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.
MERTIL is a contact and residual herbicide for use against a range of annual grasses and broadleaved weeds in winter wheat, winter barley, winter triticale and winter rye.

MIXING AND SPRAYING
Before spraying ensure the sprayer is clean and in good working order. Half fill the sprayer with clean water and begin to agitate. Add the required quantity of MERTIL and complete filling whilst continuing to agitate. Continue to agitate during spraying.
Apply in 200 – 500L water/ha as a medium spray, using a horizontal boom sprayer. A spray pressure of at least 2 bars is advised. Good, even spray coverage of soil and weeds is essential. Ensure that spray swaths do not overlap. To prevent damage, care must be taken to avoid drift onto neighbouring sensitive crops (e.g. oilseed rape).

After Spraying
Wash out the sprayer thoroughly after use using a recognised tank cleaner or wetting agent.
After using MERTIL empty the tank completely and drain the whole system.
Thoroughly wash the inside of the tank with a pressure hose. Quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, line, hoses and nozzles, then drain. Quarter fill the tank again, add a suitable detergent (tank cleaner or wetting agent) and circulate through the system for at least 15 minutes. Drain, remove filters and nozzles and clean separately. Rinse the inside of the tank thoroughly using a pressure hose and flush system with clean water.
