GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Mixing
KELPIE MCPA/ PICLORAM HERBICIDE can be mixed with water only. Mix only sufficient chemical for each day’s use and avoid storing mix. Half fill the spray tank with water and add the required quantity of KELPIE MCPA/ PICLORAM HERBICIDE and complete filling.
Agitate continuously to ensure thorough mixing before and during application.
Tank mixtures: Wettable powder or dry flowable formulations (e.g. water dispersible granules) should be added to the spray tank first, followed by suspension concentrates (flowables), water soluble salts and then emulsifiable concentrate formulations (e.g. fluroxypyr 200 g/L). Add spraying oils and surfactants (wetters) last, if required.

Compatibility
KELPIE MCPA/ PICLORAM HERBICIDE is compatible with the following: (Read and follow all label directions, restraints, plant-back periods, withholding periods and safety directions on the partner label as well as those on the KELPIE MCPA/ PICLORAM HERBICIDE label.) Broadleaf Herbicides: metosulam 100 g/L, clopyralid 300g/L, MCPA amine, MCPA LVE, metsulfuron-methyl, fluroxypyr 200 g/L, 2,4-D amine Grass Herbicides: diclofop-methyl 375 g/L (Annual Ryegrass only), Topik*240EC (Wild oats and Phalaris only)
Adjuvants: non-ionic surfactants 1000 g/L (when mixed with metsulfuron-methy), Uptake*
Spraying oil (when mixed with Topik*240EC)
Insecticides: omethoate 290 g/L, dimethoate 400 g/L
KELPIE MCPA/ PICLORAM HERBICIDE is not compatible with zinc products (such as zinc dextrase and zinc heptahydrate), copper salts (such as sulphate) and manganese sulphate.
DO NOT use with hard water or water clarified with alum.

Application Methods
A. Ground Application (Boom): Apply KELPIE MCPA/ PICLORAM HERBICIDE with an accurately calibrated boom sprayer, in at least 50 L/ha water. DO NOT apply with smaller than medium to coarse spray droplets according to the ASABE S572 definition for standard nozzles. Set the boom at height to ensure a double overlap of the nozzle pattern.
B. Arial Application: Apply a minimum volume of 35 L/ha water. Use equipment calibrated.
DO NOT apply with smaller than medium to coarse spray droplets according to the ASABE S572 definition for standard nozzles. DO NOT apply KELPIE MCPA/ PICLORAM HERBICIDE by aircraft unless wind speed is more than 3 km/hr and less than 15 km/hr as measured at the application site and/or the air temperature is above 30ºC, or when the wind is blowing towards susceptible crops.

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto wasteland away from desirable plants and water courses.
Rinsing: After using KELPIE MCPA/ PICLORAM HERBICIDE, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the spray unit using a pressure hose.
Drain and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice.
Decontamination (before spraying cotton and other sensitive crops; see PROTECTION OF CROPS): Wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Then quarter fill the tank and add alkali detergent (e.g. liquid SURF*, OMO* or DRIVE*) at 500 mL/ 100L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100L and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. Drain the whole system. Remove the filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow to drain.
