Classification : Group A Herbicide
For the control of certain grass weeds in Soyabeans, beetroot, cabbage, canola, celery, chickpeas, cotton, faba beans, field peas, forestry, lentils, lupins, lettuce, mung beans, non-bearing fruit trees, onions, ornamentals, peanuts, potatoes.
Restraints:
- DO NOT apply without the addition of an adjuvant.
- DO NOT apply to plants that are stressed by moisture or temperature extremes.
- DO NOT apply if rain is expected within a one hour of application.
- DO NOT apply CRONUS 240 Herbicide more than once to any one crop.
Ground Application:
CRONUS 240 Herbicide should be applied with calibrated spray equipment producing a median droplet range of 200 to 300 micron VMD. Apply in a minimum of 120 litres of water per hectare. Use 150 L/ha when spraying dense populations.
Aerial Application:
CRONUS 240 Herbicide can be applied through aircraft fitted with boom or Micron air equipment. A spray volume of 5 to 75 L/ha is recommended and equipment should be adjusted to deliver droplets in the range of 200 to 250 micron (VMD). Best results will be obtained when aerial applications are made in a light crosswind. Applications should not be made during temperature inversions or in conditions of very low relative humidity. Care should be taken to avoid drift damage to adjoining grass crops.

Barnyard grass (Echinochloa spp.) Blown grass (Agrostis aveacea) Crowsfoot grass (Eleusine indica) Feathertop Rhodes grass (Chloris virgata) Liverseed grass (Urochloa panicoides) Red Spangletop grass (Leptochloa filiformis) Seedling Johnson grass (Sorghum halepense) Summer grass (Digitaria spp.) Volunteer Sorghum (Sorghum spp.) | 1L/Ha | 2 to 5 leaf stage |
Ornamentals and Trees
- While CRONUS 240 Herbicide is generally selective to broadleaf plants (i.e. it is active against grasses), tests should always be made on a small number of plants not previously tested.
- DO NOT use on Gymnosperms (pines, conifers etc.) unless a prior test has been conducted to check safety on the relevant species.
