GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Shogun® Herbicide is a systemic post-emergence herbicide, rapidly absorbed by foliage and translocated within the plant to the roots.
Shogun is rainfast one hour after application. Treated grasses cease growth within 1-2 days after application.
Shogun is most effective when grasses are actively growing in the early tillering stage. Allow a 10 day period between the application of Shogun and post-emergence broadleaf herbicide.
Shog un may be tank-mixed at reduced rates, with Sertin 186 EC OR Sertin Plus for broader spectrum grass weed control as per the Directions for Use table.

Legume Pasture Spraying
Follow guidelines as for Boom Spraying and Aerial Spraying. When pastures are grazed or cut for hay wait for grass weeds to produce fully expanded leaves before applying Shogun.
If pasture is to be grazed heavily following application with Shogun, allow 7 days to elapse before introducing stock to the treated area.
In dense pastures use water volumes of at least 75 L/ha. Early application is essential in areas where soil moisture is often marginal late in the season.
Shogun may have some effect on other desirable pasture grasses. Consult your farm chemical supplier or local Adama representative for advice.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING
Shogun Herbicide is a member of the aryloxyphenoxypropionate (“fop”) group of herbicides. For weed resistance management Shogun is a Group A herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Shogun and other Group A 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 A herbicides.
Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Adama Australia Pty. Ltd. accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds. Large numbers of healthy surviving weeds can be an indication that resistance is developing. Efforts should be taken to prevent seed set of these survivors. If the user suspects that weeds resistant to Group A herbicides are present, Shogun or other Group A herbicide should not be used. To help prevent the potential development of resistant weed populations this product should be used as part of an overall Integrated Weeds Management Strategy, which incorporates the use of herbicides with different modes of action and alternate cultural weed control practices.
Advice as to strategies and alternative treatments that can be used should be obtained from your local supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, Primary Industries Department or a Adama representative.
DO NOT make more than one application of a Group A herbicide to a crop in the same season.

MIXING
Shogun is an emulsifiable concentrate to be mixed with water and applied as a spray. Partially fill the spray tank with water. Add the required amount of Shogun to the tank with the agitation system running, then add the adjuvant and the remainder of water. When tank-mixing Shog un with Sertin 186 EC or Sertin Plus, add Sertin first to partially filled spray tank with agitation system running. Continue agitation for 2 to 3 minutes, then add Shogun and continue agitating for a further 2 to 3 minutes. Add the required amount of adjuvant, then add the remainder of water.
DO NOT allow the tank mix to sit overnight.

APPLICATION
Boom Spraying: Check height of boom above the target grasses to ensure the spray is evenly distributed and a double overlap pattern is obtained. A droplet spectrum with no less than 50% of the spray volume in the 150-300 micron range is desirable.
Water volumes per hectare will depend on nozzle selection and should be in the range of 30-150 L/ha. 1100 fan nozzles are preferred for use with Shogun. Use higher volumes of spray to achieve full coverage of dense, vigorous weed infestations.
Aerial Spraying: Spray in crosswinds to ensure maximum coverage and crop penetration and use fine droplets to improve coverage. Aim for a droplet size of 150-300 microns. Micronair or hydraulic fan nozzles are both suitable. Apply Shogun in a water volume of 20-30 L/ha.
DO NOT spray when winds are light and variable in direction unless smoke indicators or the spray cloud show that the spray is going down into the crop.
DO NOT spray onto inversions or in dead calm conditions.
DO NOT drift Shogun onto nearby susceptible crops.
Use large droplets and increase volume of water where limitation of drift is required.
Cleaning Spray Equipment: After using Shog un, 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, line 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 cereals, maize, sweetcorn, sorghum, ornamental grasses, turf grasses or other sensitive crops, wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure. Then quarter fill the tank and add a liquid alkali detergent (e.g., SURF†, OMO†, DRIVE†) at 0.5 L/100 L water 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 to drain. Dispose of all water used for cleaning in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots.

COMPATIBILITY
Shogun is compatible with Le-Mat†, Select† with Hasten†, Select with Kwickin†, Sertin 186 EC.
Shogun is physically compatible with a wide range of broadleaf herbicides, but such mixtures will usually result in a reduction in grass control.
Consult your farm chemical supplier or Adama representative for advice. Shogun is not compatible with Sencor† 480 SC, 2,4-D, MCPA, 2,4-DB and mineral spray oil. Do not mix concentrates together but add each to the spray tank separately.
As formulations of other manufacturers’ products are beyond the control of Adama Australia Pty. Ltd. all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities. As changes in climatic conditions can alter the sensitivity of plants to mixtures of sprays, Adama Australia Pty. Ltd. can not be responsible for the behaviour of such mixtures.

PRECAUTION
Re-entry period: DO NOT enter treated area without protective clothing until spray has dried.
