GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Imtrade Tiger Gold 250 Herbicide is an emulsifiable concentrate herbicide used post-emergence for the control of certain grass weeds in specified broadleaf crops. Imtrade Tiger Gold 250 Herbicide is a systemic herbicide, rapidly absorbed, and readily translocates from the treated foliage to the root system and growing points of the plant. Applications made to grass weeds stressed due to insufficient moisture or cold temperatures may result in unsatisfactory control.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING

Imtrade Tiger Gold 250 Herbicide is a member of the 'Fop' group of herbicides. It has the inhibitors of acetyl coA carboxylase mode of action and is categorized as a Group A Herbicide for weed resistance management. Resistant weed biotypes may exist, and these resistant weeds will not be controlled by Imtrade Tiger Gold 250 Herbicide or other Group A Herbicides. Imtrade Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for losses resulting from the failure of the herbicide to control resistant weeds.

Strategies to minimize the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Consult your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture or Primary Industries, or local Imtrade Australia Pty Ltd Representative.

TIME OF APPLICATION

For maximum benefit, weeds should be sprayed when young and actively growing. Application may be made at any stage of crop growth (except to cucurbit crops), but sufficient time must be allowed for the prescribed withholding period to expire before harvest and/or grazing or cutting for stockfeed. Important: DO NOT apply Imtrade Tiger Gold 250 Herbicide to cucurbit crops before the five true leaf stage.

SPRAY PREPARATION

Imtrade Tiger Gold 250 Herbicide is an emulsifiable concentrate to be mixed with water and applied as a spray. Add the amount of Imtrade Tiger Gold 250 Herbicide directly to the spray tank and mix well. If tank mixing with Mancozeb, add this to the spray tank and mix thoroughly prior to adding Imtrade Tiger Gold 250 Herbicide.

GROUP A HERBICIDE

Imtrade Tiger Gold 250 Herbicide may be used with either of the following adjuvant systems:

1. A non-ionic surfactant (1000 g ac/L strength) at 200 mL/100L of final spray volume (i.e. 0.2% volume/volume).
2. A non-ionic surfactant (1000 g ac/L strength) at 0.1% v/v and a mineral spray oil at 1% v/v.

For Imtrade Tiger Gold 250 Herbicide and Imtrade Tiger Gold 250 Herbicide tank-mixes with Sethoxydim 186 g/L and Imtrade Clethodim 240 EC Herbicide, the recommended mixture is 100 mL non-ionic surfactant + 1L DC-Trate® Spray Oil per 100L of final spray volume. This adjuvant system provides a more robust treatment than a surfactant-only treatment and is strongly recommended. DO NOT use the surfactant + mineral oil adjuvant system on vegetable crops, use a surfactant only. DO NOT use a spray oil alone; a surfactant must always be added. DO NOT use spray oils of crop origin (e.g., Codacide oil, Synertrol oil) as spray adjuvants.

COMPATIBILITIES

Imtrade Tiger Gold 250 Herbicide is compatible with the insecticides Imtrade Delta-Duo Insecticide, Imtrade Omen 290 Insecticide, Dimethoate, the fungicide Mancozeb, and the herbicides Difen Options Selective Herbicide and Rally Herbicide when using the surfactant-only adjuvant system. Imtrade Tiger Gold 250 Herbicide is compatible with Sethoxydim 186 g/L and Imtrade Clethodim 240 EC Herbicide when using the surfactant plus spray oil adjuvant system. When tank mixing Imtrade Tiger Gold 250 Herbicide and broadleaf herbicides, DO NOT use a spray oil, use a surfactant only. Application of the Imtrade Tiger Gold 250 Herbicide tank mix may result in crop effects. The effect is temporary and usually appears as yellow or white bleaching on the leaves. New growth and subsequent yield, however, will not be affected. DO NOT add crop oil to tank mixtures of Imtrade Tiger Gold 250 Herbicide/Difen Options Selective Herbicide. To minimize crop effects; Apply Imtrade Tiger Gold 250 Herbicide a minimum of 5 days prior to Difen Options Selective Herbicide application or a minimum of 10 days after Difen Options Selective Herbicide application (14-21 days if weeds have been stressed).

GROUND SPRAYING

Use sprayers with flat fan or hollow cone nozzles at 210-350 kPa to give an even distribution of droplets with no less than 50% of the spray volume in the 150-300 micron range. 110° flat fan nozzles are preferred. Use between 50 and 100L of prepared spray/ha; the higher spray volume gives more reliable results. If weeds are large and the crop canopy is dense, increase the volume to 150L prepared spray/ha. For proper spray coverage, adjust the boom and nozzle height according to the specifications listed by the nozzle manufacturer. Ensure the spray is evenly distributed and a double overlap spray pattern is obtained. Avoid overlapping boom spray widths and shut off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing, or stopping.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS

DO NOT apply under weather conditions or from spraying equipment that may cause spray to drift onto nearby or susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands, or pastures. DO NOT plant cereal crops into the treated area for a period of 18 weeks after application of Imtrade Tiger Gold 250 Herbicide.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT

DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers.

SPRAYER CLEANUP

Thoroughly clean all traces of Imtrade Tiger Gold 250 Herbicide from application equipment immediately after use. Flush tank, pump, hoses, and boom with several changes of water after removing nozzle tips and screens (clean those parts separately). Failure to thoroughly clean the equipment may result in injury to subsequently sprayed cereal and grass crops. If spray equipment has previously been used for the application of sulfonylurea herbicides, ensure that the recommended sprayer clean-up procedure for the product previously sprayed has been followed before using the equipment for the application of Imtrade Tiger Gold 250 Herbicide.
