DIRECTIONS FOR USE


IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.


RESTRICTIONS


DO NOT use Pacifica Plus on crops undersown with grasses, clover or other legumes or any other broad-leaved crop.
Pacifica Plus must not be applied to any crop suffering from stress as a result of drought, waterlogging, pest or disease attack, nutrient deficiency, soil compaction or other factors reducing crop growth.
Because some non-target crops are sensitive to Pacifica Plus, extreme care is required to avoid drift onto plants outside the target area, or onto ponds, waterways or ditches.
Do not apply Pacifica Plus when rain is imminent.
Do not apply during periods of frosty weather.
Do not overlap spray swaths.
Store in a safe dry place designated as an agrochemical store.

WEEDS CONTROLLED


This product contains mesosulfuron-methyl, iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium and amidosulfuron which are ALS inhibitors, also classified by the Herbicide Resistance
Action Committee as ‘Group B’. Use only as a part of a resistance management strategy that includes cultural methods of control and does not use ALS inhibitors as the sole chemical method of grass-weed control. Strains of some annual grasses (e.g. black-grass, wild oats and Italian rye-grass) have developed resistance to herbicides which may lead to poor control. A strategy for preventing and managing resistance should be adopted. Guidelines have been produced by the Weed Resistance Action
Group and copies are available from Teagasc, your distributor, crop advisor or product manufacturer.
