A selective herbicide for control of broad-leaved weeds in Cereals and Grassland.
Contains 500 g/l (44.25% w/w) MCPA as the dimethylamine salt.

Crops:
Winter and Spring Wheat, Barley, Rye and Oats (including undersown with Red
Clover or Grass), Grassland, Grass Seed Crops.

Introduction:
HEADLAND SPEAR may be applied to all commercially available varieties of Winter and Spring Wheat, Barley, Rye and Oats and to Grass Seed crops and established Grassland.
For best results, spray when annual weeds are at the seedling stage and perennial weeds when the flower buds are forming provided the crop is at the recommended stage for treatment. Spraying should ideally be carried out in warm weather when the weeds are growing vigorously.
Warning: Extreme care must be taken to avoid spray drift onto neighbouring crops, outside the target area.
Do not spray in windy weather. Avoid drift onto neighbouring crops, especially Beans, Beet, Brassicas, Carrots, Legumes, Lettuce and Tomatoes, all of which are very susceptible.

Restrictions:
Do not roll or harrow crops within a week of spraying.
Do not treat newly established grass less than 1 year old.
Do not treat grass suffering from drought, disease, in freezing conditions, when rain is imminent or other adverse factors.
Do not apply before undersowing.
Wash all equipment thoroughly after use. Rinse with water three times, drain and allow to dry. Traces of herbicide left in the sprayer may damage susceptible crops if these are subsequently sprayed using the same equipment.
Do not apply in volumes less than 200 l/ha of water.
Do not mow within 4 days of application.
The first 4 mowings after treatment must be composted for at least 6 months.

Mixing and Application:
Half-fill the spray tank and start agitation. Add the required amount of HEADLAND SPEAR. Add the rest of the water and agitate gently until the contents are thoroughly mixed. Maintain agitation until spraying is completed.
Apply using a medium/coarse spray (BCPC definition).
Wash all equipment thoroughly after use. Rinse with water three times, drain and allow to dry. Traces of herbicide left in the sprayer may damage susceptible crops if these are subsequently sprayed using the same equipment.
