GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

MIXING

Shake or stir well before use. Quarter fill the spray tank and add the required amount of SARRITOR Herbicide. Add the remaining water with the agitator running. Maintain agitation during spraying. Only mix sufficient spray solution for immediate use and avoid storing. When tank mixing: SARRITOR should be added to the tank following wettable powders and dry flowable formulations, but before suspension concentrates (flowables), aqueous concentrates, and emulsifiable concentrates.

APPLICATION

Apply SARRITOR in 50 to 150 litres of water per hectare, through an accurately calibrated boom sprayer. For aircraft application, apply SARRITOR in no less than 30 L/ha of water through accurately calibrated equipment. The product should be applied by an accurately calibrated ground rig or aircraft delivering medium quality spray based on BCPC specifications and in accordance with ASAE standard S-572. Best results are achieved where applications are made on warm (greater than 5ºC), sunny days applying more than 50 L/ha of total spray volume (preferably more than 75 L/ha) and where spray coverage is maximized.

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT

After using SARRITOR, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose. Drain the tank and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, and nozzles. To rinse: After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses, and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. To decontaminate: Before spraying sensitive crops (which include canola, cotton, faba beans, lupins, sorghum, and sunflowers), wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Quarter fill the tank and add an alkali detergent (e.g., SURF®, Cold Water SURF Concentrate®, Dynamo Matic Concentrate®, OMO® or DRIVE® at 500 mL/100 L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100 L) and circulate throughout the system for at least fifteen minutes. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally, flush the system with clean water and allow draining. Chlorine-based cleaners are not recommended. Nufarm Tank Cleaner® is not recommended. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and watercourses.

Resistance Warning:

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING GROUP B HERBICIDE SARRITOR Herbicide is a broadleaf herbicide with no ryegrass activity and is a member of the triazolopyrimidine sulfonanilide (sulfonamide) group of herbicides. The product has the acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group B herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group B 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 this product or other Group B herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, FMC Australasia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of the product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimize the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or local FMC representative.

Precautions:

MINIMUM RECROPPING PERIODS: Cereal rye, medics, triticale, wheat, maize, soybeans: May be planted at any time after application of SARRITOR. Barley, chickpeas, clover, field peas, lucerne, oats, and peanuts: Allow 3 months to elapse after application before sowing these crops. Canola, cotton, faba beans, fenugreek, lathyrus, lentils, lupins, serradella, sorghum, sunflowers, Popany vetch: On deep soils (with no impermeable sub-horizon), cotton, sorghum, and sunflowers may be planted 3 months after application of SARRITOR. Canola, faba beans, and lupins are more sensitive and may be planted 9 months after application of SARRITOR. On shallow, duplex, low organic matter soils with an impermeable sub-horizon within the root zone (30 cm deep or less), these crops should NOT be planted until 2 years after application of SARRITOR.
