GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Apparent Poacher 750 Herbicide is a soluble granule herbicide which will kill a range of standing weeds and emerging seedlings. It stops growth rapidly, although symptoms may take over 30 days to develop. Affected plants are discolored and often growth is distorted.

The active material in Apparent Poacher 750 Herbicide is rapidly absorbed through foliage and roots, and translocated throughout plants. Foliage treatments will provide pre-emergence control as the active material is released to the soil following plant decay. Residual control of weeds, for which the lower rate of Apparent Poacher 750 Herbicide is recommended, will increase when the higher rate is used.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING

GROUP 2 HERBICIDE Apparent Poacher 750 Herbicide is a member of the imidazolinone group of herbicides. Apparent Poacher 750 Herbicide has the inhibition of acetolactate synthase (ALS) mode of action. For weed resistance management, Apparent Poacher 750 Herbicide is a Group 2 herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to Apparent Poacher 750 Herbicide and other Group 2 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 Apparent Poacher 750 Herbicide or the Group 2 herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, AIRR Apparent Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Apparent Poacher 750 Herbicide to control resistant weeds.

APPLICATION

Faster control of standing weeds will result if growing conditions are favorable at and after application. Rainfall within two hours of the spray mixture drying on leaves may result in reduced weed control.

SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS

For medium volume spraying, apply through a spray boom calibrated to ensure even coverage. Use spray nozzles suitable to prevent spray drift onto surrounding desirable vegetation. For high volume application, use a hand gun or knapsack to apply sufficient spray to wet the surface visibly without producing run-off.

MIXING

Pour the required amount of Apparent Poacher 750 Herbicide into a spray container which already holds the total amount of water required. Mix thoroughly. If Apparent Poacher 750 Herbicide is added during filling, foaming may occur. If excessive foaming is a problem, add a suitable antifoaming agent. Consult your distributor for specific information. Apparent Poacher 750 Herbicide may be applied in hard or soft water. The product is corrosive to mild steel. Use ONLY stainless steel, fiberglass, plastic, or plastic-lined containers for mixing, storage, and application.

COMPATIBILITY

For faster knockdown of weeds, certain other herbicides may be mixed with Apparent Poacher 750 Herbicide. Bipyridyl herbicides (e.g., paraquat) are NOT compatible with Apparent Poacher 750 Herbicide. Mixtures of this type will result in poor weed control.

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. Do NOT apply on or near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas where their roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. Do NOT apply where run-off water may flow onto agricultural land or other desirable vegetated areas. Dispose of washings away from desirable plants and their roots.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers, or waterways with this product or used containers.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

Store in the closed, original container in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Triple-rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush, or puncture and deliver empty packaging to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose, clear of waterways, desirable vegetation, and tree roots, in compliance with relevant local, state, or territory government regulations. Do not burn empty containers or product.

SAFETY DIRECTIONS

Will irritate the eyes and skin. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. When opening the container and preparing spray, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing), elbow-length PVC gloves, goggles, and a disposable dust mask. When using the prepared spray, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and elbow-length PVC gloves. If product in eyes, wash it out immediately with water. Wash hands after use. After each day’s use, wash gloves, goggles, and contaminated clothing.
