DIRECTIONS FOR USE
RESTRAINTS
Do NOT apply to very wet soils if rain is imminent or to soils prone to waterlogging. Do NOT apply to soils of very high organic matter content.
Do NOT apply to crops or weeds under stress caused by factors such as root or foliar diseases, nutrient deficiencies, or extremes of temperature or moisture.

CHICKPEAS
Pre-emergence
Weeds Controlled: Deadnettle (Lamium amplexicaule), Indian hedge mustard (Sisymbrium orientale), white ironweed (Buglossoides arvensis), wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum), wireweed (Polygonum aviculare)
State: Vic, SA only
Rate Per ha: 45 g plus 1.0 to 1.5 L Simazine(500 g/L)
Critical Comments: Apply to moist, well prepared, clod and weed-free soil after planting and before crop emergence. Sufficient rainfall is required after application and prior to weed emergence to wet soil to a depth of 5 cm.
Use the higher rate of simazine on heavier soils, or where higher weed pressure is expected, or where wireweed is a problem.
Under adverse conditions, weeds may not be totally controlled but populations will be significantly reduced and surviving plants will generally be severely retarded. Good crop growth will aid weed control.
Transient yellowing or reddening of the crop may occur. The risk of crop injury may be increased under adverse growing conditions.
Do NOT use this mixture on soils, and in areas, ill-suited to growing chickpeas as crop injury will be increased.

NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION.

WITHHOLDING PERIOD:
DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT FOR STOCK FOOD FOR 14 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION. HARVEST: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This product can be used for either pre- or post-emergence weed control depending on the crop and weeds to be controlled. When the product is applied pre-emergence, susceptible weeds may emerge but growth will be retarded and weeds will either die or remain stunted and will not compete with the crop. Adequate soil moisture is important for optimum activity. When applied post-emergence, weeds will either die or remain stunted and will not compete with the crop. A non-ionic surfactant, or an adjuvant as specified in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE, must be added to SPINNAKER for post-emergence weed control. The addition of a liquid ammonium sulphate at a rate of 2 L/100 L water may assist in post-emergence control of summer growing weeds.

MIXING
This product mixes readily with both hard and soft water. Fill the spray tank one half to three quarters full with clean water and then, with the agitator running, add the required amount of this product and then fill the tank with water. When tank mixing this product with other recommended compatible products, first add the other product to the tank and mix thoroughly before adding this product.

APPLICATION
SPINNAKER should not be applied for a minimum of two hours before rainfall or irrigation.
Ground Application: Avoid overlaps when spraying. Apply in 50 to 100 L/ha water using flat fan nozzles. The product may be applied in a band over the row in row crops. This will assist in minimising soil residue carry-over. Aerial Application (Pre-emergence only): Avoid overlaps when spraying. Apply in a minimum 20 L/ha water in a maximum swath width of 18 m using a droplet VMD of 230-280 microns. Do NOT apply SPINNAKER under conditions (e.g., dead calm, excessive wind and/or small droplets) likely to cause spray drift onto wetlands or waterways, natural vegetation, crops other than specified on label or land to be planted with susceptible crops.

EQUIPMENT CLEAN-UP
Thoroughly flush all spray equipment with water following use of SPINNAKER and before use with other products. Rinse water should NOT be discharged where it will reach streams, waterbodies or natural vegetation.

COMPATIBILITY
This product is compatible with Rifle 330, STOMP 440, trifluralin, metribuzin, cyanazine, glyphosate, paraquat plus diquat, diquat, simazine, diflufenican, dimethoate, and omethoate.
Do NOT tank mix with selective post-emergence grass herbicides. Do NOT apply these herbicides following use of SPINNAKER until grasses have resumed active growth

HERBICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING
GROUP B HERBICIDE
SPINNAKER Herbicide is a member of the Imidazolinone group of herbicides. SPINNAKER has the inhibition of acetolactate synthase (ALS) mode of action. For weed resistance management, SPINNAKER is a Group B herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to SPINNAKER and other Group B 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 weeds will not be controlled by SPINNAKER or other Group B herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, BASF Australia Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from failure of SPINNAKER to control resistant weeds.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS
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.
Do NOT spray within 50 m of wetlands or waterways.
Crop Safety: This product may cause slight shortening of plant internodes and may in some circumstances lead to transient crop yellowing but plants soon recover and yield is unaffected. This effect may be more pronounced when the product is used post-emergence or under poor growth conditions.
Do NOT use this product pre-emergence on Collegian and Cressy Blue field pea varieties. Do NOT use this product post-emergence on field pea varieties other than Alma, Dun, Dundale, Early Dun and Wirrega.
Do NOT use pre-emergence on serradella, seedling lucerne or subterranean clover. Do NOT use post-emergence on chickpeas, faba beans or mung beans.
Should re-sowing of chickpeas, faba beans, field peas, lucerne, mung beans, peanuts, serradella, soybeans or subterranean clover be necessary, do NOT reapply SPINNAKER.
Follow Crops: Under conditions which do not favour breakdown of this product, carry-over soil residues can affect susceptible follow crops. As environmental and agronomic factors make it impossible to eliminate all risks associated with the use of this product, rotational crop injury is always possible.
The following minimum re-cropping intervals (months after application) should be observed.
