GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

Mode of Action: Rygel ClearUp 510 Herbicide is a water-soluble liquid herbicide with a non-selective nature, effectively controlling a broad range of emerged annual and perennial weeds. It has no residual activity and becomes inactivated upon contact with the soil.

• Absorption and Translocation: The herbicide is absorbed by plant leaves and green stems, translocating throughout the plant to the root system. It inhibits a plant enzyme, leading to a breakdown in the metabolic pathway and eventual plant death.

• Visible Effects: Gradual wilting, yellowing, and complete plant browning. Effects on annual weeds typically appear in 3 - 7 days and for perennial weeds in 14-21 days. The speed of translocation depends on climatic conditions.

• Optimal Timing: Best results are achieved when plants are sprayed during active growth and are not stressed by factors such as disease, waterlogging, insect damage, or drought. Rainfall shortly after application may require re-treatment.

Crop Establishment: When used to control weeds before establishing a new crop or pasture, ensure a suitable seedbed is present. Sowing can occur one hour after application for a light cover of weeds, while a well-prepared seedbed is necessary for areas with a large amount of dead matter or trash.

MIXING AND APPLICATION:

Boom Equipment:

• Recommended spray volumes of 25 - 100L water/ha with fan nozzles at pressures of 240-280 kPa.
• Boom height must ensure double overlap of nozzle patterns at the top of the weed canopy.

Wiper Equipment:

• Rope wick, canvas, carpet, or felt applicators may be used where weeds are at least 15cm above the crop.
• Operate wiper equipment at least 10cm above the crop.
• Best results with lower speeds of application, not exceeding 8 km/h.
• Double-pass application (two applications in opposite directions) is recommended for optimal results.

Aerial Application:

• Apply a minimum spray volume of 20L/ha for Micronair and boom equipment.
• Droplet size should be 250-350 microns with a swath width of 15-17 meters.
• Aerial application is recommended only in pasture or fallow situations before establishing a new crop or pasture or in pre-harvest sorghum.

APPLICATIONS IN HOT CONDITIONS:

• When the temperature reaches 25°C, increase water volume to at least 30L/ha, and droplet size to at least 300 microns to compensate for additional evaporation.
• Do not use by air in temperatures above 30°C.

AVOID DRIFT:

• Do not apply treatments in conditions likely to cause spray drift, such as winds over 12 km/h, temperature inversion, still air, and hot dry days.
• Not suitable for use in intensive horticultural areas.

SURFACTANT:

• The addition of surfactant may improve weed control, especially at high rates or low product rates.
• Suggested surfactant rates: 200ml/100L of 1000g/L non-ionic surfactant or 250-500ml/100L of 700 g/L surfactant.
• Do not add spraying oils, agricultural chemicals, or any other material unless directed on the label.

MIXING:

• Use clean water, as dirty water or hard water containing calcium salts may reduce the product's effectiveness.

1. Ensure the spray tank is clean.
2. Half-fill the tank with clean water and the required amount of ClearUp 510 Herbicide.
3. Add the rest of the water.
4. Add surfactant last.

COMPATIBILITY:

• Compatible with various herbicides and insecticides. Specific recommendations provided for tank mix situations.
• Additives like ammonium sulfate may be used to alleviate adverse effects of high levels of calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate ions in water.

EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND USAGE:

• Store, mix, or apply only in plastic or plastic-lined, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, or fiberglass containers.
• Reacts with galvanized steel and unlined steel, forming hydrogen gas, which may cause an explosion if ignited by an open flame.
• Thoroughly wash all application equipment, including tanks, nozzles, hoses, aircraft, and landing gear, after use to prevent corrosion.
