Celadon – Herbicide 2L

Celadon Selective Herbicide – PCS 06610

Active substances: 2.5 g/L florasulam and 100 g/L fluroxypyr

Celadon Useage Instructions

Suitable for areas of use such as: Tees, Fairways, Stadia Pitches, Sports Pitches, Outfields, Racecourses/Gallops, Lawns

Where to use:

• Amenity grassland: Areas of semi-natural or planted
  grassland subject to minimal or nonintensive management including golf roughs, airfields and predominantly grassed railway embankments and roadside verges.
• Lawns: Any areas composed primarily of close
  mown grass, including such areas in
  private gardens.
• Managed amenity turf: Areas of frequently mown, intensively
  managed turf, including fields being used for turf production. May include
  areas for public use including all types of sports turf, golf greens, tees and
  fairways.

When to use:

• Can be applied March – October
• Apply when weeds are actively growing and soil is moist
• Ensure newly sown turf has become established before use:
  • Turf sown in spring or summer can be treated at or after the two leaf stage (usually two months)
  • Turn sown in late summer or autumn should not be treated until growth has resumed the following spring

How to use:

1. Add half the required water to the spray tank
2. Add the required amount of Celadon to the spray tank
3. Agitate the spray tank to ensure thorough mixing
4. Top-up the spray tank with water to the required level

• Grass clippings can be safely used as mulch after the third cut following application

• Do not allow to come into contact with non-target plants

Active Substances

Florasulam

Bio-Chemical Mode of Action: Florasulam belongs to the ALS (Acetolactate Synthase) Inhibitors group of herbicides. Acetolactate synthase is an important enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids. ALS inhibitors interrupt this process causing the plant to initially become chlorotic before necrosis of plant tissues followed by whole plant death occurs.

Mobility: Florasulam is absorbed through both the shoots and roots of plants. It is a systemic penetrant which means that the active substance can be translocated downwards through the plant within the phloem (sugar conducting tissues) and upwards through the plant within the xylem (water conducting tissues).

Application Timing: ALS inhibitors are best applied when the weeds are actively growing. They are more effective when target plants are young and in their vegetative phases.

Fluroxypyr

Bio-Chemical Mode of Action: Fluroxypyr belongs to the synthetic auxin or plant growth regulator group of herbicides. Synthetic auxins work by inducing rapid abnormal cell growth and development in the stems, petioles and leaves of susceptible plants causing cell bursts and ultimately cell and plant death.

Mobility: Fluroxypyr is absorbed through the shoots of a plant. It is a systemic penetrant which means that the active substance can be translocated downwards through the plant within the phloem (sugar conducting tissues) and upwards through the plant within the xylem (water conducting tissues).

Application Timing: Synthetic auxins are best applied when the weeds are actively growing. They are generally more effective when target plants are younger and in their vegetative phases.
