GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Mixing

• Add water to the spray tank to 10 cm above the level of agitation and ensure the agitation device is working vigorously. (There must be a minimum of 100 L of water in the tank before any pesticide is added.)

• If tank mixing, firstly, add any soluble liquid formulations (e.g. Victory® Herbicide) and allow agitation for approximately one minute.

• Then add FIREPOWER® 900 at the point where agitation is strongest. (DO NOT add FIREPOWER® 900 through a strainer or sieve). Allow further agitation for one minute.

• Half fill the spray tank.

• If using wettable powder or water dispersible granules, or other emulsifiable concentration formulations (e.g. Strike-Out® 500 EC or Le-Mat*), these should be added after the FIREPOWER® 900 to the half full spray tank ensuring vigorous agitation.

• Finally add Uptake* or Hotwire® Spraying Oil or approved alternate spraying oil/wetter. (See section on spraying oils/wetters) and continue filling the tank to the required volume maintaining agitation at all times.

• Only mix sufficient solution for immediate use. FIREPOWER® 900 and any other tank mixes should be applied immediately for best results.

Spraying Oils/Wetters

• Spraying Oils: It is essential to add an adjuvant to FIREPOWER® 900. Best results will be achieved with Uptake* Spraying Oil at 0.5 L/100 L (or equivalent adjuvant – contact Adama for more information) of spray solution. Alternatively, other oils plus a non-ionic wetter may also be used. When other crop spraying oils are used, mix at 1 L/100 L and add a non-ionic wetter (surfactant) at 200 mL/100L of spray solution. Use of oil is not always recommended. See CRITICAL COMMENTS for specific situation recommendations.

• Non-ionic Wetter: When Uptake* or other oils are not used, a 100% concentrate non-ionic wetting agent such as BS-1000* or Wetspray® 1000 at 200 mL/100L must be used along with the higher rate of FIREPOWER® 900 as specified in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE. Where water volumes of less than 50 L/ha are used, DO NOT use less than 250 mL/ha of Uptake* or 500 mL/ha for oils other than Uptake* or Hotwire® or less than 100 mL/ha of wetter.

CANOLA, LUCERNE, MEDIC AND CLOVER PASTURES AND SEED CROPS:

• When tank mixing FIREPOWER® 900 with Victory® herbicides (canola only) or Broadstrike* (Lucerne, clover and medics), use Uptake* Spraying Oil with the lower rates of FIREPOWER® 900 or a wetting agent with the higher rates of FIREPOWER® 900 unless otherwise specified. When mixing FIREPOWER® 900 with other broadleaf herbicides on these crops, DO NOT use an oil use a wetter instead.

FIELD PEAS, CANOLA AND MUSTARD:

• The oil recommended is Uptake* Spraying Oil. Hasten* is also recommended for use with tank-mixtures of FIREPOWER® 900 and Platinum® Xtra 360 Herbicide.

• For Canola, FIREPOWER® 900 + Victory® 750 SG + Uptake* Spraying Oil are compatible and selective to Canola. This tank-mixture is also compatible with Farmozine® or Simanex® and selective to triazine-tolerant Canola.

NAVY BEANS, PEANUTS, SOYBEANS:

• When mixing with Ardeo® or Broadstar® DO NOT add spraying oil to these mixtures. DO NOT use these tank-mixes on Cowpea.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

• All Pack Sizes: Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. DO NOT store near feedstuffs, fertilizers or seeds. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Triple rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on-site.

• 500 mL to 1 L: If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point.

• DrumMuster Containers: This container can be recycled if it is clean, dry, free of visible residues and has the drumMUSTER logo visible. Wash outside of the container and the cap. Store cleaned container in a sheltered place with cap removed. It will then be acceptable for recycling at any drumMUSTER collection or similar container management program site. The cap should not be replaced, but may be taken separately.

• All Pack Sizes: If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and deliver empty packaging for appropriate disposal to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant Local, State or Territory government regulations. DO NOT burn empty containers or product.

SMALL SPILL MANAGEMENT

• Wear protective equipment (see SAFETY DIRECTIONS). Apply absorbent material such as earth, sand, cat litter or clay granules to the spill. When absorption is complete, sweep up material and contain in a refuse vessel for disposal (see STORAGE AND DISPOSAL section). If necessary, wash the spill area with an alkali detergent and water and absorb this wash liquid for disposal as described above.
