Eye contact: Immediately flush with plenty of water. After initial flushing remove any contact lenses and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes. Keep eye wide open while rinsing. If symptoms persist, call a physician.

Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth. Drink plenty of water. Immediate medical attention is required.

Self-protection of first aider: Use personal protective equipment as required.

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) AND SUITABLE PROTECTIVE GLOVES when handling the concentrate.

WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE GLOVES when handling contaminated surfaces.

WASH ALL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING thoroughly after use, especially the insides of gloves.

WASH SPLASHES from skin immediately.

WASH HANDS AND EXPOSED SKIN before meals and after work.

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.

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

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

DO NOT spray cereals under-sown with grass or on barley or oats.

DO NOT spray crops which are under stress at the time of application, e.g. weather extremes (drought, water-logging, frost), pest or disease attack or nutrient deficiency.

Avoid spraying if rain is expected within one hour of application as efficacy may be reduced.

Avoid use in mixture or sequence with hormone containing herbicides.

Contract agents should be consulted before using on crops grown for seed.

If XING YU applied first, leave 7 days prior to hormone application.

If mecoprop-P or 2,4-DB applied first, leave 14 days prior to XING YU application.

If MCPA or 2,4-D applied first, leave 21 days prior to XING YU application.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

This product contains clodinafop-propargyl which is an ACCase inhibitor also classified by the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) as 'Group A'.

Use only as part of a resistance management strategy that includes cultural methods of control and does not use ACCase inhibitors as the sole chemical method of grass weed control. Applying a second product containing an ACCase inhibitor to a crop will increase the risk of resistance development; only use a second ACCase inhibitor to control different weeds at a different timing.

Always follow WRAG guidelines for preventing and managing herbicide resistant grass weeds.

Do not use XING YU or any other ACCase inhibitor as the sole means of grass weed control in successive crops.

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

To reduce the risk of developing resistance, applications should be made to young, actively growing weeds.

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

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

Only apply XING YU once per crop and do not use in mixture or sequence with any product containing clodinafop-propargyl.

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

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. Copies are available from the HGCA, CPA, your distributor, crop advisor or product manufacturer.

WEED CONTROL

Optimum weed control is best achieved when all the grass weeds have emerged and are actively growing under good conditions. If broad-leaved weeds are present it is advised to apply in mixture with a suitable broad-leaved herbicide.

XING YU may also be used for the control of black-grass as part of a blackgrass management strategy involving mixtures and sequences with herbicides or alternative modes of action.

①:For the control of Italian ryegrass always use as part of a weed control programme using other products against ryegrasses.

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION

XING YU can be safely used post-emergence on all varieties of wheat, including autumn drilled spring wheat, durum wheat, rye and triticale.

Timing

Wheat: apply from one true leaf stage to before flag leaf sheath extending stage of the crop.

Rye and triticale: apply from one true leaf stage to before 2nd node detectable stage of the crop.

Weed efficacy

XING YU is a contact herbicide with no residual activity.

All targeted grass weeds should be emerged and actively growing before application.

Apply XING YU in good growing conditions. Extreme conditions, such as dry or cold conditions, can impair growth of targeted weeds and therefore performance of XING YU.

XING YU does not control broad-leaved weeds.

Following Crops

CROP FAILURE: If a crop fails for any reason, any broad-leaved crop may be drilled. After 3 weeks any cereal crop may be drilled.

FOLLOWING NORMAL HARVEST: Any broad-leaved crop or cereal crop may be drilled.

APPLICATION

Mixing

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 XING YU. Mix thoroughly before adding the required quantity of adjuvant. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is complete.

Apply as a FINE or MEDIUM quality spray (as defined by BCPC). A spray pressure of 2-3 bar is recommended.

Do not use pre-orifice or air induction nozzles as efficacy maybe reduced.

Other specific restrictions:

1.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 sequence with any other product containing clodinafop-propargyl.

2.Do not spray if the rains are expected;

3.Do not use it in barely and oat field.

4.Safety to succeeding crops.

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.
