Crowbar Herbicide (Diclofop-Methyl) CROWBAR Amgrow

Description

Crowbar Herbicide

Active Ingredient: Diclofop-Methyl @ 375g/L

Similar or comparable to Di-Grass Selective Herbicide (Sipcam)

Crowbar Herbicide is for the control of Crowsfoot grass in turf and for Post-emergent Control of Annual Ryegrass, Common Barb grass and Wild Oats in Wheat, Linseed, Peas and other crops.

Crowbar is a selective systemic herbicide, which is absorbed primarily by the leaves, with some absorption by the roots in moist soil. Once inside the plant, Diclofop methyl undergoes rapid transformation to the diclofop molecule, which is translocated within the plant.

Crowbar Herbicide is a Group A mode of action. Diclofop Methyl, the active ingredient in Crowbar works by inhibiting fatty acid production via the prevention of acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase) synthase. As a result, Diclofop Methyl has been proven to destroy the plant’s cell membrane, prevent the translocation of assimilates (plant food reserves) to the root system, reduce plant chlorophyll content, and inhibit photosynthesis and meristem activity.

Why choose Crowbar herbicide:

  • Contains the active ingredient Diclofop-Methyl. 
  • Proven performance.
  • Cost-effective option for large-area treatment.
  • Excellent turf safety characteristics on warm-season grasses including Couch, Kikuyu, Qld Blue & Buffalo.
  • Very effective in controlling Crowsfoot when in the early growth stages (seedling to tillering).
  • Can be applied regularly throughout the season.
  • Rainfall and irrigation won’t diminish effectiveness as much as other products.
  • A systemic selective herbicide that effectively kills target grass weeds in crops.
  • Absorbed via the roots also if moisture is present in the root zone.
  • Some residual activity in soil on later germinating weeds.
  • Easy to use and apply and can be tank-mixed with compatible pesticides and fertilisers.

Turf Application:

Crowbar Herbicide is applied at a rate of 1.0 – 2.5L/Ha (10mL – 25mL/100m2). 

  • Use the lower rate for seedlings, and the higher rate for more established Crowsfoot plants. 
  • A repeat application may be required in 2-4 weeks when treating more mature Crowsfoot plants.
  • Results are best when Crowbar is applied under good growing conditions and weeds have sufficient leaf area ie 2 to 3 days after mowing.
  • When using Crowbar, the following factors are critical to maximising herbicidal performance. 
  • Aim to apply Crowbar to the base of weeds to ensure penetration.

    The mixing rate for Crowbar Herbicide depends on the situation (i.e. crop/turf) you are spraying, the weeds you are targeting, and the weed's growth stage.  Full instructions, including mixing and application, are available in the directions for use which you can find in the 'SDS and Technical' tab beneath the product listing on the Specialist Sales website.

Tips For Use

General Instructions:

  • Results are best under good growing conditions and application to weeds or crop under stress (eg. due to continuous severe frosts, dry or waterlogged conditions) should be avoided.
  • Best results come from early season applications.
  • Ensure good coverage over the Crowsfoot plant. Use higher water volumes where practical (>500L/Ha).
  • The addition of a non-ionic surfactant or a methylated seed oil has been proven to enhance control on Crowsfoot.
  • Avoid applications to turfgrass under drought stress or stress from insects, diseases or nematodes.

Application Equipment:

  • Ground Sprayers – Standard boom sprays only are recommended and must be fitted with by-pass-pass or mechanical agitation. It is recommended to use approximately 50 to 150L water/ha and a droplet size of 200 to 300 microns. Do not apply with boomless jets or misters. 
  • With ground boom sprays, better coverage and penetration may be obtained by setting nozzles at 45o angle forward, particularly in dense crops.
  • Knapsack Equipment – Crowbar should be applied at label rates in adequate water to thoroughly wet weeds being sprayed, ie 5 to 10L/100m2.
  • Aircraft – Best results have been obtained using 20 to 30L water/ha with a steady cross wind and a swath width of 15 to 18 metres. Aim for a droplet size of 200 to 300 microns. Do not exaggerate swath width. Aircraft operators should consult manufacturer for details.

Restraints:

  • Do not apply if rainfall is expected within 2 hours.
  • Do not spray when temperatures are higher than 25°c.
  • Do not apply to weeds or turf under stress due to, for example: very dry, very wet, nutrient deficient, frost or diseased conditions.
  • Do not use on rye-grass turf.
  • Do not apply Crowbar through any type of irrigation system.
  • Do not tank mix Crowbar with any liquid fertiliser.

Storage:

  • Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well- ventilated area. 
  • Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight.

Safety Directions:

  • Will irritate the eyes and skin. 
  • Avoid contact with eyes and skin. 
  • Do not inhale vapour. 
  • When opening the container and preparing spray and using the prepared spray wear cotton overalls, buttoned to the neck and wrist, a washable hat, elbow-length PVC gloves and goggles. 
  • If product in eyes, wash out immediately with water. 
  • Wash hands after use. 
  • After each day’s use, wash gloves, goggles and contaminated clothing.
