Lagon Herbicide (Isoxaflutole + Aclonifen)

Lagon is a pre-emergence herbicide for maize and sweet corn. It combines isoxaflutole (isoxazole group) and aclonifen (diphenyl ether group) in a suspension concentrate. You spray it on moist, level soil just after planting, before the seeds sprout. It controls annual grasses and broadleaf weeds as they emerge, giving the crop a clean start. It breaks down in the soil, so it does not limit your choice of the next crop. Check the label for the strength.

How to use

Apply to level, moist soil after sowing and before the crop sprouts: within 3 days of planting for maize and 2 days for sweet corn. Use the rate on the label.

• Fill the sprayer three-quarters with water, shake the bottle, add the dose, top up and mix.
• Shake the sprayer gently while spraying.
• Use a cone nozzle for even coverage.
• Do not spray in windy weather; drift can damage nearby crops.

Tips for best results

• Do not use on soils with more than 70% sand or less than 2% organic matter. Crop injury risk is higher there.
• Plant seeds at a good depth; sweet corn is more sensitive.
• Clear standing weeds with glyphosate before planting.

Safety

• Read and follow the product label before use. The label rate is the legal and correct rate.
• Wear gloves, boots, long sleeves and a face mask or shield when mixing and spraying.
• Do not eat, drink or smoke while spraying. Wash hands and face after use.
• Keep away from children, food and animal feed. Store in the original container in a cool, dry, locked place.
• Do not wash sprayers or empty containers in streams, wells or fish ponds.
