DAA = Days After Application

• Broad spectrum control. Imidan controls redlegged earth mite, blue oat mite and lucerne flea.

• Residual control. Imidan gives 7-10 days residual control of the key pests and is the perfect tank mix partner for Astral 250 to give maximum residual control of RLEM and effective control of lucerne flea.

• Bare earth and foliar applications. Imidan gives true residual control on the soil and on the leaf. It can be used as a bare earth spray or early season post emergent when there is foliage and bare earth present.

• Fast acting. Complete kill of pests in 1-2 days.

• Short withholding periods. 2 days for pastures and lucerne and 7 days for cereals. Allows you to put stock back into pasture blocks sooner.

• Flexible applications. Apply by ground rig in 50-100L/ha of water or by air in a minimum total water volume of 20L/ha.

• Compatibility. Imidan is compatible with Astral 250, Mascot Duo, Gladiator, Sprayseed, Shirquat, Achieve, 2,4-D amine and ester, Thistle-Killem and Trifolamine.

• Long residual control. Astral 250 gives true bare earth residual control of a range of pests including redlegged earth mite (RLEM) for up to 60 days when applied at the 40mL/ha rate.

• Controls a range of pests. Astral 250 is registered for use in wide range of crops and pastures to control redlegged earth mite, blue oat mite, bryobia mite, brown pasture looper, pasture webworm and vegetable weevil.

• Compatibility. Astral 250 is compatible with Imidan® and Saboteur®. Astral 250 is also compatible with the herbicides Stomp®, Sprayseed, Spinnaker®, Broadstrike, Simagranz, Dual, Sencor, Glean and Logran.

• Application. Astral 250 can be applied by ground rig in a total water volume of 50-200L/ha, or by air in a minimum total water volume of 20L/ha.

• Early control. Unlike seed dressings and post-emergent sprays, Astral 250 controls pests before they attack the seedling. This maximises seedling emergence and plant health.

• Excellent value. Bifenthrin has always delivered the best value in terms of cost per day of control. Astral 250 now offers even greater value.

• Broad spectrum control. Senator 600 will protect seedlings from redlegged earth mite (RLEM) and blue oat mite (BOM) for 3-4 weeks after sowing.

• Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Senator is a crucial tool in the integrated management of soil pests including RLEM and BOM. It has a different mode of action to other insecticides used in the management of these pests and being seed applied it is very targeted. When used in conjunction with soil applied insecticides, Senator 600 becomes an integral part of the pest management program.

• Improves establishment. By applying Senator 600 to pasture seed, the seed is protected through the early germination and establishment phases of growth, which ensures greater long-term dry matter production and this will translate into higher profitability.

• Beneficial friendly. Senator being a seed treatment is a great tool for IPM, low amounts of active ingredients are added only to the seed thus decreasing the chance of effecting beneficial insects.

• Ask your seed supplier for Senator 600 applied seed.

• Broad spectrum control. Mascot Duo controls a wide range of pests including redlegged earth mite, blue oat mite, blackheaded pasture cockchafer, wingless grass-hoppers, brown pasture looper and pasture webworm.

• Controls blackheaded pasture cockchafer. Dominex is a very effective and economical option for controlling this troublesome pasture pest.

• Wide crop and pasture registrations. Mascot Duo is registered to control the key pests in a range of crops and pasture situations.

• Fast knockdown. Removes pest quickly and effectively.

• Foliar and bare earth. Mascot Duo is a very effective foliar spray for the control of earth mites. Mascot Duo is registered for bare earth control of RLEM, however it is only suited to low pest pressure situations where short-term residual is required. In most situations, Crop Care would recommend treatment with Astral 250 for bare earth control.

• Compatibility. Mascot Duo is compatible with Fusion, Select, Fusilade, Banvel, Thistle-Killem, Trifolamine, 2,4-D amine and ester, T-Rex, Bentley, Simagranz, Saboteur, Shirquat, Sprayseed, Reglone and Gladiator.

• Better value. At the current price, Mascot Duo delivers great value in controlling a range of problem pests in pastures and crops.

• Effective control of pasture pests. Including redlegged earth mite, lucerne flea, blue oat mite, pangola aphids, wingless grasshopper, spotted alfalfa aphid and blue green aphid.

• Registered in pasture, pasture seed and forage crops (including clover, medics, cereals, lucerne, legumes for animal feed).

• Low cost option for post-em control of both RLEM and lucerne flea. Short residual but systemic so suited for later applications and use in time-rite applications.

• Do not spray bare ground - ie allow pasture to emerge prior to application.

• Systemic, contact and stomach mode of action.

• Limited residual control.• Application flexibility.

Ground Rig: 50L - 100L water/ha Aerial: 20L - 40L water/ha

• Effective control of blackheaded pasture cockchafer, redlegged earth mite, pea aphid, lucerne leaf roller, native budworm (Helicoverpa punctigera), pasture webworm, brown pasture looper, pink or brown cutworm and common cutworm.

• Registered in lucerne, pasture, and numerous other summer and winter row and broadacre crops.

• Controls a wide range of insects in a range of pasture situations. Excellent rainfastness makes it especially suited to high rainfall or irrigated situations.

• Application flexibility. Ground Rig: 50L - 100L water/ha Aerial: 10L - 20L water/ha• Highly concentrated formulation.

Convenience of low use rates and less packaging.

• Contact and residual activity.• Rapid knockdown.• Micro-encapsulated active ingredient acts as

Slugs affect pasture. Slug densities as low as 5/m2 have been shown to reduce ryegrass and white clover seedling numbers by 27% and 29% respectively within 21 days of sowing. Trials conducted in New Zealand have shown that slugs can certainly be a major problem during pasture establishment in both spring and autumn, especially in spray-drill situations.

• SlugOut is highly effective against slugs.• SlugOut has a high concentration of active ingredient.• SlugOut is a premium granular bait formulation that is small in size but high in active ingredient. SlugOut contains 18g/kg [1.8%] of the active ingredient metaldehyde but all the metaldehyde is in the edible outer coating giving an effective concentration of 90g/kg [9%]• SlugOut was developed in New Zealand to

withstand the rain; trials have shown that SlugOut does not disintegrate in heavy rain and remains intact after at least 90mm of rain.

• SlugOut gives excellent coverage; at equivalent rates/ha, SlugOut delivers 50% more bait points per m2 than Metarex and 6 times the amount of META/Mesurol/Multigard.

SlugOut does not affect earthworms or carabid beetles.

The improvement in white clover establishment in a spray-drill situation from the broadcast application of slug baits.

• Broad spectrum weed control. Raptor® provides effective control of key annual grass and broadleaf weed species in pastures. This includes silver grass and barley grass as well as doublegee, Paterson’s curse, turnip weed and many others.

• Wide window of application. Because of its inherent safety Raptor can be applied from the 3rd trifoliate leaf right up to immediately before flowering. This allows flexibility of timing and means spraying at the correct weed stage, rather than the growth stage of the pasture.

• Excellent pasture safety. Raptor can be safely used on most lucerne, clover and serradella varieties. Raptor can also be used on pastures containing established perennial grasses. Vigour of grass species may be retarded by the use of Raptor but good growing conditions should facilitate full recovery.

• Minimal disruption to grazing. Unlike some other pasture herbicides Raptor does not brown off the desirable pasture species and the 7 day withholding period ensures maximum pasture utilisation and flexibility.

• Compatible with a range of insecticides. Raptor can be used with a number of insecticides such as Mascot Duo or Imidan to control damaging pasture pests such as redlegged earth mite and lucerne flea.

• Concentrated formulation. The high quality concentrated granular formulation of Raptor is easy to use and the low use rate means there are less containers to transport, store and dispose of.

• Excellent control of capeweed and Paterson’s curse. Agtryne MA® has proven to be the most effective herbicide on the market for controlling these troublesome weeds.

• Flexible rate range. Agtryne can be applied at rates from 300mL/ha up to 1.5L/ha giving greater flexibility depending on the size of the weeds and the maturity of the pasture.

• Safe to mixed clover and grass pastures. Agtryne is safe to use on clovers when used in accordance with the label and avoiding temperatures over 180C.

• Controls a range of weeds. Also controls a wide range of other broadleaf weeds including toadrush and storksbill.

• Compatible with a range of insecticides. Agtryne can be used with a number of insecticides such as Saboteur, Mascot Duo or Imidan.

HERBICIDE

®

• Excellent control of capeweed and

Paterson’s curse. Igran contains terbutryne

which has been proven to be very effective

for controlling these troublesome weeds

• Flexible use options. Igran can be used at a

range of rates either alone or in a tank mix

with Thistle-Killem

• Safe to mixed clover and grass pastures.

Igran is safe to use on clovers when used in

accordance with the label and avoiding

temperatures over 180C.

• Controls a range of weeds. Also controls a

range of other broadleaf weeds including

toadrush and storksbill.

Some important pasture weeds including capeweed and thistles can be controlled by “spray-grazing”, that is, a combination of herbicide treatment followed by heavy grazing. The application of Thistle-Killem 750 herbicide to weeds increases palatability to stock by raising sugar levels. Also the leaves tend to curl upwards making them more accessible to stock.• Key benefit. Cost effective broadleaf weed

control as herbicide rates can be kept low which also enhances clover safety.

• Timing. Apply spray to weeds in autumn and early winter when they are actively growing and are 6-8 weeks old. Spray when sub-clover has at least 4 trifoliate leaves and weeds are at the rosette stage. Introduce stock 7-10 days after spraying at high stocking rate.

• Rate of use. Thistle-Killem 750 Herbicide; Use 230mL/ha to 930mL/ha, for spray-grazing, refer to label for further directions

• Compatibility. Thistle-Killem 750 can be tank mixed with Imidan, Mascot Duo, and Saboteur for the control of pasture insects such as redlegged earth mite.

THISTLE-KILLEM® 750

• Safe to use on a range of legumes.

Trifolamine can be used on lucerne, sub

clover and medic pastures.

• Safe to cereals. Because Trifolamine is

safe to cereals and can be used on legumes

as young as one trifoliate leaf it is ideal for

cereals undersown with legume pasture

species.

• Controls a wide range of weeds. Trifolamine

is registered to control a wide range of

weeds including hard to control weeds such

as capeweed, Paterson’s curse and thistles.

• Compatible with Raptor. The combination

of Raptor and Trifolamine is effective on an

even broader range of weeds in lucerne.

• Trusted Brand. Trifolamine has been the

brand for control of weeds in lucerne and

other legume pastures for decades.

• Excellent grass control in your pastures. Shirquat has proven to be a most effective herbicide for controlling ryegrass, brome grass, silver grass and suppression of barley grass in legume based pastures.

• Relatively safe on legume pasture seed set. Shirquat is much softer on pasture seed set versus using glyphosate for spraytopping. Shirquat preserves more viable legume seed, which allows more seedlings to regenerate pasture, giving a more productive pasture the following year.

• Improves feed quality and stock productivity. By using Shirquat for spraytopping you are improving your legume base, which is a vital summer food source for livestock. 113 grams of medic seed per head per day can result in sheep body weight maintenance.

• Resistance tool. Shirquat use during spraytopping can reduce resistant ryegrass seed set. It can be used over consecutive years in pasture to attempt to reduce resistant grass populations whilst providing a good legume pasture base for livestock.

• Reduce ARGT with Shirquat. Spraytopping with Shirquat will kill nematodes on ryegrass before bacterial growth has got to the toxic stage, if sprayed in the correct window. This comes about by spraying the ryegrass early enough to stop flower development. Treatment should be applied 10 days after the emergence of the first ryegrass seed heads.
