Application Info

When to Apply

  • Crop stage:Peas, lentils: Up to 6” vine length
    Chickpeas: Up to 2.5” tall when vines have 1-3 above ground nodes
    Cereals: 2-5 leaf stage
    Weed stage: Apply when weeds are small – 2” in height or diameter

Required Surfactant

  • None required
  • Pre-emergent applications: Under drought conditions, and for improved burndown of small emerged annual weeds, non-ionic surfactant may be added at 0.1% v/v (1L per 100L spray solution)

Water Volume

  • Preplant incorporated: 10 US gallons/acre (40L/acre)
  • Post-emergent:
    Cereals – 10 US gallons/acre (40L/acre)
    Pulses – 18 US gallons/acre (70 L/acre)

Rainfast Period

  • 6 hours

Mixing Instructions

  1. Fill the spray tank 1/2 full of water, start sprayer agitation and continue throughout mixing and application process.
  2. Add the required amount of Meteor and agitate until dissolved.
  3. If required, add correct amount of tank mix partners.
  4. If required, add correct amount of surfactant.
  5. Fill the remainder of the tank with water and apply.
  6. If application is stopped prior to completion, re-suspend spray solution by full agitation prior to commencing spraying again.

Understanding Performance

  • Using lower than recommended water volumes increases the risk of leaf burn
  • Allow at least 4 to 5 days between Meteor application and a grass weed herbicide
  • Crop must be seeded at least 5cm below soil surface.
  • Be aware of soil organic matter levels when applying as special conditions may occur. See label for more detail.
  • Optimal control occurs when applied between 12°C and 24°C during warm moist growing conditions. Crop injury may occur if high temperatures occur within 48 hours of application. Cold, cloudy weather or frost within 3 days of application will also aggravate injury.
  • Typical symptoms (yellowing) generally are usually seen 5-7 days after application. Weeds turn brown and die within 14-16 days.
  • Early application is critical; application past the labelled crop stage can result in severe crop injury
  • Heavy rain after application may result in severe crop injury.
  • Control will be reduced, or crop injury may occur if plants are stressed by lack of moisture, excessive moisture, poor fertility, cold temperatures, or other crop stress factors.
