GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Apparent Weedy Seedy 250 Herbicide quickly kills a wide range of annual grasses, broadleaf weeds and some perennial grasses when sprayed directly onto the leaves. The active ingredients are rapidly and tightly absorbed by clay and silt particles in the soil and do not leave any effective soil residues. Thus crops sown almost immediately after spraying are not affected by the chemicals, nor are weed seeds which germinate after spraying.
Where insect pests are anticipated use recommended insecticide treatment. Regular checks should be made before and after sowing.
Suitable residual herbicides can be tank mixed with Apparent Weedy Seedy 250 Herbicide to provide extended in-crop weed control in fallows and subsequent crops. Read label recommendations of the respective residual herbicides prior to their use and observe precautions against use of residual herbicides before planting susceptible crops. See compatibility statement on this label for compatibility of Apparent Weedy Seedy 250 Herbicide with other herbicides.

APPLICATION
(1) Boomspray
Use only through a properly calibrated boomspray which should be fitted with flat fan jets and adjusted to a height to give at least double overlap of the spray at the top of the weeds being sprayed. Spraying pressures should be in the range of 240 to 280 kPa. Speed of travel should be in the range of 6 to 10 km/hr. It is essential that a good marking system be used. If a disc marker is used it must be mounted so as to turn the soil back on to the area sprayed.

CONTROL OF WEEDS AFTER CROP HARVEST AND IN CULTIVATED AND NON-CULTIVATED FALLOWS – NORTHERN NEW SOUTH WALES AND QUEENSLAND ONLY

USE OF APPARENT WEEDY SEEDY 250 HERBICIDE FOR WEED CONTROL AFTER CEREAL HARVEST PROCEDURE (5)

New Zealand Spinach, Bladder Ketmia, and Milk Thistle are often present after cereal harvest. They can be controlled by the application of 1.6 to 2.4 L/ha of Apparent Weedy Seedy 250 Herbicide in at least 100 L of clean water. Use a properly calibrated boom sprayer. Ensure that the boom is set for double overlap at the top of the weed canopy. The weed species must be free from dust and actively growing. They should not be shielded from the spray by stubble or trash. The use of a straw spreader at harvest is recommended.

USE OF APPARENT WEEDY SEEDY 250 HERBICIDE FOR THE CONTROL OF WEEDS DURING THE FALLOW PROCEDURE (6)

Weeds must be controlled during the fallow to conserve moisture. While cultivation can eliminate weeds, it also exposes the soil to moisture loss. In addition, repeated cultivations destroy soil structure, reduce organic matter, and stubble cover. This leads to the formation of hard pans, soil crusts, and increases the risk of erosion. Under moist soil conditions, weeds are frequently transplanted and not killed, and weed growth holds the soil in clods. Apparent Weedy Seedy 250 Herbicide provides an economical and reliable alternative for fallow weed control. For use in fallows to be planted to sugar cane and for weed control prior to planting sugar cane, refer to the specific section of the label.

a) Seedling Weeds: Seedling weeds should be sprayed with 1 to 3.2 L/ha Apparent Weedy Seedy 250 Herbicide in 50 to 100 L of clean water (see Directions for Use table). Some difficult-to-control weeds may require a second application 7 to 21 days later, or control may be assisted by a following cultivation.

b) Advanced Weed Growth: While some advanced weeds will be controlled by a single application of Apparent Weedy Seedy 250 Herbicide, many species will require a follow-up cultivation to complete the kill. Apparent Weedy Seedy 250 Herbicide rapidly desiccates plant material and causes weed roots to loosen their grip on the soil. The results are improved incorporation of plant material, a reduced number of large clods, and a more reliable weed kill even in moist soil. Use the recommended rates of Apparent Weedy Seedy 250 Herbicide in 100 to 200 L of clean water.

Control of Transplanted Weeds: Weeds transplanted by unsuccessful cultivation present an extremely difficult problem. If there is a risk that cultivation will result in weeds being transplanted (particularly under moist soil conditions), it is recommended that the weeds be sprayed with Apparent Weedy Seedy 250 Herbicide prior to cultivation (see the previous section). Weeds partly covered by soil and clods provide poor conditions for successful chemical weed control. The best results will be achieved by allowing the weeds to make some regrowth to provide an adequate chemical target. Apply the highest rate of Apparent Weedy Seedy 250 Herbicide, preferably spraying in the late afternoon or early evening.

USE OF APPARENT WEEDY SEEDY 250 HERBICIDE FOR THE CONTROL OF SEEDLING WEEDS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOWING PROCEDURE (7)

(a) Sowing with Full Disturbance (Full Combine): The cultivation action of the combine aids in weed kill. Use 0.8 to 2.4 L of Apparent Weedy Seedy 250 Herbicide depending upon weed species (see Directions for Use table). Sowing should commence within 7 days of spraying.

(b) Sowing with Minimum Disturbance (Row Crop, No-till Planters): A higher rate of Apparent Weedy Seedy 250 Herbicide is recommended due to the absence of cultivation. Use Apparent Weedy Seedy 250 Herbicide at 1 to 3.2 L/ha in Southern Australia; 1.2 to 3.2 L/ha in Northern Australia (Qld, Nthn NSW and NT only).
