OzCrop Bromo MCPA Herbicide

Tips For Use

Restraints:

• Do not apply if weeds are wilted by dry or cold weather or if crops are at a susceptible stage, or if rain is likely within 4 hours.
• Do not apply if frosts are imminent.
• Do not apply to diseased or frost-affected crops or turf.

Mixing:

• To ensure even mixing, half-fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required amount of product.
• Agitate thoroughly, then add the remainder of the water.
• Agitate again before spraying commences.

Application:

• Do not use raindrop or air-induction nozzles, as coverage of weeds may not be adequate.

Boom Sprayer:

• Calibrate the machine before use to ensure that the correct application rate is obtained.
• Check the height of the boom above the crop to ensure that the spray is evenly distributed.
• Cereals: Apply 50-200 L of water per hectare. Use higher water volume (min. 100L/ha) where the weed infestation is heavy, the crop cover is dense or when tank-mixing with diclofop methyl. Complete coverage of weeds is essential.
• Linseed: Apply a minimum of 220 L of water per hectare.
• Turf: Apply a minimum of 500 L of water per hectare.

Aircraft (NSW, Vic, SA only)

• Apply a minimum of 22 L water per hectare or 30 L if tank-mixing with diclofop methyl.
• Markers should always move upwind before the aircraft passes overhead.
• Application by micron air equipment may give variable results.

Compatibility:

• This product is physically compatible in the spray tank with one of the following herbicides or insecticides in wheat and barley only: Metsulfuron methyl (600g/L), diclofop-methyl (500g/L), dicamba (500g/L), MCPA, dimethoate, omethoate or chlorpyrifos.

Grazing Precaution:

• Sprayed weeds may become more palatable to stock, and a higher intake of some weeds may result in stock poisoning and death from causes such as nitrate poisoning.
• Care should be taken, especially where capeweed, Paterson’s curse, and variegated thistles predominate in the pasture.
• Avoid grazing with young or breeding stock.
• Do not graze horses or pigs on Paterson’s curse.
• If in doubt, contact your nearest Department of Agriculture.

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

• Do not apply under weather conditions or from spraying equipment that may cause drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures.
• Avoid spray drift and vapour movement onto susceptible crops such as cotton, tobacco, tomatoes, vines, lupins, fruit trees and ornamentals.
• Do not apply by misting machines.
• Note: Maximum daily temperatures at or above 20°C at application or on days following treatment may result in seedling mortality, and established plants may be damaged.
