DIRECTIONS FOR USE
RESTRAINTS:
DO NOT use in irrigation channels or drains UNLESS ALL irrigation tailwater and rainfall can be captured and held on farm. Do NOT sow sensitive summer crops such as sorghum and millets within 12 months of application of STOMP Xtra.
Do NOT apply to a poorly prepared seedbed.
Do NOT use STOMP Xtra mixed with atrazine on heavy clay soils. Do NOT apply STOMP Xtra where waterlogging is likely to occur. Do NOT apply STOMP Xtra by aerial application to sugar cane.

1. PRE-PLANT INCORPORATED TREATMENT (DOUBLE INCORPORATION)

COTTON
Weeds Controlled: See Weed Table A
State: Qld, NSW only
Rate/ Treated ha: 2.2 L/ha

COW PEAS, MUNG BEANS, NAVY BEANS, PEANUTS, PIGEON PEAS AND SOYBEANS
Weeds Controlled: See Weed Table A
State: Qld, NSW, ACT, NT only
Rate/ Treated ha: 1.8 to 2.2 L/ha

Critical Comments: Incorporate into the soil within 24 hours of application. Use a combine with trailing harrows and chain or offset or tandem discs or Lilliston cultivators, set to work to a depth of 2-5 cm. Subsequent planting operations in irrigated cotton may remove the STOMP Xtra treated soil from hills leaving an untreated band over the row, requiring a further application of STOMP Xtra or other herbicides in that band. When the seedbed is rough, a second incorporation is necessary. STOMP Xtra may be applied by aerial or ground spraying. In the Macquarie Valley area, only apply by air when ground is too wet for ground application. (Refer note on “Incorporation” (a)).
Use the higher rate on heavy textured soils or those high in organic matter and the lower rate on light to medium textured soils.

State: Qld, NSW, ACT, SA only
Rate/ Treated ha: 3.3 L/ha 

Critical Comments: 
COTTON: Where incorporation prior to sowing is impractical and where the seedbed tilth is fine and free of large stones and trash, STOMP Xtra should be applied within 48 hours after sowing.
SUNFLOWERS: Where incorporation prior to sowing is impractical and where the seedbed tilth is fine and free of large stones and trash, STOMP Xtra 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 (No. 1 application method), is preferred. (Refer section on "Incorporation" (a) and (b)).

Critical Comments: 
MINIMUM PLANTING DEPTH
Carrots: 15 mm
Processing peas, Broad beans and French beans: 30 mm
Seed should be sown with press wheels or rollers behind the planter in order to ensure coverage of the seed and compaction of the seed bed.
Apply STOMP Xtra to a fine firm seedbed free of ridges, clods and trash within 2 days after sowing. Use the higher rates on heavier textured soils or those with a higher organic matter content.
Incorporate with 12 to 25 mm of spray irrigation or rainfall applied within one day of application for optimum performance. Do NOT disturb the soil by rolling or harrowing after STOMP Xtra has been applied. Do NOT apply where heavy rainfall or irrigation is likely to lead to water-logging.
Do NOT use STOMP Xtra on soils with an organic matter content above 6% as inconsistent weed control will occur. FRENCH BEANS: For Qld, use in the Lockyer and Fassifern valleys only.
Do NOT apply to French beans sown during the autumn, winter or early spring or which are likely to be stressed by cold weather.

MAIZE
Weeds Controlled: See Weed Table B
State: Qld, NSW, ACT, NT only
Rate/ Treated ha: 3.3 L/ha
Critical Comments: Where grasses are expected to be the major problem, this treatment is recommended - STOMP Xtra alone. Apply STOMP Xtra after planting and before emergence of crop and weeds. Do NOT incorporate this treatment. Avoid application in dry weather; this may cause pruning of aerial roots and lodging. (Refer sections on "Incorporation" (b) and (c)).

Weeds Controlled: See Weed Table C
State: Qld, NSW, ACT, NT only
Rate/ Treated ha: 2.2 L/ha plus atrazine at 1.0 kg ac/ha
Critical Comments: Where thornapple, Noogoora burr, Bathurst burr, caltrop, paddy melon or mintweed are expected to be the major problems, STOMP Xtra should be applied in a tank mix combination with atrazine after planting and before the emergence of crop and weeds. 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 Xtra mixed with atrazine on heavy clay soils as weed control may not be adequate. (Refer section on "Incorporation" (b) and (c)).

ONIONS
Weeds Controlled: Hogweed (wireweed) (Polygonum aviculare)
State: Tas only
Rate/ Treated ha: 550 mL to 730 mL
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.
Pre-emergence: Do NOT use on sandy soils. MINIMUM PLANTING DEPTH: 15 mm
Apply from immediately after sowing until just prior to emergence. Apply STOMP Xtra to a fine, firm seedbed free of clods and trash. Use the higher rates on heavy textured soils or those with a high organic matter content. For optimum performance, incorporate with no more than 12 mm of spray irrigation within one day of application. Do NOT exceed 550 mL/ha if soil conditions are wet and cold.
Rate/ Treated ha: 730 mL to 1.45 L
Critical Comments: 
Post-emergence: Apply STOMP Xtra from the first true leaf until the 3 leaf stage. Repeat applications may be made after the 1 leaf up to the 3 leaf stage providing total usage of STOMP Xtra on crop does not exceed 2.2 L/ha.
Avoid applying STOMP Xtra to areas where water logging is likely to occur.
State: NSW, ACT, VIC, SA and WA only
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 12 mm irrigation) for at least 5 days after application.
AVOID application to areas where water logging is likely to occur.
DO NOT apply if heavy rain is likely within a week of application, as crop damage may result. DO NOT exceed 550 mL/ha if soil conditions are wet and cold.
DO NOT apply more than 3 times per season. DO NOT apply more than 2.2 L/ha per season.
Rate/ Treated ha: 550 mL to 730 mL (see Critical comments)
Critical Comments: 
Light/ sandy soils
DO NOT apply pre-emergence.
Application to moist soil is best.
Apply 550 -730 mL/ha post emergence at the 4-5 leaf stage, with 1-2 further applications of 550 -730 mL/ha as needed throughout the season (approx 3-4 weeks apart)
Rate/ Treated ha: 730 mL to 1.45 L (see Critical comments)
Critical Comments: 
Heavy/high organic matter soils
Application to moist soil is best.
Apply 730 mL-1.45L/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 730 mL-1.1L/ha post emergence may be made at the 2 leaf stage. (Application at this stage may cause yellowing of onions).

4. POST-PLANT PRE-EMERGENCE TREATMENT (INCORPORATED OR NON-INCORPORATED)

SUGAR-CANE
Weeds Controlled: Awnless barnyard grass (Echinochloa colona), crowsfoot grass (Eleusine indica), green summer grass (Brachiaria subquadripara), guinea grass (Panicum maximum cv. Hamil and cv. Guinea), summer grass (Digitaria ciliaris)
State: Qld, NSW, WA only
Rate/ Treated ha: 2.2 to 3.3 L/ha
Critical Comments: STOMP Xtra should be applied as soon as possible after planting and before sugarcane and weed emergence. Consolidation (cutaway operation) of the planting furrow prior to application to prevent soil movement into the base of the drill is recommended. Poor grass control is expected in soils which contain a high percentage of organic matter. (Refer section on "Incorporation" (a)).
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.
INCORPORATED: Under dry conditions or where some cultivation is expected after application STOMP Xtra 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 to 25 mm of spray irrigation or rainfall. Incorporate as soon as possible and within
3-5 days after 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 Xtra, resulting in the movement of soil from the top to the bottom of the planting drill, weed control will be reduced.
Flood irrigation may not incorporate STOMP Xtra adequately if soils in the treatment area are variable or difficult to wet.

5. POST-PLANT PRE-EMERGENCE TREATMENT (INCORPORATED OR NON-INCORPORATED)

SUGAR-CANE
Weeds Controlled: Blue top (blue billygoat weed) (Ageratum houstonianum)

7. PERENNIAL CROPS

AVOCADOES, BANANAS, CITRUS, DECIDOUS FRUITS, LYCHEES, MACADAMIA NUT, MANGOES, NUTS, OLIVES
(not grapevines)
Weeds Controlled: Dwarf amaranth, green amaranth, annual ryegrass, asthma plant (Euphorbia hirta), barnyard grass, chickweed (Stellaria media), crowsfoot grass, deadnettle (Lamium amplexicaule), fat hen (Chenopodium album), pigeon grass, pigweed (Portulaca oleracea), prickly lettuce (Lactuca serriola), sowthistle, summer grass, winter grass, wireweed
State: All States
Rate/ Treated ha: 6.5 to 8.7 L/ha

CITRUS, DECIDOUS FRUITS AND NUTS
(not grapevines)
Weeds Controlled: As above plus cobbler's pegs (Bidens pilosa), curious weed (Schkuhria pinnata), stinking Roger (Tagetes minuta)
Rate/ Treated ha: 6.5 L/ha plus simazine at 800 g ac/ha

Weeds Controlled: As above plus caltrop (Tribulus terrestris)
Rate/ Treated ha: 8.7 L/ha plus simazine at 1 kg ac/ha

Critical Comments: STOMP Xtra alone or STOMP Xtra 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 Xtra to avoid contact with roots
Crop damage and/or reduced weed control may result if STOMP XTRA 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 - 15 mm of rain or sprinkler irrigation is normally required to incorporate STOMP XTRA 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 Xtra should be tank mixed with a knockdown herbicide at the recommended rate.
DO NOT apply simazine mixtures to alkaline soils.
As above plus prairie grass (Bromus unioloides), spotted medic (Medicago arabica) 8.7 L/ha

EUCALYPT FORESTRY PLANTATIONS
Weeds Controlled: Amaranths (Amaranthus spp.), annual rye grass, asthma plant (Euphorbia hirta), barnyard grass (Echinachloa crus-galli), chickweed (Stellaria media), crowsfoot grass (Eluesine indica), deadnettle (Lamium amplexicaule), fat hen (Chenopodium album), pigeon grass (Setairia spp.), pigweed (Portulaca oleracea), prickly lettuce (Lactuca serriola), stagger weed (Stachys arvensis), sow thistle (Sonchus oleraceus), summer grass (Digitaria ciliaris), winter grass (Poa annua), wireweed (Polygonum aviculare)
State: All States
Rate/ Treated ha: 6.5 L to 8.7 L/ha
Critical Comments: 
PRE-PLANTING: Apply 7 to 2 days prior to transplanting. Use the higher rate on heavier textured soils or soils with higher organic matter. Mechanical disturbance should be minimised during planting to optimise performance.
POST-PLANTING: Apply immediately following planting, before emergence of weeds. Repeat applications may be made as directed sprays to provide pre-emergence control of weeds.
Emerged weeds should be controlled with carefully directed applications of a non-selective herbicide or over-the-top application of a selective herbicide. If applied to freshly transplanted trees, soils should be compacted prior to application to avoid contact with roots. Weed control may be reduced if rainfall or irrigation does not occur within 10 days of application. Flood irrigation may reduce control.

8. IRRIGATION CHANNELS

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
STOMP Xtra Herbicide is a selective herbicide for the control of most annual grasses and certain broadleafed weeds. STOMP Xtra 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 Xtra 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.
Caution: Prolonged periods of rainfall and/or excessive soil moisture at or following application may delay breakdown of STOMP Xtra capsules, resulting in reduced weed control.
STOMP Xtra may stain (yellow) any objects it contacts. Keep all objects, etc. that are not to be stained well clear of the product and spray.

MIXING
Shake, invert or roll container several times before use. Put half the required volume of water in spray tank and start agitation. When using STOMP Xtra alone, add STOMP Xtra to partially filled tank and then add the remainder of the water. Mix thoroughly.
When using STOMP Xtra in tank mixes with products such as atrazine or diuron, mix these products as indicated on the relevant label and add the STOMP Xtra 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 Xtra with paraquat and glyphosate herbicides, the STOMP Xtra should be thoroughly mixed in the spray tank first, before adding a paraquat or glyphosate product.
Tank mix: 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.

APPLICATION METHOD
Ground Application: Use conventional sprayers with either mechanical or by-pass agitation. Flat fan nozzles should be used. Spray equipment should be correctly calibrated to ensure proper application. If applying STOMP Xtra in tank mix combination with atrazine or diuron, nozzle screens must be no finer than 50 mesh. Apply the recommended quantity of STOMP Xtra in 50-200 litres of water per hectare. Where pre-emergence surface treatment is used, the higher rates of water are recommended.
Aerial Application:
Pre-plant soybeans, cotton, sunflowers, peanuts, navy beans, cow peas, mung beans, pigeon peas
Apply the recommended quantity of STOMP Xtra in 25-60 litres 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 than 16 km/hour. Always spray with a cross wind in accordance with recommended flying practice.
Do NOT apply STOMP Xtra Herbicide by aerial spraying in eucalypt forestry situations.

INCORPORATION:
(a) STOMP Xtra 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.
(b) Post-plant pre-emergence surface applications of STOMP Xtra alone, or as a tank mixture, are most effective in controlling weeds when adequate rainfall occurs or irrigation is applied as soon as possible and within 3-5 days after treatment to achieve incorporation. If no rain or irrigation is received within 3-5 days, light mechanical incorporation is required for optimum weed control, except when used on maize, carrots and rice, or on sugarcane, if water incorporation is used.
(c) Maize is tolerant to STOMP Xtra either alone or in mixtures with atrazine if the seed germinates below
the chemically treated band. Maize, carrots and rice are NOT tolerant to STOMP Xtra if it is in direct contact with the seed.

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.

HERBICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING
GROUP D HERBICIDE
STOMP Xtra Herbicide is a member of the dinitroaniline group of herbicides. STOMP has the inhibition of tubulin formation mode of action. For weed resistance management, STOMP is a Group D herbicide. Some naturally- occurring weed biotypes resistant to STOMP 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 or other Group D 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 the failure of STOMP to control resistant weeds.

COMPATIBILITY
Physical compatibility of STOMP Xtra has been tested with the following herbicides:
atrazine, simazine, prometryn, fluometuron , fluometuron plus prometryn, ametryn, paraquat, propanil, linuron, glyphosate, Ramrod* Flowable, Logran* and triallate. 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 15 cm 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 retilled area.
The following crops may be sown after a minimum interval of 2 months after application of STOMP Xtra:
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 Xtra:
turnips, lettuce, radish, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, onions, leeks, sweetcorn, pumpkins, squash, melons, cucumbers.
The following crops may be sown after a minimum interval of 12 months after application of STOMP Xtra:
redbeet (beetroot), spinach, silverbeet, poppy.

PRECAUTION
Re-entry period
Do NOT allow entry into treated areas for 12 hours. When prior entry is necessary, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.
