APPLICATION METHODS
Gallant Ultra can be applied using conventional ground or aircraft spraying equipment. Flush equipment thoroughly with clean water after use. Decontaminate before using on plants that are sensitive to Gallant Ultra Crops susceptible to Gallant Ultra include, but are not limited to cereals, maize and grasses.
Cleaning spray equipment: Before using Gallant Ultra
If broadleaf herbicides, particularly sulfonylureas, have been used at any time prior to Gallant Ultra, ensure the spray equipment has been decontaminated in accordance with the relevant herbicide label directions prior to using the equipment to apply Gallant Ultra.
After using Gallant Ultra: Empty the spray tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the unit using a pressure hose. Drain spray unit and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles.
After cleaning the spray unit as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate the water through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice.
Decontamination
Before spraying crops sensitive to Gallant Ultra herbicide, decontaminate using the following procedure: Quarter fill the tank and add a standard alkali based laundry detergent at 500g (or mL)/100L of water and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250g (or mL)/100L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally, flush the system with clean water and allow to drain.
Cleaning water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area, or onto unused land away from desirable plants and water sources.
Using the spray equipment:

Aerial spraying: Use water volumes of 100-300 L/ha water applied as a coarse quality spray as defined by the British Crop Protection Council (BCPC) system or the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE S572).
Boom spraying: Use a minimum 200 L/ha water applied as a medium quality spray as defined by the British Crop Protection Council (BCPC) system or the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASABE S572).
Spot gun: Use an extension lance fitted with a solid cone nozzle.
High volume (including handgun): Apply as a wetting spray to full coverage using either a hand lance fitted with a solid cone or a handgun fitted with a No. 4 tip at 500 - 2000 kPa to deliver 1000-1500 L/ha.
Knapsack: Apply as a wetting spray to full coverage using at least 500 L/ha water volume.
