Nemo Surfactant

Tips For Use

General Instructions: 

• Nemo Surfactant can be used for the addition to products approved for use in aquatic situations (non-food crop uses only), and Agricultural Non-Crop areas, Commercial and Industrial  areas, Rights-of-Way, Fallow and Firebreaks.
• It increases herbicide activity by better wetting and absorption and improved spray coverage.
• Sub-par results will be achieved when target weeds are stressed (drought, frost, cold, disease and waterlogged), particularly drought stressed.

Mixing:

• Mix the glyphosate or diquat product with the total amount of water before adding the Nemo Surfactant
• Mix thoroughly. 
• If Nemo Aquatic Surfactant is added during filling, foaming may occur.

Application in Aquatic Areas:

• Do not apply this product when mixed with approved aquatic herbicides within 0.5 km up-stream of potable water intake in flowing water (i.e. river or stream, etc.) or within 0.5 km of a potable water intake in a standing body of water such as a lake, pond or reservoir.
• Applications to moving bodies of water should be made while travelling upstream wherever possible to prevent concentration of this product in water.
• When making any bankside applications, do not overspray more than 0.5 m into open water.
• Avoid spraying across moving bodies of water, or where weeds do not exist.
• When emerged infestations require treatment of the total surface area of impounded water, treating the area in strips may avoid sudden impact on habitat.
• Please Note: only glyphosate and diquat products approved for use in aquatic situations are to be used in aquatic situations with Nemo.

Application in Agricultural Non-Crop Areas, Commercial and Industrial Areas, Rights-of-Way, Fallow and Firebreaks

• Spray to the point where leaves and stems are just wet.
• Spraying beyond this will encourage runoff, with obvious loss of product and efficacy.
• When spraying waxy or hairy leafed plants which are normally hard to wet, increased activity will be obtained by increasing the rate of Nemo.
• It is important that the leaves and stems are thoroughly wetted for foliar herbicides to work efficiently, particularly when treating dense, tall vegetation.

Protection of Wildlife, Fish, Crustaceans and Environment
Avoid contaminating ponds, streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers.

When controlling weeds in aquatic situations, refer to label directions to minimise the entry of spray into the water.

Storage:

• Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. 
• Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight.

Safety Directions:

• Will damage eyes. 
• Avoid contact with the eyes. 
• When opening the container and preparing the spray wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and goggles. 
• Wash hands after use.

First Aid:

• If poisoning occurs contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone Australia 131 126.
• For further information, refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
