A capsule suspension containing 455 g/l pendimethalin. A herbicide for the control of a range of grass and annual broad-leaved weeds in a wide range of crops.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

A herbicide for the control of annual-grass and broad-leaved weeds in a wide range of crops.

Restrictions/Warnings

Efficacy

Some soil moisture must be present for STOMP AQUA to be activated. Best results will be obtained if rainfall occurs within seven days of application.

Residual control may be reduced:

- under prolonged dry conditions

- on soils with a high Kd factor

- where organic matter exceeds 6%

- where ash content is high.

Do not disturb the soil after STOMP AQUA has been applied as this will result in reduced weed control.

Where cultural techniques which encourage the build up of organic residues in the surface soil are practised for a number of seasons, the effectiveness of residual herbicides may be reduced. In such circumstances periodic ploughing is recommended to disperse residues into a greater volume of soil.

Soil types

Stomp Aqua may be used on all mineral soil types.

Do not use on soils with more than 10% organic matter.

On stony or gravely soils there is a risk of crop damage, especially if heavy rain falls soon after application.

Do not use on water logged soil or soils prone to water logging.

Seedbed preparation

Trash and straw should be incorporated evenly during seedbed preparation.

Seedbed must have a fine, firm tilth.

Consolidate loose or cloddy seedbeds before use.

Following pre-emergence applications, unconsolidated clods (especially if larger than 75mm (3“) diameter) may reduce the level of weed control and cause seed to be inadequately covered, which could result in crop damage.

Crop safety

Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage by drift onto plants outside the target area.

Do not apply STOMP AQUA to crops suffering from stress, which may be caused for example by pests, disease, water logging, poor seedbed conditions or previous chemical treatment.

Seed should be covered with a minimum of 3.2cm of settled soil (2.5cm for Peas and Sunflowers, 5cm for Maize).

Shallow drilled crops should be treated post-emergence.

Do not soil incorporate.

Do not spray undersown crops.

Do not undersow crops treated with STOMP AQUA.

STOMP AQUA should not be used on protected crops, or in greenhouses.

Other Restrictions/Warnings

Before using STOMP AQUA on crops to be processed please consult your processor.

Concentrated or diluted STOMP AQUA may stain. Avoid spillage.

Staining is minimised or completely removed if skin and clothes are washed immediately.

Hose down machinery immediately after use with a spray tank cleaner.

Resistance management

Strains of some annual grasses (eg Black-grass, Wild-Oats, and Italian Ryegrass) 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 adviser or product manufacturer. Populations of Black-grass and Italian ryegrass with high levels of enhanced metabolism resistance will not be fully controlled.

Key elements of the resistance management strategy for STOMP AQUA:

- Always follow WRAG guidelines for preventing and managing herbicide resistant weeds.

- Maximise the use of cultural control measures wherever possible (e.g. crop rotation, ploughing, stale seedbeds, delayed drilling, etc).

- Use tank mixes or sequences of effective herbicides with different modes of action within individual crops, or successive crops.

- For the control of herbicide resistant grassweeds, always use STOMP AQUA in tank mix or sequence with other effective graminicides with different modes of action.

- Apply pre-emergence of weeds wherever possible. If applications are delayed, apply post-emergence products/mixtures to small, actively growing weeds, especially where high levels of resistance are suspected and to reduce the risk of resistance development.

- Monitor fields regularly and investigate the reasons for any poor control.

Crop specific information

Stomp Aqua is recommended for use on all varieties of approved crops on any mineral soil except where indicated in the tables below.

Winter wheat including Durum wheat, winter barley

Product: STOMP AQUA

Rate: 2.9 or 2.2 l/ha

Water volume:100 to 200 litres/hectare.

Timing: Pre-emergence of the crop to before leaf sheath erect stage, (GS30). Do not apply pre-emergence to crops drilled after 30th November.

Seed depth :Seed must be covered with a MINIMUM of 3.2cm of settled soil. ONLY treat shallow drilled crops POST-EMERGENCE

Winter wheat

STOMP AQUA applied in tank mix with Atlantis WG

Product: STOMP AQUA + Atlantis WG + Biopower

Rate: 2.9 l/ha + 400 g/ha + 0.5%

Timing: Apply post-emergence from 2 leaves on the crop. Apply to young, actively growing weeds. Optimum timing for Black-grass control is 1-3 leaves of the Black-grass.

Notes:For optimum activity, apply when weather conditions promote active weed growth. Do not apply to crops suffering from stress, which may be caused for example by pests, disease, water logging, poor seedbed conditions or previous chemical treatment. Under certain climatic, soil and crop conditions some slight chlorosis and stunting of the crop may occur. If frost is likely, avoid spraying non frost-hardened crops. Avoid spraying during periods of prolonged or severe frost. Control may be reduced if rain falls within 2 hours of application. Thoroughly clean all spray equipment with a proprietary sprayer cleaner immediately after spraying to avoid subsequent damage to crops other than cereals. Consult Atlantis WG product label for information on sequences with other sulfonylurea or ‘ALS-inhibiting’ herbicides

STOMP AQUA applied in tank mix with Lexus SX

Product: STOMP AQUA + Lexus SX

Rate: 2.9 l/ha + 20 g/ha

Water volume: 100 to 200 litres/hectare.

Timing: Apply post-emergence from 2 leaves on the crop. Apply to young, actively growing weeds. Optimum timing for Black-grass control is 1-3 leaves of the Black-grass.

Notes: For optimum activity, apply when weather conditions promote active weed growth. Do not apply to crops suffering from stress, which may be caused for example by pests, disease, water logging, poor seedbed conditions or previous chemical treatment. Under certain climatic, soil and crop conditions some slight chlorosis and stunting of the crop may occur. If frost is likely, avoid spraying non frost-hardened crops. Avoid spraying during periods of prolonged or severe frost. Do not apply if rain is imminent. Thoroughly clean all spray equipment with a proprietary sprayer cleaner immediately after spraying to avoid subsequent damage to crops other than cereals. Consult Lexus SX product label for information on sequences with other sulfonylurea or ‘ALS-inhibiting’ herbicides.

Winter rye, Triticale

Product: STOMP AQUA

Rate: 2.9 or 2.2 l/ha

Water volume: 100 to 200 litres/hectare.

Timing: Pre-emergence of the crop to before leaf sheath erect stage, (GS30). Do not apply pre-emergence to crops drilled after 30th November.

Seed depth: Seed must be covered with a MINIMUM of 3.2cm of settled soil. ONLY treat shallow drilled crops POST-EMERGENCE

Spring barley

Product: STOMP AQUA

Rate: 2.9 l/ha

Water volume: 100 to 200 litres/hectare.

Timing: Pre-emergence of the crop. Apply STOMP AQUA as soon as possible after drilling and before emergence. Due to risk of dry soils, do not apply STOMP AQUA alone after the end of March (mid April in Scotland) unless rainfall is imminent.

Seed depth: Seed must be covered with a MINIMUM of 3.2cm of settled soil.

Combining Peas

Product: STOMP AQUA

Rate: 2.9 l/ha

Water volume: 100 to 200 litres/hectare.

Timing: Pre-emergence of the crop. Apply STOMP AQUA as soon as possible after sowing and final seedbed preparation. Do not apply if the plumule is less than 13mm from the soil surface. Due to risk of dry soils, do not apply STOMP AQUA alone after the end of March (mid April in Scotland) unless rainfall is imminent. Soil types All mineral soils except gravelly soils

Seed depth: Seed must be covered with a MINIMUM of 2.5cm of settled soil.

Potatoes (First early, second early & maincrops)

Products: STOMP AQUA + Sencorex WG

Rate: 2.9 l/ha + 0.5 kg/ha. In dry conditions apply a STOMP AQUA – Sencorex WG sequence.

Water volume: 200 litres/hectare.

Timing: Pre-emergence of the crop. Apply as soon as possible after planting and final ridging up. Loose structured ridges must be allowed time for settlement before application. Do not apply later than 7 days before emergence. Soil types Do not use on Sands (S), Gravelly or Stony soils. Variety Read the Sencorex WG label carefully, particularly with regard to varietal restrictions. Application STOMP AQUA + Sencorex WG should be applied in a minimum of 200 litres of water/ha.

Notes: Best weed control will be achieved with settled well-rounded ridges with few clods. If re-ridging is necessary, delay application until after the final ridging is completed. Slight distortion and discolouration of the initial shoots may occur if very heavy rain falls after application but before emergence, particularly to crops grown on very light soils. This is quickly outgrown and subsequent growth is unaffected. Read the Sencorex WG label carefully, particularly with regard to following crop restrictions.

Sunflowers

Product: STOMP AQUA

Rate :2.9 l/ha

Water volume: 100 to 200 litres/hectare.

Timing: Apply as soon as possible after sowing and final seedbed cultivation, before crop and weed emergence.

Seedbed: Consolidate seedbeds after drilling to provide a firm level soil. Seed should be drilled so that after seedbed consolidation it is covered by a minimum of 2.5cm of settled soil.

Carrots and Parsnips

Product: STOMP AQUA

Rate: 2.9 l/ha

Water volume: 100 to 200 litres/hectare.

Timing:Apply as soon as possible after drilling but before crop and weed emergence.

Notes: If emerged weeds are present after drilling but pre-emergence of the crop, STOMP AQUA may be applied in tank mix with a recommended approved contact herbicide.

Transplanted Brassicas (Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, Cabbages, Calabrese, Cauliflowers)

Product: STOMP AQUA Rate 2.9 l/ha

Water volume: 100 to 200 litres/hectare.

Timing: Apply after final plantbed cultivation but before transplanting. Do not apply STOMP AQUA post-planting as crop damage may occur. Do not apply STOMP AQUA to any transplanted brassicas when heavy rain is forecast. Application Do not incorporate and avoid all unnecessary disturbance to soil after application. When transplanting care must be taken not to introduce treated soil into the root zone. If necessary, irrigation should be used before application as some moisture is essential for the chemical to be activated.

Soil types: Do not use on crops grown on sands (CS, S, FS, LCS), very light soils (LS, LFS, CSL), as crop damage may result.

Notes: If emerged weeds are present at pre-transplanting application, apply STOMP AQUA in tank mix with a recommended approved contact herbicide.

Bulb onions (Spring and autumn, drilled or transplanted) and Leeks (drilled only)

Product: STOMP AQUA

Rate: 2.9 l/ha

Water volume: 100 to 200 litres/hectare.

Timing: Drilled crops - apply STOMP AQUA as soon as possible after drilling but before crop or weed emergence. Transplanted crops - apply STOMP AQUA pre-transplanting. Do not apply STOMP AQUA to any onion or leek crop when heavy rain is forecast.

Seed depth: Seed should be covered with a minimum of 2.5cm of settled soil.

Application: When transplanting, care must be taken not to introduce treated soil into the root zone.

Soil types :STOMP AQUA is not recommended for use on onions or leeks grown on sands (CS, S, FS, LCS), very light soils (LS, LFS, CSL), as crop damage may result. STOMP AQUA is not recommended for use on onions or leeks grown on fen soils or other soils containing in excess of 10% organic matter, as weed control may be reduced.

Notes: If weeds are present, these can be controlled by applying STOMP AQUA in tank mix with a recommended contact herbicide. Read tank mix partner label carefully for restrictions on transplanted multi-seeded onions or leeks.

Forage and Grain maize (including crops grown under temporary plastic mulch)

Product: STOMP AQUA

Rate: 3.3 l/ha Water volume 100 to 200 litres/hectare.

Timing: Forage and grain maize: before 4th leaf of the crop. Maize grown under temporary plastic mulch: pre-emergence.

Notes: Do not use on Sweetcorn or Maize grown for seed.Seed must be covered by a minimum of 5cm of settled soil. The use of STOMP AQUA may affect the full development of crown roots which function only to anchor the plant. This has no effect on the yield of maize. If application is followed by a period of dry conditions or in situations where very heavy populations occur, a sequence of STOMP AQUA and a product applied post-emergence may be necessary.

Strawberries (Maiden and Established crops) Product STOMP AQUA

Rate: 2.9 l/ha

Water volume: 100 to 200 litres/hectare.

Timing :Maiden Beds - runners should be planted so that roots are well covered. - good consolidation of the plantbed is necessary for good weed control. - STOMP AQUA should be applied to dormant newly planted runners in the autumn or early spring immediately after planting and prior to weed emergence. - if runners are likely to be slow in establishing due to stress conditions, such as drought, at the time of planting, the application of STOMP AQUA should be delayed until plants have established and are free of stress. - application made after runners have started growing away may reduce the initial vigour of new foliage but this will be rapidly outgrown. - do not apply STOMP AQUA before October to beds newly planted with cold-stored runners or beds newly planted in late summer. - pre-planting application of STOMP AQUA is not recommended. Established beds - apply STOMP AQUA to weed free soil from autumn to early spring during the dormant period of the crop. - STOMP AQUA applied after the end of March or after the emergence of flower trusses in the spring may affect crop yield, particularly if conditions adverse to vigorous plant growth follow application. - do not apply STOMP AQUA during the flower initiation period (immediately post-harvest to mid-September).

Notes: Leaf growth of strawberries may be checked following applications of STOMP AQUA in the spring but, in extensive experimentation, this has been shown not to affect yield. Do NOT use STOMP AQUA on protected crops or crops grown in green houses

Mixing and Application

Mixing

Never prepare more spray solution than is required.

Three quarters fill the tank with clean water and start the agitation. To ensure thorough mixing of the product, invert the container several times before opening. Add the required quantity of STOMP AQUA to the spray tank while re-circulating. Fill up the tank with water and continue agitation until spraying is completed.

On emptying the container, rinse container thoroughly by using an integrated pressure rinsing device or manually rinsing three times. Add washings to sprayer at time of filling and dispose of container safely.

When tank mixes are to be used, each product should be added separately to the spray tank and fully dispersed before the addition of any further product(s). Add products to the spray tank in the following order:

1) Wettable powders (WP)

2) Dry flowables or water dispersible granules (WG)

3) Suspensions (e.g. Stomp Aqua)

4) Suspension concentrates (e.g. SC or SE)

5) Emulsifiable concentrates (e.g. EW or EC)

6) Soluble concentrates (SL)

Maintain agitation at all times.

Spray out as soon as possible after mixing.

Do not let the mixture stand.

Application

Ensure good, even spray cover of the target using a FINE or MEDIUM quality spray, as defined by BCPC.

Apply STOMP AQUA in 100-200 l/ha. For potatoes apply STOMP AQUA in minimum 200 l/ha water.

When tank mixing with other products use a minimum water volume of 150-200 l/ha depending on the tank mix partner.

Do not use less than 30 mesh inline boom or nozzle filters.

Sprayer cleaning

After spraying thoroughly clean and flush out application machinery with a minimum of three rinses, to ensure that all traces of product are removed to avoid sticking of dried material to spray tank walls or spray lines, etc.

Tank Mixtures

When tank-mixing ONLY APPLY within label conditions for each product.

Tank mixes for Winter cereals

If tank mixing with mecoprop, follow stewardship guidelines for timing of applications and rates of use

Two-way mixes (up to max of 2.9 l/ha STOMP AQUA):Ally SX ;Atlantis WG ;Lexus SX ;Oxytril CM; Dursban 4; Spannit; Duplosan KV ;Decis ;Toppel 10.

(Omex Suspension Fertilisers : STOMP AQUA may be applied pre-emergence of both crop and weeds in tank-mix with the Omex range of suspension fertilisers. Pre-mix STOMP AQUA 1-to-1 with water prior to mixing with liquid fertilisers. Add STOMP AQUA to the spray tank through the injection lance on the Omex equipment and continuous agitation should be maintained during mixing and until application is completed. Apply in a minimum of 200 litres/hectare. Do not soil incorporate. For best weed control, an even coverage of the soil with the spray is essential.)

Sequential treatments

STOMP AQUA may be used in sequence with any other approved product. Leave a minimum interval of 24 hours unless longer is specified on the label. STOMP AQUA may be applied in sequence with Avadex Excel 15G provided only one product is applied pre-emergence of the crop.
