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
• Do not treat with MILAGRO 40 OD once a soil insecticide based on an organophosphate has been applied.
• Do not mix with foliar or liquid fertilisers.
• MILAGRO 40 OD can be used post-emergence at the recommended rate to directly target specific weed species. Choose the correct dose for the weeds present. As part of a weed resistance management plan MILAGRO 40 OD must be used in sequence with herbicides with other modes of action that are active against the same weeds, particularly in continuous maize.
• How to best use this product, your local technical representative should be contacted.
• Under certain conditions, some transient yellowing and/or crop stunting and/or loss of vigour can be seen from 1 to 2 weeks after treatment (2 – 8 leaves of maize). This is quickly outgrown and no yield effect has been shown.
• Some flower deformation may be seen on particularly sensitive varieties e.g. Rival.
• Applications should not be made to maize crops that are under stress, as this may lead to incidences of more persistant crop damage, such as loss of vigour, particularly when poorer growing conditions follow treatment. This may cause loss of yield. Take care to ensure that products are evenly applied at the recommended dose to a healthy crop.
• Due to its high level of activity, care must be taken to avoid damage by spray drift onto plants outside the target area.

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Timing and Rates of Use
Control of Annual Grasses
Use : Apply 1.0 L/ha in 200 L/ha of water at 2-8 leaf stage of the crop, 2 leaves to early tillering of the weed.
Control of Broad-leaved Weeds
Use : Apply at 1.0 L/ha in 200 L/ha water at 2-8 leaf stage of the crop, 2 to 6 leaves of the weeds (In order to give maximum control the weeds must be growing well and not under any form of stress).

FOLLOWING CROPS
In normal crop rotation, after ploughing, winter wheat, winter barley, winter rye and triticale can be sown. All other crops can be sown in the following spring. In case of plant-back situation (crop failure), maize and soybeans can be sown after ploughing.

MIXING AND SPRAYING
Preparation of the spray solution
Shake thoroughly the MILAGRO 40 OD container. Half fill the spray tank with clean water and begin agitation. Add the required quantity of MILAGRO 40 OD to the tank and complete filling. Continue agitation until spraying is completed.

Application
MILAGRO 40 OD must be applied using equipment which gives a good coverage of weeds (we recommend a spray quality MEDIUM as defined by BCPC and corresponding to a mean droplet size of 225 microns).
Do not spray MILAGRO 40 OD if any rainfall is expected in the next 6 hours.
MILAGRO 40 OD contains a sulfonylurea herbicide and it must not be applied in mixture or sequence with other sulfonylurea herbicides.

Tank cleaning procedure
Clean applicator thoroughly after using the following method:
(a) Drain tank completely then flush tank, boom and hoses with clean water. Drain again.
(b) Half fill the tank with clean water and add an ammonia based solution (All Clear Extra - 1L/200L water). Flush through boom and hoses, then allow to stand for 10 minutes with agitation. Drain completely.
(c) To remove traces of detergent, rinse the tank with clean water and flush through booms and hoses.
(d) Repeat step (b).
(e) Nozzles and filters must be removed and cleaned separately with the detergent solution at the same concentration as above.
(f) Any contamination on the outside of the spraying equipment should be removed by washing with clean water.
