TANK MIX RESTRICTIONS Unless indicated above DO NOT MIX MONITOR without consulting Monsanto UK Ltdas they may be physically incompatible or antagonistic, resulting in poor weed control.† Avoid extremes of acidity in the spray volume. A pH between 6 and 8 is preferred for optimum efficacy. Use buffers to rectify spray pH where appropriate.

* It is recommended that the sowing of Winter Oilseed rape is preceded by cultivation to a depth of at least 10 cm

MonitorKEY BENEFITS

Improves wheat performance• Increases yield• Improves harvest efficiency• Breaks the cycle of weed seed return

Flexible to use• Wide application window • Wide range of tank mixing options

Fits the rotation• Wide range of crops, including oilseed rape, can be planted in

the autumn

KEY FEATURES• Stops Brome, Couch and other grass weeds in winter wheat• Effective control of Cleavers and other broad-leaved weeds• Reduces the competitive effect of weeds to preserve yield• Reduces lodging to optimise harvest timing and efficiency• Wide application window from 1st February until flag leaf emerging, allows

choice of optimum climatic conditions• Extensive range of tank mixing options means no need for extra passes• LERAP B

OPTIMISING USE• Ensure accurate weed identification• Integrate cultural control - stale seedbeds and break-cropping• Apply Monitor when the weeds and crop are actively growing• Warm temperatures during and after application with moist soils are ideal

conditions. Avoid drought conditions, waterlogged soils, frost and strong, cold winds

• Always use an appropriate adjuvant (see tank mix compatibility guidance) • Use partner herbicides in mixture and sequence with Monitor as required,

eg. flufenacet+pendimethalin or triallate for Barren and Great Brome • No rain for 4 hours after application• Wash spray tank thoroughly after use

WEED CONTROL Monitor at 25g/ha + Frigate @ 0.2% (or other recommended adjuvant) in 200-250 litres water as a Medium spray, (BCPC category). Application timing from 1st February and between GS13-39 of the crop

*SUSCEPTIBILITY RATINGS:- S = Susceptible (80-100%. MC = Moderate Control, reduction in plant biomassbut incomplete control and re-growth is likely to be seen in the following year. MS = Moderately Susceptible(50-79%). MR = Moderately Resistant (30-49%). R = Resistant (10-30%). The information above is forguidance only, final levels of weed control will depend on rates and conditions at application.
