Nufarm Factor Herbicide

Tips For Use

Method Of Application:

• Good spray coverage is essential for maximum results.
• Spray equipment must be checked and calibrated accurately before application.

Broadacre Use:

• Water volumes per hectare will depend on nozzle selection and ground speed but should be 50 – 100 L/ha. 
• Use higher volumes of spray (min 85 L/ha) to achieve better coverage of dense, vigorous weed  infestations and/or if the nozzles used produce coarser than a fine spray quality (measured with water).

Aerial Application:

• The product may be applied through boom or Micronair units in 20 – 30 L of water per hectare. 
• The use of the higher volume is preferred due to more reliable results.

Restraints: 

• Do not treat weeds that are not actively growing or are growing under stress. Under such circumstances, the biological processes of the weeds slow down, and Factor transport in the weed can be drastically reduced, resulting in an incomplete kill or suppression of the weeds.
• Do not apply to crops or weeds which are suffering moisture stress (waterlogged or drought-affected), insect, disease or nutritional disorders, under conditions of prolonged high temperatures or frost affected (or if frosts are imminent) or stress from previous herbicide or foliar fertiliser treatment.
• Do not apply to annual grass weeds after mid-tillering.
• Do not apply at the flowering stage of weeds.
• Do not apply at the flowering stage of the crop.

Protection Of Crops, Native And Other Non-Target Plants;

• Do not apply under weather conditions or from spraying equipment which may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures.
• Do not plant cereal crops for a period of 4 weeks after application of Nufarm Factor.

Protection Of Wildlife, Fish, Crustaceans And Environment;

• Highly toxic to algae and aquatic plants. 
• Do not contaminate dams, rivers or streams with the chemical or used containers.

Storage:

• Store in the closed, original container in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight.
