Bromoxynil

 It belongs to the nitrile chemical group. Selective post-emergency herbicide, action by contact, translocation. Inhibits photosynthesis and respiration.

How to use

It can be used in oats , barley , rye , corn , and wheat : Against dicotyledons at a dose of 1-1.65 l / ha, except in the case of corn where the dose is 1-2 l / ha. Apply from the state of 3 leaves of the crop. In corn Apply post-emergence of the crop: from the 2-4 leaf stage to 6-8 leaves.

Destiny in the environment

Its presence in the atmosphere occurs both in the vapor phase and in the particulate phase. Vapor is degraded very slowly in air by reaction with hydroxyl radicals (reaction half-life of 76 days) and the particles are deposited with rain and dust. Under ambient conditions (pH 5 to 9) it is basically found as an anion. This pesticide is susceptible to direct photolysis in air and on the surface of water, soil and plants. The presence of iron (III) or manganese ions(II) favor its photodegradation in water. Its persistence in soil is low. In sandy soils its half-life is 10 days, but in organic or clay soils its degradation is slower (half-life of approximately 2 weeks at 25 ° C). On the ground its mobility is moderate. In bodies of water it is not expected to bind to suspended solids or sediments. Generally its volatilization is negligible, except when it is formulated as an ester (n-butyrate or iso-octanoate). Its estimated bioaccumulation potential is low. Plants can absorb this pesticide, but they do not translocate it within them.

Compatibility

It is compatible with certain antigramine herbicides , as well as hormonal herbicides, of which it extends its herbicidal effect

Authorized applications

Registered its use in crops: oats, barley, rye, corn and wheat.

Precautions and restrictions

First aid

If swallowed, induce vomiting, inserting two fingers down the throat. Atropine Sulfate Antidote 1o / oo

Other

  • Do not graze until 15 days after application
  • Avoid applications with extreme temperatures, when the crop covers weeds or there is a water deficit.
  • Slightly persistent

recommendations

Apply as a low pressure spray using the maximum dose in case of heavy infestation or with adventitia already in a state of 4 to 6 leaves. The minimum dose will be used in very early treatments and very favorable conditions. As it is a contact herbicide, it must be applied before the cereal covers the adventitia. The quantity of broth per hectare will be greater than 300 L / in the case of terrestrial applications. Treating with calm wind, temperate soils and not excessively high or low temperatures, in order to favor a good absorption of the herbicide by dicotyledonous weeds. Rain falling after two hours after treatment or the existence of dew at the time of application, does not reduce the effectiveness of the product.
