GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

SOIL PREPARATION:

  • Ensure areas to be treated are free of established weeds.
  • Remove or thoroughly mix trash (weed residue, prunings, etc.) into the soil before applying SHARP SHOOTER 500 SC.

SOIL ACTIVATION:

  • Moisture, in the form of rain or sprinkler irrigation (12.5 mm), is required within 21 days of application to activate the product. If no moisture is received within this period, incorporate SHARP SHOOTER 500 SC into the top 2.5 cm of soil.

MIXING:

  • Add the required amount of SHARP SHOOTER 500 SC to a half-full spray tank.
  • Agitate well during the completion of filling.
  • DO NOT leave spray solutions standing overnight.

APPLICATION:

  • Apply SHARP SHOOTER 500 SC in 200 to 450 litres of water per hectare.
  • Ensure uniform application, especially within the dripline of trees and shrubs, to avoid exceeding the label rate.
  • Use a properly calibrated low-pressure (170 to 340 kPa) herbicide sprayer.
  • Provide good bypass or other agitation of the spray suspension in the tank before and during application.
  • Soil treated with SHARP SHOOTER 500 SC may be shallow cultivated without loss of herbicidal activity.
  • SHARP SHOOTER 500 SC is compatible with Paraquat, Glyphosate, Oxyfluorofen, and Simazine.

RESISTANCE WARNING:

  • GROUP D HERBICIDE: SHARP SHOOTER 500 SC belongs to the dinitroanilines group of Herbicides.
  • It has the inhibitor of tubulin formation mode of action.
  • For weed resistance management, SHARP SHOOTER 500 SC is a Group D Herbicide.
  • Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to SHARP SHOOTER 500 SC and other Group D Herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population.
  • Resistant individuals can dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly.
  • These resistant weeds will not be controlled by SHARP SHOOTER 500 SC or other Group D Herbicides, potentially leading to reduced efficacy and yield loss.
  • Detection of resistant weeds prior to use is difficult; Imtrade Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for losses due to the failure of SHARP SHOOTER 500 SC to control resistant weeds.

STRATEGIES TO MINIMIZE HERBICIDE RESISTANCE:

  • Consult your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or Imtrade Australia Pty Ltd representative for available strategies.
  • Implement recommended strategies to minimize the risk of herbicide resistance.
