WEEDS CONTROLLED
LUPO should be applied when the crop is actively growing and is at the correct growth stage.

Cereals
LUPO applied at 2.5 l/ha will control those annual and perennial weeds listed below.

Newly sown grass leys
When LUPO is applied to newly sown grass at 2.5 l/ha, the seedlings of weeds will be
controlled as indicated in the weeds controlled cereals table.
CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
LUPO should be applied when the crop is actively growing and is at the correct growth stage.
The best results will be obtained if spraying is done while the majority of weeds are at the
seedling stage.
Winter wheat, barley and oats
Dose
2.5 l/ha.
Timing
Apply in the spring after the end of February from the pseudo stem erection stage until before
the first node is detectable. Do not apply in late autumn, winter, during frosty weather or if
frosts are expected following application.
Maximum number of applications
One per crop.
Water volume
200–400 litres of water per hectare. Use the higher rate of in dense stands of cereals, or if weed
growth is dense.
Spring wheat and barley
Dose
2.5 l/ha.
Timing
Apply after the end of February from the five-leaf stage until before the first node is
detectable.
Maximum number of applications
One per crop.
Dose
2.5 l/ha.
Water volume
200–400 litres of water per hectare. Use the higher rate of in dense stands of cereals, or if weed
growth is dense.
Application under very hot conditions at later timings can cause ear damage if the crop comes
under stress at or after application.
Barley is particularly subject to malformation and particular attention must be paid to the
correct growth stage if the crop is intended for malting.
Grassland
Dose
3.5 l/ha.
Maximum number of applications
One per year.
Timing
In late autumn or spring – see weed tables.
Water volume
200–400 litres of water per hectare.
Clovers or other legumes present in the sward will be severely checked, but will eventually
recover.
When applying to local patches of weed great care should be taken to avoid overdosing,
otherwise the grass may be scorched and scorching of weeds may result in poorer control due
to decreased translocation of the herbicide.
Newly sown grass leys
May be applied to newly sown grass leys more than one year old.
Dose
2.5 l/ha.
Timing
In late autumn or spring from the three leaf stage.
Water volume
200–400 litres of water per hectare. Use the higher rate of water in dense stands of cereals, or if
weed growth is dense.
Clovers or other legumes present in the sward will be severely checked, but will eventually
recover.
MIXING AND SPRAYING
Apply as a medium quality spray (as defined by BCPC). A spray pressure of two–three bar is
recommended.
Apply using conventional ground vehicle mounted/drawn equipment. Ensure that all
application equipment is clean. Add half the required volume and start agitation, add the
required quantity of LUPO. Fill the tank to the required volume whilst maintaining agitation.
Continuous agitation must be maintained until spraying is complete. After use, the spraying
machine must be thoroughly cleaned.
Wash equipment thoroughly with water and wetting agent or liquid detergent immediately
after use.
Spray out, fill with clean water and leave overnight. Spray out again before storing or using for
another product. Traces of LUPO can cause harm to susceptible crops sprayed later.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
When herbicides with the same mode of action are used repeatedly over several years in the
same field, selection of resistant biotypes can take place. These can propagate and may
become dominating. A weed species is considered to be resistant to a herbicide if it survives a
correctly-applied treatment at the recommended dose. A strategy for preventing and managing
such resistance should be adopted. This should include integrating herbicides with a
programme of cultural control measures. Guidelines have been produced by the Weed
Resistance Action Group and copies are available from the HGCA, CPA, your distributor, crop
adviser or product manufacturer.
