# BROCHURE - Syngenta Casper Herbicide - 010119

> Technical Sheet

# The wide spectrum broadleaf weed specialist

CASPER Turf Herbicide is a clever combination of two active ingredients that together deliver more than either could in isolation. Prosulfuron is new to the turf industry and has been combined with the trusted herbicide dicamba to deliver highly effective control of many broadleaf weeds.

## What CASPER offers you:

* A broad spectrum selective post emergence herbicide for turf that is highly effective in controlling broadleaf weeds
* A convenient water dispersible granular formulation with economical rates and in a convenient 1 kg container making it easy to handle and mix
* Complete weed solution for turf in combination with BARRICADE Turf Herbicide and MONUMENT LIQUID Turf Herbicide
* Quick systemic action (xylem) with root, shoot and leaf uptake

# SpraySURE | Accuracy and Performance

To achieve great results, accurate application is important.

| Target | Syngenta Nozzle | Optimal Water Rate | Optimal Pressure Range |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Leaf and crown | F XC 04 | 400 to 800 L/ha | 2 to 4 bar |

F = Foliar applied So = Soil applied Su = Surfactant required

CASPER delivers high levels of control with follow up applications only needed if significant seed germination occurs after application.

**Example:** Convenient rate ranges (0.6 to 1.2 kg/ha) for different weeds ensures flexibility and economy. Applications to control weeds should ideally be made when they are still actively growing and not towards the end of the growing cycle when plants are alive but not actively growing.

**Active weed growth = Systemic xylem and phloem movement essential for systemic herbicide action**

CASPER as a post-emergent herbicide is taken up by leaves, shoots and roots of target weeds. Application targeted towards delivering CASPER to thoroughly cover the leaves and shoots is best. Always apply with a non-ionic surfactant. CASPER can be washed off the leaves and into the soil to promote root uptake for complete systemic action.

| Target Weeds | Rate | SpraySure |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Blackberry Nightshade, Catsear, Chickweed, Creeping Oxalis, Curled Dock, Khaki Weed, Milk Thistle | 600 to 800 g/ha | F Su |
| Bindii, Burr Medic, Cotula, Dandelion, Fleabane, Lambs Tongue/Plantain, Subterranean Clover, Wireweed | 800 g to 1 kg/ha | F Su |
| Pennywort, White Clover | 1 to 1.2 kg/ha | F Su |

Refer to the registered label for full details and instructions for use.
