Drybean

Features

Bendioxide is a photosynthetic electron transport inhibitor at the photosystem II receptor. It is a selective contact herbicide, absorbed mainly by the foliage, with very little translocation, but also absorbed by the roots, with translocation acropetally in the xylem.
HORNET 480 SL controls several difficult to control broadleaf weeds.
- Yellow nutsedge
- Wandering jew
- Dubbeltjie
- Morning glory

Do's & Don'ts

Apply HORNET 480 SL to young and actively growing weeds, early post-emergence.
It is essential to wet the weeds thoroughly because HORNET 480 SL is a contact herbicide. Rainfall or overhead irrigation within eight hours after application may cancel the effect of HORNET 480 SL.
The use of HORNET 480 SL on leguminous crops, planted with an organophosphate insecticide granular formulation, is not recommended because crop damage may occur.
Do not use insecticides within seven days after application of HORNET 480 SL.
The thickness of the wax layer on the leaf determines crop selectivity. Frost, cold, wet conditions, adjuvants, previous spray residues, diseases etc. contribute to damage to the leaf’s wax layer, leading to crop damage. If any of the abovementioned conditions occur, delay the HORNET 480 SL application of by 5–7 days to allow the restoration of the wax layer.
If using a post-emergence grass herbicide after HORNET 480 SL, allow at least seven days between applications.
If using a post-emergence grass herbicide before HORNET 480 SL, allow at least 14 days between applications.
Do not apply HORNET 480 SL on hot and sunny days directly after a period of cool, wet weather conditions.
Do not apply with buffers, acidifiers or any other type of adjuvant not recommended on this label.
Apply HORNET 480 SL in a minimum of 300ℓ water per hectare
