GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be incorporated into the soil within 4 hours of application except where the crop is sown with minimum tillage sowing equipment (fitted with knife points or blades less than 12mm wide, usually with press wheels) where application may occur up to 24 hours before incorporation by the sowing process.

INCORPORATION TABLE

1. Prior to furrowing out: 2 workings at an angle required using Offset or Tandem disc harrows.

2. After furrowing out: 2 workings required using Go-Devil discs or Lillion cultivators set at 10cm depth.

3. Rotary Hoe: 1 working required at 5-7.5 cm depth. Sugar Cane: 7.5-13 cm depth.

4. Offset or Tandem Disc Harrows: (preferably with spiked harrows in tandem) 2 workings at an angle required at 7.5-15 cm depth at 6.5-10 km per hour.

5. Heavy Diamond or Stump Jump Harrows - (weighted 20-30 kg per section) at 10-13 km/hr speed. Then cross work with offset or tandem disc harrows set to 7.5-15 cm depth at speed 6.5-10 km per hour.

6. Weighted Heavy Diamond or Stump Jump Harrows (weighted with 20-30 kg per section) at 10-13 km per hour. Cross work with combine at 5-7.5 cm depth at speed of 10-13 km/hr.

7. Disc Ratoon Cultivator: 2 workings needed with discs and cultivator set at 7.5-13 cm depth.

8. Offset or Tandem Disc Harrows: set at 7.5-15 cm depth. A second discing is required working in opposite direction with discs set to throw treated soil into tree or vine row.

9. Rotary Hoe: 1 working needed at 5-10 cm depth.

10. Offset Discs (Bumpers): 2 workings needed at depth of 7.5-13 cm.

11. Incorporated By Sowing (IBS) on suitably prepared seedbed with heavy diamond harrows trailing or as separate operation.

12. Post-Sowing/Pre-Emergence: Use heavy diamond harrows cross working at right angles to the direction of sowing. DO NOT attempt this method of incorporation on poorly prepared, clumpy, or cloddy soils.

13. Incorporation By Sowing (IBS) with knife or blade points: Use press wheels to avoid dragging treated soil back into the seed furrow. Maintain slow to moderate speed to ensure that soil throw is not into adjacent.

MIXING

This product is an emulsifiable concentrate, which mixes readily with water. Add the recommended amount to the spray tank during filling operation and apply 70-450L of water/ha (broadcast basis) dependent on soil type. ENSURE ADEQUATE AGITATION IS CONTINUED THROUGHOUT THE OPERATION. LEAVING THE MADE UP SPRAY MIXTURE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME WITHOUT AGITATION IS NOT RECOMMENDED. Under hot conditions or where possible spray and incorporate into the soil in one operation. Delay may cause inferior weed control. Use properly calibrated standard low-pressure (170-340 kPa) boom type sprayer with fan tips.

CONDITIONS FOR BEST RESULTS

This product must be thoroughly incorporated as recommended. Soil should be well worked and free of weeds at the time of application. Product effectiveness may be reduced by inadequate incorporation, high organic matter, excess clods, crop or trash residues, stones, or other foreign matter and in areas of unnaturally high weed seed population such as header tracks or livestock rest areas. Trifluralin is volatile and disappears from exposed surfaces. Loss is hastened by high temperatures, winds, or warm moist soil.

INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT

The use of Integrated Weed Management techniques in conjunction with Triflon 480EC Herbicide is always recommended. Agronomic practices that reduce the weed seed bank in the soil prior to the use of Triflon 480EC Herbicide. Failure to use Agronomic and Integrated Weed Management practices that reduce the weed seed bank in the soil will result in higher weed soil populations. Paddocks with excessively high weed seed banks may have sufficient weed numbers surviving such that final weed control may be considered below a commercially acceptable level and additional herbicide treatments may be necessary. The use of Integrated Weed Management techniques will also reduce the potential for the development or survival of Group D herbicide resistance weed biotypes.

WILD OATS

Germinating wild oat seeds lying on the soil surface will be controlled. Therefore, specific wild oat control is only possible with shallow cultivation. Poor control will occur on self-mulching soils and all soil types where deep cultivation is practiced.

COMPATIBILITY

This Product May Be Mixed In The Spray Tank With: Herbicides: Tri-allate, chlorsulfuron, triasulfuron, diuron, simazine, paraquat, paraquat/diquat, Broadstrike, Spinnaker, metribuzin. Insecticides: Chlorpyrifos. NOTE: Information on compatibility is understood to be correct at the time of publication; however, products may vary from time to time; therefore, a small scale compatibility test should be carried out before mixing in the spray tank. Observe any mixing sequence instructions for tank mix products.

EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND USAGE

Keep the spray unit for herbicides only if possible. Otherwise, spray tanks, pumps, lines, and nozzles should be thoroughly rinsed several times with clean water following application. Spray Sure Spray Tank Cleaner is suitable for this purpose and will also remove Trifluralin stains.

DRIFT WARNING

DO NOT apply under meteorological conditions or from spraying equipment, which could be expected. to cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible plants adjacent crops, croplands, or pastures.
