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

RESTRICTIONS
• Do not apply to sweetcorn, maize grown for seed production or grown in production of inbred lines.
• Do not treat with ELUMIS once a soil insecticide based on an organophosphate such as phorate has been applied.
• Do not mix with foliar or liquid fertilisers.
• Do not apply in sequence or in tank-mix with a product containing any other sulfonylurea.
• Under certain conditions, some transient yellowing and/or crop stunting and/or loss of vigour can be seen after treatment. This is quickly outgrown and no yield effect has been shown.
• Applications should not be made to maize crops that are under stress, as this may lead to incidences of more persistant crop damage. Apply product at the recommended dose rate to a healthy crop.
• Strains of some annual weeds (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 such resistance should be adopted. Guidelines have been produced by the Weed Resistance Action Group and copies are available from the HGCA, CPA, your distributor, crop advisor or product manufacturer.
• Avoid the use of ELUMIS, or any other ALS inhibitor herbicide, as a sole means of grass and broadleaved weed control in successive crops.
• Some flower deformation may be seen on particular sensitive varieties e.g. Abraxas, Fjord and Rival.
• Take extreme care to avoid drift onto dicotyledonous plants outside the targer area.
• Take extreme care to avoid drift onto all crops ouside the target area, otherwise crop damage will result.
• Avoid overlapping spray swaths, as considerable crop damage may occur which may not grow out and could lead to yield reductions.
• Ensure spraying equipment is thoroughly washed out according to officially approved guidelines or regulations.
• Only dispose of washings, split material and packaging according to officially approved guidelines or regulations.
• The freshly treated area must not be grazed, no food or feed collected from it.
• Do not enter treated areas before spray deposit on leave surfaces has dried, unless protective clothing is worn.
• Use of ELUMIS is not recommended for use in more than 2 consecutive seasons at a time in continuous maize production.

MIXING AND SPRAYING
Preparation of the spray solution
Shake thoroughly the ELUMIS container. Half fill the spray tank with clean water and begin agitation. Add the required quantity of ELUMIS to the tank and complete filling. Continue agitation until spraying is completed.

Application
Application of ELUMIS will be achieved by using conventional ground spraying equipment at water volumes of 200-400 L/ha. Apply using a medium quality spray (BCPC) at a pressure of at least 2 bar. Even cover of weeds is essential.

After Use
Disposal of spray tank washings should be in accordance with local, state or national legislation.

Tank cleaning procedure
The following cleaning procedure is recommended:
1. Drain tank completely then flush tank, boom and hoses with clean water. Drain again.
2. Half fill the tank with clean water and add a detergent (e.g. Bonus - 100 mL/200L water) or a sodium hypochlorite based solution. Flush through boom and hoses and then allow standing for 10 minutes with agitation. Drain completely.
3. To remove traces of detergent, rinse the tank with clean water and flush through booms and hoses.
4. Repeat step 2. 4
5. Nozzles and filters must be removed and cleaned separately with the detergent solution at the same concentration as above.
6. Any contamination on the outside of the spraying equipment should be removed by washing with clean water.

SOIL CONDITIONS
ELUMIS can be used on all soils (light, medium and heavy soils). High organic material content in soil may impair activity
