GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

TOLERANCE

Some pre-emergence herbicides, such as atrazine, can cause stress to certain crops, resulting in an increase in crop damage when using this product. Subterranean clover is particularly sensitive.

CEREALS

After application, some transient crop yellowing may occur, usually appearing as yellow or white banding on leaves. Crop development and subsequent growth will be unaffected if the crop is not under stress from pre-emergent herbicide, root disease, insect damage, frost, dry, or excessively moist conditions.

Warning (Oats): The tolerance of oat varieties Esk and Nile (the two main varieties grown in Tasmania) to APPARENT Panther Selective Herbicide has not been tested. Test a small area of the crop before using APPARENT Diflufenican + MCPA Selective Herbicide over large areas. Consult your local AIRR APPARENT AG representative for advice on specific varieties.

PASTURE

The tolerance of clover varieties to APPARENT Panther Selective Herbicide can vary with the rate of application, soil type, crop health, stage of growth, and degree of moisture and temperature stress.

Warning: APPARENT Panther Selective Herbicide may result in transient crop yellowing and suppression of growth, particularly at rates in excess of 500 mL/ha and in areas of double spray. Application before the 8 trifoliate leaf stage is recommended. Some varieties have shown acceptable levels of foliage tolerance under normal growing conditions.

Varieties with acceptable tolerance to APPARENT Panther Selective Herbicide at 500 mL/ha under normal conditions include:

• ArrowLeaf
• Zulu Balansa
• Paradana Berseem
• Sacromonte Persian
• Kyambro
• Lupers
• Maral White
• Haifa
• Subterranean Clover (various varieties listed)

Warning: Rose and Strawberry clover have shown increased sensitivity to APPARENT Panther Selective Herbicide. It may affect the seed yield of Subterranean Clover variety Woogenellup. Some pasture grasses, including Phalaris and Cocksfoot, may show initial reduction in vegetative growth. Test varieties not listed before using APPARENT Panther Selective Herbicide over large areas.

SUBSEQUENT CROPS

To reduce the effect on subsequent susceptible crops (e.g., canola), ensure thorough soil cultivation before sowing these crops.

MIXING

To ensure even mixing, half-fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required amount of product. Agitate thoroughly, then add the remaining water. Reseal part-used product containers immediately after use. Do not leave spray mixtures containing APPARENT Panther Selective Herbicide standing overnight.

Warning: Some rubber components in spraying units may be affected by the solvents in APPARENT Panther Selective Herbicide. Wash the spray unit thoroughly with a boom cleaner and fresh water after use. Check with the spray unit manufacturer for the suitability of rubber components.

APPLICATION

Boom Sprayer: Use a minimum of 50L of water per hectare, with recommended rates of 70-100L/ha for optimum results. Adjust water volume for weed infestation and crop cover. Complete coverage of weeds is essential.

Aircraft (NSW, Vic, SA only): Apply in a minimum of 30L water per hectare, ensuring good coverage of leaf surfaces for effective weed control.

When mixing with other herbicides: Crop yellowing may be enhanced. If the crop is stressed, herbicide tank-mixtures may cause yield reduction. Follow recommended rates and surfactant recommendations. Do not use crop oils with APPARENT Panther Selective Herbicide or its mixtures in cereals. Test mixtures before commercial use.
