Maximising Performance:
- Apply with coarse or very course spray nozzles.
- Don’t tank mix with Zinc based materials.
- Don’t use with hard water or water clarified with Aluminium sulphate.
- Don’t graze or cut for stock food for 7 days following application.
- Avoid applications in high winds – Less than 15km / hour is desired.
- Avoid application if rain is likely to occur within 4 hours.
- Avoid application close to, or on areas, containing roots of desirable vegetation, where treated soil may be washed into areas growing, or to be planted with desirable plants.
- Avoid application to sites where surface water from heavy rain can be expected to run off to areas containing or planted with desirable plants.
- Picloram remains active in the soil for extended periods depending on the rate of application, soil type, rainfall, temperature, humidity, soil moisture and organic matter.
- When tank mixing with Triclopyr, don’t burn off, cut or clear blackberry or other woody weeds for at least 6 months after spraying.
- Avoid applications to pastures or crops which are to be used for the production of compost or mulches for use with desirable plants. The use of straw, hay or other plant material treated with Slinger 240 for composting or mulching may damage desirable plants.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
MINIMUM RECROPPING PERIODS
• Picloram remains active in the soil for extended periods depending on rate of application, soil type, rainfall, temperature, humidity, soil moisture and soil organic matter.
• Note: Before using SLINGER 240 in tank mixes with other herbicides, check the plant back period information on all product labels. The most residual product, ie the product with the longest plant back period, will determine the time between spraying and planting.
Northern New South Wales and Queensland
Plantback periods for rotational crops following application of SLINGER 240 at rates between 85-110 mL/ha on black cracking clay soils (Table below). These plantback periods are based on a normal rainfall pattern. During drought conditions (or when rainfall is less than 100 mm for a period of 4 months after application) the plantback period may be significantly longer.
Western Australia
DO NOT plant susceptible broadleaf crops within 12 months of applying the product. Cereal Crops and grasses can be sown safely after using the combination of SLINGER 240 and MCPA.
At rates greater than 110 mL/ha and other soil types other than black cracking clay soils
• DO NOT plant susceptible broadleaf crops within 12 months of applying the product. Summer cereal crops and grasses can be sown safely 2 months after using SLINGER 240 for in crop weed control. Wheat, barley and oats can be sown safely 4 months after using SLINGER 240 at rates up to 250 mL/ha.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS ----------
MIXING
SLINGER 240 should be mixed in water only. Mix only sufficient chemical for each days use and avoid storing mix. Half fill the spray tank with water and add the required quantity of SLINGER 240 and complete filling. Agitate continuously to ensure thorough mixing before and during application.
Tank mixtures: Wettable powder or dry flowable formulations (e.g. water dispersible granules) should be added to the spray tank first, followed by suspension concentrates (flowables), water soluble salts (e.g. SLINGER 240, MCPA 750, 2,4-D Amine 625) and then emulsifiable concentrate formulations (e.g. fluroxypyr). Add spraying oils and surfactants (wetters) last, if required.
COMPATIBILITY
SLINGER 240 is compatible with the following: (Read and follow all label directions, restraints, plant-back periods, withholding periods and safety directions on the partner label as well as those on the SLINGER 240 label.)
Broadleaf Herbicides: Metosulam, clopyralid, MCPA amine, MCPA LVE, metsulfuron- methyl, fluroxypyr, 2,4-D amine.
Grass Herbicides: Hoegrass* (Annual Ryegrass only), Topik* 240EC (Wild Oats and Phalaris only).
Adjuvants: BS-1000, Uptake* Spraying Oil (when mixed with Topik 240EC), WetDrop Wetter 1000.
Insecticides: Lemat* and Rogor*.
PICLORAM is not compatible with zinc products (such as Zinc dextrose and Zinc heptahydrate), copper salts (such as sulphate) and manganese sulphate. DO NOT use with hard water or water clarified with alum.
APPLICATION METHODS
A. GROUND APPLICATION (BOOM)
DO NOT apply with smaller than COARSE to VERY COARSE spray droplets according to the ASABE S572 definition for standard nozzles.
For use with MCPA 750: Apply SLINGER 240 with an accurately calibrated boom sprayer, in at least 50 L/ha water. Set the boom at a height to ensure a double overlap of the nozzle pattern.
For use with 2,4-D Amine 625: Spray using accurately calibrated equipment delivering 50-100 L water/ha.
DO NOT use less than 200 L/ ha in sugarcane. When treating maize and sorghum, the risk of crop injury will be reduced if dropper nozzles are used to avoid the growing point of the crop.
For use with Triclopyr: Application in a minimum spray volume of 200 L/ha for galena and St Johns wort and 600 L of water/ha for sicklepod. For use in fallow a minimum spray volume of 50 L/ha is recommended. Boom height must be set to ensure double overlap of nozzle patterns.
B. AERIAL APPLICATION
DO NOT apply SLINGER 240 by aircraft unless wind speed is more than 3 kilometres per hour and less than 15 km/hr as measured at the application site and/or the air temperature is above 30°C, or when the wind is blowing towards susceptible crops, or when there is no wind.
DO NOT apply with smaller than COARSE to VERY COARSE spray droplets according to the ASABE S572 definition for standard nozzles.
For use with MCPA 750: Apply in a minimum volume of 35 L/ha water.
For use with 2,4-D Amine 625: Use accurately calibrated equipment to deliver not less than 20 L water/ha.
DO NOT use less than 50 L/ha in sugarcane.
For use with Triclopyr: Apply in 200 L water/ha using an aircraft to apply 100 L per pass on a double overlap pattern.
C. HIGH VOLUME SPOT SPRAYING
For use with 2,4-D Amine 625: Apply using a calibrated handgun with D5 or D6 (2-3 mm) nozzle plate and operated at 400-500 kPa. Spray to thoroughly wet the weed, usually 2,500-3,500 L water/infested ha is required.
For use with Triclopyr:
WOODY WEEDS Situations
Weeds need to actively growing for herbicides to have an optimal effect. Delay treatment until regrowth has had time to grow to approximately 1 metre in situations which have been bulldozed, slashed, burnt, ploughed or areas having previous chemical treatment.
High volume spraying – Thorough coverage of foliage to the point of runoff is essential, however, avoid excess spraying which is wasteful of chemical.
Hand Gun
Apply the recommended mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems through a No. 6 to 8 tip at 700 to 1500 kPa (400 to 500 kPa for St Johns wort).
A spray volume of 3000 to 4000 L per infested hectare of 1 to 2 metre high blackberry (30 to 40 L/100 m2) should be used.
Use 2000 L of spray mixture/ha of galena infestation (ie 20 L/100 m2 infested area).
Knapsack
Apply the recommended spray mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems. The final volume of application should be similar to handgun.
A spray volume of 3 to 4 L/10 m2 infested area should be used.
A spray volume of 2 L/10 m2 should be used for an infested area infested with galenia.
Controlled Droplet Application (CDA)
Results similar to high volume spraying can be obtained using Micron Herbi* or similar equipment. Select a nozzle to give a flow rate of 2 mL/sec and sweeping action to approximately 1 m/sec to ensure a droplet density to 20/cm. Use a marking agent, as recommended by the equipment manufacturers, to check the spray coverage. Also, consult directions provided with CDA unit.
D. LOW VOLUME HIGH CONCENTRATE APPLICATION TECHNIQUES
Good control will be achieved, similar to high volume application, where bush size enables good coverage of entire bush. Use a marking agent, as recommended by equipment manufacturers to check spray coverage.
Gas powered gun
Apply shots to obtain uniform coverage of 4 to 5 m2 of surface area of bush. This relates to 20 droplets/cm2 of leaf surface.
Sprinkler Sprayer
This technique involves using a micro sprinkler that is connected to a hollow fibre glass rod attached to a pneumatic knapsack sprayer. Use at low pressures (50 to 200 kPa) and apply with a slow seeping action over the top of the plants ensuring even coverage over the leaves.
E. BLANKET WIPER APPLICATION
Blanket needs to be made from durable and wettable material with a rigid backing. Blanket should be rigidly mounted behind motorised vehicle (e.g. tractor, 4-wheel drive vehicle) and set low but never touching the ground.
The chemical solution should be fed to the blanket at a flow rate sufficient to keep the blanket wet but not dripping. In thick patches the blanket may require more frequent solution recharge (rewetting). Ideally, a scraper bar should be mounted in front of the blanket in order to scrape or damage the bark (but not sever the stems) prior to the blanket wiping the stems. This scraper may be mounted at the front of the vehicle. Two passes (in opposite direction) with the blanket increases the contact with the plant. Ground speeds of 10-15 kph are ideal for blanket wiping application.
RE-ENTRY PERIOD ----------
DO NOT enter treated areas until the spray has dried, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist(or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.
SDS ----------
Additional information is listed in the safety data sheet (SDS). A safety data sheet for SLINGER 240 is available from Indigo Specialty Products Pty Ltd on request.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING ----------
ProForce SLINGER 240 Industrial Herbicide is a member of the pyridine group of herbicides. The
product has a disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management SLINGER 240 is a Group I Herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by SLINGER 240 or other Group I herbicides.
Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Indigo Specialty Products Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds.
Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or local Indigo Specialty Products representative.
