Introduction:
Applications of HEADLAND STAFF 500 may be made to all commercially available varieties of Winter and Spring Wheat, and Barley, Winter Oats, Winter Rye, established Grassland, Amenity Grassland and Managed Amenity Turf.

Sprays should be applied when the crop is actively growing. In general, annual weeds are most susceptible at the seedling stage and perennial weeds when the flower buds are forming. The timing of a cereal spray must be determined by the stage of crop growth.
WARNING HEADLAND STAFF 500 is active at low concentrations. DO NOT SPRAY in windy conditions as spray drift may cause damage to neighbouring crops.
The following crops are particularly sensitive - Beet, Brassicae (e.g. Turnips, Swedes, Oilseed Rape), and most market garden crops e.g. Lettuce, Cucumbers and Tomatoes under glass, Pears and Vines.
WASH equipment thoroughly with water and a wetting agent or liquid detergent immediately after use. Spray out, fill with clean water and leave overnight.
Spray out again before storing or using for another product. Traces of product can cause harm to susceptible crops sprayed later.
