General Instructions for Rygel Oxyfluorfen Herbicide

Purpose:

• Selective herbicide for controlling certain annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in various crops, including apples, grapes, peaches, pears, plums, almonds, macadamia, Duboisia, tobacco, coffee, pyrethrum, winter cereals, tropical/subtropical crops, brassicas, onions, Eucalyptus, Pinus spp., and other forestry trees.

Application:

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

• Ensure thorough coverage for optimal effectiveness.

• Avoid disturbing or incorporating the herbicide into the soil after application for residual control.

• Spot treat escape weeds or perennial grasses if necessary with knockdown herbicides.

Mixing:

• Shake well before use.

• Fill the spray tank at least one-third full with water.

• Add Rygel Oxyfluorfen Herbicide while the pump and agitator are running.

• Add a non-ionic surfactant if required by label directions to minimize foaming.

• Maintain agitation during mixing and until spraying is completed.

• When tank mixing with other herbicides, follow label directions and recommended order.

Resistance Warning:

• Rygel Oxyfluorfen Herbicide belongs to Group G herbicides.

• Use caution to prevent the development of resistant weed biotypes.

• Limit usage to avoid potential resistance development.

• No liability is accepted for failure to control resistant weeds.

Timing:

• Apply before weed emergence for residual control.

• Apply to small seedling weeds up to 4-6 true-leaf stage for post-emergence control.

• Use cultivation prior to or at planting for final fallow weed control.

Crop Safety:

• Can be applied around dormant trees and grapevines at specified rates.

• Consider age and stage of crop growth when determining application rates.

• Duboisia seedlings and mature plants tolerate "over-the-top" applications.

Compatibility:

• Compatible with glyphosate products (with agitation), oryzalin, paraquat/diquat, diquat, and glufosinate products.

Protection:

• Take precautions to avoid spray drift onto nearby water bodies, susceptible plants, cropping lands, or pastures.

• Use with care in areas frequented by livestock or wildlife.

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

• Store and dispose of containers properly according to local regulations.
