Directions for use when using Asulox for Bracken Control
Treatment Information
Apply on a dry day. Bracken should be treated in full frond (all fronds fully expanded) but before yellowing (start of senescence). Normally this will be within the period from early July to late August (early August in Northern Britain). Senescence begins with the fronds turning a darker green, becoming glossy and hard to the touch, with subsequent bronzing. Herbicidal symptoms are virtually absent in the year of spraying but in the following season there is little or no frond re-growth.
Follow up treatments:
Owing to the nature of bracken growth and the difficulty of spraying sheltered or uneven terrain, 100% control is rarely achieved. Any bracken surviving should be sprayed as soon as it recovers to full green frond. This may be the year following the initial application but more likely the second year following initial application. If a programme of follow-up sprays is undertaken the bracken-free period will be greatly extended.
If no follow-up treatment or land improvement programme is carride out, respraying may be necessary within 5 years
Restrictions
The fronds must not be damaged by livestock, frost or by cutting before treatment. Do not treat bracken affected by late frosts (bronzed and stunted fronds).
At least 6 weeks should elapse between applying Asulox and sowing or planting any subsequent crop.
Do not cut the bracken or admit livestock for at least 14 days after spraying and preferably leave it undisturbed until late autumn. This is to allow adequate translocation of Asulox within the bracken plant.
Only one application should be made per crop/situation per year.
Directions for use when using Asulox for Dock
To treat Dock apply at 2.8-4.2 litres per Ha (100mls/20litres)
Ragwort may become more palatable to grazing livestock, therefore, livestock must be denied access to the treated areas for at least 4 to 6 weeks or until the ragwort has died and become unpalatable.
Do not treat docks during the winter months, i.e October to March inclusive; do not treat once the flowering stem starts to emerge or at the flowering stage.
The action of Asulox against docks is relatively slow. Herbicidal symptoms are yellowing of the leaves and any re-growth will appear red and distorted. Normally these symptoms do not appear until 3 weeks after treatment, the full effect may not become apparent until 6 months after treatment.
If over-grazing or poaching takes place after treatment, heavy infestations of dock seedlings can occur. They will be susceptible to Asulox.
Do not treat grassland or leys in the year of establishment
Weeds Controlled
For best results treat when the plants are actively growing and in full leaf but before any signs of emergence of flower stems. This is normally between April and September. If the flower stems have emerged, mow them off and treat the leafy regrowth. If cutting, grazing or poaching has taken place, the docks must be allowed to recover adequate foliage before applying Asulox. In any event do not apply Asuloxwithin three weeks of cutting to give time for the docks to recover and to avoid sward
damage from applications made too soon after a cut.
Do not graze or mow for at least one week after application to allow time for the Asuloxto be translocated within the docks.
For light or recently established infestations, one application of Asulox should be sufficient. For heavy or long established infestations two applications, at least ten months apart, are recommended. Always carry out any second treatment in the season following the initial application.
Hay Fields: DO NOT USE ASULOX BEFORE MOWING FOR HAY
Only one application should be made per crop/situation each year.
