Apply in 450 litres water per hectare. Pressure up to 3 bar,(40psi)
Application Timing And Guidance
Apply before crop emergence, (from drilling up to the time of chitting), usually
within 48 hours of drilling. Apply post crop emergence after crops
have 3 - 4 true leaves and before weed emergence.
Apply after transplanting and hardening
off of transplanted crops, which should
be irrigated after transplanting, especially
peat block module transplants.
|
CAUTION: Do not tank-mix with
other products when applying to peat block module transplants.

Tank Mixtures
Sting ECO
Ramrod Flowable may be tank-mixed with Sting ECO herbicide and applied post-drilling, PRE-EMERGENCE of Swede and Turnip crops. This is useful where the stale seedbed technique has been used to retain moisture for the germinating crop allowing a flush of weeds including some species (e.g. Charlock) which are resistant to many soil acting herbicides. The tank-mixture provides a clean-up of emerged annual weeds and a foliar kill of perennials, together with residual activity on many annuals.

Crops and Timing
To increase the spectrum and period of weed control, Ramrod Flowable may be tank-mixed with Dacthal W-75 and applied before weed germination in the same range of brassica crops as for this product alone.

Additional Information
Transplanted Crops
Young plants, particularly Cabbage,
Cauliflowers and Brussels Sprout,
raised under glass, must be hardened
off carefully before spraying. After
transplanting, crops should be
irrigated, or herbicide application
delayed until after rain has fallen, to
allow plants to become established.
Peat-Block Module Transplants
It is essential to plant firmly and to
harden off the plants thoroughly before
spraying. Continuous irrigation after
transplanting may be necessary to
ensure that the peat blocks do not dry
out and result in plants suffering from
drought stress. Delay application until
plants are showing active leaf growth.
Sequential treatment
Ramrod Flowable
Brassicas may be re-treated with
Ramrod Flowable 6 - 8 weeks after the
initial treatment provided no weeds
have emerged and the brassicas have
at least 3 - 4 true leaves and are not
suffering from drought stress.
Treflan:
Ramrod Flowable may be used on
brassica crops that have been treated
with Treflan. This sequence broadens
the weed species controlled to include:
Black-bindweed, Fat-hen, Knotgrass
and Redshank.
|
CAUTION:
DO NOT apply the tank-mixture of
Ramrod Flowable + Sting ECO to
emerged crops.
DO NOT apply the tank-mixtures of
either Ramrod Flowable + Dacthal
W-75 or Comodor to soils with over
10% organic matter content.
DO NOT apply to plants (however
transplanted) suffering from stress
from drought or cold and especially
when frosts are occurring.
DO NOT exceed the stated
recommended rate when applying
sequential treatments of Ramrod
Flowable.

Brassica Crops (Swede And Turnip) - Drilled On Ridges
Application
| Ramrod Flowable |
Rate |
| l/ha |
Mineral Soils
Organic Soils | 9.0
13.0 |
Apply in 450 litres water per hectare overall or
225l/ha to the band. Pressure up to 3 bar,(40psi)
Application Timing and Guidance
Overall or band applications may be
used pre-crop emergence. Band
application should be made at the time
of drilling with suitable band spraying
equipment mounted on the seed
drill. Drill into a moist, fine tilth, seeds
well covered, ridges clod-free with
rounded tops. The application rate
on the area of land band sprayed
should be as for overall treatments.
The actual area sprayed would be
a quarter of the total where spraying
a 18 cm (7 ins) band on 70 cm (28
ins) ridges.
Tank Mixtures
Sting ECO
Ramrod Flowable may be tank-mixed
with Sting ECO and applied overall
post-drilling pre-emergence of Swede
and Turnips. This is useful where the
stale seedbed technique has been
used. To maximise the benefits of the
stale seedbed system on ridges it is
important to prepare the ridges at
least one month prior to the intended
drilling date. Follow application details
specified for `Brassica Crops Grown
on the Flat’ on this label.
Dacthal W-75
To increase the spectrum of weed
control, Ramrod Flowable may be
tank-mixed with Dacthal W-75 and
applied in a band or overall to Swede
and Turnip crops drilled on ridges.
Follow application details specified
for `Brassica Crops Grown on the
Flat’ on this label.
Additional Information
Ridge Formation and Drilling
Drill into a moist, fine tilth to
encourage rapid germination of the
crop seeds which must be well
covered and drilled to an even depth.
Fields should be prepared by winter
ploughing and spring cultivations to
form a ridge free of clods with a fine
firm surface tilth and with a rounded
top and good shoulder. Deep
cultivations should be kept to the
minimum necessary for the production
of a good ridge and to retain
maximum soil moisture.
Post-Crop Emergence Cultivation
When scarifying the ridge, disturb the
minimum quantity of soil next to the
crop seedlings, otherwise weed control
will be reduced and crop damage may
occur. If the crop is hand thinned, the
disturbance of soil may encourage
weed growth.
Sequential treatment
Ramrod Flowable
Swede and Turnip crops may be
retreated after they have 3-4 true
leaves provided no weeds have
emerged.
Treflan
Ramrod Flowable may be applied in a
band or overall to Swede and Turnip
crops drilled on ridges which have
been treated with Treflan.
|
CAUTION:
DO NOT apply the tank-mixture of
Ramrod Flowable + Sting ECO to
emerged crops.
DO NOT apply the tank-mixtures of
Ramrod Flowable + Dacthal W-75 to
soils with over 10% organic matter
content.
DO NOT exceed the stated
recommended rate when applying
sequential treatments of Ramrod
Flowable.
