PRE-PLANT APPLICATION (INCORPORATED BY THE SOWING PROCESS)

BARLEY AND WHEAT
(including crops with undersown lucerne) 
Weeds Controlled: Annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum), Wireweed Polygonum aviculare), Wild oats (Avena spp.) (1)
(1) Suppression only
State: All States 
Rate: 1.35L/ha

CANOLA
(including crops with undersown lucerne) 
Weeds Controlled: Annual ryegrass (Lolium rigidum), Wireweed Polygonum aviculare), Wild oats (Avena spp.) (1)
(1) Suppression only 
State: Southern NSW, ACT, Vic, SA, WA, Tas only
Rate: 1.35-2.25L/ha 

Weeds Controlled: Silvergrass (1) (Vulpia spp.)
(1) Suppression only 
State: Southern NSW, ACT, Vic, SA, WA, Tas only
Rate: 1.5-2.25L/ha 

Critical Comments: 
Barley and wheat (Including crops where lucerne is undersown): Where full (double) incorporation is impractical and where the seedbed tilth is fine and free of large stones and trash, apply STOMP 440 up to 24 hours prior to sowing. Incorporate with the combine set to sow to a depth of 3-5cm. Use trailing harrows. (Refer note (a) under "Incorporation"). In minimum till situations, only light incorporation will occur due to soil displaced by the points. Trailing harrows should be used to provide better incorporation and weed control. Avoid heavy trash situations which may result in uneven application and incorporation, leading to reduced weed control. Wheat and barley seed must be sown at least 1cm beneath the chemically treated band or reduced emergence may occur. Refer sections "Cereal Seed Dressings" and "Weather Conditions at Planting", under GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS, for further information on emergence. CAUTION: Ensure thorough incorporation to maximise safety to undersown lucerne. Canola (Including crops where lucerne is undersown): Apply STOMP 440 up to 24 hours prior to sowing. Ensure that STOMP is well incorporated. Sow canola with a seeding depth of 1-3cm, at the appropriate depth for conditions. Canola seed can be placed within the treated band. DO NOT apply to Canola post plant pre-emergence. Use the higher rates on medium to heavy textured soils and the lower rates on light textured soils. NOTE: Development of water-logged conditions after the application of STOMP 440 may retard the emergence of canola. If wild oats are expected to be a problem use a wild oat herbicide. Application to heavier soil types which have poor structural characteristics or are poorly worked may result in insufficient and uneven incorporation and unsatisfactory weed control. Heavy soils which are cloddy or have a surface crust or surface seal should be avoided. Attempting to incorporate STOMP 440 when soils are very wet or very dry may also result in insufficient mixing and therefore poor weed control. CAUTION: Ensure thorough incorporation to maximise safety to undersown lucerne. Use the lower rate when canola is undersown with lucerne.

CHICKPEAS, FABA BEANS, FIELD PEAS, LENTILS, LUPINS AND SAFFLOWER

Rate: 1.5L/ha plus simazine at 500g ai/ha 
State: NSW, ACT, Vic, SA only 
Rate: 1.5L/ha plus simazine at 1.5kg ai/ha

Critical Comments: Where full (double) incorporation is impractical and where the seedbed tilth is fine and free of large stones and trash, apply STOMP 440 or in the case of lupins, STOMP 440 plus simazine, up to 24 hours prior to sowing. Incorporate with the combine set to sow to a depth of 3-5cm. Use trailing harrows. (Refer note (a) under "Incorporation"). Application to heavier soil types which have poor structural characteristics or are poorly worked may result in insufficient and uneven incorporation and unsatisfactory weed control. Heavy soils which are cloddy or have a surface crust or a surface seal should be avoided. Attempting to incorporate STOMP 440 when soils are very wet or very dry may also result in insufficient mixing and therefore poor weed control. Refer to section on" Weather Conditions at Planting", under GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS, for further information on emergence. If wild oats are expected to be a problem use a wild oat herbicide. Use the higher rates on medium to heavy textured soils and the lower rates on light textured soils.

PRE-PLANT INCORPORATION (DOUBLE INCORPORATION):

NOTE: For all crops listed in the double incorporation table below: Incorporate Stomp 440 into the soil within 24 hours of application. Refer to the Notes on Incorporation under the heading General Instructions. Where a range of application rates are provided, use the higher rate on heavy textured soils or those high in organic matter and the lower rate on light to medium textured soils. Application to soil types with poor structural characteristics or that are poorly worked may result in insufficient or uneven incorporation and, subsequently less than satisfactory weed control. Heavy soils, which are cloddy or have a surface crust or surface seal, are to be avoided. Attempting to incorporate Stomp 440 when soils are very wet or very dry may also result in poor weed control due to insufficient mixing. Refer to the General Instructions, especially “Cereal Seed Dressings” and “Weather Conditions at Planting” for further information on emergence.

(1) Lupins: in Tasmania, use only on the species Lupinus angustifolius. DO NOT use on L. albus. Where full (double) incorporation is impractical and where the seedbed tilth is fine and free of large stones and trash, apply STOMP 440 or in the case of lupins, STOMP 440 plus simazine, up to 24 hours prior to sowing. Incorporate with the combine set to sow to a depth of 3-5cm. Use trailing harrows. (Refer note (a) under "Incorporation"). Application to heavier soil types which have poor structural characteristics or are poorly worked may result in insufficient and uneven incorporation and unsatisfactory weed control. Heavy soils which are cloddy or have a surface crust or a surface seal should be avoided. Attempting to incorporate STOMP 440 when soils are very wet or very dry may also result in insufficient mixing and therefore poor weed control.

Refer to critical comments on previous page plus:
Canola: Apply Stomp 440 up to 24 hours prior to sowing. Ensure that STOMP is well incorporated. Sow canola with a seeding depth of 1-3cm, at the appropriate depth for conditions. Canola seed can be placed within the treated band. Incorporate with the combine set to sow the seed below the chemical band. Use the higher rates on medium to heavy textured soils and the lower rates on light textured soils. NOTE: Development in water-logged conditions after the application of Stomp 440 may retard the emergence of canola
If wild oats are expected to be a problem use a wild oat herbicide. Application to heavier soil types which have poor structural characteristics or are poorly worked may result in insufficient and uneven incorporation and unsatisfactory weed control. Heavy soils which are cloddy or have a surface crust or surface seal should be avoided. Attempting to incorporate Stomp 440 when soils are very wet or very dry may also result in insufficient mixing and therefore poor weed control. CAUTION: Ensure thorough incorporation to maximise safety to undersown lucerne. Use the lower rate when canola is undersown with lucerne. DO NOT apply to Canola post plant pre-emergence.

POST-PLANT PRE-EMERGENCE APPLICATION (OVERALL BAND SPRAYING): NON-MECHANICAL INCORPORATION

COTTON
Weeds Controlled: See Weed Table B
State: Qld and NSW only
Rate: 3.4L/ha 
Critical Comments: Where incorporation prior to sowing is impractical and where the seedbed tilth is fine and free of large stones and trash, Stomp 440 should be applied within 48 hours after sowing.

SUNFLOWERS
Weeds Controlled: See Weed Table B
State: Qld, NSW and SA only 
Rate: 3.4L/ha 
Critical Comments: Where incorporation prior to sowing is impractical and where the seedbed tilth is fine and free of large stones and trash, Stomp 440 should be applied after sowing and before the emergence of the crop and weeds. Where Fat hen or Blackberry nightshade is expected to be a major problem, pre-plant incorporation is preferred. Refer to the relevant sections under the heading “Incorporation” in “General Instructions”.

MAIZE
Weeds Controlled: See Weed Table B
State: Qld, NSW, and NT only 
Rate: 3.4L/ha 
Critical Comments: Use Stomp 440 after planting and before emergence of the crop or weeds, especially where grasses are expected to be the major problem. DO NOT incorporate. Avoid application in dry weather as this may cause pruning of aerial roots and lodging. Refer to the relevant sections under “Incorporation” in the “General Instructions”.

Weeds Controlled: See Weed Table C 
State: Qld, NSW, and NT only 
Rate: 2.25L/ha plus 1.1kg/ha Atradex WG or 2L/ha Crop Care Atrazine Flowable
Critical Comments: Stomp 440 should be applied in a tank mix with Atradex WG after planting and before the emergence of crop and weeds, where Thornapple, Noogoora burr, Bathurst burr, Caltrop, Paddy melon or Mintweed are expected to be a major problem. DO NOT incorporate this mixture. Follow directions on atrazine label carefully. This treatment should not lead to soil residue problems with atrazine as the application rate is low. DO NOT use Stomp 440 mixed with atrazine on heavy clay soils, as weed control may not be adequate. Refer to the section on “Incorporation” under the heading “General Instructions”.

State: NSW, ACT, VIC, SA and WA only 
Rate: 0.75-1.5L/ha 

Weeds Controlled: Hogweed (Wireweed) (Polygonum aviculare) 
State: NSW, ACT, VIC, SA and WA only 
Rate: 0.75-1.5L/ha
Critical Comments: 
- Apply in conjunction with other herbicides as advised by a qualified crop adviser to ensure that an adequate level of weed control is achieved in adverse conditions.
- Depth of sowing is critical. Onions must be sown to a depth of at least 15mm with press wheels or rollers behind planter to ensure coverage and compaction.
- DO NOT disturb the soil by rolling or harrowing after application.
- For optimum performance, incorporate with spray irrigation within a day of planting. However, DO NOT water heavily (no more than 12mm irrigation) for at least 5 days after application.
- AVOID application to areas where water loggings likely to occur.
- DO NOT apply if heavy rain is likely within a week of application, as crop damage may result.
- DO NOT exceed 0.75L/ha if soil conditions are wet and cold.
- DO NOT apply more than 3 times per season.
- DO NOT apply more than 3L/ha per season.
Rate: 0.56–0.75L/ha (see Critical comments)
Critical Comments: 
Light/ sandy soils
DO NOT apply pre-emergence.
Application to moist soil is best.
Apply 0.56-0.75L/ha post emergence at the 4-5 leaf stage, with 1-2 further applications of 0.56-0.75L/ha as needed throughout the season(approx 3-4 weeks apart)
Rate: 0.75–1.5L/ha (see Critical comments)
Critical Comments: 
Heavy/high organic matter soils.
Application to moist soil is best. Apply 0.75-1.5L/ha pre- emergence within 2 days of planting. Apply to a fine firm seed bed free of ridges, clods and trash.
For furrow irrigated crops, application to a dry seed bed, followed by irrigation within 5 days is optimal. An application of 0.75-1.1L/ha post emergence may be made at the 2 leaf stage. (Application at this stage may cause yellowing of onions).

POST-PLANT, PRE-EMERGENCE TREATMENT (INCORPORATED OR NON-INCORPORATED)

SUGAR CANE
Weeds Controlled: Summer grass (Digitaria cillaris), Awnless barnyard grass (Echinochloa colona), Crowsfoot grass (Eleusine indica), Guinea grass (Panicum maximum c.v Hamil and c.v Guinea), Green Summer grass (Brachiaria subquadripara) 
State: Qld, NSW and WA only
Rate: 2.25-3.4L/ha 

Weeds Controlled: Blue top (Blue billygoat Weed) (Ageratum houstonianum) 
State: Qld, NSW and WA only
Rate: 2.25L/ha plus 1.7kg/ha Atradex or (3L/ha Crop Care Atrazine Flowable) or 1.7kg/ha Diurex WG

Critical Comments: Stomp 440 should be applied as soon as possible after planting and before weed emergence. Consolidation (cutaway operation) of the planting furrow prior to application, to prevent soil movement into the base of the drill, is recommended. Expect poor grass control in soils, which contain a high percentage of organic matter. (Refer to “Incorporation” under “General Instructions”). Use the higher rate where longer weed control is required, or where incorporation by irrigation or rainfall is likely to be delayed more than 5 days.
NOTE: INCORPORATION: Under dry conditions or where some cultivation is expected after application Stomp 440 should be thoroughly incorporated by finger rakes to a shallow depth. In subsequent tillage operations, cultivation depth should not exceed the depth of incorporation.
WATER INCORPORATION: Incorporate using 12-25mm of spray irrigation or when suitable rainfall is expected within 10 days of application. The area should not be disturbed by cultivation for the expected duration of weed control where this method of application is used. If excessive irrigation or rainfall occurs after the application of Stomp 440, resulting in the movement of soil from the top to the bottom of the planting drill, weed control will be reduced. For other broadleaf weeds higher rates of atrazine or diuron can be tank mixed with Stomp 440 - see the relevant atrazine or diuron labels for details.
TANK MIXTURES: Read and follow all label directions including restraints, spray drift restraints, mandatory no-spray zones, critical comments, withholding periods, regional use restrictions and safety directions for the tank mix products.

Weeds Controlled: Barnyard grass (E. crus-galli), Blackberry nightshade (Solanum nigrum), Blue top (Blue billygoat weed) (Ageratum houstonianum), Common sida (Sida rhombifolia), Giant/Black pigweed (Trianthema portulacastrum), Glossy nightshade (Solanum americanum), Green amaranth (Amaranthus viridis), Ipomoea spp., Liverseed grass (Urochloa panicoides), Milkweed (Mexican fire plant) (Euphorbia heterophylla), Pigweed (Portulaca oleracea) 
State: Qld, NSW and WA only 
Rate: 2.25L/ha plus 400mL/ha Flame Herbicide 
Critical Comments: Incorporate into the soil either by overhead irrigation, rainfall or mechanical incorporation, to a minimum depth of 5cm. Incorporate as soon as possible and within 3-5 days after application. Read all directions for use in sugarcane on the Flame Herbicide label.

COMBINE SOWN RICE
Weeds Controlled: Barnyard grass (Echinochloa spp.), Silvertop grass (Brown beetle grass) (Diplachne reptatrix), Starfruit (Damasonium minus) 
State: Qld, NSW and NT only 
Rate: 2.25L/ha plus propanil at 1.8kg ai/ha
Critical Comments: Apply tank mixture up to the 2 leaf stage of Barnyard grass and 1 leaf stage of Silvertop, either by ground rig in 70-100L/ha or by aircraft in 25-30L/ha total spray volume. 
WATER MANAGEMENT: Flush immediately after sowing to enable a good even germination of rice and to ensure the soil surface is sealed. Apply a second flush or permanent flood after 2 days but not later than 5 days after the application. To assist in the control of Barnyard grass, permanent water should be applied as soon as the rice can tolerate it and levels maintained for optimum growth.
RICE STAGE: After the first flushing irrigation, the stage of rice at application of this tank mixture is not critical.
Timing should be based on the stage of weed growth and water management. However, DO NOT apply to rice in a weakened condition as a result of soil salts, moisture stress, over watering, or any other cause. Some transient leaf burn of the rice may result after the application but no long-term effects will result. Rice seed should be covered with at least 1cm of water after the first flushing irrigation before Stomp 440 plus propanil is applied to germinating rice seed.

POST-PLANT AND FLUSHING

COMBINE SOWN RICE AND PASTURE SOD SOWN RICE
Weeds Controlled: As above plus 
Suppression of Annual sedges. (Cyperus spp.) 
State: Qld, NSW and NT only
Rate: 2.25-3.4L/ha plus 800mL/ha Shirquat 250 
Critical Comments: Use the higher rate when sowing into pasture sod sown rice for Annual Sedge Control or when more than 10 days is expected between treatment and permanent water. Apply up to the 3 leaf stage of Barnyard grass, Silvertop and Sedges, before rice emergence. Apply by ground rig in 70-100L/ha of water total spray volume.
WATER MANAGEMENT: Flush immediately after sowing to enable a good even germination of rice. The soil surface must be sealed by a flushing irrigation or rainfall before the application of Stomp 440 plus Shirquat 250. Apply a second flush or permanent flood after 1 day but not later than 5 days after the application of Stomp 440 plus Shirquat 250. To assist in the control of Barnyard grass, permanent water should be applied as soon as the rice can tolerate it and levels maintained for optimum growth of rice.
RICE STAGE: After the first flushing irrigation, Stomp 440 plus Shirquat 250 must be applied before rice emergence. DO NOT apply to rice in a weakened condition from causes such as soil salts, moisture stress, over-watering, or any other cause.

Weeds Controlled: As above plus Caltrop (Tribulis terrestris)
State: All States 
Rate: 9L/ha plus 1.1kg/ha Simagranz or 2L/ha Crop Care Flowable Simazine 

Critical Comments: DO NOT apply Stomp 440 to grapevines after bud swell. PRECAUTION: Stomp 440 or Stomp 440 plus simazine is likely to affect the emergence and growth of green manure crops such as oats or beans between rows of trees or vines, if they are sown into the treated band within 12 months of application. Use the higher rate on medium to heavy textured soils and the lower rate on light textured soils. Use a directed spray avoiding spray contact with green bark, fruit and foliage. If applied to freshly transplanted trees or vines, soils should be compacted prior to application of Stomp 440 to avoid contact with roots. Stomp 440 must be incorporated by a minimum of 5mm of rainfall or spray irrigation as soon as possible but no later than 10 days after application or weed control may be reduced. For best results, soil surface should be free of weeds, surface litter and clods at the time of application. If small weeds are present at the time of application Stomp 440 should be tank mixed with a knockdown herbicide at the recommended rate.
Crop damage and/or reduced weed control may result if STOMP 440 is not incorporated successfully. If insufficient rainfall follows within 10 days after application the product must be incorporated over the whole surface area treated through the use of overhead sprinklers or by mechanical means, using appropriate equipment to avoid root damage. Drip irrigation is inadequate for this purpose. A minimum of 10-15mm of rain or sprinkler irrigation is normally required to incorporate STOMP 440 into the soil. For best results, soil surface should be free of weeds, surface litter and clods at the time of application. If small weeds are present at the time of application, STOMP 440 should be tank mixed with a knockdown herbicide at the recommended rate. Use of simazine could lead to crop damage on vines younger than 3 years of age. Refer to the simazine label. DO NOT apply tank mixtures of Stomp 440 plus simazine to alkaline soils.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Stomp 440 Herbicide is a selective herbicide for the control of most annual grasses and certain broadleaf weeds. Stomp 440 controls weeds by inhibiting seedling development; it will not control established weeds. For best results, seedbeds should be free of weeds, trash and clods at the time of application. Soils containing a high percentage of organic matter can result in poor control. It is recommended that application to soils containing a high percentage of organic matter (greater than 6%) be avoided. Crop injury may result if cold, wet weather follows planting or if Stomp 440 is applied to a poorly prepared seedbed. With the return of favourable growing conditions (warm weather), the crop will usually recover and resume normal growth. NOTE: Stomp 440 will stain (yellow) any objects it contacts. Keep all objects, etc. that are not to be stained well clear of the product and spray.

MIXING
Put half the required volume of water in spray tank and start agitation. When using Stomp 440 alone, add Stomp 440 to partially filled tank and then add the remainder of the water. Mix thoroughly. When using Stomp 440 in tank mixes with products such as atrazine or diuron, mix these products as indicated on the relevant label and add the Stomp 440 last, then complete filling of the tank. Maintain good agitation at all times until spraying is completed. If the spray mixture is allowed to settle, thorough agitation is essential to re-suspend the mixture before spraying is resumed. Note that when tank mixing Stomp 440 with Shirquat 250 and glyphosate herbicides, the Stomp 440 should be thoroughly mixed in the spray tank first, before adding Shirquat 250 or a glyphosate product eg Gladiator.

APPLICATION METHOD
Ground Application
Use conventional sprayers with either mechanical orby-pass agitation. Flat fan nozzles should be used. Spray equipment should be correctly calibrated to ensure proper application. If applying Stomp 440 in tank mix combination with Atradex or Diurex, nozzle screens must be no finer than 50 mesh. Apply the recommended quantity of Stomp 440 in 50-200L of water per hectare. Where pre-emergence surface treatment is used, the higher rates of water per hectare are recommended.
Aerial Application
Pre-plant soybeans, cotton, sunflowers, peanuts, navy beans, cowpeas, mung beans, pigeon peas and post-plant, post flushed combine sown rice only. Apply the recommended quantity of Stomp 440 in 25-60L of water per hectare. It is essential that the equipment is correctly calibrated and an even spray pattern is obtained. It is essential that markers be used and an accurate swath width is maintained. DO NOT apply if wind speed is greater than16km/hour. Always spray with a cross wind in accordance with recommended flying practice. DO NOT apply STOMP 440 Herbicide by aerial spraying in eucalypt forestry situations
Incorporation
- Stomp 440 works best if thoroughly mixed with soil either mechanically or by irrigation or rainfall. The aim of incorporation is to produce an even band of herbicide to intercept germinating weed seeds.
- Post-plant pre-emergence surface applications of Stomp 440 alone, or as a tank mixture, are most effective in controlling weeds when adequate rainfall occurs or irrigation is applied within 7-10 days after treatment to achieve incorporation. If no rain or irrigation is received within 7-10 days, light mechanical incorporation is required for optimum weed control, except when used on maize, carrots and rice.
- Maize is tolerant to Stomp 440 either alone or in mixtures with Atradex if the seed germinates below the chemically treated band. Maize, carrots and rice are NOT tolerant to Stomp 440 if it is indirect contact with the seed.
Cereal Seed Dressing
Some fungicidal seed dressings can shorten coleoptiles length and this can effect emergence particularly if seed is sown too deep. When these cereal seed dressings are used in Stomp 440 treated areas it is very important to ensure there is good seed depth control and to sow just below (1cm) the chemically treated band. Consult your local Department of Agriculture Agronomist for further advice.
Weather Conditions At Planting
Crop injury may result if cold weather follows planting. With the return of favourable growing conditions (warm weather), crops usually recover and resume normal growth. In cereals, prolonged cold wet conditions during germination and emergence can result in wheat or barley coleoptiles remaining in the treated band for an extended period. This can reduce emergence.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING
GROUP D HERBICIDE
Stomp 440 Herbicide is a member of the dinitroaniline group of herbicides. Stomp 440 has the inhibition of tubulin formation mode of action. For weed resistance management, Stomp 440 is a Group D herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to Stomp 440 and other Group D 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 Stomp 440 or other Group D herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, BASF accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Stomp 440 to control resistant weeds.

COMPATIBILITY
Stomp 440 is compatible with the following herbicides: Atradex WG and Crop Care Atrazine Flowable, Diurex WG and Crop Care Diuron Flowable, Simagranz or Crop Care Simazine Flowable, Proton and Proton WG, Reliance Liquid and Reliance WG, Bandit Liquid and Bandit WG, Viking, Shirquat 250, propanil, linuron, glyphosate eg Gladiator, and Ramrod. If tank mixing, observe the directions under mixing.

FOLLOWING CROPS
In the event of crop failure the soil should be cultivated to a minimum depth of 16cm to ensure any residues are evenly dispersed throughout the soil. If a maize crop fails due to weather conditions or some other reason, maize can be replanted the same year without adverse effects but seeding depth must be below the refilled area.

The following crops may be sown after a minimum interval of 2 months after application of Stomp 440
Carrots, parsnips, parsley, celery, potatoes, peas, French beans, transplanted Brassicas, transplanted lettuce, transplanted tomatoes, transplanted capsicums.

The following crops may be sown after a minimum interval of 5 months after application of Stomp 440
Turnips, lettuce, radish, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, onions, leeks, sweet corn, pumpkins, squash, melons, cucumbers.

The following crops may be sown after a minimum interval of 12 months after application of Stomp 440
Redbeet (beetroot), spinach, silverbeet, poppy.
