FIRST AID
If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water.
If skin contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly.
If in eyes, hold eyes open, flood with water for at least 15 minutes and see a doctor
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Store in the closed, original container in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Do not contaminate seed, feed or foodstuff. Shake empty bag into spray tank until the bag is empty. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. Puncture or shred and bury empty containers in a local authority landfill. If no landfill is available, bury the containers below 500mm 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. Empty containers and product should not be burnt.
SAFETY DIRECTIONS
May irritate the nose and throat. Corrosive. Attacks the eyes and skin. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. If dust is present, wear disposable face mask covering mouth and nose. When opening the container and preparing the spray, wear elbow-length chemical resistant gloves and goggles. If applying by hand, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist and elbow-length chemical resistant gloves. If product on skin, immediately wash area with soap and water. If product in eyes, wash it out immediately with water. Wash hands after use. After each days use, wash gloves, goggles and contaminated clothing.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
RESTRAINTS: DO NOT disturb treated weeds by cultivation, sowing or grazing for 1 day after treatment of annual weeds and 7 days for perennial weeds.
DO NOT treat weeds under poor growing or dormant conditions such as occur in drought, water logging, 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.
DO NOT use prior to sowing tomatoes.

Reduction in pasture legume population may occur as a result of treatment. DO NOT apply to clover medic crops intended for seed or hay. Application in water volumes of 50 L/ha or less is preferred. |

APPLICATION CHECKLIST
• Do not treat weeds under poor growing or dormant conditions (such as occur in drought, waterlogging, disease, insect damage or following frosts) as reduced weed control may result. Reduced efficacy may also occur when treating weeds heavily covered with dust or silt.
• Do not add additional surfactant, or mix with any other agricultural chemicals, herbicide oils, or any other materials except as specifically directed on this label.
• Rainfall occurring up to 6 hrs after application may reduce effectiveness. Heavy rainfall within 2hrs after application may wash the chemical off the foliage and a repeat treatment may be required.
• Delay treatment of plants wet with dew or rain if water droplets run-off when plants are disturbed.
• DO not disturb treated weeds by cultivation, sowing or grazing for one day after treatment of annual weeds and 7 days for perennial weeds to ensure herbicide absorption.
• A Withholding Period for grazing stock is not required. However, it is recommended that grazing of treated plants be delayed (as recommended above) to ensure herbicide absorption. Certain plants such as: Soursob, St. Johns Wort & Bracken may be naturally toxic to stock. Where known toxic plants are present, grazing should be delayed until complete browning of treated plants has occurred.
• Where required the addition of non-ionic surfactant is recommended at a rate of 100mL of a 600g/L product (or equivalent) per 100 L spray solution.
PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS
Avoid contact with foliage, green stems or fruit of crops, desirable plants and trees, since severe injury or destruction may result. 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.
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS & ENVIRONMENT
DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. When controlling weeds near water, refer to label directions to minimise the entry of spray into the water.
READ THE LABEL BEFORE USING. USING THIS PRODUCT IN A MANNER THAT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE LABEL MAY BE AN OFFENCE. FOLLOW THE CODE OF PRACTICE FOR USING PLANT PROTECTION PRODUCTS.
