Features & Benefits

General Information

Align reduces the risk of lodging in vigorous crops, susceptible cultivars, high nitrogen use situations and in field situations where there is a history of lodging. Early treatment provides greater protection from stem lodging, whereas later applications reduce yield losses caused by stem and neck breaking. Ingredients: Align contains 305 g/liter mepiquat chloride and 155 g/liter chlorethephon as the active ingredients, and up to 14g/L of acetic acid.

CAUTION: To work effectively, crops to be treated should be actively growing and free of stress caused by nutrient or moisture deficiency. Do NOT apply when temperatures are above 21o C, or to crops suffering damage or physical stress from frost, hail or herbicide damage. Secondary tillering may be a problem in treated crops, especially in situations where the application has been made early followed by a period of stress. This may have implications, especially in crops grown for malting barley, or in other situations where a bold sample of grain is required.

Applications & Uses

Application Technique
Insecticide Target Species
Spillage

Exclude non-essential people from the area. Wear protective clothing and prevent material from entering waterways. Absorb spill with inert material such as soil, sand, etc, and place in a waste container. Wash area with water and detergent, and absorb with further inert material. Dispose of safely to a suitable landfill.

Application Methods

Obtain uniform spray coverage using conventional ground boom sprayer and aerial equipment. Flush equipment thoroughly with clean water after use.

Autumn Sown Barley, Ryecorn and Triticale 1.0 - 1.5 liters in 200 liters of water. Always add 25ml/100 liters water of Synergy™ Wetter Sticker. Apply from Zadoks GS 37 (flag leaf visible) through until GS 49 (first awns visible). Use the higher rate where the risk of lodging or straw and neck breaking is high
Spring Sown Barley 1.0 - 1.5 liters in 200 liters water. Always add 25ml/100 liters water of Synergy Wetter Sticker. Apply to stress free crops from Zadoks GS 39 (flag leaf ligule visible) through until GS 49 (first awns visible). Use the higher rate where the risk of lodging or straw and neck break is high. Use the low rate in malting barley, only in situations when the crop is free from stress.

 

Mixing

When used in a mixture always add Align to the spray tank last. Use spray solution immediately. Where water has a high pH, or water containing calcium salts cannot be avoided, the addition of a pH Buffer is recommended to reduce chemical deactivation and hydrolysis.

Rainfall

Do not apply if rain is expected within 6 hours of spraying, or if the crop is wet, or frost is expected.
