AGRITONE 750

APVMA Code :60505 Active Constituent(s): 750g/LMCPA(present as dimethylamine salt)

Registered For Commercial Use Domestic Use Overview For the selective control of broadleaf weeds in cereals, linseed, pastures, rice, sugar cane and turf. Chemical Group phenoxy acids General Instructions Weeds should be sprayed while actively growing and at their most susceptible stage. As a general guide, annuals should be sprayed when young and perennials just prior to appearance of bud stage. Extremes of cold or drought are unfavourable. The best conditions are when the soil is moist, weather fine and rain unlikely within 6 hours of application. Do NOT spray crops or weeds outside the stages indicated in 'Critical Comments' as damage, loss of yield or inadequate weed control may result. DO NOT spray in high winds. Application/Mixing This product mixes readily with water. Half fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required amount of product. Agitate thoroughly before adding the remaining water. BOOM SPRAYING - Use 30-120 litres water per hectare. - Use minimum of 170 litres water per hectare for LINSEED. AERIAL SPRAYING - Use 10-90 litres water per hectare. Equipment Maintenance & Usage Equipment that has been used for this chemical should not be used for the application of other materials to sensitive plants unless it has been cleaned with Spraymate Tank & Equipment Cleaner or well washed out with a 2% solution of cloudy ammonia followed by several clear water rinses. Compatibility This product can be tank mixed with Agility, Ally/Associate, Kamba, Bromicide, Flowable Diuron, Archer, Sertin, Sprayseed, Flowable Terbutryn, Tordon and Tribunil. The effectiveness of Imidan, Le Mat, Metasystox and Dimethoate may be reduced by alkaline hydrolysis if tank mixed with this product. For these situations the addition of Spraymate LI-700 is recommended. When tank mixing add the required amount of compatible product (and surfactant if recommended) when the spray tank is nearly full and while continuously agitating. If left overnight, agitate thoroughly before spraying. Restraints DO NOT apply if crop or weeds are stressed due to dry or excessively moist conditions. DO NOT apply if rain is likely within 6 hours. Resistance Warning Nufarm Agritone 750 Selective Herbicide ('Agritone 750') is a member of the Phenoxys group of herbicides. Agritone 750 has the Disruptors of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management Agritone Agritone is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to Agritone 750 and other disruptors of plant cell growth 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 Agritone 750 or other disruptors of plant cell growth herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Nufarm Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Agritone 750 to control resistant weeds. Protection of wildlife, fish, crustaceans and environment DO NOT contaminate dams, rivers or streams with the product or used container. Protection of crop, native and other non-target plants DO NOT spray in high winds. Drift Warning: 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. Avoid spray drift onto susceptible crops such as cotton, tobacco, tomatoes, vines, fruit trees, vegetables, legume crops and pastures, oilseed crops and susceptible trees (eg. kurrajongs, belahs, eucalypts). Legume Tolerance: The use of MCPA (Agritone) is preferred to 2,4-D Amine (Amicide) or Ester (Estercide) in situations where legumes are undersown in the crop. NB: The tolerance of pasture legumes to applied product can vary with species, variety, growing conditions, stage of growth and companion crop cover. DO NOT spray cereal crops undersown with lucerne as damage may result. Safety Directions Harmful if swallowed. Attacks eyes. Will irritate the skin. When opening the container, preparing spray and using the prepared spray wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist and a washable hat, elbow-length PVC gloves and goggles. If product on skin, immediately wash area with soap and water. If product or spray in eyes, wash it out immediately with water.
