DIRECTIONS FOR USE
RESTRICTIONS AND WARNINGS
Do not apply to crops suffering from stress due to lime or trace element deficiency, drought, frost or pest damage.
Do not apply to crops suffering from damage due to an earlier herbicide treatment.
Do not apply when temperatures exceed 21ºC or in strong sunlight. If treatment is essential, delay spraying until the temperature falls and light intensity reduces.
Do not apply TWIN with any insecticide or adjuvant.
An interval of at least 7 days should elapse before or after application of broad-leaved herbicides or graminicides. An interval of at least 5 days must elapse between applications of TWIN.
 
WEED CONTROL
For best results the largest weeds should not be beyond the fully expanded cotyledon stage at spraying.
 
CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
All varieties of sugar beet, fodder beet and mangels may be treated.
 
Timing
The recommended time of application is at the fully expanded cotyledon stage of the largest weed present.
A single application of TWIN will not give season-long control. Subsequent applications should be made as each flush of weeds reaches the cotyledon stage.
Susceptible weeds may not be killed by the first treatments but may be checked and then controlled by later applications.
A minimum of 5 days must elapse between treatments.
 
Rate of Application
A programme of treatments should be applied. The first application should be made at 2 L/ha in 80-100 L of water per ha when the crop is at the fully expanded cotyledons stage. Subsequent applications should be made at 3 L/ha in 80-100 L water per ha from the two fully expanded true leaf stage of the crop.
Under good growing conditions when weeds are at the cotyledon stage, at least one of the 3 L/ha doses may be replaced with a 2 L/ha dose to provide useful control of these weeds.
 
Succeeding crops
Beet crops may be sown at any time following the use of TWIN. Three months must elapse before any other crop is sown, and mould-board ploughing to a depth of 15 cm must precede seedbed preparation.
 
MIXING AND APPLICATION
Add the required quantity of TWIN to a quarter-filled spray tank with continuous agitation, then add the remaining volume of water. Continue agitation during spraying.
Ensure that all spraying equipment is thoroughly washed out immediately after use. Use a recognised tank cleaner.
Use a FINE spray as defined by the BCPC system. Avoid spray drift.
