THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INCORPORATED INTO THE SOIL WITHIN 4 HOURS OF APPLICATION EXCEPT IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA WHERE THE CROP IS SOWN WITH MINIMUM TILLAGE SOWING EQUIPMENT (FITTED WITH KNIFE POINTS OR BLADES LESS THAN 12mm WIDE, USUALLYWITH PRESSS WHEELS) WHERE APPLICATION MAY OCCUR UP TO 24 HOURS BEFORE INCOPORATION BY THE SOWING PROCESS.

INCORPORATION TABLE
1. Prior to furrowing out: 2 workings at an angle required using Offset or Tandem disc harrows.
2. After furrowing out: 2 workings required using Go-Devil discs or Lillion cultivators set at 10 cm depth.
3. Rotary Hoe: 1 working required at 5-7.5 cm depth. Sugar Cane: 7.5-13 cm depth.
4. Offset or Tandem Disc Harrows: (preferably with spiked harrows in tandem) 2 workings at an angle required at 7.5-15 cm depth at 6.5-10 km per hour.
5. Weighted Heavy Diamond or Stump Jump Harrows - (weighted 20-30 kg per section) at 10-13 km/hr speed. Then cross work with offset or tandem disc harrows set to 7.5-15 cm depth at speed 6.5-10 km per hour.
6. Weighted Heavy Diamond or Stump Jump Harrows (weighted with 20-30 kg per section) at 10-13 km per hour. Cross work with combine at 5-7.5 cm depth at speed of 10-13 km/hr.
7. Disc Ratoon Cultivator: 2 workings needed with discs and cultivator set at 7.5-13 cm depth.
8. Offset or Tandem Disc Harrows: set at 7.5-15 cm depth. A second discing is required working in opposite direction with discs set to throw treated soil into tree or vine row.
9. Rotary Hoe: 1 working needed at 5-10 cm depth.
10. Offset Discs (Bumpers): 2 workings needed at depth of 7.5-13 cm.
11. Incorporation By Sowing (IBS): On a suitable prepared seedbed with heavy diamond harrows trailing or as a separate operation.
12. Post-sowing pre-emergence: Use heavy diamond harrows cross working at right angles to the direction of sowing. DO NOT attempt this method of incorporation on poorly prepared, clumpy or cloddy soils.
13. Incorporation by Sowing (IBS) with knife or blade points. Use press wheels to avoid dragging treated soil back into the seed furrow. Maintain slow to moderate speed to ensure that soil throw is not into adjacent furrows. Note: Knife or blade point systems can result in poor weed control in the seed furrow as chemical displacement from this zone occurs. Stubble coverage above 40-50% ground cover can reduce weed control below acceptable levels. A Knife or blade point is 12mm or less, has no wings, inverted T or blade, and is generally placed on a minimum 8 inch tyne spacing.

MIXING
This product is an emulsifiable concentrate, which mixes readily with water. Add the recommended amount to the spray tank during filing operation and apply 70-450L of water/ ha (broadcast basis) dependent on soil type and stubble coverage level. For minimum tillage/stubble retention seeding systems use of the higher water volumes may reduce the impact of stubble.
Ensure adequate agitation is continued throughout the operation. Leaving the made up spray mixture for long periods of time without agitation is not recommended.
Under hot conditions or where possible spray and incorporate into the soil in one operation.
Delay may cause inferior weed control. Use properly calibrated standard low-pressure (170-340 kPa) boom type sprayer with fan tips.
