GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING

Torch 240 SL Residual Herbicide is a member of the imidazolinone group of herbicides, with the inhibitors-of-acetolactate-synthase (ALS) mode of action.

For weed resistance management, the product is a Group B herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to this product and other Group B herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability. Resistant individuals can dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. Resistant weeds won't be controlled by this product or other Group B herbicides. FARMALINX Pty Ltd accepts no liability for losses resulting from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds.

ALL APPLICATIONS

• Reduce "fines" incidence by using correct nozzles and operating pressures.
• Replace worn or old nozzles and calibrate equipment regularly.

Fallow application:

• Torch 240 SL can be applied in fallow before planting various crops as outlined in the Follow Crops table.
• It provides short-term (6 to 12 weeks) pre-emergence control of summer germinating grasses and broadleaved weeds.
• A green weed cover of >50% reduces pre-emergence weed control duration.

Sugarcane application

Pre-emergence:

• Apply two days before incorporation, with adequate irrigation or rainfall to a 5 cm depth.
• Apply to plant or ratoon cane before emergence.
• In moist conditions, allow weeds to germinate before application, mixed with an appropriate knockdown herbicide.

Post-emergence:

• Mix with registered rates of paraquat.
• Apply as a directed inter-row spray to weeds and the base of sugarcane stalks.
• DO NOT add crop oil; no other surfactant or adjuvant is required.

Peanut application

Pre-emergence:

• Apply to soil and incorporate with adequate irrigation or rainfall to a 5 cm depth.

Post-emergence:

• Mix with an adjuvant as directed in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE section of the label.

Soil Type:

• Pre-emergence control may be limited on soils with pH <5.0 and/or high concentrations of iron (Fe) and/or aluminium (Al), common in soil types like Krasnozems and red brown Ferrosols.

MIXING

• Part-fill spray tank with water; with agitator running, add the required amount of product, then fill the tank with water.
• When tank mixing with other products, add the other product first and mix thoroughly before adding Torch 240 SL.
• For post-emergence in peanuts, add adjuvant after adding Torch 240 SL.

APPLICATION

• DO NOT apply by aircraft.

Fallow application:

• Apply with boom equipment in not less than 50 L/ha water using flat fan nozzles.
• Avoid overlap and do not overspray headlands.

Sugarcane:

• Ensure thorough coverage of soil and weeds with well-calibrated spray equipment.
• Apply in a minimum of 200 L water/ha, using a nozzle configuration for pre-emergence or post-emergence applications.
• Replace worn or old nozzles; calibrate equipment regularly.

Peanuts:

• Apply with boom equipment in not less than 50 L/ha water using flat fan nozzles.
• Avoid overlap and do not overspray headlands.
• For post-emergence, apply a minimum of 2 hours before rainfall.
