Crop specific information
PENTA is recommended for use on all varieties of approved crops on any mineral soil except where indicated in the tables below.

Winter wheat including Durum wheat, winter barley
PENTA applied alone
Product PENTA
Rate 2.5 or 3.3 l/ha
Water volume 100 to 200 litres/hectare.
Timing Pre-emergence of the crop to before leaf sheath erect stage, (GS30). Do not apply pre-emergence to crops drilled after 30th November.
Seed depth Seed must be covered with a MINIMUM of 3.2cm of settled soil. ONLY treat shallow drilled crops POSTEMERGENCE.

Winter rye, Triticale
Product PENTA
Rate 2.5 or 3.3 l/ha
Water volume 100 to 200 litres/hectare
Timing Pre-emergence of the crop to before leaf sheath erect stage, (GS30). Do not apply pre-emergence to crops drilled after 30th November.
Seed depth Seed must be covered with a MINIMUM of 3.2 cm of settled soil. ONLY treat shallow drilled crops POSTEMERGENCE.

Spring barley
Product PENTA
Rate 3.3 l/ha
Water volume 100 to 200 litres/hectare.
Timing Pre-emergence of the crop. Apply PENTA as soon as possible after drilling and before emergence. Due to risk of dry soils, do not apply PENTA SC alone after the end of March (mid April in Scotland) unless rainfall is imminent. Seed depth Seed must be covered with a MINIMUM of 3.2 cm of settled soil.

Combining Peas
Product PENTA
Rate 3.3 l/ha
Water volume 100 to 200 litres/hectare
Timing Pre-emergence of the crop. Apply PENTA as soon as possible after sowing and final seedbed preparation. Do not apply if the plumule is less than 13mm from the soil surface. Due to risk of dry soils, do not apply PENTA alone after the end of March (mid April in Scotland) unless rainfall is imminent.
Soil types All mineral soils except gravelly soils Seed depth Seed must be covered with a MINIMUM of 2.5cm of settled soil

Potatoes (First early, second early & main crops)
Products PENTA + SHOTPUT
Rate 3.3 l/ha + 0.5 kg/ha. In dry conditions apply a PENTA –
SHOTPUTsequence. Water volume 200 litres/hectare.
Timing Pre-emergence of the crop. Apply as soon as possible after planting and final ridging up. Loose structured ridges must be allowed time for settlement before application. Do not apply later than 7 days before emergence. Soil types Do not use on Sands (S), Gravelly or Stony soils
Variety Read the SHOTPUT label carefully, particularly with regard to varietal restrictions.
Application PENTA + SHOTPUTshould be applied in a minimum of 200 litres of water/ha.
Notes Best weed control will be achieved with settled well-rounded ridges with few clods. If re-ridging is necessary, delay application until after the final ridging is completed. Slight distortion and discolouration of the initial shoots may occur if very heavy rain falls after application but before emergence, particularly to crops grown on very light soils. This is quickly outgrown and subsequent growth is unaffected. Read the SHOTPUT label carefully, particularly with regard to following crop restrictions.

Sunflowers
Product PENTA
Rate 3.3 l/ha
Water volume 100 to 200 litres/hectare.
Timing Apply as soon as possible after sowing and final seedbed cultivation, before crop and weed emergence. Seedbed Consolidate seedbeds after drilling to provide a firm level soil. Seed should be drilled so that after seedbed consolidation it is covered by a minimum of 2.5cm of settled soil.

Carrots and Parsnips
Product PENTA
Rate 3.3 l/ha
Water volume 100 to 200 litres/hectare.
Timing Apply as soon as possible after drilling but before crop and weed emergence. Notes If emerged weeds are present after drilling but pre-emergence of the crop, PENTA may be applied in tank mix with a recommended approved contact herbicide.
