TOMAHAWK is a pyridine herbicide for the control of broadleaf weeds in cereals and apples and works by disrupting cell growth of weeds. Fluroxypyr is systemic and is rapidly absorbed through the leaves and transported to other parts of the plant. For best results apply when the soil is moist and plants are actively growing, when uptake of TOMAHAWK will be at the optimum.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Cereals: TOMAHAWK is a selective herbicide for the control of certain broadleaf weeds in wheat, barley and oats. Apply from the 3 leaf stage of the crop to booting (flag leaf) growth stage. Do not spray cereals undersown with clover or lucerne.

Weeds: Black nightshade Docks (seedling) 
Rate Litre/Ha: 0.75
Comments: Weeds should be at the 2 - 6 leaf stage

Weeds: Field chickweed 
Rate Litre/Ha: 1.0
Comments: Apply before flowering

Weeds: Cleavers
Rate Litre/Ha: 1.25
Comments: Apply at the 2 – 4 whorl stage. Application may also be made to cleavers at advanced growth stages to achieve knockdown.

Weeds: Wireweed Cornbind Field madder
Rate Litre/Ha: 1.25
Comments: Apply to wireweed and cornbind at the 2 – 6 leaf growth stage. Apply to field madder before flowering.

Weeds: Volunteer potato 
Rate Litre/Ha: 2.0
Comments: Suppression only. Apply when volunteer potatoes are 10 – 20 cm in height. The level of control will vary according to potato vigour, variety and crop competition.

TANK MIXING: Tank mixing with other cereal herbicides such as BROMOTRIL® will also increase the spectrum of weeds controlled, provided local experience has shown the mixtures to be safe. Refer to the product labels for application timing and weed spectrum controlled. The addition of Adama MCPA 750 herbicide to TOMAHAWK will broaden the weed spectrum for control of fathen, hedge mustard, wild turnip, shepherd’s purse and nettle and will improve the control of wireweed. Refer to the MCPA label for application timing.

WITHHOLDING PERIOD:
Cereals: Do not graze failed crops for 7 days after application.

Apples:
TOMAHAWK broadens the activity of POLARIS 360, POLARIS 450 and POLARIS ACCELERATE against certain broadleaf weeds in orchards. Refer to table below for use directions. Applications should be directed to the ground ensuring contact is not made with any green bark, suckers, foliage or fruit of the tree. Do not apply to trees less than 3 years old. Refer to the POLARIS labels for use rates for weeds not listed below, general recommendations and precautions relating to that product.

Weeds: White clover
Rate Litre/Ha: 1.5
Comments: Add an organosilicone wetting agent at the recommended rate.

Weeds: Docks
Rate Litre/Ha: 1.5
Comments: Apply TOMAHAWK in mixture with POLARIS 360 at 2 litres/Ha or POLARIS 450 at 1.6 litres/Ha. Add an organosilicone wetting agent at the recommended rate.

Weeds: Large flowered mallow Creeping mallow
Rate Litre/Ha: 2.0
Comments: Apply TOMAHAWK in mixture with POLARIS 360 at 3 litres/ha or POLARIS 450 at 2.4 litres/Ha. Add an organosilicone wetting agent at the recommended rate.

APPLICATION METHOD:
TOMAHAWK can be applied using conventional ground spraying equipment. Flush equipment thoroughly with clean water after use.

Boom spraying: Use 100–200 litres of water per hectare in accordance with The New Zealand Standard for the Management of Agrichemicals (NSZ8409) as a medium quality spray. For late applications use 300 litres of water per hectare as medium quality spray to obtain more complete coverage.

COMPATIBILITY:
TOMAHAWK is compatible with POLARIS, Adama MCPA 750, 2,4-D680 Ester, clopyralid and most commonly used fungicides and insecticides.

RAINFALL:
Do not apply if rain is likely to occur within two hours of application.
