Ranga 240 SL Herbicide (Imazapic)

Tips For Use

General Instructions:

All Applications:

Reduce the incidence of “fines” by using the correct nozzles and operating pressures. Replace worn or old nozzles and calibrate equipment on a regular basis.

Fallow application:

This product is for use in fallow prior to the planting of various crops as outlined in the Directions for Use table.

Ranga 240 SL Herbicide is a pre-emergence herbicide which is recommended to provide short term (6-12 weeks) pre-emergence control of summer germinating grasses and broadleaf weeds in cultivated or uncultivated fallow. A green weed cover of greater than 50% will significantly reduce the length of pre-emergence weed control.

Sugarcane application:

Pre-emergence:

Where possible, apply to soil two days prior to incorporation. Incorporate with adequate irrigation or rainfall to a minimum depth of 5 em. Incorporation by flood irrigation may result in loss of weed control.  Ranga 240 SL Herbicide should be applied to plant or ratoon cane before the cane has emerged. When applying Ranga 240 SL Herbicide in moist conditions, allow weeds to germinate prior to

application and apply mixed with an appropriate knockdown herbicide. Whenever emerged weeds are present, Ranga 240 SL Herbicide should be mixed with an appropriate knockdown herbicide.

Post-emergence:

Ranga 240 SL Herbicide must always be mixed with registered rates of Paraquat and applied as a carefully directed inter-row spray to weeds and at the base of the sugarcane stalks, minimising spray contact with sugarcane foliage; Do not add crop oil to this mixture. Other surfactant or adjuvant is not required.

Peanut application:

Pre-emergence:

Apply to soil and incorporate with adequate irrigation or rainfall to a minimum depth of 5 em.

Post-emergence:

Ranga 240 SL Herbicide must always be mixed with an adjuvant as directed in the Directions for Use section of the label.

Soil Type:

Pre-emergence weed control with Ranga 240 SL Herbicide can be limited when applied onto soils with pH <5.0 and/or which contain high concentrations of iron (Fe) and/or aluminium (AI). These situations are common in soil types such as Krasnozems and red brown Ferrosols.

Mixing:

Ranga 240 SL Herbicide is an aqueous solution. Part fill the spray tank with water, then with agitator running, add the required amount of product, then fill the tank with water. When tank mixing this product with other recommended compatible products, first add the other product to the tank and mix thoroughly before adding this product. For post-emergence applications in peanuts, add adjuvant after the addition of Ranga 240 SL Herbicide to the tank.

No adjuvants or surfactants are required when Ranga 240 SL Herbicide is used alone for pre-emergence weed control or with Paraquat. Do not add crop oil when applied post-emergence with paraquat.
