Why Shadow®?
Shadow® is an oilseed rape herbicide with excellent residual activity on a wide range of weeds. Shadow® can be applied pre or post-emergence of the crop. For optimum activity, apply pre-emergence or early post-emergence of the weeds.
The combination of three active ingredients in Shadow®, dimethenamid-p, metazachlor and quinmerac, means that weed control is more consistently achieved, since uptake happens at three points: the root, the shoot and the leaf. Optimum results are obtained from applications made to fine, firm and moist seedbeds.
In terms of application, on light soils, a split dose of product is recommended: 1.5l/ha pre-emergence of crop followed by 1.0l/ha post-emergence of the crop. A split dose will give more prolonged poppy control than full dose pre-emergence.
