GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - Ox 240 Herbicide

Product Description:

• Selective herbicide for controlling certain annual grasses and broadleaf weeds.

• Suitable for use in dormant apples, grapes, peaches, pears, plums, apricots, almonds, macadamia, duboisia, tobacco, coffee, pyrethrum, winter cereals, tropical/subtropical crops, brassicas, onions, Eucalyptus, Pinus spp., and other forestry trees.

Application Areas:

• Applied to weed-free soil or seedling weeds at 4 to 6 true leaf stage.

• Provides weed control for up to 6 months.

• Spot treatment may be required for escape weeds and perennial grasses.

Surfactant Addition:

• When applied to seedling weeds, add non-ionic surfactant or Ken-Wett 1000 at the recommended rate to enhance activity.

Utilization with Knockdown Herbicides:

• Low rates can be used to improve the weed spectrum of knockdown herbicides.

Crop Tolerance:

• Tolerated by Duboisia seedlings and mature plants.

• Eucalypt and pine transplants and established trees can tolerate "over-the-top" applications.

Timing:

• Apply to the soil surface before weed emergence.

• For optimum residual control, apply after all other agricultural operations are completed.

• Area should be left undisturbed during the desired weed control period.

• Spot treatment may be necessary for escape weeds and perennial grasses.

MIXING:

• Shake well before use.

• Fill spray tank one-third full with clean water.

• Add Ox 240 with the pump and agitator running.

• Complete filling the spray tank.

• Add non-ionic surfactant if required, minimizing foaming.

• Tank mixing with other herbicides should follow specific label instructions.

Application:

• Ground spray directed at the base of crop plants.

• Use low-pressure herbicide sprayer with flat fan or hollow cone nozzle.

• Ensure thorough coverage of weed foliage and soil surface.

• Use higher water volumes for high weed density.

Crop Safety:

• Apply as directed around dormant peach, plum, apricot, almond, apple, and pear trees, and grape vines.

• Rates greater than 1.0 L/ha should be applied to trees and grapevines at least 3 years of age.

• Avoid application once bud swell has occurred at rates greater than 1.0 L/ha.

• Duboisia seedlings tolerate "over-the-top" applications.

• 75 mL/ha rate can be applied before sowing winter cereals.

Compatibility:

• Compatible with various herbicides including Credit, Bonus, Naproamide, Speedy 250, Para-Ken 250, Diquat 200, Ken-Up 450 CT, Roundup Powermax, Spray Seed, Oryxalin, Glyphosate Trimesium, Weedmaster Duo, and Tryquat.

Protection Measures:

• Avoid drift onto nearby water bodies, susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands, or pastures.

• Use with care in areas frequented by livestock.

• Highly toxic to wildlife and fish; avoid contamination of water sources.

• Do not apply under conditions favoring drift from target areas.
