# BROCHURE - Syngenta Barricade for Turf Use

> Technical Sheet

Ultimate barricade against
pre-emergent weeds that is
exempt from poison scheduling

[Logo: Barricade Herbicide / syngenta.

BARRICADE Turf Herbicide controls a wide range of pre-emergent grassy weeds and
importantly breaks the germination cycle of Poa annua. You can trust BARRICADE to last
for up to 6 months so your application window is more flexible.

BARRICADE binds high in the soil profile ensuring turf roots below the barrier are
not affected and your turf stays in prime condition.

### What BARRICADE offers you:
• Up to six months control with a single application per season with little risk
of herbicide to your turf
• An economical solution for many grassy weeds including African Lovegrass,
Parramatta Grass, Summer Grass, Crab Grass, Crowsfoot Grass and Winter Grass
• Flexible application window – well before weeds germinate
• Exempt from poison scheduling
• Low odour, non-staining formulation with the flexibility to delay wash-in
for a few days if necessary
• A complete couch solution for Poa annua control when mixed with
MONUMENT LIQUID Turf Herbicide

SpraySURE | Accuracy and performance

To achieve great results, accurate application is important.

| Target | Syngenta Nozzle | Optimal Water Rate | Optimal Pressure Range |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Root and soil | XC 08 | > 500 L/ha | 2 to 4 bar |

BARRICADE can deliver up to 6 months residual control. Positioning of applications can be carried out well in advance
of weeds germinating and still deliver season long control.

**Example:** Spring applications for the control of summer grassy weeds like *Digitaria* (Summer Grass and Crab Grass)
and *Eleusine* (Crowsfoot Grass) should ideally be applied around the end of August. Control will last up to the end of
February. Autumn applications for the control of *Poa* (Winter Grass) should ideally be applied around the end of February.
Control will last up to the end of August.

BARRICADE as a pre-emergent herbicide works in the top soil layers. Application targeted towards delivering BARRICADE
close to the soil surface is best suited to ensure optimum results. BARRICADE needs to be washed in within 7 days after application.

| Target Weeds | Rate | SpraySure |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Barnyard Grass, Crab Grass, Crowsfoot Grass, Parramatta Grass, Rat’s Tail Fescue, Summer Grass | 1 to 3 L/ha | So |
| African Lovegrass, Bahia Grass, Kentucky Blue Grass | 2 to 3 L/ha | So |
