GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

MIXING:

• Fluroken 333 can be mixed with water or diesel.
• Mix only the amount needed for each day; avoid storing mixed solutions.

Mixing in Water:

• Half fill the spray tank with water.
• Add Fluroken 333 and complete filling, agitating continuously for thorough mixing.

Mixing in Diesel:

• Half fill the spray tank with diesel.
• Add Fluroken 333 and remaining diesel; agitate or shake to mix.

Tank Mixtures:

• Add wettable powder or dry flowable formulations first, followed by suspension concentrates, water-soluble salts, and emulsifiable concentrate formulations (Fluroken 333).
• Add spraying oils and surfactants last.

OILS AND SURFACTANTS:

• Oils: Use Uptake Spraying Oil at specified rates.
• Surfactants (Wetters): Use non-ionic surfactants like Ken-Wett 1000 where required.

APPLICATION METHODS AND WATER RATES

BROADCAST APPLICATION IN CROPPING, PASTURE, AND FALLOW SITUATIONS:

A. Ground Application (Boom):

• Apply with a calibrated boom sprayer in at least 50 L/ha water (100-400 L/ha for sugar cane).
• Use flat fan nozzles at 200-300 kPa pressure.
• Set the boom at a height for double overlap of nozzle patterns.

B. Ground Directed Application (Dropper Nozzles):

• Use dropper nozzles in sorghum (beyond 8 leaf growth stage), maize, and sweet corn (beyond 6 leaf growth stage).
• Adjust nozzles to direct spray into the base of the crop.

C. Aerial Application:

• Apply in a minimum volume of 35 L/ha water (60 L/ha in sugarcane).
• Use calibrated equipment producing droplets with VMD of 250-350 microns.
• Avoid application in high temperatures, no wind, or wind toward susceptible crops.

WOODY WEED SITUATIONS:

• Weeds must be actively growing.
• Delay treatment of regrowth until at least 1 meter of new growth.

A. High Volume Application (Hand Gun, Knapsack):

• Apply recommended mix for full coverage.
• Use a spray volume of 1500 to 4000 L/ha for thorough coverage.

B. Low Volume, High Concentrate Application (Drench Gun or Gas-Powered Gun):

• Apply uniformly across foliage by applying 50 mL shots.

C. Basal Bark and Cut Stump Application:

Basal Bark:

• Spray or paint recommended mixture around the base of each stem.

Cut Stump:

• Apply liberally to freshly cut stump immediately after cutting.

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT:

Rinsing (Water-Based Sprays):

• Thoroughly wash inside the spray unit using a pressure hose.
• Rinse with clean water.

Decontamination (Before Spraying Cotton and Other Sensitive Crops):

• Wash with an alkali detergent for at least 15 minutes.

Cleaning (Diesel-Based Sprays):

• Use a degreaser to remove diesel traces.
• Rinse tank and spray through nozzles with water.
• Clean brushes and containers with degreaser and detergent.

Note: Always refer to the latest local regulations and guidelines, and consult with local experts for crop-specific advice.
