GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE should be applied only when weeds are actively growing.

MIXING

Fill the spray tank to one-quarter full. Then add RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE while adding water to make up the final spray volume. Pour RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE into the stream of incoming water. Good agitation at the time RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE is added to the tank will ensure good mixing. Add the required amount of D-C-Trate*, Hasten*, or Uptake* oil just before the tank is full of water and with the agitators in motion.

MIXING ORDER

Some products may react with other products if they are not mixed in the correct order. The general mixing order of products should be:

1. Water conditioners or buffers

2. Water dispersible granules (WG)

3. Wettable powders (WP)

4. Flowable or suspension concentrates (SC)

5. Emulsifiable concentrates (EC) (RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE)

6. Water-based or soluble concentrates

7. Oils and wetters – e.g. Hasten, BS 1000

It is important to ensure that each individual component of the tank mix is fully dissolved and in solution before the next product is added to the tank mix, otherwise mixing problems may occur.

MINIMUM OIL VOLUMES

The minimum amount of oil to be applied with RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE will depend on the type of oil used. When applying RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE using low water volumes, DO NOT use less than the minimum oil volumes specified below:

• For oils normally applied at 1% v/v (E.g. D-C-Trate), DO NOT apply less than 500ml oil/ha.

• For oils normally applied at 0.5% v/v (E.g. Uptake, Hasten), DO NOT apply less than 250ml oil/ha.

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT

After using RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose, drain the tank, and clean any filters in the tank, pump, line, and nozzles.

To rinse: after cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses, and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice.

To decontaminate: Before spraying cereals (except wheat), maize, sorghum, or other sensitive crops, wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure. Then quarter fill the tank and add a liquid alkali detergent (e.g. Surf*, OMO*, Drive*) at 0.5L/100L of water and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally, flush the system with clean water and allow draining. Dispose of all water used for cleaning in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, vegetation, and tree roots.

APPLICATION

• Ground Application: Boom spray with flat fan nozzles. Ensure good spray coverage is obtained. Apply using 50 to 110L of water/ha. A medium to coarse spray quality applied at a minimum of 80 L/ha is recommended.

• Aircraft Application: For best results use 30 L of water/ha and spray at 2m to 3m above the crop. A medium to coarse spray quality is recommended. Avoid using RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE if wind speeds are greater than 5 m/second. If spraying in calm conditions use larger droplets and reduce flying height. DO NOT spray when there is a risk of inversion.

COMPATIBILITY

When RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE is applied with compatible herbicides always use a recommended oil. Use only a 100% non-ionic surfactant when mixing with diflufenican-based products.

• Grass Herbicides: RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE is compatible with diclofop-methyl.

• Broadleaf Herbicides: Some broadleaf herbicides are incompatible with RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE because they reduce the effectiveness of RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE or because in mixture they may cause crop yellowing.

INCOMPATIBLE HERBICIDES

The following herbicides are known to be incompatible with RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE: Diuron, Logran, Barrel* (bromoxynil + dicamba + MCPA and all 2,4-D formulations. Herbicides, which are known to be incompatible with RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE, must be applied separately. In this situation, apply RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE first and then allow at least 10 days between its application and application of the broadleaf weed herbicide.

Resistance Warning: RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING GROUP A HERBICIDE RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE is a member of the aryloxyphenoxypropionate (“fop”) group of herbicides. This product has the inhibition of fat (lipid) synthesis (or inhibitors of acetyl CoA carboxylase) mode of action. For weed resistance management, this product is a Group A herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to this product and other Group A 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 this product or other Group A herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Nutrien Ag Solutions Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds. Weed biotypes resistant to diclofop-methyl and other “grass-specific” herbicides can also often be resistant to RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE. Before using RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE on a population resistant to or suspected to be resistant to “grass-specific” herbicides, have a resistance test conducted to ensure that it is susceptible to RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE. Large numbers of healthy surviving weeds can be an indication that resistance is developing. Efforts should be made to prevent seed set of the surviving weeds. DO NOT make more than one application of a Group A herbicide with the inhibition of fat (lipid) synthesis (or inhibitors of acetyl CoA carboxylase) mode of action to a crop in the same season. If the user suspects that the target weed population is resistant to herbicides with this mode of action, RELYON CLODINAFOP 240 HERBICIDE or other Group A herbicides should not be used. Strategies to minimize the risk of herbicide resistance are available. The above recommendations should be incorporated into an Integrated Weed Management (IWM) Programme. Consult your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture or Primary Industries, or Nutrien Ag Solutions representative for details.
