Aramo 50 EC, 1 liter

Use: Amaro is a systemic herbicide for the post-emergence control of a range of grass weeds, including black-grass, annual meadow-grass, wild-oats, sterile brome and common couch as well as cereal volunteers.
Formulation: An emulsifiable concentrate containing 50 g/litre (5.3% w/w) Tepraloxydim.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: Aramo is a systemic herbicide for the post-emergence control of a range of grass
weeds, including black-grass, annual meadow-grass, wild oats, sterile brome and common couch as well as cereal volunteers.
Only weeds which have emerged at the time of application will be controlled. The optimum timing is when weeds are small (before tillering) and have not yet begun to compete with the crop. This is particularly important when blackgrass is the main target weed and resistance may be suspected.
This product is absorbed by the leaves of grass weeds and is translocated through the plant to the growing point at the base of the plant resulting in stem and root tissue decay. Foliar death is visible 3-4 weeks after application under warm moist conditions. Cool conditions will slow down activity and very dry conditions will inhibit translocation of the herbicide to the growing point, resulting in reduced activity.
Aramo can be used on all soil types. 

Common Couch
Sufficient foliage should have emerged to absorb the spray. Shoots not emerged or just emerging at application will not be controlled.
DO NOT cultivate for at least 14 days after application to allow time for translocation to occur. Leave a longer interval (up to 21 days) if growing conditions are poor. Aramo gives control of top growth of common couch at this rate. To improve suppression of established couch, a thorough pre-planting cultivation to a depth of 10 cms is recommended to fragment the rhizomes and encourage uniform Emergence. The effects on the long-term control of couch, i.e. in succeeding crops, has not been investigated.

CROPS
Sugar Beet and Fodder Beet
Aramo can be applied from when the crop has fully expanded cotyledons to before row closure.
Winter Oilseed rape (including industrial oilseed rape) it can be applied to winter oilseed rape from cotyledon fully expanded up to before the end of November or before the crop has 9 true leaves, whichever occurs first. Do not use more than 1.0 litres per hectare.
Linseed and Flax
Aramo can be applied in the spring to linseed and flax from when the crop has 2 true leaves up to before flower buds are visible within the crop.
Combining and Vining Peas
It can be applied in the spring to all varieties of combining and vining peas from the two node stage of the crop until before the crop canopy prevents adequate spray penetration. A satisfactory leaf wax test using crystal violet marker dye must be performed before applying Aramo in peas. Applications may only be made to winter pea varieties in the spring. 

MIXING AND SPRAYING
Half-fill the spray tank with clean water and start the agitation. Shake the container well before use and pour in the required amount of product. Rinse any empty containers thoroughly and add rinsings to the spray tank. Add the remaining water and continue agitation until spraying is completed. All applications should be made as a fine or medium spray as defined by BCPC.
Applications should be made in water volumes of 100 - 200 litres per hectare. Aramo does not require the addition of an adjuvant oil.

CONTAINER AND STORAGE
Aramo is supplied in 5 litre containers and should be kept dry and frostproof in a suitable pesticide store.
