GROUP N HERBICIDE

For the Non-Residual control of Broadleaf and Grass Weeds in Various Situations as specified in the Directions for Use table.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
RESTRAINTS:
DO NOT apply by aircraft.
DO NOT apply when rain is expected within 6 hours.
DO NOT apply to weeds under stress due to, for example, very dry, very wet, frosty or diseased conditions.
DO NOT apply under hot dry conditions (temperatures above 33oC with a relative humidity below 50%).

BLACKBERRY, BOYSENBERRY, LOGANBERRY, RASPBERRY
Weed: Primocane and sucker control
State: NSW, ACT, Vic, Tas only
Rate: 500 mL/100 L water
WHP: Nil
Critical comments: Apply as a directed spray to suckers and primocanes. Contact with flowers, developing fruit or desirable foliage will cause damage. Ensure complete coverage of primocanes/suckers by spraying to the point of runoff, preferably when they are less than 15 cm high. A non-ionic wetting agent (WETSPRAY 1000) may be added at a rate of 25 mL/100 L or equivalent.

CITRUS ORCHARDS, OLIVE PLANTATIONS
Weed: See list of weeds controlled in Tables 1 and 2
State: Qld, NSW, ACT, Vic, SA, WA, NT only
Rate: 1.0 to 5.0 L/ha
WHP: Nil

POME AND STONE FRUIT ORCHARDS
Weed: See list of weeds controlled in Tables 1 and 2
State: All States
Rate: 1.0 to 5.0 L/ha
WHP: 21 days (H)

TREE NUT PLANTATION VINEYARDS
Weed: See list of weeds controlled in Tables 1 and 2
State: All States
Rate: 1.0 to 5.0 L/ha
WHP: Nil

Critical comments: Apply as a directed or shielded spray. Refer to the label section Application Equipment for specific information on application methods. Controlled Droplet Application equipment must not be used for application in cherry orchards.
Warnings: DO NOT apply spray or spray drift to contact desirable foliage or green (uncalloused) bark. To avoid potential crop damage, refer to the label sections on Application Equipment and PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS.
Exonerate HERBICIDE may be used around trees/ vines less than two years old provided they are effectively shielded from spray and spray drift.
The recommended rate of use is determined by the following criteria:
WEED SPECIES
WEED STAGE OF ROWTH
WEED DENSITY
CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
WEED SPECIES
Apply the appropriate rate to control the least susceptible weed present as per the lists of weeds controlled in the accompanying tables.
WEED STAGE OF GROWTH
Use the lower rate when weeds are young and succulent (grasses: pre-tillering; broadleaves: cotyledons to 4-leaf) or the population is very sparse.
A median rate should be used for medium sized plants (grasses: tillering; broadleaves: 4-leaf to advanced vegetative) and the high rate should be used when weeds are mature (grasses: noding to flowering; broadleaves: budding to flowering).
WEED DENSITY
Use the higher rates when the weed population is dense. Thorough coverage of weeds is essential for good control.
CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
Best results are achieved when applied under warm humid conditions. Control will be reduced and/or slower under cold conditions and/or overcast conditions. Good results will be achieved under most other conditions, however poor results may occur under hot dry conditions (temperature above 33oC with a relative humidity below 50%).
Weeds that have been hardened or stunted in growth due to stressed conditions should be treated at the maximum rate.
COVERAGE
Complete coverage of weeds is essential for good control. Poor coverage may result in re-growth.
PERENNIAL WEEDS
Apply when weeds are actively growing. Follow-up treatments will be necessary to control re-growth of perennial weeds in most cases.

STRAWBERRIES, CANE BERRY FRUITS (inter-row)
Weed: See lists of weeds controlled in Tables 1 and 2
State: All States
Rate: 1.0 to 5.0 L/ha
WHP: Nil

TOMATOES (inter-row)
Weed: See lists of weeds controlled in Tables 1 and 2
State: All States
Rate: 1.0 to 5.0 L/ha
WHP: Nil

Critical comments: Apply as a directed or shielded spray to the interrow area. Take care not to allow spray or spray drift to contact the crop, including strawberry runners.
Refer to GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS for warnings concerning plastic mulch and fumigated/sterilised soil. Determine the recommended rate of use by considering the criteria WEED SPECIES, WEED STAGE OF GROWTH, WEED DENSITY and CLIMATIC CONDITIONS, as described above.

NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
EXONERATE® HERBICIDE is a non-volatile herbicide with activity against many annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and grasses. EXONERATE HERBICIDE is absorbed by plant foliage and green stems. It is not significantly translocated as an active herbicide throughout the plant, and therefore will only kill that part of a green plant that is contacted by spray. EXONERATE HERBICIDE does not provide residual weed control. Visible symptoms of control appear in 3 to 7 days, but complete desiccation may take 20 to 30 days under cool conditions. Best results are achieved when application is made under good growing conditions. Application to weeds under stress (e.g. due to continuous severe frosts, dry or waterlogged conditions) should be avoided.
Soil fumigation / sterilisation
EXONERATE HERBICIDE is metabolised (broken down) by microorganisms in the soil to become inactive. Soil fumigation or sterilisation will reduce the number of microorganisms present, thus slowing the breakdown of EXONERATE HERBICIDE. As damage to transplants or seedlings may occur, it is not advisable to apply EXONERATE HERBICIDE in conjunction with soil fumigation or sterilisation.
Plastic mulches
EXONERATE HERBICIDE will remain active on inert surfaces such as plastic. Special care should be taken when applying EXONERATE HERBICIDE over plastic mulches, as plant contact with the mulch after spraying may result in crop damage.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING
EXONERATE HERBICIDE is a member of the phosphinic acid group of herbicides. EXONERATE HERBICIDE is an inhibitor of glutamine synthetase. For weed resistance management EXONERATE HERBICIDE is a Group N herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to EXONERATE HERBICIDE, and other Group N herbicides which inhibit glutamine synthetase, 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 EXONERATE HERBICIDE or other Group N herbicides.
Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Adama Australia Pty. Ltd. accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of EXONERATE HERBICIDE to control resistant weeds.

Export of Treated Produce
Growers should note that suitable MRLs or import tolerances may not be established in all markets for produce treated with EXONERATE HERBICIDE. If you are growing produce for export, please check with Adama Australia Pty Ltd for the latest information on MRLs and import tolerances BEFORE using EXONERATE HERBICIDE.

Compatibility
EXONERATE HERBICIDE is compatible with most residual herbicides e.g. SIMANEX, diuron, CAVALIER, norfluazuron, and CAMEO, and with WIPE-OUT and LYNX. The addition of a wetting agent or other adjuvant is generally not considered necessary, (refer to the Directions for Use table). However, benefit has been obtained using a wetting agent or adjuvant on hard-to-wet weeds when using water rates in excess of 500 L/ha. The rate is 25 mL/100 L of WETSPRAY. For information on compatible wetting agents and adjuvants, contact your local Adama representative.

Mixing
EXONERATE HERBICIDE mixes easily with water. Clean water should always be used for mixing with EXONERATE HERBICIDE. Ensure that the spray tank is free of any residues of previous spray materials. Two-thirds fill the spray tank with clean water, and with agitator operating add the required amount of EXONERATE HERBICIDE. Add other relevant compatible products. Top the tank up to the required volume with clean water with agitator running.

Application Equipment
Ground Sprayers
Aim to apply a thorough and even coverage of spray to the target plant. Dense stands of weeds should be thoroughly wetted with spray. Incomplete coverage may result in poor control. Equipment should be such that adequate coverage, penetration and volume of spray liquid can be achieved.

Boom or Directed Sprayer Equipment
EXONERATE HERBICIDE should be applied at label rates (refer to specific column in the lists of weeds controlled) in sufficient water to give thorough coverage of weeds. It has been found that 300 to 500 L/ha has given good results under most weed conditions. Special care must be taken when using sprayer/slasher combination units not to cause dust and turbulence, which can carry spray into non-target areas.

Knapsack and Handgun Equipment
EXONERATE HERBICIDE should be applied at label rates (refer to specific columns in the lists of weeds controlled) in adequate water to thoroughly wet the weeds being sprayed, i.e. 500 to 1000 L/ha. Dense stands will require up to 1000 L/ha of spray mixture, whereas less dense stands will require less water. High volume application using hollowcone nozzles for hand spraying is recommended.

Controlled Droplet Application (CDA) Equipment
EXONERATE HERBICIDE may be applied through CDA row spraying equipment fitted with a solid (impermeable) shroud or skirt, at rates as recommended for boom or directed sprayers (refer to specific column in the lists of weeds controlled), provided thorough spray coverage of weeds can be achieved. Apply preferably when weeds are less than 15 cm in height, with the equipment set up so that the spray dome only just touches the tops of the weeds. A total spray volume of 20 to 30 L/ha has been found to give good results. Do not mix residual herbicides or any spray adjuvants with EXONERATE HERBICIDE when
using CDA equipment.
Warning: Because the spray solution is highly concentrated particular care must be taken when using EXONERATE HERBICIDE through CDA equipment to avoid contact of the spray solution with any part of the crop trunk or canopy. DO NOT apply EEXONERATE HERBICIDE through equipment fitted with bristle skirts. Particular care should be taken when using CDA equipment around green or uncalloused bark. Please refer to PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS.
CDA equipment must not be used for application in cherry orchards.

Sprayer cleanup
Clean all equipment after use by thoroughly flushing with water.

Aircraft
DO NOT apply by aircraft.

PRECAUTIONS
Re-entry period: Do not allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried. When prior entry is necessary, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.
