How it works

Pre-seeding

• BANVEL II can be tank-mixed with Roundup and used as a pre-seeding burndown for improved control of wild buckwheat and other hard-to-kill broadleaf weeds.
• This combination provides a more consistent burndown of broadleaf weeds than Roundup alone at 0.5 L/ac.
• And, it's safe to plant cereal crops soon after application.

In-crop application

• Tank-mixing BANVEL II with 2,4-D or MCPA amine provides excellent in-crop control of hard-to-kill weeds like wild buckwheat, kochia and Canada thistle.
• It is safe on wheat (durum, winter, spring), barley, oats, spring rye, canary seed and seedling grasses.
• BANVEL II is a valuable tool for weed resistance management.

When to apply

How much to apply

Application should be made 0 to 3 days prior to seeding. The interval between application and seeding should be short because Roundup has no residual control.

*All amines are 500 g/L formulation. **Use the higher rate when treating more mature weeds or dense vegetative growth. Do not apply BANVEL II tank-mixes if the crop is underseeded to legumes.
Other tank-mixes such as Ally, MCPA-K, Sencor and Lexone are available. See label for details.

Mixing Instructions

1. Use a 50 mesh filter screen.
2. Fill tank with one-half of the required amount of clean water and agitate. Agitation should be running during the entire mixing procedure.
3. Add the BANVEL II.
4. If tank-mixing with 2,4-D or MCPA, add the appropriate tank-mix partner now. 5. Add the rest of the water to the spray tank and maintain sufficient agitation during mixing and spraying to ensure a uniform spray mixture.

Application tips

• Grazing restrictions for dairy cattle depend on the rate of BANVEL II used:
  
  

  Rate	Grazing restrictions
  <=1.25 L/ha (0.5 L/ac)	0 days
  1.25 L/ha-2.3 L/ha (0.5-0.9 L/ac)	7 days
  2.3 L/ha-4.6 L/ha (0.9-1.8 L/ac)	14 days
  4.6 - 7.1 L/ha (1.8-2.8 L/ac)	30 days

  
  
• The optimal time to apply BANVEL II on dandelions is early spring or after harvest when the dandelion is in the rosette stage and actively growing.
• BANVEL II is not registered for use on flax.
• For best results, BANVEL II should be applied less than 4 hours before a rainfall.
