CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and water courses.

PARTIAL CLEANING (before spraying other labeled or tolerant crops):
After using WALLOP 600, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose. Quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, line, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat procedure twice.

COMPLETE CLEANING (before spraying susceptible crops):
After using WALLOP 600, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose. Quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate as above, then drain. Quarter fill the tank again and add a liquid alkali detergent (e.g. Surf®, Omo®, Drive®) at 500mL/100L water and circulate throughout the system for at least fifteen minutes. Drain, remove filters and nozzles and clean separately. Rinse inside the tank thoroughly using a pressure hose and f lush system with clean water.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING GROUP HERBICIDE

ProForce WALLOP 600 Industrial Herbicide is a member of the Pyridines group of herbicides. WALLOP 600 has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management, WALLOP 600 is a Group 4 herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to WALLOP 600 and other Group 4 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 WALLOP 600 or other Group 4 herbicides. Since 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 WALLOP 600 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 Indigo Specialty Products representative.

RE-ENTRY PERIODS
Do not allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried when applying to barley, oats, triticale, wheat, forests (except in control of cape ivy), rights-of-way, industrial situations, and canola, 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. • Do not allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried to undertake low exposure activities (i.e. irrigation, or weeding) and for 8 days after application to undertake high exposure activities (i.e. pruning, training) when applying to control cape ivy in forests, 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. • Do not allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried to undertake low exposure activities (i.e. irrigation) and for 9 days after application to undertake high exposure activities (i.e. hand weeding, transplanting) when applying to pastures and fallow land, 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. • Do not allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried to undertake low exposure activities (i.e. irrigation, scouting or weeding) and for 17 days after application to undertake high exposure activities (i.e. pruning, training) when applying to Pinus radiata plantations, 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.

PRECAUTIONS
• When applying to plantation trees including Pinus radiata plantations the following restriction statement applies: Must use closed mixing and loading for aerial application. • When applying to forests to control groundsel bush, ragwort, silver wattle and cape ivy, the following restriction statement applies: Do not apply by using spraying equipment carried on the back of the user.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS
DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment that may cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures. Composts and mulches - DO NOT apply WALLOP 600 to crops or pastures that will be used for the production of compost or mulches or mushroom substrate. Such compost or mulch made from plant material treated with WALLOP 600 may cause damage to susceptible crops and plants. Susceptible crops and plants include, but are not limited to chickpeas, clover, cotton, faba beans, field peas, fruit trees, lentils, lupins, lucerne, medics, ornamentals, potatoes, safflower, tomatoes, vegetables, grape and kiwifruit vines, vetches, and wattles. Field peas, faba beans, lentils and vetches are particularly susceptible and should not be sown the season following an application of WALLOP 600 at 250 mL/ha.

PLANTBACK PERIODS
Where WALLOP 600 residue carry over from use rates of less than 250 mL/ha is suspected and susceptible crops are to be planted, test the treated area as follows: • Field bioassay - where rain allows, plant a small area of the susceptible crop 4 to 6 weeks before desired planting data and take note of any symptoms of injury. If any herbicide symptoms are observed, only plant either canola or a cereal (see recommendation for northern and southern Australia below). 4 • Pot bioassay - where not practical to do field bioassay, plant a small number of seeds of the susceptible crop into pots containing soil from the treated field. Do this 4 to 6 weeks before desired planting date. If any herbicide symptoms are observed, only plant either canola or cereal (see recommendation for northern and southern Australia below). Stubble from treated crops - ensure that harvesters effectively spread crop straw and DO NOT leave a heavy ‘header trail’ after harvest. Burn (if legal in the area), bale and remove, slash or incorporate stubble as soon as practical after harvest and as long as possible before planting next year to allow microbial breakdown of any residues in straw. Heavy stubble loads may carry more residue into the following season. Where heavy stubble burdens and/or non-wetting soils exist and less than recommended rain amount have occurred from application to planting the susceptible crop (see below), only plant a Winter or Summer cereal or canola. Planting crops following use of WALLOP 600 in previous crop - planting crops ‘dry’ without significant rain (see below) in the ‘Autumn break’ increases the risk of injury to susceptible crops. This practice should be avoided, or only plant a Winter or irrigated Summer cereal crop or canola. In severely dry conditions, where less than 30% of average annual rainfall and/or less than the minimum rain (see below) has fallen between application and planting the next year, only plant a Winter or irrigated Summer cereal or canola.

PLANTBACK PERIODS FOR SOUTHERN AUSTRALIA WINTER DOMINANT RAINFALL AREAS (Sth NSW, VIC, SA, WA):
Required rain: A minimum 25 mm rain event in the post harvest summer to autumn period, with a subsequent extended period of at least 1 week where the top 10 cm of the soil stays moist is required to enable breakdown of soil residues. Fastest residue breakdown will occur under good soil moisture and warm conditions, which promote microbial activity. Where significant rain (>25 mm) has fallen in Summer to Autumn, with soil wetting for at least one week, the following plantback periods apply:

Clover, chickpea, faba bean, field pea, Up to 150 lentils, lupins, medics and vetch 150 – 250 > 250 Barley, canola, wheat, oats All label rates 9 months 12 months 24 months 1 week

PLANTBACK PERIODS FOR NORTHERN AUSTRALIA SUMMER DOMINANT RAINFALL AREAS (Nth NSW, QLD):
Required rainfall before plantback: If planting susceptible Summer crops - at least 100 mm rain If planting susceptible Winter crops - at least 150 mm rain This rain or irrigation should wet the soil for extended periods (at least one week) this is essential for breakdown of soil residues prior to planting susceptible crops. If planting a cereal or canola crop - at least 50 mm of rain or irrigation is required to enable soil wetting for at least one week. Where these requirements have been met the following plantback periods apply: Following Crops Rate (mL/ha) Plantback Interval Up to 37.5 mL/ha 37.5 – 150 mL/ha Chickpea, cotton, soybean, sunflower 3 months Lucerne Maize, Sorghum Wheat, barley, oats, canola 9 months 1 week 1 week 6 months 9 months 2 weeks 1 week Note: Susceptible crops should not be sown for at least 2 years where WALLOP 600 at more than 150 mL/ha has been used in northern Australia.

PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK
