DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Restraints
DO NOT treat weeds that are not actively growing or are growing under stress. Under such conditions the biological processes of the weeds slow down and FUSILADE FORTE transport in the weed can be drastically reduced, resulting in an incomplete kill or suppression only of the weeds.
DO NOT allow annual grass weeds to reach the late tillering stage before application.
DO NOT apply at flowering stage of weeds.
DO NOT apply under conditions of high temperature, low humidity and where weeds are drought stressed.

export markets apply different standards. To meet these standards, ensure that in addition to
complying with the grazing withholding period, the Export Slaughter Interval is observed before
stock are sold or slaughtered.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
FUSILADE FORTE is rapidly absorbed by leaves and green stems (is rainfast within 1 hour) and
translocated throughout the plant. It accumulates at growing points, both above ground and in the roots,
rhizomes and stolons of grass weeds. Weed growth and hence competition with the crop stops within 48
hours. First symptoms are not evident for at least a week after application. Growing points turn brown and
rot, shoot tips can be easily pulled out after 2 to 3 weeks. Young leaves turn yellow or redden soon after, but
more mature leaves may remain green for extended periods. Weed control is usually complete 3 to 5 weeks
after spraying. If treated area is to be grazed following application with Fusilade Forte, allow 7 days to elapse
before introducing stock to ensure maximum weed control.

Mixing
Add the required amount of product directly to the spray tank which should be 50 to 75% full. The agitation
system should be running during mixing and spraying. If agitation ceases and settlement occurs, agitate
thoroughly before spraying. The addition of an adjuvant is not necessary.

Time of Application
To obtain the maximum benefits of this product, weeds should be sprayed when young and actively growing.
Grasses establishing from seed should be sprayed before tillering occurs. Higher rates will be necessary
once tillering commences. For annual grass weeds, spraying must take place before the late tillering stage if
a complete kill is desired.
Unless otherwise specified in the Critical Comments application may be made at any stage of crop growth
but allowing sufficient time for the prescribed withholding period.

Method of Application
Good spray coverage is essential for maximum results. Spray equipment must be checked and calibrated
accurately prior to application.
Boom spraying
Check height of boom above the target weeds to ensure the spray is evenly distributed and a double overlap
pattern is obtained. When spraying grass weed targets, an even distribution of droplets with no less than 50
% of the spray volume in the 150 to 300 micron range is desirable.
Broadacre use: Water volumes per hectare will depend on nozzle selection and should be in the range of 50
to 100 L/ha. 110° fan nozzles are preferred for use with this product. Use higher volumes of spray to achieve
full coverage of dense, vigorous weed infestations.
Band spraying: Ensure sufficient coverage by using 2 nozzles (one either side of the plant row) when the
crop is beyond the 2 leaf stage.
Aerial Application
Flying height, pressure, nozzle size and positioning of the aircraft should be such to minimise spray drift.
Avoid spraying in high winds or under temperature inversion conditions. Special care must be taken to avoid
drift onto adjacent crops such as cereals, maize or sorghum. Apply in not less than 30 L/ha.
Spot Spraying
On smaller areas use a knapsack sprayer suitably calibrated.

Cleaning Up
After use, clean equipment thoroughly and rinse several times prior to re-use.

Compatibility
This product is compatible with Agral and BS1000, DC Trate*, Ulvapron*, Sertin*, Imidan*, Karate® and
Pirimor®. DO NOT tank mix with other pesticides without prior reference to a Syngenta representative.

Resistant Weeds Warning
GROUP A HERBICIDE
FUSILADE FORTE 128 EC Herbicide is a member of the aryloxyphenoxypropionate group of herbicides.
FUSILADE FORTE has the inhibitors of acetyl coA carboxylase mode of action. For weed resistance
management FUSILADE FORTE is a Group A herbicide.
Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to FUSILADE FORTE and Group A 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
FUSILADE FORTE or other Group A herbicides.
Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Syngenta Australia Pty Ltd accepts
no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of FUSILADE FORTE to control resistant weeds.

Stress Conditions
Moisture stress is a particular problem, whether caused by drought or short term stresses, resulting from a
combination of high temperatures and low humidity or by prior use of pre-emergence herbicides resulting in
stunted root growth of weeds. An irrigation or an effective rainfall must occur immediately before or after

***

spraying if these conditions exist. Other stress situations to avoid include frost, waterlogging and extended
cold conditions. DO NOT spray if any stress conditions are evident just prior to application.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS
DO NOT apply under weather conditions or from spraying equipment which may cause spray to drift onto
nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures. DO NOT plant cereal crops for a period of 12
weeks after application of FUSILADE FORTE.

PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK, WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT
Moderately hazardous to fish. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used
containers.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Store in the closed, original container in a well ventilated area, as cool as possible and away from children,
animals, food, feedstuffs, seed and fertilisers. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight.
Triple-rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to 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 500 mm 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.
