GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
SAFARI 750 EC HERBICIDE

MIXING
Half fill the spray unit with water and add the required amount of SAFARI 750 EC. Add the remaining water with the agitator running. If required, then add crop oils or wetters (surfactants). Maintain mechanical or by-pass agitation in the spray tank during spraying. Only mix sufficient solution for immediate daily use and avoid storing.

APPLICATION
DO NOT apply using equipment carried on the back of the user.
DO NOT apply using hand-held application methods.

1. WOODY WEED SITUATIONS
   Weeds need to be actively growing for herbicides to have optimum effect. Delay treatment until all regrowth has had time to grow to one metre high in situations which have been bulldozed, slashed, burnt, ploughed or areas having a previous chemical treatment.
   A. High Volume Spraying: Thorough coverage of foliage and stems to the point of run-off is essential, however, avoid excess spraying which is wasteful of chemical.
   B. Aerial Application: Apply in 100 to 200 L water/ha. Use a calibrated aircraft to apply in half overlap passes. Nozzle configurations should produce droplets of not less than 250 to 350 micron diameter (e.g. D8/45). The potential for damage from drift can be greatly reduced by avoiding unsuitable spraying conditions and using spray pressure and nozzles to minimize the production of small droplets. DO NOT spray when wind exceeds 10 km/hr and/or air temperature reaches 30°C.
   C. Controlled Droplet Application: Results similar to high volume spraying can be obtained using Micron Herbi* or similar equipment. Select a nozzle to give a flow rate of 2 mL/sec and sweeping action of approximately 1 m/sec to ensure a droplet density of 20/cm2. Use a marking agent as recommended by the equipment manufacturers, to check spray coverage. Also, consult directions provided with C.D.A. unit.

2. CROPPING/FALLOW SITUATIONS
   A. Boom Application: Application of SAFARI 750 EC in a minimum spray volume of 50 L/ha is recommended. Flat fan nozzles are recommended, using pressures in the range of 200-300 kPa. Boom height must be set to ensure double overlap of nozzle patterns.
   B. Aerial Application: DO NOT allow SAFARI 750 EC to physically drift onto desirable plants. Aircraft may be used to apply SAFARI 750 EC in fallow situations, when ground application equipment cannot be used due to prolonged wet conditions. A minimum spray volume of 35 L/ha should be used with flat fan and CP nozzle configurations. DO NOT apply SAFARI 750 EC by aircraft when wind exceeds 10 km/hr and/or air temperature reaches 30°C. Droplets with an average size (or Volume Mean Diameter) of 250 to 350 micron diameter are recommended.

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Rinsing: After using SAFARI 750 EC, empty the spray unit completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the spray unit using a pressure hose. Drain the spray unit and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. After cleaning the spray unit as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice.
Decontamination: Before spraying cotton and other sensitive crops, with equipment that has been used to apply SAFARI 750 EC, see Protection of Crops, Native and Other Non-Target Plants section. Wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Then quarter fill the tank and add an alkali detergent (e.g. liquid SURF*, OMO*, DRIVE* at 500 mL/100 L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100 L of water) and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally, flush the system with clean water and allow to drain. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and water courses.
