About Leystar®

Benefits

Grassland

Best use advice - Grass

•  For best results apply to weeds which are small and actively growing
•  Broad-leaved weeds not present at application will not be controlled
•  Allow an interval of 4 weeks after application before cutting grass to optimise the effect of the herbicide
•  Do not roll or harrow grass for 10 days before or 7 days after application
•  Do not spray where clover or other legumes are a valuable constituent of the sward
•  Grass seed can be stitched in 1 month after application
•  Clover can be stitched in 3 months after application
•  Grazing can resume just 7 days after application
– This may need to be longer if foliage of poisonous weeds such as ragwort is present
•  To avoid subsequent injury to crops other than grassland and cereals, all spraying equipment must be thoroughly cleaned using All Clear Extra spray cleaner

 

Maize

Best use advice - Maize

•  Apply when maize is between 3-6 leaf stage, and before the crop is over 20 cm tall. Do not apply once the buttress roots have started to develop on the first node.
•  Crops that can be sown in the year of treatment with Leystar to forage maize include:
– Cereals, oilseed rape, grass and vegetable brassicas as transplants
•  To protect surface water, do not apply to maize before 10th April
•  To avoid subsequent injury to crops other than grassland and cereals, all spraying equipment must be thoroughly cleaned using All Clear Extra spray cleaner
•  Tank mixes are not supported on maize

 

Cereals and Cereals Undersown With Grass

• Leystar can be applied in the spring on all varieties of winter and spring cereal
