GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

4Farmers Carfentrazone 240 EC Herbicide is an emulsifiable concentrate formulation and is to be mixed with water and applied as per the labelled Directions for Use. 4Farmers Carfentrazone 240 EC Herbicide is a post-emergence herbicide to be added to knockdown herbicide to improve the control of certain broadleaf weeds including marshmallow prior to the establishment of fallows, winter and summer broadacre crops, marshmallow control in grass pastures, in commercial, industrial and public service areas, and around agricultural buildings, yards and other farm situations. 4Farmers Carfentrazone 240 EC Herbicide can be used alone with a suitable adjuvant for control of volunteer cotton seedlings including Roundup Ready cotton. It can also be used for desiccation of regrowth in cotton. 4Farmers Carfentrazone 240 EC Herbicide is a fast acting herbicide and aids in control of weeds through a process of membrane disruption. The foliar uptake of 4Farmers Carfentrazone 240 EC Herbicide is rapid and plant desiccation can occur within 4 days of application. Application of 4Farmers Carfentrazone 240 EC Herbicide should target small actively growing weeds. Subsequent germination will not be controlled.

TIMING

Pre-crop, Volunteer cotton and Marshmallow in grass pastures Application should be made to small, actively growing weeds less than 6 to 8 leaf in stage. As 4Farmers Carfentrazone 240 EC Herbicide is a contact herbicide, best control is achieved when weeds are exposed and are not shielded by other weeds and or stubble.

Cotton

If cotton re-growth occurs after the initial defoliation programme, apply 4Farmers Carfentrazone 240 EC Herbicide to desiccate re-growth prior to harvest.

MIXING

Add half the required volume of water to spray tank and start agitation. Add any partner SC or WG herbicide next if it should be added before an EC or knockdown herbicide. Add the measured amount of 4Farmers Carfentrazone 240 EC Herbicide next, followed by the knockdown herbicide (if required). Add balance of water to tank and add any adjuvant or additive if recommended for use with the knockdown herbicide or for use in grapevines or as suggested in Critical Comments. Maintain good agitation at all times until spraying is completed. DO NOT store spray mixture overnight.

APPLICATION

DO NOT apply by aerial except for cotton desiccation.

Ground sprayers Pre-crop Volunteer cotton and Marshmallow in grass pastures Apply 4Farmers Carfentrazone 240 EC Herbicide as a broadcast application using a conventional boom sprayer with either mechanical or by-pass agitation. Use single orifice flat fan nozzles such as Spraying System TeeJet 11001, 110015, 11002 or equivalent sizes from other manufactures or Spraying Systems TwinJet twin flat spray tips, TJ60-11002, TJ60-11003 or TJ60-11004 or equivalent sizes from other manufacturers. Do not use 110-03 or bigger single orifice nozzles or TJ11006 or bigger twin orifice nozzles with 4Farmers Carfentrazone 240 EC Herbicide. Do not use floodjet, low drift or air induction nozzles, boomless jets or misters or controlled droplet application equipment. Spray equipment should be properly calibrated to ensure correct and uniform application. Use a spray volume of 50 to 150 litres per hectare (minimum 80 L/ ha for volunteer cotton). Experience has shown that increasing spray volumes can improve weed control. Use the lowest pressure and boom height which provides uniform coverage. Use the higher volume if weed infestation is heavy and/or tall. The best application conditions are when soil is moist, weather fine and rain unlikely within one hour or as specified for the knockdown herbicide. Extremes in environmental conditions, eg temperature and moisture, soil conditions and/or cultural practices may affect the activity of 4Farmers Carfentrazone 240 EC Herbicide. Under warm moist conditions herbicide symptoms may be accelerated. While under very dry conditions, the expression of herbicidal symptoms may be delayed, and weeds hardened off by drought are less susceptible to 4Farmers Carfentrazone 240 EC Herbicide.

Cotton

When desiccation cotton regrowth, use sufficient water to obtain complete coverage of all leaves, ie. at least 100 litres of water per hectare. Good coverage should be obtained with three or more nozzles per row depending upon crop height and canopy density.

Knapsack, Pneumatic, Handgun sprayers

Apply 4Farmers Carfentrazone 240 EC Herbicide at the recommended rate of 1 mL per 10 litres (10 mL per 100 litres) in conjunction with labelled handgun rates of a knockdown herbicide in sufficient water to adequately and uniformly wet the foliage of the weeds being sprayed. A spray volume of 500 L to 1000 L will usually be sufficient but higher volumes may be required for dense taller vegetation.

Aerial Application (for Cotton Desiccation only)

Apply by fixed wing aircraft in a minimum of 30 L/ha water and ensure through coverage. Do not exaggerate swath width.
