How to... Give OSR crops the best start with Caryx
Optimum Timing
- Monitoring – A crop that has the potential for canopy height to be > 25cm by the end of autumn growth will benefit from an Autumn/Spring sequence of Caryx.
- Application Timing – Spray when the crop is between 4-6 leaves in September/October to maximise the benefit of Caryx.
Tips on Spraying
- Spray quality - A medium spray will provide adequate coverage
- Rainfastness – Allow a minimum of 30 minutes to ensure Caryx is fully rainfast.
- Water Rate – 150-200 Litres of water/Ha will provide good coverage depending on the crop canopy. Remember: If spraying in less than 150 litres of water, the Caryx dose must be reduced in accordance to the label to maintain the maximum concentration eg. Caryx at 1.0l/ha, the minimum water volume = 107 litres of water
- Speed – Maximum tractor speed of 16 Kph
- Calibration – Ensure your sprayer is correctly calibrated before spraying commences
