Yes, because both picolinafen and flufenacet decompose in the soil during the growing season. Thanks to this, they do not pose a threat to subsequent plants.

What are the recommendations when using potable liquid made with Pontos?

    The recommended doses of the agent depend on the compactness of the soil and the type of weed infestation.
    Use lower doses on lighter soils and higher doses on heavy soils with a higher content of humus.
    On some cereals or varieties, the use of the product may cause phytotoxicity symptoms, including discoloration. These symptoms are transient and do not affect yielding.
    Do not mix the agent with the soil.
    − on light, sandy soils, poor in humus, stony, as well as flooded with water or susceptible to flooding
    − in the case of seed sowing shallower than 2.5 cm due to the possibility of plant damage
    − in the event of forecasted heavy rainfall and in periods of frost or frost. Treatment in such conditions may contribute to inhibition of growth and the appearance of phytotoxicity symptoms on the protected cereal, including discoloration. However, these symptoms are transient and should not affect the yield
    − on plantations under stress conditions, caused by e.g. by the occurrence of diseases and pests, flooding with water, previous chemical treatments or inappropriate soil conditions that hinder germination and growth.
    − drift of spray liquid onto neighboring crops, with a buffer zone of 1 m wide from adjacent crop fields being recommended, especially during plant emergence,
    − overlapping of the usable liquid at the joints of treatment strips and headlands.
