MANDRYL is a herbicide in the form of a suspension concentrate for dilution with water, used as a soil treatment, intended for the control of annual dicotyledonous weeds and some monocotyledonous weeds in the cultivation of potato, soybean, sunflower and broad bean.

The product is intended for use with self-propelled or tractor-mounted field sprayers.

Active substance content: metobromuron (a compound from the phenylurea group) – 500 g/l (41.02%)

EFFECT ON WEEDS

Moderately sensitive weeds: small cranesbill, one-sided grass, cleavers, black nightshade, climbing knotweed, spotted knotweed, common chickweed (at 3 l/ha dose).

Resistant weeds: perennial weeds, deeply rooted.

Maximum number of treatments per growing season: 1.

 

CROP ROTATION

The product applied at recommended doses decomposes in the soil during the growing season
and does not pose a risk to succeeding crops.

If it is necessary to terminate the crop treated with MANDRYL herbicide earlier due to damage to the crop by pests, diseases or frost, maize, broad bean, pea, bean and carrot can be grown on the field after the terminated crop, after prior seedbed preparation. Sowing of cruciferous plants (oilseed rape, mustard, turnip) and beet is not recommended.

PRECAUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS RELATED TO GOOD AGRICULTURAL PRACTICE

The product must not be used:

• during wind conditions that may cause drift of the spray liquid onto neighbouring crops,
• on early potatoes,
• on dry and cloddy soils as well as wet and muddy soils,
• before expected heavy rainfall.

PREPARATION OF SPRAY LIQUID

Before preparing the spray liquid, accurately determine the required amount.

Shake the contents of the package well before use. Pour the required amount of the product into the sprayer tank partially filled with water (with the agitator on)
and top up with water to the required volume. 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 in the tank after adding the product.

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

HANDLING OF SPRAY LIQUID RESIDUES AND EQUIPMENT CLEANING

Residues of spray liquid after treatment should be handled in a way that minimises the risk of contamination of surface and groundwater as defined by the Water Law and soil contamination, i.e.:

• after prior dilution, use on the area where the treatment was carried out, if possible, or
• dispose of using technical solutions ensuring biological degradation of the active substances of plant protection products, or
• dispose of in another manner compliant with waste regulations.

After work, wash the equipment thoroughly.

Water used for washing the equipment should be handled as spray liquid residues, using the same personal protective measures.
