GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Imtrade Thylazine 750WG Herbicide can be used to selectively control weeds in the crops listed in the Directions for Use table.

When applied pre-emergence, Imtrade Thylazine 750WG Herbicide is mainly absorbed via the roots. Weeds buried by cultivation may not be effectively controlled. Heavy rainfall on light soils may cause movement of the herbicide out of the weed seed zone, resulting in reduced weed control. DO NOT apply to recently burnt stubble/trash. After burning, rainfall or cultivation is required to allow Imtrade Thylazine 750WG Herbicide to reach the soil and not be irreversibly bound by ash. Imtrade Thylazine 750WG Herbicide is primarily incorporated by rainfall. Sufficient rainfall (20 to 30mm either as rainfall or irrigation) to wet the soil through the weed root zone is necessary within 2 to 3 weeks of application to make the product effective. Weeds may germinate and emerge before being controlled by Imtrade Thylazine 750WG Herbicide, however, a delay in rainfall for an extended period may result in weeds germinating from depth and surviving.

Where soil has a high potential for leaching, heavy rainfall between application and crop emergence may result in crop damage from movement of herbicide into the crop seed zone. In flood or furrow irrigation situations, complete and continued activation of the product may not occur due to a thin band of dry soil on the surface during or after irrigation. Mechanical incorporation after application, using light harrows to incorporate the product into the soil not more than 4cm deep, is required to ensure the irrigation water activates the product. Always apply Imtrade Thylazine 750WG Herbicide to an even un-ridged seedbed.

Dense weed populations and multiple germinations (especially Wild Radish) may require both a pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicide treatment (only one being Imtrade Thylazine 750WG Herbicide) to give acceptable control.

APVMA Compliance Instructions for Mandatory COARSE or Larger Droplet Size Categories

SECTION 1: Instructions for Ground Application – for COARSE droplet size or larger categories

Mandatory Instructions for Ground Applications

• USE ONLY nozzles that the nozzles’ manufacturer has rated to deliver a COARSE, a VERY COARSE, or an EXTREMELY COARSE droplet size category as referenced to ASAE S572 or BCPC.

• Choose a nozzle specific to provide the droplet size category required in the label Spray Drift Restraints.

• DO NOT use a higher spray system pressure than the maximum the manufacturer specifies for the selected nozzle to deliver the droplet size category required in the label Spray Drift Restraint.

INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FOR TT CANOLA

The use of Imtrade Thylazine 750WG Herbicide in TT canola is subject to the current approved Integrated Weed Management Strategy for the use of triazine herbicides in TT canola. The Strategy encompasses: Integrated Weed Management, the specific management of crop plant volunteers and outcrossing to other plants; and triazine herbicide residue management (agronomic and environment). Compliance with registered label directions and adoption of the principles outlined in the Strategy will assist with the implementation of crop management practices that minimize the development of herbicide resistance in treated weeds; reduce the levels of triazine residues in the environment; and manage volunteer plants and outcrossing.

Where specific information and farm management assessment are required to assist with the application of Integrated Weed Management programs on-farm, particularly in adapting strategies to local conditions, then specific expert advice should be obtained from an appropriate agronomist, consultant, chemical supplier, or Departmental advisor.

To minimize herbicide resistance:

• Avoid dry sowing in heavily weed-infested paddocks. Wait for weed germination after the opening rains in weedy paddocks. Use a pre-plant knockdown or cultivation. No weeds should be allowed to survive at this stage.

• DO NOT use Imtrade Thylazine 750WG Herbicide if the area to be treated had a triazine herbicide applied to it last season.

• Watch for escapes, especially in paddocks with a long history of Group 5 Herbicide use.

• DO NOT use Group 5 Herbicides in consecutive years.

Resistant Weeds Reporting

Growers should collect plant or seed samples where weeds that are normally susceptible to Atrazine, Simazine, and Terbuthylazine may be resistant, get them tested, and seek professional advice.

APPLICATION

DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands, or pastures.

Ground Application

DO NOT apply when wind speed is less than 3 and greater than 20km/hr or during weather conditions when surface temperature inversions can develop. Apply by ground boom only in a minimum of 50L/ha. Use only COARSE spray quality according to ASAE S572 definition for standard nozzles.

Pre-Sowing Application

Apply to moist soil or when rain is imminent and prior to germination of weeds up to a week before sowing. The soil should be free of excessive clods, trash, and deep furrows. Crop safety relies on crop seeds germinating below Imtrade Thylazine 750WG Herbicide treated soil. Heavy rain after application, on ridged soil in particular, may cause crop damage from Imtrade Thylazine 750WG Herbicide being washed into the seed furrow. Crops should preferably be sown with minimum-tillage sowing equipment (fitted with knife points or blades less than 12mm wide and generally placed on 20cm tyne spacing) poor weed control may result in the furrows. For crop safety, maintain slow to moderate speed to avoid leaving deep furrows and avoid throwing soil into adjacent furrows. Also, poor weed control may occur in deep furrows. Ensure even placement of the seed below the treated soil. The use of press-wheels can help seed row closure and reduce treated soil falling close to the seed. DO NOT use a combination of both press wheels and a covering device such as harrows or chains when sowing. Sowing with disc seeders may lead to unacceptable crop damage due to shallow, uneven seeding depth, and treated soil coming in contact with seeds.

Post Sowing Pre-Emergence (PSPE)

Apply within 2 days of sowing to soil left relatively flat by the sowing operation. Heavy rain after application onto ridged soil in particular may cause crop damage from product washed into the seed furrow. At the higher rates, avoid over-lapping sprays and spraying-out corners. Sowing with disc seeders may lead to unacceptable crop damage due to shallow, uneven seeding depth, and treated soil coming in contact with seeds.

Post Emergence Application

Imtrade Thylazine 750WG Herbicide can be applied to Triazine Tolerant (TT) canola up to 6-leaf stage of the crop. Always add Hasten® at 500 mL/100L water.

MIXING

DO NOT mix or load within 20m of any well, dam, intermittent or perennial stream. Partially fill the spray tank with water and maintain agitation while adding the required quantity of Imtrade Thylazine 750WG Herbicide. Agitation should continue after filling and during spraying. If spray is allowed to stand, agitate thoroughly before resuming spraying.

COMPATIBILITY

Imtrade Thylazine 750WG Herbicide is compatible with 2,4-D Amine, Imtrade Commander 75-D Herbicide, Glyphosate, Imtrade Metal Plus 960 EC Herbicide, Imtrade Metal Gold 960 EC Herbicide, Paraquat, Paraquat/Diquat mixtures, Imtrade Pronto Adjuvant, ChemAg Rockstar 200 Herbicide, Trifluralin, Uptake Spraying Oil, and ChemAg Wetter 1000. Refer to the label of the knockdown herbicide for specific weed by rate recommendations. Some reduction in control may be observed on some weeds compared to the application of knockdown herbicides alone, particularly on large weeds. Tank mixtures of Imtrade Thylazine 750WG Herbicide plus Glyphosate may not control emerged flax leaf fleabane, and consideration should be given to cultivation or a subsequent application of another herbicide such as Paraquat. Refer to local agronomist advice or Imtrade Australia Pty Ltd for current recommendations for control of flax leaf fleabane. It is advisable that a small-scale compatibility test be carried out prior to tank mixing with other products. Read and follow all label directions, restraints, plant-back periods, withholding periods, regional use restrictions, and safety directions for the tank mix products.
