PRODUCT INFORMATION

Chemag Eradicator Power 570 is a non-volatile, non-selective, water-soluble liquid herbicide for the control of annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds in a wide range of agricultural use situations. Chemag Eradicator Power 570 may be used for weed control on agricultural land prior to planting any edible or non-edible crop but not to transplanting tomatoes. When applying this product prior to transplanting crops into plastic mulch, care should be taken to remove residues of this product from the plastic prior to transplanting. Residues can be removed by 2cm of natural rainfall or by applying water via a sprinkler irrigation system.

Chemag Eradicator Power 570 is absorbed by plant foliage and green stems. It is inactivated on clay and organic matter in soil and does not provide residual weed control. Eradicator Power 570 moves throughout the plant from the point of contact to and into the root system. Initial visible effects on annual weeds take 3-7 days but may not be noticeable for 2-3 weeks under cool cloudy conditions or on some perennial weeds.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING

CHEMAG ERADICATOR POWER 570 is a member of the Glycines group of herbicides. Chemag Eradicator Power 570 has the inhibition of EPSP synthase mode of action. For weed resistance management, Chemag Eradicator Power 570 is a group M Herbicide.

Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Chemag Eradicator Power 570 and other Group M Herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by Chemag Eradicator Power 570 or other Group M Herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Imtrade accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Chemag Eradicator Power 570 to control resistant weeds. Users should consider modifying management practices in order to manage weeds through an integrated strategy and to minimize the likelihood of emergence of, or selection for, Glyphosate resistant weeds.

Such measures may include:

• Crop and herbicide rotations: this will reduce the selection pressure for resistance.
• Crop management practices that minimize weed seed build-up.
• Recording and monitoring of herbicide use and weed distribution on the farm.
• Collecting seed samples from weeds that are normally sensitive to Glyphosate but which have become resistant.

CROP ESTABLISHMENT

Chemag Eradicator Power 570 is recommended for the control of emerged weeds prior to crop establishment, cultivation, and/or planting operations, which provide conditions suitable for crop emergence and establishment are required following herbicide application. Where heavy weed growth is present or soil conditions are unsuitable, planting should be delayed to allow for the decay of weeds and/or development of more favorable soil conditions for the formation of a suitable seedbed. Incorporation of green or decaying vegetation may retard crop emergence under cold, wet conditions. Vegetation may be reduced by grazing, and weed decay may be assisted by cultivation to leave trash on the surface.

MIXING

Chemag Eradicator Power 570 mixes readily with water. Reduced results may occur if water is used containing suspended clay or organic matter (e.g., from dams, streams, and irrigation channels) or high levels of calcium, magnesium, or bicarbonate ions.

Do not mix, store, or apply this product in galvanized steel or unlined steel containers or spray tanks, since a highly flammable mixture may be formed. Use stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, fiberglass, plastic, or plastic-lined containers or spray tanks. Spray tanks, pumps, lines, and nozzles should be thoroughly cleaned with clean water following application. Ensure that the spray tank is free of any residue of other spray solutions prior to mixing. Use spray solutions promptly, as a gradual loss of activity may occur over a period of days following spray preparation.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Fill the spray tank 1/3 to ½ full with clean water and start agitation.
2. If adding Liase (ammonium sulfate), use a 2% v/v and mix thoroughly.
3. If tank mixing, add recommended herbicide/insecticide/additive to the spray tank and mix thoroughly.
4. Add Chemag Eradicator Power 570 and the remaining water. Mix thoroughly.
5. Add Pulse Penetrant or Wetter TX if required, near the end of the filling process.
6. Always maintain adequate agitation during the application and use the tank mix promptly.

Clean all equipment after use by washing thoroughly with water.

APPLICATION

BOOM EQUIPMENT

For boom application, a spray volume of 80L/Ha or less is recommended for optimum performance. Nozzles and pressure setting should be selected to deliver a MEDIUM or MEDIUM COARSE size droplet at the target (BCPC British Crop Protection Council Standard). The use of nozzles and/or pressure settings that produce VERY FINE or FINE droplets should be avoided, as these are prone to loss or drift. In multiple product tank mixes, a minimum water volume of 50L/ha is recommended, and local advice should be sought. Correct mixing order is important, as is good in-tank agitation when application is occurring.

For shielded applications, a spray volume of 80L/sprayed Ha is recommended using nozzle types and pressure setting to deliver a COARSE (BCPC) size droplet at the target. Crop damage may result if spray drift occurs through incorrect nozzle and/or pressure selection, inadequate shielding and/or wind strength, high evaporation rates, or excessive ground speed.

WIPER EQUIPMENT

Wiper Equipment (e.g., Ropewick, canvas, felt, or carpet applicators) may be used to apply Chemag Eradicator Power 570. Avoid contact with desirable vegetation. Operate wiper equipment a minimum of 10cm above the crop or pasture. Weeds should be at least 15cm above the crop or pasture at the time of application. The speed of travel should be no greater than 8kn/h. Best results are achieved at lower speeds and where two applications are made in opposite directions (double pass). Where weeds are of variable height or occur in dense infestations or clumps, some plants may not be contacted by the herbicide solution. In these cases, repeat treatment may be necessary.

RATE: Mix 700mL Eradicator Power 570 with 2.3 liters of clean water. Adjust flow rate to suit equipment.

AERIAL EQUIPMENT

Chemag Eradicator Power 570 may be applied by aircraft for the control of weeds in forests, cropland, or pasture prior to the establishment of crops, new pastures, or new forest planting and for pre-harvest applications, up to a maximum rate of 2.7L/ha where specified on the label. DO NOT apply treatments by aircraft in situations where drift onto sensitive crops and pastures is likely to occur.

Apply treatments using boom or Micronair equipment using a spray volume not less than 20L/ha and using settings to produce a median droplet diameter of 250-350 microns. In multiple product tank mixes, a minimum water volume of 50L/ha is recommended, and local advice should be sought. Correct mixing order is important. Swath width should be set to take into account aircraft type, wind conditions, and target height. Swath width will need to be reduced to avoid striping under light wind conditions and/or application to tall, dense targets (e.g., pre-harvest application, treatments in heavy crop stubble). Thoroughly wash aircraft after each day of spraying to remove herbicide residue.

APPLICATION ON HILLY TERRAIN

Increase water volume to 30-80L/ha and increase median droplet diameter of the output to at least 300 microns to optimize deposition of output onto weeds.

AIR TEMPERATURE AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY

DO NOT apply Chemag Eradicator Power 570 by aircraft at temperatures above 30°C. Increase spray output to at least 30l/ha when temperatures rise above 25°C. Avoid application when relative humidity falls below 35%.

AVOID DRIFT

DO NOT apply treatments with spraying equipment or under weather conditions, which are likely to cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible crops, pastures, or other sensitive plants. DO NOT apply treatments under light (less than 4km/h) or inversion conditions or where wind speeds exceed 12km/h.

APPLICATION CHECKLIST

• Do not treat weeds under poor growing conditions due to moisture stress, waterlogging, severe frosting, insect damage, etc. Reduced performance may also occur where weeds are covered with dust or silt.
• Do not add surfactants, adjuvants, or other pesticides except as specifically directed on this label.
• Rain within 1 hour of application, which causes runoff, may require retreatment. Rainfastness is reduced if weeds are not actively growing, under stress, or conditions of low light intensity/darkness. The addition of Wetter may improve rainfastness on winter annual weeds.
• A withholding period for grazing is not required. However, it is recommended that grazing of treated plants be delayed to ensure herbicide uptake

. Certain plants such as Soursob, Variegated thistle, Sorghum, and Johnson grass may be naturally toxic to stock when eaten in large quantities under certain conditions. Where plants are known to be toxic, grazing should be delayed until complete desiccation of treated plants has occurred.

• Apply treatments to weeds, which have at least one true leaf (broadleaf weeds) or two leaves (grasses) to provide an adequate surface area for herbicide uptake.
• If heavy grazing has occurred, allow regrowth to 6-8 cm before spraying and use the higher rates recommended.

PROTECTION OF CROP, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS

Avoid contact with foliage, green bark or stems, canes, laterals, suckers, fresh wounds, exposed non-woody roots, flowers, or fruit of the crop, desirable plants, and trees, since severe injury or destruction may result.

DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands, or pastures.
