When and with what to treat

Registered against a group this species belongs to. Check the label · 1

No rate and no spray timing here: both come from the label and the register.

Agronomy: Taking the development of this root-sprouting weed from seed as an example: for 2–3 months after emergence the plants do not form a sufficiently strong root system, so they are fairly easy to destroy during soil cultivation.

Life form: A perennial weed. It is one of the weeds that mainly infest spring cereal crops.
It belongs to the thistles, which are perennial geophytes. In winter wheat crops their above-ground part dies off when frosts set in.
A perennial root-sprouting weed. It often infests oilseed rape crops, in particular winter oilseed rape.
It belongs to the segetal-ruderal weeds, meaning it occurs both in fields and outside them, but more often in fields.
60–70 % of the root system is located in the 0–40 cm soil layer.
In the final, fourth period of the year, stems that have formed seed or have been damaged by frost die. They die back to the depth of the root they were attached to.
A root-sprouting weed. In terms of how well its parts take root, it belongs to the group with low establishment.
This is a root-sprouting weed. It is one of the most abundant weeds, which as a rule are present in all fields.
Seed in the soil: Freshly ripened seeds germinate poorly after ripening.
Where it is found: In the Forest-Steppe, creeping thistle is a harmful weed in maize crops.
In the Steppe, thistles are widespread in maize crops on irrigated land.
