RELYON METRIBUZIN 750 WG HERBICIDE is non-corrosive to equipment, non-flammable, and non-volatile. The degree of weed control and duration of effect will vary with the amount of herbicide applied, soil texture, rainfall, and other conditions.

CROP SAFETY

• Barley: DO NOT apply to crops grown on sandy soils or soils low in organic matter.

• Peas (field & green):

  • DO NOT apply to Laura, Pennant, or White Brunswick varieties as phytotoxicity may occur.

  • DO NOT apply any later than the one node stage to Alma and Dinkum peas.

  • DO NOT spray pea crops in soils or areas where collar or stem rot is likely to occur.

• Potatoes:

  • DO NOT apply to crops grown on sandy soils as injury to the crops may result, appearing as chlorosis or minor necrosis.

  • DO NOT apply to Kurell potatoes as phytotoxicity may occur.

  • DO NOT apply to Alantic and Ponitiac varieties – WA only.

  • DO NOT use on dry-grown, non-irrigated crops.

• Soybeans:

  • DO NOT use on varieties Cannapolis, Hill, and Semstar as crop injury may occur.

  • DO NOT use on soils with a calcareous surface layer as crop injury may occur.

  • DO NOT apply over atrazine residues as crop injury may result.

  • DO NOT apply in combination with soil-applied organophosphate insecticides as crop injury may result.

  • DO NOT apply to soils with less than 0.5% organic matter as crop injury may result.

  • DO NOT apply to dryland soybeans.

  • DO NOT apply to soils of pH greater than 8 that are prone to waterlogging as crop injury may occur.

• Lupins:

  • DO NOT apply to varieties Danja, Kiev Mutant, or Albus Lupins.

  • DO NOT apply to Lupin crops that have received 2.5 litres or more of Simazine pre-seeding or lupin crops that are showing symptoms of Simazine or Atrazine damage.

MIXING AND APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY
RELYON METRIBUZIN 750 WG HERBICIDE is compatible with the herbicides: chlorsulfuron, metsulfuron, glyphosate, pendimethalin, propargite, diflufenican, and trifluralin 480.

MIXING
Before spraying, calibrate equipment to determine the quantity of water necessary to uniformly cover the measured area to be treated. Partially fill the tank with water. Measure the amount of herbicide required for the area to be sprayed, adding this amount of RELYON METRIBUZIN 750 WG HERBICIDE to the spray tank with the agitation system engaged. Top up to the correct volume with water. THE MATERIAL MUST BE KEPT IN SUSPENSION AT ALL TIMES BY CONTINUOUS AGITATION. In tank mixes, RELYON METRIBUZIN 750 WG HERBICIDE must be in suspension before adding the companion herbicide or liquid fertilizer.

APPLICATION

• Best results are obtained if treatment is made to moist soil and moisture is supplied by rainfall or sprinkler irrigation (6-12mm) within 2 weeks after application.

• Aerial Application (Qld only):

  • Peas: apply in a minimum of 20 liters water per hectare.

  • Potatoes: apply in a minimum of 50 liters water per hectare. Avoid overlapping of spray swath, Avoid spraying in still conditions and in wind likely to cause drift.

• Pre-emergence and Post-emergence (to crop):

  • RELYON METRIBUZIN 750 WG HERBICIDE should not be applied when weeds are in the young seedling stage (no more than 3 true leaves).

  • Under dry conditions, there is no root uptake of RELYON METRIBUZIN 750 WG HERBICIDE, and results against grass weeds and Wireweed (Hogweed) will be poor.

  • Except for small areas, use fixed boom power sprayers set at 200-300kPa (for tomatoes do not exceed 200kPa) and fitted with fan nozzles. Apply a minimum of 80L-100L prepared spray/ha.

  • Openings in screens should be equal to or larger than 50 mesh. Agitate by mechanical or hydraulic means in the spray tank. When spraying, avoid overlapping. Shut off spray booms while starting turning, slowing, or stopping; otherwise, crop injury may result.

• Pre-plant incorporated - Soybeans only:

  • RELYON METRIBUZIN 750 WG HERBICIDE alone or in combination with Trifluralin 480: Spray anytime from 4 weeks before sowing until just before sowing.

  • Use fixed boom power sprayers set at 200-300 kPa and fixed with fan nozzles. Use 120-500 liters water per hectare. Openings in screens should be equal to or larger than 80 mesh.

  • Agitate by mechanical or hydraulic means in the spray tank. When spraying, avoid overlapping. Shut off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing, and stopping; otherwise, crop injury may result.

• RELYON METRIBUZIN 750 WG HERBICIDE plus Trifluralin 480: After spraying, mix soil within 4 hours. Spray and incorporate during the one operation if possible.

SPRAYER CLEANUP
Thoroughly clean all traces of RELYON METRIBUZIN 750 WG HERBICIDE/or trifluralin 480 from application equipment immediately after use. Flush tank, pump, hoses, and boom with several changes of water after removing nozzle tips and screens (clean these parts separately).
