Grass Seed - SePRO Ag

OREGON GRASS SEED

A unique HRAC/WSSA Group 12 mode of action
Proven safe on carbon-seeded, spring-planted, and established tall fescue, fine fescue, orchardgrass, and perennial ryegrass
Protects seed purity and reduces need for rescue sprays
Controls resistant Italian ryegrass, and annual bluegrass, roughstalk bluegrass, and rattail fescue
Flexible program timing and tank-mix compatibility
Extended application window up to March 1st
No herbicide residue even at 4X rates

Brake® + Zidua®: Strong foundational control of annual grasses and small-seeded broadleaves.
Brake® + Fierce®: Broader-spectrum, long-term residual annual grass and small-seeded broadleaf control.
Apply before fall irrigation or forecasted rain, ensuring 0.5” activation, ideally in the first 7 days after application.

Apply fall PRE (e.g. Axiom® or Fierce®), then follow with Brake® + POST (e.g. oxyfiuorfen) in Dec. – Jan.
Program approach will help delay or eliminate the need for POST rescue sprays in the spring, saving on trips and labor.

Especially useful in fields with known resistance or heavy weed pressure (e.g. Poa annua).
Do not use Brake® as a standalone residual herbicide in the same field more than two consecutive years.
Brake® tank-mixed with other residual herbicides will reduce the resistance potential.

Maximize Brake Performance
Application Windows	Carbon-Seeded: Apply after seeding but prior to emergence Spring-Planted: Apply as a fall PRE or during winter as an overlapping residual Established: Apply as a fall PRE or during winter as an overlapping residual
Suggested Brake Rate	32 fl oz/acre is the recommended starting rate Extend the longevity of fall PRE applications by tank-mixing with another residual(s) (e.g. Zidua®)
Spray Tips	Brake® does not have postemergence activity. If weeds have germinated prior to application, tank-mix Brake® with a POST herbicide that is effective at controlling the target weed species and labeled for the intended use. Do not apply more than 43 fl oz Brake® in a single application Do not apply more than 43 fl oz Brake® in a single crop year (harvest to harvest) Do not mix with drift agents containing polyacrylamide
Irrigation or Rainfall Activation (within 7 days of application)	0.5” irrigation or rainfall More is better — Brake® is stable on soil surface and not degraded by sunlight Brake® does not leach and performs better in moist soil conditions
Following Brake Applications	Brake® begins working preemergence to control weed flushes Germinating weed seedlings will bleach and die with effective activation Applying a winter overlapping residual following fall applied Brake® OR using Brake® as a winter overlapping residual will reduce the need for POST rescue sprays

Practice	Why It Matters?
Activating Rainfall/Irrigation	Brake® needs 0.5” of rainfall or irrigation in the first 7 days after application to activate. Consistent rainfall or irrigation to keep the soil moist will extend the longevity of residual control.
Tank-Mixing with Other Residual Herbicides	Brake® is compatible with other herbicides labeled for grass seed crops. Tank-mixing Brake® with other residual herbicides has been proven to broaden weed spectrum and extend the longevity of residual control during dry periods.
Use a Herbicide Program	Brake® herbicide programs that contain overlapping residuals will provide the most consistent control of annual grasses and small-seeded broadleaves.
Tank-mix Smart	Pair with another PRE for broad-spectrum residual control.
Follow Label	Apply Brake® when grass is dormant or semi-dormant. Applications after March 1st may result in minor injury.
Don’t Use as a Standalone Residual	Do not apply Brake® alone to the same field more than two years in a row. Brake® tank-mixes can be applied for more than two years in a row.
