Other specific restrictions:

To avoid the build up of resistance do not apply products containing an ACCase inhibitor herbicide more than twice to any crop.

In addition, do not use this product in mixture or in sequence with any other product containing Quizalofop-p-ethyl or Quizalofop-p-tefuryl.

Do not apply by hand held sprayers.

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.

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 CLOTHING (COVERALLS) AND SUITABLE PROTECTIVE GLOVES when handling the contaminated surfaces.

WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (COVERALLS) when applying by vehicle-mounted or trailed equipment.

TAKE OFF IMMEDIATELY all contaminated clothing.WASH HANDS AND EXPOSED SKIN before eating and drinking and after work.

If you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately (show the label where possible).

IN CASE OF CONTACT WITH EYES, RINSE IMMEDIATELY with plenty of water and seek medical advice.

WASH ANY CONTAMINATION from skin immediately.

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.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

KEEP IN ORIGINAL CONTAINER, tightly closed, in a safe place.

WASH OUT CONTAINER THOROUGHLY, empty washings into spray tank and dispose of safely.

DO NOT RE-USE CONTAINER FOR ANY PURPOSE.

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.

RESTRICTIONS OR WARNINGS

DO NOT apply when crop is under stress, such as in frosty weather or when frost is expected, insect attack, manganese deficiency, wind damage or where there is possible check from earlier pesticide treatments.

DO NOT hoe beet crops within 21 days of application as weed control may be reduced.

A period of at least twelve hours without rain should follow spraying otherwise weed control may be reduced.

CONSULT PROCESSORS BEFORE USING ON CROPS RECOMMENDED FOR PROCESSING.

AVOID DRIFT onto neighbouring crops, especially cereal crops.

In some situations 5% Quizalofop-P-ethyl EC may cause yellowing of the foliage of pea crops. This is usually outgrown quickly.

Extreme care must be taken to avoid spray drift on to non-crop plants outside of the target area.

RESISTANCE

Strains of some annual grasses e.g. blackgrass, wild oats and Italian ryegrass have developed resistance to herbicides which may lead to poor control. A strategy for preventing and managing herbicide resistant grass weeds should be adopted.

Guidelines have been produced by the Weed Resistance Action Group.

This product contains quizalofop-p-ethyl which is an ACCase inhibitor, also classified by the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee as 'Group A'.

• To reduce the risk of developing resistance, applications should be made to young, actively growing weeds. Use only as part of a resistance management strategy that includes:

• Use crop rotation and other cultural control measures to prevent and manage herbicide resistant grass weeds;

• Use of tank/product mixes or sequences of herbicides with different modes of action within individual crops, or successive crops;

• Use of grass weed herbicides with different modes of action throughout the cropping rotation;

• Monitoring of weed control effectiveness and investigation of any odd patches of poor grass weed control. If unexplained, contact your agronomist who may consider a resistance test appropriate;

• Do not use 5% Quizalofop-P-ethyl EC or any other ACCase inhibitor as the sole means of grass weed control in successive crops.

WEEDS CONTROLLED

For best results apply when weeds are actively growing. Weed foliage should be dry, but soil conditions damp to aid translocation up the weed. Weeds emerging after application will not be controlled.

Annual Grasses and Volunteer Cereals

Apply from when the weeds have 2 leaves to fully tillered stage.

Brome, sterile

Italian ryegrass

Perennial ryegrass (only controlled when grown

from seed)

Volunteer cereals

Wild oats

5% Quizalofop-P-ethyl EC can contribute to the control of blackgrass as part of a herbicide resistance management strategy, involving mixtures and sequences with herbicides of alternative modes of action. Where resistant biotypes are present, control from 5% Quizalofop-P-ethyl EC will be unacceptable.

Perennial Grasses

Apply from when the weeds have 4-6 leaves to first node detectable stage.

Common couch

The effects of 5% Quizalofop-P-ethyl EC on long term control of perennial weeds (i.e. in succeeding crops) has not been fully investigated.

The table below shows the rates of use required in each crop to control the weeds listed above:

1. Common couch is only moderately susceptible to 1.25 L/ha dose

2. In severe infestations of common couch, a follow-up treatment with a different herbicide may be required if fresh growth occurs

3. Winter oilseed rape only

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION

All varieties of beet crops, oilseed rape, potatoes, linseed, field beans peanuts and peas may be safely treated.

If application is made in sequence with other herbicides the following application intervals must be noted; Beet crops; 3 days, Oilseed rape; 14 days; Others 21 days.

FOLLOWING CROPS

CROP FAILURE: If a crop fails for any reason, only re-drill with the following crops, observing the interval specified between application and re-drilling.

*Onions, leeks and maize: do not drill as a following crop in a crop failure situation.

MIXING AND SPRAYING

5% Quizalofop-P-ethyl EC should be applied as a FINE or MEDIUM spray (as defined by BCPC) in 200-300 litres water per hectare.

Use the higher rate where crop and/or weed is dense and wild oats are present. It is essential to get good coverage of the weeds to get good control.

Ensure the sprayer is clean and in good working order. Calibrate according to sprayer manufacturers' recommendations.

Half-fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required quantity of 5% Quizalofop-P-ethyl EC. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is complete.

RINSE CONTAINER THOROUGHLY by using an integrated pressure rinsing device or manually rinsing three times. Add washings to sprayer at time of filling and dispose of container safely.

Wash out the sprayer thoroughly after use by rinsing three times with water.
