Back in the day when you could get Avadex BW it worked an absolute dream on big fat hen in beet that got away from the normal Gotix/ Venzar / Betenal mix that we normally used.

Fast forward to this year. - poor weed control as no moisture for residuals to work. Now would anyone know if Avadex Factor would be the same formulation ? All I know is that it's 450g/l vs 480g/l tri -allate, but not sure whether the formulation would make it more/ less effective or more importantly , murder my beet. Tempted to buy a can and trial it with the knapsack on a small area

That’s good knowledge. @robbie is suffering from fat hen. Be aware it’s probably not legal, for some reason several crops were taken off the label of solid avadex a few years ago when it changed mapp number. Let us know how you get on, you can use the avadex in the autumn anyway.

I looked on omex website the other day. Saltex is the stuff, it would be a slow old job applying it at 2x 500 and something lts/ha.

Does anyone know what it costs?????? Youd need a hell of a lot of ibc's
