GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
MIXING
Tordon 242 can be mixed with water only.
Mix only sufficient chemical for each day’s use and avoid storing mix.
Half fill the spray tank with water and add the required quantity of Tordon™ 242 and complete filling. Agitate continuously to ensure thorough mixing before and during application. Tank mixtures: Wettable powder or dry flowable formulations (e.g. water dispersible granules) should be added to the spray tank first, followed by suspension concentrates (flowables), water soluble salts and then emulsifiable concentrate formulations (e.g. Starane™ Advanced).
Add spraying oils and surfactants (wetters) last, if required.

APPLICATION METHODS
A. Ground Application (Boom)
Apply Tordon 242 with an accurately calibrated boom sprayer, in at least 50 L/ha water. Do not apply with smaller than medium to coarse spray droplets according to the ASABE S572 definition for standard nozzles.
Set the boom at a height to ensure a double overlap of the nozzle pattern.
B. Aerial Application
Apply in a minimum volume of 35 L/ha water.
Use calibrated equipment. Do not apply with smaller than medium to coarse spray droplets according to the ASABE S572 definition for standard nozzles.
DO NOT apply Tordon 242 by aircraft unless wind speed is more than 3 kilometres per hour and less than 15 km/hr as measured at the application site and/or the air temperature is above 30°C, or when the wind is blowing towards susceptible crops.

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto wasteland away from desirable plants and water courses. Rinsing: After using Tordon 242 Cereal Herbicide, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the spray unit using a pressure hose. Drain, and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles.
After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice.
Decontamination (before spraying cotton and other sensitive crops): see PROTECTION OF CROPS): Wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Then quarter fill the tank and add an alkali detergent (e.g. liquid SURF, OMO or DRIVE) at 500 mL/100 L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100 L and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes.
Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow to drain.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING
Tordon 242 Cereal Herbicide contains members of the pyridine and phenoxy groups of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group I Herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other disrupters of plant cell growth herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by this product or other disrupters of plant cell growth herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds.
Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or local Dow AgroSciences representative.
