Technical data
Application Rate
4 rows| Characteristic | Value | Unit | Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cereals | 5 L/ha in 170 – 500 L of water | After crop have 4 true leaves and when weeds are small. If undersown with clover, apply after the clover has 2 true trifoliate leaves. | Do NOT apply to crops undersown with lucerne. To reduce chances of root absorption, more than 50% of the ground must have complete vegetation cover. Use with a surfactant such as Synergy™ Wetter Sticker at label rates |
| White Clover Seed Crops | 5 – 6 L/ha in 500 L (min) of water | In spring or autumn after 2 trifoliate leaves have formed and before flowering, and when weeds are small. | Use with a surfactant such as Synergy™ Wetter Sticker at label rates. Use the high water rate and large droplets to ensure penetration into the weed crown. For best results, spray during periods of warm humid weather. PQ200, applied at least 2 weeks prior to Quasar, will improve results provided that weeds are actively growing at the time of the Quasar treatment. |
| Pasture – New and Established | 5 – 7.5 L/ha in 300 – 500 L of water | When clover has 1 – 2 trifoliate leaves and weeds are at the 4 – 6 leaf stage. | Use with a surfactant such as Synergy™ Wetter Sticker at label rates |
| Peas | 5 L/ha in 300 – 500 L of water | When crop is at 5 – 7 node stage (8 – 18 cm high) and when weeds are at the 4 leaf stage. | Do NOT use a surfactant. Some twisting of the peas may occur, but the crop will grow out of this. |
