The different rates for vines, potatoes, clover, lucerna : Capeweed or Erodium spp. present, add a 200 g/L Diquat formulation at rate of 750 mL or 1.5 L per hectare (125 mL or 250 mL per 100 L for high volume spraying). Use higher rate for plants more than 10 cm in diameter.

READ SAFETY DIRECTIONS BEFORE OPENING OR USING

FOR USE BY LICENSED/AUTHORISED PERSONS ONLY
FOR THE CONTROL OF A WIDE RANGE OF GRASSES AND BROADLEAF WEEDS AS PER DIRECTIONS FOR USE

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
RESTRAINTS:
DO NOT allow spray to drift over susceptible crops.
DO NOT allow spray to contact tree or vine foliage, flowers or fruit, or the green bark of young trees when spraying orchards or vineyards.
DO NOT spray if weeds are wilted by dry or cold weather, are waterlogged or are covered by dust or soil.
DO NOT use through aircraft, misting machines (except in banana plantations) or hand-held ultra low-volume applicators (CDA units).
DO NOT add wetter unless spraying at high volume. Use a 600 g/L non-ionic wetting agent as per Directions for Use table.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
UNIQUAT kills most annual grasses and annual broad leaved weeds excluding capeweed. It provides quick desiccation of green plant tissue, yet it is quickly inactivated on contact with the soil.
UNIQUAT should be mixed with clean water only as suspended soil particles in muddy water will interfere with herbicidal action. Spray actively growing weeds and avoid spraying weeds which are drought stressed. Spray results are better if application is made in cloudy weather or at the end of the day. Light rainfall following application will not affect results.


Mixing: Add the required amount of UNIQUAT to water in the spray tank and agitate to give even mixing. Agitate again if left to stand.
Application: Apply in a minimum of 100 litres water/hectare through properly calibrated boom spray equipment. Use 100 L/ha for seedling weeds, 150 L/ha for weeds 2.5 cm and 200 L/ha for weeds 6 to 10 cm in height. Up to 700 litres/ha may be used for orchards and vineyards. When high volume spraying, add a 600 g/L non-ionic wetting agent at a rate of 100 mL/100 L of spray mix. Do not use alkaline or anionic wetting agents.


For ground application only: Do not use this formulation through aircraft misting machine or hand-held ultra low-volume controlled droplet applicators.
Compatibility: UNIQUAT combines satisfactorily as a tank mix with suitably approved formulated soil herbicides Diuron, Simazine, and Atrazine where prolonged weed control is required, as well as quick knockdown.


Resistant Weeds Warning:
UNIQUAT 250 HERBICIDE is a member of the Bipyridyls group of herbicides. UNIQUAT 250 HERBICIDE has the inhibitor of photosynthesis at photosystem I mode of action. For weed resistance management UNIQUAT 250 HERBICIDE is a Group L herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to UNIQUAT 250 HERBICIDE and other Group L 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 UNIQUAT 250 HERBICIDE or other Group L herbicides Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use UPL Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of UNIQUAT 250 HERBICIDE to control resistant weeds.
