For the control of certain broadleaf weeds in winter cereals and clover as specified in Directions for Use Table

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
RESTRAINTS
DO NOT apply to crops or weeds which are stressed due to dry or excessively moist conditions.
DO NOT apply to crops under stress due to disease or insect damage.
DO NOT apply to frost affected crops or if frosts are imminent.
DO NOT apply when heavy rain is expected within 4 hours.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Tolerance
Some pre-emergence herbicides, such as atrazine, can cause stress to certain crops resulting in an increase in crop damage when using this product. Sub-clover is particularly sensitive.
Cereals
After application some transient crop yellowing may occur. This usually appears as yellow or white banding on leaves. Provided the crop is not under stress from pre-emergent herbicide, root disease, insect damage, frost, dry or excessively moist conditions, the development of the crop and subsequent growth will be unaffected.
Warning (Oats)
The tolerance of varieties Esk and Nile (the two main varieties grown in Tasmania) to NicanM has not been tested. Test a small area of crop before using Nican-M over large areas. Consult your local UPL Australia Limited representative for advice on specific varieties.
Pasture
The tolerance of clover varieties to Nican-M can vary with rate of application, soil type, crop health, stage of growth and degree of moisture and temperature stress.
Warning
Nican-M may result in transient crop yellowing and suppression of growth with a resultant initial reduction in dry matter, particularly at rates in excess of 500 mL/ha and in areas of double spray. For this reason application is recommended prior to the 8th trifoliate leaf stage. However, at the lower rates (500 mL/ha and less) and under normal growing conditions, subsequent growth and seed yield should not be affected.
Under normal growing conditions, the following varieties have shown acceptable levels of foliage tolerance to Nican-M applied at 500 mL/ha:
ArrowLeaf: Zulu
Balansa: Paradana
Berseem: Sacromonte
Persian: Kyambro, Lupers, Maral
White: Haifa
Subterranean Clover: Daliak, Dalkeith, Denmark, Esperance, Geraldton, Goulburn, Karridale, Larissa, Leura, Mt. Barker, Nungarin, Rosedale, Seaton Park, Trikkala and Woogenellup. The effects of Nican-M on clover seed yield have been tested on the following varieties. Under normal growing conditions they show levels of tolerance to Nican-M applied at 500 mL/ha
Subterranean Clover: Esperance, Goulburn, Larissa, Seaton Park and Trikkala.
Warning
Rose and Strawberry clover have shown increased sensitivity to Nican-M. Nican-M may affect the seed of yield of subterranean variety Woogenellup. Some pasture grasses, including Phalaris and Cocksfoot, may show some initial reduction in vegetative growth after application of Nican-M. Care should be exercised if sensitive clover varieties or grasses are included in the pasture sward. Varieties not listed should be tested before using Nican-M over large areas. Consult your local UPL Australia Limited representative for advice on specific varieties.
Subsequent Crops
To reduce effect on susceptible crops (e.g. canola); ensure thorough cultivation of soil prior to the sowing of these crops.
Mixing
To ensure even mixing, half fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required amount of product. Agitate thoroughly then add the remainder of the water. Agitate again before spraying commences. Reseal part-used product container immediately after use. Spray mixtures containing Nican-M should not be left to stand overnight. Prolonged periods of exposure to cold temperature could result in settling out of the product in the mixture.
Warning
The rubber components present in some spraying units may be affected by exposure to the solvents in Nican-M and some other agricultural products. To reduce the risk it is recommended that the spray unit be thoroughly washed with a boom cleaner and fresh water after use. Contact the spray unit manufacturer to determine the suitability of the rubber components for use with agricultural products.
Application
Boom Sprayer: A minimum of 50 L of water per hectare should be used, however, for optimum results water rates of 70-100 L/ha are recommended. Increase the water volume if weed infestation is heavy or crop cover is dense. Complete coverage of weeds is essential. Aircraft (NSW, Vic, SA only): Apply in a minimum of 30 L water per hectare. Effective control will only be achieved where good coverage of leaf surface is achieved.
