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 OR WARNINGS
DO NOT apply when crop is under stress, such as in frosty weather or when frost is expected, insect attack, manganese deficiency, wind damage or where there is possible check from earlier pesticide treatments.
DO NOT hoe beet crops within 21 days of application as weed control may be reduced. A period of at least twelve hours without rain should follow spraying otherwise weed control may be reduced.
AVOID DRIFT onto neighbouring crops, especially cereal crops.
In some situations CLAYTON KWIZ may cause yellowing of the foliage of pea crops. This is usually outgrown quickly.
Extreme care must be taken to avoid spray drift on to non-crop plants outside of the target area. Crops should not be re-entered until spray residues are dry.
CONSULT PROCESSORS BEFORE USING ON CROPS RECOMMENDED FOR PROCESSING.

RESISTANCE
Strains of some annual grasses e.g. blackgrass, wild oats and Italian ryegrass have developed resistance to herbicides which may lead to poor control. A strategy for preventing and managing herbicide resistant grass weeds should be adopted. Guidelines have been produced by the Weed Resistance Action Group. Copies are available from the HGCA, CPA, your distributor, crop advisor or product manufacturer. This product contains quizalofop-p-ethyl which is an
ACCase inhibitor, also classified by the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee as ‘Group A’.
• To reduce the risk of developing resistance, applications should be made to young, actively growing weeds. Use only as part of a resistance management strategy that includes:
• Use crop rotation and other cultural control measures to prevent and manage herbicide resistant grass weeds;
• Use of tank/product mixes or sequences of herbicides with different modes of action within individual crops, or successive crops;
• Use of grass weed herbicides with different modes of action throughout the cropping rotation;
• Monitoring of weed control effectiveness and investigation of any odd patches of poor grass weed control. If unexplained, contact your agronomist who may consider a resistance test appropriate;
• Do not use CLAYTON KWIZ or any other ACCase inhibitor as the sole means of grass weed control in successive crops. Always follow WRAG guidelines for preventing and managing herbicide resistant grass weeds.

MIXING AND SPRAYING
CLAYTON KWIZ should be applied as a FINE or MEDIUM spray (as defined by BCPC) in 200-300 litres water per hectare. Use the higher rate where crop and/or weed is dense and wild oats are present. It is essential to get good coverage of the weeds to get good control.
Ensure the sprayer is clean and in good working order. Calibrate according to sprayer manufacturers’ recommendations.
Half-fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required quantity of CLAYTON KWIZ.
Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is complete.
RINSE CONTAINER THOROUGHLY by using an integrated pressure rinsing device or manually rinsing three times.
Add washings to sprayer at time of filling and dispose of container safely. Wash out the sprayer thoroughly after use by rinsing three times with water.
