SHOGUN is a systemic foliar applied herbicide for the post-emergence control of annual and perennial grass weeds in oilseed rape, swedes, turnips, linseed, combining peas, field beans, potatoes, sugar beet, fodder beet, carrots, parsnips, bulb onions and forest, farm forestry, forest nursery and cut log.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

SHOGUN is a systemic foliar applied herbicide for post-emergence control of annual and perennial grass weeds in oilseed rape, swedes, turnips, linseed, combining peas, field beans, potatoes, sugar beet, fodder beet, carrots, parsnips, bulb onions and forest, farm forestry, forest nursery and cut log.

Weeds must be emerged at the time of application.

RESTRICTIONS

SHOGUN is foliar acting and the dose is therefore independent of soil type.

Avoid spraying within six metres of the field boundary to reduce effects on non-target insects or other arthropods.

Avoid overlaps

Peas and Beans

If SHOGUN is applied during periods of high temperatures and/or low soil moisture content

chlorotic spotting of the crop may result, particularly on combining peas and field beans, but there is no adverse effect on subsequent growth or yield of combining peas.

Carrots, Parsnips and Onions

Crop effects can occur when the couch dose is applied at early growth stages in carrots, parsnips and onions.

Potatoes

SHOGUN must not be applied to seed crops.

Crops suffering from frost damage should not be treated.

Forestry

This covers all forestry situations including forest nursery, commercial forests, farm forests and cut logs.

SHOGUN may be applied by tractor mounted/drawn sprayer or knapsack sprayer as an overall or band treatment in all forestry situations. The sprayer should be calibrated to apply 200-250 l/ha as a FINE or MEDIUM spray (as defined by BCPC).

Resistance Warning

Strains of some annual grasses (e.g. Black-grass, Wild-Oats and Italian Rye-grass) have developed resistance to herbicides which may lead to poor control. A strategy for preventing and managing such resistance should be adopted. Guidelines have been produced by the Weed Resistance Action group and copies are available from the HGCA, CPA, your distributor, crop advisor or product manufacturer.

This product contains propaquizafop which is an ACCase inhibitor, also classified by the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee as ‘Group A’.

Use only as part of a resistance management strategy that includes cultural methods of control and does not use ACCase inhibitors as the sole chemical method of grass-weed control.

Applying a second product containing an ACCase inhibitor to a crop will increase the risk of resistance development, only use a second ACCase inhibitor to control different weeds at a different timing.

WEED CONTROL

Speed of kill will be more rapid when weeds are growing actively under warm conditions with adequate moisture. Treatment under cool conditions will give slower activity. In poor conditions use the higher dose.

Weeds germinating after application will NOT be controlled.

Broad-leaved weeds will NOT be controlled.

Annual Meadow Grass

Growth will be checked at doses of 0.7 – 1 l/ha and severely checked at 1.5 l/ha. These effects will be reduced if annual meadow-grass is beyond 3 leaves unfolded stage at spraying.

MIXING AND APPLICATION

SHOGUN should be applied as a FINE or MEDIUM spray (as defined by BCPC) in 100-200 litres water per hectare. Tank mixing with adjuvants is not required or recommended.

Good spray cover is essential for good results.

Use the higher spray volume in dense crop or weed situations.

Fill the spray tank with half the required volume of clean water and start agitation. Add the required amount of SHOGUN and fully disperse. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is completed. Spray immediately after mixing.

Sprayers should be thoroughly cleaned before use and filters and nozzles checked for damage and blockage.

SHOGUN may be applied by tractor mounted/drawn sprayer or knapsack sprayer as an overall or band treatment in forest, farm forestry, forest nursery and cut log..The sprayer should be calibrated to apply 200-250 l/ha as a FINE or MEDIUM spray (as defined by BCPC).

For knapsack sprayers:

Half fill the sprayer tank with clean water. Add the measured amount of product, with rinsings, to the sprayer tank and fit the tank lid. Gently shake the sprayer, by rocking, to ensure thorough mixing. Top up the tank with water to the correct level. Refit the tank lid and again gently shake the sprayer, by rocking, to ensure thorough mixing.
