Description

Sledge Herbicide

Active Ingredient: Pyraflufen-Ethyl @ 25g/L

Sledge herbicide is a Group G spike for Glyphosate to improve brownout of hard to kill broadleaf & grass weeds. When used with robust rates of Glyphosate, Sledge provides reliable, broad-spectrum weed control.

Sledge is a new formulation that offers superior tank mixing compatibilities and cost-effective weed control. As per all Group G chemistry, Sledge is a contact herbicide and therefore good spray coverage is essential. When used as a spike Sledge herbicide should be applied with label rates of Glyphosate products.

Prior to sowing broadacre crops or starting a fallow in winter, Sledge can be used at 50–80ml / Ha plus recommended label rates of Raze or other Glyphosate products.

Sledge is also registered for use at 80 -160ml / Ha prior to sowing summer crops or starting a summer fallow. Refer to the label for further information.

Sledge is particularly strong on brassica weeds including volunteer canola. Robust weed control is also provided on weeds including Erodium, Capeweed and Caltrop. Over summer Sledge has proven effective on both Paddy and Afghan Melons.

Weeds that are actively growing and small in size, are much more susceptible to Sledge herbicide when mixed with Glyphosate.

Sledge Herbicide contains Pyraflufen-Ethyl. Pyraflufen-ethyl is an ethyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of pyraflufen with ethanol. A proherbicide for pyraflufen, it is used for the control of broad-leaved weeds and grasses in a variety of crops.

Directions Of Use

Crop / Situation: Prior to sowing winter crops or starting a winter fallow.

Weeds Controlled: Annual ryegrass, Barley grass, Caltrop, Canola, Capeweed, Deadnettle, Dwarf amaranth, Erodium/Storksbill, Fat hen, Marshmallow, Oats, Prickly lettuce, Subterranean clover, Tree hogweed (Polygonum patulum), Veronica (Veronica sp.), Wild Radish & Wireweed/Hogweed

Rate per Ha: 50-100 mL plus recommended label rate of glyphosate product

Critical Comments:

Use the higher rate of Sledge on larger weeds and for faster brown-out.
Refer to the glyphosate product label and select a rate of glyphosate suitable for the conditions and weed size in each situation.
Apply to actively growing weeds at the 2-6 leaf stage.
Visible symptoms of brownout will take 2-7 days to develop.
Application to old, hardened or stressed weeds and in harsh environmental conditions such as high temperatures and low soil moisture may not result in adequate control.
To ensure uptake of Sledge do not sow crops for at least 1 hour after application.
Always refer to the appropriate companion product label in case a longer re-crop sowing period is required.
On summer fallows, the addition of an adjuvant such as Hotup or Hasten may improve results. Refer to the adjuvant label for rates and mixing instructions.

Crop / Situation: Prior to sowing summer crops or starting a summer fallow.

Weeds Controlled: Any of the weeds listed above plus:- Afghan melon (Aristida holathera) & Prickly paddy melon (Cucumis myriocarpus).

Rate per Ha: 80-160 mL plus recommended label rate of glyphosate product.

Tips For Use

General Instructions
Before opening, carefully read Directions for Use, Precautionary Statements, Safety Directions and First Aid Instructions.

Cotton:

When applied as a foliar spray to cotton pre-harvest, Sledge provides fast, effective defoliation of cotton plants.
Adequate defoliation is generally achieved within 7 to 14 days dependent on weather and crop conditions.
Apply Sledge when the last harvestable boll is physiologically mature.
Defoliation of crops with moderate to high levels of nitrogen remaining in the soil are more prone to leaf freezing than crops that have depleted soil nitrogen.
Do not apply Sledge under cold conditions when mixed with thidiazuron (night temperatures below 12°C and/or mean day/night temperatures below 18°C).

All other situations:

The addition of Sledge to Raze (or other glyphosate products) or Inferno (or other paraquat products) may increase the rate of brownout and final control, when compared to the use of the glyphosate or paraquat products alone.
Refer to the product label for Raze (or other glyphosate product) or Inferno (or other paraquat product) and select a rate suitable for the conditions and weed size in fallow situations.
Apply to volunteer cotton seedlings up to the 8-10 leaf growth stage.
Ensure thorough coverage is achieved. Best results are achieved when cotton volunteers are actively growing. Avoid application when volunteer cotton seedlings are moisture stressed.
