Add a non-ionic wetting agent. | Apply as a directed spray minimising contact with sugarcane foliage. Spray when cane is 50 - 80 cm high. Add a non-ionic wetting agent to improve the activity of this product. Best results are achieved if weeds are at the seedling stage and stools are small. Use sufficient spray volume to thoroughly wet weeds. Use higher volumes of water when weeds are large. Whenever sugarcane is sprayed directly with product some visual damage may occur. Some sugarcane varieties are sensitive to herbicide spray damage and full cover spraying of these varieties may result in unacceptable crop phytotoxicity. Local varietal responses should be confirmed before using this product. | | | Vasey Grass or Giant Paspalum | Qld, NSW only | 6.6 L/ha in a minimum of 300 L of water. SPOT SPRAYING: 1.1 L in 100 L of water.

While some yellowing is expected this can be kept to a minimum by splitting the application to two applications 7 - 10 days apart. Weeds should be sprayed when young and actively growing. A repeat application in 14 days may be necessary. Avoid using at high temperatures as this may increase phytotoxicity. Do not mow for 4 days before or after application and do not water for at least 2 days after application. | NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION. THIS PRODUCT IS TOO HAZARDOUS TO BE RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN THE HOME GARDEN WITHOLDING PERIOD: DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT FOR STOCKFEED FOR 5 WEEKS AFTER APPLICATION. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS The use of a surfactant with this product is generally not required except where specified in the directions for use. For best results apply under hot, dry conditions when air temperatures exceed 25°C. As spray is absorbed mainly through the foliage thorough spray coverage of weeds is essential. Weeds should begin to yellow within 10 days of application. MIXING This product readily mixes with water. Half fill spray tank then add product with agitation. Fill tank. CLEAN UP Clean equipment by thoroughly washing with water. RESISTANCE WARNING GAUNTLET™ Herbicide is a member of the Organoarsenicals group of herbicides. The product has the Herbicides with unknown and probably diverse sites of mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group Z herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group Z 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 this product or other Group Z herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Adama Australia accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds. PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS Do not apply under meteorological conditions or from spraying equipment which could be expected to cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible plants, adjacent crops, crop land or pastures. PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND THE ENVIRONMENT Dangerous to fish. Do not contaminate dams, rivers, drains or streams with chemical or used container.
