GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - FARMALINX DIFLUCAN 500 Herbicide

Target Crops:

• Early post-emergence spray in clover-based pasture, field peas, green peas, lentils, and lupins.
• Post-sowing pre-emergence spray on lupins and green peas.

Activity:

• Provides both contact and residual activity.
• Residual activity up to 8 weeks under favorable growing conditions.
• Taken up by the shoots of germinating seeds and seedlings.
• Causes chlorosis and necrosis in susceptible weeds.

Crop Impact:

• Transient crop discoloration may occur.
• Lentils and lupins: Yellow or white banding on leaves.
• Clover and field peas: White/pink coloration of leaf veins and tips.
• Some crop height reduction may occur.
• Crop development and subsequent growth unaffected under normal conditions.

Precautions:

• Transient crop discoloration and height reduction may occur, provided the crop is not under stress.
• Atrazine, a pre-emergence herbicide, can increase crop damage, especially in field peas.
• Field peas are particularly sensitive; exercise caution when tank-mixing with certain herbicides.

Mixing:

• Stir or invert the container before use to address settling.
• Half-fill the spray tank with clean water, add the required product amount, agitate, and then add the rest of the water.
• Thorough agitation during application is crucial.

Application:

• Ground Application:
  • Minimum water rate: 50 L/ha (optimum: 70-100 L/ha).
  • Adjust water volume based on weed infestation and crop cover.
  • Complete coverage of weeds is essential.
  • Higher water volumes (up to 100 L/ha) may enhance product activity but could increase crop damage symptoms.

Tank-Mix Guidelines:

• For tank-mixtures with grass herbicides, use recommended rates for both herbicides.
• Read the label of the grass herbicide for surfactant recommendations.
• DO NOT use crop oils with FARMALINX DIFLUCAN 500 Herbicide or tank mixtures with grass herbicides.
• Exercise caution with tank-mixes to avoid damage.

Special Considerations:

• Applications to lupins and field peas under stressed conditions may cause significant damage.
• Tank-mixes with simazine should be applied post-emergence to lupins crops only.
• DO NOT apply tank-mixtures to clover.
• Consult local Farmalinx Pty Ltd representative or relevant herbicide manufacturer for advice on tank-mixes.

Always follow guidelines, read labels thoroughly, and consult with local representatives for specific recommendations based on local conditions.
