Pre emergent herbicide for the control of a broad range of weeds in crops including TT canola, lupins, chickpeas and Faba beans. Also used for silver grass in pasture, weeds in orchards and vineyards, and for bare earth on firebreaks and around buildings.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

4Farmers Simazine 900 WG Herbicide is a pre-emergent herbicide, which selectively kills plants and seedlings by absorption through the root system. Very little, if any, foliage absorption takes place. It works best when applied to bare moist soil. If vegetation is present at spraying then a knockdown herbicide should be applied. 4Farmers Simazine 900 WG Herbicide is very insoluble in water and so usually remains in the top 5cm of the soil. It is inactivated by absorption onto charcoal or other carbonaceous materials, muck solid or soils high in organic matter – higher rates are therefore required in these types of soils. Araucaria, Corymbia, Eucalyptus and Pinus plantations:Field trial and use experience has indicated that the following species are tolerant. Test tolerance before treating other species. Araucaria - all commercial species Corymbia- maculata Eucalyptus – agglomerate, calophylla, camaldulensis, cladocalyx, cloeziana, dunnii, globulus, grandis, laevopinea, nitens, pilularis, pseudoglobulus, regnans, rudis, saligna, wandoo Pinus – Caribaea and hybrids, elliotti, pinaster, radiata

APPLICATION

Use a boom sprayer or knapsack for small areas. 50 – 200L of mixture per hectare should be applied with the boom and a minimum equivalent to 500L per hectare through the knapsack sprayer. Clean spray equipment immediately after use with a tank and equipment cleaner.

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 areas where run-off is unlikely to occur or where run-off may be captured by farm earthworks.
