Safety Data Sheet

NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS
LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION.
WITHHOLDING PERIODS
GRAZING: DO NOT ALLOW STOCK TO GRAZE TREATED AREAS FOR 14 DAYS AFTER
APPLICATION.
CROP HARVEST: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Affinity Force Herbicide is an early post-emergence herbicide for the
control of certain broadleaf weeds in winter cereals and pyrethrum.
Affinity Force is a fast acting contact herbicide and controls weeds
through a process of membrane disruption. The foliar uptake of
Affinity
Force is rapid and plant desiccation can occur within 1 to 4 days of
application. Application of Affinity Force should target small
actively
growing weeds. Subsequent germinations will not be controlled.
Affinity
Force should always be tank mixed with MCPA amine in winter cereals.
SYMPTOMS
Affinity Force is rapidly absorbed through the foliage of plants.
Within a
few hours following application, the foliage of susceptible weeds show
signs of desiccation, and in subsequent days necrosis and death of the
plant. Due to environmental conditions and certain spray tank
additives,
some herbicidal symptoms may appear on the crop in the form of leaf
spotting. However, the crop recovers quickly, usually within two to
three weeks of treatment.
Extremes in environmental conditions eg. temperature and moisture,
soil conditions and/or cultural practices may affect the activity of
Affinity Force. Under warm moist conditions, herbicide symptoms may
be accelerated. While under very dry conditions, the expression of
herbicidal symptoms is delayed, and weeds hardened off by drought
are less susceptible to Affinity Force.
COMPATIBILITY
Winter cereals: Affinity Force should always be tank mixed with
formulations of MCPA AMINE (500 or 750g/L) eg. Thistle Killem
®
750 to broaden the weed control spectrum compared to either
product applied alone. Do not tank mix Affinity Force with MCPA LVE
formulations or ester formulations of other herbicides or with wetters
and oil adju
