For the control of certain Aquatic broadleaf weeds, and suppression of Barnyard grass in rice as per Directions for Use

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
DuPont Gulliver herbicide is a dry flowable herbicide used for early post emergence control of certain aquatic broadleaf and sedge weeds in rice, and suppression of Barnyard grass. Application of Gulliver herbicide should target small actively growing weeds. Subsequent weed germinations will not be controlled.

CROP SAFETY
DO NOT apply to crops that are stressed by any cause (such as severe weather conditions, excessive water salinity, soil acidity or alkalinity, poor nutrient status, disease or insect damage) as crop injury may result. When treatment is followed by severe stress, crop yellowing or growth retardation may occur. Crops normally recover without loss in yield.

WATER MANAGEMENT
Proper water management is essential for maximum weed control with Gulliver® herbicide. Before herbicide application, ensure that water levels are lowered in the bays and at least three-quarters of the weed growth exposed (on the low side of the bay) enabling direct foliar contact by the spray. Water depth should be no more than 1 - 2 cm deep (on the low side of the bay), or at least the soil should be kept saturated. DO NOT allow the soil to dry out. Weeds covered by water may not be controlled. For ground application, the presence of water can result in a “wash” from the vehicle that will reduce efficacy.
Commence raising water levels 12 - 24 hours following spraying. Reach permanent water levels within 2 days. If this can’t be achieved or further germinations of Barnyard grass are expected, apply a Molinate treatment.
Water from treated paddys must be kept in the rice paddy after application.

DO NOT drain water from Gulliver treated paddys into regional drains, or local waterways or systems for 28 days, or for the period set by the local irrigation Authority and/or State governmental Agency, whichever is the greater.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING
GROUP B HERBICIDE
DuPont Gulliver herbicide is a member of the sulfonylurea group of herbicides. Gulliver has the ALS inhibitor mode of action. For weed resistance management Gulliver is a Group B herbicide, and should always be mixed with MCPA (250 g/L sodium & potassium salt) a Group I herbicide.
Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to one or both of the modes of action of Gulliver herbicide, MCPA or other ALS inhibitor and disruptors-of-plant-cell-growth 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 either Gulliver herbicide or MCPA, and other Group B and Group I herbicides.
Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, DuPont accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Gulliver herbicide or MCPA to control resistant weeds.
Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Consult your farm chemical supplier, consultants, local Department of Agriculture or Primary Industries, or local DuPont representative.

SPRAY PREPARATION
DuPont Gulliver herbicide is a dry flowable formulation to be mixed with water and applied as a foliar spray. Partially fill the tank with water. Measure the amount of Gulliver required for the area to be sprayed. Add the correct amount of Gulliver to the spray tank with the agitation system engaged. Top up to the correct volume of water. THE MATERIAL MUST BE KEPT IN SUSPENSION AT ALL TIMES BY CONTINUOUS AGITATION.
DuPont Gulliver must be in suspension before adding MCPA 250, other companion herbicides or non-ionic surfactant.

SURFACTANT/WETTING AGENT
Always add a non-ionic surfactant (1,000 gai/L) at 100 mL/100 L of final spray volume volume/volume).

COMPATIBILITY
DuPont Gulliver herbicide is compatible with the herbicide, Londax®.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Avoid spraying in still conditions and in winds likely to cause drift onto adjacent sensitive crops. Turn off application equipment whilst passing over irrigation channels, creeks and dams.
DO NOT apply when a temperature inversion is likely to occur.
Ground Spraying: Use a boom properly calibrated to a constant speed and rate of delivery to ensure thorough coverage and a uniform spray pattern. Avoid overlapping and shut off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing or stopping as injury to crop may result. Apply a minimum of 120 L water /ha.
Aerial Spraying: Apply in a minimum of 40 L water /ha using a medium spray quality (VMD droplet size of 250 - 350 m. Use of Micronaire* equipment is not recommended due to greater drift potential.
Sprayer Cleanup
To avoid subsequent injury to crops immediately after spraying thoroughly remove all traces of Gulliver herbicide from mixing and spray equipment as follows:
- Immediately after spraying, drain tank completely. Any contamination on the outside of the spraying equipment should be removed by washing with clean water.
- Rinse inside of tank with clean water and flush through filters, boom and hoses using at least one-tenth of the spray tank volume. Drain tank completely.
- Half fill tank with clean water adding 1 L of household ammonia (contains ammonia) for each 100 litres of tank volume. Agitate, and then flush the filters, boom and hoses with the cleansing solution. Top up with water making sure the tank is completely full and allow to stand for 15 minutes
with agitation engaged. Again flush the filters, boom and hoses and drain tank completely.
- Filters, nozzles and screens should be removed and cleaned separately with ammonia solution at the same concentration as used for the sprayer.
- Rinse the tank with clean water and flush through the filters, boom and hoses using at least one-tenth of the spray tank volume. Drain tank completely.
- DO NOT spray the tank rinsate onto sensitive crops or land intended for cropping with sensitive crops.
NOTE: If not possible to drain the tank completely, step 3 must be repeated before going on to step 4.

PRECAUTION
DO NOT use human flaggers/markers unless they are protected by engineering controls such as enclosed cabs.
