GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING
Garlon FallowMaster Herbicide is a member of the pyridines group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product 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 this product or Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or local Dow AgroSciences representative.

SORGHUM:
Garlon FallowMaster is compatible with:
Starane 200 or Starane Advanced Herbicide, atrazine (500 or 600 g/L flowable product only).
 Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company (“Dow”) or an affiliated company of Dow PVC gloves are not recommended for Garlon FallowMaster Herbicide, therefore, when tank mixing with products that need to be handled with PVC gloves, workers should wear nitrile/neoprene gloves.

MINIMUM RECROPPING PERIODS
Before using Garlon FallowMaster in tank mixes with other herbicides, check the plant-back information on all product labels. The time between spraying and planting will be determined by the product with the longest plant-back period.
Observe the following recropping periods for Garlon FallowMaster:
- wheat, barley, sorghum, maize 7 days
- chickpeas, soybeans, sunflowers 7 days
- cotton 14 days

MIXING
Half fill the spray unit with water and add the required amount of Garlon FallowMaster. Add the remaining water with the agitator running. If required, then add crop oils or wetters (surfactants).
Maintain mechanical or by-pass agitation in the spray tank during spraying. Only mix sufficient solution for immediate daily use and avoid storing.

APPLICATION
A. Boom Application
Application of Garlon FallowMaster in a minimum spray volume of 50 L/ha is recommended. Use nozzles that produce a MEDIUM to COARSE spray quality at the target (ASABE S572).
Boom height must be set to ensure double overlap of nozzle patterns.
B. Aerial Application
DO NOT allow Garlon FallowMaster to physically drift onto desirable plants.
Aircraft may be used to apply Garlon FallowMaster in fallow situations, when ground application equipment cannot be used due to prolonged wet conditions.
A minimum spray volume of 35 L/ha should be used with nozzles that produce a MEDIUM to COARSE spray quality (ASABE S572) at the target are recommended.  
DO NOT apply Garlon FallowMaster by aircraft unless wind speed is more than 3 km/hr and less than 15 km/hr as measured at the application site and/or air temperature is above 30°C. Avoid application when relative humidity falls below 35%.
Human flagging is not authorised unless protected by engineering controls such as vehicles with cabs.

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT
WATER-BASED CLEANING
Rinsing
After using Garlon FallowMaster, empty the spray unit completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the spray unit using a pressure hose. Drain the spray unit and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. After cleaning the spray unit as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice.
Decontamination
Before spraying cotton and other sensitive crops, with equipment that has been used to apply Garlon FallowMaster, see PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS section.
Wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Then quarter fill the tank and add a standard alkali based laundry detergent at 500 g (or mL)/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners.
Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow to drain.
Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and water courses.
