Resistance Warning:
Overwatch Herbicide is a member of the isoxazolidinone group of
herbicides. For weed
resistance management this is a Group Q Herbicide. Some naturally
occurring weed
biotypes resistant to Group Q herbicides may exist through normal
genetic variability in any
weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the
weed population
if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will
not be controlled by
Overwatch Herbicide or Group Q herbicides.
Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior
to use, FMC accepts no
liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Overwatch
Herbicide to control the
resistant weeds.
Advice as to strategies and alternative treatments that can be used
should be obtained
from your local supplier, consultant, local Departments of Agriculture
or Primary Industries,
or FMC representative.
To prolong the development of weed resistance it is strongly advised
that growers use
Overwatch Herbicide as a part of an integrated weed management (IWM)
program.
Such programs incorporate different methods of weed management
involving both

Overwatch
®
Herbicide is a soil applied, pre-emergence
herbicide that is absorbed by the roots and shoots of
germinating plants. It is upwardly transported via the
plants
xylem
/
transpiration
system.
Overwatch
®
Herbicide mode of action is through blocking carotenoid
biosynthesis. After absorption of Overwatch™ Herbicide,
susceptible germinating plants are deprived of protective
carotenoids
which
disrupts
their
ability
to
photosynthesise. Weed seedlings that have absorbed
Overwatch®
Herbicide
commonly
emerge
with
a
bleached and/or purple appearance. The seedlings then
rapidly desiccate over a few weeks when their seed
energy store is depleted.
Apply prior to sowing and incorporate by sowing (IBS)
with
knife
point
tines
and
press
wheels.
Activity
of
Overwatch
®
Herbicide
requires
placement
near
germinating seeds and in broadacre cropping this is most
consistently achieved by mechanical incorporation. Best
results are achieved when applied to a moist soil profile
and sowing occurs soon after application. Weed control
may be significantly reduced where there is insufficient
soil moisture to mobilise the active for uptake of the
germinating weed seedling. This can be exaggerated
when the weeds germinate from depth and if there is
sufficient moisture for sustained growth.
