GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

This product is a non-selective liquid herbicide effective in the control of many annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds in crop areas, land preparations and non-crop areas. This product is inactivated on contact with the soil and does not provide residual weed control.
It is absorbed by the plant foliage and green stems, and moves through the plant from point of contact to root system.
Visible effects take 3 to 7 days on annual weeds, whereas on perennial weeds it may take 2 to 3 weeks or longer depending on weather conditions following spraying.
No withholding period is required for this product. However to ensure herbicide absorption, grazing of treated areas should be delayed at least one day after treatment of annual weeds and 7 days for perennial weeds. Certain plants (eg: Soursob, variegated thistle) are known to be naturally toxic to stock. Where known toxic plants are present, do not allow stock to graze until complete brown out of treated plants has occurred.

TANK MIXES
When tank mixing with other products read and follow all label directions, restraints, plant back periods, withholding periods and safety and first aid directions for the tank mix products.
This product is compatible with the following insecticides: Chlorpyrifos, dimethoate, fenitrothion, lmidan*, Le Mat*, metasystox and Sumithion*.
Other insecticides have not been tested.

Atrazines/Trizines
Slayer 450 Herbicide may be tank mixed with Atrazine Flowable or Triazine Flowable for knockdown and residual weed control.

Addition of crystalline ammonium sulphate at 2% w/v (2 kg/100 litre spray solution) is recommended to avoid antagonism.
Dicamba
Slayer 450 Herbicide and Dicamba may be tank mixed for more effective control of Sorrel, Subterranean Clover, medics. 2,4-D
Slayer 450 Herbicide may be tank mixed with 2,4-D Ester or 2,4-D Isopropylamine for improved control of broadleaf weeds.

Chlorsulfuron
Slayer 450 Herbicide and chlorsulfuron tank mix will provide knockdown and residual weed control in fallow and in crop. Observe plant back restrictions for chlorsulfuron.

Metsulfuron
Slayer 450 Herbicide and metsulfuron tank mix provide knockdown ween control in fallows and prior to planting certain winter cereals. Follow all label instructions on the metsulfuron label.
Goal*
CT
The addition of Goal CT at the rate of 75 mL/ha to the recommended rate of Slayer 450 Herbicide prior to planting wheat or barley will improve knockdown and increase the speed at which treated weeds develop visual symptoms of phytotoxicity.

GENERAL SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS

Do not spray this product if rain is likely to occur within 6 hours.
Do not add extra surfactant or mix with other agricultural chemicals, herbicide oils or any other materials unless specifically directed on the label.

APPLICATION

Boom Equipment
Use at spray volume of 25 to 100 L/ha. Fan nozzles at pressure of 240 – 280 Kpa is recommended. Boom height must be set to ensure double overlap of nozzle patterns at the top of the weed canopy.
Knapsack and Handgun Equipment
Adjust equipment to deliver a fine spray pattern and ensure a complete and uniform wetting of all foliage.
Do not spray in conditions conducive to spray drift.

Aerial application
Aerial equipment may only be used to apply this product in pasture or fallow situaitons prior to establishment of field crops, fodder crops, new pasture and for pre-harvest applications to sorghum crops. DO NOT use in intensive horticultural areas.
Use the recommended rates on this label up to a maximum of 3.2L/ha.
For micronair and boom equipment apply in a minimum spray volume of at least 15L/ha with an average droplet size of (or VMD) of 250-350 micron diameter. Swath width should be 15-17m.

Application on hilly terrain
As spraying height may vary, to maximize target contact increase water volume to 30-80L/ha and increase droplet size to at least 300 micron (VMD).
