Mateno® Complete Herbicide

Herbicides
The Complete Package has NEW registrations! Mateno Complete is now registered for use early post emergence in barley, and has even more grass and broadleaf weed control claims on the label for wheat and barley. Mateno Complete combines three active ingredients from three modes of action, including aclonifen, a new herbicide mode of action for Australia. Mateno Complete will provide residual control with flexibility in use rate and application timings to enable outstanding performance in a range of scenarios. In wheat and barley, Mateno Complete can be used in an early post emergence (EPE) use pattern which delivers weed control across the complete soil surface profile - in the furrow, on the furrow shoulder and in the inter-row. Mateno Complete can also be used in an IBS (incorporated by sowing) use pattern in both wheat and barley.

FAQs

Bayer has developed Mateno Complete Herbicide to provide a new tool to deliver class leading levels of residual grass weed control and broad-spectrum broadleaf weed control. Mateno Complete has the flexibility to be used IBS (incorporated by sowing) or EPE (Early post emergent) in wheat and barley and the ability to be used with knife point press wheel or disc seeding systems (wheat only).

Mateno Complete contains three active ingredients; aclonifen, pyroxasulfone and diflufenican. Aclonifen is a new active ingredient in the Australian market.

The active ingredients in Mateno Complete are from three different Herbicide MOA groups; aclonifen (Group 32), pyroxasulfone (Group 15, formerly Group K), and diflufenican (Group 12, formerly Group F).

Aclonifen has been classified as an SPS inhibitor. Currently it is the only active ingredient globally that is classified as a Group 32 herbicide.

Aclonifen is a herbicide that has activity on both grass weeds and broadleaf weeds and works best when in combination with other herbicides due to its synergistic properties.

Herbicide synergy is the outcome of an interaction between two or more active ingredients that results in a combined level of performance which is greater than the expected outcome from the combination of the (known) performance of the individual active ingredients.

Synergy is complex and often involves two or more modes of action. Globally aclonifen has been recognized as a synergist in combination with certain other herbicides. Aclonifen has patented synergy in combination with pyroxasulfone and diflufenican, the three active ingredients that make up Mateno Complete. This means that when formulated together in Mateno Complete, these three active ingredients deliver a combined performance far higher than would be expected from the known performance of the individual active ingredients.

Mateno Complete is registered for use in both wheat and barley.

Mateno Complete can be used at either the IBS (Incorporated By Sowing) timing or the EPE (Early Post Emergence) timing in wheat or barley.

Mateno Complete is active on weeds via both root and shoot uptake with the best results delivered when weeds are small (up to 2, 3 or 4 leaf, depending on the weed species) and good coverage of the weeds and soil is possible (to control current and future weed germinations). Mateno Complete can be applied in wheat from the 1 true leaf stage (Z11) in wheat or from the 3 leaf stage (Z13) in barley. The latest possible timing that Mateno Complete can be used is at crop growth stage Z23.

Mateno Complete has a flexible rate range of 750 mL/ha to 1 L/ha when used in wheat at either IBS or EPE application timing. . Under scenarios of high weed pressure, the higher rate should always be used in wheat with consideration of a suitable a tank mixture partner when using the 750 mL/ha rate. When used in barley at the IBS or EPE timing, the application rate is 750 mL/ha.

No. Mateno Complete should not be used in conjunction with or following the use of Sakura® herbicide, due to herbicide rotation guidelines, as well as potential crop safety, residue and recropping interval impacts.

Bayer has conducted a comprehensive range of compatibility trials with common pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicides, fungicides and insecticides. For more detail refer to the Product Label or Mixing Guide available on the Mateno Complete webpage. The use of higher water rates (≥80 L/ha) can aid compatibility. The use of coarse inline filters (i.e. 50 mesh) can improve performance in sprayers.

It is not recommended to mix Mateno Complete with other crop protection products when used EPE in barley. Consult Bayer Crop Science for further information.

Mateno Complete has a good fit for use in disc-seeding systems in wheat. Trials have shown comparable safety to existing pre-emergence herbicides currently registered or recommended for use with disc seeding systems in wheat. The product label outlines important guidelines for maximizing crop safety in disc-seeding scenarios. Mateno Complete should not be used in combination with a disc seeding system in barley.

Plant back restrictions are largely dictated by the pyroxasulfone component of the co-formulation, please see the label for full details.
