6 GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

It is a broad spectrum, selective, residual herbicide mainly used in leguminous crops and pastures for both pre and post emergence applications. It is absorbed by the roots and leaves and translocated to inhibit the ALS synthase enzyme that is involved in the production of a number of essential amino acids.

7 APPLICATION METHODS AND TIPS:

Best results when applied to moist soil and rain follows a day or two later.

8 WEATHER:

Rainfast in 1 hour for post emergent applications. Pre emergent applications are rainfast immediately and can be applied in the rain.
Frost effects: Severe frosting or prolonged cold conditions may reduce the crops ability to metabolise Spinnaker, and transient crop effects may result.
Wind:
Inversions: Avoid application during low level inversions as excessive drift may occur.
Temperature:
Delta T and relative humidity: Avoid application when Delta T is greater than

9 ADJUVANTS:

Wetting agents: Use 200 mL BS 1000 or equivalent non ionic wetter for post emergent applications.
Spray oils: Not necessary but can be used if required by companion pesticides.
Ammonium sulphate at 2 kg per 100 L spray mix often improves efficacy of post emergent applications especially on summer weeds.

10 WATER QUALITY:

Hard water: Tolerant to normal hard water.
Colloids:
pH:
Tank life:

11 COMPATIBILITY:

Cyanazine, diflufenican, diquat, diuron, glyphosate, metribuzin, Spray Seed, pendimethalin, simazine, trifluralin, dimethoate, omethoate, endosulfan. Don't tank mix with post emergent grass selective herbicides. Do not apply these herbicides following use of spinnaker until grasses have resumed growing.
Trace elements.

12 EQUIPMENT:

Boom sprays:

Carrier volume: 50-100 L/ha water.
Nozzles: 110⁰ Flat fan.
Pressure: 150-400 kPa.
Droplet size: 200-250 micron VMD.
Filter Size : 100 mesh.

Aerial application:

Carrier volume: At least 20 L/ha air.
Nozzles: Use nozzles that deliver a droplet size of 230-280 microns VMD.

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 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.

14 HERBICIDE RESISTANCE:

Repeated applications are likely to lead to resistance in a number of grass and broadleaf species. This product will not control group B tolerant weeds.

*For Barley Triticale and Wheat in the following winter season - Don't apply pre emergence Spinnaker later than the end of June or post emergence Spinnaker later than the end of July. Do not use where rainfall from spraying to sowing is expected to be less than 300 mm. Do not use on soils of pH 5.5 or less where rainfall from spraying to sowing is less than 400 mm

16 WITHHOLDING PERIODS:

Crop	Type	Time
All	Grazing	14 days
All	Harvest	Not required

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:

Acid soils tend to have greater absorption of imazethapyr which increases it persistence in the soil. On high pH soils imazethapyr has greater initial soil activity and lower pre emergence rates are effective..
As organic matter and clay content increases the proportion of Spinnaker absorbed to the soil increases.
Soil moisture: Moisture content is the most important factor influencing absorption of Spinnaker. As soil begins to dry, the amount of Spinnaker in soil solution will decrease, thereby making it unavailable to the plant for uptake.
In dry soil Spinnaker will be bound to soil particles making it unavailable for plant uptake. Best results in moist soils. Under waterlogged conditions plants may become stressed and crop damage may occur.

20 MODE OF ACTION:

It inhibits the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme which inhibits the production of several essential amino acids.

Uptake and translocation:

Absorbed by roots and shoots and translocated throughout the plant.

Physiological effects:

Residual Life and Breakdown:

21 SELECTIVITY:

A number of leguminous crops and pastures are tolerant to imazethapyr. Several crops including Wheat, Canola and Maize have been bred that are tolerant to the herbicide.

Crop tolerance:

Usually has good crop selectivity. Short term crop effects can be seen where environmental or nutritional stress affect the crop. This product may cause slight shortening plant internodes but plants soon recover and yield is unaffected. This effect may be more pronounced where it is used post emergence or under poor growth conditions.
Chickpeas may show transient yellowing or reddening.

Varietal sensitivities:

Do not use pre emergence on Collegian, Prussian Blue or Cressy field peas. Do not use this product post emergence on field peas other than Alma, Dun, Dundale, Early Dun and Wirrega.
Do not use post emergence on Faba Beans or Mung Beans.
Do Not use pre emergence on soy beans other than Davis, Dragon and Forrest and post emergence on other than Davis and Forrest.

Effect on Clover Species:

Clovers are more tolerant than medics, and post emergent applications are more suitable than pre emergence applications.

Effect on Medic Species:

Tolerance may be marginal on some varieties.

Effect on Lucerne:

Registered for use on seedling lucerne as a post emergence application after the crop has developed to at least the first trifoliate leaf stage.

Effect on Native Plants:

22 DISEASE AND INSECT EFFECTS:

Not recommended if crop is severely diseased.

23 PLANT SYMPTOMS:

Purple and yellow young growth, death of the growing points, stunting.
Depends on weed species and the available soil moisture. May be as soon as 10 days post application for sensitive species. Complete death may take several weeks.
After pre emergence applications, susceptible weeds may emerge, however normal growth stops early in the weeds development. The first sign of activity is purple discolouration or a chlorosis of the youngest leaves, leading to necrotic growing points and stunted growth or death. On several weed species, stunting is the major symptom.
