VULCANUS (flufenacet)

Vulcanus is a selective herbicide with systemic action, applied to the soil, in the form of a suspension concentrate. Intended for the control of weeds in winter cereals. To achieve effective weed control after application, avoid performing agrotechnical treatments that disturb the topsoil layer.

The product is intended for use with field sprayers.

Vulcanus active substance content: flufenacet (compound from the oxyacetamide group) – 600 g/l (48.78%)

Vulcanus PRECAUTIONS, PRE-HARVEST INTERVALS AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF USE

Interval from last application to crop harvest (pre-harvest interval): Not required

1. Do not mix Vulcanus with soil.
2. Do not perform agrotechnical treatments that disturb the structure of the topsoil layer after application to avoid reducing herbicidal efficacy and prevent movement of the product to deeper soil layers.
3. Cereal seeds must be covered with a 3 cm layer of soil.
4. Resistance management strategy:

To minimise the risk of occurrence and development of weed resistance to herbicides, follow Good Agricultural Practice:

• strictly follow the instructions on the plant protection product label – use the product at the recommended dose and application timing to ensure optimal weed control,
• adapt the choice of herbicide and decision to apply based on the current (or potential) weed infestation, considering dominant species and damage thresholds,
• use herbicide rotation (active substances) with different modes of action,
• use mixtures of herbicides (active substances) with different modes of action,
• use in rotation and/or mixtures herbicides acting on several weed life processes (with different modes of action),
• use a herbicide with a given mode of action only once per crop growing season,
• adapt cultivation practices to field conditions, especially weed type and intensity,
• use various weed control methods, including crop rotation, etc.,
• use certified seed material,
• clean agricultural machinery to prevent transfer of weed propagules to other sites,
• inform the authorisation holder about unsatisfactory weed control,
• for detailed information, contact an advisor, the authorisation holder or their representative.

1. Do not use the product:

• on waterlogged soils,
• in cereals with legume undersowing,
• on plants under stress, attacked by diseases or pests, or damaged by frost,
• during large daily temperature fluctuations, as temporary yellowing of plants may occur.

1. During application, avoid:

• drift of spray liquid onto neighbouring crops,
• overlapping of spray liquid at the edges of treatment strips and headlands.

Vulcanus CROP SEQUENCE

The product does not pose a risk to succeeding crops.

If it is necessary to destroy a treated crop earlier due to frost damage, pests or diseases, after autumn ploughing the field, winter cereals can be sown immediately. Cultivation of dicotyledonous plants is possible only after ploughing to a depth of at least 20 cm.

Vulcanus PREPARATION OF SPRAY LIQUID

Prepare the spray liquid immediately before use.

Shake the contents of the package before use.

Before preparing the spray liquid, accurately determine the required volume and amount of product. When filling the sprayer, follow the sprayer manufacturer's instructions. If no instructions are available, add the measured amount of product to the sprayer tank partially filled with water (with the agitator on).

Rinse empty containers three times with water, pour the rinsate into the sprayer tank with the spray liquid, top up with water to the required volume and mix thoroughly. If the sprayer tank is not equipped with a hydraulic agitator, mechanically mix the liquid after adding the product.

In case of interruptions during spraying, mix the spray liquid thoroughly before resuming work.

 

 

DISPOSAL OF SPRAY LIQUID REMAINS

Spray liquid remains and water used for equipment cleaning should be:

• if possible, after prior dilution, used on the treated area, or
• disposed of using technical solutions ensuring biological degradation of active substances of plant protection products, or
• disposed of in another manner compliant with waste regulations.

After use, wash and rinse the equipment thoroughly with water at least three times.
