Directions for Use

Restraints

DO NOT disturb weeds by cultivation, sowing or grazing for 1 day after treatment of annual weeds and 7 days after treatment for perennial weeds.

DO NOT treat weeds under poor growing conditions or dormant conditions as occur in drought, waterlogging, disease, insect damage or following frost. Reduced control may also occur when treating weeds heavily covered with dust or silt. Rainfall occurring up to 6 hours after application may reduce effectiveness. Heavy rainfall within 2 hours of application may wash the chemical off the foliage and a repeat treatment may be required.

Annual Weeds Control (All States)

---

Perennial Weeds

• Add crystalline ammonium sulphate as per directions above.

The addition of oxyfluorfen at 75 mL/ha to recommended rates of this product prior to planting wheat or barley will improve knockdown and increase the speed at which weeds develop visible signs of phytotoxicity.

---

Insecticides:

Phosmet, methoate, chlorpyrifos, fenitrothion ULV and emulsifiable concentrates of dimethoate and fenitrothion. Other insecticides have not been tested.

---

Drift Warning:

DO NOT apply under meteorological conditions or from spraying equipment that could be expected to cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible plants, adjacent crops, crop lands or pastures. Equipment settings that produce fine droplets (150 micron or less), winds over 8 km/hr, inversion conditions, still air and hot dry days all contribute to drift.

---

Protection of Crops, Native and Other Non-target Plants:

DO NOT apply under meteorological conditions or from spraying equipment that could be expected to cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible plants, adjacent crops, crop lands or pastures. Avoid contact with foliage, green stems or fruit of crops, desirable plants and trees, since severe injury or destruction may result.

---

Protection of Wildlife, Fish, Crustaceans and Environment:

DO NOT contaminate dams, rivers or streams with the product or used container. When controlling weeds near water, refer to label directions to minimise the entry of spray into the water.

---

Protection of Livestock

There is no withholding period for grazing stock, but to give the product sufficient chance to be efficiently absorbed by sprayed vegetation, it is recommended that livestock be kept clear of treated annual weeds for one day after spraying and for perennial weeds 7 days.

For certain weeds known to be toxic to stock, it is advisable to keep livestock away until complete browning occurs.

---

Storage and Disposal:

Do not store the product in galvanised steel or unlined steel containers, as the product may react to produce hydrogen gas, which in turn could form a highly combustible gas that could explode if ignited by an open flame, spark, lit cigarette etc. Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Triple or preferably pressure rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush and puncture containers and deliver empty packaging for appropriate disposal to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant Local, State or Territory government regulations. DO NOT burn empty containers or product.

---

Low Volume Application:

(e.g. Gas Gun or Splatter Gun) Apply as an even spray to cover all foliage. Refer to weeds controlled for the dilution and volume of mixture to be applied. If the dilution rate is specified as 1:9 this equals one part product plus 9 parts water.

---

Controlled Droplet Application Equipment (Cda)

Use the following table as a guide for achieving the correct application rates using the Micron Herbi or similar equipment. See Weeds Controlled tables for specific rates and use recommendations. For hand held equipment a walking speed of approximately 1 m/sec (4 km/h) is recommended.

DO NOT add oils to Weedpro Bioaqua 360 Herbicide /water mixture, otherwise difficulty in application and reduced weed control may occur.

CAUTION: CDA equipment produces a fine spray pattern which is not easily visible. Ensure spray pattern or drift does not contact foliage or any other green tissue of desirable plants, since severe injury or destruction may result.

---

Sprayer Clean Up:

After use, clean all spray equipment thoroughly washing with clean water, in order to prevent corrosion to tanks, lines and nozzles. Aircraft used in application should be thoroughly washed with particular attention to wheels and landing gear.

---

Compatibility:

This product may be tank mixed with the following pesticides and additives. Read and follow all label directions, restraints, withholding periods, regional use restrictions and safety directions for the tank-mix products.

Additives:

Crystalline Ammonium Sulphate

Assists in minimising the antagonism in tank mixes of this product and flowable triazine herbicides. Use only crystalline ammonium sulphate not the prilled or granulated forms. To test the quality, dissolve 2 tablespoons in 2 litres of water and swirl gently for 2 minutes. If undissolved particles remain it is advisable to pre-dissolve the ammonium sulphate in the water prior to adding to the spray tank through a screen.

Herbicides:

Atrazine flowable* or granular (do not apply the tank mix for control of barnyard grass), 2,4-D ester, dicamba, chlorsulfuron, simazine flowable*, sulfometuron methyl, oryzalin/trifluralin, pendimethalin, metsulfuron methyl, oxyfluorfen, triasulfuron, LVE MCPA.

Application Equipment

High Volume Application:

(e.g. knapsack/handgun equipment) For maximum efficiency a D6 spray tip (Spraying Systems Australia P/L) or equivalent and an operating pressure of 400-700 kPa are recommended. As the product is translocated through contact points on the plant, good coverage is needed to maximise uptake by the plant. Volume used per given area will vary according to the density of the target species present.

Boom Equipment

Maximum efficiency can be achieved by using fan nozzles at a pressure of 240-280 kPa. Water volumes per hectare of treated area can vary depending on density of target species but no more than 200 L would be necessary. In conservation tillage situations volumes in the 50-100 L range would suffice.

Aerial Equipment

Using micronair and boom equipment a droplet size of 250-350 micron diameter is recommended. A swath width in the range of 15-17 metres is most appropriate for this form of spraying. Minimum spray volume would be 15 L/ha. When using this form of application give consideration to the fact that the product is highly non-selective and if desirable plants, trees etc. are in the vicinity of the area to be sprayed, they could be affected by drift or targeted contact. This would limit usage via this technique to such situations as weed control on fallows or pasture, control prior to establishment of crops or pasture. Another point to bear in mind is that on sloping terrain height above the ground may vary from point to point, and also at any given point, from boom tip to boom tip. It is also worth remembering that there is more land area on a hilly block than a flat block, even though the perimeter distance may be the same. In such situations increase the water volume to 30-80 L/ha and increase the droplet size to a minimum of 300 micron average size.

Note: In high temperatures and dry conditions, evaporation of droplets prior to reaching target species can occur and it is therefore important to increase water volume to at least 30 L/ha and average droplet size to 300 micron if temperatures are in excess of 25°C. DO NOT spray if temperature is above 30°C.

For Wiper Equipment:

For wiper equipment such as ropewick applicators etc., detailed information should be obtained from the manufacturers. As a general guide 500 mL of product should be mixed with 1 L of water. Weeds should ideally be 15 cm above the crop or pasture. One pass in each direction, commonly referred to as a "double pass" will maximise effectiveness. The lower the vehicle speed the better the result. Certainly no faster than 8 km/hr is recommended. Where weeds are variable height, or occur in clumps or in dense infestations, some plants may not be contacted by the herbicide solution and retreatment may be necessary. Mix only enough solution for immediate requirements. DO NOT store mixed solution for more than a couple of days. Rate: Mix 1 L of product with 2 L clean water to prepare a 33% solution. Refer to the Weeds Controlled section of the label for specific recommendations.

---

ionic surfactant or 250-500 mL of 700 g/L surfactant. DO NOT add spraying oils, agricultural chemicals or any other material except as directed on the label.

Organosilicone Penetrant

In certain situations (as indicated in the Directions for Use table) weed control may be enhanced by the addition of an organosilicone penetrant 200 mL/100 L spray solution.

Rainfall Effects

Heavy rain within 2 hours of spraying can mean that the chemical may be washed off the plant, with the result that the herbicide may not be totally effective. Re-spraying may be needed. Normal rain up to 6 hours after application may reduce the effectiveness. Adequate results may not be achieved if the product is applied when weeds are stressed by conditions such as drought conditions, water logging or frost.

Soil Persistance

This product is not persistent in soils and is rapidly broken down by microbes present in the soil, as well as by hydrolysis caused by free standing moisture or soil moisture that may be present in soil particles. Should residual activity be needed refer to the Compatibility section.

Resistant Weeds Warning

GROUP M HERBICIDE

Weedpro Bioaqua 360 Herbicide is a member of the Glycines group of herbicides. Weedpro Bioaqua 360 Herbicide has the inhibition of EPSP synthase mode of action. For weed resistance management Weedpro Bioaqua 360 Herbicide is a Group M herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Weedpro Bioaqua 360 Herbicide and other Group M herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by Weedpro Bioaqua 360 Herbicide or other Group M herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, PCT Holdings Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Weedpro Bioaqua 360 Herbicide to control resistant weeds.

General Instructions

Product Information

This product is translocated throughout the plant where it kills both foliage and roots. Ideally the best time to use this product is when target species are in a state of active growth, moderate climatic conditions are present and the plants are free of disease and dirt cover. While cool and cloudy conditions sometimes delay the appearance of chemical activity, it can generally be expected that symptoms of chemical effect will appear 2-7 days after spraying of annual species and 2-3 weeks after spraying of perennial species. The symptoms are demonstrated by a yellowing and accompanying wilting, progressing to a brown out.

Safety to Crops

DO NOT allow this product to come into contact with the foliage, fruit or green stems of desirable crops, plants or trees as the nature of this chemical is non-selective. Some useful guidelines that can help in this regard are:

1. Do not use if the wind is blowing towards desirable plants in close proximity.
2. Avoid fine droplet settings (150 micron or less) when calibrating.
3. Avoid spraying in winds greater than 8 km/hr, still air and hot days.

While the product is rapidly inactivated on contact with the soil, it is important that certain factors are kept in mind:

1. Where there is a light presence of unwanted vegetative matter sowing can commence from one day after spraying.
2. Where the plant cover is heavy it is better to allow vegetative matter to decay prior to sowing to allow formation of a satisfactory seedbed.

Spray Preparation

1. Make sure the tank is clean and residues from previous usage have been removed.
2. Half fill the tank with clean water bearing in mind that less than perfect results may occur if water containing soil particles or hard water containing calcium salt is used. Glyphosate may be inactivated by water which is contaminated with clay particles or soil.
3. Add the appropriate amount of product as per the Directions for Use Tables.
4. Mix well keeping filling hose below surface to avoid foaming.
5. Add water to fill vat.
6. Remove hose from tank as soon as full to prevent back siphoning.

DO NOT use mechanical agitators as they may cause excessive foaming. DO NOT add non-approved herbicides and insecticides. Use only plastic, plastic lined, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper or fibreglass containers or spray tanks. Galvanised steel or unlined steel containers or spray tanks can react with the product to produce hydrogen gas, which can form a combustible gas mixture which can be flashed by ignition sources.

Surfactant

The addition of surfactant may improve weed control where water rates are high or product rates are low. Suggested surfactant rates are 200 mL/100 L of 1000 g/L non-

Reduction in effectiveness may result if more than ¼ of the above ground portion of the weed is submerged at treatment. Submerging the treated plants following treatment may result in the spray being washed from the plant surface, thus reducing the effectiveness. DO NOT apply this product within 0.5 km of potable water intake in flowing water (i.e. rivers, streams etc.) or within 0.5 km of a potable intake in a standing body of water such as a lake, pond or reservoir. Applications to moving bodies should be made upstream, where possible to prevent concentration of this herbicide in water. When making bankside applications, DO NOT overspray more than 0.5 m into open water. Avoid spraying across moving bodies of water or where weeds do not exist. DO NOT ADD EXTRA SURFACTANT/WETTER, UNLESS IT IS APPROVED IN AQUATIC SITUATIONS. When spraying floating weeds, use a low volume, low pressure boom spray, CDA or sprinkler sprayer. DO NOT submerge the weeds when spraying as this may wash the herbicide off the leaves. When emerged infestations require the treatment of the total surface area of impounded water, treating the area in strips may avoid sudden impact on habitat.
