DIRECTIONS FOR USE
 
Orient is a herbicide containing pendimethalin and picolinafen with residual and contact activity for use in winter wheat and winter barley.
 
Restrictions/Warnings
DO NOT use more than one application of Orient in one growing season.
Soil Types
- Orient can be used on any mineral soil.
- Residual control may be reduced on soils with more than 6% organic matter.
- DO NOT use on soils with more than 10% organic matter.
- DO NOT use on stony or gravely soils as crop damage can occur, particularly if heavy rain follows treatment.
- DO NOT use on water logged soil or soils prone to water logging.
Seedbed preparation
- Seed beds must have a fine, firm tilth. Loose or cloddy seed beds must be consolidated prior to application, otherwise reduced weed control may occur. They may also cause seed to be inadequately covered which could result in crop damage.
Application
- For pre-emergence applications, seed should be covered with a minimum of 3.2cm of settled soil.
- Only treat shallow drilled crops post-emergence.
- Do not spray undersown cereals or those to be undersown.
- Avoid spraying during periods of prolonged or severe frosts.
- Do not apply to crops suffering from stress, which may be caused for example by pests, disease, water logging, poor seedbed conditions or previous chemical treatment.
- Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage by drift on to plants outside the target area.
Emerged Crops
- Do not roll emerged crops prior to application.
Post-Application Requirements
- Do not soil incorporate.
- Do not disturb the soil after application.
- Do not roll autumn treated crops until the spring.
- For residual control some soil moisture is required for Orient. Best results will be obtained if rain falls within 7 days of application. Residual control may be reduced under prolonged dry conditions.
- Water logging that occurs soon after pre-emergence applications may lead to crop damage.
Some transient bleaching may be seen after application to some crops, this does not lead to yield loss.
Concentrated or diluted Orient may stain. Avoid spillage. Staining is minimised or completely removed if skin/clothes are washed immediate.
 
Weed Control
Susceptibility of weeds to single applications of Orient.
Best results will be achieved by application to small actively growing weed.

Resistance
Strains of some annual grasses (e.g. Black-grass, Wild-Oats, and Italian Ryegrass) have developed resistance to herbicides, which may lead to poor control. A strategy for preventing and managing such resistance should be adopted. Picolinafen is an inhibitor of carotenoid biosynthesis at the PDS step (a group that includes picolinafen and diflufenican).
To prevent the development of resistant weeds herbicides with different modes of action must be used when applying in sequence. Guidelines have been produced by the Weed Resistance Action Group and copies are available from HGCA, CPA, your distributor, crop adviser or product manufacturer.
 
Crops
Orient can be used on all varieties of Winter Wheat and Winter Barley.
Time of application
Pre- and post- crop emergence, up to before pseudo-stem erect (before growth stage 30).
DO NOT apply pre-emergence to crops drilled after 30 November.
Rate of application
4.0 l/ha
Before using Orient on crops to be processed please consult your processor.
 
Following crops
Before rye-grass is drilled after a very dry season, plough or cultivate to at least 15 cm. In the event of crop failure the land must be ploughed or thoroughly cultivated to a minimum depth of 15 cm to ensure any residues are evenly dispersed throughout the soil.The minimum intervals (specified below) should elapse between the application of Orient and the sowing of one of the following crops listed below.
Autumn Applications of Orient
The following crops may be sown after a minimum of 5 months:
Spring Barley; Spring Field; Beans; Brussels Sprouts; Carrots; Spring Wheat; Broad Bean;s Cabbage; Parsnips; Maize ;Dwarf Beans; Calabrese; Parsley; Peas; Turnips; Linseed; Cauliflower; Potatoes.
Following Spring and Early Summer Applications
The following crops may be sown or transplanted after a minimum interval of 2 months:
Spring Field; Beans; Brussels Sprouts; Carrots; Broad Beans; Cabbage; Parsnips; Dwarf Beans; Calabrese; Parsley; Peas; Cauliflower; Linseed; Turnips.
The following crops may be sown after a minimum interval of 5 months: Any crop (with the exception of Red Beet, Sugar Beet and Spinach) may be planted or sown. (A minimum interval of 12 months should elapse between application and sowing Red Beet, Sugar Beet and Spinach).
 
Mixing and Spraying
Apply Orient in 200 litres water/ha.
Ensure good, even spray cover of the target using a spray of fine or medium quality (BCPC definition).
Mixing
- Three-quarters fill the tank with water.
- To ensure thorough mixing of the product, invert the container several times before opening
- Add Orient while re-circulating
- Fill the tank
- Maintain circulation while spraying.
- Wash out the sprayer thoroughly after the use of Orient using a wetting agent or a proprietary spray tank cleaner particularly before using the sprayer in broad-leaved crop.
