For the pre-emergent control of certain annual grass and broadleaf weeds in fallow situations, sugarcane and peanuts and early post-emergence control of certain annual grass and broadleaf weeds in peanuts and sugarcane.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
All Applications Reduce the incidence of "fines" by using the correct nozzles and operating pressures. Replace worn or old nozzles and calibrate equipment on a regular basis.

Fallow Application
Brimstone can be applied in fallow prior to the planting of various crops as outlined in the Follow Crops Table. Brimstone is a pre-emergence herbicide, which is recommended to provide short term (6 to 12 weeks) preemergence control of summer germinating grasses and broadleaved weeds in cultivated or uncultivated fallow. A green weed cover of greater than 50% will significantly reduce the length of pre-emergence weed control.

Sugarcane Application
Pre-emergence
Where possible, apply to soil two days prior to incorporation. Incorporate with adequate irrigation or rainfall to a minimum depth of 5 cm. Incorporation by flood irrigation may result in loss of weed control. Brimstone should be applied to plant or ratoon cane before the cane has emerged. When applying Brimstone in moist conditions, allow weeds to germinate prior to application and apply mixed with an appropriate knockdown herbicide. Whenever emerged weeds are present, Brimstone should be mixed with an appropriate knockdown herbicide.
Post-emergence
Brimstone MUST always be mixed with registered rates of paraquat and applied as a carefully directed inter-row spray to weeds and at the base of the sugarcane stalks, minimising spray contact with sugarcane foliage. DO NOT add crop oil to this mixture. Other surfactant or adjuvant is not required.

Peanut Application
Pre-emergence
Apply to soil and incorporate with adequate irrigation or rainfall to a minimum depth of 5 cm.
Post-emergence
Brimstone must always be mixed with an adjuvant as directed in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE section of the label
Soil Type
Pre-emergence weed control with Brimstone can be limited when applied onto soils with pH <5.0 and/or which contain high concentrations of iron (Fe) and/or aluminium (AI). These situations are common in soil types such as Krasnozems and red brown Ferrosols.

MIXING
Brimstone is an aqueous solution. Part fill the spray tank with water, then with agitator running, add the required amount of product, then fill the tank with water. When tank mixing this product with other recommended compatible products, first add the other product to the tank and mix thoroughly before adding this product. For post-emergence applications in peanuts, add adjuvant after the addition of Brimstone to the tank. No adjuvants or surfactants are required when Brimstone is used alone for pre-emergence weed control or with paraquat. DO NOT add crop oil when applied post-emergence with paraquat.

COMPATIBILITY
Brimstone is compatible with pendimethalin, atrazine, glyphosate, paraquat, paraquat+ diquat, metsulfuron methyl, triclopyr 600, Touchdown* and 2,4-D. It is NOT compatible with dicamba.
