Product Description

Florasulam is a post-emergence herbicide for the control of broadleaf weeds in cereals. It can be applied from the 4th leaf stage of wheat until the flag leaf stage but Dow recommends that it is applied from the end of tillering until the ear measures 1 cm (crop ****0 cm tall). The company notes that the control of Galium aparine is not diminished by late application. Dow reports the product is active over a wider temperature range than competitors and is ideally positioned for late winter / early spring treatments when temperatures begin to exceed 5°C. Florasulam can be tank-mixed with other herbicides, with fungicides and with liquid fertilisers. In field trials, Dow has demonstrated that application rates can be reduced when the herbicide is tank-mixed with liquid fertilisers.
