GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

CROP SAFETY

Chickpeas: Application of TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide PSPE to Chickpeas planted in sandy or gravely soils, or soils low in clay or organic matter may result in crop damage. Heavy rains after the application of TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide may cause crop damage, particularly in sandy or gravely soils. Application of TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide + simazine in sandy or gravely soils may result in severe crop damage.

Varietal tolerance: TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide is not recommended for use with the Chickpea variety Yorker. Application of TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide post-sowing pre-emergence to crops of Yorker variety Chickpeas can result in unacceptable crop damage and may result in yield loss.

Crop rotation recommendations: TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide may be applied to chickpea crops where the following crop will be Chickpeas, or where the land will be left fallow. The following recropping instructions apply to following crops other than Chickpeas.

• Prolonged dry periods or cold conditions may result in extended re-cropping intervals, even if rainfall exceeds the required amount (listed in the table below). If in doubt, contact your local TITAN AG representative.

• Heavy rainfall after an extended dry period may result in the reactivation of TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide. This can lead to transient bleaching or crop stunting.

• Use on soils with a pH less than 7.0 has not been extensively tested, and may result in extended recropping intervals.

• Cultivation is recommended prior to recropping.

• Minimum recropping intervals apply for all crops following TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide application. For advice on recropping intervals contact TITAN AG Pty Ltd.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

1. In plant cane, do not apply to shallow planted cane unless there is sufficient soil cover over the sett (Minimum of 60mm but preferably at least 75-100mm). See Critical Comments.

2. Add paraquat to TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide to minimise foliar uptake when applying as a broadcast spray to plant cane, and in very young ratoons if green cane shoots are likely to be intercepted by sprays.

3. DO NOT apply with wetting agents, crop oils or other adjuvants.

4. DO NOT apply to areas which have poor drainage or poor root development in the crop.

5. The use of TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide on newly limed soil could cause severe crop damage, please contact your local TITAN AG representative for advice prior to use of TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide in this situation.

6. Adhere to the general rate guidelines regarding light, medium and heavy soils.

TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide is adsorbed to organic matter and clay particles in the soil. Soils with low organic carbon (OC) and cation exchange capacity (C.E.C.) have a reduced capacity to adsorb the herbicide in the soil, which may result in the herbicide leaching past the weed root zone into the cane root zone. Crop root uptake of TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide may result in phytotoxicity, which is evident as bleaching of leaves. To minimise the risk of crop root uptake, TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide is not recommended for use on some soils. Carefully check the specific guidelines and constraints with respect to cation exchange capacity, organic carbon content and clay content. These values should be determined through soil analysis prior to using TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide. Refer to your local reseller or TITAN AG representative to assist you with interpretation of your soil analysis results.

The use of TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide on newly limed soil could cause severe crop damage, please contact your local TITAN AG representative for advice prior to use of TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide in this situation.

TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide has been field tested on most important commercial varieties of sugarcane without any evidence of major varietal tolerance variation. If you are contemplating the use of TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide on experimental or minor varieties of sugarcane, small test areas should be treated to establish suitable tolerance before treating large areas. For further information on varietal tolerance please contact your TITAN AG representative.

MIXING

Partly fill the spray tank with water. Start agitation. Add the correct amount of TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide to the spray tank with the agitation system running. When tank-mixing with paraquat, ensure that TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide is added to the spray mixture first, followed by paraquat to ensure thorough mixing. When tank-mixing with glyphosate, ensure that TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide is added to the spray mixture first, followed by glyphosate to ensure thorough mixing. Continue agitation while topping up the tank with water and while spraying. In all cases, use prepared spray mixture on day of preparation.

DO NOT allow spray mixture to stand overnight.

In the case of tank mixtures with glyphosate, water should be clean and free of clay, silt and algae. Provided it meets these requirements then water collected from roofs, bore water, dam water and water from creeks may be used.

APPLICATION

TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide can be applied to hot and dry soils, without the risk of breakdown by sunlight. This ultraviolet stability removes the need for immediate soil incorporation of the product. TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide is activated by rainfall or irrigation, which is required to carry the herbicide into the root zone of the germinating weeds. Deep germinating weeds (eg. wild radish) may not be adequately controlled in years where rainfall is low (<15mm).

Weed escapes may occur after spraying TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide if weed germination occurs before the chemical is activated OR carried to the depth of the weed root zone. Under prolonged dry conditions a greater quantity of rainfall or irrigation may be required for effective activation of the product. Under these conditions, shoots of germinating weeds may intercept the TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide band and appear affected, but may not be controlled. Weeds that do not turn completely white within days of emergence must be sprayed with an appropriate knockdown herbicide. To avoid weed escapes, it is recommended to allow weeds to germinate, and then apply TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide in tank mixture with paraquat at an appropriate label rate to provide additional weed knockdown.

Soil movement from irrigation or cultivation may result in poor weed control from TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide. DO NOT Incorporate TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide by flood irrigation or with high-pressure water cannons if excessive soil movement is expected, particularly if the soil is in a loose, dry condition. Best results are achieved where rainfall or low pressure overhead irrigation carries the herbicide downward in an even band to the depth of the weed root zone.

Sugarcane: Apply in a minimum spray volume of 250L/ha. For best results flat fan nozzles are recommended. Select the lowest pressure (within the recommended nozzle operating range), to reduce drift. Use a nozzle size that delivers a medium to coarse droplet at the selected operating pressure.

SPRAY EQUIPMENT CLEAN-UP

After using TITAN Isoxaflutole 750 WG Herbicide, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Without entering it, thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose. Alternatively, if the tank is fitted with in-tank rinse nozzles, activate these nozzles to thoroughly rinse the inside of the tank. Drain the tank and clean any tank, pump, line and nozzle filters. Before disassembling nozzles, filters and other parts for cleaning, thoroughly wash down the exterior of the spray equipment with a pressure hose.

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 sensitive crops (e.g. Canola, Pulses (except Chickpeas), forage legumes and forage brassicas), wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Quarter fill the tank and add a liquid alkali detergent at 500mL/100L of water or a chlorine bleach (4% chlorine) at 300mL/100L of water and circulate throughout the system for at least fifteen minutes. Drain the whole system. Nozzles, screens, relief valves, dump lines, caps and taps at the end of spray lines, tank lids, flow meters, lines to pressure gauges, external tank indicators, induction hoppers and transfer systems should be removed/pulled apart and cleaned separately. Pay special attention to by-pass lines from pressure relief or dump valves to the main tank. To remove chlorine bleach flush the system with clean water and allow to drain. Finally, flush the system with clean water and allow to drain.
