Selective herbicide for the control of certain weeds in wheat and triticale.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Conquest Sulfotron herbicide is a selective herbicide absorbed by foliage and roots. It is rapidly translocated and acts by inhibiting acetolactate synthase (ALS), an enzyme necessary for root and shoot growth in sensitive plants. Conquest Sulfotron herbicide is a water dispersible granular herbicide for use in wheat and triticale. It can be used as a pre-plant, incorporated by sowing, for the control of wild turnip and suppression of barley grass and brome grass, or as a post-emergent for the control of silvergrass, wild radish and wild turnip, and suppression of barley grass, brome grass, wild mustard (Sinapsis arvensis) and wild oats. 
Pre-emergent Apply to bare soil prior to sowing or at sowing and incorporate by the sowing operation to give through mixing. If applied to dry soil and sowing is to be delayed, incorporate immediately after spraying to prevent loss by wind erosion. For best results apply to moist soil when follow up rain is likely to occur within 7-10 days. Weeds may emerge and will become stunted and uncompetitive soon after application although final results may not show for some weeks.
Post-emergent Weeds should be young and actively growing. Use the higher rate under heavy weeds pressure and for larger weeds. A follow up spray with a suitable herbicide may be necessary to control subsequent germinations. Best weed control is obtained when rainfall wets the soil to a depth of 5 to 7.5cm within 7-10 days of application. Weeds will become stunted and uncompetitive soon after application although final results may not show for some weeks.
When treatment is delayed or where weeds are not actively growing due to adverse conditions, for example, dry, waterlogged, frosty or diseased conditions, nutrient deficiency, high insect pressure or previous herbicide treatment, reduced levels of control may result.
Conquest Sulfotron herbicide will remain in the soil for a period of time. The persistence of Conquest Sulfotron herbicide in the soil is dependent on various environmental conditions e.g. soil pH, soil moisture, soil temperature and organic matter. Crops other than wheat and triticale may be very sensitive to low soil concentrations of Conquest Sulfotron herbicide, thus prior to using the product, careful consideration should be given to crop rotation plans (see Crop Safety and Crop Rotation Guidelines).

MIXING
Conquest Sulfotron herbicide is a water dispersible granular herbicide which mixes readily with water and is applied as a spray.
1. Partly fill the spray tank with water.
2. Start the agitation.
3. Add the correct amount of product to the spray tank with the agitation system running.
4. Continue agitation while topping up the tank with water and while spraying.
5. In tank mixes, Conquest Sulfotron herbicide must be in suspension before adding the companion product or surfactant (e.g. Bonza). 6. Use the spray mix within 24 hours of preparation.

Application
Apply by boom spray producing a FINE to MEDIUM spray quality. Ensure good spray coverage is obtained. Apply using 40 to 100 litres of water per hectare. Avoid overlapping of boom runs. Use higher water volumes where crop or weed density is high. DO NOT apply by aircraft.
