Mozaic SX contains two highly active herbicidal ingredients with activity against a wide range of broad leaved weeds.

A non-segregating blend of water soluble granules containing 40 g/kg metsulfuron-methyl and 400 g/kg thifensulfuron-methy.

 

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.

 

Restrictions
MOZAIC SX must not be applied to any crop suffering from stress as a result of drought, waterlogging, low temperatures, pest or disease attack, nutrient or lime deficiency or other factors reducing crop growth.
Do not use MOZAIC SX on cereal crops undersown with grasses, clover or other legumes or any other broad-leaved crop.
Due to the high level of activity of the herbicide, special care must be taken to avoid damage by drift onto broad-leaved plants outside the target area, or onto ponds, waterways or ditches. Thorough cleansing of equipment is also very important - see below.
Do not apply within 7 days of rolling the crop.
Contract agents should be consulted before using on crops grown for seed.
Refer to ‘Compatibility’ for details on use of MOZAIC SX with other ‘ALS inhibiting’ herbicides

 

MOZAIC SX contains two highly active herbicidal ingredients with activity against a wide range of broad-leaved weeds. Metsulfuron-methyl and thifensulfuron-methyl are sulfonylurea herbicides. MOZAIC SX is most effective when applied to small, actively growing weeds. As larger weeds usually become less susceptible, it is important to note the size of each weed species at the time of application. Susceptible plants cease growth almost immediately after post-emergence application and symptoms can be seen about two weeks after application. Good spray cover of the weeds must be obtained. Weed control may be reduced when soil conditions are very dry.

 

When herbicides with the same mode of action are used repeatedly over several years in the same field, selection of resistant biotypes can take place. These can propagate and may become dominating. A weed species is considered resistant to a herbicide if it survives a correctly-applied treatment at the recommended dose. Development of resistance within a weed species can be avoided or delayed by sequencing or tank-mixing with suitable products having a different mode of action. A strategy for preventing and managing resistance should be adopted. The Weed Resistance Action Groups have produced guidelines and copies are available from the HGCA, CPA, your distributor, crop adviser or product manufacturer.
