GENERAL INFORMATION
Idol Herbicide is a selective postemergence herbicide for the control of annual and perennial grasses in flax (including low linolenic acid varieties), canola, soybeans (including varieties designated “STS”), seed alfalfa, lentils, peas (field and processing) and seedling legumes for seed production. Recommended rates and timing for Idol Herbicide application will provide control of the emerged grasses present.
Idol Herbicide does not control sedges or broadleaf weeds.
Grass crops, including wheat, barley, rye, oats, and corn are highly sensitive to Idol Herbicide.
When not in use, keep container closed to prevent evaporation or loss through spillage.
Under certain environmental conditions, minor leaf spotting may occur on soybeans. New growth is unaffected and there is no adverse effect on crop yield.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Field sprayer application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) medium classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.
Aerial application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply when the wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at flying height at the site of application. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American
Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) medium classification. To reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices, the nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wing-or rotor- span.
GROUND APPLICATION
EQUIPMENT - SPRAY VOLUME
Apply the spray mixture with ground equipment only. Use a properly calibrated sprayer that will provide thorough coverage of the weeds with the spray. Apply a minimum of 100 litres per hectare total spray volume. Use flat fan nozzles. DO NOT USE FLOOD JET NOZZLES.
Use 50 mesh screens or larger. A spray pressure of 210-275 kPa is recommended. Under heavy weed pressure, use increased volumes up to 400 litres total spray volume per hectare.
Avoid overlapping. Shut off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing or stopping to prevent over application.
Use spray preparation of Idol Herbicide within 24 hours or product degradation may occur. If spray preparation is left without agitation, thoroughly agitate before using.
Do not apply when environmental conditions such as wind speed, temperature, relative humidity, etc. are favourable for drift to occur.
Do not apply to terrain where there is a potential for surface run-off to enter aquatic systems.
NOTE:
Extreme care must be taken to prevent drift to desirable plants or non-target agricultural land.
AERIAL APPLICATION: (Only for Idol Herbicide used alone)
Apply only by fixed-wing or rotary aircraft equipment, which has been functionally and operationally calibrated for the atmospheric conditions of the area and the application rates and conditions of this label. Label rates, conditions and precautions are product specific. Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. Apply only at the rate recommended for aerial application on this label. Where no rate for aerial application appears for the specific use, this product cannot be applied by any type of aerial equipment. Ensure uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking devices.
