- Improved spraying efficiency: The 150 L/ha water rate allows more hectares to be treated per tank fill, reducing refill stops and helping improve application productivity.
- Coverage maintained at lower water volume: Flume reduces surface tension so medium droplets spread across waxy leaf surfaces, supporting the coverage required from a contact herbicide.
- Proven New Zealand performance: Across six New Zealand trials, the 150 L/ha programme delivered very similar primary target weed reduction to Dictate 480 applied in 300 L water/ha.
- Valuable Group 6 weed-control option: Provides a different mode of action for broadleaf weed programmes, including control of flumetsulam-tolerant chickweed in established pasture.
Active Ingredient: 480g/L Bentazone
Formulation: Soluble concentrate
What is Dictate 480?
Dictate 480 is a selective contact herbicide which works by inhibiting the weeds ability to produce nutrients as it impedes the photosynthesis process.
Soil Residues
Nil. Dictate 480 is not active in the soil and provides no residual activity therefore weeds must have germinated prior to application
Compatibility
Dictate is compatible with Nufarm MCPB 400, Thistrol Plus, Agritone 750, Contact Xcel and Flume.
Please refer to the label for directions on tank-mix partners in specific crops.
Withholding/Non Grazing Periods
Pasture (grasses or mixed swards with clover and/or plantain), plantain or plantain/clover swards – do not graze or use for animal feed within 14 days of spraying.
Rainfast Period
Rain or irrigation within 8 hours of application may reduce effectiveness.
Note
Dictate 480 is a selective contact herbicide which must be applied in sufficient water to ensure that all parts of the target weeds are thoroughly covered. Use high water rates (at least the minimum specified label rate).
