How it Works
Attain herbicide tank mix is non-residual. The components of OcTTain XL tank mix move within the plant to
control exposed and underground plant tissue. It mimics naturally occurring plant hormones and controls weeds by
disrupting normal plant growth patterns. Symptoms include twisting of stems and swollen nodes.
Expected Results
Broadleaf weeds: Weeds start to twist shortly after spraying. After twisting and bending, plants stop growing, turn
brown and die.
Restrictions
Rainfall
:
Do not apply if rain is expected in 1 hour.
Grazing
:
Do not permit lactating dairy animals to graze fields within 7 days after application. Do not harvest forage
or cut for hay within 30 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days prior to
slaughter.
Pre-harvest Interval
:
Do not harvest the treated mature crop within 60 days after application.
Re-cropping
:
Fields treated with OcTTAin XL herbicide tank mix can be seeded the following year to barley, canola,
flax, forage grasses, lentils, mustard, oats, peas, rye, wheat or summerfallowed. Do not seed crops other than those
listed above for at least one year following treatment.
Environmental Precautions
Overspray or drift to important wildlife habitats, such as ponds, wetlands, streams, woodlots and shelterbelts, should
be avoided. A 15 metre buffer zone should be established between areas to be sprayed and aquatic environments or
terrestrial habitats listed above.
Runoff
:
Under certain conditions, OcTTain XL has the potential to run off from treated areas. To reduce runoff
from treated areas into aquatic habitats, consider the characteristics and conditions of the site before treatment. Site
characteristics and conditions that may lead to runoff include, but are not limited to, heavy rainfall, moderate to steep
slope, bare soil and poorly draining soil (e.g. soils that are compacted, fine textured, or low in organic matter such
as clay). Avoid application of this product when heavy rain is forecast. Contamination of aquatic areas as a result
of runoff may be reduced by including a vegetative strip (buffer zone) between the treated area and the edge of the
water body.
Toxicity
2,4-
