GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

FARMALINX PANDA 435 Herbicide is selective for the control of most annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds. As FARMALINX PANDA 435 controls weeds by inhibiting seedling development, it will not control established weeds. For the best results, seedbeds should be free of weeds, trash, and clods at the time of application. Soils containing a high percentage of organic matter can also result in poor control; application to these soils (greater than 6% organic content) should be avoided. Crop injury may result if cold, wet weather follows planting or if FARMALINX PANDA 435 is applied to a poorly prepared seedbed. With the return of favorable growing conditions (warm weather), the crop will usually recover and resume normal growth.

Note: FARMALINX PANDA 435 will stain (yellow) any objects it contacts. Keep all objects, etc. that are not to be stained well clear of the product and spray.

MIXING: Put half the required volume of water in the spray tank and start agitation. When using FARMALINX PANDA 435 alone, add FARMALINX PANDA 435 to a partially filled tank and then add the remainder of water. Mix thoroughly. When using FARMALINX PANDA 435 in tank mixes with atrazine or diuron, mix these products as indicated on their label, adding the FARMALINX PANDA 435 last, then complete filling the tank. Maintain good agitation at all times until spraying is completed. If the spray mixture is allowed to settle, thorough agitation is essential to re-suspend the mixture before spraying is resumed. Note that when tank mixing FARMALINX PANDA 435 with paraquat and glyphosate herbicides, the FARMALINX PANDA 435 should be thoroughly mixed in the spray tank first, before adding either paraquat or glyphosate.

APPLICATION METHOD

Ground Application: Use conventional sprayers with either mechanical or bypass agitation. Flat fan nozzles should be used. Spray equipment should be correctly calibrated to ensure proper application. If applying FARMALINX PANDA 435 in tank mix combination with atrazine or diuron, nozzle screens must be no finer than 50 mesh. Apply the recommended quantity of FARMALINX PANDA 435 in 50-200 liters of water per hectare. Where pre-emergence surface treatment is used, the higher rates of water per hectare are recommended.

Aerial Application: For use on pre-plant soybeans, cotton, sunflowers, peanuts, navy beans, cow peas, mung beans, pigeon peas, and post-plant, post flushed combine sown rice only. Apply the recommended quantity of FARMALINX PANDA 435 in 25-60 liters of water per hectare. It is essential that the equipment is correctly calibrated, and an even spray pattern is obtained. Always ensure that markers are used and an accurate swath width is maintained. DO NOT apply if wind speed is greater than 16 km/hour. Always spray with a crosswind in accordance with recommended flying practice. DO NOT apply FARMALINX PANDA 435 by aerial spraying in eucalypt forestry situations.

Incorporation: a. FARMALINX PANDA 435 works best if thoroughly mixed with soil either mechanically or by irrigation or rainfall. The aim of incorporation is to produce an even band of herbicide to intercept germinating weed seeds. b. Post-plant pre-emergence surface applications of FARMALINX PANDA 435 alone, or as a tank mixture, are most effective in controlling weeds when adequate rainfall occurs or irrigation is applied as soon as possible, and within 3-5 days after treatment to achieve incorporation. If no rain or irrigation is received within 3-5 days, light mechanical incorporation is required for optimum weed control, except when used on maize, carrots, and rice or on sugarcane, if water incorporation is used. c. Maize is tolerant to FARMALINX PANDA 435 either alone or in mixtures with atrazine if the seed germinates below the chemically treated band. Maize, carrots, and rice are NOT tolerant to FARMALINX PANDA 435 if it is in direct contact with the seed. d. In crops such as grapevines that can be susceptible to damage to new growth by vapor, adequate and complete incorporation should occur within 10 days of application, and before new bud tissue is evident. I.e., Prior to bud swell (E-L growth stage 02). Incorporation should occur over the whole sprayed surface either by rain or by an irrigation method that wets the whole treated surface. Alternatively, incorporate mechanically using equipment that will not damage grapevine roots. Drip irrigation is usually unsatisfactory for this purpose. A minimum of 10-15 min of rain or irrigation is required for satisfactory incorporation.

Cereal Seed Dressings: Some fungicidal seed dressings can shorten coleoptile length and this can affect emergence particularly if seed is sown too deep. When these cereal seed dressings are used in FARMALINX PANDA 435 treated areas, it is very important to ensure there is good seed depth control and to sow just below (1cm) the chemically treated band. Consult your local Department of Agriculture Agronomist for further advice.

Weather Conditions at Planting: Crop injury may result if cold weather follows planting. With the return of favorable growing conditions (warm weather), crops usually recover and resume normal growth. In cereal, prolonged cold wet conditions during germination and emergence can result in wheat or barley coleoptiles remaining in the treated band for an extended period. This can reduce emergence.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING: FARMALINX PANDA 435 Herbicide is a member of the dinitroaniline group of herbicides. FARMALINX PANDA 435 has the inhibition of tubulin formation mode of action. For weed resistance management, FARMALINX PANDA 435 is a Group D herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to FARMALINX PANDA 435 and other Group D 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 FARMALINX PANDA 435 or other Group D Herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Farmalinx Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of FARMALINX PANDA 435 to control resistant weeds.

COMPATIBILITY: FARMALINX PANDA 435 is physically compatible with the following herbicides: TORCH 240 SL, atrazine, diuron, simazine, prometryne, fluometuron, fluometuron plus prometryne, ametryne, paraquat, propanil, linuron, glyphosate, Ramrod+ Flowable, Logran+, and triallate. If tank mixing, observe the directions under mixing.
