Crop Specific Information
Pontos can be used on all varieties of winter crops of wheat, barley, rye and triticale.

Time of application
Pontos may be applied either pre or post–emergence of the crop up to and including the end of tillering (BBCH 29).

Rate of application
Apply Pontos at 1.0 litre per hectare pre-emergence, or 0.5 litre per hectare post emergence, in 100-400 l/ha water.

Following Crops
Following crops after normal harvest
There are no restrictions on following crops after the normal harvest of crops treated with Pontos alone.
Re-drilling due to crop failure
In the event of crop failure, winter wheat can be re-sown in the same autumn provided soil is cultivated to a minimum depth of 15 cm.
Any of the following crops may be sown provided there has been a minimum of 60 days after the application of Pontos and the soil is cultivated to a minimum depth of 15 cm; legumes, maize, sugar beet and sunflower.
Oilseed rape can be re-sown after 90 days following a pre-emergence application of
Pontos, or 60 days following a post –emergence application of Pontos and the soil is cultivated to a minimum depth of 15 cm.
Spring barley can be re-drilled 120 days following application of Pontos and the soil is cultivated to a minimum depth of 15 cm.

Application
Apply Pontos in 100–400 l/ha water volume as a MEDIUM spray as defined by BCPC.
Use the higher water volume in more dense crops where weed shading is more likely.
To ensure optimum spray coverage and minimize spray drift, adjust the spray boom to the appropriate height above the crop, according to guidance provided by the sprayer and/or nozzle manufacturer.
