Undersown Cereals
For cereals undersown with grass. DO NOT spray with DEPITOX 500 before undersowing. Experience has
shown that when weeds and cereals form a canopy undersown crops may be safely treated using not more
than 1.0 litre per hectare at low volume.
Grassland (non-amenity uses)
Do not treat where clovers or other legumes are an important part of the sward. Grassland may be treated
with 2.8‑3.3 litres per hectare of DEPITOX 500 according to the weeds present. Recommended rates are
given in the weed susceptibility table for grassland. Clovers will receive a check. Top dressing ten days
before treatment is recommended to assist kill of weeds and subsequent recovery of the sward.
Amenity Grassland and Managed Amenity Turf
Amenity grassland and managed amenity turf may be treated with 2.8-3.3 litres per hectare of DEPITOX
500. The expected levels of control are detailed in the weed susceptibility table for amenity uses. Clovers
will receive a check. Top dressing ten days before treatment is recommended to assist kill of weeds and
subsequent recovery of the sward.
TIME OF APPLICATION
Spray weeds when the crop is actively growing. In general annual weeds are more susceptible at the
seedling stage and perennials when the flower bud is forming. Timing of cereal spray must be determined by
the stage of the crop growth.
Winter cereals
Spray in the spring from the leaf sheaf erect stage but before the first node detectable stage.
Spring cereals
Spray from the five-leaf fully expanded stage but before the first node detectable stage.
Grassland, Amenity Grassland and Managed Amenity Turf
Spray perennial weeds during their period of maximum growth, usually when the flower buds are beginning
to form. The responses of perennial weeds to treatments are variable often only the aerial parts are killed but
suppression may also occur. The recovery of weeds will be reduced if the crop is growing vigorously at the
time of treatment. A maximum of 3 applications per year are permitted. There must be an interval of at least
28 days between separate DEPITOX 500 treatments.
Resistance Management
When herbicides with the same mode of action are used repeatedly over several years in the same field,
selection of resistant biotypes can take place. These can propagate and may become dominating. A
weed species is considered to be resistant to a herbicide if it survives a correctly applied treatment at the
recommended dose. A strategy for preventing and managing such resistance should be adopted. This
should include integrating herbicides with a programme of cultural control measures. Guidelines have
been produced by the Weed Resistance Action Group and copies are available from the HGCA, CPA, your
distributor, crop adviser or product manufacturer.
