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. Sub-clover is particularly sensitive.

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

Warning (Oats): The tolerance of varieties Esk and Nile (the two main varieties grown in Tasmania) to RELYON DIFLU-MCPA SELECTIVE HERBICIDE has not been tested. Test a small area of crop before using RELYON DIFLU-MCPA SELECTIVE HERBICIDE over large areas. Consult your local Nutrien Ag Solutions representative for advice on specific varieties.

Pasture: The tolerance of clover varieties to RELYON DIFLU-MCPA SELECTIVE HERBICIDE can vary with the rate of application, soil type, crop health, stage of growth, and degree of moisture and temperature stress.

Warning: RELYON DIFLU-MCPA SELECTIVE HERBICIDE may result in transient crop yellowing and suppression of growth with a resultant initial reduction in dry matter, particularly at rates in excess of 500mL/ha and in areas of double spray. For this reason, application is recommended prior to the 8th trifoliate leaf stage. However, at lower rates (500mL/ha and less) and under normal growing conditions, subsequent growth and seed yield should not be affected.

Under normal growing conditions, the following varieties have shown acceptable levels of foliage tolerance to RELYON DIFLU-MCPA SELECTIVE HERBICIDE applied at 500mL/ha:** ArrowLeaf: Zulu Balansa: Paradana Berseem: Sacromonte Persian: Kyambro, Lupers, Maral White: Haifa Subterranean Clover: Daliak, Dalkeith, Denmark, Esperance, Geraldton, Goulburn, Karridale, Larissa, Leura, Mt. Barker, Nungarin, Rosedale, Seaton Park, Trikkala, and Woogenellup.

The effects of RELYON DIFLU-MCPA SELECTIVE HERBICIDE on clover seed yield have been tested on the following varieties. Under normal growing conditions, they show levels of tolerance to RELYON DIFLU-MCPA SELECTIVE HERBICIDE applied at 500mL/ha:** Subterranean Clover: Esperance, Goulburn, Larissa, Seaton Park, and Trikkala.

Warning: Rose and Strawberry clover have shown increased sensitivity to RELYON DIFLU-MCPA SELECTIVE HERBICIDE. RELYON DIFLU-MCPA SELECTIVE HERBICIDE may affect the seed yield of subterranean variety Woogenellup. Some pasture grasses, including Phalaris and Cocksfoot, may show some initial reduction in vegetative growth after application of RELYON DIFLU-MCPA SELECTIVE HERBICIDE. Care should be exercised if sensitive clover varieties or grasses are included in the pasture sward. Varieties not listed should be tested before using RELYON DIFLU-MCPA SELECTIVE HERBICIDE over large areas. Consult your local Nutrien Ag Solutions representative for advice on specific varieties.

Subsequent Crops: To reduce the effect on susceptible crops (e.g., canola), ensure thorough cultivation of soil prior to the sowing of 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 remainder of the water. Agitate again before spraying commences. Reseal part-used product container immediately after use. Spray mixtures containing RELYON DIFLU-MCPA SELECTIVE HERBICIDE should not be left to stand overnight. Prolonged periods of exposure to cold temperature could result in settling out of the product in the mixture.

Warning: The rubber components present in some spraying units may be affected by exposure to the solvents in RELYON DIFLU-MCPA SELECTIVE HERBICIDE and some other agricultural products. To reduce the risk, it is recommended that the spray unit be thoroughly washed with a boom cleaner and fresh water after use. Contact the spray unit manufacturer to determine the suitability of the rubber components for use with agricultural products.

Application: Boom Sprayer: A minimum of 50L of water per hectare should be used; however, for optimum results water rates of 70-100L/ha are recommended. Increase the water volume if weed infestation is heavy or crop cover is dense. Complete coverage of weeds is essential.

Aircraft (NSW, Vic, SA only): Apply in a minimum of 30L water per hectare. Effective control will only be achieved where good coverage of leaf surface is achieved.
