GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

FARMALINX 2,4-D 300 Herbicide

Herbicidal Activity:

• Nonselective herbicide against broadleaf weeds.
• Controls emerged weeds only, with no residual control.

Mode of Action:

• Absorbed by plant foliage, accumulating to toxic levels in growth and reproductive regions.
• Disrupts the plant's ability to balance nutrient synthesis and utilization.

Visible Effects:

• Gradual yellowing and wilting of plants leading to complete browning and root deterioration.
• Effects may take 7-10 days (up to 21 days in cold conditions) to become apparent.

Conditions for Application:

• Avoid treating weeds under poor growing conditions (drought, water-logging, disease, etc.).
• Reduced efficacy if weeds are stressed from previous herbicide application.
• Rainfall within 6 hours may reduce effectiveness.
• Avoid spraying in strong winds.

CROP ESTABLISHMENT:

• Recommended as an additive to glyphosate for controlling emerged weeds before crop establishment.
• Observe specific Plant Back Periods to ensure safe sowing.
• Plant Back Period influenced by moisture, temperature, and soil characteristics.
• Considerations for delaying sowing in certain conditions.

APPLICATION:

Boom Equipment:

• Recommended spray volumes of 25-100 L/ha for FARMALINX 2,4-D 300 Herbicide/glyphosate mixtures.
• Adjust volumes when other herbicides are included.
• Boom height should ensure double overlap of nozzle patterns at the top of weed canopy.

Aerial Equipment:

• Minimum spray volume of 15 L/ha for FARMALINX 2,4-D 300 Herbicide/glyphosate mixtures.
• Increase water volume to 30 L/ha when temperatures reach 25°C.
• DO NOT apply by aircraft when temperature is above 35°C.
• Avoid use in intensive horticultural cropping areas.
• Thoroughly wash aircraft after each day of spraying.

EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE:

• Use stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, fiberglass, or plastic-lined containers for mixing, storing, and applying FARMALINX 2,4-D 300 Herbicide and glyphosate.
• DO NOT use galvanized or unlined steel containers or spray tanks to avoid the production of combustible hydrogen gas.
• Clean equipment after use with hot soapy water, ammonia solution, or Spraymate Tank & Equipment Cleaner.

COMPATIBILITY:

• Compatible with various herbicides, insecticides, and adjuvants. Refer to the compatibility section for specific details.

SURFACTANT ADDITION:

• DO NOT add surfactant, except for Conservation Tillage where the product is tank-mixed with a glyphosate product.
• When needed, add non-ionic surfactant (e.g., Spraymate Activator) or acidifying surfactant LI-700 as per glyphosate product label directions.

TANK MIXTURES:

• FARMALINX 2,4-D 300 Herbicide can be tank-mixed with various herbicides, insecticides, and adjuvants as recommended.
• Follow all label directions, restraints, plant back periods, withholding periods, and safety directions for tank mix products.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Fill the spray tank with clean water and start agitation.
2. Add acidifying surfactant (Bonus or LI-700) through the top mesh screen.
3. Add recommended herbicide additive/insecticide and mix thoroughly.
4. Add FARMALINX 2,4-D 300 Herbicide and mix thoroughly.
5. Add glyphosate product and remaining water.
6. If using Spraymate Activator surfactant, add it near the end of the filling process.
7. Maintain adequate agitation during application, and use the tank mix promptly.
