GROUP H C HERBICIDE

For the post-emergent control of certain broadleaf weeds in wheat, barley, cereal rye and triticale as specified in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE table

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Velocity Selective Herbicide is a selective nitrile (Group C) and pyrazole (which inhibits the enzyme 4-HPPD – Group H) herbicide. It is predominantly a foliar herbicide with limited activity via the soil. Velocity Selective Herbicide will not control weeds that emerge after spraying. Results are best under good growing conditions and application to weeds or crop under stress should be avoided.

Velocity may substantially reduce the growth of many weeds rather than give complete plant kill. Refer to the Critical Comments in the Directions for Use Table above. Further information can be found in the following General Instructions.

It is important that all parts of these General Instructions are read in conjunction with the Directions for Use table.

1. Adjuvant/ surfactant/wetting agent
A recommended adjuvant must be used in conjunction with Velocity Selective Herbicide or with Velocity Selective Herbicide tank mixtures with other products in wheat, barley, cereal rye or triticale. The recommended adjuvants are Hasten (1% v/v), Supercharge at 0.75% v/v or Uptake at 0.5% v/v. The use of BS1000 or ammonium sulphate may result in reduced weed control from Velocity Selective Herbicide. Consult Bayer CropScience Pty. Ltd. for information on other adjuvants/surfactants/wetting agents.
For mixtures with compatible products refer to the table Wetting agent/Adjuvant Recommendation with Compatible Products in the Compatibility section (section 4) below.

2. Application
Ensure that complete and even spray coverage of all weeds is achieved.
Please refer also to the SPRAY DRIFT RESTRAINTS and MANDATORY NO-SPRAY ZONES with the DIRECTIONS FOR USE section of this label.
Velocity Selective Herbicide contains bromoxynil. For reliable control, good contact must be made with each plant. In dense weed or crop stands, good control may not be achieved even when the product rate and water volume are increased. In these situations a later clean-up spray of a suitable herbicide of a different Mode of Action group to Velocity is recommended.

a) Formulation type
Velocity Selective Herbicide is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate (EC).

b) Mixing
Half fill the spray tank with water, then with agitators in motion, add any compatible granular products if required then add the correct amount of Velocity Selective Herbicide directly into the spray tank. Add other relevant compatible herbicides, then adjuvant as recommended. Complete filling the tank with agitators in motion. Agitation must continue before and during spraying.

c) Spraying Equipment
Ground Sprayers – USE ONLY low boom equipment set up to provide good coverage of weeds within the crop canopy. The use of a nozzle that will deliver a MEDIUM spray quality as defined by ASABE S572 Standard or BCPC Guideline is recommended. The use of flat fan nozzles is recommended.
It is recommended that 50 to 150 L water/ha is applied. High spray volumes are required in the case of advanced weeds (greater than 4 leaf at time of application), heavy weed density (causing shading of weeds) or heavy crop canopy (causing shading of weeds), as adequate coverage is critical to ensure control.
Aircraft – DO NOT apply using aircraft.
Misters – DO NOT apply Velocity Selective Herbicide through a mister.

d) Sprayer Clean Up
The sprayer must be thoroughly cleaned before being used again to spray crops other than winter cereals. Cleaning procedure: Ensure that the following operation is carried out in an area that is clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, and preferably in an area where drainings can be contained.
Fill the boom tank with water, rinse and repeat this procedure (i.e. fill and rinse the tank twice) then remove and clean all filters (inline and nozzle) separately. A boom cleaner should be used in this process to provide an effective cleaning technique for Velocity. This should be done immediately after spraying is finished to prevent dried residues adhering to the tank/lines/filters. When a tank mixture of Velocity with a companion product has been used, more rigorous cleaning of the sprayer may be required than when using Velocity alone. Refer to the companion product label for appropriate instructions in this event.

3. Other Factors Influencing Weed Control
a) Application time of day
Optimum performance of Velocity occurs when it is applied in warmer temperature with high light intensity. To maximise efficacy avoid application of Velocity within 1 hour of sunset, or at night, particularly if followed by low overnight temperatures.

b) Effect of climate
Activity of Velocity Selective Herbicide will be reduced if weeds are stressed. Optimum results will be obtained if good temperature, good light intensity and good soil moisture exists at application.
Rainfast period
DO NOT use if rainfall or irrigation is to occur within 2 hours of application.
Temperature
DO NOT apply to frost affected weeds or if frosts are imminent. Frost causes stress on weeds and could result in decreased weed control. To ensure optimum results Velocity Selective Herbicide should only be applied once the weeds are no longer under stress from the frost conditions. The use of Velocity Selective Herbicide at 1 L/ha may provide better control of weeds during frosty periods however, good control may not be obtained.

c) Weed density
Velocity contains bromoxynil as one of its components. For reliable control good contact must be made with each plant. High weed density may cause shading of plants lower in the weed canopy. In dense weed or crop stands good control may not be achieved even when the Velocity rate is increased. A follow up application of a suitable herbicide may be required to control remaining plants.
For the control of dense wild radish populations increasing the rate to 1 L/ha or the addition of MCPA LVE will improve control in most situations. Because high weed density may cause shading of weeds lower in the plant canopy a follow-up application of a suitable herbicide may be required to control plants remaining after an application of Velocity.
Where crop or weed density is high, water volume should be increased as recommended in the Application section of this label above.

d) Weed emergence after application
Velocity will not control following germinations of weeds. A follow-up application of a suitable herbicide may be required to control remaining plants or plants that emerge after application.

e) Weed stage
Apply when weeds are actively growing. In most situations the rate specified for each weed size will give satisfactory control. Under certain conditions such as:
*high crop or weed density
*later germinations
*abnormal weed growth including early flowering
- higher rates of Velocity Selective Herbicide (up to 1 L/ha) may be required.
Velocity Selective Herbicide may not effectively control:
* regrowth of suppressed weeds;
* transplanted weeds;
* weeds growing under stress from previous herbicide applications.

4. COMPATIBILITY
Compatibility trials have not been conducted using Velocity at 1.0 L/ha. Recommended compatibilities refer to Velocity at 500 mL or 670 mL/ha only.
Observe the more rigorous of the crop and crop safety restrictions for the Velocity and companion herbicide labels when tank mixing.
When mixing with other herbicides increased crop effects may occur. Under normal growing conditions this should not result in any yield loss.

INCOMPATIBLE PRODUCTS
Products that are NOT compatible with Velocity must be applied separately. In this situation, it is recommended to apply Velocity first and then allow at least 10 days between its application and application of the incompatible product.

TRACE ELEMENTS
Reduced efficacy from Velocity will occur when mixed with trace elements.It is recommended to apply Velocity first and then allow at least 10 days between its application and application of any trace element.

Physically compatible products:
The following products have been tested for their physical compatibility only with Velocity (laboratory jar test). In field testing has not been conducted to determine if there are adverse effects on the target crop, or adverse effects on the efficacy of the products that are mixed. It is recommended that a small test area is treated before application to the entire crop.

Critical comments: DO NOT use a non-ionic surfactant, e.g. BS1000 when Velocity is applied alone or with any other product other than Wildcat 110 as reduced efficacy or speed of kill may result.
When used with Wildcat 110 the use of BS 1000 does not reduce efficacy of Velocity.
DO NOT use ammonium sulphate as the adjuvant for Velocity.

5. Crop Safety
Velocity Selective Herbicide shows good crop selectivity when used as directed. The following will help minimise crop effects.

Selective crops
- DO NOT apply to crops undersown with legumes.
- DO NOT apply to any crop other than wheat, barley, cereal rye or triticale.

Recommended growth stage
- Wheat, barley, triticale and cereal rye should be a minimum 2 leaf stage (Z12 growth stage), before application of Velocity Selective Herbicide.
- DO NOT apply later than Z31 (first node). Although Velocity may be applied to Z31, shading of weeds from advanced crop means that Velocity should be applied onto young crop.
- Optimum results are achieved when sprayed 4 - 6 weeks after sowing onto maximum 4 leaf weeds when cereals have usually 2 to 5 leaves (Z12-Z21).
Agronomic and environmental factors
- Some crop yellowing and growth retardation may occur within 2 to 5 weeks of application. Where Velocity Selective Herbicide up to 670 mL/ha is applied as recommended, any effects will be negligible and rapidly dissipate.
- Growth retardation may be increased if the crop is affected by root disease, (e.g. cereal cyst nematode, rhizoctonia, take-all (haydie)), nutritional stress, waterlogging, drought stress, excessively cold conditions or previous herbicide treatment.
- Do not apply to cereals that are physically damaged (e.g. by hail, wind, insect attack).
- Do not apply to crops not actively growing due to cold and wet conditions or drought stress.

6. Crop Rotation Recommendations
Minimum recropping intervals apply for all crops following Velocity Selective Herbicide application.
Recropping intervals are dependent on the rate of product applied. Areas that receive double rates (boom overlaps) may show symptoms of damage in sensitive crops. This is generally restricted to discolouration (bleaching) of the crop but may also result in biomass reduction or reduced yields in some situations.

Rainfall/irrigation –winter and summer recropping
For crops listed as requiring a minimum amount of rainfall or irrigation in combination with a set recropping interval: Rainfall and irrigation totalling less than the stated amount in the tables below following use of Velocity may result in an extended recropping interval.
Patchy rain, with extended dry periods may also result in an extended recropping intervals, even when rainfall exceeds the minimum stated. If in doubt, seek specialist advice.
Dry conditions or less than the recommended minimum rainfall
Velocity breaks down by microbial degradation, which is favoured by warm, moist, aerobic soil. Where less than the minimum rain has fallen between application and planting the next year, it is recommended to only plant a cereal crop.
pH
Application to soils with a pH greater than 8.4 (soil in water) has not been tested and is not recommended.
Recropping symptoms are reduced on acid soils (pH < 6.5 soil in water, pH < 6.0 in CaCl2).
TANK MIXTURE WITH OTHER HERBICIDES
In the event that a tank mixture of Velocity Selective Herbicide and another herbicide has been used, the longer recropping interval of the tank mix products should be observed for the crop in question.

Minimum rainfall/irrigation required: 250
Recropping Interval: 9 months

Crop – winter sown: Alkaline or neutral soils canola, chick pea, field pea, lucerne, lupin, vetch
Velocity rate applied: 1.0 L/ha**
Minimum rainfall/irrigation required: 250
Recropping Interval: 9 months

Crop – winter sown: Acid soils (pH <6.5 in water, pH<6.0 in CaCl2) canola, chick pea, clover, faba bean, field pea, lentil, lucerne, lupin, medic, vetch
Velocity rate applied: 1.0 L/ha
Minimum rainfall/irrigation required: 250
Recropping Interval: 9 months

Crop – winter sown: Alkaline or neutral soils lentil, medic
Note: On soils with free limestone do not use Velocity above 670 mL/ha unless substantial biomass reduction (medic) or discolouration (lentil, medic) is accepted in areas of boom overlap.
Velocity rate applied: 1.0 L/ha (see note in Crop column)
Minimum rainfall/irrigation required: 500
Recropping Interval: 21 months

For winter recropping, transient biomass reduction or discolouration may occur where recropped following Velocity application. When used as directed grain yield is not compromised where transient biomass reduction or discolouration occurs.
* Where Velocity at 670 mL/ha is applied on alkaline soils, recropping areas that receive double rates (boom overlaps) may show increased symptoms of damage in crops such as clover, faba bean and lentil. This is generally restricted to discolouration (bleaching) of the crop but may also result in biomass reduction or reduced yields in some situations.
**Where Velocity at 1.0 L/ha is applied on alkaline soils, recropping areas that receive double rates (boom overlaps) may show increased symptoms of damage in crops such as canola, field pea, lentil, lupin, medic and vetch. This is generally restricted to discolouration (bleaching) of the crop but may also result in biomass reduction or reduced yields in some situations.

Crop – summer sown: maize, sorghum
Velocity rate applied: up to 1.0 L/ha
Recropping Interval: 8 weeks

Crop – summer sown: cotton, soybean, sunflower

For summer recropping, transient biomass reduction or discolouration may occur where recropped after Velocity application. When used as directed grain yield is not compromised where transient biomass reduction or discolouration occurs.
***Where Velocity at 1.0 L/ha is applied, recropping areas that receive double rates (boom overlaps) may show increased symptoms of damage. This is generally restricted to discolouration (bleaching) of the crop but may also result in biomass reduction in some situations.

Resistant Weeds Warning
Velocity Selective Herbicide contains members of the pyrazolone (pyrasulfotole) and nitrile (bromoxynil) groups of herbicides. Velocity Selective Herbicide is a herbicide which inhibits 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (4-HPPD) and also acts by inhibition of photosynthesis at photosystem II in plant cells. For weed resistance management Velocity Selective Herbicide is a Group H and Group C herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to Velocity Selective Herbicide, and other Group H and 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 may not be controlled by Velocity Selective Herbicide or other Group H and Group C herbicides.
Since occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Bayer CropScience Pty. Ltd. accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Velocity Selective Herbicide to control resistant weeds.
Do not rely exclusively on Velocity Selective Herbicide for weed control. Use as part of an integrated weed management program involving herbicides with other modes of action and non-chemical methods of control. CropLife Australia resistance management strategies are available from your local agricultural chemical supplier or at the CropLife Australia website (www.croplifeaustralia.org.au). Refer to these strategies for details of how to manage the build up of resistant weeds on your farm.
