GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Product Description:

• Smart OX 240 Herbicide is a selective herbicide designed for controlling certain annual grasses and broadleaf weeds.
• It is applicable in dormant apples, grapes, peaches, pears, plums, apricots, almonds, macadamia, Duboisia, tobacco, coffee, pyrethrum, winter cereals, tropical/sub-tropical crops, brassicas, onions, Eucalyptus, Pinus spp, and other forestry trees.
• It can be applied to weed-free soil or seedling weeds at the 4 to 6 true leaf stage.

Soil Application:

• When applied to well-prepared, weed-free soil, it should not be disturbed or incorporated after application.
• Residual weed control for up to 6 months can be achieved with high label rates.

Seedling Weed Application:

• When applied to seedling weeds at the 4 to 6 leaf stage, a non-ionic surfactant like BS-1000 is recommended to improve activity.
• Can be used at low rates to improve the weed spectrum of knockdown herbicides such as glyphosate, paraquat, or diquat/paraquat mixtures.

Timing:

Residual Control:

• Apply to the soil surface before weed emergence after completing all other agricultural operations.
• The area should be left undisturbed during the desired weed control period.

Post-emergence Weed Control:

• Apply to small seedling weeds up to 4 - 6 true-leaf stage.
• Use a non-ionic surfactant like BS-1000 to improve activity.
• Cultivation after treatment and prior to or at planting is beneficial for final fallow weed control.

MIXING:

• Shake well before use.
• When using alone, fill the spray tank at least one-third full with clean water, add the recommended amount of Smart OX 240 Herbicide while the pump and agitator are running, then complete filling the spray tank.
• Add a non-ionic surfactant if required by label directions near the end of the filling process to minimize foaming.
• When tank mixing, follow specific instructions based on the chemicals being combined.

APPLICATION:

• Spray equipment should be carefully calibrated before use.
• Apply uniformly with an accurately calibrated, low-pressure herbicide sprayer.
• Apply as a directed treatment to the base of tree and vine crops using flat fan or hollow cone nozzles.
• Complete coverage of seedling weeds is required for maximum knockdown effect.
• Ensure both weed foliage and the soil surface are sprayed.

CROP SAFETY:

• Smart OX 240 Herbicide can be applied as a directed or shielded spray around dormant peach, plum, apricot, almond, apple, and pear trees and grape vines of all ages when applied at rates of less than 1.0 L/ha.
• When applied at 3.0 L/ha and above, the trees and grape vines should be at least 3 years of age.
• Do NOT apply Smart OX 240 Herbicide once bud swell has occurred when using rates greater than 1.0 L/ha.
• Duboisia seedlings and mature plants can tolerate over-the-applications of Smart OX 240 Herbicide.
