GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

This product must be incorporated into the soil within 4 hours of application, except in Western Australia where the crop is sown with minimum tillage sowing equipment (fitted with knife points or blades less than 12mm wide, usually with press wheels), where application may occur up to 24 hours before incorporation by the sowing process.

INCORPORATION TABLE:

1. Prior to furrowing out: 2 workings at an angle required using Offset or Tandem disc harrows.
2. After furrowing out: 2 workings required using Go-Devil discs or Lilliston cultivators set at 10 cm depth.
3. Rotary Hoe: 1 working required at 5-7.5cm depth. Sugar Cane: 7.5-13cm depth.
4. Offset or Tandem Disc Harrows: 2 workings at an angle required at 7.5-15cm depth at 6.5-10km per hour.
5. Heavy Diamond or Stump Jump Harrows: (weighted 20-30kg per section) at 10-13 km/h speed. Then cross work with offset or tandem disc harrows set to 7.5-15cm depth at a speed of 6.5-10km per hour.
6. Weighted Heavy Diamond or Stump Jump Harrows: (weighted with 20-30kg per section) at 10-13km/hr. Cross work with combine at 5-7.5cm depth at a speed of 10-13km/hr.
7. Disc Ratoon Cultivator: 2 workings needed with discs and cultivator set at 7.5-13cm depth.
8. Offset or Tandem Disc Harrows: Set at 7.5-15cm depth. A second discing is required working in the opposite direction with discs set to throw treated soil into the tree or vine row.
9. Rotary Hoe: 1 working needed at 5-10cm depth.
10. Offset Discs (Bumpers): 2 workings needed at a depth of 7.5-13cm.
11. Incorporation by Sowing (IBS): On a suitably prepared seedbed with heavy diamond harrows trailing or as a separate operation.
12. Post-sowing/Pre-emergence: Use heavy diamond harrows cross-working at right angles to the direction of sowing. Do not attempt this method of incorporation on poorly prepared, clumpy, or cloddy soils.
13. Incorporation by Sowing (IBS) with knife or blade points: Use press wheels to avoid dragging treated soil back into the seed furrow. Maintain a slow to moderate speed to ensure that soil throw is not into adjacent furrows.

MIXING:

• This product is an emulsifiable concentrate, mixing readily with water.
• Add the recommended amount to the spray tank during the filing operation.
• Apply 70-450L of water/ha (broadcast basis) dependent on soil type.
• Ensure adequate agitation throughout the operation.
• Avoid leaving the spray mixture without agitation for long periods.

CONDITIONS FOR BEST RESULTS:

• Thorough incorporation is crucial.
• Soil should be well-worked and free of weeds at the time of application.
• Product effectiveness may be reduced by factors such as inadequate incorporation, high organic matter, excess clods, crop or trash residues, stones, or other foreign matter.
• Trifluralin is volatile and disappears from exposed surfaces, hastened by high temperature, winds, or warm moist soil.
