If you make the decision to sow into dry soil, our trial experience indicates that Sakura is the most reliable pre-emergent herbicide treatment available in dry-sown situations.
It's important to understand how Sakura works so you can make sure you're setting up the right conditions for success.
Proper dispersion = consistent results
Sakura is very effective in both wet and dry sowing situations, however when applied on moist soil the timing of follow-up rainfall is very important.

Using Sakura in Legumes Fact Sheet
Question | Answer |
---|---|
1 What group does Sakura belong to? | Sakura inhibits the biosynthesis of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA), so is considered to have Group K mode of action. |
2 How does it work | Sakura is absorbed by the roots and to a lesser extent by the shoots of germinating weeds, and works by inhibiting growth in the meristematic areas. |
3 How should Sakura be applied | Sakura is pre-emergence herbicide that should be incorporated by sowing (IBS), but can be applied up to 3 days prior to sowing with equipment fitted with knife points and press wheels, or knife pints and harrows. |
4 What is the incorporation time for Sakura? | Sakura should ideally be applied immediately before sowing, but can be applied up to 3 days earlier. |
5 What about PSPE? | The application of Sakura post-sowing, pre-emergence is not a registered use pattern and is not recommended. Sakura should be applied prior to sowing and incorporated by the sowing activity, closely following label instructions. |
6 What seeding equipment can I use? | Sowing equipment fitted with knife points and press wheels, or knife points and harrows are recommended. Sowing equipment fitted with both press wheels and harrows is not recommended. |
7 What is the application rate? | Sakura has a low use rate of 118 g/ha. |
8 What weeds will Sakura control/suppress? | Sakura is registered for the control of annual ryegrass, barley grass, silver grass, annual phalaris (Phalaris paradoxa only) and toad rush, and suppression of brome grass (Bromus diandrus only) and wild oats. |
9 Will Sakura control broadleaf weeds? | Sakura is not registered to control any broadleaf weeds. Bayer recommends speaking to your local Bayer Territory Sales Manager or advisor regarding broadleaf weed control options. |
10 What crops will Sakura be registered for use in? | Sakura is currently registered for use in wheat (except durum wheat), triticale, chickpeas, field peas, lentils and lupins. Bayer will continue to investigate the use of Sakura in other crops as part of our ongoing local and international trial work. |
11 Is Sakura tightly bound to organic matter? | Sakura has a very low tendency to bind to stubble or other plant residue, so it maintains excellent performance even in paddocks with moderate stubble loads. High carry-over stubble and other plant materials will, however, reduce performance. |
12 How long will Sakura keep controlling new germinations of weeds after application? | Residual control varies according to soil type and weather conditions, but trial work has indicated that Sakura normally maintains high levels of control longer than most pre-emergent herbicides. This could vary from 4 weeks up to 12 weeks or more. |
13 What if I dry-sow my crop? | Sakura will remain active in the soil over an extended period, so once a significant rainfall event occurs, sufficient to complete the incorporation process and germinate weeds, Sakura will be present to provide control. |
14 What happens if a weed initially grows through Sakura? Will it be affected? | Sakura will often suppress the growth of grasses after they have emerged through root pruning. These weeds will often not be competitive with the crop. |
