GENERAL INFORMATION:

For systemic control of many broadleaf weeds in: Wheat (spring, durum and winter), Barley, Oats, Stubble Fields, Summer fallow, and Canary Seed (Phalaris canariensis), and seedling and established grasses grown for forage.

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) coarse classification (according to the appropriate buffer zone table). 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 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) coarse classification (according to the appropriate buffer zone table). To reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices, the nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST
NOT exceed 65% of the wingspan or rotorspan.
DO NOT apply this product directly to freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands), estuarine or marine habitats.
DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
SURFACE RUNOFF: To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats, consider the characteristics and conditions of the site before treatment. Site characteristics and conditions that may lead to runoff include, but are not limited to, heavy rainfall, moderate to steep slope, bare soil, poorly draining soil (e.g. soils that are compacted, fine-textured, or low in organic matter such as clay).
Avoid applying this product when heavy rain is forecast.
Contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including a vegetative strip (buffer zone) between the treated area and the edge of the water body.
LEACHING: The use of this chemical may result in contamination of groundwater particularly in areas where soils are permeable (e.g. sand, loamy sand and sandy loam soils) and/or the depth to the water table is shallow.

APPLICATION INFORMATION:

Rate 1 to 1.5 litres per hectare.
Use 50-200 L/ha (depending on crop) of water by ground and 30 L/ha by air.
Use the 1.5 L/ha rate:
a) When weeds are not actively growing due to extended periods of hot and dry or cold and wet weather prior to or following application.
b) When weeds are beyond the 3-leaf stage
c) For heavy weed infestations.
d) For top growth control of Canada Thistle, Perennial Sow Thistle, Field Bindweed, Hedge Bindweed and for control of Cleavers.
e) For control of overwintering Flixweed, Shepherd's-Purse and stinkweed. Avoid overlapping. Shut off spray boom while starting, turning, slowing and stopping, otherwise crop injury may result.
