GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

USES

The product is a short residual pre-emergent herbicide for the control of many important annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in the crops nominated. The product does not control the important broadleaf weeds in maize, sweet corn and Concept II treated sorghum, but when mixed with flowable atrazine (500 g/L) control of many important annual weeds and grasses is obtained without the problem of carryover of herbicides affecting succeeding crops. The product acts mainly through shoot (coleoptile) absorption. Its effectiveness depends on the occurrence of rainfall or irrigation to move it down into the top 3 to 4cm of soil, where it must be present at the time of weed germination.

MIXING

Add the required amount directly to the spray tank, fill with water and mix well.

COMPATIBILITY

Smart Tola 960 Herbicide is compatible with prometryn (500g/L), flowable atrazine (500 g/L), triasulfuron (750g/kg), paraquat (250g/L), and glyphosate.

WARNING – Cotton:

DO NOT use when planting into dry soil or soil with marginal moisture. Under dry planting conditions heavy rain or flood irrigation soon after planting, together with below average soil temperatures, can result in crop injury due to the inability of the germinating seedling to metabolise above normal amounts of herbicide that may accumulate in the root zone as a result of accelerated capillary movement. Smart Tola 960 Herbicide should not be used in situations where these conditions are likely to occur.

WARNING – Brassica crops:

Crop retardation may occur where Smart Tola 960 Herbicide is used on soils that have a low organic matter content and which contain more than 60% of fine sand and silt and less than 5% clay in the top 30 cm. On these soil types, use rates of Smart Tola 960 Herbicide towards the lower end of the rate range and apply onto moist soil. Irrigation after application should be limited to no more than 25mm.

Zero – Tillage (Canola, Barley, Oats, Wheat, Triticale):

When sowing using knife points and zero-tillage and leaving a seeding slot, DO NOT apply post-seeding unless harrows (or similar) tilled-in the seedling slot before application. Alternatively, apply Smart Tola 960 Herbicide immediately before sowing.

DO NOT USE ON SOILS CONTAINING LESS THAN 5% CLAY IN THE TOP 30cm.

DO NOT USE MORE THAN ONCE PER YEAR.

RESISTANCE WEEDS WARNING

GROUP K HERBICIDE

Smart Tola 960 Herbicide is a member of the amide group of herbicides. The product has the diverse sites of action mode of action. For weed resistance management this is Group K herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Smart Tola 960 Herbicide and other group K herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by Smart Tola 960 Herbicide or other group K herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Crop Smart Pty Ltd. accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Smart Tola 960 Herbicide to control the resistant weeds. Advice as to strategies and alternative treatments that can be used should be obtained from your local supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, Primary Industries Department or a Crop Smart representative.

PRECAUTION

Re-entry Period

DO NOT enter treated area until spray has dried.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS

DO NOT plant crops other than maize, sweet corn, tobacco, cotton, soybeans, sunflowers, peanuts, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbages, cauliflowers or Concep II treated sorghum within six months of application of Smart Tola 960 Herbicide.

DRIFT WARNING

DO NOT apply under weather conditions or from spraying equipment that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures.

PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK

Do not graze or cut sweet potato leaves for stock food.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT

DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

Store in the closed, original container in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Triple rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or a designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush, or puncture and deliver empty packaging to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant Local, State or Territory government regulations. DO NOT burn empty containers or product. For refillable containers: Empty contents fully into application equipment. Close all valves and return to point of supply for refill or storage.
