GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

TALISMAN 400 EC quickly kills Marshmallow when applied directly to the leaf. Effects may not be apparent for 3 days or longer under cool, cloudy conditions. Apply treatments to weeds which have at least one true leaf to provide an adequate surface area for herbicide uptake. TALISMAN 400 EC may be used prior to sowing a cereal crop. Weeds should be actively growing at the time of treatment. DO NOT treat weeds under poor growing or dormant conditions (such as occur in drought, waterlogging, disease, insect damage, or following frosts) as reduced weed control may result.

Reduced results may also occur when treating weeds heavily covered with dust or silt. Prior herbicide application may also induce stress in weeds. Rainfall occurring up to 6 hours after application may reduce effectiveness. Heavy rainfall within 2 hours after application may wash the chemical off the foliage and a repeat treatment may be required. Delay treatment of plants wet with dew or rain if water droplets run off when plants are disturbed. Avoid contact with foliage, green stems, or fruit of crops, desirable plants, and trees, since severe injury or destruction may result.

Crop Establishment

TALISMAN 400 EC is recommended for control of emerged Marshmallow weeds prior to crop establishment. Suitable cultivation and/or sowing operations are required to provide seedbed conditions satisfactory for crop germination and development. Spraying early to control young weeds will favor the preparation of suitable seedbeds. On friable soils and where there is only a light cover of young weeds, sowing may proceed satisfactorily from one day after spraying. In situations of heavy weed growth, sowing should be delayed until weed decay and soil conditions allow the formation of a satisfactory seedbed. Incorporation of green or decaying vegetation and roots into the seedbed by cultivation or sowing may cause retarded crop emergence, particularly in cold and/or wet conditions.

Mixing

DO NOT mix, load, or apply TALISMAN 400 EC within 20 meters of any well, sinkhole, intermittent, or perennial stream.

  1. Fill the spray tank with one half the required amount of clean water and add the required amount of TALISMAN 400 EC.

  2. Mix well before adding the Glyphosate and remaining portion of water.

  3. Add any recommended additional herbicide/insecticide/additive.

  4. Add the surfactant near the end of the filling process to minimize foaming. Placing the filling hose below the surface of the spray solution will prevent excessive foaming. Removing the hose from the tank immediately after filling will prevent back siphoning into the water source.

When tank mixing with Glyphosate, please read and follow all mixing instructions on the Glyphosate label. Ensure the sprayer is free of any residue of previous spray materials, and use spray solutions promptly.

DO NOT use mechanical agitators as these may cause excessive foaming. Spray tanks, pumps, lines, and nozzles should be thoroughly rinsed with clean water following application to prevent corrosion.

TALISMAN 400 EC efficacy is dependent on good coverage of the target weeds. Limited translocation occurs within the plant so inadequate coverage is likely to result in unacceptable control.

Adjuvants

TALISMAN 400 EC should be used with an adjuvant at recommended label rates e.g., Esterified vegetable oil, Imtrade Pronto Spray Adjuvant, crop oil concentrate, or a non-ionic wetter e.g., Imtrade Wetter 1000.

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)

  6. Water-based or Soluble Concentrates

  7. Oils and Wetters

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.

Clean up

Thoroughly clean the sprayer using the following procedure when you have finished spraying. Mix only as much spray solution as needed. Immediately after spraying, clean equipment thoroughly using this procedure. Wear appropriate protective clothing.

  1. Flush tank, hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water.

  2. Prepare a cleaning solution of either 250 mL of ALL CLEAR DS per 100L of water or 300 mL of household chlorine bleach (containing 4% chlorine) per 100L of water. Ensure bleach used is fresh as it can degrade significantly over time resulting in a reduction in cleaning ability.

  3. When available, use a pressure washer to clean the inside of the spray tank with this solution. Take care to wash all parts of the tank, including the inside top surface and lid.

  4. Completely fill the sprayer with the cleaning solution to ensure contact of the cleaning solution with all internal surfaces of the tank and plumbing. Start agitation in the sprayer and thoroughly recirculate the cleaning solution for at least 15 minutes. All visible deposits must be removed from the spraying system and in cases where there is the possibility of heavy build-up of residues, the cleaning solution may need to be left in the tank overnight to ensure adequate decontamination of the tank.

  5. Flush hoses, spray lines, and nozzles for at least 1 minute with the cleaning solution.

  6. Dispose of rinsate from steps 1 to 5 in an appropriate manner.

  7. Repeat steps 2 to 5.

  8. Remove nozzles, screen, and strainers and clean separately in the cleaning solution after completing the above procedures. Be careful with filters, as they can be a main source of contamination.

  9. Rinse the complete spraying system with clean water.

The above method is only effective if the cleaning solution comes into contact with every surface or contact point that may contain even minute TALISMAN 400 EC residues.
