• DO NOT apply by aircraft.

Mixing:

• Fill the spray tank to one quarter full.
• Add Imtrade Metal Gold 960 EC Herbicide while adding water to reach the final spray volume.
• Pour the herbicide into the stream of incoming water with good agitation to ensure thorough mixing.
• When tank mixing, follow the sequence: wettable powder or water dispersible granule formulations first, followed by suspension concentrates (flowables), water-soluble salts, and finally Imtrade Metal Gold 960 EC Herbicide or other emulsifiable concentrate formulations.
• Maintain continuous agitation during mixing and application.
• Do not leave tank-mix spray solution standing in the vat overnight.

• Always test tank mixes before applying commercially.

WEED RESISTANCE WARNING:

• Imtrade Metal Gold 960 EC Herbicide belongs to Group K Herbicides with diverse sites of action.
• Weed resistance may occur due to normal genetic variability in weed populations.
• Imtrade Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for losses resulting from the failure of the herbicide to control resistant weeds.
• Consult local suppliers, consultants, agriculture departments, or Imtrade Australia Pty Ltd representatives for alternative treatments.

PRECAUTIONS:

• Cotton: Do not use when planting into dry soil or soil with marginal moisture. Heavy rain or flood irrigation soon after planting, along with below-average soil temperatures, can cause crop injury.
• Brassica Crops: Crop retardation may occur on soils with low organic matter and more than 60% fine sand and silt. Apply towards the lower end of the rate range on these soil types and limit irrigation after application.
• Zero-tillage (Canola, Barley, Oats, Wheat, Triticale): If sowing with zero-tillage, apply Imtrade Metal Gold 960 EC Herbicide immediately before sowing or till in the seeding slot before application.
• Conduct a small-scale test on the crop to assess safety before applying to larger areas.
• Avoid applying the herbicide on sandy-sandy loam soils with low organic matter.

Re-entry Period:

• DO NOT enter treated areas until the spray has dried.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS:

• DO NOT plant crops other than Maize, Sweet Corn, Tobacco, Cotton, Soybeans, Sunflowers, Peanuts, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbages, Cauliflowers, or Concep® II treated Sorghum within 6 months of application.

DRIFT WARNING:

• DO NOT apply under conditions or from equipment that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants, crops, or pastures.

PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK:

• DO NOT graze or cut Sweet Potato leaves for stock food.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS, AND ENVIRONMENT:
