DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be carefully read to ensure safe and successful use of this product.

GENERAL INFORMATION

CLAYTON MESSIER is a herbicide effective against a range of broad-leaved weeds. The ideal timing for application is when the weeds are small and actively growing. However, its effectiveness may be reduced when soils are very dry.

NOTES

• Avoid overlapping spray bouts.

• Do not use any plant material treated with CLAYTON MESSIER for composting or mulching.

• Do not use manure from animals fed on crops treated with CLAYTON MESSIER for composting.

• Do not spray when crops are under stress due to cold, drought, pest damage, nutrient deficiency, or other factors.

• Do not roll or harrow 7 days before or after application.

• Take extreme care to avoid drift onto crops and non-target plants outside the target area.

FOLLOWING CROPS

• Straw from cereals treated with CLAYTON MESSIER may contain residues that could damage certain crops. To avoid this risk, bale and remove the straw.

• If straw is chopped and incorporated, avoid planting winter beans in the same year.

• CLAYTON MESSIER residues in plant tissues (including manure and digestate) that have not fully decayed may affect succeeding susceptible crops. Avoid planting peas, beans, legumes, carrots, umbellifers, potatoes, lettuce, compositae, and glasshouse/protected crops if crop remains have not fully decayed.

• Crops that can be sown in the same year as the harvest of a crop treated with CLAYTON MESSIER: cereals, oilseed rape, grass, and vegetable brassicas as transplants. Vigour reductions may be seen in oilseed rape following a dry summer, but this will be outgrown without yield loss.

• Crops that can be sown in the calendar year following treatment: cereals, oilseed rape, field beans, grass, linseed, peas, sugar beet, potatoes, maize, clover (in grass/clover mixtures), carrots, and vegetable brassicas as transplants.

JOINT APPLICATION

A joint application refers to the use of a product in a tank mixture or sequence with another product.

• Products containing fluroxypyr and/or clopyralid CANNOT be tank mixed with CLAYTON MESSIER.

• Applications of another product containing florasulam can be made, provided the total dose of florasulam does not exceed the maximum limits.

  • Maximum total dose of florasulam must not exceed 7.5 g/ha per crop.

  • For autumn-planted crops, the maximum total dose of 3.75 g/ha of florasulam must be observed between crop emergence in the year of planting and February 1st in the year of harvest.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

• Joint applications should only be made within the label recommendations of each product in the application.

• Only one other product with an ALS inhibitor mode of action may be applied to a cereal crop treated with CLAYTON MESSIER.

• CLAYTON MESSIER can be applied in joint application with one other ALS product. Consult your adviser or supplier for details.
