  • Gets your crop off to the best start possible 
  • Quickly absorbed for fast control of key broadleaf weeds 
  • Group 14 chemistry controls tough weeds, including those resistant to glyphosate, triazine and Group 2 herbicides to complement and improve glyphosate application

 

One case contains:

  • 1 x 1.182 L jug of Eragon LQ herbicide
  • 2 x 8.1 L jugs of Merge adjuvant

 

Also available as a tote:

  • 4 x 7.39 L jugs of Eragon LQ

HARVEST AID & DESICCANT

Crops

applicable on - canola

Canola

applicable on - soybeans

Soybeans

applicable on - wheat

Wheat

  • Dry beans
  • Barley
  • Triticale

Benefits

  • Fast, complete dry down of dry beans and soybeans with reduced risk of regrowth
  • Broad-spectrum activity and improved weed dry down
  • Improved crop uniformity for a more efficient harvest
  • Tank mixed with glyphosate for multiple modes of action in managing weeds resistant to glyphosate, triazine and Group 2 herbicides
  • Tank mixed with glyphosate to control fall perennials for cleaner fields in the next crop

Application Tips

Pre-harvest

  • Rainfastness – Eragon Plus is very rainfast and is limited by the formulation of glyphosate used. 

 

Pre-harvest interval

  • 2 days after application for dry beans and 3 days after application for all other labelled crops.
  • 7 days after application if tank mixed with glyphosate.

When to Apply

 

Crops Staging

Harvest aid and desiccant

Canola (all types)

Apply when 75% of seeds have changed colour. Canola timing for application cannot be determined by pod colour. Pods must be opened to determine the amount of seed colour change. Canola flowers upwards, so the lowermost pods will contain the first mature seeds, while the upper pods will contain the last maturing seeds. Seeds on the bottom 2/3 to 3/4 of the plant will have changed from green to dark brown or black in canola.

Dry beans1

Apply when 90% of the pods have changed colour from green to yellow and/or light brown, 80 to 90% of original leaves have dropped and stems are green to brown in colour. Pods on the lower canopy mature first, so the few remaining green pods will be located in the top canopy.

Soybeans

Apply when 90% of the pods have changed colour, with lower pods essentially being all brown and the upper pods a yellowish-brown or gray in some varieties.  At this point 80% of leaves should have dropped with the remaining leaves being yellow.

Pre-harvest weed management

Barley           

Triticale

Hard dough stage with less than 30% moisture. A thumbnail impression remains on seed.

Wheat (durum, spring, winter)

With the peduncle colour change, the peduncle being the upper internode of the stem that carries the spike, look for the change from green to yellow as a good indicator of maturity. 

 

1 When tank mixed with glyphosate, consult glyphosate label or your BASF AgSolutions® Retail Representative for information regarding use on specific varieties of dry beans.

How Much to Apply

Pre-harvest

One case treats 20 to 40 acres. One tote treats 500 to 1,000 acres.

 

Eragon LQ   

30 to 59 ml/ac (73 to 146 ml/ha)

Merge adjuvant

400 to 800 ml/ac (1.0 to 2.0 L/ha)

 

Water volume

Ground application - harvest aid and pre-harvest weed control 

Minimum 80 L/ac 

 

Mixing order

  1. Fill clean spray tank 1/2 full of clean water and start agitation.
  2. Using a calibrated measuring device, add the correct amount of Eragon LQ. Continue to agitate.
  3. If tank mix is being applied, add the correct amount of glyphosate while continuing agitation.
  4. Add the correct amount of Merge to the tank last.
  5. Continue agitation while adding the remaining amount of water.

Application Tips

Pre-plant/pre-emergence

  • Rainfastness – Eragon Plus is very rainfast and is limited by the formulation of glyphosate used. 
  • Use a minimum water volume of 40 L/ac (10 gal/ac). If weeds are large or densities are high, use a water volume of 80 L/ac (20 gal/ac).

 

Pre-harvest interval

  • 60 days for all pre-plant and pre-emergent applications.
  • See label for forage, hay, silage and grazing restrictions.
