I am with a new man this year.
He had me use nivarna mixed with Challenge (which is maybe not available in uk?). Have you ever tried that?

We used to use this, sometimes two and two sometimes two and three , its just too bloody expensive if you follow up with kerb its belt and braces and some more. It had better be clean as you are spending 80+ euros in one hit.

What is the active ingredient in Challenge. Nirvana I presume is BASF same as in UK Imazamox + Pendimethalin.

Ah, Aclonifen. Available here but approved only for use in Potatoes, some root veg such as onions, carrots, parsnips and winter wheat.

Your Nirvana 3 lts + Aclonifen 2 lts would cost non service here about £72 hectare


We now have environmental taxes on top (to annoy my wife I call them « the empty shelves tax ») which on some products come to 50% of the product. Do you have them in the uk yet

When he came up with this challenge, I thought I remembered using it on leeks in my leek days. It was a long time ago. Did it used to be available in this name in uk? My leek days were in a different millennium...

Don't think it was available but I have never been involved with Leeks. Cheers.

Alconifen is now legal for cereals use in the UK but not as far as I am aware Beans. Bayer product is called Proclus.

The pollution tax on czechmate's mix comes to about 15 euros a hectare. Its all part of the big french plan to make us all organic.

Agronomists are banned from selling here, so the concept of serviced or non serviced doesn't happen. If you sell chemicals you can't offer advice legally.

id like to be proved wrong. please someone else try it.
I fancy trying a tramline with it ( away from the neighbour's view). However, even if it works it is still off label and therefore illegal so it won't become something I'd want to be doing too often.
There must be a reason why the manufacturers only register it as pre em.

but as said, apply it 27 miles across the Channel and its legal and works apparently. Queer.
