DIRECTIONS FOR USE

SPRAY DRIFT RESTRAINTS
Specific definitions for terms used in this section of the label can be found at apvma.gov.au/spraydrift DO NOT allow bystanders to come into contact with the spray cloud. DO NOT apply in a manner that may cause an unacceptable impact to native vegetation, agricultural crops, landscaped gardens and aquaculture production, or cause contamination of plant or livestock commodities, outside the application site from spray drift. The buffer zones in the relevant buffer zone table below provide guidance but may not be sufficient in all situations. Wherever possible, correctly use application equipment designed to reduce spray drift and apply when the wind direction is away from these sensitive areas. DO NOT apply unless the wind speed is between 3 and 20 kilometres per hour at the application site during the time of application. DO NOT apply if there are hazardous surface temperature inversion conditions present at the application site during the time of application. Surface temperature inversion conditions exist most evenings 1 to 2 hours before sunset and persist until 1 to 2 hours after sunrise. DO NOT apply by a boom sprayer unless the following requirements are met: • Minimum distances between the application site and downwind sensitive areas (see Mandatory downwind buffer zones in the following table titled ‘Buffer zones’) are observed. DO NOT apply by a vertical sprayer unless the following requirements are met: • Spray is not directed above the target canopy • The outside of the sprayer is turned off when turning at the end of rows and when spraying the outer row on each side of the application site • Minimum distances between the application site and downwind sensitive areas (see Mandatory downwind buffer zones in the following table titled ‘Buffer zones’) are observed. DO NOT apply by aircraft unless the following requirements are met: • For maximum release heights above the target canopy of 3m or 25% of wingspan or 25% of rotor diameter whichever is the greatest, and minimum distances between the application site and downwind sensitive areas (see Mandatory downwind buffer zones in the following table titled ‘Buffer zones’) are observed.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This product is a pre-emergent herbicide which selectively controls certain annual and perennial weeds in the situations as listed in the directions for use table. It can also be used to control weeds in Triazine Tolerant Canola varieties. Established perennial species will not be controlled at the rates recommended. Duration and effectiveness of control depends on the amount of chemical applied, soil type, rainfall, weed species and other conditions. Best results are achieved if the product is applied to bare moist soil. Since the product mainly enters weeds through root absorption, sufficient moisture (either rainfall or irrigation) is required to move the product into the root zone of weeds to make the product effective.

MIXING
Stir the product or invert the container prior to use in case settling has occurred in storage. Partially fill the spray tank with water and maintain agitation while adding the required quantity of Sim-Force 500SC Industrial Herbicide. Agitation should continue after filling and during spraying. If spray is allowed to stand, agitate thoroughly before resuming spraying.

INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FOR TT CANOLA
The use of this product in TT-Canola is subject to an Integrated Weed Management Strategy for the use of triazine herbicides in TT-Canola’ The Strategy encompasses: • Integrated Weed Management; • The specific management of crop plant volunteers and outcrossing to other plants; and • Triazine herbicide residue management (agronomic and environment). Compliance with registered label directions and adoption of the principles outlined in the Strategy will assist with implementation of crop management practices that minimise the development of herbicide resistance in treated weeds; reduce the levels of triazine residues in the environment; and manage volunteer plants and outcrossing. Copies of the Strategy are available from Indigo Specialty Products representatives or by contacting Indigo Specialty Products Pty Ltd, 3/49 Donaldson Road, Rocklea, Qld 4106, T: 0402 735 887. Where specific information and farm management assessment is required to assist with application of Integrated Weed Management programs on-farm, particularly in adapting strategies to local conditions, then specific expert advice should be obtained from an appropriate agronomist, consultant, chemical supplier or Departmental adviser.

To minimise herbicide resistance:
• Avoid dry sowing in heavily weed infested paddocks. Wait for a weed germination after the opening rains in weedy paddocks. Use a pre-plant knockdown or cultivation. No weeds should be allowed to survive at this stage. • Adapt the weed control program to the anticipated weed spectrum and pressure. Broadleaf Weeds and Ryegrass: Use Sim-Force 500SC Industrial Herbicide or Atrazine 500 SC plus trifluralin pre-emergence. A follow-up with a Group 1 herbicide (if Ryegrass is susceptible) or Atrazine 500 SC may be necessary.

Broadleaf Weeds only:
Use Sipcam Atrazine 500 SC Herbicide postemergence. • DO NOT use Sim-Force 500SC Industrial Herbicide or Atrazine 500 SC Herbicide if the area to be treated had a triazine herbicide applied to it last season. • Watch for escapes, especially in paddocks with a long history of Group 5 herbicide use. • DO NOT use Group 5 herbicides in consecutive years.

Resistant Weeds Reporting
Growers should collect plant or seed samples where weeds that are normally susceptible to atrazine and simazine may be resistant, get them tested and seek professional advice.

To avoid Triazine carry-over:
On acid soils (pH less than 6.5) – The maximum rate of use Sim-Force 500SC Industrial Herbicide or Atrazine 500 SC Herbicide or a combination of the two products to be applied to the crop during the growing season is 4L/ha. On alkaline soils (pH greater than 6.5) – The maximum rate of use Sim-Force 500SC Industrial Herbicide or Atrazine 500 SC Herbicide or a combination of the two products to be applied to the crop during the growing season is 2L/ha.

Post-emergence use:
It is recommended that Atrazine 500 SC Herbicide only be used, and at rates of 2L/ha or less, on both acid or alkaline soils.

COMPATIBILITY
This product is compatible with amitrole and diuron flowable. It may also be mixed with glyphosate, paraquat, diquat or paraquat/diquat mixtures provided the mixture is agitated vigorously. When mixing with glyphosate add crystalline ammonium sulphate 2kg/100L to avoid antagonism. Avoid mixing in extremely cold weather (2-50C). The use of a buffering agent is recommended when mixing with alkaline water (pH 8-12).

TT-Canola: Application
DO NOT apply to TT-Canola by aircraft. Apply only with a low boom spray with a 60m buffer downwind of treated fields to natural or impounded lakes or dams, and a 20m buffer zone for any sink hole, intermittent or perennial stream. Apply only to areas where run-off is unlikely to occur or where run-off may be captured by farm earthworks.

APPLICATION
Apply in a minimum of 50L/ha (WA); 100L/ha (SA, NSW, Vic, Qld); 200L (Tas). Higher water volumes are preferred to increase the evenness and accuracy of application.

PRECAUTIONS
Almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, nursery stock, cut flowers and foliage: DO NOT expose foliage or fruit to spray during treatment application. Use suitable nozzle type and shields around nozzles to target spray and minimise drift.

RE-ENTRY PERIOD
DO NOT enter treated areas without protective clothing until spray has dried

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING
GROUP 5 HERBICIDE Sim-Force 500SC Industrial Herbicide is a member of the triazines group of herbicides. Sim-Force 500SC Industrial Herbicide has the inhibitor of photosynthesis at photosystem II mode of action. For weed resistance management Sim-Force 500SC Industrial Herbicide is a Group 5 Herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Sim-Force 500SC Industrial Herbicide and other Group 5 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 Sim-Force 500SC Industrial Herbicide or any other Group 5 herbicide. 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 Sim-Force 500SC Industrial Herbicide to control resistant weeds.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT
DO NOT apply this product within 60m of natural or impounded lakes or dams. DO NOT use in channels or drains where roots of desirable plants may extend. Wash sprayer thoroughly with clean water after use. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. This product is very highly toxic to algae and aquatic macrophytes.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS
DO NOT apply under meteorological conditions or from spraying equipment that may cause spray drift on to nearby susceptible plants, crops, pastures or croplands. DO NOT use in channels or drains. DO NOT apply or 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 spray foliage of desirable plants. Do not apply high rates of application to heavier soils if roots of desirable shrubs and trees are near the surface. DO NOT use near newly planted shrubs, young ornamentals or species with shallow roots. When spraying at high rates for total weed control do not spray beds where desirable annual plants are to be grown. Crops such as lettuce, cabbage, tomatoes, cucumber, carrots and red beet are particularly sensitive to Simazine residues. DO NOT plant to crops other than those recommended on this label for at least 9 months following application of this product up to 4.5L/ha. When application rates exceed 4.5L/ha, planting may not be possible for long periods of time. DO NOT make more than two applications in any one year in Asparagus, Berry Fruit, Citrus, Almonds, Hazelnuts, Walnuts, Gladioli, Hops, Lupins, Roses, Apples, Pears or Vineyards. Heavy rain following application prior to emergence may cause damage to Chickpeas.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Triple rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to the spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on-site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and deliver empty packaging to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose, clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant local, state or territory government regulations. Do not burn empty containers or product. Refillable Containers: Empty contents fully into application equipment. Close all valves and return to point of supply for refill or storage.

RATES:
- Light Soils: 1.5-2L/ha
- Heavy Soils: 2.5-3.3L/ha
CRITICAL COMMENTS:
Apply to new beds prior to planting, or as a directed, inter-row spray treatment within established wildflower crops. Avoid overspray or incidental spray drift onto crop, as damage or death of plants may occur. Apply one preemergent (of weeds) application only using suitable ground application equipment. Ensure equipment is correctly calibrated. Apply to bare soil with rainfall or irrigation to closely follow to achieve most effective control. Use lower rates of simazine product when short residual control is required. Increase the rate when longer residual control is required. The sensitivity of some species and varieties of nursery stock, cut flowers and foliage and wildflowers has not been fully evaluated. It is advisable to only treat target weeds in close proximity to a small number of plants and closely monitor plant health. Discontinue applications when any adverse symptoms post-treatment are observed.
