Titus®
Titus is the mainstay of early season post emergence weed control in potatoes. Typically applied when weeds break through residual programmes or germinate late. Best control is achieved when weeds are small and actively growing (between 2-4 true leaves). Titus has activity on a wide range of difficult broad-leaved weeds, such as cleavers, chickweed, redshank, mayweed, brassica weeds and volunteer oilseed rape. It also has some excellent activity on some grasses, notably couch.
Formulation: 250 g/kg rimsulfuron
Application timing: in the spring pre-emergence of the crop up until the crop is 25 cm high. Best control is achieved when weeds are small and actively growing (cotyledon to 2 true leaves).
Application method: Sprayer
Key benefits:
- Suitable for use on all potato varieties excluding seed crops.
- Broad spectrum of activity including difficult broad-leaved weeds and grasses.
- It can be tank-mixed with metribuzin (on metribuzin tolerant varieties only), for improved control of knotgrass, fat hen and speedwells. However, mixtures with metribuzin will be antagonistic in terms of cleaver control.
- Use Vivolt at 0.1% v/v when applied alone or in a tank-mix.
