Indigo Rapid Fire 800SG 10kg Glyphosate (Aquatic registered)

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING
ProForce RAPID FIRE 800 SG Herbicide is a member of the Glycine group of herbicides. RAPID FIRE 800 SG
has the inhibitors of EPSP synthase mode of action. For weed resistance management RAPID FIRE 800 SG is a Group M Herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to RAPID FIRE 800 SG and other Group M 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 RAPID FIRE 800 SG or other Group M 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 RAPID FIRE 800 SG to control resistant weeds.


DIRECTIONS FOR USE
RESTRAINTS: DO NOT disturb treated weeds by cultivation, sowing or grazing for 1 day after treatment of annual weeds and 7 days for perennial weeds.
DO NOT treat weeds under poor growing or dormant conditions such as occur in drought, water logging, disease, insect damage or following frost. Reduced control may also occur when treating weeds heavily covered with dust or silt. Rainfall occurring up to 6 hours after application may reduce effectiveness. Heavy rainfall within 2 hours of application may wash the chemical off the foliage and a repeat treatment may be required.
DO NOT use prior to sowing tomatoes.


GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This product is a non-volatile, water-soluble granule with non-selective herbicidal activity against many annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and grasses. This product is absorbed by plant foliage and green stems. It is inactivated immediately in the soil and does not provide residual weed control. This product moves through the plant from the point of contact and into the root system.

Visible effects on annual weeds take 3-7 days, but on perennial weeds may not be obvious for 2-3 weeks or longer in some cases. Visible effects of control may be delayed by cool or cloudy weather at and following treatment. Visible effects are a gradual yellowing and wilting of the plant, which advances to complete browning of above ground growth and deterioration of underground plant parts.
Delay application until vegetation has emerged to the stages described in the ‘Weeds Controlled’ tables. Unemerged parts arising from attached underground rhizomes or root stocks of perennials will not be affected by spray and will continue to grow. For this reason best control of most perennial weeds is obtained at late growth stages approaching maturity.


MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
This granular product dissolves readily in water. Where product is supplied in Water Soluble Measure Packs, these will readily break up in the spray tank and dissolve in a few minutes.
For boom applications, water volumes should not be less than 6 litres per 1kg of RAPID FIRE 800 SG.
Reduced results may occur if water containing soil is used, e.g. water from ponds and unlined ditches or of hard water containing calcium salts is used.

Ensure the spray tank is free of any residue of previous spray materials.

Fill the spray tank with one half the required amount of clean water and add the proper amount of this product. Mix well before adding the remaining portion of water. Placing the filling hose below the surface of the spray solution will prevent excessive foaming. Removing hose from tank immediately after filling will prevent back siphoning into water source. Do not use mechanical agitators as these may cause excessive foaming.
For mixing instructions for tank mixes, see Tank Mixtures.


TANK MIXTURES
This product may be tank-mixed with the following herbicides, insecticides and additives where recommended. Read and follow all label directions, restraints, plant-back periods, withholding periods and safety directions for the tank mix products.
Mixing Instructions for all Tank Mixtures
1. Fill the spray tank 1/3 to ½ full with clean water and start agitation.
2. Add recommended herbicide/insecticide/additive to the spray tank and mix thoroughly.
3. Where ammonium sulphate is recommended, add Liquid Liase Herbicide Adjuvant at a rate of 2 L/100 L spray solution and mix thoroughly.
4. Add RAPID FIRE 800 SG as granules or as Water Soluble Measure Packs and the remaining water. Mix thoroughly to ensure granules are dispersed and any Water Soluble Bags are fully dissolved.
5. Add surfactant. If required, near the end of the filling process to minimise foaming.
6. Always maintain adequate agitation during application and use the tank mix promptly.


TANK MIXTURES – HERBICIDES
Atrazine flowable* (DO NOT apply the tank-mix for Barnyard grass control), Farmalinx 2,4-D ester, Dicam, Tufman, Farmalinx Simazine, sulfometuron, pendimethalin, Metfuron 600 WG, Triafon, Farmalinx LVE MCPA 500 or 570, and Oxyfan 240.
The addition of Oxyfan 240 at 75mL/ha to recommended rates of RAPID FIRE 800 SG prior to planting wheat or barley will improve knockdown and increase the speed at which treated weeds develop visible signs of phytotoxicity.
*Add crystalline ammonium sulphate as per directions below.


TANK MIXTURES – ADDITIVES
Ammonium Sulphate: Add Liase to water first at a rate of 2L/100 L spray solution. (DO NOT apply the tank mix for Barnyard grass control).
The use of Liase with RAPID FIRE 800 SG, when used to control ANNUAL weeds MAY improve the performance of RAPID FIRE 800 SG under adverse environmental conditions such as cool, cloudy weather and assist in minimising the antagonism in tank mixes of RAPID FIRE 800 SG and flowable triazine herbicides.
Liase may be corrosive to metal parts of the sprayer. Thoroughly flush tanks, pumps and nozzles with water after use.


TANK MIXTURES – INSECTICIDES
This product is compatible with the following insecticides: phosmet, Chlorpos, fenvalerate and emulsifiable concentrates of dimethoate and fenitrothion. Other insecticides have not been tested.


APPLICATION INFORMATION
This product is a non-selective translocated herbicide. Direct spray contact, or even slight drift, may cause severe injury or destruction of any growing crop or other desirable plants including trees. Clean all equipment after use by thoroughly washing with water.


APPLICATION ON HILLY TERRAIN
Increase water volume to 30-80 L/ha and increase median droplet diameter of output to at least 300 microns to optimise deposition of spray output onto weeds.


SAFETY DIRECTIONS
May irritate the nose and throat.
Corrosive. Attacks eyes and skin. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. If dust is present, wear disposable face mask covering mouth and nose. When opening the container, and preparing the spray, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist and elbow-length chemical resistant gloves and goggles. If applying by hand, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist and elbow-length chemical resistant gloves. If product on skin, immediately wash area with soap and water. If product in eyes, wash it out immediately with water. Wash hands after use. After each day’s use wash gloves and contaminated clothing.
