General Instructions

Mixing:

• VALOR 500 WG Herbicide is a water dispersible granule formulation contained within water-soluble bags. Handle with care to avoid breakages.

• Half-fill the spray tank with clean water and drop the necessary number of sachets containing water-soluble bags into the tank without touching them.

• Maintain agitation and mix thoroughly until fully dissolved. Add the knockdown herbicide and remaining water. Mix thoroughly and add spray additive near the end of the filling process to minimize foaming. Maintain adequate agitation during application and use the tank mix promptly.

Application:

• For application rates up to 90 g/ha: Apply in a minimum of 80 L spray solution per hectare.

• For application rates above 280 g/ha: Apply in a minimum of 200 L spray solution per hectare.

• If pH of spraying water is above 7.0, acidify with an appropriate buffering agent before adding VALOR 500WG Herbicide.

1. Cereals, Pulses, Oilseeds, Lucerne, and Cotton:

• Refer to the Directions for Use and General Instructions of the knockdown herbicide label.

• Ensure adequate coverage as VALOR 500 WG Herbicide is a contact herbicide. Coarse droplets produced by wide-angle flat fan or twin jet nozzles are recommended for best results.

• Avoid using air induction nozzles with a spray oil such as Hasten.

2. Sugarcane:

• Refer to the Directions for Use and General Instructions of the knockdown herbicide label.

3. Selected Non-Crop Uses:

• Refer to the Directions for Use and General Instructions of the knockdown herbicide label.

• Ensure adequate coverage for optimal performance.

Crop Tolerance:

• All crops: Crop safety may be compromised under certain conditions such as insect pressure, waterlogging, and nutrient deficiency.

• Lucerne: Use only in established lucerne that is at least 12 months old since planting. Apply to established, dormant lucerne during Autumn or Winter before lucerne shoot growth has started or between cuttings prior to 15 cm of regrowth.

• Pre-emergent - Incorporation by Sowing (IBS) - Wheat, Chickpeas, Faba beans, and Field peas: Apply up to a week before sowing to moist soil immediately before sowing and incorporate with a combine or air-seeder preferably fitted with knife points or blades less than 12 mm wide. Avoid heavy rain after application onto ridged soil, as it may cause crop damage.
