FOR THE CONTROL OF WEEDS AND GRASSES IN SORGHUM, MAIZE, SUGAR CANE, LUCERNE, TT-CANOLA AND FOR FALLOW AREA MAINTENANCE AND OTHER SITUATIONS AS PER THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE TABLE

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
RESTRAINTS
DO NOT apply to waterlogged soil.
DO NOT apply if heavy rains or storms that are likely to cause run-off are forecast within two days of application.
DO NOT irrigate to the point of run-off for at least two days after application.
DO NOT use as a pre-emergence application in Sorghum, Broom Millet or Saccaline during the wet season in the northern irrigation areas of Western Australia.
DO NOT apply product to any drainage line. Drainage lines show evidence of the action of periodically flowing water (for example, gravel, pebble, rock and sand bed, scour hole or nick point) and/or an incised channel at least 30 cm deep.
DO NOT handle, mix, apply or conduct testing operations in areas susceptible to run-off where drainage results in rapid entry into waterways, particularly where no specific and effective action has been taken to prevent run-off into waterways. These areas may include areas mounded perpendicular to the contour, roads, access tracks, snig tracks, and compacted log dumps.
DO NOT use a knapsack sprayer for application in Eucalypts and Pinus radiata plantations.
TT-Canola: DO NOT use or apply this product post-emergence on raised beds or where furrows have been created in soil for the purposes of holding or channelling water.
Soil Moisture
The product requires rainfall or irrigation to move it down through the soil into the weed root zone to make it effective. Sufficient rain or irrigation to thoroughly wet the soil through the weed root zone should occur or be made within 10 days after spraying.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The maximum rate of atrazine application in all crops except plantation forestry will be limited to an amount of product equivalent to 3 kg a.i. atrazine per hectare per year. The maximum rate of application in plantation forestry is an amount of product equivalent to 4.5 kg a.i. atrazine per hectare per year in sandy soils and those defined as highly erodible, and product equivalent to 8 kg a.i. atrazine per hectare per year in clay loam and heavier textured soils. Before opening, carefully read Directions for Use, Precautionary Statements, Safety Directions and First Aid Instructions. This product can be used as a Pre-emergent and Post-emergent herbicide. It acts mainly through root absorption, its effectiveness depends on the occurrence of rainfall or irrigation to move it down into the weed root zone. Duration and effectiveness of control depends on the amount of chemical applied, soil type, rainfall and particular weed species. Established perennial species are not satisfactorily controlled at the rates recommended.

INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FOR TT-CANOLA
An Integrated Weed Management Strategy for TT-Canola (the Strategy) has been developed and funded by the Canola Association of Australia in cooperation with certain companies. The Strategy outlines recommendations, measures and options for weed management, including management of herbicide resistance in weed populations. The Strategy is available from a UPL Australia Limited representative and the Canola Association of Australia. A program has been developed that outlines sound agronomic practices and integrated weed management programs designed to optimise the performance of TT-Canola. It is advised that consultation on IWM be undertaken with an accredited agronomist prior to the use of AtraPhos 900 WG on TT-Canola.
