GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

Nufarm Biffo - Overview:

• Nufarm Biffo is a non-volatile herbicide with non-selective activity against many annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and grasses.
• It is absorbed by plant foliage and green stems, killing the contacted part of a green plant.
• No residual weed control is provided.
• Visible control symptoms appear in 3 to 7 days, with complete desiccation taking 20 to 30 days under cool conditions.

Crop Safety:

• Soil Fumigation/Sterilization: Nufarm Biffo is metabolized by soil microorganisms and may cause damage if applied with soil fumigation or sterilization.
• Plastic Mulches: Exercise caution when applying over plastic mulches to avoid crop damage upon contact.

Mixing:

• Mixes easily with water. Use clean water for mixing.
• Clean the spray tank of residues from previous materials.
• Fill two-thirds of the tank with water, add Nufarm Biffo with agitator operating, then add other compatible products.
• Top up the tank with clean water with the agitator running.

Tank Mixtures - Additives:

• Nufarm Liase (417 g/L ammonium sulfate liquid) can be used as an adjuvant to alleviate adverse effects of high calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate ions in water.

Application:

• Summer fallows and XtendFlex cotton:

  • Apply via ground spraying equipment for thorough and even coverage.
  • Application volume of at least 100 L/ha through nozzles delivering a MEDIUM or COARSE spray droplet is recommended.
  • Special care for application in XtendFlex cotton to ensure even distribution of spray across the furrow.

• Sugarcane:

  • Apply inter-row with directed or shielded/hooded nozzle application.
  • Application volume of 300 to 500 L/ha is recommended for good results.

• Orchards, plantations, vineyards, other row crops, commercial, industrial, non-food crops, non-agricultural areas, and forestry plantations:

  • Apply via ground spraying equipment for thorough and even coverage.
  • Application volume of 300 to 500 L/ha has given good results.
  • Exercise caution when using sprayer/slasher combination units to avoid dust and turbulence.

• Boom or Directed Sprayer Equipment:

  • Apply at label rates in sufficient water for thorough coverage.
  • Application volume of 300 to 500 L/ha is recommended.

• Knapsack and Handgun Equipment:

  • Apply at label rates with adequate water to wet the weeds.
  • Application volume of 500 to 1000 L/ha is recommended.

• Controlled Droplet Application (CDA) Equipment:

  • Nufarm Biffo may be applied through CDA row spraying equipment.
  • Apply when weeds are less than 15cm in height.
  • Total spray volume of 20 to 30 L/ha is recommended.
  • Note: DO NOT mix residual herbicides or any spray adjuvants with Nufarm Biffo® when using CDA equipment.

Sprayer Clean-Up:

• Clean all equipment after use by thoroughly flushing with water.

Warning:

• Take particular care when using Nufarm Biffo through CDA equipment to avoid contact of the spray solution with any part of the crop trunk or canopy.
• DO NOT apply Nufarm Biffo through equipment fitted with bristle skirts.
• Exercise caution when using CDA equipment around green or uncalloused bark or exposed roots.
• Refer to "PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS."
• CDA equipment must not be used for application in cherry orchards.
