GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Affinity Force Herbicide is an early post-emergence herbicide for the control of certain broadleaf weeds in winter cereals and pyrethrum. Affinity Force is a fast acting contact herbicide and controls weeds through a process of membrane disruption. The foliar uptake of Affinity Force is rapid and plant desiccation can occur within 1 to 4 days of application. Application of Affinity Force should target small actively growing weeds. Subsequent germinations will not be controlled. Affinity Force should always be tank mixed with MCPA amine in winter cereals.

SYMPTOMS

Affinity Force is rapidly absorbed through the foliage of plants. Within a few hours following application, the foliage of susceptible weeds show signs of desiccation, and in subsequent days necrosis and death of the plant. Due to environmental conditions and certain spray tank additives, some herbicidal symptoms may appear on the crop in the form of leaf spotting. However, the crop recovers quickly, usually within two to three weeks of treatment.
Extremes in environmental conditions eg. temperature and moisture, soil conditions and/or cultural practices may affect the activity of Affinity Force. Under warm moist conditions, herbicide symptoms may be accelerated. While under very dry conditions, the expression of herbicidal symptoms is delayed, and weeds hardened off by drought are less susceptible to Affinity Force.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Restraints:
DO NOT tank mix Affinity Force with any wetter, crop oil concentrates or blended oil/surfactant adjuvants (See compatibility section).
DO NOT tank mix MCPA LVE with Affinity Force.
DO NOT tank mix Affinity Force treatments with selective grass herbicides.
DO NOT apply the tank mix of Affinity Force + MCPA amine before the three leaf crop stage of cereals.
DO NOT apply to cereals under sown with legumes.
DO NOT apply Affinity Force to winter cereals by aircraft.
