Picona®
Picona® is a herbicide with residual and contact activity for the control of meadow grasses and broad leaved weeds in winter and spring wheat, winter and spring barley, rye and triticale.
Early spring weed tidy-up in winter cereals
Key messages:
- Apply remaining grassweed treatments early to finish the program and gain optimum control.
- Partner Picona® or Stomp® Aqua with early applications of graminicides such as Atlantis, Hamlet, Monolith, Broadway Star, etc to gain: improved efficacy, wider broad-leaved weed control, top up on residual activity
Even with good cultural controls and pre-emergence herbicides in place, it is essential to keep the pressure on black-grass coming out of the winter to maximise control and increase yield potential. Any remaining post-emergence herbicides should be applied as soon as conditions are suitable with the most effective residual partners.
For best results:
- Ideally apply in tank mixtures with graminicides before the end of February as soon as weeds begin to actively grow.
- Do not apply graminicides to stressed or ‘soft’ crops.
- Consider resistance status of the grassweeds when selecting appropriate actives/product.
Picona® (pendimethalin + picolinafen) is an ideal contact and residual partner for post emergence graminicides coming out of winter.
- Applying a total of 2,000 g/ha pendimethalin from both pre and post emergence sprays provides the maximum amount of residual activity of any black-grass that is yet to germinate.
- Picolinafen provides useful contact activity that boosts the black-grass control from the partner graminicide.
- Pendimethalin and picolinafen are key components of annual meadowgrass and broad-leaved weed control.
