4 CHEMICAL GROUP: I.

Maximum tank storage time - 1 week.

2.	Concentration of Active Constituent : 200 g/L Fluroxypyr (Present as the methyl heptyl ester)
3.	Formulation : Emulsifiable Concentrate
4.	Poison Schedule : Exempt from scheduling.
5.	Trade name : Starane 200 Herbicide - DowElanco.
6.	Product Colour : Dark brown liquid.
7.	Product Flammability : Non-flammable.
8.	Dangerous Goods Class : Non dangerous good.
9.	Shelf Life : 24 months (2 years)

(When stored under ideal conditions - refer page 4)

12.	Effect of Soil Texture on Herbicide : Starane does not have a long half life in soil (45-55 days). Texture does affect leaching - in general Starane shows only limited capacity to leach.
13.	Effect of Soil pH on Herbicide : Does not have affect soil residual.
14.	Effect of Soil Organic Matter on Herbicide : Starane tends to have a shorter half life in organic soils (45 days).
15.	Mode of Action : Foliar translocation, minor root absorption. Systemic in action.

Post-emergent.

19.	Crop Damage (Crop Tolerance) : With wheat Starane alone could be applied safely at almost any growth stage. Label states 4 full leaves to first node. European data suggests Zadok's 12 to 39 for winter wheat; and Z 12 to 31 for spring wheat, barley, rye, triticale and oats.
20.	Effect on Crop : None on wheat. Highly selective.

21a. Effect on Clover Species : Will damage clovers if sprayed.

21b. Effect on Medic Species : Will damage medic species if sprayed.

21c. Effect on Lucerne : Established plants are tolerant of up to 375 mL/ha of product, damage is likely at higher rates and where growth is not reduced by grazing or cutting. Tolerance is greater in summer.

22.	Soil Moisture at Application :

DRY - General constraints state do not spray under extremely cold, hot or dry conditions.

MOIST - Avoid treating plants that are stressed.

WATERLOGGED - This condition causes plants to be stressed and failures can occur.

23.	Frost Effects : Crops and weeds should be allowed to recover following a frost, before applying Starane.
24.	Frost Free Days Required After Application : 2 days.
25.	Effect of Application Water Quality on Herbicide :

Saline Water - The formulation is made to be used in a range of hard to soft water conditions.

Soil Colloids - Not tested.

26.	Recommended Water Volume : 50 - 400 L/ha boom, 35 - 60 L/ha aircraft.
27.	Nozzle Type : 110 deg. flat fan, operating height 40 - 50 cm.
28.	Recommended Nozzle Pressure : 200 - 350 kPa (29 - 50.8 psi).
29.	Recommended Filter Size : 100 mesh.
30.	Recommended Wetter : Not necessary in most situations.
31.	Other Additives : Oils are used in some situations. Uptake and BS 1000 are compatible. Synertrol is not recommended.
32.	Rain Fastness : 1 hour.
33.	Time Interval Before Effect is Noticed : Epinasty (growth changes in which the upper surface of a leaf grows, thus bending the leaf downwards) occurs within hours, death can take several weeks.
35.	Effect of Herbicide/Disease Interaction on Crop : No data.
36.	Withholding Period : Do not graze failed crops and treated pastures or cut for stock food for 7 days after application. Do not spray poppies later than 70 days before harvest.
37.	Plant-Back Period :

For rates up to 750 mL/ha - 7 days for Chickpea, sunflower, sorghum, maize, wheat and barley.

Soybean - 14 days

Cotton - 28 days.

38.	Spray Tank Clean-Up : Rinse water should be discharged onto wasteland away from desirable plants and water courses.

Partial cleaning: (before spraying other labelled or tolerant crops)

*After using Starane 200, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, line, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the procedure twice.

Complete cleaning: (before spraying susceptible crops)

After using Starane 200, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate as above, then drain.

Quarter fill the tank again and add a liquid alkali detergent (eg Surf, Omo, Drive at 500mL/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes.

Drain, remove filters and nozzles and clean separately. Flush system with clean water.
