* Minimum tillage treatments must be applied to fields with at least 2 percent organic matter.
** Minimum tillage treatments must be applied 10 to 14 days before seeding or incorporating. For minimum tillage
treatments on spring and durum wheat, apply 5.7 kg per acre on soils with 4% organic matter or less and 6.9 kg per
acre on soils with greater than 4 percent organic matter.
*** DO NOT apply this product before seeding wheat in soils with 4% or less organic matter (brown, dark brown or grey
wooded soils) where discers are to be used for seeding. If an air seeder is to be used, it must be equipped with a depth
control device to ensure accurate seed placement, otherwise crop injury may occur.

Weed Control
• Seedling Forage Legumes (under-seeded only):
º Apply recommended rates for the companion crop.
º Alfalfa
º Bird’s-foot trefoil
º Clover (alsike, red, sweet)
Weeds and Staging:
For pre-emergent control of wild oats.
Application Information:
• Water Volume (Avadex Liquid EC only): 45 L per acre.
• Nozzles and Pressure (Avadex Liquid EC only): maximum 30 psi (200 kPa) when using conventional flat fan nozzles.
Use a combination of nozzles and pressure designed to deliver thorough, even coverage of ASABE medium droplets
• Direct Seeding Systems (minimum tillage systems)
º Avadex MicroActiv herbicide may be applied in the fall or spring into standing stubble. If excessive crop residue
exists at the time of application, a vigorous harrowing prior to application can be used to ensure that the herbicide
granules make adequate contact with the soil. Under zero-till conditions it is recommended incorporation be
conducted with suitable implement such as heavy harrow that allows for shallow incorporation while maintaining
a uniform concentrated layer that provides adequate wild oat control.
º Low disturbance seeding systems will not disturb the soil enough to control emerged weeds; therefore, a preseeding
burnoff treatment using a herbicide such as glyphosate may be necessary. Ensure that cereals are seeded
at least 1.25 cm (1/2 inch) below the treated layer.
