Rate per acre (product)
0.9 to 1.8 L/ac

Precautions

  • Apply PRE.
  • Can be tank-mixed with glyphosate for PP burndown of emerged annual and perennial weeds, see Chapter 6, for more information.
  • Do NOT use on sands (less than 2%-3% organic matter,
  • Plant soybeans at least 4 cm deep.
  • Heavy rainfall and adverse weather conditions may result in temporary crop injury.
  • Use higher rate for muck soils and clay soils.

Rate per acre (product) 0.3 to 0.6 kg/ac

Precautions

  • Apply PP, PPI or PRE.
  • Can be tank-mixed with glyphosate or Gramoxone for PP burndown of emerged annual and perennial weeds, see Chapter 6, for more information.
  • Do NOT use on sandy or coarse soils with less than 2% organic matter.
  • Use the recommended rate for each soil types (see label), otherwise crop injury may occur.
  • Excessive rainfall and adverse weather conditions may result in crop injury.
  • Plant soybeans at least 4 cm deep.
  • For preplant applications:
    • Apply up to 30 days prior to seeding the crop.
    • Use the higher rate when weeds are dense and are on soils with high organic matter (over 4%) and on soils with high clay content.
    • If emerged weeds are taller than 4 cm, apply in tank-mix with glyphosate.
  • Some rotational cropping restrictions apply (see Table 4-4 (PDF - 82K)).

Valtera

Precautions

  • Apply to coarse and medium textured soils.
  • Apply to soybeans prior to planting or within 3 days after planting but prior to soybean emergence.
  • Severe crop injury will result if applications are made to soybeans that begun to crack through the soil surface or have emerged.
  • Do NOT within 100 metres of non-dormant pears.
  • Do NOT tank-mix with Dual II Magnum, Boundary or Frontier Max.
