GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

This product is designed to kill annual grasses and most annual broadleafed weeds (excluding capeweed) in specific situations and should not be used for any other purpose. It quickly kills green plant tissue on contact and is immediately inactivated in the soil. At spraying, weeds should be growing vigorously and must not be covered with soil or heavy dew. The principle of selective weed control with this product is that annual weeds are killed but perennial plants and clovers recover after an initial scorch. Long-term weed control can be obtained following the quick knockdown given by this product if it is combined with soil residual chemicals.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING

This product, Paradox 250 Herbicide, is a member of the bipyridyl group of herbicides and has the "photosynthesis at photosystem I inhibitor" mode of action. For weed resistance management, it is classified as a Group L herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Paradox 250 Herbicide and other Group L 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. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Sinon Australia Pty Limited accepts no responsibility for any losses that may result from the failure of Paradox 250 Herbicide to control resistant weeds.

Mixing

Add the required quantity of product to water in the spray tank and agitate to give even mixing. Agitate again if left standing.

Wetting Agent

This product contains a wetting agent, and additional wetter is not required unless high-volume spraying results in excessive dilution of the wetter content. Under such circumstances, wetter should be added at the specified rate. Do not use alkaline or anionic wetting agents.

Clean Water

Mix this product with clean water only. Water should be clean and free from clay, silt, and algae. Saline water, water collected from roofs, bore water, dam water, and water from creeks may be used as long as they meet this requirement.

Application

• Cereals and Broadacre Spraying: Use only through a properly calibrated boom spray fitted with flat-fan jets. Adjust spraying pressures and speed of travel accordingly for effective coverage. Adjust spray volumes based on weed growth density.

• High Volume Applications: Higher volumes may be required for situations other than cereals and broadacre crops.

• Wash spray equipment with clean water immediately after use. This product is highly corrosive to metals, particularly galvanized iron and aluminum.

Compatibility

This product combines satisfactorily with various other chemicals for prolonged weed control and quick knockdown.

Spraying Conditions

Avoid spraying plants under stress from waterlogging, frost, drought, or dust and soil coverage. Results will be better in dull weather or at the end of the day. Light rain following spraying will not affect results. Avoid drift into neighboring crops.

Tank Mixtures

Follow all label directions for tank mix products, including restraints, spray drift restraints, mandatory no-spray zones, withholding periods, regional use restrictions, and safety directions.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS

DO NOT apply under weather conditions or from spraying equipment that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants, crops, cropping lands, or pastures. Avoid application on or near water used for irrigation purposes.

PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK

Keep domestic pets and poultry away from treated areas. Avoid application on or near water used for livestock watering.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND THE ENVIRONMENT

DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers, or waterways with the chemical or used containers. Avoid application on or near water used for human consumption, livestock watering, irrigation purposes, or commercial or recreational fishing.
