GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

All Applications

Reduce the incidence of "fines" by using the correct nozzles and operating pressures. Replace worn or old nozzles and calibrate equipment on a regular basis.

Fallow Application

Furnace Herbicide can be applied in farrow prior to the planting of various crops as outlined in the Fallow Crops table. Furnace Herbicide is a pre-emergence herbicide, which is recommended to provide short term (6 to 12 weeks) pre-emergence control of summer germinating grasses and broadleaf weeds in cultivated or uncultivated fallow. A green weed cover of greater than 50% will significantly reduce the lenght of pre-emergence weed control.

Sugarcane Application

Pre-emergence

Where possible, apply to soil two days prior to incorporation. Incorporate with adequate irrigation or rainfall to a minimum depth of 5cm. Incorporation by flood irrigation may result in loss of weed control. Furnace Herbicide should be applied to plant or ratoon cane before the cane has emerged. When applying Furnace Herbicide in moist conditions, allow weeds to germinate prior to application and apply mixed with an appropriate knockdown herbicide. Whenever emerged weeds are present, Furnace Herbicide should be mixed with an appropriate knockdown herbicide.

Post-emergence

Furnace Herbicide MUST always be mixed with registered rates of paraquat and applied as a carefully directed inter-row spray to weeds and at the base of the sugarcane stalks, minimizing spray contact with sugercane foliage. DO NOT add crop oil to this mixture. Other surfactant or adjuvant is not required.

Peanut Application

Pre-emergence

Apply to soil and incorporate with adequate irrigation or rainfall to a minimum depth of 5cm.

Post-emergence

Furnace Herbicide must always be mixed with an adjuvant as directed in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE section of the label.

Soil Type

Pre-emergence weed control with Furnace Herbicide can be limited when applied onto soils with pH <5.0 and/or which contain high concentrations of iron (Fe) and/or aluminium (Al). These situations are common in soil types such as Krasnozems and red brown Ferrosols.

MIXING

Furnace Herbicide is an aqueous solution. Part fill the spray tank with water, then with agitator running, add the required amount of product, then fill the tank with water. When tank mixing this product with other recommended compatible products, first add the other product to the tank and mix thoroughly before adding this product. For post-emergence applications in peanuts, add adjuvant after the addition of Furnace Herbicide to the tank.

No adjuvants or surfactants are required when Furnace Herbicide is used alone for pre-emergence weed control or with paraquat. DO NOT add crop oil when applied post-emergence with paraquat.

APPLICATION

DO NOT apply by aircraft.

Fallow Application

Apply with boom equipment in not less than 50 L/ha water using flat fan nozzles.

Avoid overlap and do not overspray headlands.

Sugercane

Ensure thorough coverage of soil and weeds with well-calibrated spray equipment. Apply in a minimum of 200 L water/ha using a nozzle configuration to generate a medium to coarse spray pattern for pre-emergence applications or medium spray pattern for post-emergence applications. Replace worn or old nozzles and calibrate equipment on a regular basis.

Peanuts

Apply with boom equipment in not less than 50 L/ha water using flat fan nozzles.

Avoid overlap and do not overspray headlands. For post-emergence applications, Furnace Herbicide should be applied a minimum of 2 hours before rainfall,

EQUIPMENT CLEANUP

Thoroughly flush all spray equipment with water following the use of FURNACE HERBICIDE and before use with other products.

COMPATIBILITY

Furnace Herbicide is compatible with Ospray Pendimethalin 330, Stomp+ Xtra, atrazine, glyphosate, paraquat, paraquat + diquat, Ospray Metsulfuron, Ospray Triclopyr 600, Touchdown+ and 2,4-D.

It is NOT compatible with dicamba.

Crop Safety

This product may cause slight shortening of plant internodes and may in some circumstances lead to transient crop yellowing but plants soon recover and yield is unaffected. This effect may be more pronounced when the product is used post-emergence or under poor growth conditions.

DO NOT use this product pre-emergence on Collegian and Cressy Blue field pea varieties.

DO NOT use this product post-emergence on field pea varieties other than Alma, Dun, Dundale, Early Dun and Wirrega.

DO NOT use pre-emergence on serradella, seedling lucerne or subterranean clover.

DO NOT use post-emergence on chickpeas, faba beans or mung beans.

Should re-sowing of chickpeas, faba beans, field peas, lucerne, mung beans, peanuts, serradella, soybeans or subterranean clover by necessary, DO NOT apply JANITOR 700 WG HERBICIDE.

Following Crops

Under conditions which do not favour breakdown of this product, carry-over soil residues can affect susceptible follow crops. As environmental and agronomic factors make it impossible to eliminate all risks associated with the use of this product, rotational crop injury is always possible. The following minimum re-cropping intervals (months after application) should be observed.

Furthermore:

- In SA and WA, DO NOT use on soils of pH 5.5 (Ca Cl2) or less in areas where rainfall from spraying to sowing of cereals is expected to be below 400 mm.

- In NSW, Vic and SA, DO NOT use the 100 g/ha rate in areas where rainfall from spraying to sowing of cereals is expected to be below 400 mm.

If expected rainfall is not received following use of JANITOR 700 WG HERBICIDE, consult your local Ospray representative before planting wheat, barley or triticale. (In calculating rainfall actually received, exclude single isolated heavy summer and autumn falls above 100 mm).

RESTRAINTS

DO NOT apply to soils saturated with water.

DO NOT apply by aircraft.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING

Furnace Herbicide is a member of the Imidazolinone group of herbicides. The product has the inhibitors of acetolactate synthase (ALS) mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group B herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to this product and other Group B 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 weeds will not be controlled by this product or other Group B herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Ospray Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from failure of this product to control resistant weeds.

FOLLOW CROPS

Under conditions which do not favour breakdown of this product, carry-over soil residues can affect susceptible follow crops. As environmental and agronomic factors make it impossible to eliminate all risks associated with this product, rotational crop injury is always possible. The minimum re-cropping intervals (months after application) should be observed (see label for details and more information).

RE-ENTRY PERIOD FOR FURNACE HERBICIDE PLUS STOMP Xtra

When tank-mixing Furnace Herbicide with STOMP Xtra, DO NOT allow entry into treated areas for 12 hours. When prior entry is necessary, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day's use.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS

DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures.

DO NOT spray within 50 m of wetlands or waterways.

CROP SAFETY

This product may, in some circumstances, lead to transient crop yellowing and temporary slowing of growth in sugarcane but plants soon recover and yield is unaffected. This effect may be more pronounced when the product is used under conditions where soil moisture is high within 2 days  following application and on light/sandy soil. Contact Ospray Pty Ltd for advice on variety susceptibility before using this product.

 PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT

DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical used containers.

SAFETY DIRECTIONS

Will irritate the eyes. Avoid contact with eyes. When opening the container and preparing spray, wear elbow-length PVC gloves.  Wash hands after use. After each day's use, wash gloves.

When tank-mixing with Ospray Pendimethalin 330EC, Stomp Xtra or Ospray Paraquat 250, consult also the safety directions for those products.

STORAGE

Keep out of reach of children.

Store in the closed, original container in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight.

DISPOSAL

This container can be recycled if it is clean, dry, free of visible residues and has the drumMUSTER logo visible.

Triple or preferably pressure rinse containers before disposal. Dispose of rinsate by adding it to the spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on-site.

APVMA Code :61143 Active Constituent(s): 500g/Latrazine

Registered For Commercial Use Domestic Use Overview Controls weeds and grasses in sorghum, maize, sugarcane, lupins, TT-canola and other crops. Chemical Group triazine General Instructions ATRAZINE 500 is a pre- and post-emergent herbicide which will selectively control: - weeds and grasses in sorghum, maize, sweet corn, sugar cane, lupins, broom millet, saccaline and forage sorghum - mintweed in established lucerne - Brome Grass in sirocco phalaris, demeter fescue and currie cocksfoot grass seed crops - provide control of weeds and grasses growing on a fallow in a conservation tillage system. Established perennial species are not satisfactorily controlled at the rates recommended. Duration and effectiveness of control depends on the amount of chemical applied, soil type, rainfall and particular weed species. DO NOT apply more than 6 litres per hectare per year for all crops except forestry. DO NOT apply more than 9 litres per hectare per year in forestry situations in sandy soils and soils classed as highly erodible and not more than 16 litres per hectare per year for clay loams and heavier textured soils. Integrated Weed Management Strategy For TT-Canola The use of this product in TT-canola is subject to an Integrated Weed Management Strategy for the use of triazine herbicides in TT-canola. The Strategy encompasses: - Integrated Weed Management; - the specifi c management of crop plant volunteers and outcrossing to other plants; and - triazine herbicide residue management (agronomic and environment) Compliance with registered label directions and adoption of the principles outlined in the Strategy will assist with implementation of crop management practices that minimise the development of herbicide resistance in treated weeds; reduce the levels of triazine residues in the environment; and manage volunteer plants and outcrossing. Copies of the Strategy are available from a Ospray representative. It is advised that consultation be undertaken with an appropriate agronomist, consultant or Departmental adviser prior to the use of ATRAZINE 500 on TT-Canola. To minimize herbicide resistance: - Avoid dry sowing in heavily weed-infested paddocks. Wait for a weed germination after the opening rains in weedy paddocks. Use a pre-plant knockdown or cultivation. No weeds should be allowed to survive at this stage. - Adapt the weed control program to the anticipated weed spectrum and pressure: Broadleaf Weeds and Ryegrass: use (simazine 500 g/L) or (atrazine 500 g/L) plus trifl uralin pre-emergence. A follow-up with a Group A herbicide (if ryegrass is susceptible) or atrazine 500 g/L may be necessary. Broadleaf Weeds only: use atrazine 500 g/L post-emergence. - DO NOT use atrazine 500 g/L or simazine 500 g/L if the area to be treated had a triazine herbicide applied to it last season - Watch for escapes, especially in paddocks with a long history of Group C herbicide use. - DO NOT use Group C herbicides in consecutive years. Resistance Weed Reporting Growers should collect plant or seed samples where weeds that are normally susceptible to atrazine and simazine may be resistant, get them tested and seek professional advice. To avoid triazine carry-over: On acid soils (pH less than 6.5) - The maximum rate of atrazine 500 g/L or simazine 500 g/L or a combination of the two products to be applied to the crop during the growing season is 4 L/ha. On alkaline soils (pH greater than 6.5) - The maximum rate of atrazine 500 g/L or simazine 500 g/L or a combination of the two products to be applied to the crop during the growing season is 2 L/ha. Post-emergence use - It is recommended that atrazine 500 g/L only be used, and at rates of 2 L/ha or less, on both acid or alkaline soils. Mixing Settling may occur after storage for some weeks. Stir product or invert container several times before opening. Pour the product into the spray vat through a strainer to remove any dry particles or fl akes, which can occasionally occur under hot storage conditions. Add the full quantity of ATRAZINE 500 to the partly fi lled spray tank while agitating. Fill tank and agitate to ensure thorough mixing. Continue agitation while spraying. Agitate vigorously from the bottom if allowed to stand. Reseal partly used container immediately. DO NOT mix or load this product within 20 m of any well, sink or hole or intermittent perennial, stream or river. Application Ground application: application can be made as an overall or band treatment. Minimum band width should be 30 cm. Apply 50 to 100 litres total spray volume per hectare. Aircraft application: with aircraft application the need for good soil moisture at the time of application and follow up rain or irrigation within 10 days is most critical. Apply 20 to 30 litres total spray volume per hectare. DO NOT use human flaggers when applying by aircraft, unless protected by engineering controls such as enclosed cabs. TT-Canola: DO NOT apply to TT-canola by aircraft. Apply only with a low boom sprayer with a 60 m buffer zone downwind of treated fi elds to natural or impounded lakes or dams, and a 20 m buffer zone for any well, sink hole, intermittent or perennial stream. Apply only to areas where run-off is unlikely to occur or where run-off may be captured by farm earthworks. Timing TIME OF APPLICATION (sorghum, maize, broom millet, saccaline, sweet corn) Pre-plant or pre-emergence applications are preferred where grasses are the major problem. (a) Pre-plant application - followed by post-emergence application. Apply after establishment of the seedbed and up to two weeks prior to sowing. Application should preferably be made to moist soil and rain or irrigation should follow application. Mechanical incorporation may also assist. If using this technique on irrigated crops then a post-emergence spray must be applied as soon as possible after the crop has emerged and has developed 2 to 3 leaves. (b) At sowing application - followed by a post-emergence application. Apply at or immediately after planting and before crop and weeds emerge. Application should preferably be made to moist soil and rain or irrigation should follow application. Mechanical incorporation may also assist. If using this technique on irrigated crops then a post-emergence spray must be applied as soon as possible after the crop has emerged and has developed 2 to 3 leaves. (c) At sowing application. Apply at or immediately after planting and before crop and weeds emerge. Application should preferably be made to moist soil and rain or irrigation should follow application. Mechanical incorporation may also assist. Note: applying the total amount as a pre-emergent application increases the risk of crop damage. (d) Post-emergence application Application must be made to seedling broadleaf weeds and grasses when they are not more than 1 cm high. Normally the crop is then at the 2 to 3 leaf stage. For best results the soil should be moist and rain or irrigation should follow application. Add a non-ionic surfactant (100 %) at a rate of 135 mL per 100 L of spray solution, for all post- emergent applications in sorghum, broom millet and saccaline, and 5.5 L/ha of crop oil for maize and sweet corn. See Warning above. Incorporation: If applied to dry soil harrow to incorporate the product into the soil not more than 4 cm deep. Note: should weeds develop after a pre-plant or pre-emergence application a shallow cultivation may assist. Avoid deep cultivation which may throw untreated soil over the sprayed area, as this may seriously reduce weed control. Compatibility Compatible with glyphosate, atrazine, ametryn, diuron, Primatol† Z, dicamba, diquat/paraquat mixtures, hexazinone. In sugar cane only the addition of sodium 2,4-D will assist in short term suppression of Nutgrass and other sedges. Restraints DO NOT plant crops other than those recommended on this label for at least 6 months following treatments of this product at rates of up to 2.5 litres per hectare and for 18 months following treatments of 2.5 to 6.0 litres per hectare. DO NOT apply to waterlogged soil. DO NOT apply if heavy rains or storms that are likely to cause run-off are forecast within two days of application. DO NOT irrigate to the point of run-off for at least two days after application. DO NOT use as a pre-emergence application in sorghum, broom millet or saccaline during the wet season in the northern irrigation areas of Western Australia. DO NOT use a knapsack sprayer for application in eucalypts and Pinus radiata plantations. DO NOT use or apply this product post-emergence in triazine tolerant (TT) Canola on raised beds or where furrows have been created in soil for the purposes of holding or channeling water. DO NOT apply product to any drainage line. Drainage lines show evidence of the action of periodically fl owing water (for example, gravel, pebble, rock and sand bed, scour hole or nick point) and/or an incised channel at least 30 cm deep. DO NOT handle, mix, apply or conduct testing operations in areas susceptible to run-off where drainage results in rapid entry into waterways, particularly where no specifi c and effective action has been taken to prevent run-off into waterways. These areas may include areas mounded perpendicular to the contour, roads, access tracks, snig tracks, and compacted log dumps. Resistance Warning Ospray ATRAZINE 500 Flowable Herbicide is a member of the triazine group of herbicides and has the inhibitors of photosynthesis at photosystem II mode of action. For weed resistance management, this product is a Group C herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to ATRAZINE 500 and other Group C 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 ATRAZINE 500 or other Group C herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is diffi cult to detect prior to use, Ospray Pty. Ltd. accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of ATRAZINE 500 to control the resistant weeds. Advice as to strategies and alternative treatments that can be used should be obtained from your local supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, Primary Industries Department or a Ospray representative. Any incidents of resistance must be reported to Ospray Pty. Ltd. Protection of wildlife, fish, crustaceans and environment DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. This product is very highly toxic to algae and aquatic macrophytes. DO NOT apply this product within 60 m of natural or impounded lakes or dams. DO NOT use in channels or drains. DO NOT apply under meteorological conditions or from spraying equipment which could be expected to cause drift of this product or spray mix into adjacent areas, particularly wetlands, water bodies or watercourses. Protection of crop, native and other non-target plants DO NOT apply under weather conditions or from spraying equipment which may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures. DO NOT apply or drain or fl ush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants or on areas where their roots may extend or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. DO NOT plant crops other than those recommended on this label for at least 6 months following treatments at rates up to 2.5 litres per hectare and for 18 months following treatments of 2.5 to 6.0 litres per hectare. DO NOT use in channels or drains. DO NOT spray foliage of desirable plants. DO NOT apply high rates of application to heavier soils if roots of desirable shrubs and trees are near the surface. DO NOT use near newly planted shrubs, young ornamentals or species with shallow roots. DO NOT plant crops other than those recommended on this label for at least 6 months following treatments at rates up to 2.5 litres per hectare and for 18 months following treatments of 2.5 to 6.0 litres per hectare. Safety Directions Avoid contact with skin and eyes. DO NOT inhale spray mist. When preparing spray and using the prepared spray wear elbow-length PVC gloves. After use and before eating, drinking or smoking wash hands, arms and face thoroughly with soap and water. After each days use wash gloves. Storage Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Disposal 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 (contact drumMuster Collection agency or Local Council for collection sites). If not recycling, break, crush, or puncture and bury empty containers in a local authority landfi ll. If no landfi ll is available, bury the containers below 500 mm in a disposal pit specifi cally marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots. Empty containers and product should not be burnt. For refi llable containers, empty contents fully into application equipment. Close all valves and return to point of supply for refill or storage. Precautions Warning Sorghum, broom millet, saccaline Heavy rain immediately after application may result in excessive concentrations of herbicide in the seed furrow, encouraging crop injury. This is most likely to occur in pre-plant or pre- emergence applications using rates in excess of 3.6 L/ha. To avoid the likelihood of herbicide injury use techniques (a), (b) or (d) in the Time of application section. DO NOT use as a pre-emergence application in the wet season in the northern irrigation areas of Western Australia. When sowing is made on the fl at avoid application to ridged soil. Applying the total amount of product as a pre-emergence application will increase the risk of crop injury in the event of heavy rain after application. Maize, sweet corn For post-emergent application add crop oil at a rate of 5.5 L/ha if grass weeds are a problem. Ensure that the mixture is continually agitated. DO NOT apply mixtures of crop oil to stressed crops, inbred lines or breeding stock as injury may occur. If only broadleaf weeds are a problem, add 135 mL of 100% non-ionic surfactant per 100 L of spray mixture. Summer crops Heavy rains immediately following an application tend to result in excessive concentrations of herbicide in the seed furrow, thus encouraging possible crop injury. This is most likely to occur when a pre-plant or pre-emergence application is made using rates in excess of 3.6 litres per hectare. To avoid the likelihood of herbicide injury follow Time of Application (a), (b) or (d) listed below. Re-entry Period DO NOT enter treated areas without protective clothing until spray has dried.
