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 :
29.	Recommended Filter Size :
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.
