Dual Gold 960 EC with metolachlor  is a selective, systemic, soil herbicide for control of annual cereals, incl. halepense, sorghum and some deciduous weeds

Function: Herbicide to control weeds in corn, sunflower, sorghum, cotton, soybeans, potatoes, tobacco and vegetables

Mode of action: Dual Gold 960 EC contains an active substance from the group of chloroacetamides (group K3 from the HRAC classification), which penetrates mainly through the germination coleotyl weed seeds. Therefore, weeds are destroyed before or during germination, i.e. at the earliest stage of their development. The action through the roots is less pronounced and significantly less effective than coleotyl penetration.

Use:

Tomatoes, Chips, Mops, Ly I, II, III years. – 120ml / 1000 m2
Corn, Sunflower, Soybean, Sugar beet, Tobacco, Cotton, Potatoes, Beans, Lucerne, Sorghum- 150ml / 1000 m2

• dose of 120 ml / 1000 m2 for tomatoes and peppers (seedlings and non-seedlings), carrots and onions I, II and III year. Note: For onions I year to be used only on heavy soils.
• dose of 150 ml / 1000 m2 for corn, sunflower, cotton, potatoes, tobacco, soy, sugar beets, alfalfa, beans.
• dose of 150 ml / ha in sorghum, the seeds being pre-treated with the antidote CONCEPT III.

Dual Gold 960 EC is applied after sowing (planting), before the emergence of the crop, or before transplanting the crops.
In the case of sorghum, the product is applied only after sowing, before the emergence of the crop.
Under conditions of surface drought and in areas with prevailing periods without precipitation after treatment, Dual Gold 960 EC should be used before sowing with surface incorporation. Incorporation should be shallow and not exceeds 5 cm depth.

Note: Avoid using Dual Gold 960 EC when representing danger of damage to cultivated plants related to weeds – subject to action of herbicide.
To achieve high efficacy against weeds requires good preparation of the soil (without lumps) before the application of Dual Gold 960 EC, as well as the presence of sufficient soil moisture.
