TerbaQuest 875WG Selective Herbicide

Tips For Use

General Instructions:

• Terbaquest 875 can be used to selectively control weeds in the crops listed in the directions for use table and on fallows prior to establishing crops as directed in the Fallows section below.
• When applied pre-emergence, the product is mainly absorbed via the roots. Weeds buried by cultivation may not be effectively controlled.
• Heavy rainfall on light soils may cause movement of the herbicide out of the weed seed zone, resulting in reduced weed control.
• Do not apply to recently burnt stubble/trash. After burning, rainfall or cultivation is required to allow Terbaquest 875 to reach the soil and not be irreversibly bound by ash.
• Terbaquest 875 is primarily incorporated by rainfall. Sufficient rainfall (20 to 30 mm either as rainfall or irrigation) to wet the soil through the weed root zone is necessary within 2 to 3 weeks of application to make the product effective.
• Weeds may germinate and emerge before being controlled by Terbaquest 875. However, a delay in rainfall for an extended period may result in weeds germinating from depth and surviving.
• Where the soil has a high potential for leaching, heavy rainfall between application and crop emergence may result in crop damage from the movement of herbicide into the crop seed zone.
• In flood or furrow irrigation situations, complete and continued activation of the product may not occur due to a thin band of dry soil on the surface during or after irrigation.
• Mechanical incorporation after application, using light harrows to incorporate the product into the soil not more than 4cm deep is required to ensure the irrigation water activates the product. Always apply the product to an even un-ridged seedbed.
• Dense weed populations and multiple germinations (especially Wild radish) may require both a pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicide treatment (only one being Terbaquest 875) to give acceptable control.

Restraints:

• Do not apply by air.
• Do not apply to waterlogged soil.
• Do not apply to fields where the slope exceeds 3%.
• Do not apply if heavy rains or storms that are likely to cause surface runoff are forecast within two days of application.
• Do not irrigate to the point of runoff for at least 2 days after application.
• Do not use as a pre-emergence application in sorghum during the wet season in the Northern Irrigation areas of Western Australia.
• Do not apply more than 1.2 kg/ha per crop.

Compatibility:

• This product is compatible with Acclaim Herbicide, Starane Advanced Herbicide, Strada Herbicide, Dual Gold Herbicide, Glisarin Spray Adjuvant, Wetter 1000 non-ionic surfactant, Uptake Spraying Oil, trifluralin, 2,4-D amine, Tordon 75D, glyphosate, Roundup Ready Herbicide with Plantshield by Monsanto, Panida Grande, paraquat and paraquat/diquat mixtures.
• Refer to the label of the knockdown herbicide for specific weeds by rate recommendations.

Mixing:

• Do not mix or load within 20m of any well, dam, intermittent or perennial stream. 
• Partially fill the spray tank with water and maintain agitation while adding the required quantity of Terbaquest 875.
• Agitation should continue after filling and during spraying. 
• If the spray is allowed to stand, agitate thoroughly before resuming spraying.

Application:

• Do not apply under weather conditions or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures.

Ground Application:

• Do not apply when wind speed is less than 3 and greater than 20 km/h or during weather conditions when surface temperature inversions can develop. 
• Apply by ground boom in a minimum of 50L/ha. 
• Use only Coarse spray quality according to ASAE S572 definition for standard nozzles.

Precautions: Re-Entry Period

• Do not allow entry into treated areas for 8 days. 
• When prior entry is necessary, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist over normal clothing and chemical-resistant gloves.
• Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

Protection Of Wildlife, Fish, Crustaceans And Environment:

• Very toxic to aquatic life. 
• Do not contaminate wetlands or watercourses with the product or used containers. 
• After application of Terbaquest 875, do not irrigate the crop to the point of run-off unless it can be retained on farm.
• TT canola: Do not use or apply this product post-emergence on raised beds or where furrows have been created in the soil for the purpose of holding or channelling water.
• Do not use in channels or drains.

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 on areas where their roots may extend or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. 
• Do not apply on sites where surface water from heavy rain can be expected to run off to areas containing, or to be planted with susceptible crops or plants. 
• Do not plant crops other than those recommended on this label for at least 6 months following the most recent application of up to 1.2 Kg per hectare. 
• Refer to the Crops information table for minimum rainfall or irrigation requirements.

Storage:

• Store in the closed, original container in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight.

• When opening the container, mixing and loading and preparing spray, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist and a washable hat, elbow length chemical-resistant gloves and a half face respirator with dust cartridge or canister. 
• When preparing the product for use by boom spray equipment, wear cotton overalls, over normal clothing, buttoned to the neck and wrist and a washable hat and elbow length chemical-resistant gloves and a half face respirator with dust cartridge or canister.
