Resistance Management

GROUP N HERBICIDE

Claw contains ethofumesate, which belongs to the benzofuranes 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.

Directions For Use
Crop Weeds Controlled Rate per Hectare Rate for Gun Application Critical Comments
Pasture Barley grass 4 liters/ha in 200 – 400 liters water per ha 400 ml/100 liters water Apply after main germination, usually from April to July. Evenly grazed pasture 3 - 5cm high will help achieve optimum results. Raw organic matter will reduce effectiveness on stock camps. Temporary suppression of white clover will occur
Redbeet – beetroot   Pre-emergence: 3 - 4 liters/ha in 200 – 300 liters water per ha Post-emergence: 4 liters/ha in 200 - 300 liters water per ha   Apply before weed emergence and before or as soon as possible after drilling. The seedbed needs to be fine, firm and moist. Use the higher rate over dry and cloddy soil and incorporate to 3 - 5 cm. Apply to weeds at the cotyledon to 2 leaf stage.
Fodder Beet   Pre-sowing and Pre-emergence: 2 liters/ha in 200-300 liters of water Post-emergence: 2 liters/ha in 200-300 liters of water   Apply before crop or weed emergence and before or as soon as possible after drilling. The seedbed needs to be fine, firm and moist. If moisture is limited, shallow (2-5cm) incorporation of pre-sowing treatment may be preferred. Make two applications in combination with 1.5 L/ha of Beetall™ PD after the crop has 2 true leaves fully developed. Apply first spray when the weeds are at cotyledon to 2 true leaf stage. Apply the second spray 10 – 14 days later.
Sugar Beet   Pre-emergence: 2-3 liters/ha in 200 - 300 liters water per ha Post-emergence: 2 liters/ha in 200-300 liters of water   Apply before crop or weed emergence and as soon as possible after drilling. The seedbed needs to be fine, firm and moist. Use the highest rate where moisture is limited or the seedbed is less than ideal. Make two applications in combination with 1.5 L/ha of Beetall™ PD after the crop has 2 true leaves fully developed. Apply first spray when the weeds are at cotyledon to 2 true leaf stage. Apply the second spray 10 – 14 days later.
Turf – ryegrass (do not apply to fine turf species) Annual poa Summer, barnyard and bristle grasses 4 liters/ha in 200 – 400 liters water per ha 400 ml/100 liters water Treat the same as for barley grass. Delay mowing for 4 - 5 days after spraying. Apply just before weed emergence in September – October. After 6 - 8 weeks a repeat treatment maybe necessary. Oversow with ryegrass immediately if turf contains less than 5% ryegrass.
