A new standard of pre-emergent weed control in canolaButisan® introduces a new Group K mode of action with no known resistance into canola. As well as providing a higher level of pre-emergent weed control than was previously available, Butisan can give growers extra � exibility in setting both crop and herbicide rotations.

When and how to use Butisan

Rates Annual ryegrass 1.5 – 1.8 L/ha Wild oats & wireweed 1.8 L/ha

• Always use robust label rates.• Use the higher annual ryegrass rate when conditions are not optimal or where a

heavy grass weed population is expected.

Method

By conventional boom sprayer, using a spray volume of 80–250 L/ha.

Ensure complete and even spray coverage of the soil.

Poor spray coverage may result from ridged or excessively cloddy soil or over 50% stubble, plant residue or other ground cover.

Timing

As close as possible to sowing and no more than 3 days earlier.

Incorporation

Incorporation by sowing (IBS) using knife points and press wheels.

Incorporation by rainfall within 10 days of application is recommended for maximum effi cacy.

The length of residual control will vary with the application rate, levels of soil moisture and rainfall after sowing.

The IBS process moves Butisan out of the planting furrow. Subsequent moisture activation normally moves Butisan back into it, providing superior in-furrow weed control compared to commercial standards.

Resistance managementAlways rotate between different mode of action groups as part of an integrated weed management (IWM) approach. Butisan can be followed with in-crop applications of atrazine, glyphosate, clethodim or Intervix®. Such rotation of different mode of action herbicides incorporated into an overall integrated weed management program reduces escapes and overall weed seed burdens leading into the next season.
