Physical Description:
Contains 480 grams/litre dicamba as the dimethylamine salt in the form of a soluble concentrate.
Uses:
Dicam 480 is a post emergence, selective herbicide for control of certain hard to kill broadleaf weeds in cereals, some forage brassicas, maize, pasture and non cropped areas. Dicam 480 can also be used to control clovers in conservation tillage programmes. Dicam 480 also controls a broad spectrum of broad leaved weeds in maize and is used as a post-emergence treatment after weed and crop emergence.
Benefits:
-
Dicam 480 is active against many broadleaf weeds and is particularly useful in improving the activity of phenoxy herbicides such as Pasture Guard MCPA, and Pasture Guard 2,4-D.
-
Dicam 480 can be tank mixed with Glyphosate 360 to improve control of white clover and certain other broadleaf weeds. Can be used as an economic solution in direct drilling situations when planting brassicas, cereals and grasses.
Application:
-
Dicam 480 is compatible with most other commonly used herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides including Pasture Guard MCPA, Pasture Guard 2,4-D and Glyphosate 360. Dicam 480 is taken into the plant by foliage and roots and translocated to growing points where it accumulates to affect cell division and enlargement. So is best applied during periods of active growth. Refer to label for rates on specific crops.
Withholding Period:
Do not spray undersown crops, pastures, peas, Lucerne, grapes and ornamentals or where their roots might extend.
- Stock: Do not graze treated areas or feed treated crops of threshings to livestock for two weeks after application. Poisonous plants may become more palatable after spraying, do not graze treated areas until the plants have died down.
- Plant Back Periods: Dicam 480 injures clover and re-establishment of clover in pasture may be difficult for up to two months after spraying. Do not sow legume crops (clover, peas, lupins, Lucerne) within 28 days of applying Dicam 480. Grass, cereals, maize and brassica crops do not require any plant back period.
Storage & Handling:
When stored appropriately this product should show no significant degradation for two years from the date of manufacture.
Environmental Fate:
Dicam 480 has a soil residual life of up to 28 days. Do not plant clovers or legumes within 28 days of application.
Additional Information:
Rain within 6 hours following treatment may reduce the effectiveness. Do not use outside the recommended growth stages as crop damage may result. Do not spray when weeds are wet with dew or rain or under stress from drought, extreme cold or water logging.
