For the early post-emergence control of certain annual grass and broadleaf weeds in Imidazolinone herbicide tolerant canola.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Crop Care Intercept® Herbicide is for use in Imidazolinone herbicide tolerant canola. These varieties have been bred specifically to be tolerant to Imidazolinone herbicide.
Intercept® Herbicide is absorbed through the leaves, green stems and roots of susceptible weeds and moved from the point of contact throughout the plant. Weeds will either die or will remain stunted and will not compete with the crop. Symptoms of kill may take one to two weeks to develop with death occurring up to one month from treatment. Symptoms first appear at the growth points where young foliage becomes discoloured and distorted before dying.
Intercept® Herbicide is primarily a post-emergence product. Best results will be achieved when good contact and coverage of weeds occurs and weeds are actively growing. The product must be mixed with Supercharge Elite, Hasten, Banjo or Kwickin* as per the Directions for Use.
Intercept® Herbicide also has some residual soil activity under good soil moisture conditions although limited at the low rate. Residual effects on weeds can be reduced when dry soil conditions follow application before the herbicide has moved to the root zone. Best results will be achieved when application is made to moist soil or if approximately 10mm rain follows within several days of application.
Vigorous crop growth will assist in suppressing weeds not completely killed and those germinating later.

MIXING
Intercept Herbicide is a water-soluble liquid (SL) formulation. Pour the required amount of the product into a spray tank containing almost the total amount of water required. Mix thoroughly. If Intercept Herbicide is added early during filling, foaming may occur. If excessive foaming becomes a problem, add a silicone based antifoaming agent at the manufacturers recommended rate. DO NOT use a suction probe unless the antifoaming agent has already been added to the spray tank water. Consult your distributor for specific information on suitable antifoaming agents. When tank mixing this product with other recommended compatible products, first add the other product(s) to the tank and mix thoroughly before adding Intercept Herbicide.
Slowly add the adjuvant to the tank last, in at least 10 times its volume of water to minimise the likelihood of a reverse emulsion forming.
Intercept Herbicide may be applied in hard or soft water. The product is corrosive to mild steel. Use ONLY stainless steel, fibreglass, plastic or plastic-lined containers for mixing, storage and application.

APPLICATION
DO NOT apply by aircraft.
Apply in minimum 70L water per hectare. When the crop is very leafy or when the total weed population exceeds 200 plants/m2 , apply in a minimum of 100L water per hectare to improve contact and coverage. Intercept Herbicide should be applied a minimum of two hours before rainfall or irrigation. If tank-mixed with other products, follow recommendations for the mixing partner should these extend beyond two hours.

COMPATIBILITY
Intercept Herbicide is compatible with Achieve* Herbicide, Archer 750 Herbicide, Bromicide 200, Bromicide MA, Factor Herbicide, Havoc Herbicide, Le-Mat* 290SL Insecticide, Mascot Duo Insecticide, Select* Herbicide and Transit Herbicide. A three-way mix of Transit, Havoc and Intercept is compatible. Other simultaneous mixes have not been tested.
Intercept Herbicide is compatible with the following adjuvants: Banjo, Hasten*, Kwickin* and Supercharge Elite – seek advice from your Crop Care representative.
DO NOT tank mix with foliar fertilizers.
All tank mixes are chemically stable over a 24-hour period. In the event of delayed spraying, store tank load out of direct sunlight and maintain agitation if possible. Mixes with Transit and Havoc are also biologically stable over a 24-hour delay. Biological stability of other mixes is unknown.
