GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

Revolver quickly kills a wide range of annual grasses, broadleaf weeds, and some perennial grasses when sprayed directly onto the leaves. The active ingredients are rapidly and tightly absorbed by clay and silt particles in the soil and DO NOT leave any effective soil residues. Crops sown almost immediately after spraying are not affected by the chemicals, nor are weed seeds that germinate after spraying. Where insect pests are anticipated, use recommended insecticide treatment. Regular checks should be made before and after sowing. Suitable residual herbicides can be tank mixed with Revolver to provide extended in-crop weed control in fallows and subsequent crops. Read label recommendations of the respective residual herbicides prior to their use, and observe precautions against the use of residual herbicides before planting susceptible crops. See compatibility statement on this label for compatibility of Revolver with other herbicides.

HERBICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING: GROUP L HERBICIDE. Revolver Herbicide is a member of the bipyridyls group of herbicides with inhibitors of photosynthesis at photosystem I mode of action. For weed resistance management, Revolver is a Group L herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Revolver and other Group L herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by Revolver or other Group L herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Nufarm Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Revolver to control resistant weeds.

APPLICATION: (1) Boomspray:

• Use only through a properly calibrated boomspray fitted with appropriate spray tips and adjusted to a height to give at least double overlap of the spray at the top of the weeds.
• Obtain good spray coverage of the leaf while minimizing production of driftable droplets.
• Adjust spray tips, speed, and pressure to deliver a MEDIUM size droplet.
• Speed of travel should be in the range of 6-10 km/hr.
• Improved results may occur when delta T is less than 8.

PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK:

• Domestic pets and poultry should be kept away from treated areas.
• Low hazard to bees. No special precautions are required.
• This formulation should not be applied on or near water used for livestock watering.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT:

• DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers, or watercourses with the chemical or used containers.
• This formulation should not be applied on or near water used for human consumption, livestock watering, or irrigation purposes, or water used for commercial or recreational fishing.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL:

• Non-refillable containers: Store in a dry, cool, well-ventilated locked room or a place away from children, animals, food, feedstuffs, seed, and fertilizers. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Triple rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to the spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to a recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush, or puncture and deliver empty packaging to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose, clear of waterways, desirable vegetation, and tree roots, in compliance with relevant local, state, or territory government regulations. DO NOT BURN empty containers and product.
• Refillable containers: Store in the closed, original container in a dry, cool, well-ventilated locked room or a place away from children, animals, food, feedstuffs, seed, and fertilizers. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Empty contents fully into application equipment. Close all valves and return to point of supply for refill or storage.

SAFETY DIRECTIONS:

• Very dangerous, particularly the concentrate. Product is poisonous if absorbed by skin contact, inhaled, or swallowed. Will irritate the eyes, nose, throat, and skin. Attacks eyes. Protect eyes while using. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. DO NOT inhale spray mist. When opening the container, preparing the product for use and using the prepared spray, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist, a washable hat, elbow-length PVC gloves, face shield or goggles, half facepiece respirator, or disposable respirator. If clothing becomes contaminated with product, or wet with spray, remove contaminated clothing immediately. If product on the skin, immediately wash the area with soap and water. If product in eyes, wash it out immediately with water. Avoid contact with spray mist. DO NOT inhale spray mist. After use and before eating, drinking, or smoking, wash hands, arms, and face thoroughly with soap and water. After each day’s use, wash gloves, respirator and if rubber wash with detergent and warm water, face shield or goggles and contaminated clothing.

SPRAY APPLICATION:

• DO NOT work in spray mist.
• DO NOT continue to use if skin irritation or nose bleed occurs. Stop and review handling and spraying techniques before further spraying. If symptoms persist, seek medical advice.
• When there is a risk of exposure to spray mist wear waterproof footwear and waterproof protective clothing, impervious gauntlet length gloves (rubber or PVC), goggles and a face mask and respirator covering nose and mouth and capable of filtering spray droplets. A high-efficiency type particulate respirator is recommended, but in any event, use a respirator which complies with the requirement of AS1716 (Standards Association of Australia). Further advice on safety equipment should be obtained from a safety equipment manufacturer.
• Avoid contacting vegetation wet with spray, but if necessary to do so, wear waterproof footwear and waterproof protective clothing and gloves.
