GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - DESTRO 375 Herbicide

Target Conditions:

• Best results under good growing conditions when weeds are actively growing.
• Avoid application to stressed weeds (severe frosts, dry, waterlogged conditions, nutrient deficiency, or disease).
• Wild oats germinating after application are often stunted and do not seriously compete with the crop.
• Successful application to crops with frost or dew cover, but should be avoided if spraying cannot be completed.

Spray Mixtures:

• If spraying cannot be completed, mixtures of DESTRO 375 in clean water may be left overnight without significant loss of efficacy.
• Mixture should be well-agitated before spraying re-commences.
• Not recommended as general practice.

MIXING:

• Add DESTRO 375 directly to the spray tank when about two-thirds full.
• Top up with water to the required volume with agitators in motion.
• Add wetting agents just before the tank is full to avoid excessive frothing.

APPLICATION:

• Aim to apply to the base of weeds for penetration.

EQUIPMENT:

• Ground Sprayers:

  • Standard boom sprays with by-pass or mechanical agitation recommended.
  • Use approximately 50 to 150 L water/ha and a droplet size of 200 to 300 microns.
  • DO NOT apply with boomless jets or misters.
  • For better coverage and penetration, set nozzles at a 45° angle forward, especially in dense crops.

• Knapsack Equipment:

  • Apply DESTRO 375 at label rates in adequate water to thoroughly wet weeds (5 to 10 L/100 m²).

• Aircraft:

  • Best results with 20 to 30 L water/ha, steady crosswind, and a swath width of 15 to 18 meters.
  • Aim for a droplet size of 200 to 300 microns.
  • Consult the aircraft manufacturer for details.

COMPATIBILITY:

1. For broadleaf weed control in wheat, barley, triticale, and rye.

   • Compatible with Bromoxy 200 EC, CLOP (clopyralid), DIMETHOLINX, OMETHO-MITE 290 SL, phosmet.
   • Mixed with Bromoxynil + MCPA, Tigrex (up to 800 mL/ha), MCPA LVE (up to 700 mL/ha) may cause some loss of activity.
   • Mixed with MEERKAT (up to 750 mL/ha), Eclipse (up to 7 g/ha) may cause some loss of Wild Oat control.

2. When mixing with broadleaf herbicides and a non-ionic surfactant (1000 g/L) at the rate of 250 mL per 100L of spray solution.

   • Minimize reductions in grass weed control by using a minimum of 80 L of water per hectare (ground) and 30 L (air).
   • For Wild Oats, use 2.0 L DESTRO 375/ha (except barley).
   • DO NOT use Bromoxynil + MCPA at rates above 1.4 L/ha when mixing with DESTRO 375.

3. Allow at least 10 days between DESTRO 375 and other herbicides containing 2,4-D, MCPA, dicamba, or similar sprays.

4. For oilseed poppies in Tasmania only: Mix with pesticides as recommended by the Department of Agriculture or the poppy contracting company.

5. Where phalaris is present, DESTRO 375 and Puma S may be applied together at the recommended rates. Add a wetting agent as recommended on the DESTRO 375 label.
