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
‘Safari Lite WSB’ must not be applied to any crop suffering from stress as a result of drought, water-logging, low temperatures, pest or disease attack, nutrient or lime deficiency or other factors reducing crop growth.
Due to the high level of activity of the herbicide, special care must be taken to avoid damage by drift onto plants outside the target area, or onto surface waters or ditches.
Thorough cleansing of equipment is also very important - see below.
Do not apply more than four applications of products containing triflusulfuron methyl per crop.

Crops
‘Safari Lite WSB’ can be used on all varieties of sugar beet at the growth stages given below.

Timing
Application should be made when the first weeds have emerged and when the beet has reached the cotyledon stage. Subsequent applications of herbicides should be applied as new flushes of weeds emerge.

Volume and Application
BEFORE USING ‘Safari Lite WSB’, SPRAYING EQUIPMENT MUST BE CLEAN AND FREE FROM CONTAMINATION WITH OTHER PESTICIDES.
Overall Application
‘Safari Lite WSB’ should be applied overall in 80 - 150 litres of water per hectare, using suitable equipment to give a FINE spray, as defined by BCPC. Good, even spray cover of
the weeds is essential for best results. Care should be taken not to overlap spray swaths.
Band Application
Similar doses, water volumes and spray quality should be used as in overall application, but the area covered will be dependent upon the row spacing and bandwidth. Careful calibration is essential to achieve best results.
Dose
‘Safari Lite WSB’ should be applied at 280g/ha (1 water-soluble bag/ha) in conjunction with a suitable herbicide tank-mix partner (see Weed Susceptibility Table).

Soil Type
‘Safari Lite WSB’ can be used on all soil types except sands, stony or gravely soils and on soils with more than 10% organic matter. Weed control may be reduced when soil conditions are very dry.

Mixing
‘Safari Lite WSB’ mixes easily with water, but the following mixing procedure should be followed: Quarter-fill the spray tank with clean water and start agitation. Tear open foil
envelope and add the water-soluble bag directly to the spray tank and complete filling. Maintain agitation until spraying is completed. For mixing instructions with phenmedipham as a tank-mix partner, see Compatibility Section.
