FIELD PEAS
Weeds controlled: Prickly Lettuce (Lactuca serriola)
State: NSW, Vic, Tas, SA only
Rate / ha:
Weed Stage: 4 leaf, 80 mL plus 125 mL Bonanza® Elite

State: NSW, Vic, Tas, SA only
Rate / ha:
Weed Stage: 4 leaf, 80 mL plus 125 mL Bonanza Elite
Weed Stage: 6 leaf, 100 mL plus 150 mL Bonanza Elite

Critical comments: FIELD PEAS: Apply early post-emergence after the third node stage and before the start of flowering.
Warning: Field peas grown on high pH soils in the presence of free lime may be less tolerant to Bonanza Elite.
APPLICATION AND WEED CONTROL: Apply when weeds are actively growing. For optimum results apply 4 to 6 weeks postsowing.
Application beyond 8 weeks post-sowing may result in reduced levels of weed control. In most situations the rate specified for
each weed size will give satisfactory control. Under certain conditions such as:
- high crop and weed density,
- late season germinations,
- abnormal weed growth (including early flowering); higher rates of product (up to the maximum rate of application specified for that weed) may be required.
Bonanza Elite will not effectively control:
- regrowth of suppressed weeds,
- transplanted weeds,
- regrowth from rhizomes or roots,
- weeds growing under stress from previous herbicide applications.

State: Qld only
Rate / ha: 460 mL-1.45 L

State: NSW, ACT, Vic, SA, Tas only
Rate / ha: 460-730 mL

Critical comments: Apply when crop is 10-15 cm tall with at least 170 L/ha of water.

Use 970 L/ha at 45 days or more after cereal sowing (3 tillers or more per rice plant). The crop should be sprayed before flowering of the weeds.
Water Management: Before herbicide application, lower water level in the bays to at least two thirds of the weed growth for direct contact with MCPA 750. Weeds covered by water will not be controlled. Raise water depth to normal levels 24 hours following spraying.

FLAX
Weeds controlled: Refer to Weed Table
State: Vic, Tas only
Rate / ha: 325 mL
Critical comments: Apply to crop when 8-20 cm high.

GRASS PASTURES

Weeds controlled: Capeweed, Dandelion, Seedling Dock, Three Corner Jack, Geranium, Erodium, Mustard, Annual Thistles, Turnip Weed, Wild Radish, Wild Turnip
State: SA only
Rate / ha: 330 mL

Weeds controlled: Soldier Thistle
State: SA only
Rate / ha: 395 mL

Critical comments: Spray actively growing 6-8 weeks old weeds. Introduce stock 7-10 days after spraying, preferably sheep as cattle are less effective.
Use stocking rate at least 5 times heavier than normal until weeds have been reduced but before survival of desirable pasture species is threatened. Lucerne and medics may be damaged and should be grazed short before spraying. See “Legume Tolerance” under General Instructions.
Precaution: An increased quantity of poisonous plants may be eaten by stock using spray/graze e.g. Caltrop, Capeweed, Paterson’s Curse and Variegated Thistle and deaths could result from causes such as nitrate poisoning. With Paterson’s Curse, preferably graze stock soon destined for slaughter and avoid extended periods of grazing.
Avoid grazing with young or breeding stock.
DO NOT graze horses or pigs on Paterson’s Curse.
Observe withholding period of at least 7 days after spraying.

Weeds controlled: Refer to Weed Table
State: All States
Critical comments: Use 130 mL/100 L of water for easy to kill weeds such as Wild Turnip, Mustards and Wild Radish. Use 270 mL/100 L of water for more difficult to control weeds such as Docks, Hoary Cress and Bindweed.

Situation: Knapsack Application
Weeds controlled: Refer to Weed Table
State: All States
Critical comments: Use 13 mL/10 L of water for easy to kill weeds such as Wild Turnip, Mustards and Wild Radish. Use 27 mL/10 L of water for more difficult to control weeds such as Docks, Hoary Cress and Bindweed.

NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION.

WITHHOLDING PERIOD:
CEREALS, PASTURE: DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT STOCK FOOD FOR 7 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION.
HARVEST WITHHOLDING PERIOD: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED.

WEED TABLE:
Where weeds are to be sprayed in a crop or pasture situation, use only the rate given for the particular crop or situation indicated under the Directions for Use table. In most cases this will give control, however some hard to kill weeds or those in advanced stages of growth may only be suppressed. The rates listed in the Weed Table below are for use where weeds only are present and no crop or pasture is involved. Use at these rates in a crop or pasture other than for spot spraying may cause damage. This product should only be used in those States where a rate or range of rates is indicated for the particular weeds listed.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Weeds should be sprayed while actively growing and at their most susceptible stage. As a general guide, annuals should be sprayed when young and perennials just prior to appearance of bud stage. Extremes of cold or drought are unfavourable. The best conditions are when the soil is moist, weather fine and rain unlikely within 6 hours following application.
DO NOT spray crops or weeds outside the stages indicated in ‘Critical Comments’ as damage, loss of yield or inadequate weed control may result. DO NOT spray in high winds.

APPLICATION/MIXING INFORMATION
This product mixes readily with water. Half fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required amount of product. Agitate
thoroughly before adding the remaining water.
BOOM SPRAYING
- Use 30-120 litres of water per hectare.
- Use minimum of 170 litres water per hectare for LINSEED.
AERIAL SPRAYING
- Use 10 - 90 litres water per hectare.

EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND USAGE
Equipment that has been used for this chemical should not be used for the application of other materials to sensitive plants unless it has been cleaned with Spraymate Tank and Equipment Cleaner or well washed out with a 2% solution of cloudy ammonia followed by several clear water rinses.

Resistant Weeds Warning
Adama MCPA 750 Herbicide is a member of the Phenoxy group of herbicides. This product has the disruptors of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management this product is a Group I Herbicide.
Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to this product and other Group I 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 this product or other Group I herbicides.
Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Adama Australia Pty. Ltd. accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds.

COMPATIBILITY/TANK MIXES
This product can be tank mixed with Lynx, Banvel*, Bromicide*, Diuron, Victory, Sertin*, Sprayseed*, Flowable Terbutryn, Tordon* and Tribunil*. The effectiveness of Imidan*, Le Mat*, Metasystox* and Dimethoate may be reduced by alkaline hydrolysis if tank mixed with this product. For these situations the addition of Spraybuff or Spraymate L1-700 is recommended. When tank mixing add the required amount of compatible product (and surfactant if recommended) when the spray tank is nearly full and while continuously agitating. If left overnight, agitate thoroughly before spraying.
