GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Before opening, carefully read Directions for Use, Precautionary and Protection Statements, Storage and Disposal, Safety Directions, and First Aid Instructions.

MIXING

To ensure even mixing, half fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required amount of product. Agitate thoroughly then add the remainder of the water. Agitate again before spraying commences.

APPLICATION

DO NOT use raindrop or air-induction nozzles as coverage of weeds may not be adequate.

Boom Sprayer

Calibrate the machine before use to ensure that the correct application rate is obtained. Check height of boom above the crop to ensure that the spray is evenly distributed.

• Cereals: Apply 50-200 L of water per hectare. Use higher water volume (min. 100L/ha) where the weed infestation is heavy, the crop cover is dense or when tank-mixing with diclofop methyl. Complete coverage of weeds is essential.

• Linseed: Apply a minimum of 220 L of water per hectare.

• Turf: Apply a minimum of 500 L of water per hectare.

Aircraft (NSW, Vic, SA only)

Apply in a minimum of 22 L water per hectare or 30 L if tank mixing with diclofop methyl. Markers should always move upwind before aircraft passes overhead. Application by micronair equipment may give variable results.

EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE

After use wash application equipment thoroughly with Spraymate Tank and Equipment Cleaner and rinse several times.

COMPATIBILITY

This product is physically compatible in the spray tank with one of the following herbicides or insecticides in wheat and barley only:

• Metsulfuron methyl (600g/L)

• Diclofop-methyl (500g/L)

• Dicamba (500g/L)

• MCPA

• Dimethoate

• Omethoate or Chlorpyrifos.

Resistance Warning:

Bropac Herbicide is a member of both the nitriles and the phenoxys groups of herbicides. Bropac Herbicide has both the inhibitors of photosynthesis at photosystem II and disruptors of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management, Bropac Herbicide is both a Group C and a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Bropac Herbicide and other Group C and I 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 Bropac Herbicide or other Group C or Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Shandong Rainbow International Co., Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Bropac Herbicide to control resistant weeds.

Precautions: GRAZING PRECAUTION

Sprayed weeds may become more palatable to stock and a higher intake of some weeds may result in stock poisoning and death from causes such as nitrate poisoning. Care should be taken especially where capeweed, Paterson’s curse, and variegated thistles predominate in the pasture. Avoid grazing with young or breeding stock. DO NOT graze horses or pigs on Paterson’s curse. If in doubt, contact your nearest Department of Agriculture.
