DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Restraint: Do NOT apply under hot, dry conditions.

BROAD BEANS
Weeds: Black Bindweed (Polygonum convolvulus), Blackberry Nightshade (Solanum nigrum), Corn Spurry (Spergula arvensis), Fat Hen (Chenopodium album), Fumitory (Fumaria muralis), Hedge Mustard (Sisymbrium officinale), Shepherd’s Purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris), Wild Radish (Raphanus raphanistrum), Wild Turnip (Brassica rapa campestris)
State: Tas only
Rate/ha: 1 L
WHP: 5 weeks
Critical comments: Apply when weeds are less than two true leaves.
Rate/ha: 2 L
WHP: 5 weeks
Critical comments: Apply when broad bean plants are at the two leaf stage or earlier and weeds are less than 5 cm high.
Rate/ha: 3 L
WHP: 5 weeks
Critical comments: Ensure weeds are less than 5 cm high, and broad bean plants are developed past the two leaf stage.

Critical comments: Sequential applications may be necessary to achieve satisfactory weed control, but no more than two applications should be used and the total rate applied should not exceed 3 L/ha. The addition of a non-ionic surfactant such as Wetspray® 1000 at 125 mL per 100 litres of the spray volume is necessary for optimum weed control.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING
BROADSTAR® Herbicide is a member of the benzothiadiazole group of herbicides. BROADSTAR is a herbicide which inhibits photosynthesis at photosystem II. For weed resistance management BROADSTAR is a Group C herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to BROADSTAR, and other Group C herbicides, may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by BROADSTAR or other Group C herbicides.
Since occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Adama Australia Pty. Ltd. accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of BROADSTAR to control resistant weeds.

APPLICATION
Ground Application: BROADSTAR is a contact herbicide and therefore thorough coverage of the foliage of weeds is essential. To obtain thorough coverage BROADSTAR should be applied through properly calibrated and maintained spray equipment at a volume of 220 to 440 L water per ha and pressure of 240 to 340 kPa.
Coverage will be reduced if weeds are being shaded by the crop or by any other factors such as drift or dusty leaves that prevent the herbicide reaching target leaves. Best results will be obtained when conditions favour rapid growth.
Aerial Application: (Read instructions for Ground Application first)
Apply with aircraft fitted with either conventional boom and nozzles or with Micronair rotary atomizers flying between 3 to 4 metres above the ground. Booms should be fitted with D8 to D12 nozzles and calibrated to apply at least 50 L/ha with overlapping swaths to prevent striping. Micronairs should be calibrated to apply at least 35 L/ha with droplets between 200 to 250 microns and swaths overlapping to prevent striping. Avoid droplets smaller than 200 micron as they are susceptible to evaporation.
Do NOT APPLY under hot and dry conditions. Best results are obtained from late afternoon or early morning spraying.
Do NOT APPLY under strong or gusty wind conditions (more than 5 knots) as striping will occur.
Split Applications: Weeds do not all germinate at once and application should not be delayed to catch later germinations. When late germinations of weeds occur a second application is advisable before the crop canopy closes.
The Effects of Stress and Weather: Application is not recommended to crops suffering from stress induced by drought, water logging, hail damage, frost or injury from other pesticides or crop injury may occur. Such stress conditions may also harden weeds making them more difficult to kill.
BROADSTAR is a water soluble concentration and hot, dry conditions may cause spray to evaporate reducing covering and the performance on weeds. Rain within eight hours of spraying is likely to reduce the effectiveness of BROADSTAR resulting in poor weed control.
Wetting Agent: In Tasmania (only) a non-ionic wetting agent such as Wetspray 1000 at 125 mL per 100 litres of the volume should be added when BROADSTAR is sprayed on Navy (Haricot) Beans and Green (Dwarf French) Beans. In general, the addition of wetter does not improve control of weeds in other areas.
However, with less susceptible weeds or if spray coverage is less than optimum the addition of Wetspray 1000 may improve control.

MIXING
BROADSTAR mixes readily with water. Add the required amount of BROADSTAR to the spray tank when filling and agitate to give even mixing.

COMPATIBILITY
BROADSTAR can be applied after pre-planting application of trifluralin or EPTC.

CROP SAFETY
Green Beans, Navy Beans, Red Kidney Beans, Red Mexican Beans: Beans are tolerant of BROADSTAR after the first two trifoliate leaves are fully expanded. There may be leaf scorch but this will not affect yields.
Do NOT apply unless two trifoliate leaves are present except as per directions for use in Tasmania on green beans or severe damage may result. When used in Tasmania do not apply after flower bud formation.
Peanuts: Apply after the crop is 12 cm high.
Soybeans: Soybeans are tolerant of BROADSTAR at all stages of growth. Mild leaf scorching may occur but will not affect yield.
