GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

WEED CONTROL: OzCrop Tri-Allate 500 EC Herbicide typically provides 6 to 8 weeks control of wild oats when the seedbed is moist during the emergence of wild oats. Under very dry soil surface conditions (top 2cm), wild oats may not be controlled. If the top 2cm of soil is dry, wild oats may emerge between application and complete incorporation by sowing, particularly if initial incorporation is provided by harrows. OzCrop Tri-Allate 500 EC Herbicide may not control wild oats that have germinated at the time of application and incorporation if the top 2cm of soil is dry. It will not control emerged wild oats.

CROP SAFETY: Reduced emergence of cereals and linseed may occur if seed is placed in the treated soil layer. Do not plant cereal crops at greater than 5 to 7 cm. Overspraying of headlands or corners may result in crop damage. On heavy clay soils, crop thinning may occur in wheel tracks. Environmental conditions that adversely affect emergence or early crop growth may predispose crops to injury, particularly when tank mixes with other pre-emergence herbicides are used. Read and follow label directions, restraints, plantback periods, and safety directions for tank mix products.

SOIL PERSISTENCE AND FOLLOWING CROPS: Under prolonged and extremely dry conditions, OzCrop Tri-Allate 500 EC Herbicide may persist for several months, potentially causing damage to field oats and sorghum.

MIXING: OzCrop Tri-Allate 500 EC Herbicide is an oily concentrate that mixes readily with water. Add the required amount of OzCrop Tri-Allate 500 EC Herbicide to half the required amount of water in the spray tank. Mix thoroughly and add the remaining water.

APPLICATION: Apply to soil in friable condition so that uniform incorporation of the product can be achieved to a depth of 2 to 4 cm. The soil should be free of large clods (>75 mm) and should not have crop or weed residue at a level that will interfere with the free flow of soil through planting equipment providing full soil disturbance. Emerged wild oats should be controlled either by prior cultivation/application of a knockdown herbicide or by the tank mixing of a knockdown herbicide with OzCrop Tri-Allate 500 EC Herbicide. Apply OzCrop Tri-Allate 500 EC Herbicide by ground sprayer in 30 to 100 liters of water per hectare using a boomspray fitted with flat fan nozzles. Use spraying pressure of approximately 200-240 kPa. Avoid application under strong and/or gusty wind conditions. DO NOT apply by aircraft.

INCORPORATION: Two-pass incorporation provides superior weed control to single pass incorporation on heavier textured soils.

(i) OzCrop Tri-Allate 500 EC Herbicide may be incorporated initially in a suitable cultivated seedbed with either heavy 5-row harrows (e.g., Phoenix harrow) or tyned cultivator. Final incorporation with a combine or airseeder/cultivator is essential to provide for maximum weed control. Heavy tyned harrows or a rotary harrow should trail the planter or follow as a separate operation at an angle to the planter to complete incorporation. Ensure that the soil surface is left free of pronounced ridging.

(ii) On soils in friable condition, OzCrop Tri-Allate 500 EC Herbicide may be incorporated with the planting operation only up to 24 hours following application onto a dry soil surface or up to 6 hours on moist surface soil. If OzCrop Tri-Allate 500 EC Herbicide has been sprayed on dry soil, and it rains before incorporation is planned, the product must be incorporated within 6 hours to retain its herbicide effectiveness. Planting should be carried out with a combine or airseeder/cultivator that provides full soil disturbance. Heavy tyned harrows or a rotary harrow should trail the planter or follow as a separate operation to complete incorporation. Ensure that the soil surface is left free of pronounced ridging. Do not operate incorporation equipment at greater than 5 to 7 cm depth. Where soil is wet at planting, poor incorporation may result. For shallow-sown legume and oil-seed crops, complete incorporation by cultivation to a depth of 5 cm must be undertaken before planting. Note that point size should be matched to tyne spacing to avoid uneven incorporation. For example, a wideline seeder with 15 cm tyne spacing should be fitted with unworn 15 cm points. A combine with 9 cm spacing should be fitted with an evenly worn set of 10 cm points. Sweeps or other low profile points may not provide satisfactory incorporation.
