A selective herbicide for use in Winter Wheat, Spring Wheat and Spring Barley.
A non-segregating blend of water-soluble granules containing 40 g/kg of metsulfuron-methyl and 400 g/kg thifensulfuron-methyl.
A sulfonylurea herbicide for spring control of broad-leaved weeds in Winter Wheat, Spring Wheat and Spring Barley.

Introduction:
PENNANT contains two sulfonylurea herbicides for spring control of a very useful range of broad-leaved weeds in Winter Wheat, Spring Wheat and Spring

Restrictions:
PENNANT 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 apply PENNANT to Cereal crops undersown with Grasses, Clover or other Legumes or any other broad-leaved crop.
Do not apply PENNANT to any Cereal crop in sequence or in tank-mixture with a product containing any other sulfonylurea herbicides except in sequence with;
Flupyrsulfuron-methyl (12996, 12979);
Flupyrsulfuron-methyl in combination with carfentrazone-ethyl (10809);
Amidosulfuron (07318, 07333) (See ‘Compatibility’ on page 4/6).
Due to the high level of activity of PENNANT, 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 ‘Spray Tank Clean-out’ on page 4/6.
PENNANTmust not be tank-mixed with certain pesticides (see ‘Compatibility’ on page 4/6). Contract agents should be consulted before using on crops being grown for seed.

Timing:
Apply in the Spring after February 1st from the ‘3-leaf’ stage up to and including the ‘flag leaf fully emerged’ stage of growth.
PENNANT should not be applied within 7 days of rolling the crop.
Do not apply PENNANT more than once to any Cereal crop.

Following Crops:
Only Cereals, Oilseed Rape, Field Beans or Grass may be sown in the same calendar year as harvest of a Cereal crop treated with PENNANT. In case of crop failure for any reason, sow only Winter Wheat within 3 months of application of PENNANT. Before sowing, soil should be ploughed and cultivated to a depth of at least 15 cms.
When PENNANT and Dagger are applied to the same Cereal crop, only Wheat, Barley, Rye or Triticale should follow as the effects of the combination of both products on other following crops are not fully determined.

Volume and Application:
BEFORE USING PENNANT, SPRAYING EQUIPMENT MUST BE CLEAN AND FREE FROM CONTAMINATION WITH OTHER PESTICIDES.
Application should be made in 200 litres of water per hectare using suitable ground equipment to give good spray cover of the weeds. When crops are thick or weed growth is dense, use higher volumes of water (up to 400 l/ha) to ensure good spray cover of the weeds. Use a conventional field crop sprayer at a pressure of 2-3 bar, and apply as a ‘Medium’ spray (as defined by BCPC). Take care not to overlap spray swaths.

Soil and Weather:
PENNANT can be used on all soil types. Weed control may be reduced when conditions are very dry.

Mixing:
1/4 fill the spray tank with water, start the agitation and steadily add the required quantity of PENNANT directly to the tank without prior creaming.
Continue agitation while topping up the tank and while spraying.
