GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

4Farmers Cyanazine 900 WDG Herbicide is a water dispersible granular herbicide, which controls a range of broadleaf and grass seedlings as they emerge. It will also control very young weeds (up to 3cm) that are present at time of application. It is effective through root uptake from soil as well as foliar uptake. 4Farmers Cyanazine 900 WDG Herbicide has a relatively short persistence in the soil and as a consequence is unlikely to cause damage to susceptible crops following in the rotation. Do NOT apply 4Farmers Cyanazine 900 WDG Herbicide to soils with a high sand or gravel content e.g. sand or sandy loam soils. 4Farmers Cyanazine 900 WDG Herbicide is not recommended for use on the Mallee soils of Victoria and South Australia. The activity of 4Farmers Cyanazine 900 WDG Herbicide may be reduced in soils of a very high organic matter or clay content. 4Farmers Cyanazine 900 WDG Herbicide may be used in conventional sowing or in direct drill and retained stubble situations. For best results, weeds should be young and actively growing. The smaller the weed, the more effective the treatment.Where possible, the seedbed should be free of weeds and large clods. Best results are obtained if irrigation is applied immediately after spraying. Under dry conditions there is no root uptake and results, especially against grass weeds and wireweed, may be poor. Pre-planting applications of 4Farmers Cyanazine 900 WDG Herbicide should preferably be made IMMEDIATELY prior to planting to ensure maximum residual control. Effective weed control may last from 4-10 weeks depending on soil temperature, soil moisture, soil microbial organisms, soil pH, soil leaching and factors affecting 4Farmers Cyanazine 900 WDG Herbicide volatility. 4Farmers Cyanazine 900 WDG Herbicide is not recommended for control of heavy infestations of annual ryegrass and wireweed unless used in a mixture with pendimethalin or trifluralin. Refer to the pendimethalin or trifluralin labels for advice on crop safety, follow-crop restrictions (etc). Temporary crop damage (yellowing) may occur particularly where 4Farmers Cyanazine 900 WDG Herbicide is applied to crops grown on sand over clay (duplex) soils.

APPLICATION:

For pre-emergence applications, except in WA, weed control is generally most effective when 4Farmers Cyanazine 900 WDG Herbicide is applied immediately after sowing and not incorporated. 4Farmers Cyanazine 900 WDG Herbicide should be applied uniformly by ground boom sprayed fitted with Fan Jets fully calibrated to ensure even application. 4Farmers Cyanazine 900 WDG Herbicide should not be applied by aircraft.Spray volume is not critical but a rate of between 80 and 200 litres per hectare, at a speed of 10 to 15 kph, is suggested. If using lower spray volumes, nozzle output should not exceed 600 mL/minute. Product performance is likely to be reduced if spray equipment does not have continuous agitation during filling and constant agitation and spray pressure during the application process. When spraying, avoid overlapping of the spray bands, and shut off spray boom while starting, turning slowly or stopping. Failure to observe these procedures will cause higher rates of application on some areas resulting in crop damage. It is recommended that spraying be carried out from end to end rather than around the paddock. Plants damaged by wheel tracking may be more susceptible to herbicide damage.

MIXING:

Add the product to the half filled spray tank while agitating. Continue to agitate while topping up the tank and during spraying. Reseal partly used spray container immediately after use.
