Carrot herbicides, aclinofen.

[Stuart J]

Morning everyone.

I was wondering if any kind carrot grower would be willing to share their herbicide schedule with me?
I only grow a few beds but weeds are persistently a problem! Always wondered how pro growers keep them so clean!

Will you be using Emerger this year? (Aclinofen)

 

[ridger]

Last time I grew them I worked with a 'stale seedbed' that is to say make the beds and wait til weeds come and spray them off, wait again til more weeds come and spray them off, then sow then use a pre emergent can't remember it's name but nightjar rings a bell

Yeah that's my main problem.

No linuron last year so it was stomp and gamit, then multiple doses of sencorex, along with band spraying and hand weeding.
This year for some emerger to try along with the stomp or mixing dff in.

How much Gamit do you get off with? 0.2?

Stomp Aqua 2.9 L/ha + Gamit 125 ml/ha + Emerged 1.75 L/ha + DFF 125 ml/ha - all applied pre-em .

Using Sencorex post-em - 100 ml/ha for every true leaf on the carrot - 2 true leaves = 200 ml/ha Sencorex .

Also Gamit has post-em use now to and can do 83 ml/ha say at 1-2 true leaves .

Bayer only bringing in a limited volume of Emerger this year as a test market. So ask your supplier to get you a can quickly.
