Refer to “Compatibility” for details on use of SNICKET with other ALS inhibitor herbicides. DO not apply SNICKET to any cereal crop in sequence or in tank-mixture with any product containing any other sulfonylurea herbicide not listed in “Compatibility”.

When applying SNICKET to linseed care should be taken not to overlap spray swaths.

When using tank-mixtures take care not to overlap spray swaths.

Do not use SNICKET in tank-mix on oats, triticale and linseed. On linseed allow at least 7 days between SNICKET and other treatments (10 days if crop is growing poorly or under stress).

Do not apply SNICKET more than once to any cereal or linseed crop.

Do not apply SNICKET more than once per year to land temporarily removed from production.

SNICKET 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. This applies to SNICKET alone or in a tank-mix.

Do not use SNICKET on cereal crops under-sown with grasses, clover or other legumes or any other broad-leaved crop.

Do not apply SNICKET on seedling grasses. On green covers, SNICKET should be applied to seedling cereals from the three-leaf stage.

SNICKET should not be applied within 7 days of rolling any crop.

Due to the high level of activity of the herbicide, 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.

 

SNICKET is most effective when applied to weeds that are small and actively growing (large weeds become less susceptible). Therefore take note of the size of each weed species at the time of application.

In order to obtain best results, good spray cover of weeds must be obtained. Weed control may be reduced when soil conditions are very dry.Nevertheless,with adequate soil moisture,susceptible weeds germinating soon after treatment will be controlled.

 

 

When herbicides with the same mode of action are used repeatedly over several years in the same field, selection of resistant biotypes can take place. These can propagate and may become dominating. A weed species is considered resistant to a herbicide if it survives a correctly applied treatment at the recommended dose.

Development of resistance within a weed species can be avoided or delayed by sequencing or tank-mixing with suitable products having a different mode of action.

A strategy for preventing and managing resistance should be adopted. The Weed Resistance Action Groups have produced guidelines and copies are available from the HGCA, CPA, your distributor, crop adviser or product manufacturer.

 

Snicket can be used on all soil types.

Apply in 100 - 200 litres of water per hectare, using suitable equipment to give good spray cover of the weeds. When crops are thick or weed growth dense, use 400 litres of water per hectare. When applying Snicket, care should be taken not to overlap spray swaths.

 

 Before using Snicket, make sure that the spraying equipment is clean.

When using Snicket in a tank-mix, always add Snicket to the spray tank first. Snicket mixes easily with water, but the following mixing procedure should be followed: quarter fill the spray tank with water, start the agitation and add the required quantity of Snicket directly to the tank without prior creaming. continue agitation while topping up the tank and while spraying.

 

For information on tank-mixing partners contact your distributor. the following ‘joint application’ with other sulfonylureas and ‘ALS inhibiting’ herbicides may be applied to a crop treated with Snicket.

Requirements and restrictions on the above mentioned products label must be adhered to when using in tank-mixture or sequence. Only wheat or barley can follow a cereal crop treated with a joint application of Snicket and Atlantis WG or Othello tank. Don’t tank mix with any of the products listed below: chlorpyrifos, dimethoate, fenoxaprop-P-ethyl+diclofop-methyl, flutriafol containing products, tralkoxydim + adjuvant, epoxiconazole + fenopimorph + chlormequat + mecroprop-P .

 

Snicket can be used on all winter and spring varieties of wheat, oats, barley and triticale between the growth stages given below.

Snicket must only be applied from 1 February, provided the crop has at least two leaves (wheat, oats and triticale) or three leaves (barley), until before the flag leaf sheath extending stage.

Apply Snicket at 30 g/ha when used alone or in tank-mix with other herbicides.

in case of crop failure within 3 months from the application of Snicket, sow only wheat.

Only cereals, oilseed rape, field beans or grass may be sown in the same calendar year to succeed a cereal crop treated with Snicket.

 

Snicket should be applied actively growing linseed (all varieties) from the growth stage “first pair of true leaves unfolded”, up to 30 cm high or before flower buds visible, whichever comes first. Most annual weeds are best controlled by the earliest application possible.When applying Snicket, care should be taken not to overlap spray swaths.

Apply Snicket at 30 g/ha.

Only cereals should be planted within 16 months of applying Snicket to linseed crop.

 

Snicket may be applied to areas temporarily removed from production where the green cover is made up predominantly (i.e. sufficient to maintain reasonable cover) of grassland, wheat barley oats or triticale. Where established grass species are the main cover crop, some discoloration and stunting may occur. Snicket is selective to seedling cereals from the three-leaf stage (GS 13) but should not be used on seedling grasses.

Apply Snicket at 30 g/ha in 200 litres of water/ha before 1 August in year of application. Only one application of a sulfonylurea-containing product must be made per calendar year to green cover on land temporarily removed from production.

Sow only cereals within 16 months of applying Snicket on green cover on land temporarily removed from production e.g. set-aside.

Snicket effectively controls broad-leaved docks, with best control achieved from application three weeks before or after cutting. Many other broad-leaved plants, occurring in the “set-aside’ area will also be controlled or partially controlled, hence it may not be suitable for use where wild flower borders or other forms of conservation headland are to be developed. Before using on land taken out of production as part of a grant-aided scheme, ensure compliance with the management rules of that scheme.
