- General Information
Atragranz 90WG is a selective herbicide for the control of broadleaf weeds in maize, sweetcorn, linseed and established lucerne. Atragranz 90WG is absorbed through leaves and roots ensuring a high degree of weed control when used as a post-emergence spray. To obtain the maximum residual effect from Atragranz 90WG, it should be applied to a smooth, clod-free, moist soil. Atragranz 90WG can be safely used near tomato, grape and other hormone sensitive crops.

It is an offense for users of this product to cause residues exceeding the relevant MRL in the Food Notice: Maximum Residue Levels for Agricultural Compounds. Rate of Application: 1.7 kg Atragranz 90WG in 220 - 450 liters water/ha. Time of Application: To control emerged annual broadleaf weeds such as fathen, black nightshade, willow weed, redroot and apple of Peru, apply Atragranz 90WG as an early post emergence spray to actively growing seedling weeds no greater than 5cm high. Atragranz 90WG should not be applied under dry hardened growth conditions, and the addition of a wetting agent at manufacturer’s label rates is essential for post-emergent weed control. At all stages of growth, both maize and sweetcorn are resistant to Atragranz 90WG when treated at the recommended rates of application. After treatment: Shallow molding at the time of inter-row cultivation can improve the performance of Atragranz 90WG. Under dry conditions, smother mold to a depth of 3cm seven to ten days after spraying. Grass weeds: For pre-emergence control of annual grasses, use the recommended product Dual® Gold or Sylon® 840. Fathen: Some fathen plants may be resistant to products containing atrazine, and the use of a postemergence herbicide may be necessary to remove them.
LINSEED Rates of Application: 445g Atragranz 90WG plus 1.5 liters of an MCPA 375 g/L product, e.g. Clean Sweep™, or 0.75 liters of MCPA 750 g/L product in 150 - 250 liters of water per hectare. Time of Application: To control annual broadleaf weeds such as spurrey, cornbind, willow weed and fumitory, apply the Atragranz 90WG / MCPA mixture as a post-emergence spray when the crop is not more than 6cm high. Ideally, application should be made when the soil is moist and when weeds are not beyond the two true leaf stage. LUCERNE (Established) Rates of Application: 850g Atragranz 90WG plus 2 - 3 liters of a paraquat 200 g/L product, e.g. PQ 200™ in 200 - 300 liters water per hectare. Time of Application: To control seedling shepherd’s purse, subterranean clover and storksbill, apply to closely grazed lucerne stands during the winter months when the lucerne is completely dormant. Do not apply when frost is still on the foliage, or when ground conditions are excessively wet. CAUTION: Atragranz 90WG / paraquat must be applied only to established lucerne stands that are at least one year old. Weed growth should be short, clean and free from soil contamination. Do not spray immediately following heavy grazing – allow a few days for weed growth to freshen up. Avoid excessive boom overlap when spraying. Apply ONLY when lucerne is completely dormant.
- Application Methods
Atragranz 90WG can be applied with conventional spraying equipment. Do not use strainers finer than 300 micrometers. Band spraying: Specially designed dropper equipment with rowcrop swivel nozzles should be used. Two nozzles per row, one from each side, should be angled to give uniform coverage to the recommended band width. MIXING Atragranz 90WG mixes readily with water. Pour the correct quantity into the partly filled tank then add the remaining water while agitating. Agitate thoroughly before and during spraying and before spraying after a stoppage. Unused spray mixture will settle overnight. Note: When using mixtures of Atragranz 90WG and paraquat, add the Atragranz 90WG to the partly filled tank first, mix thoroughly, then add the paraquat and remainder of the water with agitation.
- Rainfall
Providing the spray has dried on the foliage, light rain after application of Atragranz 90WG will not affect the results. Otherwise, rain within 3 hours of treatment may reduce effectiveness.
- Soil Residues
To minimize soil residues which could affect subsequent crops, areas treated with Atragranz 90WG should be plowed and cross cultivated between crops to ensure maximum dispersal of residues. Because residues may result from the use of Atragranz 90WG certain crops, for example tomatoes, cucurbits, brassicae, lettuce and beans should not be planted in areas previously treated with Atragranz 90WG without first obtaining advice from a representative of Orion AgriScience or from your supplier.
- Resistance Management
GROUP C1 HERBICIDE
Atragranz contains atrazine, a group C1 herbicide belonging to the triazine chemical family. Some naturally occurring weeds may become resistant when excessive use of the same herbicide occurs. To prevent or delay the development of resistance, use in tank mixes and/or rotate use with herbicides with a different mode of action. Consult http://resistance.nzpps.org/index.php for alternative modes of action and details of resistance management strategies (if any) for the crops listed on the label.
