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

• Apply Apparent Blaze Herbicide to fallow prior to the planting of various crops as outlined in the Follow Crops table.
• Apparent Blaze Herbicide is a pre-emergence herbicide, which is recommended to provide short term (6 to 12 weeks) pre-emergence 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.
• Apparent Blaze Herbicide should be applied to plant or ratoon cane before the cane has emerged.
• When applying Apparent Blaze Herbicide in moist conditions, allow weeds to germinate prior to application and apply mixed with an appropriate knockdown herbicide.
• Whenever emerged weeds are present, Apparent Blaze Herbicide should be mixed with an appropriate knockdown herbicide.

Post-emergence

• Apparent Blaze Herbicide 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:

• Apparent Blaze Herbicide 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 Apparent Blaze Herbicide can be limited when applied onto soils with pH <5.0 and/or which contain high concentrations of iron (Fe) and/or aluminium (Al).
• These situations are common in soil types such as Krasnozems and red brown Ferrosols.

MIXING

• Apparent Blaze Herbicide 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 Apparent Blaze Herbicide to the tank.
• No adjuvants or surfactants are required when Apparent Blaze Herbicide is used alone for preemergence weed control or with paraquat.
• DO NOT add crop oil when applied post-emergence with paraquat.

APPLICATION

• DO NOT apply by aircraft.
• Fallow application: Apply with boom equipment in not less than 50 L/ha water using flat fan nozzles.
• Avoid overlap and do not overspray headlands.
• Sugarcane:
• Ensure thorough coverage of soil and weeds with well-calibrated spray equipment.
• Apply in a minimum of 200 L water/ha using a nozzle configuration to generate a medium to coarse spray pattern for pre-emergence applications or medium spray pattern for post-emergence applications.
• Replace worn or old nozzles and calibrate equipment on a regular basis.
• Peanuts:
• Apply with boom equipment in not less than 50 L/ha water using flat fan nozzles.
• Avoid overlap and do not overspray headlands.
• For post-emergence applications, Apparent Blaze Herbicide should be applied a minimum of 2 hours before rainfall.

EQUIPMENT CLEAN-UP

• Thoroughly flush all spray equipment with water following the use of Apparent Blaze Herbicide and before use with other products.
