The ultimate Headstart
Headstart has become a trusted option for broadleaf weed control in pasture, clover, clover seed crops, lucerne and chicory.
Over several seasons Headstart has become a trusted option for broadleaf weed control in pasture, clover, clover seed crops, lucerne and chicory.
Now it can be used for applications in new crops of ryegrass and clover at any time after planting, and in cereals (wheat and barley) any time after planting up to the end of tillering.
Pre-emergence applications of Headstart are effective for early weed control, even before weeds emerge. This gives growers options to go earlier than normal, providing a longer spray window. It is particularly effective on more difficult weed species which require earlier intervention for best control.
It is therefore not necessary to wait for a specific growth stage in the crop to ensure adequate crop safety, as is the case with other herbicides. This is especially important in situations where there are mixed crop emergences within the paddock, but the weeds are up and growing fast.
Headstart Oleo formulation is based on the highly effective systemic active flumetsulam, which is rapidly taken up in the roots and foliage of target weeds. Registered tolerant crop species metabolise this active, rendering it safe.
Arxada’s in-house formulation team developed Headstart in New Zealand. It is based on Arxada’s patented Oleo technology as an oil-dispersion adjuvant-ready liquid formulation.
