For control of a wide range of broadleaf weeds (especially for euphorbia helioscopia and alternanthera philoxeroides)in fallow, lucerne, maize, millets, pastures, poppies, sorghum, sugar cane, corn, rice and wheat field. Also for the control of woody weeds in agricultural non-Crop areas, commercial and industrial areas, forests, pastures and rights-of-way, as specified in the directions for use.
DANGER
1, Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
2, Harmful if swallowed.
3, Will irritate the eyes and skin.
4, Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
5, When preparing spray wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist and a washable hat, elbow-length PVC gloves and face shield or goggles.
6, After each day's use, wash gloves, face shield or goggles and contaminated clothing.
7, Wash hands after use.
FISRT AID
Inhalation: First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons Information Centre or a doctor.
Skin Contact: Wash gently and thoroughly with water (use non-abrasive soap if necessary) for 5 minutes or until chemical is removed.
Eye Contact: No effects expected. If irritation does occur, flush contaminated eye(s) with lukewarm, gently flowing water for 5 minutes or until the product is removed. Obtain medical advice if irritation becomes painful or lasts more than a few minutes. Take special care if exposed person is wearing contact lenses.
Ingestion: If swallowed, do NOT induce vomiting. Wash mouth with water and contact a Poisons Information Centre, or call a doctor.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
RESTRAINTS: DO NOT apply to plants which may be stressed (not actively growing) due to prolonged periods of extreme cold, moisture stress (waterlogged or drought affected), poor nutrition, presence of disease, or previous herbicide treatment as reduced levels of control may result.
Thorough coverage of both foliage and stems, to the point of runoff, is essential for high volume
applications (see GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS; APPLICATION METHODS WOODY WEED SITUATIONS
section).
DO NOT spray if rain is likely within one hour.
MIXING
XIAN XI may be mixed with water or diesel.
Mix only sufficient chemical for each days use and avoid storing.
Mixing in Water: Half fill the spray tank with water and add the required quantity of XIAN XI and complete filling. Agitate continuously to ensure thorough mixing before and during application.
Mixing in Diesel: Half fill the spray tank with diesel and add the required quantity of XIAN XI. Add the remainder of the diesel and agitate or shake to mix contents.
Tank mixtures: Wettable powder or dry flowable formulations (eg water dispersible granules) should be added to the spray tank first, followed by suspension concentrates (Flowables), water soluble salts and then emulsifiable concentrate formulations (XIAN XI). Add spraying oils and surfactants (wetters) last.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight.
Triple or preferably pressure rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycle or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture 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. Empty containers and product should not be burnt.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER
NON-TARGET PLANTS
Susceptible crops include but are not limited to clovers, cotton, fruit, hops, lupins, ornamentals, peas, pine trees, potatoes, navy beans, safflower, shade trees, soybeans, sunflower, tobacco. Tomatoes, vegetables, and vines.
XIAN XI can be damaging to Susceptible crops during growing and dormant periods. Grasses are normally unaffected by XIAN XI and establish quickly after Treatment. Transitory damage can occur on some species particularly those that spread by stolons such as couch grass (cynodon dactylon), Kikuyu grass and carpet grass (Axonopus sp.).
DO NOT allow spray to drift onto susceptible crops, Shade trees and Pinus spp.
DO NOT use under wetter conditions or from spraying equipment, which could be expected to cause spray to drift on to nearby susceptible plants.
PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK
DO NOT graze or cut treated crops for stock food except as specified under withholding periods.
Poisonous plants may become more palatable after spraying.
DO NOT allow stock to re-enter paddocks containing treated poisonous plants, until the plants have died down.
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH
CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT
DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers.
Alongside waterways, treat only noxious weeds and Poisonous plants.
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.
