GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

MIXING PRIORITY® Herbicide is a suspension concentrate formulation. Ensure that PRIORITY has completely resuspended before measuring to mix.

APPLICATION Apply PRIORITY® Herbicide using an accurately calibrated spray rig in a water volume of 80-100 L/ha for application by ground boom and not less than 30 L/ha by aerial application.

COMPATIBILITY For information on compatibility, please contact ADAMA Australia.

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT After using PRIORITY Herbicide, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose, drain the tank and clean any tank, pump, line and nozzle filters.

Partial Cleaning (Rinse only) – before using rig to spray barley, triticale and wheat: After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, line, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat procedure twice.

Complete Cleaning (Decontamination) – before using rig to spray crops that are susceptible to PRIORITY® Herbicide: Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and their roots and watercourses.

CROP SAFETY Cereals: Barley and oats are typically less tolerant than wheat. 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 (waterlogging or drought), nutritional stress, root disease, following frosts or previous herbicide treatment. Only apply PRIORITY at the recommended crop growth stages as per the guidelines in Table 3. Tank mixtures with other herbicides may result in additional phytotoxicity. Prior to applying PRIORITY, ensure the label of the tank mix partner is reviewed to ensure both PRIORITY and tank mix partner label recommendations are observed. Warning (oats): The tolerance of all oat varieties to PRIORITY has not been tested. Test a small area of crop before using PRIORITY tank mixtures over large areas of the varieties with which you don’t have experience. Consult your local ADAMA Australia representative for advice on specific varieties. Established Ryegrass Pastures: Ryegrass is genetically diverse and not all cultivars have been tested for tolerance to PRIORITY or PRIORITY plus LVE MCPA 570. Test a small area of crop before using PRIORITY tank mixtures over large areas of the varieties with which you don’t have experience. Ryegrass pasture growth is typically unaffected following PRIORITY® application to established stands. However, minor, transient chlorosis and growth retardation may result. Applying PRIORITY to pastures that are stressed, regardless of the cause, increases the risk of slowing pasture growth. Conversely, actively growing, healthy pastures are more likely to recover quickly following herbicide application, even if initial symptoms are apparent.

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. Note: Chlorine –based cleaners are NOT recommended. 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.
