GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Conquest Encore 240 Herbicide is a selective herbicide for the control of certain annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in dormant apples, grapes, peaches, pears, plums, apricots, almonds, macadamia, dubosia, tobacco, coffee, pyrethrum, winter cereals, tropical/sub-tropical crops, brassicas, onions, Eucalyptus and Pinus spp and other forestry trees used in forestry applied either to a weed free soil or to seedling weeds at the 4 to 6 true leaf stage.
Conquest Encore 240 Herbicide applied to well prepared weed free soil should not be disturbed or incorporated after application. Weed control for up to 6 months can be expected, but spot treatment with knockdown herbicides, of escape weeds are perennial grasses may be necessary.
When Conquest Encore 240 Herbicide is applied to seedling weeds at the 4 to 6 true leaf stage a non-ionic surfactant such as Conquest Wetter 100 surfactant should be added at recommended rates to improve activity.
Conquest Encore 240 Herbicide can also be utilised at low rates to improve the weed spectrum of knockdown herbicides.
Duboisia seedlings and mature plants will tolerate “over-the-top” applications. Eucalypt and pine transplants and established trees can tolerate “over-the-top” applications.
When using Conquest Encore 240 Herbicide in combination with other herbicides, refer to the appropriate label and read and follow all label directions.

TIMING
For optimum residual weed control, Conquest Encore 240 Herbicide should be applied to the soil surface prior to weed emergence after all other agricultural operations have been completed, such as mechanical cultivation and reshaping of irrigation furrows. The area should be left undisturbed during the period of desired weed control. When applied to seedling weeds, they should be young and actively growing. Weed control for up to 6 months is expected but spot treatment, with knockdown herbicides, for escape weeds and perennial grasses may be necessary.

MIXING
Shake well before use. When using Conquest Encore 240 Herbicide alone, fill the spray tank, at least one-third full with clean water, add the recommended amount of Conquest Encore 240 Herbicide while the pump and agitator are running, then complete filling the spray tank. A non-ionic surfactant, if required by label directions, should be added near the end of the filling process to minimise foaming.
When tank mixing with Oryzalin, add to one-third filled tank, then the Conquest Encore 240 Herbicide during the filling operation. Maintain agitation during mixing and until spraying is completed. When tank mixing with Glyphosate, Conquest Explode 250 Herbicide, add these after Conquest Encore 240 Herbicide during the filling operation.
When using Conquest Encore 240 Herbicide in mixtures always refer to the appropriate label and read and follow all label directions.

APPLICATION
Conquest Encore 240 Herbicide should be applied as a ground spray directed at the base of the crop plants. The spray mixture should be applied evenly with a carefully calibrated, standard low-pressure herbicide sprayer with a flat fan or hollow cone nozzle. When seedling weeds are present ensure thorough coverage of their foliage is required to obtain the maximum knockdown effect. Ensure both the weed foliage and the soil surface are sprayed. When applying to bare soil use 250 to 500 L of water/ha. For application to seedling weeds (4 to 6 leaf stage) use 250 to 1,350 L/ha. Use higher volumes for high weed density.

COMPATIBILITY:
This product is compatible with Glyphosate, Conquest Explode 250 Herbicide, Oryzalin and Conquest Sanction 200 Non-Residual Herbicide.
