Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed treatment: Treat according to symptoms (decontamination, vital functions), no known specific antidote.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Operator protection

Engineering control of operator exposure must be used where reasonably practicable in addition to the following personal protective equipment:

WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (COVERALLS), SUITABLE PROTECTIVE GLOVES AND FACE PROTECTION (FACESHIELD) when handling the concentrate.

WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE GLOVES when handling contaminated surfaces and when applying by hand held equipment.

WHEN USING DO NOT EAT, DRINK OR SMOKE.

WASH CONCENTRATE from skin or eyes immediately.

AVOID ALL CONTACT BY MOUTH.

DO NOT BREATHE SPRAY.

WASH HANDS AND EXPOSED SKIN before meals and after work.

IF YOU FEEL UNWELL, seek medical advice immediately (show label where possible).

Environmental protection

Do not contaminate water with the product or its container. (Do not clean application equipment near surface water/Avoid contamination via drains from farmyards and roads). To protect aquatic organisms respect an unsprayed buffer zone to surface water bodies in line with local institute requirement.

DO NOT ALLOW DIRECT SPRAY from horizontal boom sprayers to fall within 5 m of the top of the bank of a static or flowing water body, unless a local institute permits a narrower buffer zone, or within 1m of the top of a ditch which is dry at the time of application. Aim spray away from water.

This product qualifies for inclusion within the local institute scheme. Before each spraying operation from a horizontal boom sprayer, either a local institute must be carried out in accordance with the published guidance or the statutory buffer zone must be maintained. The results of the local institute must be recorded and kept available for three years.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

FOR USE ONLY AS AN AGRICULTURAL/HORTICULTURAL HERBICIDE, as directed below:

READ THE LABEL BEFORE USE. 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.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.

A herbicide for the control of annual grass and broad-leaved weeds in a wide range of crops.

RESTRICTIONS/WARNINGS

Efficacy

Some soil moisture must be present for DAO HUA XIANG® to be activated. Best results will be obtained if rainfall occurs within seven days of application.

Residual control may be reduced:

- Under prolonged dry conditions

- On soils with a high Kd factor

- Where organic matter exceeds 6%

- Where ash content is high

Do not disturb the soil after DAO HUA XIANG® has been applied as this will result in reduced weed control.

Where cultural practices which encourage the build up of organic matter in the soil surface are practiced for a number of seasons the effectiveness of residual herbicides may be reduced. In such circumstances, periodic ploughing is recommended to disperse residues into a greater volume of soil.

Soil types

DAO HUA XIANG® may be used on all mineral soil types.

Do not use on soils with more than 10% organic matter.

On stony or gravely soils, crop damage could occur, particularly, if heavy rain follows treatment.

Do not use on water logged soil or soils prone to water logging.

Seedbed preparation

Trash and straw should be incorporated evenly during seedbed preparation.

Seedbed must have a fine, firm tilth.

Consolidate loose or cloddy seedbeds before use.

Following pre-emergence applications, unconsolidated clods (especially if larger than 7.5cm diameter) may reduce the level of weed control and cause seed to be inadequately covered, which could result in crop damage.

Crop safety

Extreme care must be taken to avoid spray drift onto plants outside of the target area.

Do not apply DAO HUA XIANG® to crops suffering from stress, which may be caused for example by pests, disease, water logging, poor seedbed

conditions or previous chemical treatment.

Seed should be covered with a minimum of 3.2cm of settled soil (2.5cm for Peas and Sunflowers, 5cm for maize).

Shallow drilled crops should be treated post-emergence.

Do not soil incorporate.

Do not spray undersown crops.

Do not undersow crops treated with DAO HUA XIANG®.

DAO HUA XIANG® should not be used on protected crops, or in greenhouses.

Other Restrictions/Warnings

Before using DAO HUA XIANG® on crops to be processed please consult your processor.

Concentrated or diluted DAO HUA XIANG® will stain. Avoid spillage.

Staining is minimised or completely removed if skin and clothes are washed immediately.

Hose down machinery immediately after use with a spray tank cleaner.

WEED CONTROL

Cereals

All weed susceptibility ratings in the table below are for applications made pre-emergence of the weeds.

S = Susceptible

MS = Moderately susceptible

(1) = Deep germinating Volunteer Oilseed Rape may not be controlled / =no data

2.2 Other crops

S = Susceptible

MS = Moderately susceptible

# = If application is followed by a period of dry conditions, or in situations where very heavy populations occur, a sequence of DAO HUA XIANG® and a product applied post-emergence may be necessary.

/ = no data

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION

DAO HUA XIANG® is recommended for use on all varieties of approved crops on any mineral soil except where indicated in the table below.

Winter wheat, durum wheat, winter barley

DAO HUA XIANG® applied alone

Winter rye, Triticale

DAO HUA XIANG® applied alone

Spring barley

Combining Peas

Sunflowers

Forage and Grain maize (including crops grown under temporary plastic mulch)

Strawberries (Maiden and Established crops)

Top Fruit – Apples, Cherries, Pears, Plums

FOLLOWING CROPS

Following crops after normal harvest

Before Rye grass is drilled after a very dry season, plough or cultivate to at least 15cm.

If spring crops are to be followed by crops other than cereals plough or cultivate to at least 15cm.

In the event of crop failure

In the event of crop failure the land must be ploughed or thoroughly cultivated to a minimum depth of 15cm to ensure any residues are evenly dispersed throughout the soil.

The minimum intervals (specified below) should elapse between application of DAO HUA XIANG® and the sowing of one of the following crops listed Below.

FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media: water spray, carbon dioxide, foam, dry powder

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides

The substances/groups of substances mentioned can be released in case of fire.

Advice for fire-fighters

Special protective equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.

Further information: Collect contaminated extinguishing water separately, do not allow to reach sewage or effluent systems. Dispose of fire debris and contaminated

extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations. In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Keep containers cool by spraying with water if exposed to fire.
