LIVESTOCK DESTINED FOR EXPORT MARKETS
The grazing withholding period only applies to stock slaughtered for the domestic market. Some export markets apply different standards. To meet these standards, ensure that in addition to complying with the grazing withholding period, the Export Slaughter Interval is observed before stock are sold or slaughtered.

EXPORT SLAUGHTER INTERVAL (ESI)
LIVESTOCK THAT HAS BEEN GRAZED ON OR FED TREATED CROPS SHOULD BE PLACED ON CLEAN FEED FOR 7 DAYS PRIOR TO SLAUGHTER

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
FUSILADE FORTE is rapidly absorbed by leaves and green stems (is rainfast within 1 hour) and translocated throughout the plant. It accumulates at growing points, both above ground and in the roots, rhizomes and stolons of grass weeds. Weed growth and hence competition with the crop stops within 48 hours. First symptoms are not evident for at least a week after application. Growing points turn brown and rot, shoot tips can be easily pulled out after 2 to 3 weeks. Young leaves turn yellow or redden soon after, but more mature leaves may remain green for extended periods. Weed control is usually complete 3 to 5 weeks after spraying. If treated area is to be grazed following application with Fusilade Forte, allow 7 days to elapse before introducing stock to ensure maximum weed control.

Mixing
Add the required amount of product directly to the spray tank which should be 50 to 75% full. The agitation system should be running during mixing and spraying. If agitation ceases and settlement occurs, agitate thoroughly before spraying. The addition of an adjuvant is not necessary.

Time of Application
To obtain the maximum benefits of this product, weeds should be sprayed when young and actively growing. Grasses establishing from seed should be sprayed before tillering occurs. Higher rates will be necessary once tillering commences. For annual grass weeds, spraying must take place before the late tillering stage if a complete kill is desired.
Unless otherwise specified in the Critical Comments application may be made at any stage of crop growth but allowing sufficient time for the prescribed withholding period.

Method of Application
Good spray coverage is essential for maximum results. Spray equipment must be checked and calibrated accurately prior to application.
Boom spraying
Check height of boom above the target weeds to ensure the spray is evenly distributed and a double overlap pattern is obtained. When spraying grass weed targets, an even distribution of droplets with no less than 50 % of the spray volume in the 150 to 300 micron range is desirable.
Broadacre use: Water volumes per hectare will depend on nozzle selection and should be in the range of 50 to 100 L/ha. 110 fan nozzles are preferred for use with this product. Use higher volumes of spray to achieve full coverage of dense, vigorous weed infestations.
Band spraying: Ensure sufficient coverage by using 2 nozzles (one either side of the plant row) when the crop is beyond the 2 leaf stage.
Aerial Application
Flying height, pressure, nozzle size and positioning of the aircraft should be such to minimise spray drift. Avoid spraying in high winds or under temperature inversion conditions. Special care must be taken to avoid drift onto adjacent crops such as cereals, maize or sorghum. Apply in not less than 30 L/ha.
Spot Spraying
On smaller areas use a knapsack sprayer suitably calibrated.

Cleaning Up
After use, clean equipment thoroughly and rinse several times prior to re-use.

Compatibility
This product is compatible with Agral and BS1000, DC Trate*, Ulvapron*, Sertin*, Imidan*, Karate and Pirimor. DO NOT tank mix with other pesticides without prior reference to a Syngenta representative.

Resistant Weeds Warning
FUSILADE FORTE 128 EC Herbicide is a member of the aryloxyphenoxypropionate group of herbicides. FUSILADE FORTE has the inhibitors of acetyl coA carboxylase mode of action. For weed resistance management FUSILADE FORTE is a Group A herbicide.
Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to FUSILADE FORTE and Group A 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 FUSILADE FORTE or other Group A herbicides.
Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Syngenta Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of FUSILADE FORTE to control resistant weeds.

Stress Conditions
Moisture stress is a particular problem, whether caused by drought or short term stresses, resulting from a combination of high temperatures and low humidity or by prior use of pre-emergence herbicides resulting in stunted root growth of weeds. An irrigation or an effective rainfall must occur immediately before or after spraying if these conditions exist. Other stress situations to avoid include frost, waterlogging and extended cold conditions. DO NOT spray if any stress conditions are evident just prior to application.
