Sabakem Oxyfluorfen 240EC Herbicide

Tips For Use

• For optimum residual weed control, Sabakem Oxyfluorfen 240EC Herbicide should be applied to the soil surface before weed emergence after all other agricultural operations have been completed, such as mechanical cultivation and reshaping of irrigation furrows.
• The area should be left undisturbed during the period of desired weed control.
• When applied to seedling weeds, they should be young and actively growing.
• Weed control for up to 6 months is expected by spot treatment, with knockdown herbicides, for escape weeds and perennial grasses may be necessary.

Application:

• Spray equipment should be calibrated carefully before use.
• Sabakem Oxyfluorfen 240EC Herbicide should be applied uniformly with an accurately calibrated, low-pressure herbicide sprayer as a directed treatment to the base of tree and vine crops using a flat fan or hollow cone nozzles.
• Complete coverage of seedling weeds is required for the maximum knockdown effect.
• Ensure both weed foliage and the soil surface are sprayed.
• Apply using a vehicle-mounted boom, and calibrate to deliver a droplet spectrum classification defined as ‘medium’ by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) Standard S572, using water volume of 250 to 500 litres per hectare for bare soil or 100 to 1,350 litres per hectare when seedling weeds (4 to 6 leaf) are treated.
• Use the higher volumes where weed density is high.
• Tank mixtures of 75 mL/ha of Sabakem Oxyfluorfen 240EC Herbicide with glyphosate herbicides should be applied in 30 to 200 litres spray volume per hectare.
• Sabakem Oxyfluorfen 240EC Herbicide should not be incorporated or disturbed after application for maximum residual control.

Compatibility:

• Sabakem Oxyfluorfen 240EC Herbicide is compatible with Glyphosate 450CT Herbicide, Paraquat, Oryzalin and Diquat.

Restraints:

• If applying to weed seedlings, do not disturb weeds by cultivation or sowing for one (1) day following application to annual weeds and seven (7) days for perennial weeds to ensure herbicide absorption unless specified in the critical comments.
