Shrapnel is a selective herbicide for post-emergence use on listed annual broad-leaved weeds in sugar beet, fodder beet, red beet and mangels and strawberries.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.

RESTRICTIONS
Do not apply to crops suffering from stress due to lime or trace element deficiency, or drought, frost or pest damage.
Do not apply to crops suffering from damage due to an earlier herbicide treatment.
Do not apply where rolling or harrowing has been or will be carried out within 7 days.
Do not apply when temperatures exceed 21ºC or in strong sunlight. If treatment is essential, delay spraying until the temperature falls and light intensity reduces.
Do not apply when rain is imminent.
Consult processors before using on crops grown for processing.
Do not apply to strawberries grown under polythene tunnels or cloches.
Avoid overlaps.
Crops should not be re-entered until spray residues are dry.

CROP SAFETY
All varieties of sugar beet, fodder beet, red beet and mangels may be safely treated, so long as the crop is not suffering any stress.
See ‘Crop Specific Information’ section for further details.

RESISTANCE
This product contains phenmedipham, a Group 5 herbicide, based on the mode of action classification system of the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee.
Repeated use of herbicides with the same mode of action can increase the risk of strains of weeds developing resistance to these compounds, leading to poor control. In order to minimise the risk, a strategy for preventing and managing such resistance should be adopted.
Growers are advised to apply products containing herbicides with different modes of actionin sequence or tank-mix where two or more components are active against the target weeds.
Use the recommended rate of SHRAPNEL and the correct application timing for the hardest to control weed species present in the field.
The above should be used in conjunction with effective cropping rotation and cultivation techniques e.g. stale seedbed, cultivation and use of nonselective herbicide prior to drilling.
Further guidance on weed resistance management is available from the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) and Weed Resistance Action Group (WRAG). Follow WRAG Guidelines.

WEED CONTROL
SHRAPNEL is a contact herbicide absorbed by the leaves of weeds. An even application that wets all weeds with a MEDIUM spray under the right weather conditions and at the correct stage of weed growth is necessary to give good control of susceptible weeds.
As SHRAPNEL is only recommended post-emergence it is advised to use SHRAPNEL as part of a weed control programme following a pre-emergence herbicide. Weeds should be actively growing at the time of application. Susceptible weeds will show leaf discoloration and die within 3 to 5 days if growing conditions are good. Less susceptible weeds will take longer to die.
SHRAPNEL should be applied before susceptible weeds are beyond their recommended timing of control.
