Citation 70

smiley girl

Hi,
We plant potatoes every year, about an acres worth. We had been using Round Up but this year a local farmer gave us some Citation 70 to keep the weeds and grass down. Now we would like to buy some Citation 70 ourselves but we cannot find it anywhere. Would anyone here be able to tell me where to buy it please?

Thanks in advance!

If you have the label from the bottle it should give the 'active' chemistry, basicaly what the chemical inside is that makes it work.
Usually near the top in bold writing phrased as ' containing x(number) milligrams of y(active/s) per litre' or similar, make search easier, maybe cheaper!

Citation 70 seems to be no longer approved since 14/12/2012

http://www.pcs.agriculture.gov.ie/Docs/Pesticides2012.pdf (page 88)

Sencorex WG and Shotput also have Metribuzin as the active ingrediant and are approved (page 68)

I'll have a look at that, and see what I can get, thanks.
