Arrest P: an advanced formula pod sealant

Arrest P is a polymer and surfactant blend designed to reduce pod shatter in oilseed rape, beans and soya crops. Applied at the pod’s green and bendy stage, it will guard against shatter for up to 60 days, protecting yield and reducing volunteers in the following crop. Arrest P coats the pod to increase its physical strength, without impairing the natural drying process or affecting seed maturity or quality.

What is Arrest P?

Arrest P is a polymer and surfactant blend designed to reduce pod shatter in oilseed rape, pulses, and soya crops.

When should I use Arrest P?

Applied at the pods green and bendy stage, Arrest P will guard against shatter, protecting yield and reducing volunteers in the next crop.

How does Arrest P work?

Arrest P covers the pod to increase its physical strength, without impairing the natural drying process or affecting seed maturity or quality.

Information

Benefits

  • Coats the pod with polymer to increase strength and prevent pod shatter
  • Average 12% yield response by reducing seed loss
  • Reduces volunteers in the following crop
  • Does not affect seed maturity or quality.

Contains

Carboxylated Styrene-Butadiene copolymer and advanced surfactant system

Agronomic Guidelines

  • Efficacy is better in OSR when applied before glyphosate timing and before the crop lies down within the tramlines
  • Can be applied alone or in combination with desiccants
  • Clean tank, pump, spray lines with non-ionic water immediately after application.
Frequently asked questions

Which crops benefit most from Arrest P?

Arrest P is designed for oilseed rape, beans and soya crops, any crop where pod shatter can cause significant yield losses and volunteer issues in the following season.

When is the ideal timing for Arrest P application?

Apply when pods are still green and bendy, before they become brittle. In OSR, efficacy is highest when used before glyphosate timing and before the crop lies down in tramlines.

Can Arrest P be tank-mixed with other products?

It can be applied alone or in combination with desiccants, providing flexibility in harvest preparation programmes.

How long does Arrest P protect against pod shatter?

A single application guards against pod shatter for up to 60 days, helping protect yield right through to harvest.

Does Arrest P affect the natural drying process?

No. It strengthens pods without slowing their natural drying and does not impact seed maturity, colour or oil content.

What yield benefits can Arrest P provide?

Trials show an average yield response of around 12%, achieved by reducing seed losses before and during harvest.

Will Arrest P help reduce volunteers in the following crop?

By reducing seed losses at harvest, Arrest P minimises the seedbank of volunteers that can emerge in the next cropping season.

How does Arrest P differ from other pod sealants?

Its advanced polymer and surfactant blend creates a strong, flexible coating on pods that moves with them as they mature, reducing cracking while maintaining normal physiological processes.

Are there any special considerations for application equipment?

After spraying, clean the tank, pump, and spray lines immediately with non-ionic water to prevent residue build-up.

Can Arrest P be used in all weather conditions?

While Arrest P is rainfast once dry, best results are achieved when applied in settled weather conditions to maximise coverage and adhesion.
