GENERAL INFORMATION
DO NOT APPLY BY AIR.
This product is recommended for wild oat control 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 dry peas only. Other crops should not be treated with this product because 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 herbicide, or any labelled tank mixture of this 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 Extra Strength Avadex BW 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 incorporation of this product in to the soil must be completed as soon as possible on the day of application. 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 Extra Strength Avadex BW herbicide, an untreated strip should be left for proof of results. Weed control may be evaluated by removing a surface 2.5 to 5 cm of soil at the time of germination to inspect the number of wild oats that were killed. 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 cm 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.
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.

HOW TO MIX AND APPLY
Herbicides may not always mix evenly throughout a sprayable fluid fertilizer or the components may separate too quickly to make their combined use of practical value. This may be due to certain characteristics of the different fluid fertilizers. Always predetermine the compatibility of this product with a sprayable fluid fertilizer carrier by mixing small proportional quantities in advance. If large flakes, sludge, gel or other precipitates occur, do not use the carrier with this product in the same spray tank.
Apply Extra Strength Avadex BW Herbicide, or the labelled tank mixture in a minimum of 90 litres of water or sprayable fluid fertilizer carrier (such as 28-0-0) per hectare as a broadcast treatment.
Spraying during winds above 16 kilometres per hour will result in a loss of this product or the labelled tank mixture and may result in less than optimum wild oat control.
Mix this product or the labelled tank mixture with the appropriate carrier as follows:
1. Fill the tank approximately three-quarters full with carrier.
2. Carefully add the proper amount of this product or the labelled tank mixture while mixing.
3. Complete filling the sprayer tank with carrier. Remove the hose from the tank immediately to avoid siphoning back into the carrier source. Maintain good agitation at all times until the contents of the tank are sprayed.
NOTE: If spray mixture is allowed to settle at anytime, thorough agitation is required to resuspend the mixture before spraying is resumed.
4. The sprayer by-pass valve should be in operation before and during application.
Before spraying, check all hose connections to see that they are properly secured. Adjust the height of the spray boom in the field to ensure an even distribution of the product on the soil. Avoid overlapping of the spray. Overlapping will double the recommended rate and crop injury may result. Pressure should not be above 200 kPa and just high enough to provide a uniform spray pattern. Boomless sprayers should not be used as the distribution of Extra Strength Avadex BW herbicide will be uneven. Flush the sprayer with clean water after use.
Promptly change clothing which becomes wetted by accidental spillage or drift from spray. Wash clothing before reuse.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
The recommended higher rates of this product should be used in soils with greater than 4% organic matter content.
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.
DO NOT handle more than 189 kg a.i./day (394 L for Extra Strength Avadex BW Herbicide). Mixtures must be prepared by using a closed mix/load system. Applicators using ground equipment must use a closed cab.
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 and Biological Engineers medium classification.

STORAGE
STORE ABOVE 0 C TO KEEP FROM FREEZING.
Freezing will result in crystals which settle to the bottom of the can. If allowed to freeze, place in a warm room (22 C) and roll and shake the can frequently for several days to redissolve.
Keep Extra Strength Avadex BW herbicide container closed to prevent spills, evaporation and contamination.
Avoid contamination of seed, feed and foodstuffs.
