STUBBLE/FALLOW, SPRAY PRIOR TO DIRECT DRILLING OR SOWING WINTER CEREALS, GRAIN LEGUMES (PEANUTS - Qld ONLY), CANOLA
Weeds Controlled: Refer to Weed Table
State: All States 
Rate per ha: 210-800 mL
WHP (days): N/A 
Critical Comments: Observe the plantback periods given
in the table in this leaflet. Must be tank mixed with a knockdown herbicide such as glyphosate, paraquat or paraquat/ diquat (e.g.Spray Seed®). Select appropriate rate from the Weed Table. For skeleton weed, spraying should only be done 6-8 weeks before anticipated sowing date and subsequent cultivation limited to a minimum.

HARVEST AID OR SALVAGE SPRAY
Weeds Controlled: Broadleaf Weeds
WINTER CEREALS
Weeds Controlled: Refer to Weed Table 
State: All States 
Rate per ha: 1.68 L 
WHP (days): 7 
Critical Comments: Apply after dough stage of crop. Interval between application and effectiveness is 10-20 days. For desiccation of green matter, estimate harvest date and spray approximately 14 days earlier. Rain between spraying and actual harvest can negate results.
NB. Where thistles are tall and branching above crop, spraying can turn the branches down into the crop, presenting more stalks to cause header comb blockages.
Spraying may increase seed contamination of harvest by accelerating maturity.
Do not use with undersown legumes that have not set seed.

IMPORTANT: WHEN APPLIED TO DRY SOILS AT LEAST 15 mm OF RAIN MUST FALL PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE PLANT BACK PERIOD.
NOTES:
* In Queensland, no rainfall is required to fall prior to commencement of Plantback Period for barley, triticale and wheat.
** In Queensland, planting of canola/rapeseed, chickpeas and safflower must be delayed for at least 14 days following rainfall of at least 15 mm.
*** In Central Queensland, when using 730 mL/ha or less of Dow AgroSciences Esteron LV, the Plantback Period for sorghum and sunflower is 1 day irrespective of rainfall. 
**** In WA the Plantback Period for lupins at all rates is 28 days.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Before opening, carefully read DIRECTIONS FOR USE, PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON- TARGET PLANTS, SAFETY DIRECTIONS and
FIRST AID Instructions.
DO NOT spray in high winds.
DO NOT spray crops or weeds outside the stages indicated in the CRITICAL COMMENTS as damage, loss of yield or inadequate weed control may result.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
This product may be used in either high or low volume sprays. Just pour into water and stir.
Boom Spraying - Use 30-120 litres water/ha. Aerial Spraying - Use 10-90 litres water/ha.
Note: Refer to the Department of Agriculture / Primary Industries in your state for the current restricted spraying areas.

EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND USAGE
Keep the spray unit for herbicides only if possible. Otherwise wash out the unit with hot soapy water followed by several clear water rinses. DO NOT use wooden spray vats as they cannot be cleaned. Hoses cannot be cleaned and new hoses should be fitted when the unit is to be used for any other purpose.

COMPATIBILITY
This product can be tank mixed with atrazine, dicamba, chlorsulfuron, Garlon™ 600, glyphosate, metsulfuron, paraquat, paraquat/diquat (e.g. SpraySeed®), Starane™ Advanced and triasulfuron.

NOTE:
- As formulations of other manufacturers’ products are beyond the control of Dow AgroSciences all mixtures should be tested on a small scale before mixing in the spray tank.
- Tank mixing instructions:
Fill the spray tank 1/4 full of water and agitate. Add wettable powders and water dispersible granules first. Agitate until these are uniformly dispersed, meanwhile adding water until the tank is 90% full. Add suspension concentrates (flowables) then soluble concentrates.
Emulsifiable concentrates go in last. Top off the tank with water and continue agitation until all the ingredients are properly mixed.
Observe any mixing sequence instructions mentioned on the tank mix products.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING
GROUP I HERBICIDE
Dow AgroSciences Esteron LV Herbicide (Esteron LV) is a member of the phenoxys group of herbicides. Esteron LV has the disruptors of plant cell growth mode of action.
For weed resistance management Esteron LV is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Esteron LV and other Group I 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 Esteron LV or Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Esteron LV to control resistant weeds.
