GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Farmalinx MACHO DUO Weedkiller contains a non-selective contact herbicide, nonanoic acid, and a contact residual herbicide, oxyfluorfen. Nonanoic acid acts on foliage, causing rapid dehydration and collapse, visible as browning and wilting usually within hours of application. Oxyfluorfen provides residual control of weeds for up to 3 months.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING Farmalinx MACHO DUO Weedkiller is a Group 14 Herbicide, inhibiting protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO inhibitors). Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to MACHO DUO and other Group 14 herbicides may exist, potentially dominating weed populations if these herbicides are overused. Employ integrated weed management practices to mitigate resistance.

MIXING

  • Half-fill the spray tank and begin agitation.

  • Slowly add the required amount of MACHO DUO.

  • Top up with the required quantity of water.

  • Agitate well before commencing the spray procedure. Do not mix more than needed.

APPLICATION

  • Ensure complete coverage of all weed foliage, as MACHO DUO is a contact spray only. Partial coverage will yield partial control.

  • Apply using ground equipment only, such as boom or spot sprayers.

  • Use a coarse droplet spray. Optimal application volumes depend on weed maturity and density.

  • Complete and thorough coverage of foliage is essential for control. For established weeds and higher weed density, use a suitable wetter.

  • Avoid spraying porous surfaces without prior testing, as it may cause discoloration.

PRECAUTIONS

  • Wear eye protection when mixing or using.

  • Re-entry period for the general public: Do not enter treated areas until the spray has dried.

  • Re-entry period for occupational users: Do not enter treated areas until the spray has dried, unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Clothing must be laundered after each day's use.
