DIRECTIONS FOR USE
RESTRAINTS
DO NOT spray plants which are water logged, under stress of any kind
or covered with soil or dust.
DO NOT spray plants covered with heavy dew, but rain following
spraying will not affect results.
DO NOT sow or cultivate for 1 hour after spraying but operations
should commence within 7 days.
FOR GROUND APPLICATION ONLY - DO NOT use through aircraft, misting
machines, knapsack sprayers, hand held ultra low volume controlled
droplet applicators
(CDA units), back-mounted equipment or other hand-held, manually
pumped equipment.

CROP USE OR
SITUATION
WEEDS CONTROLLED
STATE

CRITICAL COMMENTS
Aid to Cultivation
to minimise
cultivation and
prepare a clean
bed for sowing
Early Autumn sowing - Annual grass and
broadleaf weed control
All States
1.2-1.6 L/ha

Where cultivation follows spraying, it may commence one hour
after spraying but should be completed within 7 days. Where
heavy weed growth is present at spraying a better seed bed will
result if cultivation is delayed 3-5 days. Use the higher rates for
dense, more mature weed stands. Wild oats must have at least
two leaves. Where Reglone* is used the lower Shirquat® 250
rate should be sufficient to control dense mature weeds.
PASTURE: Remains of old pasture should be reduced by
continuous heavy grazing. Remove stock 3-5 days before
spraying to allow weeds to freshen up.
Winter, Spring and early Summer sowing -
Annual grass and broadleaf weed control
1.6-2.4 L/ha
Volunteer canola including Roundup Ready*
varieties and Canola hybrids with the
Optimum GLY® Herbicide tolerance trait.
1.8 L/ha (up to 4
leaf)
2.4 L/ha (up to 6
leaf)
Wild oats at 2-5 leaf stage in Autumn/Winter
600-800 mL/ha
Wild oats at 2-5 leaf stage in Spring/Summer
1.2-2 L/ha
Use higher rate for summer growth. Avoid spraying under hot,
dry conditions. Best results will be obtained when spraying is
carried out in the late evening.
