PASTURES AND FALLOW LAND
Crop stage: Post-emergence
Weed: Hardhead Thistle (creeping Knapweed, Russian Knapweed)
Weed stage: Actively growing plants
Rate ml / ha:
Hand gun: 500 mL/100 L of water
Boom spray: 2 or 4 L/ha
State: Vic only
Rate ml / ha:
Hand gun: 500 mL/100 L of water
Boom spray: 4 L/ha
State: Qld only

Weed: Thistles including: Nodding, Scotch, Saffron, Slender, Spear, Variegated
Weed stage: Rosette stage prior to stem elongation. Treat rosette stage prior to stem elongation.
Rate ml / ha: 50 or 70 mL/ha plus 1 to 1.5 L MCPA amine (500 g/L)/ha
Drench gun: 50 mL/1 L of water
Hand gun: 250 mL/100 Lof water
State: Qld, NSW, ACT, Vic, Tas, SA only

Critical comments: NOTE: DO NOT USE ON LUCERNE. CLOVERS AND MEDICS WILL BE ELIMINATED FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR.
Victoria only: Use the lower rate only on light soils (sand and sandy loam) where a slightly lower degree of control is acceptable. Use the higher rate on all soil types where complete control is required. Addition of a wetting agent at label rates is recommended of Hardhead Thistle. Spray between September and April on actively growing plants for effective control. Thorough coverage is essential. Apply in 200 to 250 L of water/ha.
Boom Spraying: Use the higher rates of VICTORY plus MCPA on multi-crowned plants or rosettes larger than 30 cm in diameter. Spraying may be done at any time during active growth, usually in early winter or spring. Avoid spraying during the dormant winter period or at any time when thistles are not actively growing. DO NOT spray flowering thistles.
Pre-spray Management: The pasture should be slightly grazed prior to spraying to reduce clover and grass cover and expose the smaller thistles to the spray. The grazed pasture should be left seven days to allow thistles to freshen prior to treatment.
Post-treatment Management: Response of thistles to treatment with the VICTORY plus MCPA mixture will be slow compared to the standard treatments with 2,4-D or MCPA. If possible delay grazing of sprayed thistles for 14 days after treatment.
Clover Damage: The VICTORY plus MCPA mixture can be very damaging to Subterranean Clover. The lower rate is no more damaging than label rates of 2,4-D or MCPA. The higher rate of the VICTORY plus MCPA mixture will reduce the clover component of the pasture for about two months . Clover recovery will be quicker during periods of active growth.
Hand gun (Spot spray): Treat from rosette stage to early flowering. Thorough spraying is necessary.
Drench gun: Apply 10 mL to rosette crown. To multi-crown plants, apply 10 mL to each crown.

Weed: Variegated Thistle
Weed stage: Rosette stage prior to stem elongation. Treat rosette stage prior to stem elongation.
Rate ml / ha: 100
Rate ml / ha: 501 or 70 mL plus 400 mL MCPA amine (500 g/L)
State: WA only
Critical comments: Apply the 100 mL rate in areas where Restricted Spraying Regulations prohibit the use of phenoxy herbicides.
1 Use the lower rate on rosettes smaller than 15 cm. Subterranean Clovers will be damaged by these treatments.

Weed: Nodding Thistle
Weed stage: Rosettes up to 20 cm diameter
Rate ml / ha: 100
State: NSW, ACT only
Critical comments: Apply the spray from September to October. Apply by boom spray only.
DO NOT apply to thistles over 20 cm in diameter. When thistles are over 20 cm in diameter use VICTORY plus MCPA (referred to above).
Clover Damage: Damage to white clover will be no greater than damage with MCPA alone and less than damage from VICTORY plus MCPA mixtures. Damage to Sub-clover may be greater than with MCPA or 2,4-D alone. DO NOT use for spot treatment.

Weed: Californian Thistle
Weed stage: From early buds to flowering (December to February)
Rate ml / ha:
Hand gun: 250 mL/100 L of water
Boom spray: 2 L/ha
State: Vic, Tas only
Critical comments: Addition of a wetting agent at label rates is recommended. Retreatment of regrowth in the year following treatment will usually be necessary to achieve a high level of control.
Note: Clovers and Medics will be eliminated for at least one year.

PASTURE, FORESTS, RIGHTS-OF-WAY AND INDUSTRIAL SITUATIONS
Crop stage: Post-emergence
Weed: Groundsel Bush
Weed stage: Young seedlings to mature plants
Rate ml / ha: Hand gun: 330 or 500 mL/100 L of water

Critical comments: Spray foliage when growth is active. Use the lower rate on young seedlings and the higher rate on plants more than 2 m tall or when growth is slow.

PASTURE
Crop stage: Post-emergence
Weed: Silver Wattle
Weed stage: Active growth Spring to Summer
Rate ml / ha:
Hand gun: 500 mL/100 L of water

State: NSW, ACT, Vic, Tas only
Critical comments: For effective control apply when bushes are growing actively. Large trees will not show complete necrosis.
Hand gun: Means high volume NOT low volume knapsack. Spray to give full coverage of leaves and stems. Add organosilicone surfactant at 200 mL/100 L for optimum results. See General Instructions for hand gun spraying.
Boom and Aerial spraying: For boom spraying in 150 to 200 L of water/ha. For aerial treatment apply in a minimum of 50 L/ha of water containing 25 to 50% by volume of anti-evaporant oil such as SACOA ANTIVAP Spray Adjuvant†. Mix VICTORY and water first and then add SACOA ANTIVAP Spray Adjuvant†. Maintain continuous agitation. Clovers and other legumes will be eliminated for at least one year.

APPLICATIONS
DO NOT apply this product by air or mister within a Chemical Control Area in Victoria unless a permit has been issued by the Department of Natural Resources and Environment.
Boom Spraying Plantation Trees: Apply VICTORY in sufficient water to obtain good coverage. It should be applied by an accurately calibrated ground rig or aircraft, delivering 200 to 300 micron droplets and not less than 50 L/ha water volume for boom sprayers or not less than 20 L/ha for aerial application.
Hardhead Thistle – Use a spray volume of 200 to 250 L/ha of water.
Silver Wattle – Use a spray volume of 150 to 200 L/ha of water by ground boomspray and a minimum spray volume of 50 L/ha by aircraft.
Boom Spraying Crop and Pastures: Apply VICTORY in sufficient water to obtain good coverage. It should be applied by an accurately calibrated ground rig or aircraft, delivering 200 to 300 micron droplets and not less than 50 L/ha water volume for boom sprayers or not less than 20 L/ha for aerial applications.
Hardhead Thistle – Use a spray volume of 200 to 250 L/ha of water.
Silver Wattle – Use a spray volume of 150 to 200 L/ha of water by ground boomspray and a minimum spray volume of 50 L/ha by aircraft.
High Volume Hand Gun: Apply the recommended mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems through a No. 6-8 tip at 700 to 1500 kPa.
Spray volume for effective coverage of dense two metre high Silver Wattle should be 30 to 40 litres of spray per 100 m2 (10 m x 10 m) of infestation. For larger areas an equivalent would be 3000 to 4000 litres per infested hectare.

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plant and water courses.

PARTIAL CLEANING
(Before spraying other labelled or tolerant crops): After using VICTORY, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose. Quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, line, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat procedure twice.

COMPLETE CLEANING
(Before spraying susceptible crops): After using VICTORY, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose. Quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate as above, then drain. Quarter fill the tank again and add a liquid detergent (eg. Surf†, Omo†, Drive†) at 500 mL/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least fifteen minutes. Drain, remove filters and nozzles and clean separately. Rinse inside the tank thoroughly using a pressure hose and flush system with clean water.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING
VICTORY Herbicide is a member of the Pyridines group of herbicides. VICTORY has the disruptors of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management VICTORY is a Group I Herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to VICTORY and other Group I herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population.
