A post-emergence herbicide for annual and perennial weed control in maize, barley, wheat, durum wheat, established grassland, oats, rye, seedling leys and triticale

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.
MORAINE is a post-emergence aryloxyalkanoic acid herbicide for the control of annual dicotyledonous weeds and perennial weeds in maize, wheat, barley, durum wheat, established grassland, oats, rye, seedling leys and triticale.
The best results are achieved when the weeds are actively growing when uptake of MORAINE will be at the optimum. MORAINE acts by uptake from the leaves, and from there is readily translocated to other parts of the plant, inducing auxin-type characteristics e.g. leaf curling.

RESTRICTIONS

Do not use on crops undersown with clovers or other legumes.
Crops undersown with grass may be sprayed provided the grasses are tillering.
Do not treat crops suffering stress caused by any factor, e.g. frost, drought etc.
Do not roll or harrow for 7 days before or after treatment.
Avoid drift onto non-target crops.
Where ragwort is present users should consult the
Code of Practice on How to Prevent the Spread of Ragwort. Ragwort plants sprayed with this herbicide are more palatable with higher levels of toxins.
Animals should be excluded from treated areas until any ragwort has completely recovered or died and there is no visual sign of the dead weed. Do not include treated ragwort in hay or silage crops.
Do not spray if night temperatures are low or if frost is imminent
Wash equipment thoroughly with water and detergent immediately after use. Traces of MORAINE can cause harm to susceptible crops sprayed later.
Crops should not be re-entered until spray residuesare dry
