About Avocet®
Benefits
- Has a wide window of application up to GS32 inclusive.
- Suitable for early spring control of wild oats (GS11-32 (optimal up to GS29)) where:
- Control was missed in the autumn
- A pre-emergence product was not applied or was ineffective
- Grass weeds have germinated in the spring
- Suitable for control of spring germinating bromes - meadow, soft and rye brome (GS11-24).
- Optimally following an effective pre-emergence.
- No cultivation restrictions prior to sowing following crops:
- Autumn: Winter cereals, oilseed rape, grass, winter beans, brassica plants as transplants
- Spring: Spring wheat, spring barley, spring oats, triticale, rye, spring oilseed rape, sugar beet, potatoes, grass, clover (as part of a grass/clover ley), beans, peas, maize, linseed.
Best Use Advice
- Apply during periods of active growth.
- Apply Avocet at 250 g/ha with Kantor adjuvant.
- Ryegrass (from seed), sterile and great brome control is best achieved in the autumn – Apply Avocet in a programme following an effective pre-emergence herbicide, in tank-mix with a residual partner when the ryegrass is between GS11-29 or the brome is between GS11-24 (optimal GS11-13) and actively growing.
- Apply during periods of active growth, avoiding periods of frost and large diurnal temperature fluctuations.
- For optimal grass weed control, use as part of a programme and follow WRAG guidelines.
- To avoid subsequent injury to crops other than wheat, rye and triticale, spray equipment used for Avocet applications should be thoroughly cleaned with All Clear Extra.
