Leystar®

Herbicide

Leystar® is a selective herbicide for use in newly sown leys, established grassland, grass for seed, forage maize, cereals and cereals under/sown with grass. 
 
Leystar is much valued by grassland farmers for its wide weed spectrum, including chickweed, seedling docks and thistles and for its good grass safety when used on newly sown leys. Leystar can also be used in maize and grass grown for seed.

Application Advice

 

Grass

  • For best results apply to weeds which are small and actively growing
  • Broad-leaved weeds not present at application will not be controlled
  • Allow an interval of 4 weeks after application before cutting grass to optimise the effect of the herbicide
  • Do not use on grassland that will be cut for animal feed, fodder or bedding nor for mulching or composting within 12 months of treatment
  • Do not roll or harrow grass for 10 days before or 7 days after application
  • Do not spray where clover or other legumes are a valuable constituent of the sward
  • Grass seed can be stitched in 1 month after application
  • Clover can be stitched in 3 months after application 
  • Grazing can resume just 7 days after application - this may need to be longer if foliage of poisonous weeds such as ragwort is present
  • To avoid subsequent injury to crops other than grassland and cereals, all spraying equipment must be thoroughly cleaned using All Clear Extra spray cleaner.

 

Maize

  • Apply when maize is between 3-6 leaf stage, and before the crop is over 20 cm tall. Do not apply once the buttress roots have started to develop on the first node.
  • Crops that can be sown in the year of treatment with Leystar to forage maize include: 
  • Cereals, oilseed rape, grass and vegetable brassicas as transplants
  • To protect surface water, do not apply to maize before 10th April
  • To avoid subsequent injury to crops other than grassland and cereals, all spraying equipment must be thoroughly cleaned using All Clear Extra spray cleaner
  • Tank mixes are not supported on maize.

 

Cereals and cereals under sown with grass

  • Leystar can be applied in the spring on all varieties of winter and spring cereals
  • Applications should be made from 1st February once the crop has reached 3 leaves.
