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.
TITHE is a systemic foliar applied herbicide for the post-emergence control of annual and perennial grass weeds in oilseed rape, swedes, turnips, linseed, combining peas, field beans, dwarf French bean and Navy beans, broad beans, potatoes, sugar beet, fodder beet, carrots and bulb onions.
Weeds must be emerged at the time of application.

RESTRICTIONS OR WARNINGS

TITHE is foliar acting and the dose is therefore independent of soil type.
Avoid overlaps.
Avoid spray drift onto neighbouring crops, especially cereal crops.
Peas and Beans
If TITHE is applied during periods of high temperatures and/or low soil moisture content chlorotic spotting of the crop may result, particularly on combining peas and field beans, but there is no adverse effect on subsequent growth or yield of combining peas.
Carrots and Onions
Crop effects can occur when the couch dose is applied at early growth stages in carrots and onions.
SAMPLE
Potatoes
TITHE must not be applied to seed crops.
Crops suffering from frost damage should not be treated.
Qualified Minor Use Recommendation.
TITHE can also be used on dwarf French beans, broad beans and Navy beans as a qualified minor use recommendation as crop safety on these crops is based on limited evidence.

Resistance Warning
This product contains propaquizafop which is an ACCase inhibitor, also classified by the Herbicide Resistance
Action Committee as ‘Group 1’. Use only as part of a resistance management strategy that includes cultural methods of control and does not use ACCase inhibitors as the sole chemical method of grass-weed control.
Applying a second product containing an ACCase inhibitor to a crop will increase the risk of resistance development, only use a second ACCase inhibitor to control different weeds at a different timing.
Strains of some annual grasses (e.g. Wild oats and Italian rye-grass) 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 advisor or product manufacturer.
Specifically:
•To reduce the risk of developing resistance applications should be made to young, actively growing weeds.
•Use crop rotation and other cultural control measures to prevent and manage herbicide resistant grass weeds.
•Always follow WRAG guidelines for preventing and managing herbicide resistant grass weeds.
•Do not use ‘TITHE’ or any other ACCase inhibitor as the sole means of grass weed control in successive crops.
•Use grass weed herbicides with different modes of action throughout the cropping rotation.
•Use tank/product mixes or sequences of herbicides with different modes of action within individual crops, or successive crops.
•Monitor weed control effectiveness and investigate any odd patches of poor grass weed control. If unexplained contact your agronomist who may consider a resistance test appropriate.
