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
REFINE MAX SX must not be applied to any crop suffering from stress as a result of drought, water-logging, low temperature, pest or disease attack, nutrient deficiency, soil compaction or other factors reducing plant growth.
Do not use REFINE MAX SX on crops undersown with grasses, clover or other legumes or any other broad-leaved crop.
Because some non-target crops are highly sensitive to REFINE MAX SX, avoid damage by drift onto broad-leaved plants outside the target area, or onto ponds, waterways or ditches. Thorough cleansing of equipment is also very important - see separate section.
Crop failure: In the event of crop failure for any reason, sow only winter wheat within three months of application of REFINE MAX SX. Prior to sowing, soil should be ploughed and cultivated to a depth of at least 15-cm.
Do not apply within 7 days of rolling the crop.
Contract agents should be consulted before using on crops grown for seed.
Refer to ‘Compatibility’ for details on use of REFINE MAX SX with other ‘ALS inhibiting’ herbicides.

Soil
REFINE MAX SX can be used on all soil types. Weed control may be reduced when conditions are very dry.

Volume and application
BEFORE USING REFINE MAX SX, SPRAYING EQUIPMENT MUST BE CLEAN AND FREE FROM CONTAMINATION WITH OTHER PESTICIDES. Application should be made in 200 litres of water per hectare using suitable ground equipment to give good spray cover of the weeds. In thick crops or dense weeds use higher volumes of water (up to 400 litres of water/ha) to ensure good spray cover of the weeds. Use a conventional field crop sprayer at a pressure of 2 - 3 bars and apply as a MEDIUM spray (as defined by BCPC). Care should be taken not to overlap spray swaths.

Mixing
Quarter fill the spray tank with clean water, start the agitation and add the required quantity of REFINE MAX SX directly to the tank without prior creaming. Continue agitation while topping up the tank and while spraying.

Compatibility
To widen the spectrum of activity and improve the control of some weeds, REFINE MAX SX may be applied with other herbicides, provided each product can be applied within the label recommendations for its use. Always add REFINE MAX SX to the spray tank first when using in tank-mix. The following ‘joint application’ with other sulfonylurea and ‘ALS inhibiting’ herbicides may be applied to a crop. Requirements and restrictions on other product labels must be adhered to. ‘Joint application’ is the use of REFINE MAX SX in tank mixture or sequence with one of the products listed below.
