GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Pyramin is a herbicide that acts mainly through the roots of weeds which die a few days after they break through the ground. It remains effective for several weeks after application. No chemical residues remain in the soil after the crop has been harvested.
METHOD OF APPLICATION
Apply the product the day of sowing or as soon as possible after planting, but before the crop emerges. Pyramin will not give good weed control ,if soil moisture is inadequate for proper beet germination, in which case irrigate within 10 days. Irrigation after application however, should not surpass 35 mm per week, particularly during cold weather conditions. This product should be applied in a minimum of 110 to 220 litres of water per hectare.
Band treatment
The cost of chemical can be reduced by spraying a band 10 to 20 cm wide over the crop row.
MIXING
Partly fill the spray vat with water. Mix the needed amount of product with a little water to form a cream before adding to water in the spray vat. Then top up to required quantity. Either mechanical or jet agitation is required in the tank for proper mixing. Continue agitation while spraying.
RE-ENTRY PERIOD
DO NOT enter treated areas for 10 days unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT
DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or watercourses with the chemical or used containers.
