GROUP C I HERBICIDE

For control of broadleaf weeds in cereals, linseed and grass pastures as specified in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE Table.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Resistant Weeds Warning
Buctril MA Selective Herbicide is a member of the nitrile and phenoxy groups of herbicides. Buctril MA has both the inhibitor of photosynthesis at photosystem II and disruptor of plant cell growth modes of action. For weed resistance management Buctril MA is a Group C and I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Buctril MA 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 Buctril MA or other Group C and I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Bayer CropScience Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Buctril MA to control resistant weeds.

Note
Maximum daily temperatures at or above 20°C at application, or on days following treatment, may result in seedling mortality and established plants may be damaged.

Application
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.
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. Wash the spray equipment thoroughly after use.
Cereals
Apply 50 to 200 litres of water per hectare. A minimum of 160 litres and preferably 200 litres of water per hectare is recommended where the weed infestation is heavy or the crop cover is dense. Complete coverage of weeds is essential.
Linseed
Apply a minimum of 220 litres of water per hectare.
Aerial Application
Apply a minimum of 22 litres of water per hectare. Markers should always move upwind before aircraft passes overhead.
Application by micronaire equipment may give variable results.

Compatibility
This product is physically compatible in the spray tank with one of the following herbicides and insecticides in wheat and barley only: Ally®, chlorpyrifos, dicamba, dimethoate, endosulfan, Hoegrass®, MCPA and omethoate. When mixed with Ally or dicamba, do not apply to cereals undersown with lucerne. When mixed with Hoegrass, do not exceed 1.4 litres of this product per hectare. Observe all instructions on the mixture partner label. As formulations of other manufacturers' products are beyond the control of Bayer CropScience, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Restraints
DO NOT apply if crop, pasture or weeds are stressed due to dry or excessively moist conditions. DO NOT apply to diseased or frost-affected crops or if frosts are imminent. DO NOT apply if rain is expected within three hours.

Critical comments: CROP STAGE: Wheat, Barley, Cereal Rye, Oats and Triticale: 3 leaf to fully tillered stage (Zadok Scale Z13-30) for rates of 750 mL to 1.4 L/ha; 5 leaf to fully tillered stage (Z15-30) for rate of 2.0 L/ha (NSW, Vic, SA, WA, Tas only); or early tillering to fully tillered stage (Z21-30) (Qld only).
* If spraying Black Bindweed when wheat, barley, cereal rye, oats, triticale or linseed is more than 300 mm high, increase spray volume to 200 L/ha.
For optimal control, apply only when the weeds are actively growing.
In the early stages following spraying, temporary wilting of crop and pasture may occur.
Crop scorch may occur, particularly on oats, if treatment is delayed to later stages of growth. Refer to the General Instructions.
Avoid application when maximum daily temperatures above 20°C occur, or are likely to occur for a few days after application.
DO NOT apply to crops or pastures undersown with lucerne, clover or medics unless some damage is acceptable.
