How it works
- The Group 1 active ingredient is absorbed through the leaves and quickly translocated throughout the plant.
- Weeds generally stop growing within two days.
- Weeds should be completely controlled between 7 and 21 days after treatment.
- Quackgrass control is slower. EQUINOX EC is translocated to the rhizomes and kills actively growing rhizome buds and above-ground vegetation.
- The surfactant MERGE® is required and is included in the EQUINOX package.

How much to apply
- One case of EQUINOX treats 40 or 60 acres.
- The rate of MERGE®* is 0.5 L/100 L of spray solution (0.5% spray solution) for optimal performance.
- MERGE Adjuvant is included in the packaging
| Acres | Water required | MERGE required | EQUINOX required |
| 40 | 45.5 L/acre | 8.1 L jug or 0.20 L/acre | 0.081 L/acre |
| 60 | 45.5 L/acre | 8.1 L jug or 0.14 L/acre | 0.054 L/acre |
* MERGE is included in the EQUINOX package.
Application tips
- Maximize performance by applying EQUINOX in warm weather to weeds that are actively growing.
- Thorough coverage of EQUINOX on the foliage is important for consistent grass control.
- Reducing the recommended rate will result in inconsistent weed control.
- EQUINOX is extremely rainfast. Only one hour is required following application.
Tank mixes
When a tank mix is used, consult the labels of the tank mix partners and observe the largest (most restrictive) buffer zone of the products involved in the tank mixture.

|---|
| Imazethapyr and imazamox tolerant canola (varieties with the Clearfield® trait, including Brassica juncea) | 0.054 L/ac | ODYSSEY® | For control of volunteer imazethapyr and imazamox tolerant wheat in addition to other labeled weeds. |
| Field peas | 0.054 L/ac | ODYSSEY | For control of volunteer imazethapyr and imazamox tolerant wheat in addition to other labeled weeds. |
| Flax | 0.054 L/ac | Buctril® M | Some leaf burn and retarded growth may delay crop maturity. Refer to the Buctril M label for use instructions and broadleaf weeds controlled. |
| Flax | 0.054 L/ac | FLAXMAX® | Some leaf burn and retarded growth may delay crop maturity. Refer to the FLAXMAX® label for use instructions and broadleaf weeds controlled. |
| Imazethapyr and imazamox tolerant lentils (varieties with the Clearfield trait) | 0.054 L/ac | ODYSSEY | For control of volunteer imazethapyr and imazamox tolerant wheat in addition to other labeled weeds. |
| LibertyLink® canola | 0.054 L/ac | Liberty 150 SN | Use from emergence to rosette stage (prior to bud and flower formation). Refer to the Liberty 150 SN label for additional recommendations. |
Weeds controlled
Green foxtail
Quackgrass*
Volunteer barley
Volunteer wheat
Wild oats
These weeds are controlled at the 40 to 60 acre/case rate when applied at the 1- to 6-true-leaf stage, up to 2 tillers. When weed densities exceed 45 weeds/m2, use 40 acre/case rate.
*Control only at the 32 acre/case rate when applied at the 3- to 6-true-leaf stage, prior to tillering.
Follow crops
- Allow a minimum of 14 days between application of EQUINOX and the replanting of a cereal or grass crop.
- No other restrictions apply when EQUINOX is sprayed alone.
