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/WARNINGS
• The application of JUPITER to crops suffering from stress may lead to a check to growth from which the crops may not recover and in some cases crop losses may occur.
• If the temperature is 21°C or is likely to rise to this temperature for the period of twenty-four hours after application do not spray as serious crop damage can occur.
• If substantial day to night fluctuations in temperature occur shortly before or after the application crop growth may be checked.
• Weeds are best controlled at the seeding stage when growing actively in warm, moist, sunny conditions.
Under poor growing conditions control may be reduced.
• JUPITER will not control perennial weeds.
• DO NOT apply to wet foliage or during rainfall or drizzle.
• DO NOT overlap spray bouts.
• DO NOT apply any of the residual herbicide mixtures more than three times.
• DO NOT apply a residual herbicide mixture to sand soils.
• DO NOT roll or harrow the crop within seven days before or after applying JUPITER.
• Avoid spray drift onto neighbouring crops.

Crop Tolerance
All varieties of sugar beet, fodder beet and mangels can be sprayed at any stage of growth if healthy, however, do not apply to red beet before the crop has reached the fully expanded cotyledon stage. Timing should be determined by the stage of growth of the weeds present. The safety of JUPITER to the beet crop will vary with conditions around the time of application. As the beet plants are small and grow rapidly they can be affected by almost any change in conditions and can become stressed. This may not always be visible until affected by other factors such as herbicide spray.
The application of JUPITER to crops suffering from stress may lead to a check to growth from which the crops may not recover and in some cases crop losses may occur.
The most important causes of stress are listed below:
• High temperatures:
If the temperature is 21°C or is likely to rise to this temperature for the period of twenty four hours after application, do not spray as serious crop damage can occur. Where temperatures have been as high as 21°C and are falling, JUPITER may be applied at a reduced rate but some reduction in weed control should be expected. This is particularly useful in the evening after a hot day. A return to temperatures of 21°C and above in the following day may cause some check to the crop but this will normally be outgrown.
If substantial day to night fluctuations in temperature occur shortly before or after the application crop growth may be checked.
• High light intensity:
As JUPITER is activated by light, bright cloudless days may cause JUPITER to check the growth of the crop especially if it is already under another stress.
• Nutrient deficiency:
Crops suffering from nutrient deficiencies such as nitrogen, copper, manganese, magnesium or lime may be adversely affected when sprayed with JUPITER. Growers should ensure that nutrient statusof the soil is correct before the crop is drilled.
• Effects of other herbicides:
Damage or stress from pre-planting or pre-emergence herbicides can be increased by application of JUPITER.
When such damage or stress is apparent allow thesymptoms to disappear before applying the JUPITER.
• Damage from insect, other pests or fungal attack:
This will reduce the plants tolerance to JUPITER and the effects of such pest attack as mangel fly should be alleviated before application of JUPITER.
• Frost:
Plants treated with JUPITER may be more affected by frost following treatment than untreated crops.
• Hail or wind:
Plants suffering from hail damage or wind damage due to either rocking in the soil or from wind borne soil particles should not be treated until the effects of this damage have been outgrown.

MIXING
Half fill the spray tank with water and commence agitation. Add the tank-mix partner first and allow complete dispersion. Add the required amount of JUPITER to the sprayer tank and fill up with water whilst agitating. Use immediately. Continue agitation until spraying is complete. Application should be completed within two hours of mixing as there is a risk of nozzle blockage, especially if the water temperature is lower than 5°C.
