GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Before opening, carefully read Directions for Use, Precautionary Statements, Safety Directions and First Aid Instructions. Accensi 2,4-D Amine 700 Dual Selective Herbicide is a water soluble liquid product with non-selective herbicidal activity against broadleaf weeds. Accensi 2,4-D Amine 700 Dual Selective Herbicide will control emerged weeds only and provides no residual control although certain plant back periods should be observed. Accensi 2,4-D Amine 700 Dual Selective Herbicide 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 and 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 occurring up to 6 hours after application may reduce effectiveness.

CROP ESTABLISHMENT

Accensi 2,4-D Amine 700 Dual Selective Herbicide is recommended as a herbicide additive to Accensi Glyphosate 540 Herbicide for control of emerged weeds prior to crop establishment. When Accensi 2,4-D Amine 700 Dual Selective Herbicide is applied prior to crop establishment, certain Plant Back Periods should be observed to ensure that the herbicide has degraded sufficiently to allow safe sowing of the intended crop. This process is largely influenced by moisture, temperature and certain soil characteristics and may be delayed particularly when conditions are cold and dry. Refer to the Plant Back Period table for specific information. In seasons of heavy weed growth, or where the following conditions apply, it may be necessary to further delay sowing until a suitable seedbed can be formed.
Conditions which can delay crop germination and seedling development include:
 Heavy green or decaying weed growth incorporated into the soil;
 Soil compaction or crusting;
 Cold and wet soils;
 Deep seeding;
 Prior use of residual or pre-emergent herbicides. To minimise these effects, it is suggested that:
 Weed bulk be reduced by grazing and cultivating to leave trash on the surface to dry out;
 A friable seedbed be produced by cultivation, where necessary;
 The use of pre-emergent herbicides to be avoided if they might contribute to reduced germination;
 A correct seeding depth be used.
The preferred alternative is to spray early to control any weeds in their less advanced stages and ensure the seedbed is in a suitable condition for early sowing when soil temperatures are not excessively cold.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

BOOM SPRAYING - Use 30-120L/ha of water. AERIAL SPRAYING - Use 10-90L/ha of water.
Fallow use:

GROUND SPRAYER APPLICATION
Application of Accensi 2,4-D Amine 700 Dual Selective Herbicide plus Accensi Glyphosate 540 Herbicide in a minimum spray volume of 50L/ha is recommended. Water rate will vary according to product rate. Refer to Compatibility section for recommended water rates.
When simazine and/or atrazine is included in the mixture a minimum spray volume of 100L/ha is recommended.

AERIAL EQUIPMENT
Application of Accensi 2,4-D Amine 700 Dual Selective Herbicide and glyphosate mixtures using boom equipment should occur in a minimum spray volume of 50L/ha.
Water rate will vary according to product rate. Refer to Compatibility section for recommended water rates.
DO NOT apply by aircraft when temperature is above 35 oC.
DO NOT use in intensive horticultural cropping areas. Thoroughly wash aircraft, especially landing gear after each day of spraying to remove herbicide residues.
