6 GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

A foliar absorbed, translocated, post-emergent grass-selective herbicide with little residual action for controlling a wide range of grasses in broad leaved crops. It has little action on Poa and Vulpia species.

7 APPLICATION METHODS AND TIPS:

Best results in fine, mild weather when applied to young actively growing plants in moist soil and rain follows a day or two later.

Don't spray wet or dewy weeds. Avoid contaminating water bodies.

Use wetting agent on vegetables and for tank mixes.

Use methylated crop oils for broadacre crops or a mix of 0.1% wetting agent plus 1 % spray oil.

8 WEATHER:

Rainfast in 3 hours.

Frost effects: Frost more than a day after application has little effect. Frost before application may caused reduced weed control. Allow about a week for plants to recover after frost.

Wind: Apply when wind is away from adjacent grass crops.

Inversions: Do not apply in inversion conditions if grass crops are within 3 km of the treated area.

Temperature: High rates required at higher temperatures.

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

Poor control can be expected when applied at high temperatures under low humidity conditions.

Waterlogging and drought may lead to plant stress and poorer control.

9 ADJUVANTS:

Wetting agents: The recommended wetter is a non-ionic surfactant (1000 g active constituent/L) at 200mL per 100L of final spray volume or equivalent.

Spray oils: Use a methylated or ethylated seed crop oil (e.g. Hasten).

The label advises against using mineral oils and crop seed oil that is not methylated (e.g. Codacide, Synertrol).

A mixture of a non-ionic surfactant at 0.1% + a mineral spray oil at 1% v/v or Uptake or Supercharge is commonly used on broadacre crops.

On vegetable crops, use a surfactant only.

10 WATER QUALITY:

Hard water: OK

Salty water: OK

Colloids: OK

pH: Avoid highly alkaline water or add an acidifier.

Tank life: Several weeks in rainwater. It may be difficult to resuspend after 24 hours.

11 COMPATIBILITY:

Trace elements.

See HerbiGuide Compatibilities button.

12 EQUIPMENT:

Normally applied by a boom spray in 30-150 L/ha water using flat fan nozzles at 200-400 kPa and producing droplets of 150-300 micron VMD. Use lower droplet sizes if using low water volumes.

13 SPRAYER DECONTAMINATION:

If the sprayer has been used for sulfonyl urea (e.g. chlorsulfuron or metsulfuron) or hormone herbicides (e.g. 2,4-D or MCPA) then it needs to be thoroughly cleaned before using fluazifop on broad leaved crops. Use the decontamination procedure for the product last used.

Clean Up:

Remove filters and nozzles and manually clean separately. Rinse with soapy water or water plus wetting agent and run through boom. Rinse with water.

Decontamination:

Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately and allow to soak in a mixture of 500 mL chlorine bleach 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. 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.

Ensure equipment has been cleaned before moving on to spray cereal crops with other products.

14 HERBICIDE RESISTANCE:

Some populations of plants are resistant to quizalofop.

Resistance is expected to occur after repeated applications.

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:

Little direct effect of clay content, organic matter or pH.

20 MODE OF ACTION:

Acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase inhibitor.

Uptake and translocation:

Rapidly translocated from the foliage to the roots and growing points

Physiological effects:

Accumulates in the growing regions of stems and roots.

Residual Life and Breakdown:
