Use lower rate quoted on light soils and increase up to the higher rate for heavy clay soils, or soils high in organic matter.

CARROTS, PARSNIPS
Weed: Group A & Group B above
Weed stage: Pre-emergence
State: All States
Rate / ha: 3.9 to 5 L
Critical comments: Do not use on pure sandy soils. Lower rate generally sufficient, except on heavy clay soils high in organic
matter. Apply 1 to 2 days after sowing. Use lower rate quoted on light soils and increase up to the higher rate for heavy clay soils, or soils high in organic matter.

CARROTS
Weed: Group A & Group B above
Weed stage: 2 to 4 true leaf up to 7 cm
State: All States
Rate / ha: 1.2 to 2.4 L
Critical comments: Do not apply before carrots are in 2 to 3 true leaf stage, or if temperature is above 30 C. Use lower rate
quoted on light soils and increase up to the higher rate for heavy clay soils, or soils high in organic matter.

ONIONS
Weed: Group A & Group B above
Weed stage: 2 to 3 true leaves
State: All States
Rate / ha: 330 mL to 600 mL
Critical comments: Apply after onions are 15 cm high, with at least 3 leaves. Repeat as necessary. Use lower rate quoted on light soils and increase up to the higher rate for heavy clay soils, or soils high in organic matter.

Rate / ha:
Light Soils: 1.1 to 2.5 L
Heavy Soils: 2.5 to 5 L

Weed: Barnyard and Summer Grass

Rate / ha:
Light Soils: 4.0 L

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Afalon Herbicide contains 450 g/L Linuron. Afalon can be applied pre- and post-emergence to control certain annual grasses, broadleaved weeds and some seedling perennial weeds in cereal, potatoes, carrots, parsnips, coriander, onions, soybeans, maize and sweet corn. Afalon is a selective systemic herbicide, absorbed principally by the roots but also by the foliage, with translocation primarily acropetally in the xylem. Read the Directions for Use before using this product.
Shake well before opening.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING
Afalon Herbicide is a member of the Urea-group of herbicides. This product has the photosynthesis inhibitor mode of action. For weed resistance management Afalon is a Group C Herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Linuron and other Group C 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 Afalon or other Group C herbicides. However, resistance should not be assumed without first viewing the method of application, the coverage and the timing of application. Resistance to Linuron cannot be predicted and may occur at any time. It is not due to a fault in the product and Adama Australia Pty. Ltd. accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Afalon to control resistant weeds.

APPLICATION
Shake well before use. Fill the spray tank with water to three quarters of the required volume, then pour Afalon into the tank with the agitation system running. Top up to required volume with water while still agitating. If combining with Rhino, add Afalon last. Ensure good agitation to give continuous suspension of Afalon. After use flush out system with clean water and wash nozzles and filters.
BOOM SPRAYS: Use approximately 80 L-110 L water per hectare (ha).
AIRCRAFT: Use 20 L-30 L water per hectare (ha).
Do not exaggerate swath width.

COMPATIBILITY
LINUREX FLOWABLE may be mixed with Rhino where recommended.
DO NOT add wetting agent
