Hazard to fish or other aquatic life Dangerous to fish or other aquatic life18. Livestock restriction Not applicableBenefits over IPU:• More active than IPU against Rye-grass and wild oats.• Less mobile in the soil meaning increased persistence and a lower risk of water contamination.• Can be used pre-emergence.Timing:• Alpha Chlortoluron 500 can be applied pre- and post-emergence in the autumn.Key recommendation:• Chlorotoluron should be used as the key post-emergence active ingredient in any Rye-grass herbicidestrategy.• Not all varieties of winter wheat and barley can be safely treated post-emergence with AlphaChlortoluron 500. A full list of crop vareities is regularly updated and can be found at www.mauk.co.uk.Best use hints:• Use when the weeds are between 1 – 3 leaves and are actively growing• For Rye-grass control, use in a herbicide programme which incorporates both pre- and post-emergenceapplications.Tank Mixes Supported:• Makhteshim-Agan will support two-way mixes of Alpha Chlortoluron 500 with any one of the following:HerbicdesInsecticides2,4-DAdvanceAllyAlpha Briotril Plus19/19Alpha Briotril 24/16Alpha Trifluralin48ECAssetAvenge 2BacaraBoleroCheetah SuperCMPPCompetitorDaggerEagleEncoreGrasp + OutputHawk + oilIngotIsoproturon + DFFJavelinJoltMCPAMecopropOxytril CMStarane 2StompSwipe 560ECTomahawkTopik + oilTreflanTrumpAmbushCypermethrinDecisFuryHallmarkHeroMavrikPyrethroidsSumi-AlphaNote: When mixing Alpha Chlortoluron 500 with graminicide + oil, the total dose of chlorotoluron must notexceed 1400g ai per ha.

USE PESTICIDES SAFELY.RYE-GRASS CONTROL STRATEGIESAlpha Chlortoluron 500 is ideal for inclusion in an integrated programme for Rye-grass control due to its highactivity against Rye-grass, a low cost-in-use and a wide range of tolerant varieties.Chemical Control StrategiesThe following chart summarises the data from a range of trials across a variety of resistant populations. Thedata clearly indicates the need for a pre-emergence treatment and the clear benefit of applying chlorotoluronearly post-emergence (1-3 leaves of the crop).% Control1009080706050403020100AveragePre-em Terbutryne follow ed by full rateCTU 500Pre-em Crystal follow ed by full rate CTU500Reduced rate CTU 500 (1-3 leaves)Full rate CTU 500 (1-3 leaves)Reduced rate CTU 500 + trifluralin (1-3leaves)Reduced rate CTU 500 + Stomp (1-3leaves)Tigress (1-3 leaves)Grasp (1-3 leaves)IPU (1-3 leaves)Source: 5 resistant populations provided courtesy of Stephen Moss, Rothamsted.The table below helps position a chemical approach for Rye-grass control in winter wheat.Weed Spectrum Pre-emergence Early post cropemergence (1-3leaves)Resistant Rye-grass3 - 5 L/ha Terbutryneor Crystalor Trifluralin7 L/ha CTU 500+ Trifluralinor Pendimethalinor Flurtamone**Susceptible Rye-grass - 7 L/ha CTU 500+ Trifluralinor Pendimethalinor Flurtamone**Late post cropemergence (3+leaves)+/-GRASP* + Output+/-GRASP* + Output* Enhanced metabolic resistance only (tested susceptible to tralkoxydim)** up to a maximum of 2500g of chlorotoluron with 2L/ha IngotN.B if Black-grass present use chlorotoluron in sequence with Lexus. Please consult tank mix guide formixtures with HAWK & GRASP.Integrated Control of GrassweedsWith the escalating occurrence of resistant grassweeds there are populations of Black-grass and Rye-grassthat cannot be controlled, even with all the existing products available to us. Grass weed control now has toincorporate other techniques as well as herbicide usage. A detailed account of these techniques and ananti-resistant strategy for Rye-grass can be found at www.mauk.co.ukAlpha Chlortoluron 500 contains chlorotoluron.
