Metribuzin and Potatoes

I think there is a recommendation for metribuzin on winter wheat now, as part of a black grass programme, along with the kitchen sinkšŸ˜œ
They tell me a sniff of metribuzin added to Titus helps it along nicely, even on semi sensitive varieties like Markies.

0.1 kg/ha with Titus was a recommended mixture when Titus was held by Du Pont - you will find it in the Du Pont product manuals from the 1990s. Improves efficacy. I still use the mixture. OK on Markies. Potato Council and AHDB potatoes ran trials with mixture on a range of varieties. Including the sensitive ones. Seemed OK sort of. I have used the mixture on M Piper about 8cm tall - transient yellowing. Clearly not a recommendation - just the wild ramblings of a fella on internet forum.
