Beware: Apply this product carefully. Spray drift may cause serious damage to desirable plants. A strategy to minimise spray drift should be employed at all times when applying spray near aquatic environments. Ensure compliance with relevant regional air management plans. To minimise the risk of damage from drift of this product, especially where susceptible vegetation is within 0.5km, use low drift nozzles which minimise the production of small droplets (less than 100 microns). Maintain a water rate of at least 30 litres/ha for aerial spraying. Do not add additional wetter unless specified on the label. Preferred wind conditions for spraying are a light constant breeze away from any sensitive crop.

EQUIPMENT
Apply using well maintained spray equipment that is accurately calibrated to apply 100-300 litres of water/ha for ground spraying and 30-100 litres of water/ha for aerial spraying. Use higher water rates for larger weeds.

MIXING
Pour the measured quantity of MCPA Amine 750 Herbicide into the partly filled spray tank, then top up with water. Agitate thoroughly during filling and spraying.

CLEANING
Flush equipment thoroughly with clean water after use. If the spray unit which has applied MCPA Amine 750 Herbicide is to be used for the application of other chemicals to sensitive crops, ensure the unit is completely decontaminated using procedures recommended for phenoxy herbicides.

SHELF LIFE
When stored appropriately this product should show no significant degradation for two years from the date of manufacture. Contact your supplier for further information about the use of any product that is older than this.

SPILLAGE
Wear appropriate protective clothing and prevent material from entering waterways. Contain liquid spills, absorb with inert material and place in waste containers. Dispose of waste safely in an approved landfill.

TRANSPORT Do not carry this product on a passenger service vehicle.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING
Naturally occurring biotypes resistant to MCPA Amine 750 Herbicide and other phenoxy herbicides are known to exist. These become more prevalent after may years of continuous use of the product. Species with known resistant biotypes include nodding thistle, giant buttercup and slender winged thistle. To prevent or delay the development of resistant weeds use MCPA Amine 750 Herbicide in tank mixes where appropriate, and/or in rotations with herbicides having a different mode of action against the weed.

ANIMAL SAFETY
Poisonous plant may become more palatable after spraying, and stock should be kept away form the area until plants have died down.

GENERAL COMMENTS
It is-an offence for users of this product to cause residues exceeding the relevant MRL in the New Zealand (Maximum Residue Limits of Agricultural Compounds) Food Standards. MCPA Amine 750 Herbicide is damaging to clovers. To minimise clover damage, especially where clovers are actively growing, hard graze to remove as much clover leaf as possible before spraying. Booklet MCPA Amine 750 Herbicide final label 11 Sep 2012 Page 7 of 8 HSNO classifications 6.1D, 6.9A, 8.3A, 9.1A, 9.1D, 9.2A, 9.3B Weeds are best controlled as small seedlings. Use the lower rate on seedlings and young plants, and the higher rate on larger weeds or during periods of hardened growth. Established perennial weeds may not be well controlled. Do not apply when crop or weeds are stressed. Weed control may be unsatisfactory where low soil temperatures inhibit plant growth. In established pastures spray weed seedlings in late autumn/early winter, after clover growth has frosted. Spraying should be carried out in fine calm weather when weeds are dry. Rainfall within 2 hours may reduce efficacy.

WEEDS CONTROLLED
MCPA Amine 750 Herbicide controls or severely checks the following: Bathurst bur, black nightshade, burdock, buttercups (celery leaved, creeping*, giant*, and water), catsear, daisy, dandelion, fathen, field cress, fumitory, hawkbit, hedge mustard, hoary cress, mouse-eared hawksweed, nettles, Onehunga weed, oxtongue, pennycress, plantain, ragwort*, redroot, shepherd’s purse, storksbill, thistles (Californian*, nodding*, Scotch, sow, star, welted*, winged* and variegated), tiger weed (beggar’s ticks), twin cress, watercress*, wild turnip.

*Note
Californian thistle, creeping and giant buttercup, watercress – Apply MCPA Amine 750 Herbicide at flower bud formation. Repeat or annual treatment may be necessary. Thistles – nodding, winged, welted – Apply MCPA Amine 750 Herbicide in late autumn after the main strike. Repeat in spring where necessary. Ragwort: MCPA Amine 750 Herbicide will control ragwort seedlings and small rosettes. Large rosettes or multicrowns require spot treatment with other herbicides.

BARLEY, WHEAT, RYECORN
Rate per Hectare: 0.75 – 1.5 litres
Notes: From 5 leaf stage to start of jointing. Do NOT use MCPA Amine 750 Herbicide on undersown cereals. Use MCPB.

OATS
Rate per Hectare: 0.75 – 1.5 litres 
Notes: From 1 leaf stage to start of jointing. Do NOT use MCPA Amine 750 Herbicide on undersown cereals. Use MCPB.

GRASS SEED
Rate per Hectare: 0.75 – 1.8 litres
Notes: Apply soon after shutting up.

LINSEED
Rate per Hectare: 1 litre
Notes: Up to flower bud stage.

PASTURES, LAWNS, PLAYING FIELDS
Rate per Hectare: 1.5 – 3 litres
Notes: See “General Comments”. On new pastures use Thistrol† Plus for maximum clover protection.

Knapsack: Use 25-50 mL per 10 litres of water. Use the high rate for perennial or hard-to-kill weeds.
Motorised Mist Blower: Use 130 mL per 10 litres of water. Operate machine at middle setting. Best plant cover is obtained by allowing the airstream to gently move the foliage of the weeds being sprayed.
