DIRECTIONS FOR USE RESTRAINTS: DO NOT spray if rain seems likely within 6 hours or if strong winds prevail. Weeds should be actively growing at the time of treatment. Do not treat weeds under poor growing or dormant conditions (such as occur in drought, water logging, disease, insect damage or following frosts) as reduced weed control may result. Reduced results may also occur when treating weeds heavily covered with dust or silt. Prior herbicide application may also induce stress in weeds. 1.

Spray when plants are actively growing preferably before flowering or running. Spray when plants are small.

Best results are obtained when plants are small. Use high rate on larger plants. Spray after good emergence of seedlings.

NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION.

WITHHOLDING PERIODS:

Pasture & Cereal Crops: DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT FOR STOCK FOOD FOR 7 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION.

IN TASMANIA, THIS PRODUCT MAY ONLY BE USED FROM 15 APRIL TO 15 SEPTEMBER UNLESS OTHERWISE PERMITTED BY THE REGISTRAR OF PESTICIDES.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

Abound™ 400 is a water soluble liquid product with non-selective herbicidal activity against broadleaf weeds. Abound 400 will control emerged weeds only and provides no residual control although certain plant back periods should be observed. Abound 400 is absorbed by plant foliage and accumulates to toxic levels in the regions of growth and reproduction, upsetting the ability of plants to balance the synthesis and use of nutrients. Visible effects are a gradual yellowing and wilting of the plants which advances to complete browning of above ground growth and deterioration of root systems. Effects may not be apparent for 7-10 days or even up to 21 days under cold or cloudy conditions. DO NOT treat weeds under poor growing or dormant conditions such as occur in drought, water-logging, disease, insect damage, following frost, weeds heavily covered with dust or silt. Reduced results may also occur if weeds are under stress from previous herbicide application. Rainfall occuring up to 6 hours after application may reduce effectiveness. DO NOT spray if strong winds prevail.

IMPORTANT: WHEN APPLIED TO DRY SOILS AT LEAST 15 mm OF RAIN MUST FALL PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE PLANT-BACK PERIOD. NOTES: ➊ In Queensland, no rainfall is required to fall prior to commencement of plant-back period for wheat, barley and triticale. ➋ In Queensland, planting of canola / rapeseed, chickpeas and safflower must be delayed for at least 14 days following rainfall of at least 15 mm. ❸ In Central Queensland, when using 1.2 L/ha or less of Abound 400, the plant-back period for sorghum and sunflower is 1 day irrespective of rainfall. ❹ In WA the plant-back period for lupins at all rates is 28 days. NOTE: Before using Abound 400 in tank mixes with other herbicides, check the plant-back information on all product labels. The time between spraying and planting will be determined by the most residual products, i.e. the product with the longest plant-back period.

ABOUND 400

COMPATIBILITY HERBICIDES Abound 400 is compatible in tank mixes with atrazine, chlorsulfuron, dicamba, dimethoate, glyphosate e.g. Ripper™ 480, Lorsban™ 500 EC, metsulfuron-methyl, omethoate, paraquat/diquat (e.g. Spray•Seed®), phosmet, and simazine. INSECTICIDES Dimethoate, Lorsban™ 500EC, omethoate and phosmet can be introduced into the tank mix for specific control to prevent insect damage to emerging crops.

When chlorsulfuron or metsulfuron-methyl herbicides are included in the mixture a minimum spray volume of 30 L/ha are recommended. When simazine is included in the mixture a minimum spray volume of 100 L/ha is recommended. Flat fan nozzle equipment is recommended using pressures in the range 240-280 kPa. Boom height must be set to ensure double overlap of nozzle patterns at the top of the weed canopy. AERIAL EQUIPMENT Application of Abound 400/glyphosate mixtures using either Micronair® or boom equipment should occur in a minimum spray volume of 15 L/ha. Droplets with an average size of 250-350 micron diameter are recommended. Swath width should be 15-17 metres. Application under hot conditions: High temperature and/or low relative humidity cause excessive evaporation of spray droplets which may reduce results. When temperatures reach 25°C increase water volume to 30 L/Ha, and increase droplet size to at least 300 micron diameter. DO NOT apply by aircraft when temperature is above 35°C. DO NOT use in intensive horticultural cropping areas. Thoroughly wash aircraft, especially landing gear after each day of spraying to remove herbicide residues.


SURFACTANT ADDITION DO NOT add surfactant except for CONSERVATION TILLAGE where the product is to be tank mixed with a glyphosate product. In this situation always add a 100% non-ionic surfactant in accordance with label directions on the glyphosate product. DO NOT mix with spraying oils, or any other materials or agricultural chemicals except as directed on this label.

TANK MIXTURES

The Abound 400 DIRECTIONS FOR USE on this label are designed to be used as a tank mixture with glyphosate herbicides. However as shown in the compatibility and surfactant addition sections of this label, it is possible to extend/improve weed control to include other foliage applied and/or residual herbicides and adjuvants. A mixture of Abound 400 and glyphosate may be tank mixed with the following herbicides, insecticides and adjuvants where recommended in the Directions for Use tables. Read and follow all label Directions, RESTRAINTS and PLANT-BACK PERIODS, WITHHOLDING PERIODS and SAFETY DIRECTIONS for the tank mix products.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Abound 400 mixes readily with water. Ensure the spray tank is free of any residue of previous spray materials. 1. Fill the spray tank with clean water to one half of the required amount and start agitation. Do not use mechanical agitators as these may cause excessive foaming when herbicides are added. 2. Where an acidifying surfactant such as LI-700 is recommended at either 100 mL or 300 mL/100 L, add to tank through top mesh screen. 3. Add recommended herbicide additive / insecticide to the spray tank and mix thoroughly. 4. Add Abound 400 and mix thoroughly. 5. Add the glyphosate product and the remaining water. 6. When a non-ionic surfactant is used, add near the end of the filling process to minimise foaming. 7. Always maintain adequate agitation during application and use the tank mix promptly.

APPLICATION BOOM EQUIPMENT Application of Abound 400/glyphosate mixtures in spray volumes of 25-100 L/ha is recommended.

8

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE

Spray solutions of Abound 400 and glyphosate should be mixed, stored and applied only in stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper, fibreglass, plastic-lined containers. Do not mix, store or apply spray solutions in galvanised steel or unlined steel (except stainless steel) containers or spray tanks. Abound 400 and glyphosate spray solutions may react with such containers and tanks to produce hydrogen gas which may form a highly combustible gas mixture that can flash or explode if ignited by open flame, spark, welder’s torch, lighted cigarette or other ignition source.

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT

Thoroughly clean all equipment after use either by using hot soapy water or 1% solution of ammonia followed by several clean water rinses or use a proprietary cleaner such as Spraymate® Tank & Equipment Cleaner. If using sulfonylurea herbicides such as chlorsulfuron or metsulfuron-methyl, follow decontamination procedures detailed on those product labels.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING

Abound 400 Herbicide is a member of the Phenoxys group of herbicides. Abound 400 has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management Abound 400 is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Abound 400 and other Group I 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 Abound 400 or other Group I herbicides.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NONTARGET PLANTS. Drift Warning: Direct spray contact or even slight drift may cause severe injury or destruction of any growing crop or other desirable plants including trees and native vegetation. DO NOT use when breeze is blowing towards nearby desirable plants. DO NOT apply under meteorological conditions or from spraying equipment that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants, adjacent crops, crop lands or pastures. Equipment settings which produce fine droplets (150 microns or less), winds over 8 km/h, “still air” and hot dry days all contribute to drift. Avoid spray drift onto susceptible crops such as cotton, tobacco, tomatoes, flowers, vegetables, vines, fruit trees, legume crops and pastures, oil seed crops or other susceptible crops and trees (eg Kurrajongs, Belahs, Eucalypts). DO NOT use unless wind speed is more than 3 kilometres per hour and less than 15 kilometres per hour as measured at the application site. DO NOT apply with smaller than coarse to very coarse spray droplets according to the ASABE S572 definition for standard nozzles.

SAFETY DIRECTIONS • Poisonous if swallowed. • Avoid contact with eyes and skin. • DO NOT inhale spray mist. • When preparing spray, wear PVC or rubber apron, elbow length PVC gloves and face shield. • When using the prepared spray, wear face shield. If product on skin, immediately wash area with soap and water. • After use and before eating, drinking or smoking, wash hands, arms, and face thoroughly with soap and water. After each day’s use wash gloves, face shield and contaminated clothing.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS MIXING Access herbicide is designed for use with diesel distillate only. It will NOT mix with water. Quarter fill the spray unit or mixing container with diesel and add the required amount of Access. Add the remaining diesel and shake or agitate thoroughly to mix the contents. Only mix sufficient chemical for each day’s work, mixing periodically.


Access is compatible with diesel and should not be used or diluted with any other chemicals.

Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and watercourses. After completion of spraying, use a degreaser such as Caltex Kwik-D-Grease® to remove traces of diesel from the sprayer. Rinse tank and spray through nozzles thoroughly with water to remove degreaser. After the above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and add a alkali detergent, (e.g. liquid SURF®, OMO®, DRIVE® at 500 mL/100L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100L of water). If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Shake the water around the sprayer and spray the solution through the nozzles to thoroughly clean the lines and nozzles. Rinse well with clean water to remove detergent. To clean brushes and container, spray liberally with degreaser. Hose off thoroughly with water and repeat using detergents (see above). DO NOT use this equipment for any other purpose.

COMPATIBILITY

Apply only with hand-directed equipment such as a pneumatic sprayer. The use of diesel as a herbicide carrier may affect the rubber seals in some sprayers. To avoid this, use sprayers, which use Viton® seals and fittings. Spray equipment should be used at low pressures, up to 200 kPa, to avoid splashing. Ensure all stems on multi-stemmed varieties are treated. Delay treatment until all regrowth on bulldozed or ploughed land has had time to emerge to a height of at least 1 metre. Species that lose their leaves e.g. sweet briar; or become dormant, e.g. Australian blackthorn or camphor laurel, should not be treated during winter. Species with old, rough bark require more thorough wetting than the smooth barked species. DO NOT apply to charcoal coated or wet stems as this can repel the diesel mixture. Basal Bark Application Method Dilute the indicated volume of Access Herbicide with diesel up to a total volume of 60 L. Liberally spray the bark around the stem from ground level to 30 cm high, wetting thoroughly to the point of runoff (unless otherwise stated). Access™ ThinLine basal bark application method: Alternatively, the application band can be reduced to 5 cm high but with the concentration increased proportionally (one part Access diluted with 9 parts diesel) for the treatment of the smooth stemmed woody weed species: Acacia spp. (excluding Mimosa bush), Cockspur thorn, Corymbia spp., Leucaena and Parkinsonia, also indicated with asterisks in the Directions for Use tables.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

Access Herbicide is a member of the pyridines group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management the product is a Group I Herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I 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 this product or other Group I Herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Access Herbicide to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or local Dow AgroSciences representative.

Treat target weeds only. DO NOT allow mixture to contact non-target species. DO NOT use on land to be cultivated for growing sensitive plants. Legumes, vines, vegetables, cotton, tomatoes, ornamentals, coniferous species and many other broadleaf plants are highly susceptible to Access during both growing and dormant periods. Picloram, one of the active ingredients in this product, can remain active in the soil for extended periods depending on soil type, rainfall, temperature, humidity, soil moisture and soil organic matter. DO NOT move soil, which has been sprayed, to areas where desirable plants are to be grown. DO NOT apply when the treated soil may be washed to areas growing, or to be planted with desirable plants. DO NOT apply close to, or on, areas containing roots of desirable plants, or sites where surface water from heavy rain can be expected to run off to areas containing, or to be planted to, susceptible crops or plants.

SAFETY DIRECTIONS • Harmful if swallowed. • Will irritate the eyes, nose, throat and skin. • Repeated exposure may cause allergic disorders. • Avoid contact with eyes and skin. • Avoid inhaling vapour or spray mist. • When opening the container and preparing spray and using the prepared spray, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrists, a washable hat and elbow-length neoprene gloves and a face shield or goggles. • If product on skin, immediately wash area with soap and water. • If product in eyes, wash it out immediately with water. • After use and before eating, drinking or smoking, wash hands, arms and face thoroughly with soap and water. • After each day’s use wash gloves, face shield or goggles and contaminated clothing.


PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK, WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT

DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. Alongside waterways treat only noxious weeds and poisonous plants.


Store in the closed, original container in a cool, wellventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. DO NOT store near food, feedstuffs, fertilisers or seed. Triple rinse empty containers with diesel before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. The method of disposal of the container depends on the container type. Read the STORAGE AND DISPOSAL instructions on the label that is attached to the container.

FIRST AID

If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone: Australia 13 11 26. If in eyes, hold eyes open, flood with water for at least 15 minutes and see a doctor.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Before opening, carefully read DIRECTIONS FOR USE, PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON TARGET PLANTS, SAFETY DIRECTIONS and FIRST AID Instructions. APPLICATION INFORMATION BOOM SPRAYING – Use 30-120 L/ha of water. AERIAL SPRAYING – Use 10-90 L/ha of water. HIGH VOLUME SPRAYING – Use 1500-2500 L/ha of water.

EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND USAGE

COMPATIBILITY

This product may be tank mixed with dicamba, diuron (500 g/L or 900 g/kg), Garlon™ 600, chlorsulfuron, atrazine 900 g/kg, atrazine 600 g/L, paraquat, Grazon™ Extra, Spray•Seed®, Starane™ Advanced, Tordon™ 75-D, methabenzthiazuron® and propiconazole 250 g/L. 1. As formulations of other manufacturers’ products are beyond the control of Dow AgroSciences all mixtures should be tested on a small scale before mixing in the spray tank.

2. Tank mixing instructions: Fill the spray tank 1/4 full of water and agitate. Add wettable powders and water dispersible granules first. Agitate until these are uniformly dispersed, meanwhile adding water until the tank is 90% full. Add suspension concentrates (flowables) then soluble concentrates. Emulsifiable concentrates go in last. Top off the tank with water and continue agitation until all the ingredients are properly mixed. Observe any mixing sequence instructions mentioned on the tank mix products.


Dow AgroSciences Amine 625 Herbicide is a member of the Phenoxys group of herbicides. Amine 625 has the disruptors of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management Amine 625 is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Amine 625 and other Group I 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 amine 625 or other Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Amine 625 to control resistant weeds.

30

DO NOT spray in high winds. DO NOT spray cereals if lucerne is present. DO NOT spray crops or weeds outside the stages indicated in "CRITICAL COMMENTS" as damage, loss of yield or inadequate weed control may result. Drift Warning: DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures. Avoid spray drift onto susceptible crops such as cotton, tobacco, tomatoes, vines, fruit trees, vegetables, legume crops and pastures, oilseed crops and susceptible trees (e.g. Kurrajongs, Belahs and Eucalypts). DO NOT use unless wind speed is more than 3 kilometres per hour and less than 15 kilometres per hour, as measured at the application site. DO NOT apply with smaller than coarse to very coarse spray droplets according to the ASABE S572 definition for standard nozzles.


Equipment that has been used for this chemical should not be used for the application of other materials to sensitive plants, unless it has been well washed out with hot soapy water or 1% solution of ammonia, followed by several clear water rinses.

30 - 60 mL

Scales: Apply when there is heavy crawler emergence, particularly in late summer. Where the infestation is severe, a second application may be required 14 - 28 days later. Applaud® Insecticide works best in an integrated pest management (IPM) programme where parasites such as Aphytis spp. are active. Mealybugs: Apply if thresholds are exceeded in spring-summer. Repeat after 21 - 28 days if necessary. Rate: Use the high rate when heavy infestations of the pests occur and/or where IPM systems have not effectively managed pest populations.

Jassids (leafhoppers)

APPLAUD


Monitor scales and apply when the majority of crawlers have emerged. This usually coincides with tree flushing after harvest and in spring when fruit are 1.5 to 2.0 cm across. A repeat application within 14 - 28 days may be necessary. DO NOT use mineral oils as fruit blotching may occur.

Apply a maximum of two sprays per season, 14 days apart. Apply when the first batch of scale or mealybug crawlers occur after winter.

NOTE: To optimise control of mealybugs in most crops it is critical to time treatment to coincide with the first emergence of crawlers. If it is intended to release Cryptolaemus ladybeetles as part of an IPM system, the last application of Applaud should be made no later than 60 days before the anticipated release date.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

APPLAUD

EXAMPLE ONLY 1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example 1500 L/ha 2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example 500 L/ha 3. The concentration factor in this example is: 3 X (ie 1500 L ÷ 500 L = 3) 4. As the lower dilute label rate is 30 mL/100 L, then the corresponding concentrate rate becomes 3 x 30, that is 90 mL/100 L of concentrate spray. The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water, and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. Do not use a concentrate rate higher than that specified in the Critical Comments. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow Industry Best Practices. Application Instructions: Citrus Only Apply Applaud Insecticide in sufficient water to ensure complete wetting of all surfaces. Oscillating booms A spray volume of 7,000 to 12,000 L water/ha should be used for trees up to 5m high. To optimise control the following application procedures are recommended: a) ground speed 2.3 to 2.75 km/h b) pump pressure 3000 to 5000 kPa c) oscillation rate 90 - 110 oscillations per minute d) spray pattern adjacent cones marrying at about 1.75 m (i.e. narrow cone angle, but the maximum angle consistent with good tree penetration). e) agitation 1 large paddle per 500 L; paddles should clear the bottom of the vat by about 10 mm and should have the same orientation. f) boom set set angle of top to match tree size. Airblast sprayers Airblast sprayers may be used for control of jassids/ leafhoppers, but are less suitable for control of scales and mealy bugs. For jassid control, use spray volumes of approximately 5000 L/ha.

Mixing/Application Prior to pouring, shake container vigorously, then add the required quantity of Applaud Insecticide to water in the spray vat while stirring or with agitators in motion. Dilute Spraying Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the Directions for Use table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of run-off. The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to be changed, as the crop grows. Concentrate Spraying Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see Dilute Spraying above) for the crop canopy. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way:

COMPATIBILITY Applaud Insecticide is compatible with Dithane™ Rainshield™ Neo Tec™ Fungicide and a number of other agricultural chemicals commonly used on the same crops. Please contact your supplier or Dow AgroSciences representative for further information on compatibility. Applaud Insecticide is not compatible with Sacoa BioPest® Oil or with products that are highly alkaline or highly acidic.


PROTECTION OF NON-TARGET INSECTS

After using Applaud Insecticide, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose, drain the tank and clean all filters in the tank, pump, lines and nozzles. After cleaning the tank and filters as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pumps, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area, or if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from plants and water courses.

Applaud Insecticide at label rates of 30 to 60 mL/100 L water has been demonstrated to be safe to a range of predatory and beneficial insects including bumblebees and honeybees, parasitoid wasps such as Aphytis lignanensis, Leptomastix dactylopii and Encarsia spp., predatory mites such as Phytoseiulus persimilis and Typhlodromus occidentalis and the green lacewing (Mallada signatus). Applaud Insecticide has no significant effect on adult ladybeetles but is known to be toxic to early instars of Cryptolaemus montrouzieri, Chilocorus circumdatus and Harmonia conformis. Applaud Insecticide may also affect egg hatch of these species for 2 to 3 weeks after application.


INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING

For insecticide resistance management Applaud is a Group 16 insecticide. To minimise the risk of resistance developing, a total of no more than two applications of Applaud Insecticide should be made on a crop per season. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Applaud and other Group 16 insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Applaud or other Group 16 insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Applaud on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Applaud to control resistant insects. Applaud may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Dow AgroSciences representative or call Customer Service Toll Free on 1-800 700 096.

PRECAUTIONS

Re-entry Period: DO NOT enter treated areas without protective clothing until the spray has dried.

BARNSTORM

DIRECTIONS FOR USE RESTRAINTS: DO NOT apply if crop or weeds are stressed due to periods of extreme cold, dry conditions, poor nutrition or previous herbicide treatment as a reduced level of control may result. DO NOT apply directly into floodwater either by SCWIIRT (Soluble Chemical Water Injection into Rice Technique) or the aerial Bickley Boom. Apply only as a foliar spray. DO NOT treat weeds if mud, cracks or firm soil have appeared throughout fields prior to treatment, as poor control will result due to moisture stress. CROP/SITUATION: Barnstorm Herbicide may be applied to any direct seeded rice crop (combine sown, sodseeded, dry broadcast sown followed by flooding and aerial sown into flooded bays) from the 1-2 leaf stage up to late tillering of the rice. Within these rice stages, choose the rate and timing as required by the growth stage of the target weeds (see below).


WEEDS CONTROLLED

WEED GROWTH STAGE

RATE (L/ha)

CRITICAL COMMENTS

Always use Integrated Weed Management (IWM) practices for best weed control and to limit development of weed resistance. For best IWM, the application of alternate mode of action grass herbicides as a pre-plant, pre-emergence and/or at sowing treatment prior to Barnstorm is recommended.

1 L/ha + 1 L/ha Uptake™ Spraying Oil

3 to 4 tillers (mid tillering)

1-1.5 L/ha + 1 L/ha Uptake™ Spraying Oil

Barnstorm Herbicide must be applied directly to the foliage of actively growing weeds by aircraft or ground boom equipment. Apply post-flooding. Water must be at least 1-2 cm deep in fields at spraying to ensure active growth of weeds and sufficient exposure of weeds to allow coverage by the foliar spray. See under General Instructions – Water Management. Commence reflooding after 2 hours and fill as soon as possible to limit germination of new weeds and maximise weed control. Only use 0.75L/ha for 3-5 leaf weeds when light weed infestations, excellent soil moisture and good crop competition is present. Use the 1L/ha rate if any of these conditions are not present at treatment time. Use 1.5 L/ha to treat larger weeds.

Only weed suppression (reduced seedset) will be obtained if Barnstorm is applied to advanced grass weeds (5 tiller or larger), high weed densities and/or moisture stressed weeds.

NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED.

GRAZING WITHHOLDING PERIOD: DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT FOR STOCK FOOD FOR 8 WEEKS AFTER APPLICATION.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

sufficient solution for immediate use. Barnstorm and any other tank mixes should be applied immediately for best results.

Barnstorm Herbicide is a member of the aryloxyphenoxy propionate group of herbicides. The product has the acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitor mode of action. For weed resistance management Barnstorm Herbicide is a Group A herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group A 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 the product or other Group A herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of the product to control resistant weeds.

APPLICATION Aerial Application conditions - DO NOT apply under hot, dry conditions which could adversely affect spray deposition on the target weeds. Spray volume - Apply by an accurately calibrated aircraft using a minimum water volume of 40 L/ha for early season application to pretillered weeds when rice canopy is open and light. Later in the season when rice canopy is closed over and heavy, use 80 L/ha or more to achieve effective spray coverage of tillered weeds. Spray quality - Aim to apply medium quality spray (BCPC/ ASABE S-572), throughout the season. Mixing for odd shaped rice bays - ensure the area to be treated receives the full recommended rate after allowing for spray out of headlands, banks or other obstacles and clean up runs. To achieve this Barnstorm Herbicide rate may need to be increased by 10%. Swath width - Do not exceed the optimum swath width recommended for the particular make and model of the aircraft to minimise the likelihood of striping and poorer control. Precautionary Statement: DO NOT use human flaggers/ markers unless they are protected by engineering controls such as enclosed cabs. Ground Apply using a vehicle mounted boom to enable application when floodwater is present, using a minimum water volume of 100 L/ha. Sprayers should aim to apply medium quality spray based on BCPC specifications and in accordance with ASABE S-572.



Barnstorm Herbicide is a post-emergence foliar herbicide for selective control of specific grass weeds in drilled and water seeded rice. Barnstorm Herbicide does not provide pre-emergence or soil residual weed control. Only actively growing grass weeds already emerged at the time of treatment are controlled. Barnstorm Herbicide will not control broadleaf weeds or sedges.

WATER MANAGEMENT

There must be at least 1 to 2 cm of water in fields at spraying to ensure active growth of weeds while allowing adequate exposure of weeds to the foliar spray. Use steel wheeled tractor, all wheel drive motorbike (or similar) ground boom sprayers or aeroplanes to ensure Barnstorm is applied when water is present in fields to be treated. For 3-5 leaf weeds, ensure that 75% of foliage is exposed above floodwater. For 1-2 tiller weeds, tillers and 75% of foliage must be exposed above floodwater. DO NOT treat weeds if mud, cracks or firm soil have appeared throughout fields prior to treatment, as poor control will result due to moisture stress. For 3-5 leaf weeds ensure that 75% of foliage is exposed above floodwater and for 1-2 tiller weeds all tillers and 75% of foliage must be exposed above floodwater.

MIXING Add water to the spray tank to 10 cm above the level of agitation and ensure the agitation device is working vigorously. If tank mixing, firstly add any soluble liquid formulations and allow agitation for approximately one minute. Then add Barnstorm at the point where agitation is strongest. Allow further agitation for one minute. Half fill the spray tank. If using wettable powder or water dispersible granules, or other emulsifiable concentration formulations (e.g. Lorsban™ 500 EC Insecticide) these should be added after the Barnstorm to the half-full spray tank, ensuring vigorous agitation. Finally add Uptake™ Spraying Oil and continue filling the tank to the required volume, maintaining agitation at all times. Only mix

COMPATIBILITY

Barnstorm Herbicide can be tank mixed with Lorsban™ 500 EC Insecticide or with the herbicide pendimethalin. DO NOT apply Barnstorm as a tank mix with MCPA, Basagran® M60, bensulfuron methyl or carfentrazone as reduced grass weed control will occur. If these products are to be used in the same spray program as Barnstorm, separate applications by at least 7 days. ™ Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company (“Dow”) or an affiliated company of Dow ® Basagran M60 Herbicide Registered trademark of BASF Australia Ltd

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT If broadleaf herbicides, particularly sulfonylureas, have been used in the spray equipment at any time prior to use of Barnstorm, particular care should be taken to follow the directions on the relevant broadleaf herbicide label for equipment cleaning, or damage to the rice may occur. After using Barnstorm, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose, drain the tank and clean any filters in the tank, pump, line and nozzles.

To rinse: After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. To decontaminate: Before spraying other cereals, maize, sorghum or other sensitive crops, wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Then quarter fill the tank and add an alkali detergent at 500 mL/100 L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100 L of water, and circulate throughout the system for at least fifteen minutes. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow to drain. Chlorine-based cleaners are not recommended. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area, or if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and water sources.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Store in the closed original container in a cool, wellventilated area. Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. DO NOT store near feedstuffs, fertilisers or seeds. This container can be recycled if it is clean, dry, free of visible residues and has the drumMUSTER logo visible. Triple or pressure rinse container for disposal. Dispose of rinsate by adding to the spray tank. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. Wash outside of the container and the cap. Store cleaned container in a sheltered place with cap removed. It will then be acceptable for recycling at any drumMUSTER collection or similar container management site.

DO NOT burn empty containers or product.


RE-ENTRY PERIOD

DO NOT allow entry into treated areas for irrigation and scouting until the spray has dried unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Hand harvesting should not be allowed for 5 days after product application. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.


Other cereals (eg. maize and sorghum) and grasses (eg. seed crops, turf) are highly sensitive to damage from Barnstorm Herbicide, as may be non-target native grasses/vegetation. Maintain a buffer zone of at least 50 m downwind from these for aerial applications. Peaches and nectarines are very sensitive to spotting from spray drift. Ensure that these crops are more than 5 kms downwind before spraying Barnstorm Herbicide by air and 200 m downwind when applying by ground. DO NOT rotate treated land to crops other than rice for 3 months after application. DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures.


DO NOT graze or cut treated crop for stock food except as specified under withholding periods.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Barnstorm Herbicide is toxic to aquatic organisms. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used container. DO NOT drain water into regional drains within 7 days after Barnstorm Herbicide application or as defined by the local irrigation authority, which ever is the greater time period.

SPRAY ADDITIVES/TANK MIXES

DO NOT use any spray additives, or tank mix any other chemicals with Broadstrike™ Herbicide when using on chickpeas or field peas.

Chickpeas

4-6 branches (no later than 6 weeks after emergence)

Broadstrike™ Herbicide usually causes some transient crop yellowing and can cause reddish discolouration and height suppression. Flowering may be delayed resulting in yield suppression.

Field Peas

2 to 6 nodes (no later than 6 weeks after emergence)

Broadstrike™ may cause transient crop yellowing and height suppression. On light soils in dry seasons flowering may be delayed resulting in yield suppression.

Lentils

4-8 fully expanded leaves DO NOT apply later than 6 weeks after crop emergence

Broadstrike™ may cause transient height reduction, crop discolouration and delayed flowering, although yields are normally unaffected. However, stress conditions after application (eg. frost, drought, nutrient deficiency, disease) may lengthen the time needed for lentils to recover. In seasons where a dry spring occurs, yields may be suppressed. Tank mixes with other products may result in growth suppression and delayed flowering which can result in yield suppression.

Use Uptake Spraying Oil at 500 mL/100 L or wetting agent such as BS-1000 at 200 mL/100 L. For prevention of wild radish and turnip weed seed set, apply in a minimum spray volume of 100 L/ha from the ground or 50 L/ha from aircraft. Some re-growth may occur when wet conditions prevail after treatment. Do not use this technique if you have already applied a Group B herbicide to the crop or pasture this season. Only use this salvage spray technique with Broadstrike once per cropping cycle to minimise the development of herbicide resistance. If you suspect herbicide resistance in broadleaved weeds do not use this technique. DO NOT use a Broadstrike salvage spray in pastures for seed production. WARNING: Weeds that have not started to flower at application time may not be controlled by the salvage spray technique. For wild radish, time treatment to coincide with green, soft pods prior to embryo maturation in seeds. Squeeze pod between finger nails to see if any “green/white seeds” are present. Best time to treat is before seeds are visible. Use 50 g/ha only in established grazing lucerne clover, medic and legume/grass pastures.

LIVESTOCK DESTINED FOR EXPORT MARKETS

The grazing withholding period only applies to stock slaughtered for the domestic market. Some export markets apply different standards. To meet these standards, ensure that in addition to complying with the grazing withholding period, that the Export Slaughter Interval is observed before stock are sold or slaughtered. EXPORT SLAUGHTER INTERVAL (ESI) – 7 days: After observing the withholding period for grazing or cutting for stock food, livestock that have been grazed on or fed treated crops should be placed on clean feed for 7 days prior to slaughter. EXPORT ANIMAL FEED INTERVAL (EAFI) – 28 days: (Fenugreek, lathyrus, lucerne, pasture and serradella only) A minimum period of 28 days must elapse between the application of Broadstrike Herbicide and grazing or cutting the treated pasture as stockfeed for livestock intended for export.

Rainfall – is required to maintain soil wetness for at least one week over the warm months to enable microbial degradation of herbicide residues to allow safe planting of sensitive crops. For SNSW, Victoria, Tasmania, SA and WA a minimum of 25 mm and preferably 50 mm or more rain must have fallen over the warm months of the year. For NNSW and Qld a minimum of 50 mm and preferably 100 mm rain or more must have fallen over the warm months of the year. Soil type - on shallow, duplex, low organic matter soils with an impermeable sub-horizon within the root zone (30 cm deep or less) and alkaline surface soil, sensitive crops should NOT be planted until 2 years after application of Broadstrike at either 25 or 50 g/ha. (For crops grown in NNSW and Qld on soils other than vertisols, call Dow AgroSciences or your local reseller for more advice).

APPLICATION

Broadstrike granules in water soluble bags readily disperse in water and will do so once added to fast moving water. Maintain agitation at all times, including during mixing as well as spraying. Only mix sufficient spray solution for immediate use and avoid storing.

• Ground Application: Apply Broadstrike in 50 to 150 litres of water per hectare through a calibrated sprayer that delivers at least medium quality spray as defined by the American Society of Biological Engineers Standard S572.

MIXING Spray rigs with premix hoppers


For spray rigs that have a drop down chemical induction hopper, three-quarter fill this hopper with water and have the rinsing sprinkler operating. Add the Broadstrike™ water soluble bags and when they are dissolved and the granules are dispersed, transfer this batch into the quarter filled main tank. Continue to rinse the hopper until the entire product has washed through.

BROADSTRIKE

• DO NOT apply Broadstrike under conditions likely to cause drift onto waterways, susceptible crops or land to be planted with susceptible crops. Unsuitable conditions are dead calm, excessive wind and/or small droplets.

Spray rigs with limited bypass agitation

When Broadstrike is added to the spray tank in water soluble bags, for spray rigs that have limited bypass agitation, then as for most granulated formulations, re-disperse the Broadstrike™ in a bucket before adding them to the main tank. Add Broadstrike while stirring until the granules have dispersed. Tankmixes – this order should be followed: 1. Quarter fill the spray tank and agitate

2. Add Broadstrike using the mixing procedure above 3. Add Verdict™ 520 if to be used 4. Half fill the spray tank

5. Add wettable powders, dry flowables, suspension concentrates, soluble liquids and/or emulsifiable concentrates 6. Add Uptake™ Spraying Oil when half full

7. Other adjuvants add according to their label 8. Add water to fill the spray tank

60

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

• Best results are achieved where applications are made on warm (greater than 5ºC), sunny days applying more than 50 L/ha of total spray volume (preferably more than 75 L/ha) and where spray coverage is maximised.

COMPATIBILITY • Always allow 7 days between application of a grass herbicide and Broadstrike in chickpeas and field peas. • In lentils, adjuvant, broadleaf or grass herbicide, insecticide and foliar fertiliser tank mixes may result in transient height reduction, crop discolouration and delayed flowering, although yields are normally unaffected. However, stress conditions after application (eg. frost, drought) may lengthen the time needed for lentils to recover and in years where a dry spring occurs, yields may be suppressed. • Broadstrike is compatible with the following: Adjuvants Uptake™ Spraying Oil, Hasten® Spray Adjuvant, BS-1000

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT After using Broadstrike, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose. Drain the tank and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines and nozzles.

BROADSTRIKE

• To rinse. After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. • To decontaminate. Before spraying sensitive crops (which include canola, cotton, faba beans, lupins, sorghum and sunflowers), wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Quarter fill the tank and add an alkali detergent at 500 mL/100 L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100 L) and circulate throughout the system for at least fifteen minutes. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow to drain. Chlorine based cleaners are not recommended.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS Refer to MINIMUM RECROPPING PERIODS for crop rotation information. Crops susceptible to Broadstrike include but are not limited to canola, cotton, faba beans, lupins, sorghum and sunflowers. DO NOT flood irrigate any treated crop or pasture for 48 hours after application. Where other types of irrigation are used, for example sprinklers, DO NOT irrigate to the point of runoff for at least 48 hours after application.


Nufarm Tank and Equipment Cleaner® is not recommended.

Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and watercourses.


Broadstrike Herbicide is a broadleaf herbicide with no annual ryegrass activity and is a member of the triazolopyrimidine sulfonanilide (sulfonamide) group of herbicides. The product has the acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor mode of action. For weed resistance management the product is a Group B herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group B 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 this product or other Group B herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of the product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or local Dow AgroSciences representative.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

DO NOT apply to waterlogged soils or if heavy rain is expected within 48 hours of application.

Dangerous to aquatic plants and susceptible crops. DO NOT contaminate dams, waterways or drains with the product or its containers. DO NOT apply under weather conditions, such as dead calm or excessive wind, or from spraying equipment producing small droplets that may cause spray to drift onto adjacent areas, particularly wetlands, waterbodies, watercourses, susceptible crops or land to be planted with susceptible crops.


DO NOT graze or cut treated crops for stock food except as specified under withholding periods. Poisonous plants may become more palatable after spraying, therefore livestock should be kept out of the area until the plants have died down.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT

DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers.


FIRST AID

Keep out of reach of children.

If poisoning occurs contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone: Australia 13 11 26.

APPLICATION & WEED CONTROL: Apply when weeds are actively growing. For optimum results, apply 4 to 6 weeks post sowing. Application beyond 8 weeks post-sowing may result in reduced levels of weed control. In most situations the rate specified for each weed size will give satisfactory control. Under certain conditions such as: • high crop and weed density, • late season germinations, • abnormal weed growth (including early flowering); higher rates of product (up to the maximum rate of application specified for that weed) may be required. Diflufenican will not effectively control: • regrowth of suppressed weeds, • transplanted weeds, • weeds growing under stress from previous herbicide applications.

Spray actively growing 6-8 week old weeds. Introduce stock 7-10 days after spraying, preferable sheep as cattle are less effective. Use stocking rate at least 5 times heavier than normal until weeds have been reduced before survival of desirable pasture species is threatened. Lucerne and medics may be damaged and should be grazed short before spraying. See “Legume Tolerance”. PRECAUTION: An increased quantity of poisonous plants may be eaten by stock using Spray/Graze technique e.g. caltrop, capeweed, Paterson’s curse and variegated thistle and deaths could result from causes such as nitrate poisoning. With Paterson’s curse preferably graze stock soon destined for slaughter and avoid extended periods of grazing. Avoid grazing with young or breeding stock. DO NOT graze horses or pigs on Paterson’s curse. Observe Withholding period of at least 7 days after spraying.

Before opening, carefully read DIRECTIONS FOR USE, PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS, SAFETY DIRECTIONS and FIRST AID instructions. Weeds should be sprayed while actively growing and at their most susceptible stage. As a general guide, annuals should be sprayed when young and perennials just prior to appearance of bud stage. Extremes of cold or drought are unfavourable. The best conditions are when soil is moist, weather is fine and rain unlikely within 6 hours of application.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

BOOM SPRAYING – Use 30-120 L/ha of water. Use a minimum of 170 L/ha water for LINSEED. AERIAL SPRAYING – Use 10-90 L/ha of water. HIGH VOLUME SPRAYING – Use 1500-2500 L/ha of water.

EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND USAGE Equipment that has been used for this chemical should not be used for the application of other materials to sensitive plants, unless it has been well washed out with hot soapy water or 1% solution of ammonia, followed by several clear water rinses.

COMPATIBILITY This product may be tank mixed with Broadstrike™ Herbicide, bromoxynil, dicamba, diflufenican, diuron (500 g/L or 900 g/kg), chlorsulfuron, metsulfuron, Hotshot™ Herbicide, Lontrel™ Herbicide, Lontrel™ 750SG Herbicide, Sertin®, Spray·Seed®, Starane™ Advanced Herbicide, Flowable terbutryn, Tordon™ 242 Herbicide, Torpedo™ Herbicide and Tribunil®.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

1. As formulations of other manufacturers’ products are beyond the control of Dow AgroSciences all mixtures should be tested on a small scale before mixing in the spray tank. 2. Tank mixing instructions: Fill the spray tank 1/4 full of water and agitate. Add wettable powders and water dispersible granules first. Agitate until these are uniformly dispersed, meanwhile adding water until the tank is 90% full. Add suspension concentrates (flowables) then soluble concentrates. Emulsifiable concentrates go in last. Top off the tank with water and continue agitation until all the ingredients are properly mixed. Observe any mixing sequence instructions mentioned on the tank mix products.

Legume Tolerance: The use of Canvas 750 Selective Herbicide is preferred to 2,4-D amine or 2,4-D LV ester in situations where legumes are undersown in the crop. NB. The tolerance of pasture legumes to applied product can vary with species, variety, growing conditions, stage of growth and companion crop cover. DO NOT spray cereal crops undersown with lucerne as damage may result.

PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK Low hazard to bees. May be applied at any time as recommended in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE.




Canvas™ 750 Selective Herbicide is a member of the Phenoxys group of herbicides. Canvas™ 750 Selective Herbicide has the disruptors of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management Canvas™ 750 Selective Herbicide is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Canvas™ 750 Selective Herbicide and other Group I 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 Canvas™ 750 Selective Herbicide or other Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Canvas™ 750 Selective Herbicide to control resistant weeds.


DO NOT spray in high winds. DO NOT spray crops or weeds outside the stages indicated in "CRITICAL COMMENTS" as damage, loss of yield or inadequate weed control may result. Drift Warning: DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures. Avoid spray drift onto susceptible crops such as cotton, tobacco, tomatoes, vines, fruit trees, vegetables, legume crops and pastures, oilseed crops and susceptible trees (e.g. Kurrajongs, Belahs and Eucalypts). DO NOT use unless wind speed is more than 3 kilometres per hour and less than 15 kilometres per hour, as measured at the application site. DO NOT apply with smaller than coarse to very coarse spray droplets according to the ASABE S572 definition for standard nozzles.


RE-ENTRY PERIOD

Hand weeding should not be performed for 7 days after spray application unless workers wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing), chemical resistant gloves and footwear.

HARVEST WITHHOLDING PERIOD

COMPATIBILITY

Barley, Oats, Triticale and Wheat: None required when used as directed. When using Conclude Herbicide in a tank mix with another product, observe the Harvest Withholding Period of the other product.

Conclude Herbicide is compatible with the following: Broadleaf Herbicides: Bromoxynil, bromoxynil-MCPA, MCPA LVE, MCPA amine, Starane™ Advanced, Lontrel™, dicamba, Ally1 Adjuvants: Always use Uptake™ Spraying Oil unless tank mixing with metsulfuron. When tank mixing with Ally1 use a non-ionic wetter at 200 mL/100 L.

DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT TREATED CROPS FOR STOCK FEED FOR 7 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION of Conclude Herbicide. When using Conclude in a tank mix with another product, observe whichever Stockfood Withholding Period is the longer.

BOOM SPRAYING: Apply Conclude Herbicide in sufficient water to obtain good coverage. It should be applied by an accurately calibrated ground rig using a water volume of 50 – 100 L/ha. Sprayers should aim to apply medium quality spray in accordance with ASABE standard S-572. If applying a coarse quality spray apply in a minimum of 80 L/ha. CROP SAFETY: Barley and Oats – While grain yields are unaffected, slight, transient yellowing and growth retardation may occur in some conditions. Crop recovery is usually rapid, but may be slower if crops are stressed due to prolonged periods of extreme cold, moisture stress (water-logging or drought), nutritional stress, root disease, or previous herbicide treatment. CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT: After using Conclude Herbicide, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose, drain the tank and clean any tank, pump, line and nozzle filters. PARTIAL CLEANING (Rinse only – before using rig to spray barley, triticale and wheat): After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, line, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat procedure twice. COMPLETE CLEANING (Decontamination – before using rig to spray crops that are susceptible to Conclude Herbicide): After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and add a liquid alkali detergent (e.g. Surf®, Omo®, Drive®) at 500 mL/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least fifteen minutes. Drain the whole system. Then remove filters and nozzles and clean separately. Finally rinse inside the tank thoroughly using a pressure hose and flush system with clean water and allow to drain. Note: Chlorine-based cleaners are NOT recommended. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and their roots and watercourses.



MIXING: Conclude Herbicide is a suspension concentrate which may show some separation on storage. Roll, shake or invert the container several times to ensure that Conclude has completely resuspended before measuring to mix. Conclude Herbicide should be added to the spray tank with simultaneous agitation. If agitation is limited, premix the Conclude Herbicide in a bucket before adding to the main tank. Once diluted correctly, Conclude Herbicide remains in suspension. If tankmixing with other products, the following order should be followed: 1. 2. 3. 4.

APPLICATION

Quarter fill the spraytank, maintaining agitation, then: Add Conclude Herbicide (as described above) Add water to half fill the spray tank Add wettable powders, water dispersible granules or other suspension concentrates. 5. Add other emulsifiable concentrates. 6. Add Uptake™ Spraying Oil when spraytank is half-full. (or a wetter if applying with Ally1) 7. Add water to bring to the final spray volume.

CROP SAFETY: Barley and Oats – While grain yields are unaffected, slight, transient yellowing and growth retardation may occur in some conditions. Crop recovery is usually rapid, but may be slower if crops are stressed due to prolonged periods of extreme cold, moisture stress (water-logging or drought), nutritional stress, root disease, or previous herbicide treatment. ROTATIONAL CROPS: Susceptible winter crops may be sown the year following application. Susceptible winter crops include: chickpeas, faba beans, field peas, lentils and lupins or pastures with a lucerne, medic or clover component. Safety to summer crops is under investigation. Please contact your local Dow AgroSciences representative on 1 800 700 096 before planting a summer crop following use of Conclude Herbicide.

WITHHOLDING PERIODS

When using Crusader Herbicide in a tank mix with another product, observe whichever Harvest or Grazing/Stockfood Withholding Period that is the longer. Harvest: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED. Grazing/Stockfood: DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT TREATED CROPS FOR STOCK FEED FOR 4 WEEKS AFTER APPLICATION.

CROP SAFETY Yield is normally unaffected by treatment with Crusader Herbicide or tank mixes. However, transient stem shortening and crop yellowing may occur. Symptoms may be worse where the crop is stressed, heavy rain/irrigation follows application, crops are grown in alkaline soil conditions, crop has poor root growth, double overlap of spray has occurred or a combination of any or all the above. Where crop stress occurs, a longer period may be required for recovery, especially if the crop is stressed by root or foliar disease, poor nutrition, water logging, drought or cold stress. In severe cases and seasons where a hot, dry spring occurs, flowering may be delayed and yield may be reduced. Crusader Herbicide has been tested over major commercially grown crop varieties, but not all of those that may be grown. For information on crop variety selectivity consult your local reseller or Dow AgroSciences. Note: Application of another Group B herbicide to the same crop before or after Crusader’s use may result in more injury than described above. Consult Dow AgroSciences for advice.

Crusader is a selective sulphonamide herbicide. It is a foliar herbicide for post-emergence use in wheat. It will not reliably control weeds that emerge after treatment. Best results are achieved under good growing conditions. Treatment of crop or weeds that are stressed must be avoided.

After using Crusader Herbicide, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose, drain the tank and clean tank, pump, line and nozzle filters. Partial Cleaning – Rinse only before using sprayer to treat triticale or wheat: After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, line, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat procedure twice. Complete Cleaning – Decontamination before using sprayer to treat crops that are susceptible to Crusader Herbicide: After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and add a liquid alkali detergent at 500 mL/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least fifteen minutes. Drain the whole system. Then remove filters and nozzles and clean separately. Finally rinse inside the tank thoroughly using a pressure hose and flush system with clean water and allow to drain. Note: Chlorine-based cleaners are NOT recommended. These tank cleaning recommendations are for Crusader only. Please consult tankmix partner labels to determine requirement for decontamination for other products. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and their roots and watercourses.

MIXING Crusader Herbicide is an oil-based concentrate which may show some separation on storage. Roll, shake or invert the container several times to ensure that Crusader Herbicide has completely redispersed before measuring to mix. Crusader Herbicide should be added to the spray tank with simultaneous agitation. If agitation is limited, premix the Crusader Herbicide in a bucket before adding to the main tank. Once diluted correctly, Crusader Herbicide remains in suspension. Tankmixing If Crusader is to be mixed with other products, use the following order: 1. Quarter fill the spray tank, maintaining agitation, 2. Add Crusader Herbicide (as described above), 3. Add water to half fill the spray tank, 4. Add wettable powders, water dispersible granules or suspension concentrates, 5. Add emulsifiable concentrates, 6. Add wetter when spray tank is half-full, 7.

Weeds should be sprayed while actively growing and at their most susceptible stage. As a general guide, annuals should be sprayed when young and perennials just prior to appearance of bud stage. Extremes of cold or drought are unfavourable. The best conditions are when soil is moist, weather is fine and rain unlikely within 6 hours of application. BOOM SPRAYING - Use 30-120 L/ha of water. AERIAL SPRAYING - Use 10-90 L/ha of water.


DAS LVE 600

Dow AgroSciences LVE 600 MCPA Herbicide is a member of the Phenoxys group of herbicides. Dow AgroSciences LVE 600 MCPA Herbicide has the disruptors of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management Dow AgroSciences LVE 600 MCPA Herbicide is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Dow AgroSciences LVE 600 MCPA Herbicide and other Group I 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 Dow AgroSciences LVE 600 MCPA Herbicide or other Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Dow AgroSciences LVE 600 MCPA Herbicide to control resistant weeds.


APPLICATION INFORMATION

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Insecticide Resistance Warning

For insecticide resistance management, Delegate is a Group 5 insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Delegate and other Group 5 insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Delegate and other Group 5 insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Delegate on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Delegate to control resistant insects. Delegate may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Dow AgroSciences representative or local agricultural department agronomist.

volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the Directions for Use table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of runoff. If volume to be applied is < 1000 L/ha then use the low volume (concentrate) application method for calculation of chemical rate. For volumes > 1000 L/ha use dilute spray rate.

CONCENTRATE SPRAYING Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is, a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see DILUTE SPRAYING above) for the crop canopy. Consult your local adviser, agronomist or Department of Agriculture to determine this volume. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way:


MIXING

Concentrate Spraying Example

Half-fill the spray tank with water, add the appropriate amount of accurately measured Delegate Insecticide, then complete filling the tank.

1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: e.g. 1500 L/ha

Ensure thorough agitation by mechanical or hydraulic action at all times during mixing and application.

3. The concentration factor is 3X (1500 / 500)

Use only clean water within the range pH 5-9 to dilute Delegate Insecticide. DO NOT add non-ionic wetting agent if tank-mixing Delegate with any other products.

APPLICATION

Thorough coverage of the crop is essential. DO NOT apply when conditions are unsuitable for waterbased spray applications. Avoid high temperature, strong winds, inversion conditions, imminent rain or any conditions that may reduce the quality of spray coverage or result in drift from the target area. Techniques to minimise drift should be employed at all times when applying sprays to, or near, sensitive areas.

DILUTE SPRAYING Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of first run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test

98

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: e.g. 500 L/ha 4. If the dilute label rate is 10 g/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 X 10, i.e. 30 g/100 L of concentrate spray The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training. Always follow Industry Best Practices.

RAINFASTNESS Rain can wash Delegate Insecticide from treated plant surfaces and result in reduced insect control. Avoid making spray applications if rain is expected before the spray can dry completely.

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT After using Delegate Insecticide empty the tank and completely drain the system. Rinse the tank, pumps, lines, hoses, filters and nozzles by circulating clean water through the system. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice.

DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK Bee Safety: This product is highly toxic to bees; will kill bees foraging in the crop to be treated or in hives which are over-sprayed or reached by spray drift. Residues may remain toxic to bees for several days after application. Once the spray deposit has dried, foraging bees should not be affected when using spray volumes of 2000 L/ha or less. However, if using spray volumes greater than 2000 L/ha, it is possible that foraging bees may be affected for some days after spraying.

pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose, clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant Local, State or Territory government regulations. DO NOT burn empty containers or product.

SMALL SPILL MANAGEMENT Sweep up material and contain in a refuse vessel for disposal in the same manner as for the container (see STORAGE AND DISPOSAL section).

SAFETY DIRECTIONS



Very Toxic to aquatic life. DO NOT allow the product or used containers to enter dams, ponds, waterways or drains. DO NOT allow irrigation water from treated paddocks to enter adjacent pastures, crops or water supplies. DO NOT apply in strong winds, inversion conditions or any other conditions that may result in drift onto adjacent pastures, crops or water supplies.


Risk to non-target insects. Delegate may have adverse effects on some non-target beneficials, such as foliage dwelling predators, particularly where IPM is practiced.

Will irritate the eyes. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands after use.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

Dithane Rainshield Neo Tec Fungicide is a protectant fungicide for the control of certain fungal diseases in many crops. For best results, apply as a regular spray programme. Thorough coverage of the treated crop is essential.

FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING

For fungicide resistance management Dithane Rainshield Neo Tec Fungicide is a Group M3 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to Dithane Rainshield Neo Tec Fungicide and other Group M3 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungi population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by Dithane Rainshield Neo Tec Fungicide and other Group M3 fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Dithane Rainshield Neo Tec Fungicide to control resistant fungi.

The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of runoff. The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to be changed, as the crop grows. CONCENTRATE SPRAYING - TREE AND VINE CROPS ONLY Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see DILUTE SPRAYING) for the crop canopy or consult your local advisor, agronomist or Department of Agriculture to determine this volume. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way:


MIXING

Slowly place into spray tank as it is being filled, or thoroughly premix in a nurse tank for concentrate or aircraft sprayers. Add other co-applied fungicides, insecticides, surfactants etc after Dithane Rainshield Neo Tec Fungicide has been placed into suspension. Maintain sufficient agitation during mixing and spraying to prevent the product settling out and to ensure a uniform spray mixture. Rinse out spray tank, pumps and nozzles at the end of the day. When preparing spray solutions for use in a hand sprayer, premix as a slurry in a small container, and then add to sprayer containing 1/3 to 1/2 the desired final water volume.

ADJUVANTS

The addition of agricultural adjuvants to Dithane Rainshield Neo Tec Fungicide may improve initial spray deposits, fungicide redistribution and weatherability. See DIRECTIONS FOR USE on adjuvant label for specific recommendations.

APPLICATION DILUTE SPRAYING - TREE AND VINE CROPS ONLY Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and match to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of first run-off. Avoid excessive run-off.

Concentrate Spraying Example 1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: e.g. 1000 L/ha 2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: e.g. 500 L/ha 3. The concentration factor is 2X (1000 / 500) 4. If the dilute label rate is 40 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 2X 40, i.e. 80 mL/100 L of concentrate spray The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training. Always follow Industry Best Practices.

AERIAL APPLICATION

May be applied by agricultural aircraft. Use at least 30 to 50 litres of spray mixture per hectare. Consult the DIRECTIONS FOR USE for the correct rate to be applied in specific crop situations.

SPRAY TIMING Treatments should begin prior to disease infection and continue until the threat of disease has passed. Repeated applications are necessary to protect new plant growth. Reduce the spray interval when weather conditions favour disease development.

NOTE: Where weeds are to be sprayed in a CROP or PASTURE, use only the rates given for the crop in the table below. In most cases this will give control, however some hard to kill weeds or those in advanced stages of growth may only be suppressed, e.g. Rumex spp. (docks) and Polygonum spp. (wireweed, climbing buckwheat) are killed to ground level only.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

Before opening, carefully read DIRECTIONS FOR USE, PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS, SAFETY DIRECTIONS and FIRST AID Instructions. DO NOT spray in high winds. DO NOT spray crops or weeds outside the stages indicated in the CRITICAL COMMENTS as damage, loss of yield or inadequate weed control may result.

APPLICATION INFORMATION This product may be used in either high or low volume sprays. Just pour into water and stir. Boom Spraying - Use 30-120 litres water/ha. Aerial Spraying - Use 10-90 litres water/ha. Note: Refer to the Department of Agriculture / Primary Industries in your state for the current restricted spraying areas.

Dow AgroSciences Esteron LV Herbicide (Esteron LV) is a member of the phenoxys group of herbicides. Esteron LV has the disruptors of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management Esteron LV is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Esteron LV and other Group I 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 Esteron LV or Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Esteron LV to control resistant weeds.



Keep the spray unit for herbicides only if possible. Otherwise wash out the unit with hot soapy water followed by several clear water rinses. DO NOT use wooden spray vats as they cannot be cleaned. Hoses cannot be cleaned and new hoses should be fitted when the unit is to be used for any other purpose.

COMPATIBILITY

This product can be tank mixed with atrazine, dicamba, chlorsulfuron, Garlon™ 600, glyphosate, metsulfuron, paraquat, paraquat/diquat (e.g. SpraySeed®), Starane™ Advanced and triasulfuron.

NOTE:




Legume Tolerance: If clovers are present, care should be taken to ensure that they have reached the 3-4 leaf stage before spraying. Rates above 405 mL of this product per hectare will destroy most clovers, whilst lucerne and medics are susceptible at any strength. Drift Warning: DO NOT apply under meteorological conditions or from spraying equipment which could be expected to cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible plants, adjacent crops, crop lands or pastures. In particular, avoid spray drift and vapour movement onto susceptible crops such as: cotton, tobacco, tomatoes, vines, fruit trees, ornamentals, oil seed and legume crops and other susceptible plants and trees (e.g. Kurrajongs, Belahs, Eucalypts). • DO NOT use unless wind speed is more than 3 kilometres per hour and less than 15 kilometres per hour as measured at the application site. • DO NOT apply with smaller than coarse to very course spray droplets according to the ASABE S572 definition for standard nozzles.


Low hazard to bees. May be applied on any plants at any time as recommended in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used container.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE Restraints: DO NOT apply to new transplants until soil is sealed by packing or irrigation and no cracks are present or crop injury may occur. DO NOT apply to existing weeds as poor control may result. Treatments, including with tank-mix partners, should be made prior to weed emergence and followed by significant rainfall or irrigation (see Soil Activation section below). DO NOT apply to dry soil or in dry conditions as poor control may result. DO NOT apply more than 2 applications within a 12 month period. For Restraints specific to pyrethrum crops, see “Restraints for Pyrethrum Crops” box below. CROP

RATE g/treated ha

CRITICAL COMMENTS

167 to 333

Use higher rate where weed pressure is high, or where longer residual activity is required. Gallery must be activated by at least 12.5 mm rainfall or sprinkler irrigation within 21 days of application. Reduced weed control will result if this does not occur.


Pyrethrum (after crop established but before bud initiation)


Non-bearing and bearing tree fruit and nut orchards, vineyards, nursery tree stock and amenity tree plantings

See the list of weeds controlled in the row below

375 to 750 *(see row below)

*Note: The 375g – 750g use rate above relates to band spraying and refers to per hectare of treated soil, not the total area of crop. Adjust spray application to your specific situation.

Weed Control: The following broadleaf weeds are controlled by Gallery 750 Dry Flowable Herbicide. The degree of control depends on the rate applied, surface conditions and time to activation (see APPLICATION section below for more information): Amaranths (Amaranthus spp.), Black nightshade (Solanum nigrum), Caltrop (Tribulus terrestris), Capeweed (Arctotheca calendula), Chickweed (Stellaria media), Clovers (Trifolium spp.), Deadnettle (Lamium spp.), Erodium (Erodium spp.), Fat hen (Chenopodium album), Flat weed (Hypochaeris radicata), Indian hedge mustard (Sysimbrium orientale), Milk thistle (Sonchus oleraceus), Ox tongue (Picris echioides), Peppercress (Lepidium spp.), Pigweed (Portulaca oleracea), Plantains (Plantago spp.), Salvation Jane (Echium plantagineum), Scarlet pimpernel (Anagallis arvensis), Small flowered mallow (Malva parviflora), Volunteer Canola (Brassica spp.), Wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum) and Wireweed (Polygonum aviculare). FOR BROAD SPECTRUM GRASS AND BROADLEAF WEED CONTROL, Gallery 750 Dry Flowable Herbicide should be tank-mixed with products containing either pendimethalin or oryzalin. For weed control up to 4 months use the lower rate of Gallery 750 Dry Flowable Herbicide and the partner herbicide at its lower rate. For weed control of up to 6 months, use the higher rate of Gallery 750 Dry Flowable Herbicide plus the highest rate of either oryzalin or pendimethalin. Obey the Critical Comments and/or application instructions imposed by the label of the mixing partner. Where grass weeds are more important in perennial crops, use the recommended label rate of either oryzalin or pendimethalin for length of weed control and/or soil type, in tank-mix with Gallery 750 Dry Flower Herbicide.

NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE OR IN ANY MANNER CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION. WITHHOLDING PERIOD: (Harvest): ALL Crops: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED. WITHHOLDING PERIOD: (Grazing): All Crops (except Pyrethrum): NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED. Pyrethrum Crops: DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT FOR STOCK FOOD FOR 12 MONTHS AFTER APPLICATION.

Restraints for Pyrethrum Crops DO NOT apply to Pyrethrum crops within two weeks of another herbicide. DO NOT apply in a mixture with other products in pyrethrum. DO NOT apply to crops older than two years. DO NOT plant susceptible crops (see PROTECTION OF CROPS section below) for at least 2 years after application. DO NOT treat the same areas of land more than two years in a row.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

Gallery 750 Dry Flowable Herbicide is a member of the amide group of herbicides. The product has the diverse sites mode-of-action. For weed resistance the product is a Group O herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other 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 this product or other herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds.

Soil Activation: Moisture as rain or sprinkler irrigation (>12.5mm) is required within 21 days for activation of Gallery 750 Dry Flowable Herbicide or tank-mixes with oryzalin or within 10 days for activation of tank-mixes with pendimethalin. If adequate moisture is not received within the specified period, poor weed control may result.

COMPATIBILITY Gallery 750 Dry Flowable Herbicide is compatible with products containing only oryzalin or only pendimethalin.

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT After using Gallery 750 Dry Flowable, empty the spray unit completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the spray unit using a pressure hose. Drain the spray unit and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles.



MIXING Half fill the spray tank and add the required amount of Gallery 750 Dry Flowable Herbicide. If tank-mixing, add the partner herbicide slowly into the spray tank once Gallery 750 Dry Flowable Herbicide is completely dispersed. Complete filling with the agitator running. Maintain the agitation during spraying. Only mix sufficient spray solution for immediate use and avoid storing. Gallery 750 Dry Flowable and tank-mixes may settle out if agitation is stopped or poor. If settling occurs, re-suspend the residue (re-agitate) before continuing the spray application.

APPLICATION

DO NOT APPLY AERIALLY Apply Gallery 750 Dry Flowable and tank-mixes in 200 to 450 litres of water per hectare (higher spray volumes may give better soil coverage in some soil types). Filter screens should be 50 mesh or larger. Use a medium quality spray as defined by the International BCPC Spray Classification System or the ASABE S572 definitions and apply uniformly, especially within the drip line of trees and vines, so that application above label rates does not occur. Use high enough spray volume to ensure thorough coverage of bare soil for best weed control results. Where tank-mixes are used, apply as a directed spray to the base of grapevines or tree crops. Soil Preparation: Areas to be treated should be free of established weeds, clods, stones and surface trash or cover. Remove surface prunings or trash (weed or crop residue) before applying the product/s. Apply treatment to a fine, even soil surface to obtain best coverage of soil. Failure to apply evenly to soil surface that is free of weeds, clods, stones, surface trash or cover will result in reduced weed control or possible failure.

To rinse: After cleaning the spray unit as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice.

To decontaminate: Wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Quarter fill the tank and add an alkali detergent (e.g. liquid SURF®, OMO®, DRIVE® at 500 mL/100 L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100 L of water) and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow to drain completely. Equipment that has been used to apply Gallery 750 Dry Flowable should be thoroughly decontaminated before using to spray other crops. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and water courses.


A minimum of 2 years should elapse before planting all broadleaf crops, and 3 years before planting sensitive crops such as brassicas, peas, beans, onions and poppies. Grasses are normally unaffected and establish quickly after treatment. Individual crop sensitivity to soil residues should be checked with your field advisor, or Dow AgroSciences representative, before planting any crop following application of this product. Spraydrift or runoff containing isoxaben may result in reduced germination or emergence of non-target plants adjacent to treated areas. DO NOT apply under weather conditions or from spraying equipment that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands, pastures or waterbodies.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

GALLERY 750


GALLERY 750

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Isoxaben is very highly toxic to aquatic plants. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers, or waterways with the chemical or used containers. DO NOT apply if heavy rainfall (i.e. sufficient to cause widespread runoff of water from the treated areas) is likely within 24 hours. After application, DO NOT irrigate to the point of run-off for 24 hours.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

MIXING


Garlon FallowMaster Herbicide is a member of the pyridines group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I 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 this product or Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or local Dow AgroSciences representative.

Half fill the spray unit with water and add the required amount of Garlon FallowMaster. Add the remaining water with the agitator running. If required, then add crop oils or wetters (surfactants). Maintain mechanical or by-pass agitation in the spray tank during spraying. Only mix sufficient solution for immediate daily use and avoid storing.

APPLICATION A. Boom Application Application of Garlon FallowMaster in a minimum spray volume of 50 L/ha is recommended. Use nozzles that produce a MEDIUM to COARSE spray quality at the target (ASABE S572). Boom height must be set to ensure double overlap of nozzle patterns.


COMPATIBILITY

FALLOW SITUATIONS:

Garlon FallowMaster is compatible with the following products: Abound™ 400 Herbicide, Dow AgroSciences (2,4-D) Amine 625 Herbicide, Esteron™ LV Herbicide, glyphosate, Lontrel™ Herbicide, Lontrel™ 750 SG Herbicide, Ripper™ 480 Herbicide, Roundup® CT Broadacre Herbicide, Roundup® PowerMAX, Starane™ 200 or Starane™Advanced Herbicide, Touchdown® HiTech, Lorsban™ 500 EC Insecticide. When mixing with glyphosate in fallow, refer to the glyphosate label for use rate and adjuvants recommended. DO NOT use Uptake™ Spraying Oil or D-C-Trate® Crop Oil.

SORGHUM:

Garlon FallowMaster is compatible with: Starane™ 200 or Starane™ Advanced Herbicide, atrazine (500 or 600 g/L flowable product only). ® ™ Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company (“Dow”) or an affiliated company of Dow

PVC gloves are not recommended for Garlon FallowMaster Herbicide, therefore, when tank mixing with products that need to be handled with PVC gloves, workers should wear nitrile/neoprene gloves.

MINIMUM RECROPPING PERIODS Before using Garlon FallowMaster in tank mixes with other herbicides, check the plant-back information on all product labels. The time between spraying and planting will be determined by the product with the longest plant-back period. Observe the following recropping periods for Garlon FallowMaster: • wheat, barley, sorghum, maize • chickpeas, soybeans, sunflowers • cotton

7 days 7 days 14 days

B. Aerial Application

DO NOT allow Garlon FallowMaster to physically drift onto desirable plants. Aircraft may be used to apply Garlon FallowMaster in fallow situations, when ground application equipment cannot be used due to prolonged wet conditions. A minimum spray volume of 35 L/ha should be used with nozzles that produce a MEDIUM to COARSE spray quality (ASABE S572) at the target are recommended. DO NOT apply Garlon FallowMaster by aircraft unless wind speed is more than 3 km/hr and less than 15 km/hr as measured at the application site and/or air temperature is above 30°C. Avoid application when relative humidity falls below 35%. Human flagging is not authorised unless protected by engineering controls such as vehicles with cabs.

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT WATER-BASED CLEANING

Rinsing After using Garlon FallowMaster, empty the spray unit completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the spray unit using a pressure hose. Drain the spray unit and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. After cleaning the spray unit as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. Decontamination Before spraying cotton and other sensitive crops, with equipment that has been used to apply Garlon FallowMaster, see PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS section. Wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Then quarter fill the tank and add a standard alkali based laundry detergent at 500 g (or mL)/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow to drain. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and water courses.

APPLICATION

COMPATIBILITY

1. WOODY WEED SITUATIONS Weeds need to be actively growing for herbicides to have optimum effect. Delay treatment until all regrowth has had time to grow to one metre high in situations which have been bulldozed, slashed, burnt, ploughed or areas having a previous chemical treatment. A. High Volume Spraying • Thorough coverage of foliage and stems to the point of runoff is essential, however, avoid excess spraying which is wasteful of chemical. Hand Gun • Apply the recommended mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems through a No. 6 to 8 tip at 700 to 1500 kPa. • A spray volume of 3,000 to 4,000 L per infested hectare (30 to 40 L/100 m2) should be used on the weed infestation. Knapsack & 12 volt Sprayer Packs • Only recommended for the control of herbaceous weeds such as capeweed, horehound and saffron thistle. DO NOT use knapsacks or 12 volt sprayer packs to treat woody weed infestations. B. Aerial Application • Apply in 100 to 200 L water/ha. Use a calibrated aircraft to apply in half overlap passes. Nozzle configurations should produce a COARSE spray quality at the target (ASABE S572). • The potential for damage from drift can be greatly reduced by avoiding unsuitable spraying conditions and using spray pressure and nozzles to minimise the production of small droplets. • DO NOT spray when wind exceeds 15 km/hr, air temperature is above 30°C or low humidity conditions (1 yr old

Weed free soil

4 L/ha

Use to control weeds along spray lines only. DO NOT apply to tobacco crop. Apply to soil after solid-set irrigation system has been laid out in the field. Goal Herbicide should be applied to a moist soil. Where very small weeds (2-3 leaf) emerge prior to spraying, the addition of a non-ionic surfactant to the spray mixture is necessary for effective control. Should the weeds be more advanced, the addition of 2 L/ha of Tryquat 200 is required. Avoid spray drift.

Weed free soil

3 or 4 L/ha

DO NOT apply Goal Herbicide once bud swell has occurred. Apply to freshly cultivated weed free soil. Use the higher rate when longer residual control is required (up to 4 months). Where grass weeds are expected to be a major problem, or when control of a wider weed spectrum is required, mix the lower rate with 4.5 L/ha of an oryzalin (500 g/L) product or 4.5 kg/ha of a napropamide (500 g/ kg) product. Refer to product labels for crops, rates, states and weeds controlled and follow all label directions.

Emerged weeds present (4-6 leaf stage)

DO NOT apply Goal Herbicide once bud swell has occurred. Use the higher rate when longer residual control is required (up to 4 months). When young seedling grasses and/or broadleaf weeds are present, apply as a tank mix with glyphosate or paraquat or diquat/paraquat to obtain both knockdown and residual control. A non-ionic surfactant such as BS-1000 should be used at 0.1%v/v. Read and follow all label directions. Where weed growth is large and dense, weeds must be eliminated prior to application of Goal Herbicide, using chemical or mechanical means. Macadamias: Apply in 250 to 500 L water/ha. Apply after harvest to prevent spray contacting nuts. Avoid spray contact with the foliage and stem. DO NOT apply to nuts on the ground.

MIXING

Goal Herbicide is a selective herbicide for the control of certain annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in dormant apples, grapes, peaches, pears, plums, apricots, almonds, macadamia, duboisia, tobacco, coffee, pyrethrum, winter cereals, topical/ subtropical crops, brassicas, onions, Eucalyptus and Pinus spp. and other forestry trees, applied either to weed free soil or to seedling weeds up to the 4-6 true-leaf stage. Goal Herbicide applied to well prepared, weed free soil should not be disturbed or incorporated after application. Weed control for up to 6 months can be expected with high label rates, but spot treatment of escape weeds or perennial grasses may be necessary with knockdown herbicides. When Goal Herbicide is applied to seedling weeds at the 4 to 6 leaf stage, a non-ionic surfactant such as BS-1000® should be added at recommended rates to improve activity, where suggested in the CRITICAL COMMENTS. Goal Herbicide can also be used at low rates as a “spike” to improve the weed spectrum of knockdown herbicides such as glyphosate and paraquat or diquat/paraquat mixtures.

Shake well before use. When using Goal Herbicide alone, fill the spray tank at least 1/3 full with clean water and add the recommended amount of Goal Herbicide while the pump and agitator are running, then complete filling the spray tank. A non-ionic surfactant, if required by label directions, should be added near the end of the filling process to minimise foaming. If tank mixing with oryzalin (500 g/L) or napropamide, add the product to a 1/3 filled tank and then add Goal Herbicide during the filling operation. Maintain agitation during mixing and until spraying is completed. When tank mixing with glyphosate formulations, paraquat, diquat or paraquat/diquat, add these after Goal Herbicide during the filling operation.



Goal Herbicide is a member of the diphenyl ether group of herbicides. The mode of action of Goal Herbicide is to inhibit protoporphyrinogen oxidase. For weed resistance management, Goal Herbicide is a Group G herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to Goal Herbicide and other inhibitors of Group G 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 weeds will not be controlled by Goal Herbicide or other inhibitors or Group G herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Goal Herbicide to control resistant weeds.

TIMING

Residual control For optimum residual weed control, Goal Herbicide should be applied to the soil surface prior to weed emergence after all other agricultural operations, such as mechanical cultivation and re-shaping of irrigation furrows, have been completed. The area should be left undisturbed during the time period of desired weed control. When applied to seedling weeds, they should be young and actively growing. Weed control for up to 6 months can be expected with high label rates, but spot treatment of escape or perennial grasses may be necessary with knockdown herbicides. Post-emergence weed control For optimum post-emergence weed control, Goal Herbicide + glyphosate tank mixes should be applied to small seedling weeds up to 4-6 true-leaf stage. Use of a non-ionic surfactant such as BS-1000 is recommended to improve activity. Weeds should be actively growing and free from environmental stress (drought, cold, insect attack, nutrient deficiency). Cultivation after treatment and prior to or at planting is beneficial for final fallow weed control.

Goal Herbicide + Glyphosate tank mixes Ensure thorough agitation when mixing, filling the spray tank and during application, irrespective of glyphosate formulation used. Follow recommended order and directions for tank mixing Goal and glyphosate. Use all spray mix immediately after preparation. • DO NOT tank mix Goal Herbicide and glyphosate without agitation. • DO NOT allow mix to stand unagitated. • DO NOT store Goal Herbicide and glyphosate tank mixes. • DO NOT mix other agrochemical products with Goal and Roundup PowerMax tank mixtures.

APPLICATION

Spray equipment should be calibrated carefully before use. Goal Herbicide should be applied uniformly with an accurately calibrated, low pressure herbicide sprayer, as a directed treatment to the base of tree and vine crops using flat fan or hollow cone nozzles. Complete coverage of seedling weeds is required for maximum knockdown effect. Ensure both weed foliage and the soil surface are sprayed. Apply using a vehicle mounted boom, calibrate to deliver a droplet spectrum classification defined as medium by ASABE Standard S572, using water volume of 250 to 500 litres per hectare for bare soil or 100 to 1350 litres per hectare when seedling weeds (4 to 6 leaf stage) are treated. Use the higher volumes where weed density is high. Tank mixtures of 75 mL/ha of Goal Herbicide with glyphosate herbicides should be applied in 30 to 200 litres spray volume per hectare. For maximum residual control, Goal Herbicide should NOT be incorporated or disturbed after application.

CROP SAFETY Goal Herbicide may be applied as a directed and/or shielded spray around dormant peach, plum, apricot, almond, apple and pear trees and grapevines of all ages when applied at rates of less than 1 L/ha. When applied at 3 L/ha and above, the trees and grapevines should be at least 3 years of age. DO NOT apply Goal Herbicide once bud swell has occurred when using rates greater than 1 L/ha. Duboisia seedlings and mature plants will tolerate “over-thetop” applications of Goal Herbicide.

Apply GoalTender Herbicide to prepared ground 4 to 7 days prior to transplanting. If soil is dry, irrigation or rainfall is required prior to transplanting for activation of GoalTender Herbicide. Utilise transplanting techniques which cause minimal soil disturbance. Excessive soil disturbance will lessen herbicidal activity. Use the higher rate in situations where weed pressure is known to be heavy.

When seedlings are present, apply as a tank mix with paraquat to give both knockdown and residual control. A non-ionic surfactant should be used in the spray mixture at its recommended rate. Apply as a directed spray to avoid contact with coffee plants. Mature, established weeds must be eliminated by mechanical or chemical means prior to application.

Weeds at the 2 to 4 true leaf stage

Weed free soil

2 or 4 L/ha


Use the higher rate where longer residual control (up to 6 months) is required. An “over-the-top” application will be tolerated. Recently germinated small seedling grasses and broadleaf weeds (4 to 6 true leaves) will be controlled with these rates. Established larger weeds must be eliminated by mechanical or chemical means prior to application of GoalTender Herbicide. Add a non-ionic surfactant at its recommended rate to enhance activity.


Weed free soil (either before or preferably within 4 weeks of transplanting).

Use the higher rate where longer residual activity (up to 4 months) is required.

1.5 or 2 L/ha

Under weed-free conditions, apply as a directed or “over-the-top” spray. Disturbance of the herbicidal barrier on the soil surface at transplantation may reduce the length of weed control. If weed seedlings are present, apply as an “over-the-top” spray. In either situation, use the higher rate for longer residual control. GoalTender Herbicide can be applied in a tank mix with simazine to extend the spectrum and length of weed control. DO NOT use this tank mix in Eucalyptus plantations grown on sands, with no clay or organic matter. The likelihood of foliar damage to trees (especially eucalypts) will increase if applied to foliage that has not hardened off and/ or if the temperature exceeds 20°C. However GoalTender Herbicide is generally regarded as safe to commonly planted forestry species but the sensitivity of less common species should be tested on small areas before a large-scale application is made.

GoalTender Herbicide is a selective herbicide for the control of certain annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in dormant apples, grapes, peaches, pears, plums, apricots, almonds, macadamia, duboisia, tobacco, coffee, pyrethrum, winter cereals, topical/subtropical crops, brassicas, onions, Eucalyptus and Pinus spp. and other forestry trees, applied either to weed free soil or to seedling weeds up to the 4-6 true leaf stage. GoalTender Herbicide applied to well prepared, weed free soil should not be disturbed or incorporated after application. Weed control for up to 6 months can be expected with high label rates, but spot treatment of escape weeds or perennial grasses may be necessary with knockdown herbicides. When GoalTender Herbicide is applied to seedling weeds at the 4 to 6 leaf stage, a nonionic surfactant such as BS-1000 should be added at recommended rates to improve activity, where suggested in the CRITICAL COMMENTS.

Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of GoalTender Herbicide to control resistant weeds.

APPLICATION

DO NOT apply using spraying equipment carried on the back of the user. Re-entry periods DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

MIXING

Shake well before use. When using GoalTender Herbicide alone, fill the spray tank at least 1/ 3 full with clean water and add the recommended amount of GoalTender Herbicide while the pump and agitator are running, then complete filling the spray tank. A non-ionic surfactant, if required by label directions, should be added near the end of the filling process to minimise foaming. If tank mixing with oryzalin (500 g/L) or napropamide, add the product to a 1/ 3 filled tank and then add GoalTender Herbicide during the filling operation. Maintain agitation during mixing and until spraying is completed. When tank mixing with glyphosate formulations, paraquat, diquat or paraquat/diquat, add these after GoalTender Herbicide during the filling operation.

GoalTender Herbicide + Glyphosate tank mixes Ensure thorough agitation when mixing, filling the spray tank and during application, irrespective of glyphosate formulation used. Follow recommended order and directions for tank mixing GoalTender and glyphosate. Use all spray mix immediately after preparation. • DO NOT tank mix GoalTender Herbicide and glyphosate without agitation. • DO NOT allow mix to stand unagitated. • DO NOT store GoalTender Herbicide and glyphosate tank mixes. • DO NOT mix other agrochemical products with GoalTender and Roundup PowerMax tank mixtures.

CROP SAFETY

GoalTender Herbicide may be applied as a directed and/or shielded spray around dormant peach, plum, apricot, almond, apple and pear trees and grapevines of all ages when applied at rates of less than 500 mL /ha. When applied at 1.5 L/ha and above, the trees and grapevines should be at least 3 years of age. DO NOT apply GoalTender Herbicide once budswell has occurred when using rates greater than 500 mL /ha. Duboisia seedlings and mature plants will tolerate “over-the-top” applications of GoalTender Herbicide.

SAFE SOWING INTERVALS

GoalTender Herbicide at up to 37.5 mL/ha may be safely applied 1 day prior to planting broadacre crops such as cereals (wheat, barley, oats, triticale), canola, pulses (lupins, faba beans, field peas) and undersown pastures (lucerne, clover, medics, ryegrass, phalaris, cocksfoot) and 7 days minimum prior to planting cotton or soybeans, provided minimum tillage planting equipment is used with minimal soil disturbance. Inversion, mixing of surface soil with that in the planting zone or covering seed with treated soil may result in injury to emerging crop seedlings. Avoid covering the seed with soil treated with GoalTender Herbicide during the planting operation to minimise crop injury. GoalTender Herbicide has residual soil activity, especially when applied at rates greater than 37.5 mL/ha and on small-seeded horticultural crops.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE RESTRAINTS DO NOT apply this product to salt or erosion prone areas. DO NOT apply this product within 100 metres of a recognised water course. DO NOT apply Graslan™ on land with a slope greater than 20 percent (11 degrees). DO NOT apply Graslan™ under conditions which will cause pellet movement to non-target areas during application. RETAIN at least 20 percent of the original tree population in wildlife corridors that are at least 100 metres wide. These are essential for shade and protection of livestock and native fauna. Ideally, shelter belts should traverse variable terrain, particularly ridgelines and hill tops as well as water courses, and link other vegetated corridors where possible. FOR LONG TERM VIABILITY retain a minimum of 5 hectares for shade areas, regardless of vegetation type. DO NOT apply Graslan™ on field crops, near desirable trees or shrubs or to areas into which their roots may extend or in locations where the chemical may be washed into contact with their roots as injury or death may occur. DO NOT apply Graslan™ to land to be put under field crops within 5 years of application.

FOR NATIVE VEGETATION

APPLICATION

Use of Graslan™ on native vegetation must be done in accordance with STATE and/or LOCAL legislation, including the Vegetation Management Act 2000 in Queensland.

It is recommended that gloves be used during hand application. Apply Graslan™ by uniformly distributing by hand over the desired area after weighing out the recommended quantity of pellets. The best way to calibrate yourself is to weigh a normal handful of pellets. If, for example, a handful weighs 20 grams, then this will treat 20 to 40 m2 at the rate of 0.5 to 1 g/m2. DISPENSER PACK: Apply GRASLAN™ by uniformly distributing by hand after dispensing a single dose (7g) from the dispenser unit. Apply the pellets at 1 to 2 g per metre square. One dose (7g) will treat 7 to 3.5 square metres at these rates.

WITHHOLDING PERIOD



Graslan™ may be applied at any time of the year. Treatments become effective after sufficient rainfall has occurred to move the chemical into the root zone where it is absorbed by woody plants. Applications just prior to seasonal rainfall give the most rapid response. Herbicidal activity will continue for several seasons after application. During this time woody plants may go through repeated defoliation’s and regrowths until death occurs. A single application is normally effective for several years. Forage grass production usually increases as woody weed competition is reduced. Increased grass production is also dependant on adequate rainfall an acceptable grazing management programme. It is important to allow grasses to seed and seedlings to become established after treatment before grazing pressure is increased. Areas treated with Graslan™ may be overseeded with suitable pasture species. Consult your agricultural specialist for details on suitable seeding rates, timing and fertilizer application programme. The residual action of Graslan™ may be impaired if fire occurs before clay pellets are dissolved and the chemical has moved into the root zone.

160

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

When applying pellets, distribute them under the tree or regrowth canopy from the root crown or stems to 30 cm beyond the drip zone of the plants you want to control. The time required for complete plant death depends on soil type, amount of rainfall, root depth, plant species, plant density and rate of Graslan™ used. Some species may go through several defoliation’s from 6 months to 2 years before dying. Timber and regrowth control with Graslan™ pellets may be variable when used on soils with high clay content high organic matter or when treating deep rooted or more tolerant species.

TREATING INDIVIDUAL TREES

TREATING FENCE LINES

Estimate the area within 30 cm beyond the drip zone, i.e. the area under the plant canopy. It is essential that this area is treated as evenly as possible with pellets being spread from the tree trunk to slightly beyond the drip line formed by the branches. Do not throw all the pellets at the base of the tree trunk. This will waste material and could result in poor control. Example

Estimate the area to be treated, along the fence line and then apply Graslan™ pellets on both sides of the fence line as evenly as possible within the area extending 30 cm out beyond drip zone. Example

l e b a L n e m i c e p S CLEANING APPLICATION EQUIPMENT


TREATMENT OF CLUMPS OF TREES OR PATCHES OF REGROWTH Graslan™ pellets are particularly effective in treating areas of regrowth. Estimate the area within 30 cm beyond the drip zone and apply the Graslan™ pellets on a grid pattern to uniformly cover the area. Pellets should be applied over the top of regrowth if at all possible in an attempt to maintain a good distribution pattern. Example

Graslan™ Herbicide is a member of the Ureas group of herbicides. The product has inhibitors of photo-synthesis at photosystem II mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group C herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group C 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 this product or other Group C herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture of local Dow AgroSciences representative.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS DO NOT allow any roots of desirable plants, trees or ornamentals to contact Graslan™. Graslan™ may cause temporary herbicidal symptoms to appear on perennial grasses, including buffel grass, particularly after extended dry periods. Higher rates of application of Graslan™ (2g/m2) may kill grasses, particularly native annuals. This effect can be minimised by application when grasses are dormant (autumn application). Graslan™ may seriously injure desirable forage plants such as pasture legumes and other broadleaf plants. These species may regenerate in subsequent seasons.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

GRASLAN

Thoroughly clean all traces of Graslan™ from vessels holding pellets e.g. bucket and gloves after use. Residues cleaned from this application equipment should not be emptied on areas where they will contact roots of desirable trees, shrubs or plants.


SAFETY DIRECTIONS

Poisonous plants may become more palatable after application of granules and stock should be kept away from these plants until they have died down.

• Harmful if swallowed. • Will irritate the eyes. • Repeated exposure may cause allergic disorders. • Avoid contact with eyes and skin. • When opening the container and preparing the product and using the prepared product wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist and a washable hat and elbow length gloves. • Wash hands after use. • After each day’s use wash gloves and contaminated clothing.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the granules or used containers.


GRASLAN

Store in the closed original container in a dry, cool wellventilated area out of direct sunlight. DO NOT store near food, feedstuffs, fertilisers or seed. Do not dispose of granules on site. Shake bag contents into the spray tank until the bag is empty. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. Puncture or shred and bury empty bags in a local authority landfill. If no landfill is available, bury the containers below 500 mm in a disposal pit specifically marked out and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots. Empty bags and product should not be burnt.

Follow up “missed” plants with a spot spray application. These will be obvious after 6 weeks.

For best results apply in autumn to tall (> 60 cm) plants using two opposite directional passes (up and back).

Blanket wiper applications can be made in summer when plants are smaller but follow up spot spraying may be necessary. Do not disturb (cultivate) the treated patches for at least 3 months. Best long term control is achieved when patches are left undisturbed for as long as possible after treatment (at least 6 months). Spot spraying “missed” plants: thoroughly wet all stems and leaves without producing any solution run-off. Avoid any spray reaching the soil surface.

FOR NATIVE VEGETATION Use of Grazon Extra on native vegetation must be done in accordance with STATE and/or LOCAL legislation.

WITHHOLDING PERIOD Pasture: Cutting or Grazing Pastures for Stock Food: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED. LIVESTOCK DESTINED FOR EXPORT MARKETS The grazing withholding period only applies to stock slaughtered for the domestic market. Some export markets apply different standards. To meet these standards, ensure that in addition to complying with the grazing withholding period, the Export Slaughter Interval is observed before stock are sold or slaughtered.


EXPORT SLAUGHTER INTERVAL (ESI) – 3 days: Livestock that has been grazed on or fed treated crops within 42 days of application should be placed on clean feed for 3 days prior to slaughter. EXPORT GRAZING INTERVAL (EGI) – 42 days. Livestock that has been grazing on treated crops or pasture should not be sold for export slaughter for 42 days (6 weeks) after application of the chemical product, unless the export slaughter interval has been observed. When Grazon Extra is used as directed and the above withholding periods and/or export intervals are observed, treated grain and livestock commodities are considered acceptable for export. However, export requirements are subject to change. Consult your exporter for updated information about specific market requirements. IMPORTANT: Read the MANAGEMENT OF RESIDUES IN COMPOST, MULCHES AND ANIMAL WASTE in the PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVES AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS section of this label.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS MINIMUM RECROPPING PERIODS

Aminopyralid and picloram remain active in the soil for extended periods depending on the rate of application, soil type (clay content), rainfall, temperature, humidity, soil moisture and soil organic matter. The following tables show plant-back periods to particular crops following application of Grazon Extra in different areas/situations of Australia. Table A: Northern New South Wales & Queensland Plant-back periods for rotational crops following application of Grazon Extra for rates up to 600 mL/ha on black cracking clay soils. These plant-back periods are based on a normal rainfall pattern. During drought conditions (or when the rainfall is less than 100 mm for a period of 4 months or greater) the plant-back period may be significantly longer. Plant-back periods for crops following the application of Grazon Extra for rates up to 600 mL/ha.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

APPLICATION Only apply Grazon Extra under atmospheric conditions that do not allow drift onto sensitive crops to occur.

1. WOODY WEED SITUATIONS Weeds need to be actively growing for herbicides to have optimum effect. Delay treatment until all regrowth has had time to grow to approximately 1 metre in situations which have been bulldozed, slashed, burnt, ploughed or areas having a previous chemical treatment. A. High Volume Spraying Thorough coverage of foliage to the point of run-off is essential; however, avoid excess spraying which is wasteful of chemical.

Hand Gun Apply the recommended mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems through a No. 6 to 8 tip at 700 to 1500 kPa (400 to 500 kPa for St John’s wort). A spray volume of 3000 to 4000 L per infested hectare of 1 to 2 metre high blackberry (30 to 40 L/100 m2) should be used. Use 2000 L of spray mixture/ha of galenia infestation (i.e. 20 L /100 m2 infested area). Knapsack & 12 volt Sprayer Packs Apply the recommended spray mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems. Only recommended for the control of herbaceous weeds, such as capeweed, fireweed and spear thistle, and woody weeds that are not regrowth less than 60 cm high or 60 cm diameter.

C. Controlled Droplet Application (C.D.A.) Results similar to high volume spraying can be obtained using Micron Herbi® or similar equipment. Select a nozzle to give a flow rate of 2 mL/sec and sweeping action of approximately 1 m/sec to ensure a droplet density of 20/cm². Use a marking agent, as recommended by the equipment manufacturers, to check spray coverage. Also, consult directions provided with C.D.A. unit.

the blanket may require more frequent solution recharge (rewetting). Ideally, a scraper bar should be mounted in front of the blanket in order to scrape or damage the bark (but not sever the stems) prior to the blanket wiping the stems. This scraper may be mounted at the front of the vehicle. Two passes (in opposite direction) with the blanket increases the contact with the plant. Ground speeds of 10-15 kph are ideal for blanket wiping application.



D. Low Volume High Concentrate Application Techniques Good control will be achieved, similar to high volume application, where bush size enables good coverage of entire bush. Use a marking agent, as recommended by the equipment manufacturers, to check spray coverage. Gas powered gun: Apply 50 mL shots to obtain uniform coverage of 4 to 5 m² of surface area of bush. This relates to 20 droplets/cm² of leaf surface. Sprinkler sprayer: This technique involves using a micro sprinkler that is connected to a hollow fibre glass rod attached to a pneumatic knapsack sprayer. Use at low pressures (50 to 200 kPa) and apply with a slow sweeping action over the top of the plants ensuring even coverage on the leaves. E. Boom Application Application in a minimum spray volume of 200 L/ha for galenia and St. John’s wort and 600 L of water/ha for sickle pod. Use nozzle configurations to produce medium droplets as defined by ASABE S572. Boom height must be set to ensure double overlap of nozzle patterns. 2. FALLOW SITUATIONS

A. Boom Application Application of Grazon Extra in a minimum spray volume of 50 L/ha is recommended using nozzle configurations to produce medium droplets as defined by ASABE S572. Boom height must be set to ensure double overlap of nozzle patterns. B. Blanket Wiper Application Blanket needs to be made from durable and wettable material with a rigid backing. Blanket should be rigidly mounted behind motorised vehicle (eg. tractor, 4-wheel drive vehicle) and set low but never touching the ground. The chemical solution should be fed to the blanket at a flow rate sufficient to keep the blanket wet but not dripping. In thick patches

Rinsing After using Grazon Extra, empty the spray unit completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the unit using a pressure hose. Drain the spray unit, and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. After cleaning the spray unit as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. Decontamination Before spraying cotton and other sensitive crops with equipment that has been used to apply Grazon Extra (see PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NONTARGET PLANTS section). Wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Then quarter fill the tank and add a standard alkali based laundry detergent at 500 g (or mL)/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow to drain. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and watercourses.


Grazon Extra Herbicide is a member of the pyridines group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I 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 the product or other Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of the product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or local Dow AgroSciences representative.

DO NOT send straw from treated pastures off-farm for these purposes or for animal bedding. DO NOT send animal manure, dairy shed and feed pad effluent that has been collected from animals grazing or fed pastures treated within the previous 6 months off-farm. Spreading/irrigating this manure/effluent may cause damage to clover and other susceptible plants. DO NOT send compost made from animal waste that has been collected from animals grazing or fed pastures treated within the previous 6 months off-farm. Such compost may cause damage to clover and other susceptible plants. DO NOT apply animal waste (e.g. manure, slurry) collected from animals grazing or fed pastures treated within the previous 6 months to susceptible plants or land to be used to grow susceptible plants. DO NOT grow susceptible plants within in the relevant plantback period in fields treated with manure/effluent from farms where animals have grazed or been fed treated pasture until a field bioassay shows there are no residues in the soil at levels injurious to the susceptible plants (see the crop rotation section). To promote herbicide decomposition, manure should be evenly incorporated in the surface soil. Breakdown of residues in decomposing plants or manure is more rapid under warm, moist soil conditions and may be enhanced by supplemental irrigation.



Crops susceptible to Grazon Extra include, but are not limited to: peas, lupins, lucerne, navy beans, peanuts, soybeans and other legumes, cotton, flowers, fruit, hops, ornamentals, shade trees and Pinus spp., potatoes, safflower, sugar beet, sunflowers, tobacco, tomatoes, vegetables and vines. Grazon Extra is damaging to susceptible crops during both growing and dormant periods. Grasses are normally unaffected and establish quickly after treatment. Picloram and aminopyralid, two of the active constituents in this product can remain active in the soil for extended periods depending on soil type and application rate, rainfall, temperature, humidity, soil moisture and soil organic matter. DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands, pastures, waterways or native vegetation. DO NOT allow physical spray drift onto waterways, native vegetation and susceptible crops. DO NOT apply close to, or in areas, containing roots of desirable vegetation, where treated soil may be washed onto areas growing (or areas to be planted with) desirable plants. DO NOT apply on sites where surface water from heavy rain can be expected to run off to areas containing, or to be planted with susceptible crops or plants. DO NOT move soil, which may have been treated to areas where desirable plants are to be grown.

MANAGEMENT OF RESIDUES IN COMPOST, MULCHES AND ANIMAL WASTE

DO NOT cut pasture for hay or silage production within 6 months of application, where it is intended for use off-farm. DO NOT use treated plant material to make, compost, mulches or mushroom substrate.

174

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

SOIL BIOASSAY

A simple bioassay can be conducted by collecting at least 10 spade spits of soil to a depth of 200 mm from around the paddock and thoroughly mixing the soil together. Place some of this soil in a shallow container to a depth of 3-5 cm and sow 100 seeds of the susceptible plant to be grown (subterranean or white clover is a good indicator plant where it is not practical to use the susceptible crop) into the soil. Keep in a warm and well light location and ensure the soil does not dry out. After plant emergence, check the number of plants that have germinated and seedling vigour. Symptoms of Grazon residues include non-germination or low plant emergence, leaf cupping, leaf whitening, stem elongation and twisting. If these symptoms occur do not grow the susceptible plant. Repeat the bioassay again after a further time interval. Further information on residues in composts, mulches and animal wastes can be found at www.dowagrosciences.com.au

Poisonous plants may become more palatable after spraying and stock should be kept away from these plants until they have died down. Many plants remain poisonous after death, and stock should not be allowed access, as there is a likelihood that they may graze the dead material. Such material should be burnt if possible.


FIRST AID

If poisoning occurs contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone: Australia 13 11 26. If in eyes, hold eyes open, flood with water for at least 15 minutes and see a doctor.

Note: Before using Hotshot in tank mixes with other herbicides, check the plant-back information on all product labels. The most residual product, i.e. the product with the longest plant-back period, will determine the time between spraying and planting the next crop.

MIXING

Hotshot can be mixed with water only. Mix only sufficient chemical for each day use and avoid storing mix. Half fill the spray tank with water and add the required quantity of Hotshot and complete filling. Agitate continuously to ensure thorough mixing before and during application. Tank mixtures: Wettable powder or dry flowable formulations (e.g. water dispersible granules) should be added to the spray tank first, followed by suspension concentrates (flowables), water soluble salts and then emulsifiable concentrate formulations (e.g. Starane™ Advanced Herbicide). Add spraying oils and surfactants (wetters) last, if required.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVES AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS

DO NOT use on land to be cultivated for growing susceptible crops for up to 20 months of applying Hotshot, except where indicated in the MINIMUM RECROPPING PERIODS section of the GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS. Legumes, vines, vegetables, cotton, tomatoes, ornamentals and many other plants are highly susceptible to this herbicide during both growing and dormant periods. Cereal crops, canola and grasses can be sown safely after using HOTSHOT. This product will kill legumes (clovers, medics) present in the crop at the time of spraying. In the season, following application of this product the regeneration or establishment of sensitive legumes (clover, medics, peas, and lupins) may be adversely affected by soil residues. DO NOT allow spray drift onto sensitive native vegetation or susceptible crops, such as cotton, tomatoes, vines, fruit, potatoes, vegetables, ornamentals, tobacco, lupins and other legumes, safflower, sugar beet, hops, flowers or shade trees. DO NOT use under meteorological conditions or with spraying equipment likely to produce drift. Minimise spray drift by using low pressures and nozzles, which DO NOT give a fine droplet size. DO NOT apply close to or on areas containing roots of desirable vegetation, where treated soil may be washed to areas growing, or to be planted to desirable plants, or on sites where surface water from heavy rain can be expected to run off to areas containing or to be planted to susceptible crops or plants. DO NOT move soil, which may have been sprayed, to areas where desirable plants are to be grown.

DO NOT send compost made from animal waste that has been collected from animals grazing or fed crops treated within the previous 6 months (pasture) or 6 weeks (cereals) off-farm. Such compost may cause damage to clover and other susceptible plants. DO NOT apply animal waste (e.g. manure, slurry) collected from animals grazing or fed crops treated within the previous 6 months (pasture) or 6 weeks (cereals) to susceptible plants or land to be used to grow susceptible plants. DO NOT grow susceptible plants within the relevant plantback period in fields treated with manure/effluent from farms where animals have grazed or been fed treated plants until a field bioassay shows there are no residues in the soil at levels injurious to the susceptible plants (see the crop rotation section). To promote herbicide decomposition, manure should be evenly incorporated in the surface soil. Breakdown of residues in decomposing plants or manure is more rapid under warm, moist soil conditions and may be enhanced by supplemental irrigation.


MANAGEMENT OF RESIDUES IN COMPOST, MULCHES AND ANIMAL WASTE DO NOT cut pasture for hay or silage production within 6 months of application, where it is intended for use off-farm. DO NOT cut cereals intended for hay or silage production within 6 weeks of application, where it is intended for use off-farm. DO NOT use treated plant material to make mushroom substrate. DO NOT send straw from treated crops off-farm for these purposes or for animal bedding. DO NOT send animal manure, dairy shed and feed pad effluent that has been collected from animals grazing or fed crops treated within the previous 6 months (pasture) or 6 weeks (cereals) off-farm. Spreading/irrigating this manure/effluent may cause damage to clover and other susceptible plants.

SOIL BIOASSAY

A simple bioassay can be conducted by collecting at least 10 spade spits of soil to a depth of 200 mm from around the paddock and thoroughly mixing the soil together. Place some of this soil in a shallow container to a depth of 3-5 cm and sow 100 seeds of the susceptible plant to be grown (subterranean or white clover is a good indicator plant where it is not practical to use the susceptible plant) into the soil. Keep in a warm and well lit location and ensure the soil does not dry out. After crop emergence, check the number of plants that have germinated and seedling vigour. Symptoms of Hotshot residues include non-germination or low plant emergence, leaf cupping, leaf whitening, stem elongation and twisting. If these symptoms occur – do not grow the susceptible plant. Repeat the bioassay again after a further time interval. Further information on residues in composts, mulches and animal wastes can be found at www.dowagrosciences.com.au

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013


For fungicide resistance management the product is a Group 3 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to Indar Fungicide and other Group 3 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungal population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by Indar Fungicide or other Group 3 fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Indar Fungicide to control resistant fungi. Note: Indar Fungicide may be harmful to beneficial arthropods and may not be suitable for use in IPM programs. APPLICATION: Nectarines DO NOT apply to nectarines by aircraft. Apply in a sufficient volume of water to achieve thorough coverage of all blossoms, fruit and foliage. The volume of water required to achieve this will depend on the size of the trees. Apply by dilute or concentrate spraying equipment. Apply the same total amount of product to the target crop whether applying this product by dilute or concentrate spraying methods. DO NOT use at concentrations greater than 40 mL/100 L of water. Dilute Spraying Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of run-off. The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to be changed, as the crop grows.

Concentrate Spraying Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see Dilute Spraying above) for the crop canopy. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way: Example only 1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example 1200 L/ha 2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example 600 L/ha 3. The concentration factor in this example is: 2 X (i.e. 1200 L ÷ 600 L = 2) 4. If the dilute label rate is 15 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 2 x 15, which is 30 mL/100 L of concentrate spray. The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water, and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practices. APPLICATION: Bananas


Ground Application Apply by misting or air-blast machines to provide thorough coverage of all foliage. Aerial Application Apply by aircraft in a minimum total volume of 20 L/ha. APPLICATION: Wheat DO NOT apply to wheat by aircraft. Ground Application Apply in spray volumes from 50 to 100 L of water /ha using a medium quality spray. Good coverage is required for best results. PRECAUTION: Re-entry Period DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried unless wearing cotton overalls (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day.

DISEASE Powdery mildew (Uncinula necator)

RATE Dilute Spraying: 10-20 mL/100 L water

CRITICAL COMMENTS Use as a protectant treatment only. Legend Fungicide has no curative activity and does not control existing infection (powdery mildew between infection and visible stage). Use 10 mL rate as part of a protectant spray program. Retreat every 7-10 days as necessary.

Concentrate Spraying: Refer to the Mixing/Application Section

Use 20 mL rate during periods when high or sustained infection pressure is expected. Retreat every 10-14 days as necessary.


Apply by dilute or concentrate spraying equipment. Apply the same total amount of product to the vines whether applied by either method.

DO NOT use more than 3 applications to any vine crop in one season.

Legend Fungicide is a foliar applied protectant fungicide that only has preventative properties. The protectant activity demonstrated by Legend Fungicide when applied to plant foliage is primarily by volatilization and reabsorption onto new, untreated plant material. Protection is not limited to the leaf to which it is applied. Legend Fungicide is strongly bound to leaf waxes and therefore not easily washed off the foliage by rain if allowed to dry after application.


WITHHOLDING PERIOD

HARVEST WITHHOLDING PERIOD: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 14 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION. STOCKFOOD WITHHOLDING PERIOD: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED. Grapes For Export Wine: REFER TO THE AWRI WINEGRID.

EXPORT OF TREATED PRODUCE Table grape growers should note that suitable MRLs or import tolerances may not be established in all markets for table grapes treated with Legend Fungicide. If you are growing table grapes for export, please check with Dow AgroSciences for the latest information on MRLs and export tolerances before using Legend Fungicide.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

MIXING Agitate or shake the container vigorously prior to use. The required amount of Legend Fungicide should be added to a half-full spray tank and agitated well during completion of filling. Ensure constant and thorough agitation by mechanical or hydraulic action during mixing and application. Do not leave spray solutions to stand overnight.

STORAGE OF DILUTED SPRAY MIX Whenever possible use the spray mix immediately after it is prepared. However if undesirable weather conditions or mechanical breakdown occur, the stored spray mix may be used up to 6 hours after initial mixing. Ensure regular agitation by mechanical or hydraulic action to thoroughly remix every 3 hours.

The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way: Example Only 1) Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example, 1500 L/ha 2) Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example, 500 L/ha 3) The concentration factor in this example is: 3 x (i.e. 1500 L ÷ 500 L = 3) 4) If the dilute label rate is 10 mL/100 L (low Legend rate), then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 10, i.e. 30 mL/100 L of concentrate spray. The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practices. UNIT CANOPY ROW (UCR) APPLICATION Another method for determining the amount of product to spray is called the unit canopy row method. This method is not based on planted area (rate/ha) or row spacing but considers the width and height of the foliage to determine the appropriate volume to apply either as a dilute spray or a concentrate spray. The applied volume per hectare increases as row spacings become smaller and canopy sizes increase. This method of application is described in a Fact Sheet (Agdex 210/744, June 2000 by Geoff Furness and Peter Magarey) obtainable from SARDI Loxton Centre. For further information on how to apply this method, contact your local advisor, department of agriculture staff, the factsheet above or the authors.


APPLICATION

For volumes of, or greater than, 1000 L/ha, use the dilute spray rate. If volume to be applied is less than 1000 L/ha then use the concentrate spraying application method. Application volume will vary with vine growth stage, canopy density, pruning regime and crop vigour. For best results follow the recommendations below. DILUTE SPRAYING APPLICATION Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of first run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the Directions for Use table for each 100 L of water in the tank. Spray to the point of run-off. The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to be changed, as the crop grows. Thorough coverage of the grapevines and bunches is essential. CONCENTRATE SPRAYING APPLICATION Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is, a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see DILUTE SPRAYING above) for the crop canopy. Consult your local advisor, agronomist or Department of Primary Industries to determine this volume. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate.

LEGEND


Legend Fungicide is a member of the phenoxyquinoline group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management the product is a Group 13 Fungicide, which interfere with spore germination and appressoria formation. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to the product and other Group 13 Fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungal population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by this product or other Group 13 Fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant fungi. Since Legend Fungicide has a unique mode of action, it will control powdery mildew that may be resistant to fungicides from groups with other modes of action. To help prevent the onset of resistance DO NOT apply more than three applications of Legend Fungicide or any product containing an active ingredient from the same class or mode of action group, to any grapevine crop in any one season.

SMALL SPILL MANAGEMENT Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Wear a face shield or goggles, overalls buttoned to neck and wrist, chemical resistant gloves and footwear. Stop leak when safe to do so. Dam area and prevent entry into waterways, and drains. Small spills/leaks: Absorb with material such as sand, soil or sawdust.

NOTE: DO NOT USE ON LUCERNE. CLOVERS AND MEDICS WILL BE ELIMINATED FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR. Victoria only: Use the lower rate only on light soils (sand and sandy loam) where a slightly lower degree of control is acceptable. Use the higher rate on all soil types where complete control is required. Addition of a wetting agent at label rates is recommended for treatment of hardhead thistle. Spray between September and April on actively growing plants for effective control. Thorough coverage is essential. Apply in 200 to 250 L of water/ha. BOOM SPRAYING: Use the higher rates of Lontrel plus MCPA on multicrowned plants or rosettes larger than 30 cm in diameter. Spraying may be done at any time during active growth, usually in early winter or spring. Avoid spraying during the dormant winter period or at any time when thistles are not actively growing. Do not spray flowering thistles. PRE-SPRAY MANAGEMENT: The pasture should be slightly grazed prior to spraying to reduce clover and grass cover and expose the smaller thistles to the spray. The grazed pasture should be left 7 days to allow thistles to freshen prior to treatment. POST-TREATMENT MANAGEMENT: Response of thistles to treatment with the Lontrel plus MCPA mixture will be slow compared to the standard treatments with 2,4-D or MCPA. If possible delay grazing of sprayed thistles for 14 days after treatment. CLOVER DAMAGE: The Lontrel plus MCPA mixture can be very damaging to subterranean clover. The lower rate is no more damaging than label rates of 2,4-D or MCPA. The higher rate of the Lontrel plus MCPA mixture will reduce the clover component of the pasture for about 2 months. Clover recovery will be quicker during periods of active growth. HANDGUN (Spot spray): Treat from rosette stage to early flowering. Thorough spraying is necessary. DRENCHGUN: Apply 10 mL to rosette crown. To multicrown plants, apply 10 mL to each crown.

PARTIAL CLEANING (before spraying other labelled or tolerant crops): After using Lontrel, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose. Quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, line, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat procedure twice. COMPLETE CLEANING (before spraying susceptible crops): After using Lontrel, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose. Quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate as above, then drain. Quarter fill the tank again and add a liquid alkali detergent at 500 g (or mL)/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Drain, remove filters and nozzles and clean separately. Rinse inside the tank thoroughly using a pressure hose and flush system with clean water.


GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS MIXING

LONTREL

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and water courses.

Half fill the spray tank with water and add the required quantity of Lontrel and complete filling. Agitate continuously to ensure thorough mixing before and during application. Only mix sufficient chemical for each day’s work. Tank mixtures: Wettable powder or dry flowable formulations should be added to the spray tank first, followed by suspension concentrates (flowables), aqueous concentrates (Lontrel) and the emulsifiable concentrate formulations (e.g. Verdict™ 520 or MCPA LVE).


COMPATIBILITY

Lontrel is compatible with the following: BROADLEAF HERBICIDES: Starane™ 200 or Starane™ Advanced, Ally®, bromoxynil, chlorsulfuron, diuron, glyphosate, MCPA amine, MCPA LVE, paraquat, SpraySeed®, terbutryn, 2,4-D amine. GRASS HERBICIDES IN CEREAL CROPS: Diclofop methyl, Grasp®+, Puma®+ (+ Grasp and Puma for wild oat control only). GRASS HERBICIDES ON BROADLEAF CROPS: Verdict™ 520 Herbicide.

APPLICATION

BOOM SPRAYING CROP and PASTURES: Apply Lontrel in sufficient water to obtain good coverage. It should be applied by an accurately calibrated ground rig or aircraft, delivering 200 to 300 micron droplets and not less than 50 L/ha water volume for boom sprayers or not less than 20 L/ha for aerial applications. Hardhead thistle - Use a spray volume of 200 to 250 L/ha of water. Silver wattle - Use a spray volume of 150 to 200 L/ha of water by ground boomspray and a minimum spray volume of 50 L/ha by aircraft.

HIGH VOLUME HAND GUN: Apply the recommended mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems through a No. 6-8 tip at 700 to 1500 kPa. Spray volume for effective coverage of dense 2 metre high silver wattle should be 30 to 40 litres of spray per 100 m2 (10 m x 10 m) of infestation. For larger areas an equivalent would be 3000 to 4000 litres per infested hectare.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

Lontrel Herbicide is a member of the pyridines group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other disrupters of plant cell growth 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 the product or other disrupters of plant cell growth herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of the product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or local Dow AgroSciences representative.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment that may cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures.

PLANTBACK PERIODS FOR SOUTHERN AUSTRALIAN WINTER DOMINANT RAINFALL AREAS (Sth NSW, VIC, SA, WA) Required rainfall - A minimum 25 mm rain event in the post harvest summer to autumn period, with a subsequent extended period of at least 1 week where the top 10 cm of the soil stays moist is required to enable breakdown of soil residues. Fastest residue breakdown will occur under good soil moisture and warm conditions, which promote microbial activity. Where significant rain (> 25 mm) has fallen in summer to autumn, with soil wetting for at least one week, the following plantback periods apply:

LONTREL

Composts and mulches - DO NOT apply Lontrel Herbicide to crops or pastures that will be used for the production of compost or mulches or mushroom substrate. Such compost or mulch made from plant material treated with Lontrel may cause damage to susceptible crops and plants. Susceptible crops and plants include, but are not limited to chickpeas, clover, cotton, faba beans, field peas, fruit trees, lentils, lupins, lucerne, medics, ornamentals, potatoes, safflower, tomatoes, vegetables, grape and kiwifruit vines, vetches, and wattles. Field peas, faba beans, lentils and vetches are particularly susceptible and should not be sown the season following an application of Lontrel at 500 mL/ha. Where Lontrel residue carry over from use rates of less than 500 mL/ha is suspected and susceptible crops are to be planted, test the treated area as follows: • Field bioassay - where rain allows, plant a small area of the susceptible crop 4 to 6 weeks before desired planting date and take note of any symptoms of injury. If any herbicide symptoms are observed, only plant either canola or a cereal (see recommendation for northern and southern Australia below). • Pot bioassay - where not practical to do field bioassay, plant a small number of seeds of the susceptible crop into pots containing soil from the treated field. Do this 4 to 6 weeks before desired planting date. If any herbicide symptoms are observed, only plant either canola or a cereal (see recommendation for northern and southern Australia below). Stubble from treated crops - ensure that harvesters effectively spread crop straw and do not leave a heavy ‘header trail’ after harvest. Burn (if legal in the area), bale and remove, slash or incorporate stubble as soon as practical after harvest and as long as possible before planting next year to allow microbial breakdown of any residues in straw. Heavy stubble loads may carry more residue into the following season. Where heavy stubble burdens and/or non-wetting soils exist and less than recommended rain amount have occurred from application to planting the susceptible crop (see below), only plant a winter or summer cereal or canola. Planting crops following use of Lontrel herbicide in previous crop - planting crops ‘dry’ without significant rain (see below) in the ‘autumn break’ increases the risk of injury to susceptible crops. This practice should be avoided, or only plant a winter or irrigated summer cereal crop or canola. In severely dry conditions, where less than 30% of average annual rainfall and/or less than the minimum rain (see below) has fallen between application and planting the next year, only plant a winter or irrigated summer cereal or canola.


SAFETY DIRECTIONS

DO NOT graze or cut treated crops for stock food except as specified under WITHHOLDING PERIODS.

• May irritate the eyes and skin. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. • DO NOT inhale the spray mist. • When preparing the spray, wear elbow-length PVC gloves and a face shield. • After use and before eating, drinking or smoking, wash hands, arms and face thoroughly with soap and water. • After each day’s use, wash gloves and face shield.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Lontrel has low toxicity to fish, birds, honey bees, livestock, earthworms and aquatic organisms. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with chemical or used containers.

BOOM SPRAYING: Use the higher rates of Lontrel Advanced plus MCPA on multicrowned plants or rosettes larger than 30 cm in diameter. Spraying may be done at any time during active growth, usually in early winter or spring. Avoid spraying during the dormant winter period or at any time when thistles are not actively growing. Do not spray flowering thistles. PRE-SPRAY MANAGEMENT: The pasture should be slightly grazed prior to spraying to reduce clover and grass cover and expose the smaller thistles to the spray. The grazed pasture should be left 7 days to allow thistles to freshen prior to treatment. POST-TREATMENT MANAGEMENT: Response of thistles to treatment with the Lontrel plus MCPA mixture will be slow compared to the standard treatments with 2,4-D or MCPA. If possible delay grazing of sprayed thistles for 14 days after treatment. CLOVER DAMAGE: The Lontrel Advanced plus MCPA mixture can be very damaging to subterranean clover. The lower rate is no more damaging than label rates of 2,4-D or MCPA. The higher rate of the Lontrel Advanced plus MCPA mixture will reduce the clover component of the pasture for about 2 months. Clover recovery will be quicker during periods of active growth. MOTORISED HANDGUN (Spot spray): Treat from rosette stage to early flowering. Thorough spraying is necessary. DRENCHGUN: Apply 10 mL to rosette crown. To multicrown plants, apply 10 mL to each crown.

NSW only

Apply the spray from September to October. Apply by boom spray only. DO NOT apply to thistles over 20 cm in diameter. When thistles are over 20 cm in diameter use Lontrel Advanced plus MCPA (referred to above). Clover Damage: Damage to white clover will be no greater than damage with MCPA alone and less than damage from Lontrel plus MCPA mixtures. Damage to sub-clover may be greater than with MCPA or 2,4-D alone. DO NOT use for spot treatment.

GROUND BOOM USE ONLY nozzles that the nozzles’ manufacturer has rated to deliver a COARSE, a VERY COARSE or an EXTREMELY COARSE droplet size category as referenced to ASABE S572 or BCPC. Choose a nozzle specified to provide the droplet size category required in the label Spray Drift Restraints. DO NOT use a higher spray system pressure than the maximum the manufacturer specifies for the selected nozzle to deliver the droplet size category required in the label Spray Drift Restraint.

Quarter fill the tank again and add a liquid alkali detergent at 500 mL/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Drain, remove filters and nozzles and clean separately. Rinse inside the tank thoroughly using a pressure hose and flush system with clean water. These tank cleaning recommendations are for Lontrel only. Please consult tankmix partner labels to determine requirements for decontamination. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and water courses.


Apply in 50-100 L water/ha using at least a coarse spray through accurately calibrated equipment. Hardhead thistle – Use at least a coarse spray and 200 to 250 L/ha of water. Silver wattle – Use at least a coarse spray and 150 to 200 L/ha of water.

AERIAL APPLICATION

Apply in not less than 20 L water/ha using a COARSE spray through accurately calibrated equipment. DO NOT use less than 50 L/ha for silver wattle. Fixed wing: For up to a maximum aircraft speed of 120 knots and a COARSE droplet size category, USE ONLY narrow angle flat fan nozzles with spray angle less than or equal to 40° and oriented straight back to the light direction. USE ONLY a spray system pressure greater than or equal to 4 bar. Helicopter: For helicopter applications requiring a COARSE or a VERY COARSE spray droplet size category, USE ONLY nozzles selected with the methods previously specified for fixed-wing aircraft in Section 2.

MOTORISED HIGH VOLUME HAND GUN

Apply the recommended mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems through a No. 6-8 tip at 700 to 1500 kPa. Spray volume for effective coverage of dense two metre high silver wattle should be 30 to 40 litres of spray per 100 m2 (10 m x 10 m) of infestation. For larger areas an equivalent would be 3000 to 4000 litres per infested hectare.


PARTIAL CLEANING (before spraying other labelled or tolerant crops): After using Lontrel Advanced, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose. Quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, line, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat procedure twice. COMPLETE CLEANING (before spraying crops that are susceptible to residues of Lontrel Advanced). After using Lontrel Advanced, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose. Quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate as above, then drain.


Lontrel Advanced is a member of the pyridines group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I 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 the product or other Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of the product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or local Dow AgroSciences representative.


DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment that may cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures. Composts and mulches - DO NOT apply Lontrel Advanced to crops or pastures that will be used for the production of compost or mulches or mushroom substrate. Such compost or mulch made from plant material treated with Lontrel may cause damage to susceptible crops and plants. Susceptible crops and plants include, but are not limited to chickpeas, clover, cotton, faba beans, field peas, fruit trees, lentils, lupins, lucerne, medics, ornamentals, potatoes, safflower, tomatoes, vegetables, grape and kiwifruit vines, vetches, and wattles. Field peas, faba beans, lentils and vetches are particularly susceptible and should not be sown the season following an application of Lontrel Advanced at 500 mL/ha.

LONTREL ADVANCED

APPLICATION

LONTREL ADVANCED

Where Lontrel Advanced residue carryover from use rates of less than 250 mL/ha is suspected and susceptible crops are to be planted, test the treated area as follows: • Field bioassay – where rain allows, plant a small area of the susceptible crop four to six weeks before desired planting date and take note of any symptoms of injury. If any herbicide symptoms are observed, only plant either canola or a cereal (see recommendation for northern and southern Australia below). • Pot bioassay – where not practical to do field bioassay, plant a small number of seeds of the susceptible crop into pots containing soil from the treated field. Do this four to six weeks before desired planting date. If any herbicide symptoms are observed, only plant either canola or a cereal (see recommendation for northern and southern Australia below). Stubble from treated crops – ensure that harvesters effectively spread crop straw and do not leave a heavy ‘header trail’ after harvest. Burn (if legal in the area), bale and remove, slash or incorporate stubble as soon as practical after harvest and as long as possible before planting next year to allow microbial breakdown of any residues in straw. Heavy stubble loads may carry more residues into the following season. Where heavy stubble burdens and/or non-wetting soils exist and less than recommended rain amount have occurred from application to planting the susceptible crop (see below), only plant a winter or summer cereal or canola. Planting crops following use of Lontrel Advanced in previous crop – planting crops ‘dry’ without significant rain (see below) in the ‘autumn break’ increases the risk of injury to susceptible crops. This practice should be avoided, or only plant a winter or irrigated summer cereal crop or canola. In severely dry conditions, where < 30% of average annual rainfall and/ or less than the minimum rain (see below) has fallen between application and planting the next year, only plant a winter or irrigated summer cereal or canola.

PLANTBACK PERIODS FOR NORTHERN AUSTRALIA SUMMER DOMINANT RAINFALL AREAS (Nth NSW, QLD):

PLANTBACK PERIODS FOR SOUTHERN AUSTRALIAN WINTER DOMINANT RAINFALL AREAS (Sth NSW, VIC, SA, WA):

DO NOT graze or cut treated crops for stock food except as specified under WITHHOLDING PERIODS.

Required rainfall before plantback: If planting susceptible summer crops – at least 100 mm rain or irrigation. If planting susceptible winter crops – at least 150 mm rain or irrigation. If planting a cereal or canola crop – at least 50 mm of rain or irrigation. For all situations, sufficient rainfall or irrigation to enable soil wetting for at least one week is essential to enable residue breakdown before planting susceptible crops. Where these requirements have been met the following plantback periods apply:


Required rainfall - A minimum 25 mm rain event in the post harvest summer to autumn period, with a subsequent extended period of at least one week where the top 10 cm of the soil stays moist is required to enable breakdown of soil residues. Fastest residue breakdown will occur under good soil moisture and warm conditions, which promote microbial activity. where significant rain (> 25 mm) has fallen in summer to autumn, with soil wetting for at least one week, the following plantback periods apply: Following Crops

CRITICAL COMMENTS See CRITICAL COMMENTS below for spraying thistles in pastures and fallow land. Only use the 1600 g/ha rate in Qld by boom spray.


Apply the spray from September to October. Apply by boom spray only. DO NOT apply to thistles over 20 cm in diameter. When thistles are over 20 cm in diameter use Lontrel™ 750 SG plus MCPA (referred to above). Clover Damage: Damage to white clover will be no greater than damage with MCPA alone and less than damage from Lontrel™ 750 SG plus MCPA mixtures. Damage to sub-clover may be greater than with MCPA or 2,4-D alone. DO NOT use for spot treatment.

WEED

LONTREL 750 SG

CRITICAL COMMENTS - Thistle control in pasture. 1. Hardhead thistles – DO NOT USE HANDGUN APPLICATION ON LUCERNE, CLOVERS AND MEDICS AS THEY WILL BE ELIMINATED FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR. Victoria only: Use the lower rate only on light soils (sand and sandy loam) where a slightly lower degree of control is acceptable. Use the higher rate on all soil types where complete control is required. Addition of a wetting agent at label rates is recommended for treatment of hardhead thistle. Spray between September and April on actively growing plants for effective control. Thorough coverage is essential. Apply in 200 to 250 L of water/ha. 2. BOOM SPRAYING: Use the higher rates of Lontrel™ 750 SG plus MCPA on multi-crowned plants or rosettes larger than 30 cm in diameter. Spraying may be done at any time during active growth, usually in early winter or spring. Avoid spraying during the dormant winter period or at any time when thistles are not actively growing. Do not spray flowering thistles. 3. PRE-SPRAY MANAGEMENT: The pasture should be slightly grazed prior to spraying to reduce clover and grass cover and expose the smaller thistles to the spray. The grazed pasture should be left seven days to allow thistles to freshen prior to treatment. 4. POST-TREATMENT MANAGEMENT: Response of thistles to treatment with the Lontrel™ 750 SG plus MCPA mixture will be slow compared to the standard treatments with 2,4-D or MCPA. If possible delay grazing of sprayed thistles for 14 days after treatment. 5. CLOVER DAMAGE: Lontrel™ 750 SG plus MCPA or 2,4-D mixtures can be damaging to clover. The low rate is no more damaging than label rates of 2,4-D or MCPA. Use 20 g/ha mixes when clover is at the 6 trifoliate leaf stage to just prior to flowering. The 28 g/ha mix will reduce the clover component of the pasture for about two months. Use the 28 g/ha mix from 6 trifolate leaf stage to flowering to minimise clover injury, and when clover has reached the 6 to 8 trifoliate leaf stage and where thistles are large due to early germination. Clover recovery will be quicker during periods of active growth. If clover damage is the major consideration, use the lower Lontrel™ 750 SG rate to minimise damage. 6. Gramoxone mixes are for lucerne pasture use only. Simazine mixes are for silver grass control and for lucerne based pastures only. 7. HANDGUN (Spot spray): Treat from rosette stage to early flowering. Thorough spraying is necessary. 8. DRENCHGUN: Apply 10 mL to rosette crown. To multicrown plants, apply 10 mL to each crown.

MIXING Measure the required quantity of granules by weighing on scales. Lontrel™ 750 SG granules are highly soluble in water and will dissolve rapidly once added to fast moving water. Maintain agitation at all times, including during mixing as well as spraying. Spray rigs with premix hoppers For spray rigs that have a drop down chemical induction hopper, three-quarter fill this hopper with water and have the rinsing sprinkler operating. Add the Lontrel™ 750 SG and when dissolved, transfer this batch into the quarter filled main tank. Continue to rinse the hopper until the entire product has washed through.

GRASS HERBICIDES ON BROADLEAF CROPS: Verdict™ 520 Herbicide, Select®, OnDuty®, atrazine, simazine. GRASS HERBICIDES IN CEREAL CROPS: Diclofop methyl, AchieveWG®, Wildcat®, Topik® 240 EC, Tristar®. Compatibilities for each herbicide and key grass weeds can be obtained from your Dow AgroSciences Representative of from Customer Service Toll Free on 1-800 700 096. ADJUVANTS: Uptake™ Spraying Oil, BS-1000

APPLICATION BOOM SPRAYING CROP and PASTURES: Apply Lontrel™ 750 SG in sufficient water to obtain good coverage. It should be applied by an accurately calibrated ground rig or aircraft, delivering 200 to 300 micron droplets and not less than 50 L/ha water volume for boom sprayers or not less than 20 L/ha for aerial applications. Hardhead thistle – Use a spray volume of 200 to 250 L/ha of water.


Spray rigs with limited bypass agitation For spray rigs that have limited bypass agitation, then as for most granulated formulations, pre-dissolve the Lontrel™ 750 SG in a bucket before adding them to the main tank. Add Lontrel™ 750 SG while stirring until the granules have dissolved.

Tank-mixes: The following order should be followed: 1. Quarter fill the spray tank maintaining agitation. 2. Add Lontrel™ 750 SG granules, using the mixing procedure above. 3. Add Verdict 520 if it is to be used in the tank-mix. 4. Add water to half fill the spray tank. 5. Add wettable powders, water dispersible granules or suspension concentrates. 6. Add other emulsifiable concentrates including other selective grass herbicides. 7. If Uptake Spraying Oil is to be used add this when spray tank is half full. 8. If other adjuvants or a wetting agent is to be used than add these according to their label. 9. Add water to bring to the final spray volume. Only mix sufficient spray solution for immediate use and avoid storing.

COMPATIBILITY

Conventional Canola: Lontrel™ 750 SG + Verdict™ 520 + Uptake™ Spraying Oil are compatible and selective. Triazine Tolerant Canola: Atrazine + Lontrel™ 750 SG + Verdict™ 520 + Uptake™ Spraying Oil are compatible and selective. Clearfield Canola: OnDuty® + Lontrel™ 750 SG are compatible and selective. Lontrel™ 750 SG is compatible with the following: BROADLEAF HERBICIDES: Starane™200 or Starane™ Advanced, Ally®, bromoxynil, bromoxynil/MCPA LVE, chlorsulfuron, diuron, glyphosate, MCPA amine, MCPA LVE, paraquat, Spray-Seed®, terbutryn, 2,4-D amine, Broadstrike™, Eclipse®, Eclipse/MCPA LVE, Ally®/MCPA LVE, Garlon 600™, atrazine, simazine, Tordon 242™, Tigrex®.

HIGH VOLUME HAND GUN: Apply the recommended mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems through a No. 6-8 tip at 700 to 1500 kPa. Spray volume for effective coverage of dense pasture weeds should be 10 to 15 litres of spray per 100 m2 (10 m x 10 m) of infestation. For larger areas an equivalent would be 1000 to 1500 litres per infested hectare. STEM INJECTION To make a stem injection pocket at waist height, use a ¾ length axe with a blade width of 5 to 7 cm. The axe cut must be through the bark and deep enough to place all the chemical in contact with the sap wood. The chemical must be applied immediately after the injection pocket is made. Apply chemical with a Phillips 5 mL vaccinator fitted with a tree injector kit which can be accurately calibrated. Set vaccinator to deliver 1 mL of the diluted mix. When treating regrowth less than the width of the axe, ensure chemical does not run out the sides of the cut, as reduced control will result. This can be overcome by using the corner of the axe to make the pocket in the stem.


Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and watercourses. PARTIAL CLEANING (before spraying crops that are selective to Lontrel™ 750 SG): After using Lontrel™ 750 SG, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose. Quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, line, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat procedure twice. COMPLETE CLEANING (before spraying crops that are susceptible to Lontrel™ 750 SG residues): After using Lontrel™ 750 SG, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose. Quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate as above, then drain.

Quarter fill the tank again and add an alkali detergent (e.g. Surf®, Omo®, Drive®) at 500 mL/100 L water or 500 g/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least fifteen minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Drain, remove filters and nozzles and clean separately. Rinse inside the tank thoroughly using a pressure hose and flush system with clean water. Chlorine based cleaners are NOT recommended. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area, or if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and watercourses.



LONTREL 750 SG

Where Lontrel™ 750 SG Herbicide residue carryover from use rates of less than 200 g/ha is suspected and susceptible crops are to be planted, test the treated area as follows: • Field bioassay – where rain allows, plant a small area of the susceptible crop four to six weeks before desired planting date and take note of any symptoms of injury. If any herbicide symptoms are observed, only plant either canola or a cereal (see recommendation for northern and southern Australia below). • Pot bioassay – where not practical to do field bioassay, plant a small number of seeds of the susceptible crop into pots containing soil from the treated field. Do this four to six weeks before desired planting date. If any herbicide symptoms are observed, only plant either canola or a cereal (see recommendation for northern and southern Australia below). Stubble from treated crops – ensure that harvesters effectively spread crop straw and do not leave a heavy ‘header trail’ after harvest. Burn (if legal in the area), bale and remove, slash or incorporate stubble as soon as practical after harvest and as long as possible before planting next year to allow microbial breakdown of any residues in straw. Heavy stubble loads may carry more residues into the following season. Where heavy stubble burdens and/or non-wetting soils exist and less than recommended rain amount have occurred from application to planting the susceptible crop (see below), only plant a winter and summer cereal or canola. Planting crops following use of Lontrel™ 750 SG Herbicide in previous crop – planting crops ‘dry’ without significant rain (see below) in the ‘autumn break’ of increases the risk of injury to susceptible crops. This practice should be avoided, or only plant a winter or irrigated summer cereal, or canola. In severely dry conditions, where less than 30% of average annual rainfall and/or less than the minimum rain has fallen between application and planting the next year, only plant a winter or summer cereal or canola.

Lontrel™ 750 SG Herbicide is a member of the pyridines group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I 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 this product or other Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of the product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or local Dow AgroSciences representative.


DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment that may cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures. Composts and mulches – DO NOT apply Lontrel™ 750 SG Herbicide to crops or pastures that will be used for the production of compost or mulches or mushroom substrate. Such compost or mulch made from plant material treated with Lontrel™ 750 SG may cause damage to susceptible crops and plants. Susceptible crops and plants include, but are not limited to chickpeas, clovers, cotton, faba beans, field peas, fruit trees, lentils, lupins, lucerne, medics, ornamentals, potatoes, safflower, tomatoes, vegetables, grape and kiwifruit vines, vetches, and wattles. Field peas, faba beans, lentils and vetches are particularly susceptible and should not be sown the season following an application of Lontrel™ 750 SG at 200 g/ha.

PLANTBACK PERIODS FOR SOUTHERN AUSTRALIAN WINTER DOMINANT RAINFALL AREAS (Sth NSW, VIC, SA, WA):

Required rainfall – A minimum 25 mm rain event in the post harvest summer to autumn period, with a subsequent extended period of at least 1 week where the top 10 cm of the soil stays moist is required to enable breakdown of soil residues. Fastest residue breakdown will occur under good soil moisture and warm conditions, which promote microbial activity where significant rain (> 25 mm) has fallen in summer to autumn, with soil wetting for at least one week, the following plantback periods apply:

For insecticide resistance management Lorsban 500 EC Insecticide is a Group 1B insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Lorsban 500 EC Insecticide and other Group 1B insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Lorsban 500 EC Insecticide or other Group 1B insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Lorsban 500 EC Insecticide on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Lorsban 500 EC Insecticide to control resistant insects. Lorsban 500 EC Insecticide may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier or Dow AgroSciences representative.

A spray drift management strategy such as those in the ‘Best Management Practices Manual for Cotton Growers’ or the ‘Pilots and Operators Manual’ should be applied. Option for minimising drift to sensitive areas include not spraying within a certain distance of sensitive areas when the wind is blowing towards them (see table for guidance) or ensuring that drifting spray will be intercepted by a catching surface such as a row of shelter trees, an unsprayed row of orchard trees, or hail netting. Situation

Recommended buffer distance (m)


PRECAUTIONS

Re-entry periods Field crops, tree crops and vines: DO NOT allow entry into treated crops until spray deposits have dried. If prior entry is required, limit duration of entry and wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use. Cotton chippers: DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until spray deposits have dried. After this time wear shoes, or boots, socks, long trousers, long sleeved shirt, gloves and hat.


DO NOT feed grass clippings to poultry or other animals. Dangerous to bees. DO NOT spray any plants in flower while bees are foraging.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT DO NOT contaminate food, feed or domestic water supplies. HIGHLY TOXIC TO BIRDS AND REPTILES. VERY HIGHLY TOXIC TO FISH AND AQUATIC INVERTEBRATES DO NOT re-apply to the same crop within 7 days (unless specifically recommended in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE) Spray drift may occur under adverse meteorological conditions or from certain spray equipment. DO NOT allow spray to drift onto sensitive areas including, but not limited to, natural streams, rivers or waterways and human dwellings.

DO NOT apply when irrigating, or to waterlogged soil, or while water remains on the surface or in furrows, unless tailwater is captured on farm. DO NOT allow contaminated runoff water from treated paddocks to enter adjacent areas or water bodies. Runoff contaminated by irrigation events (tailwater) and a 25 mm rain storm should be captured on farm for 2 days after application. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers.


Store in closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. DO NOT store near food, feedstuffs, fertilisers or seed. This container can be recycled if it is clean, dry, free of visible residues and has the drumMUSTER logo visible. Triple or pressure rinse container for disposal. Dispose of rinsate by adding to the spray tank. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. Wash outside of the container and the cap. Store cleaned container in a sheltered place with cap removed. It will then be acceptable for recycling at any drumMUSTER collection or similar container management site. The cap should not be replaced but may be taken separately. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and deliver empty packaging for appropriate disposal to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose, clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant Local, State or Territory government regulations. DO NOT burn empty containers or product.

PRECAUTIONS

Re-entry period Tree crops and Vines: DO NOT allow entry into treated crops until spray deposits have dried. If prior entry is required, limit duration of entry and wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use. Greenhouses: DO NOT allow entry into greenhouses until spray deposits have dried and treated areas are adequately ventilated. If prior entry is required, limit duration of entry and wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing), chemical resistant gloves and half-facepiece respirator. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.


Dangerous to bees. DO NOT spray any plants in flower while bees are foraging.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS, AND ENVIRONMENT HIGHLY TOXIC TO BIRDS AND REPTILES. VERY HIGHLY TOXIC TO FISH AND AQUATIC INVERTEBRATES. DO NOT re-apply to the same crop within 7 days (unless specifically recommended in the directions for use). Spray drift may occur under adverse meteorological conditions or from certain spray equipment. DO NOT allow spray drift to occur onto sensitive areas including, but not limited to, natural streams, rivers or waterways and human dwellings. A spray drift management strategy such as those in the ‘Best Management Practices Manual for Cotton Growers’ or the ‘Pilots and Operators Manual’ should be applied.

DO NOT apply if heavy rains or storms that are likely to cause surface runoff are forecast in the immediate area within two days of application. DO NOT apply when irrigating, or to waterlogged soil, or while water remains on the surface or in furrows, unless tailwater is captured on farm. DO NOT allow contaminated runoff water from treated paddocks to enter adjacent areas or water bodies. Runoff contaminated by irrigation events (tailwater) and a 25 mm rain storm should be captured on farm for two days after application. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical, used containers or containers used for mixing or holding treated seed.


If the water soluble bag is ruptured and a spill occurs, wear protective equipment (See SAFETY DIRECTIONS). Remove granules from surfaces and sweep up residual material. Place in a container that will prevent further dispersion of the granules. If spilled inside a building, wash contaminated surface to deactivate the chlorpyrifos with a solution of bleach (sodium hypochlorite) prepared according to the bleach label instructions. Prevent entry of spilled chemical or damaged containers into drains, dams or waterways. If the liquid spray mix is involved, apply absorbent material such as earth, sand, clay granules or cat litter to the spill. Sweep up material when absorption is completed and contain in a refuse vessel for disposal in the same manner as for containers (see STORAGE AND DISPOSAL section).

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Store in closed, original container in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. DO NOT store near food, feedstuffs, fertilisers or seed. Puncture or shred and bury empty containers in a local authority landfill. If no landfill is available, bury the containers below 500 mm in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots. Empty containers and product should not be burnt.

NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION WITHHOLDING PERIOD: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 14 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS


Mycloss Xtra Fungicide is a member of the DMI group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management the product is a Group 3 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to the product and other Group 3 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungal population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by this product and other Group 3 fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that result from failure of this product to control resistant fungi.

Fungicide Resistance Management Strategy

MIXING

Two-thirds fill the spray tank with water and agitate or stir while adding the required quantity of Mycloss Xtra Fungicide. Add other products after Mycloss Xtra Fungicide has been fully mixed. Top up spray tank to the required level and agitate before commencing spraying.

APPLICATION in VINEYARDS

Mycloss Xtra Fungicide may be applied with conventional drive past orchard sprayers. DO NOT apply by aircraft.

DILUTE SPRAYING

Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE table for each 100 L of water.

1. Apply no more than 3 Group 3 sprays per season.

Spray to the point of run-off.

2. Use a non-Group 3 fungicide for mid to late season control of powdery mildew.

The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to be changed, as the crop grows. For grapevines, a minimum volume of 800 L/ha pre-flowering and 1000 to 1500 L/ha from flowering onwards is recommended.

244

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see DILUTE SPRAYING) for the crop canopy or consult your local adviser, agronomist or Department of Agriculture to determine this volume. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate.

Additionally, some export markets have established MRLs different to those in Australia. If you are growing grapes for export (either fresh, dried or wine), please check with your exporter or the Australian Wine Research Institute for the latest information on MRLs and import tolerances BEFORE using Mycloss Xtra Fungicide.

PRECAUTION: Re-entry Period DO NOT enter treated areas until the spray has dried unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing), elbow-length PVC gloves and footwear. Grape girdling should not be performed for 4 days after application, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing), elbow-length PVC gloves and footwear.


The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way:


1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example 1000 L/ha 2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example 500 L/ha

3. The concentration factor in this example is: 2X (ie 1000 L ÷ 500 L = 2)

4. If the dilute label rate is 16 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 2 x 16, that is 32 mL/100 L of concentrate spray.

The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water, and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. Do not use a concentrate rate higher than that specified in the CRITICAL COMMENTS. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practices.

COMPATIBILITY

Mycloss Xtra Fungicide may be mixed with some formulations of the following chemicals: metiram, phosphorus acid, mancozeb + benalaxyl and wettable sulphur. Before preparing tank mixes of Mycloss Xtra Fungicide with other products, the user is advised to check the manufacturers’ recommendations on the product labels. As formulations of other manufacturers’ products are beyond the control of Dow AgroSciences Australia Ltd, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities.

Export of Treated Fruit Growers should note that MRLs or import tolerances do not exist in all markets for fruit treated with Mycloss Xtra Fungicide.


Low hazard to bees. Application of Mycloss Xtra Fungicide to vines at any time will not cause harm to bees.



Spray Drift

DO NOT apply in weather conditions, or from spraying equipment which may cause spray to drift onto nearby crops, crop lands, pasture or livestock.


Store in the closed, original container in a cool wellventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. DO NOT store near food, feedstuffs, fertilisers or seed. This container can be recycled if it is clean, dry, free of visible residues and has the drumMUSTER logo visible. Triple or pressure rinse container for disposal. Dispose of rinsate by adding to the spray tank. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. Wash outside of the container and the cap. Store cleaned container in a sheltered place with cap removed. It will then be acceptable for recycling at any drumMUSTER collection or similar container management site. The cap should not be replaced but may be taken separately. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and deliver empty packaging for appropriate disposal to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose, clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant Local, State or Territory government regulations. DO NOT burn empty containers or product.

Spray solution can be applied as a band or spot spray (see Application section) Dilute as above or use as a concentrate spray by mixing 1 part of Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate with 1.5 parts of water and apply as a spot spray (see Application section).


AVOID spraying the fruit as phytotoxicity may occur. Mangos and pears are particularly susceptible to blemishes, discolouration or severe spotting (superficial on the skin only) from protein-based baits. The risk of phytotoxicity is increased during hot, dry conditions and re-application of spray to the same location on the plants. If using a weekly spray program, alternate tree or crop rows to which the product is applied. Re-apply if rain washes bait off the foliage.


NATURALURE

WITHHOLDING PERIOD: All crops Not required when used as directed


MIXING

Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate is a protein and sugar based bait containing the active ingredient spinosad. Once applied, fruit flies can detect the bait from several metres away. Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate can be diluted with water (see MIXING section below) to produce either a concentrated or a dilute solution. Use the concentrated solution if application equipment will allow, as this will maximise bait longevity and improve rainfastness. If necessary, remove filters and strainers from spraying equipment to avoid blockages. Note: Baiting for fruit fly control should be supplemented by good orchard management practices such as removal of fallen and/or rotting fruit.

Once mixed, constant agitation of the spray solution is recommended to ensure uniformity of spray mixture. Allow agitation system to operate for at least 5 minutes before applying. Once diluted, the solution should be used within 24 hours. Concentrated Solution: Mix 1 part of Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate with 1.5 parts of water. First add water (equivalent to one-half of the volume of Naturalure Concentrate to be mixed) to the spray tank and start the agitation system. Then add the full amount of Naturalure Concentrate followed by an equal amount of water. Dilute Solution: Mix 1 part of Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate with 6.5 parts of water. First add water (equivalent to the volume of Naturalure Concentrate to be mixed) to the spray tank or premixing tank and start the agitation system. Then add the full amount of Naturalure Concentrate followed by the remaining amount of water.


For insecticide resistance management Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate is a Group 5 insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate and other Group 5 insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate or other Group 5 insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate to control resistant insects.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

APPLICATION

Begin applications as soon as monitoring traps indicate flies are present and fruit is at a susceptible stage. Repeat applications every 7 days, re-applying sooner if rain washes off the deposit. A large spray droplet size of 4000 to 6000 µ (4-6 mm) is recommended to optimise duration of bait’s attractiveness to flies. Apply as either a band or spot spray to the lower canopy of fruiting plants as follows: Band sprays (concentrated or dilute solution): Apply as a coarse spray in a 1m wide band to the skirt of trees. Apply to one side of every row or every second row of trees.

Spots should be distributed evenly throughout an orchard to optimise effectiveness. Adjust the application of the spots to suit the number of trees per hectare, but do not exceed the application rate above.

water for disposal. Absorb and collect washings and place in the same sealable container for disposal. Dam the area of large spills and report them to Dow AgroSciences Emergency Services at 1-800 033 882.

SAFETY DIRECTIONS • May irritate the eyes. Avoid contact with eyes. • If product is in eyes, wash it out immediately with water. • After use and before eating, drinking or smoking, wash hands, arms and face thoroughly with soap and water.

After using Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate empty the tank and completely drain the system. Rinse the tank, pumps, lines, hoses, filters and nozzles by circulating clean water through the system. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice.

Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate contains proteins from a plant extract to which some people may be allergic. If you are concerned about a potential allergic response, it is advisable to wear gloves and/or some face protection such as a dust mask when mixing or using the product. Take care to avoid contact of the product or spray solution with skin and eyes.


FIRST AID



Dangerous to bees. Avoid direct application or drift of the spray mix onto beehives. DO NOT spray on plants in flower if bees are active. Once the spray deposit has dried, foraging bees will not be affected.


DO NOT allow the product or used containers to enter dams, ponds, waterways or drains. DO NOT apply in strong winds or any other conditions that may result in drift onto adjacent pastures, crops or water supplies.


Beneficial insects contribute to control of pest outbreaks. Applications of Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate are unlikely to affect lacewings (Chrysopa spp.), predatory bugs (Geocoris, Orius and Nabis spp.), spiders and most species of ladybird beetles (Coccinella, Diomus and Harmonia spp.). However some species of beneficial insects may be sensitive to Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate and its use may temporarily reduce populations of parasitoid wasps (especially Trichogramma spp.), ants, some beetles and tachinid flies. This may lead to some disruption of IPM systems based on these species, but generally populations will recover.

DILUTE SPRAYING

Prodigy is incompatible with mineral spray oils. DO NOT mix concentrates together but add each to the spray tank separately. As formulations of other manufacturers' products are beyond the control of Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities. As changes in climatic conditions can alter the sensitivity of plants to mixtures of sprays, Dow AgroSciences cannot be responsible for the behaviour of such mixtures.


All crops, orchards, plantations and vineyards: DO NOT graze treated crops. DO NOT allow livestock to graze within treated orchards, plantations or vineyards. Grapes, blueberries and coffee: DO NOT apply when there are livestock, pasture or any land that is producing feed for livestock within 5 m downwind of the application area. Tomato, peppers, egg-plants and okra: DO NOT apply when there are livestock, pasture or any land that is producing feed for livestock within 15 m downwind of the application area.


Prodigy Insecticide is very suitable for use in orchards and vineyards using integrated pest management (IPM) programs.


For insecticide resistance management, Prodigy Insecticide is a Group 18 insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Prodigy and other Group 18 insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Prodigy and other Group 18 insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Prodigy on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Prodigy to control resistant insects. Prodigy may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Dow AgroSciences representative or local agricultural department agronomist.

Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of run-off. The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to change as the crop grows.


Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see DILUTE SPRAYING above) for the crop canopy. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way. EXAMPLE ONLY 1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example, 1500 L/ha 2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example, 500 L/ha 3. The concentration factor in this example is 3X (i.e. 1500 L ÷ 500L = 3) 4. If the dilute label rate is 25 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 25, that is; 75 mL/100 L of concentrate spray.

Dilute Spraying:

DO NOT apply more than 6 sprays per season. NOTE: For cereals, the flag-2 leaf is the 3rd last fully emerged leaf, i.e. the second leaf below flag. Wheat - Stripe rust - susceptible varieties - apply when 10% leaves infected. Wheat - Stripe rust - moderately susceptible varieties apply when 15% to 20% leaves infected.

Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the Directions for Use table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of run-off. The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation also may need to be changed, as the crop grows.


Dow AgroSciences PropiMax Fungicide is a member of the DMI group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management the product is a Group 3 Fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to the product and other Group 3 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungal population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by this product or other Group 3 fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant fungi.

MIXING

Shake well before use. Fill the spray tank and then add concentrate. Mix well. Pineapples - Pre-plant dip: Add the required amount of PropiMax directly to the dip and mix well. Avoid excessive contamination of the dip with organic matter.

APPLICATION

PropiMax may be applied by ground rig, high or low volume, or by air. Cereals: May be applied by boom spray or aircraft. Ensure complete coverage of all leaves and stems is obtained. The objective of spraying is to keep the upper 2-3 leaves green and functioning through grain filling stage. With aircraft, as a guide, apply 10 - 20 L/ha with the lower rate being used when applications are made with a cross wind of not less than 5 knots. Use the higher volume when applying to dense crops. Bananas: Apply by misting machine, air blast sprayer or aircraft. Use a minimum of 30 L water if applying by air. Apricots, Plums and other Stone Fruit: Apply by high volume (dilute) sprayer or by concentrate sprayer.

Concentrate Spraying:

Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see Dilute Spraying) for the crop canopy, this is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way: Example only: 1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: for example 1500 L/ha. 2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: for example 500 L/ha. 3. The concentration factor in this example is: 3 x (i.e. 1500 L ÷ 500 L = 3). 4. If the dilute label is 10 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 10, that is 30 mL/100 L of concentrate spray. The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water, and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practices.

RE-ENTRY PERIOD

DO NOT enter treated area until spray has dried.

COMPATIBILITY

PropiMax may be mixed with any one of the registered products containing azinphos-methyl, chlorothalonil, copper oxychloride, demeton-s-methyl, diazinon, dimethoate, mancozeb, metalaxyl, methomyl, parathion, propargite and zineb.

PROTECTION OF CROP, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands and pastures.

Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Reldan pluS IGR Grain Protector to control resistant insects.

Store in closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. This container can be recycled if it is clean, dry, free of visible residues and has the drumMUSTER logo visible. Triple or pressure rinse container for disposal. Dispose of rinsate by adding to the spray tank. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. Wash outside of the container and the cap. Store cleaned container in a sheltered place with cap removed. It will then be acceptable for recycling at any drumMUSTER collection or similar container management site. The cap should not be replaced but may be taken separately. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and deliver empty packaging for appropriate disposal to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose, clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant Local, State or Territory government regulations. DO NOT burn empty containers or product.

MIXING




Slowly add the required amount of Reldan pluS IGR Grain Protector to the water in the tank. Use clean water only. The special formulation ensures rapid mixing.

Uniform application through the grain is essential for maximum efficacy. It is essential to ensure that the grain is free from infestation and of sufficiently low moisture content at intake i.e. less than 12% moisture and a storage temperature below 27°C.

Wear protective equipment (see SAFETY DIRECTIONS). Apply absorbent material such as earth, clay granules, and or cat litter to the spill. Sweep up material for disposal when absorption is completed and contain in a refuse vessel for disposal in the same manner as for containers (see STORAGE AND DISPOSAL section). If spilled inside a building wash contaminated surfaces to deactivate the chlorpyrifos-methyl with a solution of bleach (sodium hypochlorite) prepared according to the bleach label instructions for normal cleaning purposes.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE CONSERVATION TILLAGE RESTRAINTS: To ensure herbicide absorption, DO NOT disturb weeds by cultivation, sowing or grazing for 6 hours following treatment of annual weeds and 7 days for perennial weeds, except where noted. Weeds should be actively growing at the time of treatment. DO NOT treat weeds under poor growing or dormant conditions (such as occur in drought, water logging, disease, insect damage or following frosts) as reduced weed control may result. Reduced results may also occur when treating weeds heavily covered with dust or silt. Prior herbicide application may also induce stress in weeds. If heavy grazing has occurred allow regrowth to 6-8 cm before spraying. 1. SOUTHERN AUSTRALIA (Cultivation)

RATE SELECTION. Use the lower rates on young weeds and increase to the higher rate where weeds are dense or well developed. Dense infestations of some weeds (e.g. barnyard grass and liverseed grass) may need follow-up treatments for complete control. PASTURE or CROP ESTABLISHMENT. Do not sow into excessive trash. Excessive plant residues may be removed by grazing after treatment. Cultivation or planting may proceed 6 hours after application to seedling annual weeds if a satisfactory seedbed can be created for crop germination and seedling establishment. TANK MIXTURES. Read and follow all label directions, for the tank mix products. Tank mixes with atrazine may give unacceptable knockdown of certain weeds. Do not apply the tank-mix for control of barnyard grass, liverseed grass and milk thistle. Ammonium sulphate may enhance knockdown weed control where tank mixtures of atrazine are used. SHIELDED SPRAYERS. Apply Ripper 480 to weeds growing between crop rows using a shielded sprayer. DO not apply spray drift to contact any part of the cotton plant as severe injury may result.

560 mL - 1.125 L

Apply to actively growing and stress free plants. Best results obtained during mid-September to mid-October. Apply prior to any seed head emergence. Surfactants: The addition of a 100% non-ionic surfactant at 200 mL/100 L of spraying solution may improve results. Rates: The lower rates will be less damaging to desirable pasture species. If seed head emergence is imminent then higher rates will give better control.

3 L - 4.6 L

Best results from May to October. Application. Boom spray volume of 70 L/ha or more is recommended to improve plant coverage. Surfactants: The addition of a 100% non-ionic surfactant at 200 mL /100 L of spraying solutionmay improve results. Site Preparation. Burning 10 - 12 months before spraying or slashing / heavy grazing (cell grazing) 2 weeks before spraying is essential for good results. Rates. Use lower rate on regrowth after burning (no residual dead foliage). Use higher rate plants that have been slashed or grazed (may contain some residual dead foliage).

Treatments may be applied alone or in tank mix with Dropp® or Harvade®. Apply when 60% of bolls are open. When tank mixed with conditioner/defoliant treatments, a slightly higher proportion of cotton leaf may be retained particularly where higher rates are used and conditions are unfavourable for defoliation.

PRE-HARVEST APPLICATION to reduce viable seed set of weeds in:

Annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum)

360 - 765 mL

Use lower rate if ryegrass is flowering and higher rate if ryegrass is at milky dough stage. Application should be made at or after crop maturity. Application before this time may significantly reduce yields (in practice losses in excess of 25% can occur). Apply when the average seed moisture content is below 30%. For faba beans, this is indicated by the pods going black and for field peas by the pods going yellow. Do not harvest within 7 days after application. Do not use on crops intended for seed or sprouting.

Annual weeds

1 L - 2.025 L

Apply to mature crop from late dough stage (28% moisture) onwards. The higher rate will be required when crops are heavy and leaf shading effects may occur. Do not harvest within 7 days after application. Do not use on crops intended for seed or sprouting. When wheat is grown in rotation with any herbicide tolerant crop, management should be consistent with implementation of any management plan for herbicide tolerant crops.

Annual weeds

765 mL - 2.025 L

Apply with boom or by air. Use higher rates where crops or weeds are dense and where faster desiccation is required. Application should be made at or after crop maturity: Chick peas and lentils - apply to mature plants with less than 15% green pods. Soybean - apply only after seed pods have lost all green colour and 80-90% of leaves have dropped. Use only on soybean crops grown for crushing. Mung beans, adzuki and cow pea - apply to mature crops when pods are brown/black. Field peas - apply when seeds turn yellow and average seed moisture content is below 30%. Faba beans - apply when pods turn black and average seed moisture content is below 30%. Do not harvest within 7 days of application. Speed of crop desiccation is dependant on crop stage, growing conditions and weather conditions during and after application.

GENERAL WEED CONTROL Application Checklist: DO NOT treat weeds under poor growing conditions due to moisture stress, water logging, severe frosting, insect damage etc. Reduced performance may also occur where weeds are covered with dust or silt. DO NOT add surfactants, adjuvants or other pesticides except as specifically directed on this label. Rain within 1 hour of application which causes run-off may require re-treatment. Rain fastness is reduced if weeds are not actively growing, under stress or conditions of low light intensity/darkness. The addition of a 100% non-ionic surfactant may improve rain fastness on Winter annual weeds. A withholding period for grazing is not required. However, it is recommended that grazing of treated plants be delayed to ensure herbicide uptake. Certain plants such as soursob, variegated thistle, sorghum and Johnson grass may be naturally toxic to stock when eaten in large quantities under certain conditions. Where plants are known to be toxic, grazing should be delayed until complete desiccation of treated plants has occurred. Apply treatments to weeds which have at least one true leaf (broadleaf weeds) or two leaves (grasses) to provide adequate surface area for herbicide uptake. If heavy grazing has occurred, allow regrowth to 6-8 cm before spraying and use the higher rates recommended.

Restraint: DO NOT plant susceptible crops, including cotton, pigeon peas and other pulse crops, into irrigated fields with soils containing less than 25% clay content, within 12 months of treatment with Starane Advanced. Note: Before using Starane Advanced in tank mixes with other herbicides, check the plant-back information on all product labels. The time between spraying and planting will be determined by the most residual product, i.e. the product with the longest plant-back period.


OILS AND SURFACTANTS

MIXING

Oils: Use only Uptake Spraying Oil at the rate of 500 mL/100 L of spray mix. When using less than 100 L/ha spray volume, ensure a minimum of 250 mL/ha of Uptake is used, unless 1 L/100 L or 1 L/ha is specified. Surfactants (wetters): Use a 100% concentrate non-ionic surfactant such as BS1000® at 100 mL/100 L of spray mix where required.

Starane Advanced may be mixed with water or diesel. Mix only sufficient chemical for each days use and avoid storing. Mixing in Water: Half fill the spray tank with water and add the required quantity of Starane Advanced and complete filling. Agitate continuously to ensure thorough mixing before and during application. Mixing in Diesel: Half fill the spray tank with diesel and add the required quantity of Starane Advanced. Add the remainder of the diesel and agitate or shake to mix contents. Tank mixtures: Wettable powder or dry flowable formulations (e.g. water dispersible granules) should be added to the spray tank first, followed by suspension concentrates (flowables), water soluble salts and then emulsifiable concentrate formulations (Starane Advanced). Add spraying OILS and SURFACTANTS (wetters) last. (See COMPATIBILITY section for Ripper™ 480 (glyphosate) for additional instructions when mixing with glyphosate.)

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

Starane Advanced is compatible with the herbicides listed. Follow any regional restrictions, and all directions and restrictions on the label, of any chemical mixed with Starane™ Advanced. atrazine (see below), Broadstrike™, Dow AgroSciences LVE 600 MCPA Herbicide™ (MCPA LVE), Canvas™ 750 (MCPA amine), Conclude™, diclofop methyl, Dow AgroSciences (2,4-D) Amine 625, Eclipse®, Esteron™ LV, Garlon™ 600, glyphosate, Hotshot™, Lontrel™, MCPA, metsulfuron methyl, Ripper™ 480 (see below), Topik® 240 EC (see below), Tordon™ 75-D, Tordon™ 242, Touchdown®, Wildcat® 110 and 2,4-DB amine.

AGITATION IS VERY IMPORTANT WHEN MIXING STARANE ADVANCED AND ATRAZINE. Starane Advanced plus atrazine tank mixes must be agitated vigorously and continuously during mixing and application. After mixing DO NOT allow to stand without agitation. Ensure that the time from mixing to the end of application is not more than 2 hours. If settling out occurs re-suspension is difficult, even with vigorous agitation. Agitation using only the pump’s by-pass is usually inadequate, particularly with larger tanks (more than 2000 L). Additional mechanical agitation will be necessary in large tanks, computer sprayers and mixing tanks. When additional surfactant is required, add a 100% concentrate non-ionic surfactant at 100 mL/100 L of spray mix. DO NOT use a spraying oil when tank mixing Starane Advanced and atrazine.



ATRAZINE AVOID USING HARD WATER WHEREVER POSSIBLE. Where hard water cannot be avoided, the addition of a water conditioning agent to the spray tank, at 100 g/100 L water, before adding any herbicide may improve compatibility.

Mixing Instructions for glyphosate + Starane Advanced + other tank-mix partners: Step 1: Fill the spray tank to 1/2 full with clean water, start and maintain agitation. Step 2: Where ammonium sulphate (crystalline or liquid form) is recommended, wash crystalline form at 0.08 % w/v (800 g/100 L spray solution) through a top mesh screen into the tank OR add Liase® at 2 % v/v (2 L/100 L spray solution) and mix thoroughly for several minutes. Step 3: Add Ripper 480 (or other glyphosate formulations) and allow mixing thoroughly for several minutes. Step 4: For other tank-mix partners: Add dry flowable formulations (e.g. metsulfuron) first, followed by suspension concentrates (flowables e.g. atrazine), water soluble salts (e.g. Abound™ 400). Step 5: Then add emulsifiable concentrate formulations, such as Starane Advanced, and allow mixing thoroughly for several minutes. Step 6: Add remaining water to desired final fill level. Step 7: Add a 100% non-ionic surfactant at 0.2% v/v near the end of the filling process to minimize excessive foaming. Step 8: Removing hose from tank immediately after the filling will prevent back siphoning into water source. Always maintain adequate agitation during application and use the tank load promptly.

APPLICATION METHODS and WATER RATES BROADCAST APPLICATION IN CROPPING, PASTURE AND FALLOW SITUATIONS. A. Ground Application (Boom) Apply Starane Advanced with an accurately calibrated boom sprayer, in at least 50 L/ha water (100-400 L/ha for sugar cane). Flat fan nozzles applying a medium quality spray (ASABE-S572) are recommended. Set the boom at a height to ensure a double overlap of the nozzle patterns. B. Ground Directed Application (Dropper nozzles) To minimise crop effects, dropper nozzles should be used in sorghum when the crop is beyond the 8 leaf growth stage and in maize and sweet corn when the crop is beyond the 6 leaf growth stage. Adjust the nozzles to direct the spray into the base of the crop and away from the leaves and the growing point. See manufacturers’ directions for setting up and calibration of dropper nozzles. C. Aerial Application Apply in a minimum volume of at least 35 L/ha water (60 L/ha in sugar cane). Use equipment calibrated to produce a coarse quality spray (ASABE-S572). DO NOT apply when the temperature is above 30°C, when there is no wind or when the wind is blowing toward susceptible crops. DO NOT spray when wind speed is less than 3 km/hr or more than 20 km/hr. WOODY WEED SITUATIONS Weeds must be actively growing to attain optimal effect. Delay the treatment of re-growth following bulldozing, slashing, burning, ploughing or a previous chemical treatment until it has at least 1 metre of new, vigorous, growth. A. High Volume Application Hand Gun Apply the recommended mix to obtain full coverage of leaves and stems using a number 6 - 8 tip at 700 to 1500 kPa. To obtain good coverage, a spray volume of 1500 to 4000 L/ha (15 to 40 L/100m2) is required per infested hectare. Ensure thorough coverage to the point of runoff. Knapsack and 12 Volt Sprayer Packs Only recommended for the control of herbaceous weeds such as cobblers peg, docks and wandering jew. DO NOT use knapsacks or 12 volt sprayer packs to treat woody weeds.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto wasteland away from desirable plants and watercourses. Cleaning equipment after using water-based sprays: Rinsing: After using Starane Advanced Herbicide, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the spray unit using a pressure hose. Drain, and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. Decontamination (before spraying cotton and other sensitive crops; see PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS): Wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Then quarter fill the tank and add an alkali detergent at 500 mL/100 L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100 L and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow to drain. Cleaning equipment after using diesel-based sprays: On completion of spraying, use a degreaser to remove traces of diesel from the sprayer. Rinse tank and spray through nozzles with water to remove degreaser. Then, quarter fill the tank with clean water and add an alkali detergent at 50 mL/10 L of water or the powder equivalent at 50 g/10 L of water. Shake sprayer, to circulate the washing solution throughout the sprayer, then spray the solution through the nozzles. Rinse well with clean water to remove the detergent. To clean brushes and containers, spray liberally with degreaser. Hose off with clean water and repeat using detergents as above. DO NOT use this equipment for any other purpose.

STARANE ADVANCED

B. Aerial Application Apply in 200 L of water/ha using an aircraft to apply 100 L per pass on a double overlap pattern using nozzle configurations to produce a coarse quality spray (ASABE-S572). The potential for damage from drift can be greatly reduced by avoiding unsuitable spraying conditions and using spray pressure and nozzles to minimise the production of small droplets. DO NOT spray when wind speed is less than 3 km/hr or more than 20 km/hr and/or air temperature reaches 35°C. C. Basal Bark and Cut Stump Application Basal Bark DO NOT apply to wet stems as this can repel the diesel mixture. Spray or paint the recommended mixture around the base of each stem from ground level to a height of at least 30 cm from the ground, wetting the bark to the point of runoff. Apply with a paint brush or a pressure sprayer with an appropriate lance and solid cone nozzle. If using spray equipment use low pressures (≤ 200 kPa) sufficient to form a cone of spray. Old rough bark will require more spray than smooth or young thin bark. Cut Stump Apply the recommended mixture liberally to the freshly cut stump immediately after cutting. Apply by spraying or painting the cut surface and sides of the stump. Best results are obtained when the stems are cut less than 15 cm above the ground. D. Low Volume, High Concentrate Application Drench Gun or Gas-Powered Gun Apply the recommended mixture uniformly across the foliage by applying 50 mL shots to cover 4 to 5 m2 of surface area of plant. This is approximately equivalent to 20 droplets per cm2 of the leaf surface. Use a marking agent as recommended by the equipment manufacturer to check spray coverage.

STARANE ADVANCED

RESISTANT WEED WARNING

Starane Advanced Herbicide is a member of the pyridine group of herbicides. The product has a disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management the product is a Group I Herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I 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 this product or Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or local Dow AgroSciences representative.

PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK DO NOT graze or cut treated crops for stock food except as specified under withholding periods. Poisonous plants may become more palatable after spraying, therefore livestock should be kept out of the area until the plants have died down. DO NOT allow stock to re-enter paddocks containing treated poisonous plants, until the plants have died down.



PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS Susceptible crops include but are not limited to clovers, cotton, fruit, hops, lupins, ornamentals, peas, pine tree, potatoes, navy beans, safflower, shade trees, soybeans, sunflower, tobacco, tomatoes, vegetables, and vines. Starane Advanced can be damaging to susceptible crops during both growing and dormant periods. Grasses are normally unaffected by Starane Advanced and establish quickly after treatment. Transitory damage can occur on some species particularly those that spread by stolons such as couch grass (Cynodon dactylon), Kikuyu grass and carpet grass (Axonopus spp.). DO NOT allow spray to drift onto susceptible crops, shade trees and Pinus spp. DO NOT use under weather conditions or from spraying equipment which could be expected to cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013


COMPATIBILITY

Before opening, carefully read DIRECTIONS FOR USE, PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NONTARGET PLANTS, SAFETY DIRECTIONS and FIRST AID instructions.

Ensure thorough agitation occurs when tank mixing products with Statesman 720. This product may be tank mixed with the following products:

BOOM SPRAYING - Use 30 - 120 L/ha of water.

Herbicides Ally®, atrazine (600g/L or900g/kg), Broadstrike™ Cadance®, chlorsulfuron, dicamba, diuron (500g/L or 900 g/kg), Garlon™ FallowMaster™, Hotshot™, Lontrel™ Advanced, Lontrel, Dow AgroSciences LVE 600 MCPA, metsulfuron, methabenzthiazuron, paraquat, Ripper™ 480, Roundup® CT, simazine, Spray·Seed®, Starane ™ Advanced, Tordon™ 75-D Herbicide.


AERIAL SPRAYING - Use 10 - 90 L/ha of water.

HIGH VOLUME SPRAYING - Use 1500 - 2500 L/ha of water. Apply in coarse to very coarse spray quality in accordance with ASABE S572.

MIXING

As formulations of other companies products are beyond the control of Dow AgroSciences, all mixtures should be tested on a small scale before mixing in the spray tank. Ensure the spray tank has been cleaned or decontaminated. Flush chemical suction equipment with fresh water between products, and between fills, when adding to the spray solution. 1. Fill the spray tank with clean water to ½ the required volume and start agitation. DO NOT use mechanical agitators as these may cause excessive foaming when herbicides are added.

2. Add wettable powders and water dispersible granules first. Agitate until these are uniformly dispersed. Fill the spray tank to 90% of the required volume.

Compatibility with glyphosate formulations Compatible products are those containing: a) glyphosate IPA are compatible e.g. Ripper™ 480; or b) glyphosate potassium and mono-ammonium salts e.g. Roundup® DST Herbicide; or

c) Glyphosate mono-ammonium salt e.g. Macphersons Glyphosate Bi-dri® Herbicide

Non compatible products are those containing glyphosate K salt e.g. Roundup® PowerMax® Herbicide, Roundup® Attack Herbicide or Touchdown® Herbicide Insecticides Trojan DO NOT mix with 500 g/L EC formulations of chlorpyrifos, e.g. Lorsban™ 500 EC Fungicides Propimax™

3. Add suspension concentrates, then soluble concentrates (including Statesman 720) and finally emulsifiable concentrates. Mix thoroughly.

Adjuvants BS1000 Biodegradable Surfactant or its alternatives Chemwet® 1000, LI700®, Uptake™ Spraying Oil

4. Add spray adjuvant just prior to complete filling to minimise foaming.

LI700 tank mixes apply in less than 24 hours. Maintain excellent agitation at all times after initial tank mixing.

Observe any mixing sequence instructions on partner product labels. Maintain adequate agitation during application and use the tank mix promptly.

Not all surfactants or crop oils are of equal quality, Dow AgroSciences does not support the use of alternative products other than those listed in the compatibility section.

EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND USAGE Equipment that has been used for this chemical should not be used for the application of other materials to sensitive plants, unless it has been well washed out with hot soapy water or 1% solution of ammonia, followed by several clear water rinses.



Dow AgroSciences Statesman 720 Herbicide is a member of the Phenoxys group of herbicides. Statesman 720 Herbicide has the disruptors of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management Statesman 720 Herbicide is a Group I herbicide.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

341

STATESMAN 720

APPLICATION INFORMATION (see also PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS)

Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Statesman 720 Herbicide and other Group I 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 Statesman 720 Herbicide or other Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Statesman 720 Herbicide to control resistant weeds.




STATESMAN 720


DO NOT spray in high winds. DO NOT spray cereals if lucerne is present. DO NOT spray crops or weeds outside the stages indicated in CRITICAL COMMENTS as damage, loss of yield or inadequate weed control may result.

Drift Warning: DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures. Avoid spray drift onto susceptible crops such as cotton, tobacco, tomatoes, vines, fruit trees, vegetables, legume crops and pastures, oilseed crops and susceptible trees (e.g. Kurrajongs, Belahs and Eucalypts). DO NOT use unless wind speed is more than 3 kilometres per hour and less than 15 kilometres per hour, as measured at the application site.

DO NOT apply with smaller than coarse to very coarse spray droplets according to the ASABE S572 definition for standard nozzles.





STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. DO NOT store near food, feedstuffs, fertilisers or seed. The method of disposal of the container depends on the container type. Read the STORAGE AND DISPOSAL instructions on the label that is attached to the container.

CRITICAL COMMENTS

Bunch spray: Apply as a fine spray to point of run-off (50-60 mL of solution) ensuring complete coverage of the bunch. Application should be made no later than 2 weeks after bunch emergence. Application should be made immediately after placement of the bunch cover. Good coverage of the bunch is essential. Do not make more than 2 applications per crop.

VEGETABLES: Carefully monitor crops for eggs and larvae of pest species by regular field scouting. Target sprays against mature eggs and newly-hatched larvae when numbers exceed spray threshold. Apply repeat applications at 7-14 day intervals as new infestations occur or as specified under Critical Comments. As part of IPM programs for potato moth, Helicoverpa and diamondback moth, it is important to plough crops in immediately after harvest.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

APPLICATION

Insecticide Resistance Warning

Thorough coverage of the crop is essential. Ensure this by increasing water volume with plant growth stage. Do not apply when conditions are unsuitable for waterbased spray applications. Avoid high temperature, strong winds, inversion conditions, imminent rain or any conditions that may reduce the quality of spray coverage or result in drift from the target area. Techniques to minimise drift should be employed at all times when aerially applying sprays to, or near, sensitive areas.

For insecticide resistance management, Success Neo Insecticide is a Group 5 insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Success Neo Insecticide and other Group 5 insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Success Neo Insecticide and other Group 5 insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Success Neo Insecticide on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Success Neo Insecticide to control resistant insects.


Success Neo Insecticide may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Dow AgroSciences representative or local agricultural department agronomist.

MIXING

Agitate or shake the container immediately prior to use. Half fill the spray tank with water, add the appropriate amount of accurately measured Success Neo Insecticide, then complete filling the tank. Ensure thorough agitation by mechanical or hydraulic action at all times during mixing and application.

Use only clean water within the range pH 5-9 to dilute Success Neo Insecticide.

STORAGE OF DILUTED SPRAY MIX

Whenever possible the spray mix should be used immediately after it is prepared. However, if weather conditions or mechanical breakdown prevent immediate use, the spray mix may be stored for up to 72 hours without loss of activity. The spray mix should be agitated thoroughly by mechanical or hydraulic action at regular intervals during storage to prevent sedimentation. Ensure that the stored spray mix is thoroughly agitated at least once every 8 hours. The spray mix must be stored out of direct sunlight.

For optimum results follow the application specifications listed below:

Ground Spraying: Apply in a minimum of 250 L/ha of water. Increase spray volumes as the crop grows. Ground Spraying Forage Brassicas and Canola ONLY: Apply in a minimum of 50L/ha of water. Aerial Spraying: Success Neo must only be applied by aircraft fitted with accurately calibrated equipment. Apply a minimum total spray volume of 30 L/ha with nozzles (e.g. Micronnaire rotary atomisers, CP nozzles or conventional hydraulic nozzles) set to medium spray quality according to ASAE S572 definition for standard nozzles. A spray drift minimisation strategy should be employed at all times when applying this product. DO NOT apply Success™ Neo using Ultra Low Volume (ULV) methods.

PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENT (Aerial Application)

DO NOT use human flaggers/markers unless they are protected by engineering controls such as enclosed cabs.

DILUTE SPRAYING

Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and match to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of first run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of runoff. If volume to be applied is < 1000L/ha then use the low volume (concentrate) application method for calculation of chemical rate. For volumes > 1000 L/ha use dilute spray rate.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

SUCCESS NEO


SUCCESS NEO



Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed.

After using Success Neo Insecticide empty the tank and completely drain the system. Rinse the tank, pumps, lines, hoses, filters and nozzles by circulating clean water through the system. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice.

Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume.

RE-ENTRY

Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see DILUTE SPRAYING above) for the crop canopy. Consult your local advisor, agronomist or Department of Agriculture to determine this volume. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate.

DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way:




1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: e.g. 1000 L/ha

2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: e.g. 500 L/ha 3. The concentration factor is 2 X (1000 / 500)

4. If the dilute label rate is 40 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 2 X 40, i.e. 80 mL/100 L of concentrate spray The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training. Always follow Industry Best Practices.

COMPATIBILITY

Success Neo is compatible with most herbicides, fungicides and insecticides. Always conduct a bucket test to confirm physical compatibility. Always follow the instructions on both products and, if in any doubt, consult Dow AgroSciences, your agronomist or consultant or the maker of the other product.

RAINFASTNESS Rain can wash Success Neo Insecticide from treated plant surfaces and result in reduced efficacy. Avoid making spray applications if rain is expected before the spray can dry completely.

352

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

This product is highly toxic to bees; will kill bees foraging in the crop to be treated or in hives which are over-sprayed or reached by spray drift. Residues may remain toxic to bees for several days after application.


Very Toxic to aquatic life. DO NOT allow the product or used containers to enter dams, ponds, waterways or drains. DO NOT allow irrigation water from treated paddocks to enter adjacent pastures, crops or water supplies. DO NOT apply in strong winds, inversion conditions or any other conditions that may result in drift onto adjacent pastures, crops or water supplies.


Risk to non-target insects. Success Neo Insecticide may have adverse effects on some non-target beneficials, such as foliage dwelling predators, particularly where IPM is practiced.

RATE


SYSTHANE 400 WP


For fungicide resistance management Dow AgroSciences SYSTHANE™ 400 WP Fungicide is a Group 3 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to the product and other Group 3 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungi population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by Dow AgroSciences SYSTHANE™ 400 WP Fungicide and other Group 3 Fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Dow AgroSciences SYSTHANE™ 400 WP Fungicide to control resistant fungi.

CONCENTRATE SPRAYING - Apples and Pears Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see DILUTE SPRAYING above) for the crop canopy. Consult your local advisor, agronomist or Department of Agriculture to determine this volume. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way: Concentrate Spraying Example 1) Dilute spray volume as determined above: e.g. 1500 L/ha 2) Your chosen concentrate spray volume: e.g. 500 L/ha 3) The concentration factor is 3X (1500 ÷ 500L) 4) If the dilute label rate is 12 g/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 12, i.e. 36 g/100 L of concentrate spray. The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practices.


MIXING/APPLICATION

Mixing: Add the required number of water soluble sachets direct to the vat when about one third full with agitators in motion. Add other products after Dow AgroSciences Systhane has dispersed. If premixing, use at least 2 litres of water for each sachet. Do not mix with water with high free chlorine content, or with borax, as it may affect solubility of sachets. Application: Dow AgroSciences Systhane 400 WP Fungicide may be applied with hand wands or conventional orchard sprayers.

B. Aerial Application

MIXING

Apply in a minimum volume of 35 L/ha water. Use calibrated equipment. Do not apply with smaller than medium to coarse spray droplets according to the ASABE S572 definition for standard nozzles. DO NOT apply Tordon™ 242 by aircraft unless wind speed is more than 3 kilometres per hour and less than 15 km/hr as measured at the application site and/or the air temperature is above 30°C, or when the wind is blowing towards susceptible crops.

Tordon™ 242 can be mixed with water only. Mix only sufficient chemical for each day’s use and avoid storing mix. Half fill the spray tank with water and add the required quantity of Tordon™ 242 and complete filling. Agitate continuously to ensure thorough mixing before and during application. Tank mixtures: Wettable powder or dry flowable formulations (e.g. water dispersible granules) should be added to the spray tank first, followed by suspension concentrates (flowables), water soluble salts and then emulsifiable concentrate formulations (e.g. Starane™ Advanced). Add spraying oils and surfactants (wetters) last, if required.



COMPATIBILITY

Tordon™ 242 is compatible with the following: (Read and follow all label directions, restraints, plant-back periods, withholding periods and safety directions on the partner label as well as those on the Tordon™ 242 label).

Broadleaf Herbicides

Eclipse® Herbicide Lontrel™ Herbicide MCPA amine MCPA LVE Metsulfuron-methyl Starane™ Advanced Herbicide 2,4-D amine

Grass Herbicides

Hoegrass® (annual ryegrass only) Topik® 240 EC (wild oats and phalaris only)

Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto wasteland away from desirable plants and water courses. Rinsing: After using Tordon™ 242 Cereal Herbicide, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the spray unit using a pressure hose. Drain, and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. Decontamination (before spraying cotton and other sensitive crops): see PROTECTION OF CROPS): Wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Then quarter fill the tank and add an alkali detergent at 500 mL/100 L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100 L and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow to drain.


Adjuvants

BS-1000 (when mixed with metsulfuron-methyl) Uptake™ Spraying Oil (when mixed with Topik® 240 EC)

Insecticides

Lemat® Rogor® Tordon™ 242 is not compatible with zinc products (such as Zinc dextrase and Zinc heptahydrate), copper salts (such as sulphate) and manganese sulphate. Do not use with hard water or water clariifed with alum.

™ Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company (“Dow”) or an affiliated company of Dow

APPLICATION METHODS A. Ground Application (Boom) Apply Tordon™ 242 with an accurately calibrated boom sprayer, in at least 50 L/ha water. Do not apply with smaller than medium to coarse spray droplets according to the ASABE S572 definition for standard nozzles. Set the boom at a height to ensure a double overlap of the nozzle pattern.

Tordon™ 242 Cereal Herbicide contains members of the pyridine and phenoxy groups of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group I Herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other disrupters of plant cell growth 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 this product or other disrupters of plant cell growth herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or local Dow AgroSciences representative.

TORDON 242


TORDON 242

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVES AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible crops and plants, cropping lands or pastures. Crops and plants susceptible to Tordon™ 242 include, but are not limited to clovers, medics, lupins, peas and other legumes, cotton, flowers, hops, grape and kiwi fruit vines, ornamentals, potatoes, safflower, shade trees, sugar beet, tobacco, tomatoes, tree fruits, and vegetables. DO NOT use on land to be cultivated for growing susceptible crops within 12 months of applying Tordon™ 242. Susceptible crops and plants can be damaged by soil residues during both growing and dormant periods. In the season following application of this product the regeneration or establishment of sensitive legumes (clover, medics, peas, lupins) may be adversely affected by soil residues. Cereal crops and grasses can be sown safely after using Tordon™ 242. This product will kill legumes (clovers, medics) present in the crop at the time of spraying. DO NOT apply close to or on areas containing roots of desirable vegetation, where treated soil may be washed to areas growing, or to be planted to desirable plants, or on sites where surface water from heavy rain can be expected to run off to areas containing or to be planted to susceptible crops or plants. DO NOT move soil which may have been sprayed to areas where desirable plants are to be grown. Cereal crops may be reduced in height following use of this product. This height reduction is a normal response and does not represent any yield loss. DO NOT apply Tordon™ 242 to crops or pastures, which are to be used for the production of compost or mulches for use with susceptible crops or plants. The use of straw, hay or other plant material treated with Tordon™ 242 for composting or mulching susceptible crops may damage these crops.





STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well ventilated area. Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. DO NOT store near food, feedstuffs, fertilisers or seed. The method of disposal of the container depends on the container type. Read the STORAGE AND DISPOSAL instructions on the label that is attached to the container.

WITHHOLDING PERIOD DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT CROPS (EXCEPT SUGAR CANE) OR PASTURES FOR STOCK FOOD FOR 7 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION. Sugar Cane: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 8 WEEKS AFTER APPLICATION. DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT FOR STOCK FOOD FOR 8 WEEKS AFTER APPLICATION.


Mixing: Mix only with water. It will not mix with oil or diesel fuel. Mechanical or by-pass agitation in the spray tank is recommended, and it should be maintained during spraying. Quarter fill the spray tank and add the required amount of herbicide in the following order: Wettable powder or water dispersible granules; suspension concentrates (atrazine flowable); aqueous concentrates (e.g. Tordon™ 75-D, 2,4-D amine); emulsifiable concentrates and finally surfactant or crop oil. Adjuvants: DO NOT add surfactants (such as BS-1000) or crop oils (such as Uptake Spraying Oil) unless specifically recommended to do so in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE Tables, 1 and 2.

APPLICATION Tordon 75-D may be applied by: Ground boom. Spray using accurately calibrated equipment delivering 50 - 100 L water/ha. DO NOT use less than 200 L/ha in sugar cane. When treating maize and sorghum, the risk of crop injury will be reduced if dropper nozzles are used to avoid spraying the growing point of the crop. Misting machines and boomjet sprayers should not be used for treating crops.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

Aircraft. Use accurately calibrated equipment to deliver not less than 20 L water/ha. DO NOT use less than 50 L/ha in sugar cane. High volume. Apply using a calibrated handgun with D5 or D6 (2 - 3 mm) nozzle plate and operated at 400 - 500 kPa. Spray to thoroughly wet the weed, usually 2,500-3,500 L water/infested ha is required. Stem injection. Treat only trees with good sap flow. Make injection cuts at 13 cm spacing around the diameter of the tree at waist height or at 15 cm spacing at ground level. The cuts should be made using a 5 to 7 cm wide narrow bladed axe. The cut must be made through the bark and deep enough to place all the chemical in contact with the sap wood. Treat each stem of a multistem tree where possible. Inject the chemical mix into each cut immediately after the cut is made. Apply the mix with a vaccinator or similar equipment which can be accurately calibrated or a tree injector which can apply the measured dose at or near ground level. Injection at or near ground level is essential in the Traprock area of south-eastern Queensland and is preferred for optimum results in Bimble box (poplar box) areas.

Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I 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 this product or other Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or local Dow AgroSciences representative.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS COMPATIBILITY Tordon DSH is compatible with the following adjuvants: Hasten® @ 500 mL/100 L water Supercharge® @ 500 mL/100 L water Uptake™ Spraying Oil @ 500 mL/100 L water.

MIXING Mix only with water. It will not mix with oil or diesel fuel. Only mix sufficient solution for immediate daily use and avoid storing.

When using the Tree Injector, make sure that the pump handle is held in whilst striking the tree, otherwise unnecessary strain will be placed on the pump and valve, and chemical will be ejected onto the bark. Use injector with groove in blade uppermost. Strike tree, cutting through bark to sapwood. Lower the upper end of the injector to open the cut, then move pump handle out and in to inject the dose. A smooth action will give better results than a quick “snapping” action. The chemical must be applied immediately after the dose pocket is made. B. Cut Stump/Brushcutter Application Stems should be cut less than 10 cm above the ground. Remove and treat the surface of any suckers present below the cut surface and ground level. Immediately apply Tordon DSH/water mixture liberally to the freshly cut stump by spraying the cut surface and sides of the stem. If cut surface is oily, add a 100% non-ionic surfactant (e.g. BS-1000) at 100 mL/100 L water to improve penetration. When using a brushcutter with a herbicide attachment, read all safety and operating instructions in the brushcutter manual prior to use of the equipment.


A. Stem Injection Application Mix one part Tordon DSH with 4 parts clean water. Agitate well before commencing work. After use, clean equipment thoroughly and rinse several times with water.

B. High Volume Application Half fill the spray unit with water, and add the required amount of Tordon DSH. Add the remaining water with the agitator running. If required, then add spray oils or wetters (surfactants). Maintain mechanical or by-pass agitation in the spray tank during spraying.

APPLICATION

A. Stem Injection Application Waist Height Application To make an injection pocket at waist height, use a 3/4 length axe with a blade width of 5 to 7 cm. The cut of injection must be through the bark and deep enough to place all the chemical in contact with the sap wood. The chemical must be applied immediately after the dose pocket is made. Apply chemical with a Phillips 5 mL vaccinator fitted with a tree injector kit which can be accurately calibrated. Set vaccinator to deliver 1 mL of herbicide mix. When treating regrowth less than the width of the axe, ensure chemical does not run out the sides of the cut, as reduced control will result. This can be overcome by using the corner of the axe to make the pocket in the stem or treating by cut stump application. Ground Level Application To make an injection pocket at ground level, use a narrow blade axe, as described for waist height application, or a C.M.B. Engineering Tree Injector designed for this application method.

378

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

C. High Volume Spraying Weeds need to be actively growing for herbicides to have optimum effect. In areas that have been bulldozed, slashed, burnt, ploughed or previously treated with chemical, wait until all regrowth has reached approximately 1 metre before treating. Thorough coverage of foliage to the point of run-off is essential, however, avoid excess spraying which is wasteful of chemical. Hand Gun (blackberry and gorse) Apply the recommended mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems through a No. 6 to 8 tip at 700 to 1500 kPa. A spray volume of 3000 to 4000 L per infested hectare of 1 to 2 metre high gorse and blackberry (30 to 40 L/100 m2) should be used. Knapsack (harrisia cactus) Apply the recommended spray mix to give a full coverage of all stems from the crown. Treatment should start from the end of each stem to the centre of the plant, with a final dose to the plant crown. Complete coverage of every stem is required for adequate control.

Rinsing After using Tordon DSH, empty the spray equipment completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the unit using a pressure hose, if necessary. Drain the spray unit, and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. After cleaning the spray unit as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. Decontamination Before spraying cotton and other sensitive crops with equipment that has been used to apply Tordon DSH, see PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS section. Wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Then quarter fill the tank and add an alkali detergent at 500 mL/100 L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100 L of water) and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Drain the whole system. Then remove filters, nozzles and clean them separately. Finally, flush the system with clean water and allow to drain. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean the separately.

*MCPA LVE refers to any product composed of 500 g/L of MCPA present as the ethyl hexyl ester. Bromoxynil-MCPA refers to any product composed of 200 g/L bromoxynil present as the n-octanoyl ester + 200 g/L MCPA present as the ethyl hexyl ester


HARVEST WITHHOLDING PERIOD:

Barley, Oats, Triticale and Wheat: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED. When using Torpedo in a tank mix with another product, observe the Harvest Withholding Period of the other product.

STOCKFOOD WITHHOLDING PERIOD:

DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT TREATED CROPS FOR STOCK FEED FOR 7 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION of Torpedo. When using Torpedo in a tank mix with another product, observe whichever Stockfood Withholding Period is the longer.

CROP SAFETY

Barley and oats – Under certain conditions which result in crop stress, Torpedo or tank mixes may result in transient crop effects (height reduction and yellowing). Grain yield is normally unaffected.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS MIXING Torpedo is a suspension concentrate which may show some separation on storage. Roll, shake or invert the container several times to ensure that Torpedo has completely resuspended before measuring to mix. Torpedo should be added to the spray tank with simultaneous agitation. If agitation is limited, premix the Torpedo in a bucket before adding to the main tank. Once diluted correctly, Torpedo remains in suspension.

If tank mixing with other products, the following order should be followed: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Quarter fill the spray tank, maintaining agitation, then: Add Torpedo (as described above). Add water to half fill the spray tank. Add wettable powders, water dispersible granules or other suspension concentrates. 5. Add emulsifiable concentrates. 6. Add Uptake Spraying Oil when spray tank is half full. 7. Add water to increase to the final spray volume.

COMPATIBILITY

Torpedo has not been tested in all tank mix combinations over all cereal varieties. All mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities. Broadleaf Herbicides Torpedo is biologically compatible for broadleaf weed control with Ester 800, Esteron™ LV, Amine 625 Herbicide, bromoxynil, bromoxynil-MCPA, MCPA amine, MCPA LVE, metsulfuron, Lontrel™ 750 SG, Lontrel™ Herbicide, Starane™ Advanced or Tordon™ 242. Tank mixes must be applied at the appropriate labelled cereal growth stage for the partner herbicide and rate. For best control of wild radish, Indian hedge mustard or turnip weed, always tank mix Torpedo with MCPA. Grass Herbicides For wild oat control, Axial® Herbicide, Wildcat® 110 EC and Topik® 240 EC are biologically compatible with Torpedo.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

387

Some reduction in wild oat control may occur with Topik 240 EC or Wildcat® 110 EC tank mixes under good growing conditions. The grass herbicide must be applied under excellent growing conditions and at the highest label rate or wild oat growth stage, size and density. Torpedo + MCPA LVE at up to 500 mL/ha may be tank mixed with Axial with some reduction in wild oat control under good growing conditions. Adjuvants For broadleaf weeds always use Uptake Spraying Oil at 500 mL/100 L, except when using metsulfuron in a tank mix. Use BS1000 at 100 mL/100 L with metsulfuron tank mixes. For wild oat control with Axial and Torpedo mixes, always use either Uptake Spraying Oil or Adigor® at 500 mL/100 L. For wild oat control with Topik 240 EC and Torpedo tank mixes, use Uptake Spraying Oil at 500 mL/100 L. For wild oat control with Wildcat 110 EC and Torpedo tank mixes, use BS1000 at 250 mL/100 L.

Torpedo contains members of the pyridine and triazolopyrimidine sulfonanilide group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth and acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor modes of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group I + Group B herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I and/or B 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 this product or other Group I or Group B herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of the product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant or local Department of Agriculture. Torpedo is a broadleaf herbicide with no grass weed activity and exerts no selection pressure on annual ryegrass.


APPLICATION

TORPEDO


Boom Spraying: Apply Torpedo in sufficient spray volume to obtain good coverage. It should be applied by an accurately calibrated ground rig using a water volume of 50–100 L/ha. Sprayers should aim to apply medium to coarse quality spray in accordance with ASABE standard S-572. Where coarse quality spray is to be applied, aim to apply a total spray volume of at least 80 L/ha.

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT:

After using Torpedo, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose, drain the tank and clean any tank, pump, line and nozzle filters. Partial Cleaning (Rinse only – before using rig to spray barley, oats, triticale and wheat): After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, line, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat procedure twice. Complete Cleaning (Decontamination – before using rig to spray crops that are susceptible to Torpedo): After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and add a liquid alkali detergent (e.g. Surf®, Omo®, Drive®) at 500 mL/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. Drain the whole system. Then remove filters and nozzles and clean separately. Finally rinse inside the tank thoroughly using a pressure hose and flush system with clean water and allow to drain. Note: If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and their roots and watercourses.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013


DO NOT apply under weather conditions or from spraying equipment that may cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures. Composts and Mulches Compost, mulch or mushroom substrate made from plant material treated with Torpedo may cause damage to susceptible crops or plants. DO NOT apply Torpedo to crops or pastures that will be used for the production of compost, mulches or mushroom substrate. Stubble from Treated Crops Ensure that harvesters effectively spread crop straw and do not leave a heavy ‘header trail’ after harvest. Burn (if legal in the area) or bale and remove, slash or incorporate stubble as soon as practical after harvest and for as long as possible before planting next year to allow microbial breakdown of any residues in straw. Heavy stubble loads may carry more residue into the following season. Where heavy stubble burdens and/or non-wetting soils exist and less than the recommended amount of rain has fallen from application to planting the susceptible crop (see below), only plant a winter or summer cereal. Susceptible crops and plants include, but are not limited to, canola, chickpeas, cotton, faba beans, field peas, fruit trees, lentils, lupins, lucerne, medics, ornamentals, potatoes, safflower, subclover, tomatoes, vegetables, vetches, vines (grape and kiwi fruit), wattles and white clover. Field peas, faba beans, lentils and vetches are particularly susceptible.

Where Torpedo residue carryover is suspected and susceptible crops are to be planted, test the treated area as follows: Field bioassay – where rain allows, plant a small area of the susceptible crop 4 to 6 weeks before desired planting date and take note of any symptoms of injury. If any herbicide symptoms are observed, only plant a cereal crop (see recommendations for northern and southern Australia below). Pot bioassay – where not practical to do field bioassay, plant a small number of seeds of the susceptible crop into pots containing soil from the treated field. Do this test 4 to 6 weeks before desired planting date. If any herbicide symptoms are observed, only plant a cereal crop (see recommendations for northern and southern Australia below). Planting Crops Following Use of Torpedo in Previous Cereal Crop Planting crops ‘dry’ without appropriate rain (see below) in the fallow prior to planting increases the risk of injury to susceptible crops. This practice should be avoided or only plant a cereal crop. In severely dry conditions, where less than 30% of average annual rainfall and/or less than the minimum rain has fallen between application and planting the next year (see below), only plant a cereal crop. Soil type On deep soils (with no impermeable sub-horizon), susceptible crops may be planted as shown in the table below after Torpedo application. On shallow, duplex, low organic matter soils with an impermeable sub-horizon within the root zone (30 cm deep or less), susceptible crops should not be planted for at least 9 months after application in northern Australia and 12 months after application in southern Australia.

Area/State

For all situations, sufficient rainfall to enable soil wetting for at least 1 week or more is essential to enable residue breakdown before planting susceptible crops.


Torpedo has low toxicity to fish, birds, honey bees, livestock, earthworms and aquatic organisms. Overspray or drift to sensitive habitats should be avoided. For ground application, a buffer zone of 15 metres is required between the downwind edge of the boom and the closest edge of non-target vegetation and a buffer zone of 5 metres is required between the downwind edge of the boom and the closest edge of waterbodies. Florasulam is very highly toxic to algae and aquatic plants. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with chemical or used containers.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Store in the tightly closed original container in a securely locked place, out of direct sunlight. DO NOT store near food, feedstuffs, fertilisers or seed.

SITUATION & CROPS

TREFLAN

INCORPORATION TABLE 13. (continued) Note: (a) Knife or blade point systems can result in poor weed control in the seed furrow as chemical displacement from this zone occurs. Stubble coverage above 40% - 50% ground cover can reduce weed control below acceptable levels. (b) A knife or blade point of 12 mm or less, has no wings, inverted T or blade, and is generally placed on a minimum (20 cm) 8 inch tyne spacing.

MIXING This product is an emulsifiable concentrate which mixes readily with water. Add the recommended amount to the spray tank during filling operation and apply 70 - 450 L of water per hectare (broadcast basis) dependent on soil type. Under hot conditions or where possible, spray and incorporate into the soil in one operation. Delay may cause inferior weed control. Use properly calibrated standard low pressure (170 - 340 kilopascal) boom type sprayer with fan tips. Ensure adequate agitation is continued throughout the operation. Leaving the prepared spray mixture for long periods of time without agitation is not recommended.

COMPATABILITY This product may be mixed in the spray tank with: Herbicides: Broadstrike™, Spinnaker®, chlorsulfuron, cyanazine, diuron, metribuzin, paraquat, simazine, triasulfuron and triallate. Insecticides: Lorsban™ 500 EC, endosulfan. NOTE: 1. As formulations of other manufacturers’ products are beyond the control of Dow AgroSciences all mixtures should be tested on a small scale before mixing in the spray tank. 2. Tank mixing instructions: Fill the spray tank 1/4 full of water and agitate. Add wettable powders and water dispersible granules first. Agitate until these are uniformly dispersed, meanwhile adding water until the tank is 90% full. Add suspension concentrates (flowables) then soluble concentrates. Emulsifiable concentrates go in last. Top off the tank with water and continue agitation until all the ingredients are properly mixed. Observe any mixing sequence instructions mentioned on the tank mix products.


CONDITIONS FOR BEST RESULTS

This product must be thoroughly incorporated as recommended. Soil should be well worked and free of weeds at time of application. Product effectiveness may be reduced by inadequate incorporation, high organic matter, excess clods, crop or trash residues, stones or other foreign matter and in areas of unnaturally high weed seed population such as header tracks or livestock rest areas. Treflan Herbicide is volatile and disappears from exposed surfaces. Loss is hastened by high temperatures, winds or warm moist soil.

INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT

The use of Integrated Weed Management (IWM) techniques in conjunction with Treflan Herbicide is always recommended. Agronomic practices that reduce the weed seed bank in the soil prior to the use of Treflan Herbicide will result in higher weed control levels from Treflan Herbicide. Failure to use Agronomic and IWM practices that reduce the weed seed bank in the soil will result in higher weed seed populations. Paddocks with excessively high weed seed banks may have sufficient weed numbers surviving such that final weed control may be considered below a commercially acceptable level and additional herbicide treatments may be necessary. The use of IWM techniques will also reduce the potential for the development or survival of Group D herbicide resistance weed biotypes.

WILD OATS Germinating wild oat seeds lying on soil surface will be controlled. Therefore, specific oat control is only possible with shallow cultivation. Poor control will occur on selfmulching soils and all soil types where deep cultivation is practised.

398

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013


Keep the spray unit for herbicides only if possible. Otherwise, spray tanks, pumps, lines and nozzles should be thoroughly rinsed several times with clean water following application. Spraymate® Tank & Equipment Cleaner is suitable for this purpose and will also remove Treflan Herbicide stains.


Treflan Herbicide is a member of the dinitronilines group of herbicides. Treflan Herbicide has the inhibitors of tubulin formation mode of action. For weed resistance management, Treflan Herbicide is a Group D herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to Treflan Herbicide and other Group D 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 Treflan Herbicide or other Group D herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Treflan Herbicide to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or local Dow AgroSciences representative.

DO NOT use in high winds. DO NOT exceed rate specified, to avoid crop damage. DO NOT plant sensitive grasses such as oats, sorghum, millets, Phalaris spp., ryegrass or wheat for 12 months following the use of this product, except where wheat follows wheat or other winter crops. DO NOT plant oil seed poppies when a detectable residue of trifluralin is present in the soil. Levels as low as 0.02 ppm may interact with other unfavourable factors (moisture, stress, disease etc.) to reduce poppy growth and vigour. DO NOT apply to orchards and vineyards after first flush of growth or when residues can lodge on or in fruit. Reduced germination of wheat and barley may occur due to a combination of following circumstances and the use of this product: • Short coleoptile cultivars • Use of seed dressings (except Vitavax®) • Shallow or uneven seedling depth

SAFETY DIRECTIONS • Harmful if swallowed. • Will irritate the eyes and skin. • Repeated exposure may cause allergic disorders. • Sensitive workers should use protective clothing. • Avoid contact with eyes and skin. • Do not inhale spray mist. • When opening the container and using the prepared spray, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist and a washable hat and elbow length PVC gloves and face shield or goggles. • After use and before eating, drinking or smoking, wash hands, arms and face thoroughly with soap and water. • After each day’s use, wash gloves, face shield or goggles and contaminated clothing.


Drift Warning DO NOT apply under meteorological conditions or from spraying equipment which could be expected to cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible plants, adjacent crops, crop lands or pastures.


DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers, or waterways with the chemical or used containers.

CUTTING CROPS AND PASTURES FOR STOCKFEED If the crop or pasture is to be cut for stockfeed, do not sell any stock that have been fed cut material for export slaughter until the Export Slaughter Interval (ESI) set below has been observed. The ESI is the minimum period that must elapse between removal of grazing livestock to clean pasture or clean feed and slaughter.

GRAZING TREATED AREAS AND CROPS FOR DOMESTIC & EXPORT MARKETS & FOR LIVESTOCK PRODUCING MILK FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION: LIVESTOCK DESTINED FOR THE DOMESTIC MARKET

Trojan may persist on dry pasture (or in harvested and stored animal feed, e.g. hay) for long periods. Livestock fed on pastures that were treated when drying off or while dry, may have residues at levels unacceptable to our overseas markets. Similarly, feeds harvested from pastures or crops treated when drying off or while dry, may have unacceptable levels of residues. The pasture, or crop, must be regarded as contaminated until such time as there has been substantial regrowth (i.e. following good rains or the Autumn break). Livestock grazing or receiving contaminated feed should be managed in accordance with the Export Intervals described above. If further advice is required, contact your local State Department of Agriculture or Primary Industries, or the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA)


Observe the grazing withholding periods as specified above before grazing treated pastures or fodder crops or cutting them for stockfeed. OR If over-spraying of grazing livestock is unavoidable and does occur, withhold stock from slaughter until the Export Grazing Interval (EGI) or Export Slaughter Interval is met. The EGI is the minimum period that must elapse between the application of the chemical product and slaughter of the stock, where grazing has continued on the crop/pasture from the time that the chemical product was applied.

TROJAN

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:


The label withholding period for grazing only applies to stock slaughtered for the domestic market. Some export markets apply different standards. To meet these standards, ensure that the Export Slaughter Interval or the Export Grazing Interval is observed before stock are sold or slaughtered.

Insect Resistance Warning

INSECTICIDE

For insecticide resistance management Trojan Insecticide is a Group 3A insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistance to Trojan Insecticide and other Group 3A insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Trojan Insecticide or other Group 3A insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Trojan Insecticide on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Trojan Insecticide to control insects. Trojan Insecticide may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Dow AgroSciences representative or local agricultural department agronomist. To help contain pyrethroid resistance in Helicoverpa (Heliothis) armigera in Northern New South Wales and Queensland the Summer Crop Insecticide Resistance Strategy published by the CropLife Insect Resistance Action Committee and the Cotton Industry Resistance Management program published by the Australian Cotton Cooperative Research Centre should be adhered to. Failure to observe these strategies may result in widespread resistance affecting the future viability of summer cropping. This product should NOT be used to treat infestations that were not controlled by an earlier application of Trojan or another synthetic pyrethroid. Infestations not controlled by this product should be treated with an insecticide from another chemical group.

MIXING

COMPATIBILITY

For ground or aircraft application with water: Add the required quantity of Trojan Insecticide to water whilst under agitation to ensure thorough mixing. Agitate while spraying. Do not allow the mixed solution to stand longer than 24 hours before use. If using highly alkaline water spray immediately after mixing. For cotton only add Trojan Insecticide last if mixing with chlorpyrifos. For Ultra Low Volume (ULV) oil based applications: Add the required quantity of Trojan Insecticide to the mineral spraying oil. For Cotton only add the mineral spraying oil, if any is required, if mixing with chlorpyrifos whilst under agitation to ensure thorough mixing. Add the required quantity of Trojan Insecticide last whilst thoroughly agitating. Agitate ULV solutions while spraying. Do not allow the mixed ULV solutions to stand longer than 24 hours before use.

Trojan Insecticide when applied as a water-based spray is compatible in mixture with chlorpyrifos, Lorsban™ 500 EC Insecticide and piperonyl butoxide (PBO) synergist. Trojan Insecticide when used in an ULV application is compatible in mixture with chlorpyrifos, PBO synergist, DC-Tron® Cotton spraying oil, or a similar mineral spraying oil.

APPLICATION


DO NOT use human flaggers/markers unless they are protected by engineering controls such as enclosed cabs.


Rainfastness

DO NOT apply if rain is expected within 30 minutes.

Thresholds

Acceptable “threshold” values for eggs and larval numbers may vary according to the stage of crop development and the pest management program undertaken. Alternative higher thresholds may be acceptable under certain circumstances.

Re-entry Period

DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried unless wearing cotton overalls (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use. Toxic to bees. DO NOT spray when bees are actively foraging. Risk is reduced by spraying in the early morning or late evening.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Dangerous to fish and aquatic invertebrates. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with Trojan Insecticide or the used container. Tail waters which flow from treated areas should be prevented from entering river systems. In case of spillage on floor or paved surfaces, soak up with sand, earth or synthetic absorbent and dispose of waste in a suitably licensed local authority landfill. If no landfill is available, bury the waste below 500 mm in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways. A strategy to minimise spray drift must be employed at all times when applying sprays near sensitive areas such as natural water-bodies.

Trojan Insecticide is a contact and residual insecticide. If spraying frequency is based on scouting, then for Helicoverpa spp. application at egg hatch will give optimum results.

Crop Checking Frequent and thorough checking of whole plants, terminals, squares, flowers, bolls or fruiting bodies as required, should be made over a random sample of plants, representative of the whole crop area. Inspect crops after spraying to ensure a thorough kill has been obtained, however, maximum kill may not be achieved until 48 hours after treatment, then check at frequent intervals, not more than 2 days apart when insect pressure is heavy. Apply the recommended treatment as soon as a crop check indicates spraying is necessary.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

TROJAN

Good coverage is essential to ensure adequate control. Trojan Insecticide may be applied by ground rig or aircraft using a FINE to MEDIUM spray as defined by the British Crop Protection Council system or the ASABE (S572). For ground rigs apply Trojan Insecticide in 50-100 litres of water per ha. For aerial application apply Trojan Insecticide in at least 20 litres of water per ha. Trojan Insecticide may also be applied as an oil based ULV spray in a total spray volume of at least 5 L/ha. ULV spraying is not recommended in areas where drift may cause concern.

MIXING

These are general mixing instructions. Always follow mixing instructions of each ingredient in tank-mix. Ensure product compatibility. Recommendations on other product labels take precedence over mixing instructions on this label. Add water to the spray tank to 10 cm above the level of agitation and ensure the agitation device is working vigorously. (There must be a minimum of 100 L of water in the tank before any pesticide is added.) If tank mixing, use the following general order for mix partners. First add water dispersible granules (eg. Broadstrike), second add flowable formulations (eg. atrazine), third add emulsifiable concentrates (eg. Verdict 520), fourth add water soluble liquids (eg. Lontrel Herbicide) and last Uptake Spraying Oil. Between the addition of each ingredient allow at least one minute to ensure thorough mixing before the next tank-mix partner is added. Finally add Uptake Spraying Oil. Continue filling the tank to the required volume maintaining agitation at all times. Only mix sufficient solution for immediate use. Verdict 520 and any other tank-mixes should be applied immediately for best results.

STORAGE OF SPRAY SOLUTION

Agitate for 1 hour every 8 hours, and agitate for 1 hour before spraying out where spray solution is not applied within 8 hours of mixing. Agitate sooner and/or for longer to maintain quality of spray solution, if recommended on partner product labels.

FIELD PEAS AND CANOLA:

MIXING

The oil recommended is Uptake Spraying Oil. Hasten® is also recommended for use with tank-mixtures of Verdict 520 and Select Herbicide. For canola, Verdict 520 + Lontrel 750 SG + Uptake Spraying Oil are compatible and selective to canola. This tank-mixture is also compatible with atrazine or simazine and selective to triazine tolerant canola.

Add water to the spray tank to 10 cm above the level of agitation and ensure the agitation device is working vigorously. (There must be a minimum of 100 L of water in the tank before any pesticide is added.) If tank mixing, firstly, add any soluble liquid formulations (e.g. LONTREL™ Herbicide) and allow agitation for approximately one minute. Then add Verdict 520 at the point where agitation is strongest. (Do not add Verdict 520 through a strainer or sieve). Allow further agitation for one minute. Half fill the spray tank. If using wettable powder or water dispersible granules, or other emulsifiable concentration formulations (e.g. LORSBAN™ 750 WG or LE-MAT®, these should be added after the Verdict 520 to the half full spray tank ensuring vigorous agitation. Finally add Uptake™ Spraying Oil or approved alternate spraying oil/wetter. (See section on spraying oils/wetters) and continue filling the tank to the required volume maintaining agitation at all times. Only mix sufficient solution for immediate use. Verdict 520 and any other tank mixes should be applied immediately for best results. Spraying Oils/wetters

CANOLA, LUCERNE, MEDIC AND CLOVER PASTURES AND SEED CROPS: When tank mixing Verdict 520 with Lontrel herbicides (canola only) or Broadstrike (lucerne, clover and medics), use Uptake Spraying Oil with the lower rates of Verdict 520 or a wetting agent with the higher rates of Verdict 520 unless otherwise specified. When mixing Verdict 520 with other broadleaf herbicides on these crops, DO NOT use an oil use a wetter instead.

418

When mixing with Blazer® or Basagran® DO NOT add spraying oil to these mixtures. DO NOT use these tank-mixes on cowpea.


Spraying Oils: It is essential to add an adjuvant to Verdict 520. Best results will be achieved with Uptake Spraying Oil at 0.5 L/100 L of spray solution. Alternatively, other oils plus a non-ionic wetter may also be used. When other crop spraying oils are used, mix at 1 L/100 L and add a non-ionic wetter (surfactant) at 200 mL/100 L of spray solution. Use of an oil is not always recommended. See CRITICAL COMMENTS for specific situation recommendations. ➁ Non-ionic Wetters: When Uptake or other oils are not used, a 100% concentrate non-ionic wetting agent such as BS-1000® at 200 mL/100 L must be used along with the higher rate of Verdict 520 as specified in the Directions For Use. Where water volumes of less than 50 L/ha are used, DO NOT use less than 250 mL/ha of Uptake or 500 mL/ha for oils other than Uptake or less than 100 mL/ha of wetter. ➀

Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of the product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or local Dow AgroSciences representative.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NONTARGET PLANTS Verdict 520 Herbicide damages cereals and grasses. DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures. Cereal crops or grasses planted within twelve weeks of application may be damaged by the residual effects of Verdict 520 Herbicide, particularly on light and red soils.


If broadleaf herbicides, particularly sulfonylureas, have been used in the spray equipment at any time prior to Verdict 520, particular care should be taken to follow the directions on the relevant broadleaf herbicide label for equipment cleaning, or damage to susceptible crops may occur. After using Verdict 520, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose, drain the tank and clean any filters in the tank, pump, line and nozzles. To rinse. After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. To decontaminate. Before spraying cereals, maize, sorghum or other sensitive crops, wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Then quarter fill the tank and add an alkali detergent (e.g. SURF®, Cold Water SURF Concentrate®, DynamoMatic Concentrate®, OMO® or DRIVE®) at 500 mL/100 L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100 L of water, and circulate throughout the system for at least fifteen minutes. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow to drain. Chlorine based cleaners are not recommended. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area, or if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and water sources.


Verdict 520 Herbicide is a member of the aryloxyphenoxy propionate group of herbicides. The product has the acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitor mode of action. For weed resistance management Verdict 520 Herbicide is a Group A herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group A 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 the product or other Group A herbicides.


DO NOT graze or cut treated crops for stock food except as specified under withholding periods.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Verdict 520 Herbicide is toxic to fish. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used container.

CRITICAL COMMENTS

Wild radish: Any survivors must be treated with another management technique or herbicide from a different mode-of-action group to avoid viable seed production.

IT Canola – may only by suppressed by X-Pand.

125 + tank-mix partner

Tank-mixes: For improved control, including larger weeds (up to 15 cm), apply X-Pand Herbicide in a tank-mix with MCPA LVE (500 g/L) at 350 - 500 mL/ha or BromoxynilMCPA (200 g + 200 g/L) at 350 - 500 mL/ha.


HARVEST WITHHOLDING PERIOD Barley, Triticale and Wheat: NONE REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED. When using X-Pand Herbicide in a tank mix with another product, observe the Harvest Withholding Period of the other product.

STOCKFOOD WITHHOLDING PERIOD DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT TREATED CROPS FOR STOCK FEED FOR 6 WEEKS AFTER APPLICATION of X-Pand Herbicide. When using X-Pand Herbicide in a tank mix with another product, observe whichever Stockfood Withholding Period is the longer. CROP SAFETY: Barley – While grain yields are unaffected, slight, transient yellowing and growth retardation may occur in some conditions. Crop recovery is usually rapid, but maybe slower if crops are stressed due to prolonged periods of extreme cold, moisture stress (water-logging or drought), nutritional stress, root disease, or previous herbicide treatment.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013



X-Pand Herbicide should be added to the spray tank with simultaneous agitation. If agitation is limited, premix the X-Pand Herbicide in a bucket before adding to the main tank. Once diluted correctly, X-Pand Herbicide remains in suspension. If tank mixing with other products, the following order should be followed: 1. Quarter fill the spray tank, maintaining agitation, then: 2. Add X-Pand Herbicide (as described above) 3. Add water to half fill the spray tank 4. Add wettable powders, suspension concentrates or other water dispersible granules. 5. Add emulsifiable concentrates. 6. Add Uptake™ Spraying Oil when spray tank is half-full. 7. Add water to bring to the final spray volume.

X-Pand Herbicide contains members of the amide (O) and triazolopyrimidine sulfonanilide (B) group of herbicides. The product has the diverse sites and acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor modes of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group O + Group B herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group O and/or B 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 this product or other Group O or Group B herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of the product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant or local Department of Agriculture.


COMPATIBILITY

X-Pand Herbicide is compatible with the following: Broadleaf Herbicides: Bromoxynil-MCPA, MCPA LVE and Lontrel 750 SG. Adjuvant: Always use Uptake Spraying Oil at 0.5% v/v.

APPLICATION

Boom Spraying: Apply X-Pand Herbicide in sufficient water to obtain good coverage. It should be applied by an accurately calibrated ground rig using a water volume of 50 – 100 L/ha. Sprayers should aim to apply medium quality spray in accordance with ASABE standard S-572.


After using X-Pand Herbicide, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose, drain the tank and clean any tank, pump, line and nozzle filters. Partial Cleaning (Rinse only - before using rig to spray barley, triticale and wheat): After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, line, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat procedure twice. Complete Cleaning (Decontamination - before using rig to spray crops that are susceptible to X-Pand Herbicide): After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and add a liquid alkali detergent (e.g. Surf®, Omo®, Drive®) at 500 mL/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least fifteen minutes. Drain the whole system. Then remove filters and nozzles and clean separately. Finally rinse inside the tank thoroughly using a pressure hose and flush system with clean water and allow to drain. Note: If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and their roots and watercourses.


Spraydrift or runoff containing X-Pand Herbicide may result in reduced germination or emergence of non-target plants adjacent to treated areas. DO NOT apply under weather conditions or from spraying equipment that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands, pastures or waterbodies. DO NOT plant a broadleaf crop into areas where X-Pand Herbicide has been used until AFTER the following winter season. As individual crop sensitivity to soil residues may vary, you must check with your field advisor, or Dow AgroSciences representative, before planting any crop following application of this product. All broadleaf crops are susceptible to carryover residues from X-Pand Herbicide. Crops such as brassicas (including canola), chickpeas, faba beans, field peas and other grain legumes are particularly at risk. Check with your Dow AgroSciences representative before planting any susceptible crop in the seasons following use of X-Pand Herbicide.

Where X-Pand Herbicide residue carryover is suspected and susceptible crops are to be planted, test the treated area as follows: Field bioassay – where rain allows, plant a small area of the susceptible crop four to six weeks before desired planting date and take note of any symptoms of injury. If any herbicide symptoms are observed, do not plant any broadleaf crop that season.

MIXING

X-PAND

Pot bioassay – where not practical to do field bioassay, plant a small number of seeds of the susceptible crop into pots containing soil from the treated field. Do this test four to six weeks before desired planting date. If any herbicide symptoms are observed, do not plant any broadleaf crop that season. Where X-Pand Hercide residue carryover is either suspected or confirmed in plant bioassays only plant a cereal crop.

Overspray or drift to sensitive habitats should be avoided. For ground application a buffer zone of 10 metres is required between the downwind edge of the boom and the closest edge of non-target vegetation or the closest edge of waterbodies. X-Pand Herbicide is very highly toxic to algae and aquatic plants. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with chemical or used containers. DO NOT spray of rain is likely to occur within 3 hours or if heavy rain is likely to occur within 48 hours.


Store in the tightly closed original container in a securely locked place, out of direct sunlight. DO NOT store near food, feedstuffs, fertilisers or seed. Single rinse before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. Puncture or shred and bury empty bags in a local authority landfill. If no landfill is available, bury the bags below 500 mm in a disposal pit specifically marked out and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots. Empty bags and product should not be burnt.


Wear appropriate clothing whilst cleaning up small spills (see SAFETY DIRECTIONS). Sweep up material and contain in a refuse vessel for disposal. Disposal of the contaminated material must be done in accordance with STATE and/or LOCAL regulations.
