GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

CROP SAFETY
Chickpeas
Application of Counter Weight 750 WG Herbicide PSPE to chickpeas planted in sandy or gravelly soils, or soils low in clay or organic matter may result in crop damage. Heavy rains after the application of Counter Weight 750 WG Herbicide may cause crop damage, particularly in sandy or gravelly soils. Application of Counter Weight 750 WG Herbicide + simazine in sandy or gravelly soils may result in severe crop damage.
Varietal Tolerance
Counter Weight 750 WG Herbicide is not recommended for use with the chickpea variety Yorker. Application of Counter Weight 750 WG Herbicide post-sowing pre-emergence to crops of Yorker variety chickpeas can result in unacceptable crop damage and may result in yield loss.

Crop rotation recommendations
Counter Weight 750 WG Herbicide may be applied to chickpea crops where the following crop will be chickpeas, or where the land will be left fallow. The following re-cropping instructions apply to following crops other than chickpeas.
 Prolonged dry periods or cold conditions may result in extended re-cropping intervals, even if rainfall exceeds the required amount (listed in the table below). If in doubt, contact your local Agritrading representative.
 Heavy rainfall after an extended dry period may result in the reactivation of Counter Weight 750 WG Herbicide. This can lead to transient bleaching or crop stunting.
 Use on soils with a pH less than 7.0 has not been extensively tested, and may result in extended re-cropping intervals.
 Cultivation is recommended prior to re-cropping.
 Minimum re-cropping intervals apply for all crops following Counter Weight 750 WG Herbicide application. For advice on crops not listed below contact Agritrading Pty Ltd.

APPLICATION

Sugarcane: Apply in a minimum spray volume of 250 L/ha. For best results flat fan nozzles are recommended. Select the lowest pressure (within the recommended nozzle operating range), to reduce drift. Use a nozzle size that delivers a medium to coarse droplet at the selected operating pressure.
Counter Weight 750 WG Herbicide can be applied to hot and dry soils, without the risk of breakdown by sunlight. This ultraviolet stability removes the need for immediate soil incorporation of the product. Counter Weight 750 WG Herbicide is activated by rainfall or irrigation, which is required to carry the herbicide into the root zone of the germinating weeds.
Deep germinating weeds (e.g. Wild Radish) may not be adequately controlled in years where rainfall is low (<15 mm).
Weed escapes may occur after spraying Counter Weight 750 WG Herbicide if weed germination occurs before the chemical is activated OR carried to the depth of the weed root zone. Under prolonged dry conditions a greater quantity of rainfall or irrigation may be required for effective activation of the product. Under these conditions, shoots of germinating weeds may intercept the Counter Weight 750 WG Herbicide band and appear affected, but may not be controlled. Weeds that do not turn completely white within days of emergence must be sprayed with an appropriate knockdown herbicide. To avoid weed escapes, it is recommended to allow weeds to germinate, and then apply Counter Weight 750 WG
Herbicide in tank mixture with paraquat at an appropriate label rate to provide additional weed knockdown.
Soil movement from irrigation or cultivation may result in poor weed control from Counter Weight 750 WG Herbicide. DO NOT incorporate Counter Weight 750 WG Herbicide by flood irrigation or with high-pressure water cannons if excessive soil movement is expected, particularly if the soil is in a loose, dry condition. Best results are achieved where rainfall or low pressure overhead irrigation carries the herbicide downward in an even band to the depth of the weed root zone.
