GROUP K HERBICIDE

For the control of certain annual grasses  and broadleaf weeds in certain crops as per the Directions for Use table.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

BARLEY, OATS
Weeds controlled: Suppression of Annual RyegrassState: NSW, ACT, Vic, Tas, SA, WA only
Rate: 565 mL to 750 mL per ha
Critical comments: Apply to moist soils immediately after planting and before crop and weeds emerge. Use the lower rate on light soils. Application should be made to a moist seed bed and sufficient rain to thoroughly wet the top 3 to 4 cm of soil should occur within 10 days after spraying.
Damage may occur if crop is sown too shallow (less than 4 cm). Damage can occur on light sandy soil types after heavy rain. See General Instructions for use in zero-tillage systems.

BARLEY, OATS, TRITICALE, WHEAT
Weeds controlled: Toad Rush
State:
NSW, ACT, Vic, Tas, SA, WA only
Rate: 225 to 375 mL per ha
Critical comments: Apply at or immediately after planting and before crop and weeds emerge. Application should be made to a moist seed bed and sufficient rain to thoroughly wet the top 3 to 4 cm of soil should occur within 10 days after spraying. Use rates towards the higher end of the range in wet areas or when longer residual control is required or in situations where crop competition is minimal. When mixed with Lonestar® 750 (Triasulfuron 750) apply pre-sowing and incorporate by sowing operation (for Wheat only).

Rate: 2.175 to 2.7 plus 3.6 to 4.5 L Farmozine 500 Flowable or 2 to 2.5 kg of Farmozine 900 WDG

Critical comments: Apply as a pre or post-emergence application to crop.
Apply once per year only. Application should be made to a moist soil before weeds and grasses have germinated. If conditions remain dry for a period of 10 days after spraying, irrigation or a shallow cultivation (2.5 cm) may assist results. DO NOT throw untreated soil on to treated areas as this will reduce weed control.
In Southern Queensland, use rates toward the higher end of the range on heavy soils where a high grass population is expected. In Northern Queensland, application must be made to moist soil and rainfall or irrigation should occur within 24 hours of application. Use rates toward the higher end of the range where high Green Summer Grass population is expected.
Where broadleaf weeds and grasses have emerged and are in the 2 to 4 true leaf stage, knockdown herbicides such as Primatol† Z (2 L/ha), a flowable diuron (500 g/L) at 1 L/ha or Spraytop 250 SL (1.2 to 1.6 L/ha), applied as a post directed spray, can be added.
Where broadleaf weeds only have emerged and are at the 2 to 4 true leaf stage then a 500 g/L 2,4-D amine at 2 L/ha should be added.
In all cases add a non-ionic surfactant.
Follow all instructions and restrictions on the Farmozine labels.

SWEET POTATOES
Weeds controlled: Black Pigweed, Red Shank, Potato Weed, Barnyard Grass, Crowsfoot Grass, Liverseed Grass, Lovegrasses, Pigeon Grass, Summer Grass, suppression of Evening Primrose
State:
Qld, NSW, ACT, Vic, SA, NT only
Rate: 2.25 litres per ha
Critical comments: Pre-emergence: Apply immediately after transplanting before weeds have germinated. Sufficient irrigation to wet the soil through the weed zone should be applied within 24 hours. Further weed germination may occur following rehilling due to exposure of untreated soil.

TOBACCO
(transplanted in field)
Weeds controlled: Barnyard Grass, Lovegrass, Pigeon Grass, Summer Grass and suppression of Common Thornapple (Datura stramonium) and Nightshades (Solanum sarrachoides and S. gigrum)
State:
NSW, Vic only
Rate: 2.25 litres per ha
Critical comments: Apply by low volume boom spray prior to transplanting and before weeds and grasses germinate. The seed bed should be fine and free of large clods. Thoroughly incorporate within 7 days of spraying using a rotary hoe or similar equipment set to work to a depth of 7.5 cm.
DO NOT use disc cultivating implements. An even coverage of the herbicide is essential. The herbicide needs to be activated by moisture through to the top 3 to 4 cm of soil at the time of application or within 4 days of incorporation. This can be achieved by applying to moist soil, irrigating soon after incorporation or irrigating immediately after transplanting. Avoid boom overlaps as double treatment may cause growth suppression. Temporary crop retardation may be observed when soil conditions remain dry after application or where Black Root Rot may occur.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING
CLINCHER® Plus Herbicide is a member of the amide group of herbicides with diverse sites of action. For weed resistance management CLINCHER Plus is a Group K Herbicide.
Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to CLINCHER Plus and other Group K 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 CLINCHER Plus or Group K other herbicides.
Since the 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 CLINCHER Plus to control resistant weeds. Advice as to strategies and alternative treatments that can be used should be obtained from your local supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, Primary Industries Department or a Adama representative.

USES
The product is a short residual, pre-emergent herbicide for the control of many important annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in the crops nominated. The product does not control the important broadleaf weeds in Maize, Sweet Corn and Concep† II treated Sorghum, but when mixed with Flowable Atrazine control of many important annual weeds and grasses is obtained without the problem of carryover of herbicides affecting succeeding crops. The product acts mainly through shoot (coleoptile) absorption. Its effectiveness depends on the occurrence of rainfall or irrigation to move it down into the top 3 to 4 cm of soil, where it must be present at the time of weed germination.

Application
Ground application: Apply in a minimum 60 L/ha of water.
DO NOT apply by aircraft.

MIXING
Add the required amount directly to the spray tank, fill with water and mix well.

COMPATIBILITY
CLINCHER Plus is compatible with Cotogard SC, Cotoran SC, Farmozine 500, Prometryn 500 Flowable, Lonestar (Triasulfuron), Spraytop 250 SL and Wipe-Out (glyphosate).
WARNING – Cotton: DO NOT use when planting into dry soil or soil with marginal moisture. Under dry planting conditions heavy rain or flood irrigation soon after planting, together with below average soil temperatures, can result in crop injury due to the inability of the germinating seedling to metabolise above normal amounts of the herbicide that may accumulate in the root zone as a result of accelerated capillary movement. CLINCHER PLUS should not be used in situations where the conditions are likely to occur.
WARNING – Brassica crops: Crop retardation may occur where CLINCHER Plus is used on soils that have a low organic matter content and which contain more than 60% of fine sand and silt and less than 5% clay in the top 30 cm. On these soil types, use rates of CLINCHER Plus towards the lower end of the rate range and apply onto moist soil. Irrigation after application should be limited to no more than 25 mm.
Zero-tillage (Canola, Barley, Oats, Wheat, Triticale): When sowing using knife points and zero-tillage and leaving a seeding slot, DO NOT apply post-seeding unless harrows (or similar) have tilled-in the seeding slot before application. Alternatively, apply CLINCHER Plus immediately before sowing.
DO NOT USE ON SOILS CONTAINING LESS THAN 5% CLAY IN THE TOP 30 cm.
DO NOT use more than once per year.
