Ovation is for Post-emergent Control of Annual Ryegrass, Common Barbgrass and Wild Oats in Wheat, Linseed, Peas and other Crops.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Results are best under good growing conditions and application to weeds or crop under stress (eg. due to continuous severe frosts, dry or waterlogged conditions) should be avoided. Wild oats germinating after application will often be stunted and will not seriously compete with the crop. Application to crops with a covering of frost or dew has been successful but should be avoided in general. Current indications are that spray mixture may be left overnight without loss of efficiency, if spraying cannot be completed. However, it is not recommended that this be general practice.

MIXING
Add the required quantity of Ovation directly to the spray tank when about two-thirds full. Top up with water to required volume, with agitators in motion. Where wetting agents are recommended, add just before tank is full of water to avoid excessive frothing.

APPLICATION
Aim to apply Ovation to base of weeds to ensure penetration.

COMPATIBILITY
1. For broadleaf weed control in wheat, barley, triticale and rye, the following compatibilities are indicated. Ovation may be mixed with the following products without a significant loss of activity: Bromoxynil, Lontrel (up to 150mL/ha), dimethoate, omethoate and phosmet. Ovation may be mixed with the following products, but some loss of grass weed control and/or speed of kill should be expected: Bromoxynil + MCPA (Homyx), Tigrex (max. 800 mL/ha), MCPA LVE (max. 700 mL/ha). Ovation may be mixed with the following products, but some loss of wild oat control should be expected: Jaguar (up to 750 mL/ha), Eclipse (up to 7 g/ha).
2. When mixing with broadleaf herbicides and Howet surfactant at the rate of 250 mL per 100 L of spray solution. Reductions in grass weed control (as indicated above) can be minimised by using a minimum of 80 L of water per has by ground and 30 L by air, and if wild oats are present, use 2.0 L Ovation/ha (except barley). Do not use Homyx at rates above 1.4 L/ha when mixing with Ovation.
3. Ovation and Decoy are physically compatible but when this mixture is used a significant reduction in grass weed control can be expected. Add wetting agent to this mixture for Ovation at recommended rates. Consult company representatives for further advice.
4. Allow at least 10 days between any application of Ovation and other herbicides containing 2, 4-D, MCPA, dicamba or other similar sprays, which should preferably follow Ovation.
5. For use in oilseed poppies in Tasmania only: Ovation may be mixed with pesticides as recommended by the Department of Agriculture or the poppy contracting company.
6. Where phalaris is present, Ovation and Puma S may be applied together at the respective recommended rates. Wetting agent should be added to this mixture at the rate recommended on the Ovation label.
