For the control of weeds in chickpeas, lupins, TT-Canola, orchards, vineyards and certain other horticultural and non-crop situations as per the Directions for Use table.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
UPL Australia SimaPhos 900 WG is a pre-emergent herbicide which is most effective when applied to bare, moist soil. Because it acts mainly through the roots of weeds, best results are obtained when rain or irrigation water moves the herbicide down to the root zone within 2 weeks of application. The duration and effectiveness of control depends on the amount applied, the type of soil, intensity of leaching and the species of weed present.

MIXING:
Half fill tank with clean water. Commence vigorous agitation. Add granules steadily. DO NOT dump. Ensure complete dispersion before filling to volume with water. Continue agitation during spraying. DO NOT leave spray solution in tank overnight.

APPLICATION:
Use a boom sprayer or a knapsack sprayer for small areas. 50-200 L of mixture per hectare should be applied with the boom and a minimum equivalent to 500 L per hectare through the knapsack sprayer. Clean spray equipment immediately after use using several flushings of water with detergent.

TT-Canola: Application
DO NOT apply to TT-Canola by aircraft. Apply only with a low boom sprayer with a 60 m buffer zone downwind of treated fields to natural or impounded lakes or dams, and a 20 m buffer zone for any well, sink hole, intermittent or perennial stream. Apply only to area where run-off is unlikely to occur or where run-off may be captured by farm earthworks.

COMPATIBILITY:
This product may be mixed with amitrole, atrazine, diuron, glyphosate, diquat, paraquat and paraquat-diquat mixtures. Because products may vary from time to time, a small scale compatibility test should be carried out before mixing in the spray tank. For residual control of annual weeds in non-crop areas, pome and citrus orchards and vineyards only, mixtures of this product and glyphosate may be used. Half fill the spray tank with clean water before adding this product at the recommended rate, and mix thoroughly. Then add a 360 g/L glyphosate product at 3 L/ha or 700 mL/100 L and the remaining water. Maintain adequate agitation and use the mixture promptly. DO NOT use lower rates of glyphosate where control of perennial weeds is desired.

SOIL MOISTURE:
If sufficient rain to thoroughly wet the soil through the weed root zone has not fallen within 14 days of application, water in with the equivalent of 13 mm of rain. If applied under dry conditions and irrigation is not available, mechanical incorporation to a depth of not more than 4 cm within 7 days of sowing may assist results.
