Benefits of Fumate

Controls annual grass weeds and some broadleaf weeds in beets, pasture and turf/perennial ryegrass

Used in pasture to control barley grass during the winter

Important element of a weed control programme in fodder beets

Fumate is the best and most cost effective way of controlling poa annual in turf crops.

Fumate is also the main chemical used to control barley grass in perennial pastures due to its safety on the perennial species with minimal clover checking.

Fumate is active in the soil for up to 10 weeks after application.

Fumate has the added advantage of controlling a range of broadleaf weeds and can be applied by boom spray or hand gun. Hand gun may be the best method of application for patchy barley grass situations.

Application rates and usage

Fumate Label
Agrochemicals - NZ

Application

Application rates do vary from crop to crop depending on the weed spectrum present. Always read the label or refer to your Ravensdown Agrochemical Territory Manager. Never mix a surfactant of any type with Fumate as crop injury may result.

Mode of action

Absorbed by the emerging shoot of grass weeds and by roots of broadleaf weeds soon after germination. Post-emergence applications are taken into the plant initially through foliage and later via the roots.

Storage and handling

Keep out of reach of children.

Store in accordance with NZS 8409 Management of Agrichemicals.

Store in original container tightly closed in a locked, dry, cool area away from foodstuffs, fertilizers and seeds.

Please refer to the product label for product handling and storage details.

Shelf life

When stored appropriately this product should show no significant degradation for two years from the date of manufacture. Please contact your Ravensdown Account Manager, or the Customer Centre on 0800 100 123, for further information about the use of any product that is older than this.

Mixing and compatability

Half fill the spray tank with water then add Fumate with constant agitation. Maintain agitation continuously while applying. When mixing with other chemicals add the Fumate first.

May be tank mixed with products containing phenmedipham and desmedipham. Mixing with phenoxy herbicides for use on pasture is not recommended.
