|
 Recommended for the control of annual and perennial grasses and broad-leaved weeds in amenity and industrial areas, parks, highways, paved areas and factory sites. Hilite can also be used in forestry and horticultural ornamentals and for clearing vegetation prior to planting trees or bushes and as a directed spray around the base of trees or shrubs. |
Hilite is absorbed by the foliage of plants and translocated to their root systems. Hilite herbicide is rapidly inactivated and degraded by micro-organisms in the soil. . |
|
Annual grasses and broad-leaved weeds should have at least 5 cm of leaf, or 2 expanded true leaves respectively at the time of application. Common couch reaches the susceptible stage of growth when tillering and new rhizome growth commence, which usually occurs when plants have 4-5 leaves. The majority of perennial broad-leaved weeds are most susceptible if treated when they are actively growing, at or near flowering but before the onset of natural or enforced die-back. It is important that all weeds are at the correct growth stage when treated, otherwise some re-growth may occur and this will need re-treatment. Application of lime, fertiliser, organic manure and pesticides should be delayed until 5 days after application of HILITE. |
 Hilite should only be applied through a Nomix CDA applicator. Do not decant Hilite from the original container. Shake the pack very thoroughly and connect directly to the Nomix applicator according to the directions in the instruction manual. |
 The small square disc should be used where the spray width required is less than 60 cm e.g. shrub beds and confined areas. The narrow swath is also appropriate for application where accuracy is required, e.g. to pavement edges, obstacles (e.g. around trees, fence lines, gravestones) or for spot treatment of paved areas. Use of spray widths less than 30 cm may result in a reduced level of control. The large serrated disc should be used where wide swaths are required e.g. extensive paved areas, and prior to planting shrubs. When using the square spinner at narrow settings of less than 60 cm care should be taken that the spray quality is adequate to ensure small weeds receive the spray. The disc should be held low over the foliage, so that the rotation speed must be increased to achieve the desired swath width. This results in better atomisation and cover of foliage. Hilite can also be applied through a Nomix Kerb Spraying Unit (KSU) for the control of kerb side weeds. |
 General weed control: 10.0 litres / ha Annual weeds: 7.5 litres / ha |
 HILITE can be used as a direct spray around the base of trees and bushes. Avoid contact of the spray with the trees and bushes - using the square disc on a 22.5 - 45 cm setting will allow accurate placement of the spray and minimise drift potential. |
 Hilite can be used to control grasses and broad-leaved weeds before planting trees or as a directed spray to treat around the base of trees. Other weeds such as heather and woody weeds will be controlled provided they have not become too tall to be easily treated using the Nomix lance. Care should be taken to avoid contact with tree foliage or the stem of young trees. A droplet size should be chosen which is visible and can be directed precisely. A weed free spot around the base of the tree will improve the establishment and growth rate. Using a spot diameter of 1.2m, a 5 litre pack will treat up to 4,425 trees at the 10l/ha rate and over 5,500 trees at the 7.5/lha rate. |
Trees planted on roadsides, in streets, in parks and landscaped areas and in amenity woodland Hilite can be used to control weeds growing amongst trees or shrubs in amenity plantings. Avoid contact of the spray with the foliage or stem of the tree, particularly any sucker growth, by carefully directing the spray. Mature trees in parks and streets |
 Before planting Vegetation should be cleared before planting hedges by applying Hilite in suitable conditions during the autumn before planting. After planting |
  Hilite controls most emerged grasses and broad-leaved weeds. However it is important that all weeds are at the correct growth stage when treated otherwise some regrowth may occur necessitating re-treatment. Hilite will not give adequate control of Horsetails (Equisetum arvense). |
 Leaf symptoms on treated weeds appear between 7 to 10 days in warm conditions, however, in cold conditions, this can take up to 20 days or more. Leaf symptoms, a reddening followed by yellowing of the foliage, usually appear first on grasses then later on broad-leaved weeds; nettles are extremely slow to show symptoms. |
 Independent trials have shown Hilite to be rainfast after 30 minutes. If rainfall occurs too soon after treatment final weed control may be reduced and re-treatment may be necessary. Do not spray this product onto weeds suffering drought stress, waterlogging, heat or frost which prevent active regrowth and lead to weed die-back, otherwise the level of control will be reduced. Under normal weather conditions the Nomix Weed Control System does not result in spray drift. However, in windy conditions, some sideways displacement may occur, particularly when the large serrated disc is used. Spraying is not recommended in these conditions. |
 For maximum weed control, the sprayed area should remain undisturbed for 7 days after application to enable the product to be fully translocated throughout the weeds. In cold conditions, await leaf symptoms before starting any cultivation or planting. Hilite is not residual in the soil. |
