Depic 75-D Herbicide

Tips For Use

Restraints:

• Do not apply to crops or weeds that are not actively growing, or to plants stressed by extreme cold, moisture stress (waterlogged or drought-affected), or previous herbicide treatment.
• Do not spray if rain is likely within 4 hours (general use) or 6 hours (under spray drift instructions).
• Do not apply unless the wind speed is between 3 and 15 km/h at the application site.
• Do not apply under surface temperature inversion conditions. These conditions typically occur one to two hours before sunset and persist until one to two hours after sunrise.
• Do not apply if crop or weeds are stressed due to dry or excessively moist conditions.
• Do not move soil that has been sprayed to areas where desirable plants are to be grown.
• In some states, certain uses of this product are controlled by legislation. Check with your local Department of Agriculture or Primary Industries.
• Users must make an accurate written record of each spray application within 24 hours and retain those records for a minimum of 2 years.

Mixing Instructions:

• Mix only with water. This product will not mix with oil or diesel fuel.
• Quarter fill the spray tank, then add ingredients in this order: wettable powders or water dispersible granules; suspension concentrates (e.g. atrazine flowable); aqueous concentrates (including Conquest Depic 75-D Herbicide); emulsifiable concentrates; then surfactant or crop oil if directed.
• Maintain mechanical or bypass agitation in the spray tank during mixing and spraying.
• Do not add surfactants (such as BS-1000) or crop oils (such as Uptake Spraying Oil) unless specifically directed in the Directions for Use tables.

Cleaning Spray Equipment:

• After use, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose, then clean all tank, pump, line, and nozzle filters.
• To rinse: quarter fill the tank with clean water, circulate through pumps, lines, hoses, and nozzles, then drain. Repeat twice.
• To decontaminate before spraying sensitive crops: wash and rinse the system, then quarter fill with an alkali detergent solution (e.g. liquid Surf, OMO, or Drive at 500 mL per 100 L water) and circulate for at least 15 minutes. Do not use chlorine-based cleaners. Drain fully, then flush with clean water.

• Do not plant susceptible crops within 12 months of applying winter or summer cereal use rates. Cereal crops and grasses can be sown safely after treatment.
• Do not allow spray to drift onto susceptible crops. Apply only when the wind direction is away from sensitive areas and crops.
• Observe mandatory buffer zones for downwind aquatic and terrestrial sensitive areas as specified in the label buffer zone tables.
