GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

All Applications Reduce the incidence of “fines” by using the correct nozzle and operating pressures. Replace worn or old nozzles and calibrate equipment on a regular basis. Fallow Application I-PIC can be applied in fallow prior to the planting of various crops as outlined in the Follow Crops table. I-PIC is a pre-emergence herbicide, which is recommended to provide short term (6 to 12 weeks) pre-emergence control of summer germinating grasses and broadleaved weeds in cultivated or uncultivated fallow. A green weed cover of greater than 50% will significantly reduce the length of pre-emergence weed control.

Sugarcane application Pre-emergence: Where possible, apply to soil to days prior to incorporation. Incorporate with adequate irrigation or rainfall to a minimum depth of 5 cm. Incorporation by flood irrigation may result in loss of weed control. I-PIC should be applied to plant or ratoon cane before the cane has emerged. When applying I-PIC in moist conditions, allow weeds to germinate prior to application and apply mixed with appropriate knockdown herbicide. Whenever emerged weeds are present, I-PIC should be mixed with an appropriate knockdown herbicide.

Post-emergence: I-PIC MUST always be mixed with registered rates of Paraquat (i.e. Shirquat) and applied as a carefully directed inter-row spray to weeds and at the base of the sugar cane stalks, minimizing spray contact with sugarcane foliage. DO NOT add crop oil to this mixture. Other surfactant or adjuvant is not required.

Pre-emergence: Apply to soil and incorporate with adequate irrigation or rainfall to a minimum depth of 5 cm.

APPLICATION

DO NOT apply by aircraft.

Fallow application: Apply with boom equipment in not less than 50 L/ha water using flat fan nozzles. Avoid overlap and do not overspray headlands.

Sugarcane: Ensure thorough coverage of soil and weeds with well-calibrated spray equipment. Apply in a minimum of 200 L water/ha using a nozzle configuration to generate a medium to coarse spray pattern for pre-emergence applications or medium spray pattern for post emergence applications. Replace worn or old nozzles and calibrate equipment on a regular basis.

Peanuts: Apply with boom equipment in not less than 50 L/ha water using flat fan nozzles. Avoid overlap and do not overspray headlands. For post-emergence applications, I-PIC should be applied a minimum of 2 hours before rainfall.
