Winter Oilseed rape

Use rate & timing: Sequential use in Autumn followed by Spring.

CLAYTON NASCAR may be used in an autumn / spring sequence to regulate crop growth going into winter; and shorten the crop and manipulate canopy structure in the spring, reducing the risk of lodging later in the season. Use of this sequence is only recommended on forward crops.

Apply CLAYTON NASCAR at 1.4 L/ha in the autumn between growth stages 14-19 of the crop (4-9 leaves) and follow up with a second application of 1.4 L/ha in the spring between growth stages 31-59 of the crop (beginning of stem extension to yellow bud). Autumn applications should only be made to forward crops. Both autumn and spring applications should only be made when crops are actively growing and conditions remain conducive to continued growth. Applications made after crop growth has started to slow in the autumn will be less effective
