RESISTANCE WARNING
PYRAMIN Selective Herbicide is a member of the pyridazinone group of herbicides. PYRAMIN is a herbicide which inhibits photosynthesis at photo-system II. For weed resistance management PYRAMIN is a Group C herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to PYRAMIN, and other herbicides, which inhibit photosynthesis at photo-system II, 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 PYRAMIN or other Group C herbicides.
Since occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, BASF Australia Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of PYRAMIN to control resistant weeds.

METHOD OF APPLICATION
Apply PYRAMIN the day of sowing or as soon as possible after planting, but before the crop emerges. If soil moisture is inadequate for proper beet germination, PYRAMIN will not give good weed control, in which case irrigate within 10 days. Irrigation after application however, should not exceed 35 mm per week, particularly during cold weather conditions. PYRAMIN should be applied in a minimum of 110 to 220 litres of water per hectare.
Band treatment
The cost of chemical can be reduced by spraying a band 10 to 20 cm wide over the crop row. Charts to calculate the amount of PYRAMIN per hectare for band spraying are available on request.

MIXING
Partly fill the spray vat with water. Mix the required amount of PYRAMIN with a little water to form a cream before adding to water in the spray vat. Then top up to required quantity. Either mechanical or jet agitation is required in the tank for proper mixing. Continue agitation while spraying.

RE-ENTRY PERIOD
DO NOT enter treated areas for 10 days unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.
