GENERAL INFORMATION

BENTA SUPER is a liquid herbicide for selective post-emergence control of many broadleaf weeds, yellow nutsedge, cleavers, stork’s bill and volunteer canola in soybeans, dry and snap common beans, peas, lima beans, faba beans, corn (grain, silage, sweet and seed), flax (including low linolenic acid varieties), peanuts, spring wheat (excluding durum), snow peas, seedling forages (alfalfa*, red clover**, alsike clover**, sainfoin**, bromegrass**, creeping red fescue**, meadow foxtail**, orchardgrass**, timothy and crested wheatgrass**), established forages (alfalfa*, red clover*, sainfoin* and sweet clover*) and newly-planted fruit trees - apple, apricot, cherry, peach, pear and nectarine. (Directed use only. Do not overspray.)

BENTA SUPER is an herbicide with mainly contact action. Uptake into the plant occurs primarily through the leaves. Thorough coverage of foliage is important for consistent weed control. Failure to penetrate crop or weed leaf canopies with the spray will result in incomplete control of small weeds growing underneath.
Cool weather conditions or drought will delay herbicidal activity and if prolonged, may result in poor weed control. Use of BENTA SUPER in hot, humid weather may result in temporary leaf yellowing, leaf flecking, bronzing or burning. The crop usually outgrows this condition within l0 days (see Restrictions and Limitations).
BENTA SUPER will also control yellow nutsedge in blueberries (directed spray only) and turf (sod farms and golf courses only).
* For seed production only.
** For seed production only in WesternCanada.
BENTA SUPER does not control grasses.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Timing of Application
Apply BENTA SUPER when broadleaf weeds are small and actively growing and before the weeds reach the maximum size recommended for treatment as listed in the BENTA SUPER Weed Control and Application Rate Table. BENTA SUPER should be applied when the main weed of concern is in the suggested growth stage for treatment.
Early treatment of weeds with BENTA SUPER is important to maximize crop yield potential through elimination of early weed competition and permits optimum coverage of the weeds, thereby increasing the performance of BENTA SUPER.
Although the timing of application should be primarily in relation to the stage of weed growth, the crop must be in a tolerant stage as shown below. The information on usual stage of crop for optimum weed control may also serve as a guide to spray timing.

Blueberries
Apply BENTA SUPER at the rate of 1.75 L/ha plus ASSIST Oil Concentrate not to exceed 2 L/ha when yellow nutsedge is15-20 centimetres tall.
Use as a directed spray only. Do notoverspray.

Apply by ground in sufficient water volume of 100-400 L of water per hectare at 140 kPa spray pressure.
Repeat application in 7-10 days but do not apply BENTA SUPER more than two times per year.
BENTA SUPER may not be applied within 25 days of harvest.
Snow Peas
Apply BENTA SUPER at the rate of 1.75 L/ha plus ASSIST oil concentrate at 1 to 2 L/ha once a year at or after 3-leaf stage of the crop.
Apply by ground in sufficient water volume of 300 L of water per hectare.
Do not apply BENTA SUPER within 30 days of harvest.
Turf
For optimum control in turf, treat when nutsedge is young and actively growing. An additional application may be necessary at an interval of 10 to 14 days. Do not apply more than two applications of BENTA SUPER per year. For best results, do not mow grass 3 to 5 days before or after application. Do not treat newly-seeded turf until seedlings are well established as injury may result.
ADDITIVES
Use ASSIST Oil Concentrate or XATM Oil Concentrate at the rate of 1.0 to 2.0 L/ha (depending on climatic conditions and the spray volume used) for improved control of broadleaf weeds and yellow nutsedge on all crops. Either CITOWETT PLUS or ASSIST or XA Oil Concentrate can be used on peas. Refer to Spraying Instructions table on page 6.
Additives in Soybeans Only
Add 6 L/ha ammonium sulphate or 10 L/ha 28% urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) for improved and more consistent control of velvetleaf and lamb’s-quarters in soybeans. The addition of either form of nitrogen source to BENTA SUPER may cause slight leaf burn, but the new growth is normal and crop vigour is not reduced.
A high quality source of 28% UAN or ammonium sulphate should be used to avoid solids or contaminants that may interfere with spray application (clogging nozzle tips) or reduced product performance. Do not use brass or aluminum nozzles when spraying BENTA SUPER plus a nitrogen source. Note: Do not add nitrogen source when tank mixing BENTA SUPER with PINNACLE and
ASSIST or XA Oil Concentrate.
Additive in Dry Beans (pinto, great northern, pink and small red)
The addition of ammonium sulphate at 1.5% v/v will result in more consistent weed control. The addition of ammonium sulphate may cause some leaf burn, but new growth is normal and yield is not reduced. The potential for leaf burn is increased when relative humidity and temperature are high. Use with ASSIST Oil Concentrate.
Do not apply BENTA SUPER + ASSIST or XA Oil Concentrate with the addition of either 28%
UREA AMMONIUM NITRATE or AMMONIUM SULPHATE byair.
Do not use any additives not specifically registered under the Pest Control Products Act for use with BENTA SUPER.
