For the control of certain annual broadleaved weeds and grasses in Citrus, Pineapples, Asparagus and in Commercial and Industrial areas, Rights of Way and around Agricultural Buildings as specified in the Directions for Use table.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
RESTRAINTS:
DO NOT allow spray to contact foliage or fruit of desirable plants.
For best results sufficient moisture, either by rainfall or irrigation, is required within 3-4 days of treatment to carry the product
into the soil.

ASPARAGUS
(older than 1 year)
Weeds controlled: Annual Weeds: Annual Ryegrass, Barley Grass, Bathurst Burr, Brome Grass, Caltrop, Capeweed, Cobbler’s-pegs, Doublegee (Spiny Emex, Threecornered Jack), Fat-hen, Khaki Weed (seedling), Noogoora Burr, Paterson’s Curse, Prairie Grass, Annual Ragweed, Saffron Thistle, Summer Grass, Thornapple, Wild Mustard, Wild Oats, Wild Radish, Wild Turnip, Winter Grass
State: All States
Rate / ha**: 1.1 to 2.5 kg
Critical comments: Apply after cultivation to established plantings only as damage may occur to young plantings. Apply 3-4 weeks prior to spear emergence in Spring or before the early cutting period. If cultivation occurs during cutting period apply immediately after last cultivation. If needed, apply a second spray after harvest to keep fields weed-free. Irrigate before or as soon as possible after spraying.
(See Crop Safety Section).
Note: For Wild Oat control, use no less than 2.5 kg/ha.

CITRUS
(Established groves only)
Weeds controlled: Annual Weeds: Annual Ryegrass, Barley Grass, Bathurst Burr, Brome Grass, Caltrop, Capeweed, Cobbler’s-pegs, Doublegee (Spiny Emex, Threecornered Jack), Fat-hen, Khaki Weed (seedling), Noogoora Burr, Paterson’s Curse, Prairie Grass, Annual Ragweed, Saffron Thistle, Summer Grass, Thornapple, Wild Mustard, Wild Oats, Wild Radish, Wild Turnip, Winter Grass
State: All States
Rate / ha**: 1 kg/500 L water
Critical comments: Spot Spray: Wet weeds thoroughly to point of run-off. (See Crop Safety Section).
Rate / ha**: 2.2 to 4.5 kg
Critical comments: * Apply to weed-free ground in Autumn and Spring. After 1-2 years of application, once per year may be
adequate. DO NOT apply more than 9 kg/ha/year. (See Crop Safety Section).
Note: For Wild Oat and Caltrop control, use no less than 3 kg.
Critical comments: * Spot Treatment: Spray to point of run-off. (See Crop Safety Section).

PINEAPPLES
Weeds controlled: Barnyard Grass, Billygoat Weed/Bluetop, Cobbler’s-pegs, Crowsfoot, Guinea Grass, Red Natal Grass, Sourgrass, Stinking Roger, Summer Grass, Thickhead
State: Qld, NT only
Rate / ha**: 2.2 to 4.5 kg
Critical comments: Apply as a blanket spray prior to weed emergence immediately after planting or before planting material
begins to grow.
Rate / ha**: 2.2 kg
Critical comments: * If needed apply as a direct inter-row spray prior to flower differentiation.
DO NOT spray over top of plants.
DO NOT apply more than 9 kg/ha/year.

NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION.

* If weeds are present add non-ionic surfactant at 100 mL/100L (0.1% v/v) of spray solution.
** Use lower rates on lighter soils low in clay or organic matter and higher rates on heavier soils high in clay or organic matter.

WITHHOLDING PERIODS: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
For best results apply shortly before weed growth occurs to moist well prepared trash and clod free soil. Well established weeds should be removed before applying the product.
Actively growing weeds up to about 10 cm in height may be controlled, but a wetting agent must be used.
DO NOT cultivate soil surface after application as efficacy may be reduced and/or crop injury may result.
For best results sufficient moisture, either by rainfall or irrigation, is required within 3-4 days of treatment to carry the product into the soil. With irrigation thoroughly wet the entire area. Where rainfall is limited during the growth period, control of deep-rooted hard-to-kill weeds will not be satisfactory.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING
URAGAN® WG Herbicide is a member of the Uracils group of herbicides. URAGAN WG has the inhibitors of photosynthesis at photosystem II mode of action. For weed resistance management URAGAN WG is a Group C herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to URAGAN WG and other Group C 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 URAGAN WG or other Group C herbicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss.
Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Adama Australia Pty. Ltd. accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds. Advice as to strategies and alternative treatments that can be used should be obtained from your local supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, Primary Industries Department or a Adama representative.

RE-ENTRY PERIODS
After treating asparagus or pineapple, do not allow entry into treated areas for 14 days, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist over normal clothing and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each days use.
After treating citrus, do not allow entry into treated areas for 3 days, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist over normal clothing and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each days use.

EQUIPMENT AND APPLICATION
Fill spray tank no more than 50% full with clean water. Before adding URAGAN WG begin agitating vigorously and continue agitation during the entire mixing and spraying operation. Pour required amount of product steadily into the spray tank. Allow vigorous bypass agitation to completely disperse product.
DO NOT dump product into spray tank all at once.
After adding required quantity of product and obtaining complete dispersion, continue to fill tank to desired level for spraying. Thorough agitation of the spray liquid should continue during the entire spraying operation. Spray solution should not be left standing in the tank overnight.
Large areas
Use a fixed boom sprayer or handgun. To prevent nozzle blockage, strainer and nozzle screens should be 50 mesh or coarser. Always agitate in spray tank to keep material in suspension.
(a) Fixed Boom Sprayer
Use 1000-2000 L/ha water for industrial weed control. For selective weed control use 250-450 L/ha at 200-300 kPa pressure.
(b) Handgun
Use 1000-2000 L/ha and 60-800 kPa pressure.
Small areas
Use a knapsack or pressurised hand sprayer or water can. Shake or stir frequently.

SPRAYER CLEANUP
Thoroughly clean all traces of Uragan WG from application equipment immediately after use. Flush tank, pump, hoses and boom with several changes of water after removing spray nozzles and screen (clean these parts separately).
