3. Formulation : Liquid.
4. Poison Schedule : 5
8. Dangerous Goods Class :
9. Shelf Life : 60 months (5 years).
(When Stored under ideal conditions- Refer Page 4)
10. Mixtures Compatibility : Nu-Trazine, and atrazine suspension concentrates eg Gesaprim.
11. Registered Crop(s) : Wheat, Barley, Potatoes, Pinus Radiata, Vineyards, and Orchards.
12. Effect of Soil Texture on Herbicide : Do not use on sandy soils in cropping situations.
13. Effect of Soil pH on Herbicide : None.
14. Effect of Soil Organic Matter on Herbicide : None.
15. Mode of Action : Foliar translocation.
16. Application Timing : Wheat & Barley - Pre-planting, sow crop to a depth of 5 cm not less than 5 days after spraying.
17. Rate Variations : 2.8 to 5.6 L/ha.
18. Rates Selection : Lower rate where grasses are in the 2 to 3 leaf stage and up to 5 cm high. Higher rate where grasses are at 6 leaf stage and up to 10 cm high.
19. Weeds Controlled : Annual ryegrass, wild oats.
20. Effect on Crop : Not directly applied to crops (except potatoes).
21. Effect on Clover Species : Damaging, seriously affected.
22. Soil Moisture at Application :
DRY - Weed growth may not be sufficiently vigorous thereby reducing translocation.
MOIST - Ideal.
WATERLOGGED - Reduces results a little but very useful under these conditions as a replacement for cultivation which may be impractical.
23. Frost Effects : May delay or prevent translocation.
24. Frost Free Days Required After Application : 10 days.
26. Recommended Water Volume : Up to 2200 L/ha.
27. Nozzle Type : Most types suitable.
28. Recommended Nozzle Pressure :

30. Recommended Wetter : Non-ionic surfactants.
31. Other Additives : Nil.
32. Rain Fastness : Minimum 6 hours.
33. Time Interval Before Effect is Noticed : 14 - 21 days.
35. Effect of Herbicide/Disease Interaction on Crop :
36. Withholding Period : Wheat, barley and potatoes - Nil days, Vineyards / Orchards - 56 days.
37. Plant-Back Period : Usually 4 - 8 weeks.
38. Spray Tank Clean-Up : Nufarm tank and equipment cleaner.
39. Other Comments : Corrosive to aluminium, copper and iron. Amitrole is a non-selective herbicide with root and shoot absorption. It inhibits chlorophyll formation and regrowth from buds. Activity is enhanced by adding ammonium thiocyanate.
