I’d be like you, worried about it and what it will look like let alone will it yield. I very much doubt it will be an issue and if it is I would expect it to be marginal.

My recommendations were mis read by my operator a few years ago and he applied 1.0 l ha of generic 'Moddus' on a field. Made no difference what so ever.
I now only use genuine Moddus or Tempo and make sure I enlarge the . on the rec sheet.
I now seriously question whether non genuine sprays are actually the best value for money, and for important stuff eg T2 fungicide, I will stick with the main brands.

+1, accidentally applied triple the application rate to headland with T1/ PGR until I suddenly realised wrong nozzles. There was no difference on straw height or yield to the rest of the field. Nice growing year though

If there’s little growth to shorten, then I’d guess the worst effects of the trinexapac will have worn off by the time it eventually rains.
You might well get away with it

Just don't kick the crop, you'll break your foot.

If you do that is it a black mark from red tractor as you have exceeded the recommended dose? Now you have told everyone you can’t really deny it.

Your overlaps will be much shorter, but the rest of the field should be ok I think.
It won't kill it, if the ear was emerging it could have stopped that happening maybe.

Even if you were insured, I expect you'd still have to take it to harvest to figure out what the loss was.

Had a really busy day today, and made my first ever spray cock up,

Was putting some Magphos and amino on my wheat today, and after talking with agronomist a few weeks ago I said send out some teb for the gleam and a bit of moddus or equivalent for a couple of really forward fields.

Anyway decided to leave the PGR ou and just put 0.5 lts of teb a d the Magphosk and amino on,

Little did I know that the moddus was actually tribune in a 5 lt can with a label just like rubric.

So I sprayed one 12.5 ha field with 0.4 lts ha of tribune (MODDUS)

just whag it needed in this drought, why they put it in. 5lt can I do not know always been in 1 lt bottles before.

My fault and really pee'd off with myself
But like my son said, well at least no one died.

Still, it's not Glyphosate. You would be surprised how often that happens.

Reckon you will be fine.

Fair play for letting us all know about it.. far more cathartic than stewing on the mishap..

There is much left to be desired with generics packaging.
Couple of years ago there was a generic Starane and an insecticide in identical containers, with just different coloured caps.
What could possibly go wrong on a farm growing beans?
