Using Latitude


Application

Silthiofam is loaded onto seed at a rate of 2 litres of Latitude per tonne of seed (250g ai/t). This gives 20-40g ai/ha, depending on seed rate.

The water-based FS formulation ensures good seed coverage, low viscosity and low dustiness.

Latitude can be co-applied with many other seed treatments, please check the compatibilities list for further information. Notably it cannot be applied with guazatine (Ravine/Premis) using some commercial equipment. Some of the less expensive manganese seed treatments can affect the loading and adhesion of Latitude on seed.
 
Approved Crops
  • Winter and spring wheat
  • Winter barley
  • Triticale, Rye and Durum wheat (SOLA)
Guidelines for use
Application rate and information:
  • 2 litres/tonne
  • Specific gravity = 1.059 kg/l
  • Co-apply with a basic seed treatment for seed borne disease control
  • For compatibility please see compatibilities list
Drilling Instructions
  • Check drill calibration before use
  • Drill seed at 2.5 – 4cms depth into a well prepared and firm seedbed
  • Avoid poor seedbed conditions (eg very dry, fluffy, cloddy, capped or water-logged seedbeds)
Treated Seed Storage
  • Ideally, drill Latitude treated seed in the season of purchase
  • Latitude does not adversely affect the germination of stored seed
  • Because it is normally co-applied with a basic seed treatment always check the germination prior to using over-yeared seed
Environmental Stewardship
  • The likely build up of resistance to Latitude is low but cannot be excluded, as a precaution do not treat more than three consecutive cereal crops in any one rotation
  • Always use an integrated approach to take-all control, including cultural controls
  • Be aware that take-all symptoms will be seen in high disease situations
