Cheetah®

TNVV

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

WORKS IN DAYS, NOT WEEKS

• Fast, effective, non-selective control of tough-to-control grass, sedge, and broadleaf weeds
• Best alternative to glyphosate, offering broad-spectrum weed control
• Directed sprays provide excellent weed control and crop safety in orchards and vineyards
• Expanded glufosinate uses in horticultural market; soon fruit, pome fruit, citrus, and olives
• More consistent control than Gramoxone® on glyphosate-resistant weeds with no special handling restrictions
• For extended residual control, tank mix Cheetah with Tuscany™ and stay weed-free
• Tuscany is Nufarm’s formulation of flumioxazin

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

WORKS IN DAYS, NOT WEEKS

• The only non-selective alternative to glyphosate for over-the-top use
• Allows growers to rotate non-selective herbicides across multiple crops
• Non-selective, post-emergence control of broadleaf and grass weeds, including weeds resistant to glyphosate and multiple herbicide classes
• Fast control, kills weeds in days, minimizing weed competition for maximum yield
• Compared to competitive HT systems, Cheetah offers:
  • Lower volatility and reduced sprayer cleanout concerns
  • Mitigates significant drift issues, contamination risks or buffer requirements
• Rainfast in four hours

GLUFOSINATE TOLERANCE OF SEEDS

• Contact the seed manufacturer or seed distributor to determine if the seed variety is designated and supported as glufosinate tolerant

 

USE SUMMARY

USE RATES: LIBERTYLINK AND GLUFOSINATE TOLERANT* CROPS

* GLUFOSINATE TOLERANCE OF SEEDS: Contact the seed manufacturer or seed distributor to determine if the seed variety is designated and supported as glufosinate tolerant.

USE RATES: CONVENTIONAL AND NON-LIBERTYLINK CROPS

* Post application in non-LibertyLink cotton can ONLY be applied with a hooded sprayer. See product label.

Apply for burndown of existing weeds just prior to planting or prior to crop emergence.
Residual herbicides applied at burndown helps ensure optimal control, particularly if environmental conditions delay a timely post Cheetah application.
Cheetah alone controls marestails, ragweeds, and Palmer amaranth however may not provide adequate control of all weeds typically found in no-till burndown situations.
Apply in combination of 2,4-D esters and/or Panther® SC (flumioxazin), Credit® Xtreme (glyphosate), metribuzin or atrazine. A tankmix of Cheetah and glyphosate may result in reduced grass control.
Check with your chemical retailer or university extension for localized adjuvant and tankmix recommendations to enhance control if needed.

CHEETAH HERBICIDE PROGRAMS FOR GLUFOSINATE TOLERANT CROPS

CHEETAH ON INVIGOR CANOLA

Cheetah herbicide should be applied as follows at 22 fl oz/A:

• Apply over the top of InVigor® canola when weeds are no more than 3 to 4” tall
• A second application can be made a minimum of 10 days later to address new weed pressure, with a season maximum of 44 fl oz/A

Apply AMS at 1.5 lb/A to 3 lb/A. For additional grass control a Group 1 herbicide can be tank mixed at labeled rates provided they are labeled for the timing and application.

CHEETAH COMPARISON TO GLYPHOSATE

While Cheetah (glufosinate-ammonium) and glyphosate are both non-selective herbicides, the active ingredients are different. Cheetah is a contact herbicide and thus requires greater coverage than glyphosate, which has systemic activity. 

 

USE SUMMARY FOR NON-CROPLAND SITES

SPOT OR DIRECT SPRAY APPLICATION: mix 0.5 to 2.0 fl. oz of Cheetah per gallon of water and apply 1 gallon of spray solution to 1,000 square feet to actively growing weeds. Larger weeds will require higher use rates (see table below).

BROADCAST APPLICATION: Apply 24 – 82 fl oz/A in ground equipment delivering 20 gpa or greater.

Additives: In addition to AMS, the use of nonionic surfactant at 0.25% or MSO at 1% may be used to aid control of difficult weeds.

MAXIMUM RATE – ANNUAL: DO NOT apply more than 164 fluid ounces of Cheetah per acre (3 lbs ai/A) in a 12 month period. 

MAXIMUM RATE – SINGLE APPLICATION: Do not apply more than 82 fl oz/A per single application (1.5 lb ai/A/application).

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS PER YEAR: Do not make more than 2 applications at a maximum application rate of 82 fluid ounces per acre (1.5 lbs ai/A) per application.

MINIMUM RE-TREATMENT INTERVAL: 5 days.

APPLICATION RESTRICTIONS

• Uniform, thorough spray coverage is necessary to achieve consistent weed control
• Rainfast 4 hours after application to most weed species
• Weed control may be reduced if application is made when heavy dew, fog, and mist/rain are present or when weeds are under stress due to environmental conditions such as drought, cool temperatures, or extended periods of cloudiness
• Plants may be safely planted into treated areas after spray has dried
• If hard water is a concern, consider adding AMS at 1.5-3.0 lbs/A
• Do not apply Cheetah as an over-the-top broadcast spray to desirable conifer or hardwood plantings. Seedling conifer and hardwood trees may be planted into the treated area after the restricted entry interval (REI) of 12 hours has elapsed.

USE RESTRICTIONS

• Do not apply within any enclosed structure
• Do not apply as a broadcast application to ornamentals, or allow spray to contact or drift onto the foliage, green stems, exposed roots or fruit of desirable plants
