LOBAK Selective Herbicide - General Instructions

Application Guidelines:

1. LOBAK is a post-emergence contact herbicide effective against wild radish.
2. Apply immediately after mixing; do not allow it to stand in the spray tank overnight.
3. Optimal results are achieved with good soil moisture, and application to unstressed weeds.
4. Certain pre-emergence herbicides, like atrazine, may cause stress in crops like lucerne and subterranean clover, leading to increased damage.

Resistant Weeds Warning:

• LOBAK belongs to the nitrile and nicotinanilide groups (Group C, F herbicide) and inhibits photosynthesis.
• Some weed biotypes may be naturally resistant, leading to dominance if herbicides are used repeatedly.
• Kenso Corporation accepts no liability for losses resulting from LOBAK's failure to control resistant weeds.

Temperature Warning:

• Do not apply LOBAK if frosts are imminent, as frost may stress crops and weeds, increasing crop effects and decreasing weed control.
• Avoid application when maximum daily temperatures exceed 20°C, or are likely to occur shortly after application, to prevent increased crop damage.

Crop Tolerance: Cereals:

• Transient crop yellowing may occur but generally won't affect crop development and growth unless crops are stressed by other factors.

Lucerne:

• Tolerance varies; application before the 8 trifoliate leaf stage is recommended.
• Crop yellowing and growth suppression may occur but usually recover under normal growing conditions.

Subterranean Clover:

• Tolerance varies; apply before the 8 trifoliate leaf stage.
• Initial yellowing and growth suppression may happen, but subsequent growth and seed yield are usually unaffected under normal conditions.

Other Clovers:

• Tolerance varies; apply before the 8 trifoliate leaf stage.
• Initial yellowing and growth suppression may occur; exercise caution with sensitive clover varieties.

Subsequent Crops:

• Thoroughly cultivate soil before sowing susceptible crops (e.g., canola) to reduce LOBAK's effect on them.

MIXING:

• Half-fill the spray tank with clean water.
• Add the required LOBAK amount and agitate thoroughly during spray operations.
• Reseal partially used containers immediately after use.
