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.

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.

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.
ABOUND 400
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
Abound 400 to control resistant weeds.

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.

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).

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.

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.

1. Dilute spray volume as determined above:
For example 1500 L/ha
2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume:
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.
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:

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.

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).

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

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.
These resistant weeds will not be controlled by the product
or other Group A herbicides.
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.

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.

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.
Uptake™ Spraying Oil at
500 mL/100 L or BS-1000 at

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

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.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013
MINIMUM RECROPPING PERIODS:
Broadstrike is broken down in the soil by microbial activity. Warm, moist soil conditions favour highest microbial
activity and quickest residue breakdown. For the recropping periods NNSW & Qld refers to summer dominant rainfall
areas, where crops are grown on deep black earth soils (vertisols), with no impermeable sub-horizon in the top
30cm. SNSW, Vic, Tas, SA and WA refers to winter dominant rainfall areas on soils with no impermeable sub-horizon
in the top 30cm. Also see the comments on rainfall and soil type below.

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.

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

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.

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

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
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.

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.

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

WEED TABLE:
NOTE: Where weeds are to be sprayed in a CROP or PASTURE use only the rates given for particular crop or situation
indicated under the DIRECTIONS FOR USE table.
In most cases these rates will give control, however some hard to kill weeds or those in advanced stages of growth may
only be suppressed. The rates listed in the Weed Table below are for use where weeds only are present and no crop or
pasture is involved. Use at these rates in a crop or pasture other than for spot spraying may cause damage. This product

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.
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 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.

spray tank.
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.

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.

Integrated Weed Management:
Weeds that survive treatment must not be
allowed to set viable seed. Use another
management technique or herbicide from
different mode-of-action group to avoid
viable seed production.
Strong suppression and often control of
capeweed can be expected if actively growing
weeds are treated in warm conditions.
Conversely, control may be reduced by frosts
in the 1-2 days preceeding application as
well as cold, wet conditions that slow plant
growth. Some regrowth may occur when
above average spring rainfall occurs.

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
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.

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
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.

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,
Crusader Herbicide should be mixed and sprayed out
within 8 hours.

The grazing limitations above apply specifically to stock slaughtered for the domestic market. Export markets may
apply different standards. To ensure compliance with residue standards in export markets, comply with the above
grazing withholding periods and ensure that the Export Slaughter Interval (ESI) is observed before stock are sold or
slaughtered.
Export Slaughter Interval: 14 Days. This means that livestock that has grazed on or was fed treated crops or
byproducts should be placed on clean feed for at least 14 days prior to slaughter.
PRECAUTION: Delegate Insecticide may leave detectable chemical residues in harvested produce. Overseas markets
may not have appropriate residue tolerances in place or may have established tolerances which are lower than
Australian maximum residue limits. Some crops for export to these destinations may require a longer harvesting
withholding period. If you are using this product on crops destined for export, please contact your exporter for advice.
WINE GRAPES: If you are growing grapes for export wine production, please check with your exporter or the AWRI for
the latest information on MRLs and import tolerances before using Delegate Insecticide.

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.

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.
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

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

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

recommendations.

mixed with a knockdown herbicide such
as glyphosate, paraquat or paraquat/

Apply after dough stage of crop. Interval
between application and effectiveness
is 10-20 days. For desiccation of green
matter, estimate harvest date and spray
approximately 14 days earlier. Rain
between spraying and actual harvest can
negate results.
NB. Where thistles are tall and branching
above crop, spraying can turn the
branches down into the crop, presenting
more stalks to cause header comb
blockages.
Spraying may increase seed
contamination of harvest by accelerating
maturity.
Do not use with undersown legumes that
have not set seed.

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.

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
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.
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,
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.

away from desirable plants and water courses.
NON-TARGET PLANTS
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.

GARLON 600
APPLICATION
COMPATIBILITY
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.
• 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 (<35%).
C. Controlled Droplet Application (C.D.A.)
• Results similar to high volume spraying can be obtained
using Micron Herb® 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.
D. Low Volume High Concentrate Application Techniques
• Good control will be achieved, similar to high volume
application, where bush size enables good coverage of the
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 which is connected to a hollow fibre glass rod
attached to a pressure 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.

2. CROPPING/FALLOW SITUATIONS
A. Boom Application
• Application of Garlon™ 600 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.
• DO NOT allow Garlon™ 600 to physically drift onto
desirable plants.
• Aircraft may be used to apply Garlon™ 600 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™ 600 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.
Decontamination
Before spraying cotton and other sensitive crops, with
equipment that has been used to apply Garlon™ 600, see
PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET
PLANTS section.
fill the tank and add a standard alkali based laundry detergent
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.
DIESEL-BASED CLEANING
Rinsing
After using Garlon™ 600, 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.
On completion of spraying, use a degreaser agent to remove
traces of diesel from the sprayer. Rinse tank and spray through
the nozzles with water to remove degreaser.
Decontamination
After the above, 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 or operate spray to
circulate the washing solution throughout the sprayer and spray
the solution through the nozzle. Rinse well with clean water to
remove detergent.
To clean brushes and container, spray liberally with degreaser.
Hose off thoroughly with clean water and repeat using
detergents (see above).
PRODUCT GUIDE 2013

GARLON 600
E. Basal Bark and Cut Stump Treatment
• Mix Garlon™ 600 in diesel. 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. When using Garlon™ 600 with diesel, nitrile/
neoprene gloves should be worn instead of rubber gloves.
Basal Bark Method
• DO NOT apply to wet stems as this can repel the diesel
mixture. Apply only with hand-directed equipment such as
a pressure sprayer or a paint brush. Spray equipment
should be used at low pressures, up to 200 kPa, to avoid
excessive splashing or drift. Species with old, rough bark
require more thorough wetting than smooth barked
species. Liberally spray or paint the bark around the stem
from ground level up to 30 cm high, wetting thoroughly to
the point of runoff (unless otherwise stated).
Cut Stump Method
• Stems should be cut less than 15 cm above the ground.
Immediately apply Garlon™ 600/diesel mixture
liberally to the freshly cut stump by spray or painting
the cut surface and sides of the stem.

Add a non-ionic surfactant at its recommended rate to
enhance activity.
3 or 4 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. Goal 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 Goal 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.

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

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013
* When mixed with a glyphosate product
at its recommended rate.
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
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.

GOAL
SAFE SOWING INTERVALS
planting zone or covering seed with treated soil may result in injury
to emerging crop seedlings. Avoid covering the seed with soil
treated with Goal Herbicide during the planting operation to
minimise crop injury.
Goal Herbicide has residual soil activity, especially when applied at
rates greater than 75 mL/ha and on small-seeded horticultural crops.
Plant back intervals in the following table for horticultural crops must
be observed if more than 75 mL/ha Goal Herbicide has been applied.
Goal Herbicide at up to 75 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

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.

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.
GoalTender 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.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013
GoalTender Herbicide is a member of the diphenyl ether
group of herbicides. The mode of action of GoalTender
Herbicide is to inhibit protoporphyrinogen oxidase.
For weed resistance management, GoalTender Herbicide
is a Group G herbicide. Some naturally-occurring
weed biotypes resistant to GoalTender Herbicide and
other Group G herbicides may exist through normal
genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant
if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These weeds
will not be controlled by GoalTender Herbicide or other
Group G herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant
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.
Spray equipment should be calibrated carefully before use.
GoalTender 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 the
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 37.5 mL/ha of GoalTender Herbicide with
glyphosate herbicides should be applied in 30 to 200 litres
spray volume per hectare. For maximum residual control,
GoalTender Herbicide should NOT be incorporated or
disturbed after application.
TIMING
Residual control
For optimum residual weed control, GoalTender 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, GoalTender
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.

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. Plantback intervals in the following table
for horticultural crops must be observed if more than
37.5 mL/ha GoalTender Herbicide has been applied.

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.

CLEANING APPLICATION EQUIPMENT
TREATMENT OF CLUMPS OF TREES OR PATCHES
OF REGROWTH
Graslan™ pellets are particularly effective in treating areas

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.

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.

COMPATIBILITY
Follow any regional restrictions, and all directions and
restrictions on the label, of any chemical mixed with
Grazon Extra (e.g. 2,4,-D amine).
Grazon Extra is compatible with the following herbicides:
Dow AgroSciences Amine 625,(2,4-D), Abound™
400, AgriCrop Lantana 600, Ripper™ 480, glyphosate,
metsulfuron-methyl, Roundup® CT, Starane™ Advanced.
Grazon Extra is compatible with the following adjuvants,
as per Directions for Use on this label; Uptake™ Spraying
Oil, BS1000 Biodegradable Surfactant, (alternatives are
Chemwet 1000, and Spreadwet 1000 Wetting Agent),
or Pulse® Penetrant.
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.
MIXING
Mix only with water.
Half fill the spray unit with water, and add the required
amount of Grazon Extra. 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. Only mix sufficient
solution for immediate daily use and avoid storing.
172
PRODUCT GUIDE 2013
APPLICATION
Only apply Grazon Extra under atmospheric
conditions that do not allow drift onto sensitive
crops to occur.
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.
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
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,
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
If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g
(or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners.
clean them separately. Finally flush the system with
clean water and allow to drain.
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.

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,

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
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.

Aminopyralid remains active in the soil for extended periods depending on 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 Hotshot in different areas in Australia.
Northern New South Wales & Queensland
Plant-back periods for rotational crops following application of Hotshot for rates up to 750 mL/ha on black cracking

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
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

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.

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
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.

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.
Example Only
1) Dilute spray volume as determined above:
For example, 1500 L/ha
2) Your chosen concentrate spray volume:
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.

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,

APPLICATION
For volumes of, or greater than, 1000 L/ha, use the
dilute spray rate. If volume to be applied is less than

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.
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.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IT IS ESSENTIAL to select a rate appropriate to weed size. Best results will be obtained when weeds are actively growing at
treatment.
RESTRAINTS:
DO NOT apply to weeds which may be stressed (inactive growth) due to prolonged periods of extreme heat or cold,
moisture stress (water logging or drought) or previous herbicide treatment as reduced levels of control may result.
DO NOT apply immediately before sowing susceptible crops, or sow susceptible crops into paddocks treated the previous
year with Lontrel until after the required plantback period has elapsed (see PROTECTION OF CROPS NATIVE AND OTHER
NON-TARGET PLANTS section).
DO NOT compost material from treated plants or crops before reading the PROTECTION OF CROPS NATIVE AND OTHER

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.

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.

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
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 each day’s use, wash gloves and face shield.
AND ENVIRONMENT
Lontrel has low toxicity to fish, birds, honey bees, livestock,
earthworms and aquatic organisms.

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 BS1000®
at 0.2%v/v 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 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.

stage to early flowering. Thorough spraying is necessary.

plants, apply 10 mL to each crown.

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.

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
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
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.

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.

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
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.

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.

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.
Only mix sufficient spray solution for immediate use and
avoid storing.

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.
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
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
tank using a pressure hose. Quarter fill the tank with clean
water and circulate as above, then drain.

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.

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
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
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.
representative.
NON-TARGET PLANTS
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:

COMPATIBILITY
Thorough coverage is essential. For application by aircraft
apply in 10-50 L of water/ha.
Lorsban 500 EC Insecticide is compatible with the following:
MIXING
Slowly add the required amount of product to the water in
the spray tank under agitation.
Soil Application
In-furrow: Apply as a band spray to the open furrow at
planting. Spray the entire furrow width using a nozzle
located directly behind the seed tube. Ensure all spray is
directed into the furrow contacting bottom, sides and all soil
drawn in to the furrow at closure. Use a minimum of
20 L of water/ha. Use the higher rate under extreme
population numbers.
Bait Application
Bran bait: Mix 10 mL/kg of bran using sufficient water to
give a moist crumb structure. Allow to stand for 2-3 hours
before application. Gloves should be worn when preparing
and applying the bait.
Cracked wheat or cracked sorghum bait: Mix the required
volume of this product and sunflower oil together. Then, add
to the wheat or sorghum, mixing thoroughly. Gloves should
be worn when preparing the bait.

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
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
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.

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
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.
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.

After using Lorsban 750 WG, empty the spray equipment
completely and drain the whole system. Quarter fill the spray
equipment with clean water and circulate through the pump,

For insecticide resistance management Lorsban 750 WG
Insecticide is a Group 1B Insecticide.
Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant
to Lorsban 750 WG Insecticide and other Group 1B
insecticides may exist through genetic variability in
any insect population. The resistant individuals can
eventually dominate the insect population if Lorsban
750 WG Insecticide or other Group 1B insecticides are
used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Lorsban 750 WG
Insecticide on resistant individuals could be significantly
reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is
from failure of Lorsban 750 WG Insecticide to control
resistant insects.
Lorsban 750 WG Insecticide may be subject to specific
resistance management strategies.

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.

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.
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.

SAFETY DIRECTIONS
• May irritate the eyes. Avoid contact with eyes.
• If product is in eyes, wash it out immediately with 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.

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.
AND ENVIRONMENT
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.

NOTE – CROPS INTENDED FOR EXPORT: Prodigy
Insecticide may leave detectable chemical residues in
harvested produce. Overseas markets may not have
appropriate residue tolerances in place or may have
established tolerances which are lower than Australian
maximum residue limits. Some crops for export to these
destinations may require a longer harvest withholding
period. If you plan to use this product on crops destined for
export, please check with your exporter before using
Prodigy Insecticide.
COMPATIBILITY

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.

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:
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 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.

MIXING
Slowly add the required amount of Reldan Grain Protector
to the water in the tank. Use clean water only. The special
formulation ensures rapid mixing.
APPLICATION ON STORED CEREAL GRAIN
AND LUPINS
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.
Users should note that suitable MRLs or import tolerances
may not have been established in all markets for produce
treated with Reldan Grain Protector. Before treating grain
for export, please check with Dow AgroSciences for the
latest information on MRLs and import tolerances.
PRECAUTION
AND ENVIRONMENT
Dangerous to fish and other aquatic organisms.
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.

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.

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).

BAND SPRAYING. Band spraying may be done immediately
after the sowing operation. Mount the nozzles behind the
coulter/tyne/press wheel assembly of the band seeder.
Adjust to spray 0.5 to 1 m strips. Ensure minimal disturbance
of the pasture. Excessive dust created in the seedling
operation may reduce herbicide activity. Pasture seed must

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.

RIPPER 480
Table E: Perennial Weeds - Boom and High Volume Application (continued)
RIPPER 480
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Ripper 480 is a non-volatile, non selective, water soluble liquid
herbicide with non-selective herbicidal activity against many
annual, perennial and woody broadleaf weeds and grasses.
Ripper 480 may be used prior to sowing any crop (edible or
non edible) but not prior to transplanting tomato seedlings.
When applying this product prior to transplanting crops into
plastic mulch, care must be taken to remove residues of this
product from the plastic prior to transplanting. Residues can be
removed by 2 cm of natural rainfall or by applying water via a
sprinkler irrigation system.
Ripper 480 will control emerged weeds only, and provides no
residual weed control. Apply treatments to weeds which have
at least one true leaf (broadleaf weeds) or two leaves (grasses)
to provide an adequate surface area for herbicide uptake.
Ripper 480 is absorbed by plant foliage and green stems.
It is inactivated on clay and organic matter in soil and does
not provide residual weed control. Ripper 480 moves through
the plant from the point of contact to and into the root system.
Initial visible effects on annual weeds take 3-7 days, but may
not be noticeable for 2 to 3 weeks under cool cloudy conditions
or on some perennial weeds.
Visible effects are a gradual yellowing and wilting of the plant
which advances to complete browning of above ground growth
and deterioration of underground plant parts. Unmerged parts
rising from unattached underground rhizomes or rootstock of
perennials will not be affected by spray and will continue to
grow. For this reason best control of most perennial and woody
weeds is obtained at late growth stages approaching maturity.
Rainfall occurring up to 6 hours after application may reduce
effectiveness. Heavy rainfall within 2 hours after application
may wash the chemical off the foliage and a repeat treatment
may be required. Delay treatment of plants wet with dew or
rain, if water droplets run off when plants are disturbed.
MIXING
Ripper 480 mixes readily with water. Reduced results may
occur if water containing; suspended clay or organic matter
e.g. from dams, streams and irrigation channels, or if hard water
containing calcium, magnesium or bicarbonate ions is used.
Do not mix, store or apply this product or spray solutions of this
product in galvanised steel or unlined steel containers or spray
tanks, since a highly flammable gas mixture may be formed.
Use stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper, fibreglass, plastic
or plastic lined containers or spray tanks. Ensure the sprayer is
free of any residue of previous spray materials.
Use spray solutions promptly and certainly within 5 days since
a gradual loss of activity will occur.

CROP ESTABLISHMENT
Ripper 480 is recommended for control of emerged weeds
prior to crop establishment. Suitable cultivation and/or sowing
operations are required to provide seed bed conditions
satisfactory for crop germination and development. Spraying
early to control young weeds will favour preparation of suitable
seed beds. On friable soils and where there is only light cover
of young weeds, sowing may proceed satisfactorily from one
day after spraying.
In situations of heavy weed growth sowing should be delayed
until weed decay and soil conditions allow formation of a
satisfactory seed bed. Incorporation of green or decaying
vegetation and roots into the seedbed by cultivation or sowing
may cause retarded crop emergence, particularly in cold and/
or wet conditions. Vegetation may be reduced by grazing and
weed decay may be assisted by cultivation to leave trash
on the surface. In marginal seedbed conditions take care to
achieve correct seeding depth, and avoid use of pre-emergence
herbicides where label directions advise of risk of retarded
crop emergence.
284
PRODUCT GUIDE 2013
Mixing Instructions:
1. Fill the spray tank to ½ full with clean water and start and
maintain agitation.
2. Where crystalline ammonium sulphate (crystalline or liquid
form) is recommended, wash crystalline form at 2 % w/v
(2 kg/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.
3. Add Ripper™ 480 and allow mixing thoroughly for several
minutes.
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) and mix thoroughly.
5. Then add emulsifiable concentrate formulations, such as
Starane™ Advanced, and allow mixing thoroughly
for several minutes.
6. Add remaining water to desired final fill level.
7. Add Pulse® or 100% non-ionic surfactant, if required,
near the end of the filling process to minimize excessive
foaming.
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.
TANK MIXTURES/COMPATIBILITY
Ripper 480 may be tank-mixed with the following herbicides,
insecticides and additives. Read and follow all label directions,
for the tank mix products.
Tank Mixtures - Herbicides
Esteron™ LV, 2,4-D Ester 800 (2,4-D ester), Abound™ 400
(2,4-D isopropylamine), atrazine# flowable or granular (Do not
apply the tank mix for control of barnyard grass or liverseed
grass), chlorsulfuron, Express1®, Eclipse1®, Garlon™ 600,
Goal™, Grazon™ Extra, Hammer1®, Lontrel™ Herbicide,
Lontrel™ 750 SG, metsulfuron, MCPA LVE, Monza1®, Oust1®,
pendimethalin, Starane™ Advanced, simazine# flowable or
granular, Tordon™ 75-D, triasulfuron and trifluralin.
# Ammonium sulphate may improve the performance
of tank mixtures of Ripper 480 and atrazine or simazine.
See directions below.
Tank Mixtures - Insecticides
Ripper 480 is compatible with the following insecticides:
Imidan®, Le-mat®, Lorsban™ 500 EC, Sumithion® ULV,
Trojan™ and emulsifiable concentrates of dimethoate and
fenitrothion. Other insecticides have not been tested.
Adjuvant - Crystalline Ammonium sulphate
Rate: 2 kg per 100 litres spray solution. (DO NOT apply the
tank mix for barnyard grass control). The addition of ammonium
sulphate to Ripper 480, when used to control annual weeds,
MAY improve the performance of Ripper 480 under adverse
environmental conditions such as cool cloudy weather.
Ammonium sulphate may also improve the performance of
tank mixtures of Ripper 480 and atrazine or simazine.
Use only crystalline ammonium sulphate, NOT prilled or
granular forms. To test quality, dissolve 2 tablespoons in
2 litres of water. Swirl gently for 2 minutes. If undissolved
particles remain, it is advisable to pre-dissolve prior to adding
to spray tank through a screen. Ammonium sulphate may be
corrosive to metal parts of the sprayer. Thoroughly flush tanks,
pumps and nozzles with water after use.
APPLICATION
Ripper 480 is a non-selective translocated herbicide.
Direct spray contact, or even slight drift, may cause severe
injury or destruction of any growing crop or other desirable
plants including trees. Clean all equipment after use by
thoroughly washing with water.
Boom Equipment
Application of Ripper 480 in spray volumes of 25 to 200 litres
of clean water per hectare is recommended. When using
Ripper 480 at 375 mL to 1.125 L/ha, spray volumes in the
range 25-100 L/ha are preferred. 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.

Add when treating annual ryegrass, silvergrass and perennial
grasses in late Winter and Spring. Wetter® TX is NOT a
general purpose surfactant and should be used only where
recommended.
Rate: 200 mL/100 L of spray solution.
SURFACTANT ADDITION
The addition of Turbo® Plus or a 100% non-ionic surfactant
MAY improve weed control where water rates are high or
product rates low. Determine from the following chart.
Rate: 200 mL/100 L of water. Do not add spraying oils,
agricultural chemicals or any other material except as directed
on the label.
Ripper 480 Herbicide

Hand gun
Apply the recommended mix to ensure complete and uniform
coverage of leaves and stems through a D6 to D8 spray tip
(Spraying Systems Australia P/L), or equivalent, and an
operating pressure of 400 to 700 kPa.
Knapsack & 12 Volt Sprayer Packs
Only recommended for the control of herbaceous weeds such
as flatweed, plantains and thistles. Apply the recommended
spray mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems.
DO NOT use knapsacks or 12 volt sprayer packs to treat woody
weeds.
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 5m2 of
surface area of bush. This relates to 20 droplets/cm2 of leaf
surface.
Sprinkler sprayer
This technique involves using a micro sprinkler which 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.
Surfactant Addition Chart
No Turbo Plus Needed
1.6
High Volume Application
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.
Thorough coverage of foliage to the point of run-off is essential;
however, avoid excess spraying which is wasteful of chemical.

of Ripper 480 prior to planting Winter cereals will improve
knockdown and increase the speed at which treated weeds
develop visible symptoms of phytotoxicity.
RIPPER 480
Wiper Equipment
Wiper equipment (e.g. ropewick, canvas, felt or carpet
applicators) may be used to apply Ripper 480. Avoid contact
with desirable vegetation.
Operate wiper equipment a minimum of 10 cm above the crop
or pasture. Weeds should be at least 15 cm above the crop
or pasture at time of application. Speed of travel should be no
greater than 8 km/h. Best results are achieved at lower speeds
and where two applications are made in opposite directions
(double pass).
Where weeds are of variable height, or occur in dense
infestations or clumps, some plants may be contacted by the
herbicide solution. In these cases repeat treatment may be
necessary.
Mix only enough herbicide solution for immediate use.
Do not store mixed solution for more than a few days. Flush out
equipment with water after use.
RATE: Mix 800 mL Ripper 480 with 2.2 litres clean water.
Adjust flow rate to suit equipment.
CAUTION: CDA equipment produces a fine spray pattern
which is not easily visible. Ensure spray pattern or drift does
not contact foliage or any other green tissue of desirable
plants, since severe injury or destruction may result.
Aerial Equipment
Aerial equipment may be used to apply Ripper 480 only in
pasture or fallow situations prior to establishment of field crops,
fodder crops, or new pasture, and for pre-harvest application
to cotton and sorghum crops. DO NOT use in intensive
horticultural cropping areas. Use recommended rates of Ripper
480 specified in this label up to a maximum limit of 3 L/ha.
For Micronair and boom equipment, apply in a minimum
spray volume of at least 20 L/ha. Droplets with an average
size (or VMD) of 250-350 micron diameter are recommended.
Swath width should be 15-17 metres.
Thoroughly wash aircraft, especially landing gear, after each
day of spraying to remove herbicide residues.

Stem Injection Equipment
To make an injection pocket at waist height, use a ¾ 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 the entire
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 0.75 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.
Cut Stump 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 Ripper 480/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 at
100 mL/100 L water to improve penetration.
When using a brush cutter with an herbicide attachment, read
all safety and operating instructions in the brush cutter manual
prior to use of the equipment.
Controlled Droplet Application (CDA)
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 CDA unit.
DO NOT add oils to Ripper 480/water mixture, otherwise
difficulty in application and reduced weed control may occur.
286
PRODUCT GUIDE 2013
Application on hilly terrain
As spraying height may vary, to maximise target contact,
increase water volume to 30-80 L/ha and increase median
droplet diameter of output to at least 300 micron VMD.
Air Temperature and Relative Humidity
DO NOT apply Ripper 480 by aircraft when temperature is
above 30°C.
Avoid application when relative humidity falls below 35%.
High temperatures and/or low relative humidity cause excessive
evaporation of spray droplets which may reduce results.
When temperature reaches 25°C, increase water volume
to at least 30 L/ha, and increase droplet size to at least
300 micron VMD.
Avoid Drift
DO NOT apply treatments with spraying equipment or under
weather conditions which are likely to cause spray drift onto
nearby susceptible crops, pastures or other sensitive plants.
DO NOT use with spraying equipment, which produce fine
droplets (150 microns or less) or under meteorological
conditions conducive to drift e.g. wind speeds over 12 km/h,
inversion conditions, still air or hot dry days.
CLEANING APPLICATION EQUIPMENT
Spray tanks, pumps, lines and nozzles should be thoroughly
cleaned with clean water following application.
Ripper 480 is a member of the Glycines group of herbicides.
Ripper 480 has the inhibition of EPSP synthase mode of
action. For weed resistance management Ripper 480 is a
Group M herbicide.

PROTECTION OF CROP, NATIVE AND OTHER
NON-TARGET PLANTS
Avoid contact with foliage, green bark or stems, canes, laterals,
suckers, fresh wounds, exposed non-woody roots, flowers or
fruit of crops, desirable plants and trees, since severe injury or
destruction may result.
A withholding period for grazing stock is not required. However,
it is recommended that grazing of treated plants be delayed for
one day after treatment of annual weeds, or 7 days of perennial
weeds are present, to ensure absorption of Ripper 480.
Certain plants (eg. soursob, variegated thistle) may be naturally
toxic to stock. Where known toxic plants are present, do not
allow stock to graze until complete browning of treated plants
has occurred.

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.)

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.

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.

TOPIK 240 EC
Always use Uptake Spraying Oil with Starane Advanced
+ Topik 240 EC tank mixes at 500 mL/100 L of spray
mix with a minimum of 250 mL/ha.
DO NOT mix Starane Advanced with Topik 240 EC if the
grass weeds are not actively growing. Always use the
maximum label rate of Topik 240 EC for the appropriate
grass growth stage.
DO NOT use Starane Advanced at more than 450 mL/ha
in tank mixes with Topik 240 EC.
RIPPER 480 (glyphosate)
When mixing Starane Advanced with Ripper 480 to
control both grass and broadleaf weeds, refer to the
Ripper 480 label for use rate recommended for grasses.
DO NOT use Ripper 480 at less than 1.125 L/ha in tank
mixes with Starane Advanced, when barnyard grass,
buttongrass, crowsfoot grass, native millet and liverseed
grass are the target species.
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.
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.

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
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.
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.

STARANE ADVANCED
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.

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

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.

STATESMAN 720
APPLICATION INFORMATION (see also
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.

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.

APPLICATION
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

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.

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.
372
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
wash inside the unit using a pressure hose, if necessary.
Drain the spray unit, and clean any filters in the tank, pump,

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.
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.
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
or other Group I or Group B herbicides. Since the occurrence
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
watercourses.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013
NON-TARGET PLANTS
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.

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:
beyond the control of Dow AgroSciences all mixtures should
be tested on a small scale before mixing in the spray tank.
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
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.

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
• Sensitive workers should use protective clothing.
• When opening the container and using the prepared spray,

If these are unavailable, monitor the crops
regularly once flowering commences and apply
as soon as adult weevils are detected. Adults
must be controlled before egg laying begins.
Both native budworm and pea weevil populations
can be easily monitored using a sweep net in the
top section of the crop.
WA only: Commence monitoring the crop for
Pea weevil presence using a sweep net, prior
to flowering. Spray when one weevil per one
hundred sweeps is found for milling grade
seed, or one weevil per twenty-five sweeps
for feed grade seed. Continue monitoring after
spraying and respray if necessary. Use either a

Apply when numbers reach 10-15 adults per
plant at budding in dry land crops or 20-25 in
irrigated crops. If Helicoverpa armigera are also
present in Northern NSW or Queensland,
use a minimum of 50 mL product.
Apply when an average of 2-3 larvae are present
per head or when larvae are damaging plants.
Use the higher rate if pest numbers are high
and/or H. punctigera larvae are larger than
10 mm in length. In Northern NSW and Qld, do
not apply to resistant H. armigera larvae larger
than 5 mm in length.
GENERAL COMMENTS: If flowering has started,
application should be deferred until after
flowering but before the heads turn down. If
treatment is unavoidable during flowering and
bees are actively foraging in the crop, there
will be minimal effect in the colony if spraying
occurs early morning or late afternoon.

Treat plants on a 7 to 14 day schedule. In
Northern NSW and Qld, DO NOT apply to
Helicoverpa armigera larvae larger than
5 mm in length. In other areas for best results
apply soon after egg lay. To help manage
resistance, alternate sprays between different
chemical groups. Check the crop every few
days and follow the Summer Crop Insecticide
Strategy. There may be phytotoxicity with some
varieties especially “Floradade”.

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.
LIVESTOCK PRODUCING MILK FOR HUMAN
CONSUMPTION
Observe the grazing or cutting for stockfeed withholding
period specified above before grazing lactating dairy stock
on treated pastures or fodder crops, or before cutting
treated crops as feed for lactating dairy stock.
EXPORT SLAUGHTER INTERVAL (ESI) - 42 DAYS:
Livestock that have been grazing on or fed treated crops
and/or over-sprayed should be placed on clean feed for
42 days (6 weeks) prior to export slaughter.
EXPORT GRAZING INTERVAL (EGI) - 56 DAYS:
Livestock that have been grazing on treated crops/pastures
and/or over-sprayed should not be sold for export slaughter
for 56 days (8 weeks) after application of the chemical
product, unless the Export Slaughter Interval has been
observed.
