• Livestock must be kept out of treated areas for at least two weeks following treatment and until poisonous weeds such as ragwort have died and become unpalatable.

• The total amount of mecoprop-P applied to an individual crop, or in a single year in the case of a perennial crop, must not exceed the maximum total dose of mecoprop-P approved for application to that crop by any single mecoprop-P containing product.

• Non-returnable containers must not be re-used for any purpose.

AVOID SPRAYING when wind would cause drift and damage to neighbouring crops.

AVOID DRIFT onto all broadleaved plants outside the target area.

DO NOT roll or harrow crops within seven days before or after spraying.

ALWAYS clean out utensils and spraying equipment after use.

 

Weed control in cereals MIRCAM ULTRA will control the following weed species at the rates and growth stages indicated above.

 

Spray in the spring when the crop has fully tillered and is at the leaf sheath erect stage but before the first node is detectable (GS 31).

Spray from when the crop has five leaves unfolded but before the first node is detectable (GS 31).

Spray from when grasses have two–three leaves provided the cereal crop is at the correct growth stage.

DO NOT SPRAY any cereal crop once the first node is detectable on the main stem (GS 31).

DO NOT SPRAY cereals undersown with clovers, lucerne, peas or beans.

Spray from when the grass has at least three leaves, usually from spring through to mid summer. Do not spray grassland where clovers or other legumes are an important constituent of the sward as they will be killed of severely checked.

Spray from the two–three leaf stage of the grass, but four–six weeks before head emergence. Around the base of apple and pear trees Post blossom, late May and July. Apply around trees and avoid drift onto tree foliage.

 

Use 4.5 litres in a minimum 120 litres of water per hectare. Apply as a medium quality spray (as defined by BCPC). A spray pressure of two–three bar is recommended.

 

Make sure the spraying machine has been properly cleaned from any previous use. Half fill the spray tank with clean water and start agitation. Pour in the required amount of MIRCAM ULTRA. Add the remainder of water and continue agitation until spraying is completed. If the machine has stopped for any time agitate thoroughly before restarting spraying. Wash the equipment thoroughly immediately after use. Fill the tank with clean water and leave overnight. Spray out before storage or using other products. Traces of the product may cause damage to susceptible crops sprayed later.

 

For best results spray in good growing conditions when the cereal crops are actively growing and the weeds are in the seedling stage. Poor crop competition may result in reduced weed control. Rain within twelve hours may affect results, as may very cold or drought conditions.

 

DO NOT spray in windy or very still conditions. Avoid drift onto all broadleaved plants outside the target area. Spray drift must be avoided especially near susceptible crops such as tomatoes, lettuce, oilseed rape, vegetables, turnips, swedes, sugar beet, peas, glasshouse crops, fruit and ornamentals
