Crop spraying should be carried out in the weed cotyledon phase, and subsequent treatments - with an interval of 7-10 days.

Principle of operation:
It has a contact and soil effect. Phenmedifam and desmedifam penetrate into the plant through the leaf apparatus, block the process of photosynthesis. Etofumesate is absorbed by the shoots of monocotyledons during germination and absorbed by the roots of dicotyledons, inhibits the growth of the meristem, slows down cell division and limits the formation of the waxy cuticle.

Application features:
To control a wide range of weeds, it is advisable to use in tank mixtures with preparations:

Goal (metamitron, 700 g/l);
Stefodim (klethodim, 240 g/l);
Steftrel (clopyralid, 300 g/l).
In case of heavy weediness and intensive weed germination, the periods between applications should be shortened to 6-7 days;
Incompatible with alkaline substances.

Compatible with drugs produced by DDE FARM AG. When using with drugs from other manufacturers, it is necessary to conduct a preliminary check on the compatibility of the components and the phytotoxicity of the mixture.

Regulations of application:
Sunny, warm weather and the presence of available moisture in the soil helps to increase the effectiveness of the action on weeds. The drug cannot be used on hot days with strong solar radiation or when there is a danger of night frosts, as well as in crops of sick or weakened plants, as beetroot damage is possible!

It is recommended to carry out spraying at temperatures from + 12 to + 25 ºС using ground equipment in the morning (before 10) and evening (after 18) hours with minimal air flows. Air speed during fine-droplet spraying should not exceed 3 m/s, with large-droplet spraying - 4 m/s. Do not spray on plants wet from rain or dew, or if precipitation is expected within the next 6 hours.
