6 GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

A post emergent, foliar absorbed herbicide for control of broad leaved weeds in cereals.

7 APPLICATION METHODS AND TIPS:

Best results when applied in fine weather on young actively growing plants.
Avoid spraying if rain expected in 4 hours as poor weed control may occur.
Avoid spraying if heavy rain expected within 48 hours as crop damage may occur.
Use Uptake at 0.5% or other spray oil.
Use wetting agent if tank mixed with metsulfuron.
Allow a 5 m downwind buffer near water bodies and a 10 m downwind buffer near native vegetation.

8 WEATHER:

Rainfast in 4 hours. Heavy rain within 48 hours of application may lead to crop damage.
Frost effects:
Wind:
Inversions: Don't apply in inversion conditions as significant drift may occur.
Temperature: Not affected much by temperature.
Soil moisture at application: Best results when soil is moist.

9 ADJUVANTS:

Wetting agents: Use a non ionic wetter when tank mixed with metsulfuron.
Spray oils: Uptake® at 0.5% recommended on label. Other good quality spray oils also appear to be adequate.

10 WATER QUALITY:

Hard water: May cause separation of the active ingredients (do a jar test).
Salty water: May cause separation of the active ingredients (do a jar test).
Colloids:
pH:
Tank life:

11 COMPATIBILITY:

Trace elements. Some chemicals (acids, bases and oxidisers) may cause phase separation (do a jar test).
See HerbiGuide Compatibilities button.

12 EQUIPMENT:

Boom sprays:

Carrier volume: 50-100 L/ha. Use at least 80 L/ha if applying as a coarse spray.
Nozzles: Flat fan. Producing a medium quality spray (ASABE standard s-572).
Pressure: 150-400 kPa.

13 SPRAYER DECONTAMINATION:

Clean Up:
Clean soon after spraying to reduce the risk of forming dried deposits that may be difficult to remove.
Remove filters and clean separately. Rinse with soapy water (eg 500 mL or g of Drive, Dynamo, Omo or Surf per 100 L water) or water plus 0.25% wetting agent and run through boom. Rinse with water.
Decontamination:
Remove filters and clean then soak in 500 mL household ammonia in 10 L water for 30 minutes.
Rinse sprayer with soapy water (eg 500 mL or g of Drive, Dynamo, Omo or Surf per 100 L water) or water plus 0.25% wetting agent and run through boom. Fill with 1% solution of ammonia and allow to stand for several hours. Triple rinse with water. Or use a commercial spray tank and equipment cleaner.
Rinse nozzles and filters in water and replace.
Don't use chlorine based cleaners.

14 HERBICIDE RESISTANCE:

Tolerant plants are expected to occur and may dominate the weed population after repeated applications.

15 REPLANTING INTERVALS:

Bean; Faba	9 months
Chickpea	9 months
Clover	9 months
Lentil	9 months
Lucerne	9 months
Lupin	9 months
Medic	9 months
Pea; Field	9 months
All other crops	Can be grown in the following season.

16 WITHHOLDING PERIODS:

Crop	Type	Time
Barley	Grazing	7 days
Barley	Harvest	Not required
Oats	Grazing	7 days
Oats	Harvest	Not required
Triticale	Grazing	7 days
Triticale	Harvest	Not required
Wheat	Grazing	7 days
Wheat	Harvest	Not required

No restrictions on the use of straw. Doesn't bind to straw.

17 RE-ENTRY PERIOD:

Wear protective clothing if in contact with the crop before the spray has dried.

18 PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:

Overalls, boots and washable hat. Use gloves and face shield when handling the concentrate.

19 SOIL:

Soil texture: No specific effect.
Soil pH: Product may be more active on high pH (limestone) soils.
Soil organic matter: No specific effect.

20 MODE OF ACTION:

MCPA component disrupts plant cell growth. Florasulam inhibits the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme which inhibits fat or lipid synthesis.

Uptake and translocation:

Foliar absorbed. Some root absorption especially if heavy rain follows application and/or on alkaline soils. Translocated in phloem and xylem.

Physiological effects:

Residual Life and Breakdown:

Breakdown is mainly by microbial processes.
Rapidly metabolised in tolerant plants.

21 SELECTIVITY:

Tolerant plants rapidly metabolise florasulam which reduces the residue levels.

Crop tolerance:

Slight transient yellowing and some crop retardation may occur in Barley and Oats but this rarely affects grain yield. Symptoms are usually most evident 7-14 days after application.

Varietal sensitivities:

Effect on Clover Species:

Kills clovers.

Effect on Medic Species:

Kills medics.

Effect on Lucerne:

Kills seedling lucerne, damages established lucerne.

Effect on Native Plants:

Allow a 10 m downwind buffer near native vegetation.

22 DISEASE AND INSECT EFFECTS:

Crops affected by disease are more likely to be damaged.

23 PLANT SYMPTOMS:

Susceptible plants stop growing soon after application. Complete death may take several weeks and 4-6 weeks for some species.

SECONDARY EFFECTS:
