THE PRODUCT
Olympus Herbicide is a selective pre-plant and pre-emergence herbicide which when applied in a tank mixture with glyphosate controls several broadleaf and grassy weeds in spring, durum and winter wheat.

CROPS AND APPLICATION TIMING
OLYMPUS Herbicide can be applied up to 1 week prior to planting spring, durum and winter wheat, or immediately after planting but prior to crop emergence. DO NOT apply to crops under sown with legume species.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS AND CAUTIONS
• Apply only once per crop cycle (in the fall or spring).
• For best results, apply to emerged, young, actively growing weeds. Weed control may be reduced when weeds are under stress due to severe weather conditions, drought, very cold temperatures, etc. Weed control may be reduced if herbicide application is made under dry, dusty conditions, especially in wheel track areas.
• Under cool and/or dry conditions activity may be reduced or delayed. Weed control may also be reduced if application is made when weeds are dust covered or in the presence of heavy dew, fog, or mist/rain.
• Follow directions under Sections 8, 9 and 10 for the correct rate and timing of application.
• Avoid contact with desirable plants or crops either from direct application or from spray drift as severe damage may occur.
• As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control aquatic pests.
• DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
BUFFER ZONES:
Use of the following spray methods or equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone: hand-held or backpack sprayer and spot treatment.
The buffer zones specified in the table below are required between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (such as grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas and shrublands) and sensitive freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands).

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) coarse classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.
• Application of OLYMPUS Herbicide should be made using a minimum of 46.8 litres of water per hectare, at a pressure of 275 kPa, or 310 kPa if using check valves, and at a ground speed of 6-8 kph.
• When tank mixing OLYMPUS Herbicide with a tank mix partner, ensure you read the tank mix partner label for minimum water recommendations.
• The use of 80° or 110° flat fan nozzles is recommended for optimum spray coverage.
• Do not use flood jet nozzles, controlled droplet application equipment or Sprafoil equipment.
• Uniform, thorough coverage is important to obtain consistent weed control. Higher water volumes should be used under dense crop and weed canopies to ensure thorough coverage of the target weeds.
• Avoid overlapping; shut off spray boom while starting, turning, slowing or stopping to prevent crop injury from over-application.

AERIAL APPLICATION
• DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply when 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

Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) coarse 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 rotorspan.

• Apply OLYMPUS Herbicide (ONLY with the recommended tank mix partners that are registered for aerial use) in no less than 28.1 litres of water per hectare at a pressure no less than 300 kPa.
• 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 on this label.
• Ensure uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking devices.
