GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

This product is a pre-emergent and herbicide which selectively controls certain annual and perennial weeds in the situations as listed in the directions for use table. It can also be used to control weeds in Triazine Tolerant Canola varieties. Established perennial species will not be controlled at the rates recommended. Duration and effectiveness of control depends on the amount of chemical applied, soil type, rainfall, weed species and other conditions. Best results are achieved if the product is applied to bare moist soil. Since the product mainly enters weeds through root absorption, sufficient moisture (either rainfall or irrigation) is required to move the product into the root zone of weeds to make the product effective.

Mixing

Stir the product or invert the container prior to use in case settling has occurred in storage. Partially fill the spray tank with water and maintain agitation while adding the required quantity of Sipcam Simazine 500. Agitation should continue after filling and during spraying. If spray is allowed to stand, agitate thoroughly before resuming spraying.

Compatibility

This product is compatible with amitrole and diuron flowable.. It may also be mixed with glyphosate, paraquat, diquat or paraquat/diquat mixtures provided the mixture is agitated vigorously. When mixing with glyphosate add crystalline ammonium sulphate 2kg/100L to avoid antagonism. Avoid mixing in extremely cold weather (2-5 oC). The use of a buffering agent is recommended when mixing with alkaline water (pH 8-12).

TT-Canola: Application

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

Application

Apply in a minimum of 50L/ha (WA); 100L/ha (SA, NSW, Vic, Qld); 200L (Tas). Higher water volumes are preferred to increase the evenness and accuracy of application.
