Herbicides Mission 200SL Troy 480 Herbicides

Troy 480 MAPP No 12341

TROY 480 is a post‑emergence contact herbicide for the control of broadleaved weeds. It is absorbed mainly by the foliage, with very little translocation. It is also absorbed by the root with translocation in the xylem providing control of broadleaved weeds in crop and horticultural situations. Classified by the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) as mode of action code C3.

Product ProfileBrand Troy 480MAPP number 12341Active ingredient 480g/l bentazoneFormulation Soluble ConcentrateActivity ContactMaximum individual dose 3 litres/haMaximum total dose 3 litres/ha per yearMaximum number of treatments 2Latest time of application Before shoots exceed 15cm in heightOther restrictions Do not use on seed crops or first earlies, do not apply following a

(spring), field bean (winter), linseed, ornamental plant production, runner bean, vining pea (See label for details at www.upleurope.com)

Key information about Troy 480• Can be used on any soil type, it has no residual soil activity.• Best weed control is achieved when weeds are small.• A good option for controlling cleavers and volunteer OSR.• Unsatisfactory weed control may result if applications are made in periods of drought or cold weather.• Troy 480 is a contact acting herbicide so good spray cover is essential and high pressure should be used to

produce a fine penetrating spray.• Avoid applying to crops which have suffered damage and stress.• Do not spray at temperatures above 21°C, spraying should be delayed until the evening.• Do not apply insecticides within 7 days of treatment with Troy 480.• Leave an interval of at least 7 days before applying post-emergence grass herbicides

and 14 days after.• 6 hours rain free period required.• Consult processor before using on crops for processing.

Weed Control Weeds controlled are chickweed, cleavers, knotgrass and annual nettle. Diquat is usually mixed with a residual herbicide such as Datura (linuron) and metribuzin, add an alcohol ethoxylate adjuvant e.g. Activator 90 in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Note that an adjuvant is not recommended with all products.

Inter-row spraying for weed controlApplication of MISSION 200SL after the crop has emerged should be made using a spray guard to avoid contact with the crop foliage. Best results are achieved when MISSION 200SL is applied to seedling weeds. Common fumitory and knotgrass should be treated at the first true leaf stage, cleavers when two whorls or leaves are present and wild oats and volunteer cereals from the two-leaf stage. Only 1 inter-row application is allowed with a maximum individual dose of 2.0 litres/ha.

Insecticides Toppel 100 CIPC (chlorpropham) Sprout Suppressants

CIPC (chlorpropham)

Chlorpropham (or CIPC) is isopropyl‑N‑(3‑chlorophenyl) carbamate, and is widely used as a sprout suppressing agrochemical applied to stored potatoes. It works by interfering with cell division to inhibit sprout development.

CIPC has been available for over fifty years and was in place even before refrigeration/temperature controlled storage was an option to growers. It is currently applied to approximately half of the stored potato crop in GB.

The Potato Industry CIPC Stewardship Group (PICSG) The use of CIPC is now subject to a stewardship process which is operated by the Potato Industry CIPC Stewardship Group. As part of this process, the Stewardship Group has produced a five point Action Plan to strengthen best practice and advocate additional controls on the use of CIPC - to avoid future exceedances of the Maximum Residue Level (MRL).

PICSG is a collaboration between key industry organisations including UPL that have come together to promote the stewardship of CIPC. Further information about CIPC and the Stewardship Group including the Action Plan can be found at www.cipccompliant.co.uk.

New label rates published for CIPC New application rates for CIPC have been approved by CRD. The changes were requested by Approval Holders as part of the CIPC stewardship process. For 2014, the total dose applied may not exceed 30 g/tonne and 58 g/tonne for fresh and processing potatoes (including fish & chip shop supplies) respectively. The maximum individual dose is 18 g/tonne and the harvest interval is now 14 days. These are statutory changes.

Key Requirements

Total dose Fresh market: 30 grams/tonne. But, in addition, where storage temperature is to be 5°C or below, only a single application should be made, before temperature is reduced below 7°C. Processing (incl. fish & chip shops): 58 grams/tonne.

Maximum dose The maximum individual dose is 18 grams/tonne.

Harvest interval The latest time of application is 14 days before removal from store for sale or processing.

Equipment Equipment must be inspected and certified annually by NSTS.

Personnel Applicators must be qualified to NPTC PA1, PA9 and be members of the NAAC CIPC Applicators’ Group.

Advisors Recommendations for CIPC must be made by BASIS qualified advisors.

Stores Stores must be inspected and reported as fit for CIPC application using the PICSG Store Checklist.

Responsibility Overall responsibility for CIPC use lies with the crop owner – not the store manager or the CIPC applicator.

Best use advice from Sutton Bridge Crop Storage

1. Don’t make the first application too late. Ideal time is before the ‘eyes open’ stage. If sprouting has started when the first application is made, rates will likely need increasing as you play catch-up. In long-term stores, the crop could then easily reach maximum total dose before it is due to be unloaded.

2. Plan CIPC programmes as the store is filled and book contractors in advance. Crops stored for processing should have been cured and be ready for first application after just two or three weeks. Forget the six week adage - in processing crops dormancy may well have broken by then.

3. Don’t delay first application until temperature pull down is complete, especially in ambient stores. It is more important to apply CIPC to a dormant crop than a cool crop. Delaying may increase application rates.

4. Check crop condition regularly through the season and prepare well in advance for following applications.

Three Golden Rules for CIPC best practice

1. Timing – Don’t delay, always apply first application before ‘eyes open’ stage.

2. Dry, clean crop – Remove as much mud as possible and ensure crop is dry before applying CIPC.

3. Airflow – Stack or load store to ensure an even distribution of fog. In bulk stores, low speed recirculation improves distribution and reduces CIPC requirement.
