Pradera 5 Litre

• Tank mix Pradera with up to 1.25 l/ha of Hurler to provide improved control of docks in high density situations
• Tank mix Pradera with up to 1.3 l/ha of MCPA. 500 g/l to provide improved control of a range of grassland weeds, including rush and plantains
• Tank mixes have been checked for compatibility; impact on grass yields and grass health have not been measured
• Only cereals and grass can be sown following an application of Pradera to the previous crop
• The recommended water volume is 200–400 l/ha
• Use the higher water rate in dense swards

 Summary

• Apply 3 l/ha.
• Use higher water volume in high density swards to ensure full coverage.
• Apply when weeds are at correct growth stage and actively growing.
• Active growth Pradera® is a translocated herbicide taken up by the leaves of weeds.
• It is essential that the target weeds have fully emerged before application and that good spray cover of the weed foliage is achieved.
• Weeds which emerge after application will not be controlled.

Weed growth stage

• The weed growth stage at the time of application will have an impact on the performance of Pradera®.
• Optimum application timing for Docks (Rosette stage), thistles (Rosette stage) and buttercups (during active growth just before flowering) is particularly important.

Clover Safety

• Clover present in the sward will be killed.
• Don’t use if clover is an important constituent of the sward.

Noxious weeds:

• Weeds poisonous to livestock, such as ragwort, represent a major threat.
• Check for poisonous weeds before treatment.
• When these weeds die, they become sweet and palatable, but they are still highly toxic to stock.
• Noxious weeds must be removed from the field or left to become unpalatable before stock is returned.
