Broadstrike Herbicide

Tips For Use

Restraints:

• Do not apply to plants that may be stressed (not actively growing) due to prolonged periods of extreme temperature (less than 5°C or greater than 30°C), moisture stress (water-logged or drought-affected), poor nutrition, or previous herbicide treatment as reduced levels of control may result.
• Do not apply to plants that have suffered frosting for extended periods. Allow at least two days frost-free before treatment.
• Do not apply post-emergence treatments if rain is likely within 4 hours.
• Do not irrigate (any method) treated crop or pasture for 48 hours after application.

General Instructions:

• Broadstrike granules readily disperse in water and will do so once added to fast-moving water.
• Maintain agitation at all times, including during mixing as well as spraying. 
• Only mix sufficient spray solution for immediate use and avoid storing.

Mixing: 

• Spray rigs with pre-mix hoppers
  • For spray rigs with a dropdown chemical induction hopper, three-quarter fill this hopper with water and have the rinsing sprinkler operating. 
  • Add the Broadstrike granules and when they are dissolved, and the granules are dispersed, transfer this batch into the quarter-filled main tank.
  • Continue to rinse the hopper until the entire product has washed through.
• Spray rigs with limited bypass agitation
  • When Broadstrike is added to the spray tank for spray rigs with limited bypass agitation, then as for most granulated formulations, pre-disperse the Broadstrike in a bucket before adding them to the main tank.
  • Add Broadstrike while stirring until the granules have dispersed.

Tank mixes should follow this order:

• Quarter fill the spray tank and agitate.
• Add Broadstrike using the mixing procedure above.
• Add Verdict 520 if to be used.
• Half fill the spray tank.
• Add wettable powders, dry flowables, suspension concentrates, soluble liquids and/or emulsifiable concentrates.
• Add Uptake Spraying Oil when half full.
• Other adjuvants add according to their label.
• Add water to fill the spray tank.

Adjuvants:

• Broadstrike is compatible with Uptake Spraying Oil, Hasten Spray Adjuvant & BS-1000.

Application:

• Ground Application: Apply Broadstrike in 50 to 150 litres of water per hectare through a calibrated sprayer that delivers at least medium quality spray as defined by the ASAE Standard S572.
• Do not apply Broadstrike under conditions likely to cause drift onto waterways, susceptible crops, or land to be planted with susceptible crops. Unsuitable conditions are dead calm, excessive wind and/or small droplets.
• Best results are achieved where applications are made on warm (greater than 5ºC), sunny days applying more than 50 L/ha of total spray volume (preferably more than 75 L/ha), and spray coverage is maximised.

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; therefore, livestock should be kept out of the area until the plants have died down.

Protection Of Wildlife, Fish, Crustaceans And the Environment:

• Do not contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with chemicals or used containers.

Storage:

• Keep Out of Reach of Children.
• Store in the closed, original container in a securely locked, dry, cool, well-ventilated place, out of direct sunlight.
• Do not store near food, feedstuffs, fertilisers or seed.

Safety Directions:

• The product will irritate the eyes.
• When handling the granules, avoid contact with the eyes.
• If a product is in the eyes, wash it out immediately with water.
• Wash hands after use.

First Aid:

• If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone Australia 131 126.
