Contact the manufacturer and the Provincial Regulatory Agency in case of a spill, and for clean-up spills.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This granular herbicide is recommended for wild oat control in conventional or direct seeding systems in spring and durum wheat, barley, rapeseed (including canola), flax (not including low linolenic acid varieties), yellow and brown mustard, Oriental mustard (condiment and oilseed types), sugar beets and canary seed. Other crops should not be treated with this product as injury may occur.
This product can be either fall or spring applied according to the recommendations on this label. Seeding may be done either before or after application and incorporation in the spring depending upon the crop that is to be sown.
Pre-plant incorporated treatments generally provide superior wild oat control as compared to post-plant incorporated treatments.
This granular herbicide should be applied on the soil and incorporated before weeds germinate. If weeds have emerged prior to application, they must be controlled by tillage.
Application equipment must be properly calibrated. Application of an excessive rate of granular Avadex MicroActiv herbicide may injure the crop, whereas application of too low a rate may result in poor wild oat control. Before applying this product, be sure the soil is in good working condition. Clay soils may require additional tillage to obtain good tilth. Application to a field which is wet, lumpy, rough or ridged will result in reduced wild oat control and promote crop thinning. See the "Field Preparation" section for additional information.
The initial incorporation of this product into the soil must be completed within 48 hours after application and before germination of wild oats, except for treatments in direct seed systems. (Refer to the “Minimum Tillage/Direct Seeding Systems” section of this label). The incorporation should not be deeper than 5 cm, as deeper incorporation tends to dilute the product, thus decreasing wild oat control and increasing the risk of crop injury. See the "How to Incorporate" section for additional information.
When using granular Avadex MicroActiv herbicide, an untreated strip should be left for proof of results. Weed control may be evaluated by removing a surface 2.5 to 5 centimetres of soil at the time of germination to inspect the number of wild oats that were killed before emergence. This product is primarily absorbed by wild oat shoots from the treated layer of the soil. Wild oats are usually controlled before they emerge through the soil. Occasionally, and particularly under dry conditions and/or cool soil temperatures, some wild oats may emerge and reach the 3 to 4 leaf stage before dying.
Rainfall of at least 1.5 centimetres within 2 weeks after application in the spring is required to ensure maximum performance of the spring treatment.
Under conditions of prolonged cool soil temperatures at the time of germination, or extreme drought in spring, this product may not maintain the usual high standard of wild oat control.
FOR BEST RESULTS ON SPRING APPLICATIONS IN CONVENTIONAL SEEDING SYSTEMS, DELAY THE SECOND INCORPORATION FOR AT LEAST 48 HOURS FOLLOWING THE FIRST.
Under conditions of prolonged cool soil temperatures or extreme drought, a longer delay may be utilized to maximize control. Underseeding legumes: This product can be used in labelled crops which are to be underseeded to forage legumes such as alfalfa, clovers and trefoil provided that the legumes are not harvested for green chop, silage or hay in the year of seeding.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
DO NOT apply more than one application per year.
DO NOT apply this product directly to aquatic habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs, ditches and wetlands), estuaries and marine habitats.
DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
