GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

WEED CONTROL: Triamate 500EC Herbicide normally 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 (top 2cm) conditions, wild oats may not be controlled. Wild oats may emerge between application and complete incorporation by sowing, particularly if harrows provide initial incorporation. Triamate 500EC Herbicide may not control wild oats that have germinated at the time of application and incorporation if the top 2cm of soil is dry. Triamate 500EC Herbicide 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 where 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, Triamate 500EC Herbicide may persist for several months. Damage to field oats and sorghum may occur.

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

APPLICATION: Apply to soil in a 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 Triamate 500EC Herbicide. Apply Triamate 500EC Herbicide by ground sprayer in 30 to 100 litres of water per hectare using a boom spray fitted with flat fan nozzles. Use spraying pressure of approximately 200-240kPa. 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) Triamate 500EC 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, Triamate 500EC 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 Triamate 500EC 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 free of pronounced ridging. DO NOT operate incorporation equipment at greater than 5 to 7 cm depth. Where the 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 5cm must be undertaken before planting. NOTE: The point size should be matched to tyne spacing to avoid uneven incorporation. For example, a wide line seeder with 15cm tyne spacing should be fitted with unworn 15cm points. A combine with 9cm spacing should be fitted with an evenly worn set of 10cm points. Sweeps or other low-profile points may not provide satisfactory incorporation.
