GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING
AC Menace 960 Herbicide is a member of the amide group of herbicides with diverse sites of action. For weed resistance management AC Menace 960 Herbicide is a Group K Herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to AC Menace 960 Herbicide and other Group K 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 AC Menace 960 Herbicide or Group K other herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Axichem Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of AC Menace 960 Herbicide to control resistant weeds.

Advice as to strategies and alternative treatments that can be used should be obtained from your local supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, Primary Industries Department or Axichem Pty Ltd.

USES
The product is a short residual, pre-emergent herbicide for the control of many important annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in the crops nominated. The product does not control the important broadleaf weeds in maize, sweet corn and Concep* II treated Sorghum, but when mixed with Flowable Atrazine controls of many important annual weeds and grasses is obtained without the problem of carryover of herbicides affecting succeeding crops. The product acts mainly through shoot (coleoptile) absorption. Its effectiveness depends on the occurrence of rainfall or irrigation to move it down into the top 3 to 4cm of soil, where it must be present at the time of weed germination.

MIXING
Add the required amount directly to the spray tank, fill with water and mix well.

COMPATIBILITY
AC Menace 960 Herbicide is compatible with Ametryn 500, Atrazine, Prometryn 500, Triasulfuron, Paraquat and Glyphosate.

Warning — Cotton: Heavy rain following an application of AC Menace 960 Herbicide, together with below average soil temperatures, can result in crop injury, due to the inability of the germinating plant being able to metabolize the herbicide. AC Menace 960 Herbicide should not be used in situations where these conditions are likely to occur.

Warning — Brassica crops: Crop retardation may occur where AC Menace 960 Herbicide is used on soils that have a low organic matter content and which contain more than 60% of fine sand and silt and less than 5% clay in the top 30cm. On these soil types, use rates of AC Menace 960 Herbicide towards the lower end of the rate range and apply onto moist soil. Irrigation after application should be limited to no more than 25mm.

Zero-tillage (Canola, Barley, Oats, Wheat. Triticale): When sowing using knife points and zero-tillage and leaving a seeding slot.
DO NOT apply post-seeding unless harrows (or similar) have tilled-in the seeding slot before application.
Alternatively, apply AC Menace 960 Herbicide immediately before sowing, DO NOT USE ON SOILS CONTAINING LESS THAN 5% CLAY IN THE TOP 30cm. DO NOT USE MORE THAN ONCE PER YEAR.

PROTECTION OF CROPS NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS
DO NOT plant crops other than maize, sweet corn, tobacco, cotton, soybeans, sunflowers, peanuts, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbages, cauliflowers or Concep II treated Sorghum within 6 months of application of AC Menace 960 Herbicide.

DRIFT WARNING
DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures.

PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK
DO NOT graze or cut sweet potato leaves for stock food.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT
DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. DO NOT apply under meteorological conditions or from spraying equipment which could be expected to cause spray to drift onto adjacent areas, particularly wetlands, water bodies or watercourses.

RE-ENTRY PERIOD
DO NOT enter treated area until spray has dried.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Store in the closed, original container in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Triple rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on-site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush, or puncture and deliver empty packaging to an approved waste management facility. If an approved management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose, clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant local, state or territory government regulations. Do not burn empty.
