GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

SHREDDA is an emulsifiable concentrate and is to be mixed with water and applied as per the labelled Directions for Use. SHREDDA is a post-emergence herbicide to be added to triasulfuron for the pre-plant, incorporated by sowing control of Annual Ryegrass, Paradoxa Grass and certain broadleaved weeds in wheat or other knockdown herbicides to improve the control of certain broadleaf weeds including marshmallow prior to the establishment of fallows, cereal crops, commercial, industrial and public service areas, around agricultural buildings, yards and other farm situations. SHREDDA is a fast-acting contact herbicide and aids in control of weeds through a process of membrane disruption. The foliar uptake of SHREDDA is rapid and plant desiccation can occur within 4 days of application. Application of SHREDDA should target small actively growing weeds. Subsequent germinations will not be controlled. SHREDDA is rapidly absorbed through the foliage of plants. Within a few hours following application, the foliage of susceptible weeds show signs of desiccation, and in subsequent days necrosis and death of the plant.

Mixing

SHREDDA is an emulsifiable concentrate herbicide which mixes readily with water. Add half the required volume of water to spray tank and start agitation. Add any partner SC or WG herbicide next if it should be added before an EC or knockdown herbicide. Add the measured amount of SHREDDA next, followed by the knockdown herbicide (if required). Add balance of water to tank and add any adjuvant or additive if recommended for use with the knockdown herbicide. Maintain good agitation at all times until spraying is completed. DO NOT store spray mixture overnight.

Application

Spray equipment should be carefully calibrated before use. Complete coverage of weed seedling is required for maximum knockdown effect. A spray volume of 50 to 100 L/ha is recommended.

Cleaning Equipment After Application

Thoroughly clean the sprayer using the following procedure when you have finished spraying highly active materials such as butafenacil products. In addition to the following procedure, ensure proper equipment clean-out for any other products mixed with SHREDDA as specified on the other product labels.

1. Preparation of the Cleaning Solution: Prepare a spray equipment cleaning solution by mixing alkaline detergent eg “OMO” or “SPREE”, “SURF” or Absolute Boomer at a rate of 100 g for every 100 L of clean water used.

2. Fill the spray tank with sufficient cleaning solution to allow the operation of the spray system for a minimum of 15 minutes to thoroughly flush hoses, spray boom and spray lines, then fill the spray tank to capacity to ensure contact of the solution with all internal surfaces. Let the cleaning solution soak in tank, pump and spray nozzles overnight.

3. Before further use of the sprayer, operate the spray system for 15 minutes, then completely drain the sprayer system. Rinse the tank with clean water and flush through the hoses, spray boom, and spray nozzles.

4. Immediately prior to commencement of spraying a sensitive crop, purge the boom lines by operating the spray system onto a fence line or waste area for sufficient time to remove any solution that has been residing in the spray lines. This is also recommended for subsequent tank loads or if the sprayer has been left standing for a period of time containing spray solution.

5. If storing equipment for more than 48 hours, preferred practice is to clean spray equipment as outlined above allowing to soak overnight, drain and flush with fresh water and leave fresh water in the spray tank, hoses, and spray booms until next use. This water must be drained from the spray boom and lines and flushed out with clean water before beginning any application to a sensitive crop.

6. Properly dispose of all cleaning solution and rinsate safely in accordance with Federal, State, and local regulations and guidelines. Do not apply sprayer cleaning solutions or rinsate to sensitive crops. Should small quantities of SHREDDA remain in inadequately cleaned mixing, loading and/or spray equipment, they may be released during subsequent applications potentially causing effects to sensitive crops and other vegetation. The above method is only effective if the cleaning solution comes into contact with every surface or contact point that may contain even minute butafenacil residues.

Plant Back Periods

SHREDDA does not provide residual activity, therefore no crop plant back or rotational restrictions apply. However, check the label of any product mixed with SHREDDA, to determine any plant back periods or restrictions on use.

Compatibility

SHREDDA is compatible with glyphosate, REBEL (2,4-D acid) or 2,4-D ester or amine and TRIAFON.
