6 GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

A knock down and residual herbicide used in vegetables, ornamentals and as an additive to glyphosate and bipyridyl herbicides to increase the weed spectrum.

7 APPLICATION METHODS AND TIPS:

Incorporation or disturbance will reduce residual activity.

Add a wetting agent for increased knockdown effect on small, actively growing weeds.

8 WEATHER:

Rainfast in hours.

Frost effects:

Wind:

Inversions:

Temperature:

Delta T and relative humidity: Avoid application when Delta T is greater than

Soil moisture at a

9 ADJUVANTS:

Add a wetting agent for increased knockdown effect on small, actively growing weeds.

Spray oils with emulsifier such as D-C-Trate, Spray Plus, Uptake and Hasten at 1% of spray volume probably improve control more than wetting agents but should only be used for non selective applications.

10 WATER QUALITY:

Hard water - compatibility problems are often increased in hard water.

Colloids

pH

11 COMPATIBILITY:

Oxyfluorfen has limited compatibility with many products. The addition of Flo Rite may reduce incompatibility problems.

Add Oxyfluorfen to the mix, agitate, the add paraquat, diquat or Spray.Seed.

Add Surflan to the mix, agitate, then add Oxyfluorfen.

Companies recommend a minimum of 250 l/ha water and more for application to seedling weeds.

12 EQUIPMENT:

Boom sprays:

Carrier volume:

Nozzles: Flat fan.

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 nozzles and filters and clean separately. Triple 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. This procedure is sufficient for spraying in other cereals or non selective applications.

Decontamination:

Remove the nozzles and filters and clean separately and allow to soak in a mixture of 500 mL chlorine bleach (4%) per 10 L water for at least 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. Drain tank and flush with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes to remove all traces of liquid fertilisers or adjuvants containing ammonia, such as ammonium sulphate or ammonium nitrate, before adding chlorine bleach, because bleach and ammonia will react to release a toxic gas.

Fill tank with clean water and add 300 mL household chlorine (4%) bleach per 100 L water, flush through hoses and boom then stand for 15 minutes with agitation engaged, repeat. Rinse tank, hoses and boom thoroughly with clean water to remove traces of bleach.

Rinse filters and nozzles in water and replace.

Poison schedule 5 or 7 depending on the product formulation - Caution to Dangerous Poison categories..

Summary:

Some formulations of oxyfluorfen are some of the more toxic herbicides in general use. These are labelled S7 and have similar toxicity levels to many of the insecticides. Extra care should be exercised and protective clothing worn when using these products. Newer formulations are considerably less toxic.

Details:

Mammalian toxicity -

Acute oral LD50 - mg/kg (rats), [For comparison table salt is 3000 mg/kg]

Acute dermal LD50 - > 2000 mg/kg (rabbit) for oxyfluorfen however formulating agents are severe skin irritants.

Skin -

Eye -

Vapour inhalation - LC50 - > mg/L air (rat).

Chronic oral toxicity NOEL - ppm for two years.

Not mutagenic or teratogenic (i.e. does not cause cancer or reproductive problems).

Other Species -

Birds - toxicity.

Fish - toxicity LC50 > ppm.

Invertebrates - toxicity.

Bees - toxicity.

25 TOXICITY SYMPTOMS:

26 FIRST AID:

Contact a doctor.

If Swallowed: DO NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water.

If in Eyes: Flood eyes with water for 15 minutes if splashed in the eye.

27 ENVIRONMENTAL FATE:

It has a half life in soil of months.

It has an EPA classification for soil mobility that ranges from

Ground water contamination

Replanting intervals.

Accumulation in milk and tissues.
