GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

MIXING Partly fill the spray tank with water. Start agitation. Add the correct amount of OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE to the spray tank with the agitation system running. When tank-mixing with paraquat, ensure that OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE is added to the spray mixture first, followed by paraquat to ensure thorough mixing. Continue agitation while topping up the tank with water and while spraying. Use prepared spray mixture on the day of preparation. DO NOT allow the spray mixture to stand overnight.

TANK MIXTURES Read and follow all label directions, including restraints, spray drift restraints, mandatory no-spray zones, critical comments, withholding periods, regional use restrictions, and safety directions for the tank mix product.

APPLICATION Sugarcane: Apply in a minimum spray volume of 250 L/ha. For best results, flat fan nozzles are recommended. Select the lowest pressure (within the recommended nozzle operating range) to reduce drift. Use a nozzle size that delivers a medium to coarse droplet at the selected operating pressure.

OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE can be applied to hot and dry soils without the risk of breakdown by sunlight. This ultraviolet stability removes the need for immediate soil incorporation of the product. OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE is activated by rainfall or irrigation, which is required to carry the herbicide into the root zone of the germinating weeds. Deep germinating weeds (e.g., Wild Radish) may not be adequately controlled in years where rainfall is low (<15 mm).

Weed escapes may occur after spraying OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE if weed germination occurs before the chemical is activated OR carried to the depth of the weed root zone. Under prolonged dry conditions, a greater quantity of rainfall or irrigation may be required for effective activation of the product. Under these conditions, shoots of germinating weeds may intercept the OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE band and appear affected but may not be controlled. Weeds that do not turn completely white within days of emergence must be sprayed with an appropriate knockdown herbicide.

To avoid weed escapes, it is recommended to allow weeds to germinate, and then apply OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE in a tank mixture with paraquat at an appropriate label rate to provide additional weed knockdown.

Soil movement from irrigation or cultivation may result in poor weed control from OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE. DO NOT incorporate OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE by flood irrigation or with high-pressure water cannons if excessive soil movement is expected, particularly if the soil is in a loose, dry condition. Best results are achieved where rainfall or low-pressure overhead irrigation carries the herbicide downward in an even band to the depth of the weed root zone.

COMPATIBILITY Sugarcane: OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE may be tank-mixed with paraquat formulations at the appropriate label rates for each product. OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE may be tank-mixed with diuron (900 g/kg) at the rate recommended in the ‘Directions for Use’ table on this label. OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE is also compatible with atrazine (900 g/kg) and ACTRIL DS (apply no more than 500 mL/ha in combination with OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE).

Chickpeas: OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE should not be tank-mixed with trifluralin.

SPRAY EQUIPMENT CLEAN-UP To avoid injury or exposure to non-target crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment, including pumps, nozzles, lines, and screens with a good-quality tank cleaner immediately after using OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE. Before disassembling nozzles, filters, and other parts for cleaning, thoroughly wash down the exterior of the spray equipment with a pressure hose. A more rigorous cleaning process is recommended, particularly before spraying very sensitive crops (e.g., canola).

To rinse: After cleaning the tank as above, quarter-fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses, and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice.

To clean: Empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Without entering it, thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose. Alternatively, if the tank is fitted with in-tank rinse nozzles, activate these nozzles to thoroughly rinse the inside of the tank. Drain the tank and clean any tank, pump, line, and nozzle filters.

To decontaminate: Quarter-fill the tank and add a liquid alkali detergent at 500 mL/100 L of water or a chlorine bleach (4% chlorine) at 300 mL/100 L of water and circulate throughout the system for at least fifteen minutes. Drain the whole system. Nozzles, screens, relief valves, dump lines, caps, and taps at the end of spray lines, tank lids, flow meters, lines to pressure gauges, external tank indicators, induction hoppers, and transfer systems should be removed/pulled apart and cleaned separately. Pay special attention to by-pass lines from pressure relief or dump valves to the main tank. To remove chlorine bleach, flush the system with clean water and allow draining. Finally, flush the system with clean water and allow draining.

Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and their roots, and watercourses.

RESISTANCE WARNING GROUP H HERBICIDE OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE is a member of the isoxazole group of herbicides. OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE is a herbicide that inhibits 4-hydroxyphenyl-pyruvate dioxygenase (4-HPPD). For weed resistance management, OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE is a Group H herbicide.

Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE and other Group H 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 OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE or other Group H herbicides.

Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, OZCROP Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of OZCROP ISOXAFLUTOLE 750 WG HERBICIDE to control resistant weeds.

Precautions: Re-entry period: DO NOT allow entry into treated areas for 12 hours after treatment. When prior entry is necessary, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical-resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

Protections: PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS, AND ENVIRONMENT DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers, or waterways with this product or the used containers, as this product may cause injury to non-target plants and vegetation, particularly aquatic plants and algae.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, which could be expected to cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands, or pastures.

Storage and Disposal: Store in the closed, original container in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Triple or preferably pressure rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to the spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on-site. If recycling, replace the cap and return clean containers to the recycler or designated collection point.

If not recycling, break, crush, or puncture and deliver empty packaging for appropriate disposal to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation, and tree roots, in compliance with relevant Local, State, or Territory government regulations.
