Tips For Use

General Instructions:

• For best results, apply shortly before weed growth occurs to moist, well-prepared trash and clod-free soil. 
• Well-established weeds should be removed before applying the product. 
• Actively growing weeds up to about 10 cm in height may be controlled, but a wetting agent must be used.
• Do not cultivate soil surface after application as efficacy may be reduced and/or crop injury may result.
• For best results, sufficient moisture, either by rainfall or irrigation, is required within 3-4 days of treatment to carry the product into the soil. 
• With irrigation, thoroughly wet the entire area.
• Where rainfall is limited during the growth period, control of deep-rooted, hard-to-kill weeds will not be satisfactory.

Restraints:

• Do not allow spray to contact foliage or fruit of desirable plants.
• For best results, sufficient moisture, either by rainfall or irrigation, is required within 3-4 days of treatment to carry the product into the soil.

Precaution (Re-Entry Periods):

• After treating asparagus or pineapple, do not allow entry into treated areas for 14 days unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist over normal clothing and chemical-resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use. 
• After treating citrus, do not allow entry into treated areas for 3 days unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist over normal clothing and chemical-resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

Spray Drift Restraints:

• Specific definitions for terms used in this section of the label can be found at apvma.gov.au/spraydrift
• Do not allow bystanders to come into contact with the spray cloud.
• Do not apply in a manner that may cause an unacceptable impact on native vegetation, agricultural crops, landscaped gardens and aquaculture production or cause contamination of plant or livestock commodities outside the application site from spray drift. 
• Wherever possible, correctly use application equipment designed to reduce spray drift and apply when the wind direction is away from these sensitive areas.
• Do not apply unless the wind speed is between 3 and 20 kilometres per hour at the application site during the time of application.
• Do not apply if there are any hazardous surface temperature inversion conditions present at the application site during the time of application. 
• Surface temperature inversion conditions exist most evenings 1 to 2 hours before sunset and persist until 1 to 2 hours after sunrise.

Mixing and Application:

• Fill the spray tank no more than 50% full with clean water. 
• Before adding Renegade 800 WG, begin agitating vigorously and continue agitation during the entire mixing and spraying operation. 
• Pour the required amount of product steadily into the spray tank. 
• Allow vigorous bypass agitation to completely disperse the product.
• Do not dump the product into the spray tank all at once.
• After adding the required quantity of product and obtaining complete dispersion, continue to fill the tank to the desired level for spraying. 
• Thorough agitation of the spray liquid should continue during the entire spraying operation. 
• The spray solution should not be left standing in the tank overnight.

Large areas:

• Use a fixed boom sprayer or handgun. To prevent nozzle blockage, the strainer and nozzle screens should be 50 mesh or coarser. Always agitate in the spray tank to keep the material in suspension.
  • (a) Fixed Boom Sprayer: Use 1000-2000 L/ha water for industrial weed control. For selective weed control, use 250-450 L/ha at 200-300 kPa pressure.
  • (b) Handgun: Use 1000-2000 L/ha and 60-800 kPa pressure.

Small areas:

• Shake or stir frequently.

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

• Do not apply, drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants or where their roots may extend. Movement of soil from treated areas should be avoided because damage to off-target species may occur. 
• Do not spray under weather conditions or from sprayer equipment that may cause spray to drift over nearby susceptible plants or crops, cropping lands or pastures.
  • Asparagus: Do not apply to newly seeded asparagus, or to young plants during the first growing season after setting or to plants whose roots are exposed.
  • Citrus: Use with caution on light sandy soils as yellowing may occur. Treated area for asparagus and citrus – Do not replant any crops within three (3) years of the last application, as injury may occur.
  • Pineapples: Only pineapples can be replanted into the same area within the 3-year plan.
