Pradera is a three-component herbicide blend which targets a broad range of troublesome weeds in grassland environments. To ensure optimal effectiveness, it is critical that the weeds are completely emerged prior to application, and that the spray is distributed evenly across the weed foliage.
Hurler:
Tank mix Pradera with up to 1.25 l/ha of Hurler to provide improved control of docks in high density situations.
MCPA 500 g/l:
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:
Tank mixes have been checked for compatibility; impact on grass yields and grass health have not been measured.
Residues:
Only cereals and grass can be sown following an application of Pradera to the previous crop.
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.
Water volume:
The recommended water volume is 200–400 l/ha.
Use the higher water rate in dense swards.
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.
