GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Uses: The product is a short residual, pre-emergent herbicide for the control of many important annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in the crops nominated. The product does not control the important broadleaf weeds in maize and sweet corn but, when mixed with Flowable Atrazine, control of many important annual weeds and grasses is obtained without the problem of carryover of herbicides affecting succeeding crops. The product acts mainly through shoot (coleoptile) absorption. Its effectiveness depends on the occurrence of rainfall or irrigation to move it down into the top 3 to 4 cm of soil, where it must be present at the time of weed germination.

Application:

• Ground Application: Apply in a minimum of 60 L/ha of water. DO NOT apply by aircraft.

Mixing: Fill the spray tank to one quarter full. Then add Conquest Metolamax Gold Herbicide while adding water to make up the final spray volume. Pour Conquest Metolamax Gold Herbicide into the stream of incoming water. Good agitation at the time Conquest Metolamax Gold Herbicide is added to the tank will ensure good mixing. When Tank Mixing: wettable powder or water dispersible granule formulations should be added to the tank first, followed by suspension concentrates (flowables), water soluble salts then SMETOLAMAX 960 or other emulsifiable concentrate formulations. Maintain thorough agitation during mixing and application. Agitate tank mixes vigorously if allowed to stand. Note: Tank mix spray solution should NOT be left standing in the vat overnight.

Compatibility: METOLAMAX GOLD is compatible with Flowable Cotogard®, Flowable Cotoran®, Flowable Gesagard®, Flowable Atrazine, Conquest Atraquest Rival, Basagran*, Conquest Scorcher and Conquest Knockout*.

WARNING - Cotton: DO NOT use when planting into dry soil or soil with marginal moisture. Under dry planting conditions heavy rain or flood irrigation soon after planting, together with below average soil temperatures, can result in crop injury due to the inability of the germinating seedling to metabolise above normal amounts of the herbicide that may accumulate in the root zone as a result of accelerated capillary movement. Conquest Metolamax Gold Herbicide should not be used in situations where these conditions are likely to occur.

WARNING - Brassica Crops: Crop retardation may occur where Conquest Metolamax Gold Herbicide is used on soils that have a low organic matter content and which contain more than 60% of fine sand and silt. On these soil types, use rates of Conquest Metolamax Gold Herbicide towards the lower end of the rate range and apply onto moist soil. Irrigation after application should be limited to no more than 25 mm. DO NOT use more than once per year.

Zero Tillage (Canola, Barley, Oats, Wheat, Triticale): When sowing using knife points and zero tillage, and leaving a seeding slot, DO NOT apply post-seeding unless harrows (or similar) have filled in the seeding slot before application. Alternatively, apply Conquest Metolamax Gold Herbicide immediately before seeding.
