   STATUTORY CONDITIONS RELATING TO USE.
   FOR USE ONLY AS AN AGRICULTURAL HERBICIDE

   Strains of some annual grasses (e.g. black-grass, wild oats and Italian rye-grass) have developed resistance to herbicides why may lead to poor control. A strategy for managing and preventing such resistance should be developed. Guidelines have been produced by the Weed Resistance Action Group and copies are available from the HGCA, CPA, your distributor, crop advisor or product manufacturer.

Crop Varieties
   Do not treat spring varieties of wheat.

Mode of Action
   Avadex Excel 15G, when applied to the soil, forms a chemical barrier through which germinating weeds have to grow; they absorb the chemical and are killed. Recommended crops grow through the barrier safely. However wild oats germinating on or near the surface or from well below the treated layer may not be controlled. The product is safe to all recommended winter cereals, including durum wheat. Spring barley and legume crops should only be treated pre-emergence. Beet crops should only be treated pre-drilling.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
   THIS PRODUCT MUST BE USED ONLY IN THE AREAS OF USE RECOMMENDED ON THIS LABEL AND APPLIED ACCORDING TO 'DIRECTIONS FOR USE'. ALL OTHER USES AND METHOD OF APPLICATION ARE EXCLUDED.

Crops	Maximum individual dose (Product)	Maximum number of treatments	Latest time of application
Winter Wheat, Winter Barley, Durum Wheat, Triticale, Winter Rye	15 kg/ha	1 per crop	Before first node detectable stage
Winter Field Beans, Spring Barley, Peas (vining, dried and seed), Spring Field Beans, Forage Legumes (peas, lucerne, red clover, white clover, sainfoin, tares or vetches)	15 kg/ha	1 per crop	Pre-crop emergence
Sugar Beet, Fodder Beet, Mangel, Red Beet	15 kg/ha	1 per crop	Pre-drilling

Seedbed and Climatic Conditions
   Apply Avadex Excel 15G to well prepared, moist seedbeds. Very cloddy seedbeds should be avoided although it may be applied to ploughed land prior to working a seedbed for sugar beet. Loose, puffy seedbeds should be consolidated prior to drilling. When applied to the soil surface without incorporating, Avadex Excel 15G needs some moisture after application to be activated.

   Where winter cereals are drilled in warm dry conditions in September, application should be delayed until more favorable soil moisture conditions occur.

   Where weather conditions are favourable at drilling and during early crop establishment, wild oats can rapidly germinate and grow beyond the susceptible growth stage. Where this might occur, Avadex Excel 15G should be applied within 14 days of drilling.

   In direct drilled crops, apply only post-emergence of the crop up to the 2 leaf stage of wild-oats.

Soil Type
   Avadex Excel 15G may be used on soils containing less than 10% organic matter.

Following Crops
   Do not sow oat or grass crops within a year after treating with Avadex Excel 15G.

   Do not undersow grass species in crops that have been treated with this product. It is safe to undersow with clover and other legumes.
