DIRECTIONS FOR USE RESTRAINTS DO NOT use Nufarm CRUCIAL® Advanced Technology Herbicide (“CRUCIAL”), or any other product containing glyphosate, as the only method of weed control if glyphosate resistant weeds are suspected or present. To ensure herbicide absorption, DO NOT disturb weeds by cultivation, sowing or grazing for 1 day after treatment of annual weeds and 7 days for perennial weeds, except where noted. DO NOT treat weeds under poor growing conditions due to moisture stress, waterlogging, severe frosting, insect damage etc. Apply treatments to actively growing weeds which have at least one true leaf (broadleaf weeds) or two leaves (grasses) to provide an adequate surface area for herbicide uptake. Reduced performance may also occur where weeds are covered with dust or silt. If heavy grazing has occurred, allow regrowth to 6-8 cm before spraying and use the higher rates recommended (where higher rates are listed for the relevant crop/situation). CAUTION Certain plants may be naturally toxic to stock. Where known toxic plants are present DO NOT allow stock to graze until complete browning of treated plants has occurred. DO NOT apply by aircraft when temperature is above 30°C.

Addition of Wetter Tx 200 Ml/100l Spray Solution May Improve Control * Plants of This Species Are Best Controlled as Seedlings

GENERAL COMMENTS FOR SECTION 2 A Application rate selection: Use CRUCIAL at 0.6-5.5 L/ha as directed. Minimum application rates for each weed are listed in the table above (in mL/ha); recommended use rates (except where a tank mixture is used where the maximum rate is 1.8 L/ha, or when applying by aircraft when the maximum rate is 2.4 L/ha) are:

• 0.6-1.8 L/ha for annual weed species
• 1.8-3.6 L/ha for perennial species
• 5.5 L/ha for hard to control perennial species NOTE: The maximum approved rate for any weed is 5.5 L/ha and this should never be exceeded. Use lower rates on young weeds and where cultivation is to follow within 21 days. Increase to higher rates when treating under cold/overcast conditions, or when treating late in the season, or where grasses reach full tillering, or where broadleaf weeds reach stem elongation/budding, or when commencing a fallow. Addition of Liase at 2 L/100 L, may improve control when treating under adverse environmental conditions.

Perennial weeds: Control of established perennials is best obtained when plants are at the seedhead stage. In general, best control of Winter growing perennials is obtained with application during Winter-Spring. Best control of Summer growing perennials is obtained with application late Summer and Autumn.

Tank mixtures: See TANK MIXTURES for directions. Read and follow all label directions, restraints, plant-back periods, withholding periods, regional use restrictions and safety directions for the tank mix products. Where required on a tank-mix partner label add either a non-ionic surfactant (eg. Activator®) or Collide 700® in accordance with label directions on the mixture product. Use Collide 700 with the mixture product if insecticides will be included in the tank mixture or if faster brown out of weeds is required. Additional surfactant requirements are listed for specific tank-mix partners in the table above. For residual control of annual weeds CRUCIAL may be tank-mixed with certain residual herbicides listed in TANK MIXTURES. DO NOT use CRUCIAL at rates higher than 1.8 L/ha in a tank mix for uses in Section 1 unless otherwise stated in the Section 2 weed table above.

Aerial application: Use CRUCIAL up to a maximum of 2.4 L/ha. For further instructions on aerial application, and application under hot conditions, see AERIAL EQUIPMENT.

B Amicide Advance 700 rate selection: Use Amicide Advance 700 at 0.28-1.2 L/ha as directed in a tank mixture with CRUCIAL. Minimum application rates for each weed are listed above, however all weeds listed can be treated up to the maximum application rate of 1.8 L/ha of CRUCIAL and 1.2 L/ha of Amicide Advance 700. Use lower rates for seedling broadleaf weeds and increase to higher rates for broadleaf weeds more than 10 cm diameter/high. For rate ranges specific to individual species, see the table above. At the time of application, all weeds must be actively growing and not under stress from low moisture, frost, cold, disease or water-logging. If grazing has occurred allow regrowth to 6-8 cm before spraying and use higher rate. For adequate coverage use a minimum application water volume of 70 L/ha.

EXPORT OF TREATED PRODUCE Growers should note that MRL’s or import tolerances DO NOT exist in all markets for produce treated with CRUCIAL Herbicide. If you are growing produce for export, please check with Nufarm Australia Limited for the latest information on MRL’s and import tolerance before using CRUCIAL Herbicide.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS CRUCIAL is a non-volatile, non-selective, water soluble liquid herbicide with non-selective herbicidal activity. It is absorbed by plant foliage and green stems and moves through the plant from the point of contact to and into the root system. Effects may not be apparent for 3–7 days (annual weeds) or 2–3 weeks (perennial weeds) or longer under cool, cloudy conditions. CRUCIAL will control emerged weeds only, and provides no residual weed control. Apply treatments to weeds which have at least one true leaf (broadleaf weeds) or two leaves (grasses) to provide an adequate surface area for herbicide uptake. CRUCIAL may be used prior to sowing any crop (edible or non-edible) but not prior to transplanting tomato seedlings. A withholding period for grazing stock is not required. However, it is recommended that grazing of treated plants be delayed for one day after treatment of annual weeds, or 7 days of perennial weeds are present, to ensure absorption of CRUCIAL. Certain plants (eg. Soursob, variegated thistle) may be naturally toxic to stock. Where known toxic plants are present, DO NOT allow stock to graze until complete browning of treated plants has occurred. Weeds should be actively growing at the time of treatment. DO NOT treat weeds under poor growing or dormant conditions (such as occur in drought, water logging, disease, insect damage or following frosts) as reduced weed control may result. Reduced results may also occur when treating weeds heavily covered with dust or silt. Prior herbicide application may also induce stress in weeds. Rainfall occurring up to 1 hour of daylight after application may reduce effectiveness, heavy rainfall may wash the chemical off the foliage and a repeat treatment may be required. Rainfastness or general efficacy may be reduced if weeds are not actively growing, are under stress or conditions of low light intensity/darkness. Delay treatment of plants wet with dew or rain, if water droplets run off when plants are disturbed. Avoid contact with foliage, green stems or fruit of crops, desirable plants and trees, since severe injury or destruction may result.

CROP ESTABLISHMENT CRUCIAL is recommended for control of emerged weeds prior to crop establishment. Suitable cultivation and/or sowing operations are required to provide seed bed conditions satisfactory for crop germination and development. Spraying early to control young weeds will favour preparation of suitable seed beds. On friable soils and where there is only light cover of young weeds, sowing may proceed satisfactorily from one hour after spraying. In situations of heavy weed growth sowing should be delayed until weed decay and soil conditions allow formation of a satisfactory seed bed. Incorporation of green or decaying vegetation and roots into the seedbed by cultivation or sowing may cause retarded crop emergence, particularly in cold and/or wet conditions. Vegetation may be reduced by grazing and weed decay may be assisted by cultivation to leave trash on the surface. In marginal seedbed conditions take care to achieve correct seeding depth, and avoid use of pre-emergence herbicides where label directions advise of risk of retarded crop emergence. FULL SOIL DISTURBANCE SEEDING: When cultivating or sowing with a tyned implement, the operation may start one day after applying CRUCIAL to annual species and 7 days for perennial species and should be completed within 21 days. Cultivation or sowing may start 6 hours after treatment when treating light infestations or pre-tillering annual grasses or annual broadleaved weeds less than 8cm diameter/height. MINIMAL OR NO SOIL DISTURBANCE SEEDING: Trash may be removed by grazing after applying CRUCIAL. Grazing may commence one day after treatment of small annual weeds, three days for large annual weeds, and 7 days for perennial weeds, and should be completed within 21 days. AERIAL (OR SURFACE) SEEDING: Delay seeding until trash is completely removed by grazing and/or plant decay. When establishing pasture, ensure application of fertilizer and insecticides and follow-up management is undertaken as required.

MIXING CRUCIAL mixes readily with water. Note: Reduced results may occur if water containing soil is used, eg. Water from ponds and unlined ditches, or if hard water containing calcium salts is used. DO NOT mix, store or apply this product or spray solutions of this product in galvanised steel or unlined steel containers or spray tanks, since a highly flammable gas mixture may be formed. Use stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper, fibreglass, plastic or plastic lined containers or spray tanks. Ensure the sprayer is free of any residue of previous spray materials. Use spray solutions promptly since a gradual loss of activity will occur. Fill the spray tank with one half the required amount of clean water and add the proper amount of CRUCIAL. Mix well before adding the remaining portion of water.

==Screenshot for page 24== Nufarm CRUCIAL Advanced Technology Herbicide Approved: 3 March 2020 Page 21 Where required, add surfactant near the end of the filling process to minimize foaming. Placing the filling hose below the surface of the spray solution will prevent excessive foaming. Removing hose from tank immediately after the filling will prevent back siphoning into water source. DO NOT use mechanical agitators as these may cause excessive foaming. Spray tanks, pumps, lines and nozzles should be thoroughly rinsed with clean water following application to prevent corrosion.

TANK MIXTURES/COMPATIBILITY CRUCIAL may be tank mixed with the following herbicides, insecticides and additives. Read and follow all label directions, restraints, plant-back periods, withholding periods, regional use restrictions and safety directions for the tank mix products.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL TANK MIXTURES

1. Fill the spray tank 1/3 to 1/2 full with clean water and start agitation.
2. Add Nufarm Liase where required.
3. Add recommended herbicide/insecticide/additive to the spray tank and mix thoroughly.
4. Add CRUCIAL and the remaining water. Mix thoroughly.
5. Add surfactant, if required, near the end of the filling process to minimize foaming.
6. Always maintain adequate agitation during application and use the tank mix promptly.

TANK MIXTURES – HERBICIDE COMPATIBILITY CRUCIAL is compatible with the following herbicides: Amicide Advance® 700, Archer® 750, Archer®, Associate®, Atradex®, Avadex® Xtra, Balance*, Boxer Gold*, Bromicide® 200, Bouncer® 960S, Butisan* (always use Nufarm Liase in accordance with the mixing instructions above), Cobber® 475, Comet® 400, Diurex®, Estercide® 800, Estercide® Xtra 680, Grando®, Intercept®, Kamba® 750, Logran* 750, Logran* B Power, Lusta®, Mako®, Nail® 240EC, Nail® 600EC, Nugran*, Olando®, Polo® LVE 570, Rifle 440®, Rustler*, Sakura*, Sentry®, Sharpen*, Simagranz®, Spark®, Striker®, Terbazine, Terrain® 500WG, Tomahawk®, TriflurX®, and Trooper® 75-D. Other brands have not been tested. Ensure all water dispersible granules, wettable powders, etc. have fully dispersed and agitation is maintained prior to the addition of CRUCIAL Herbicide.

TANK MIXTURES – INSECTICIDE COMPATIBILITY CRUCIAL is compatible with the following insecticides: Astound® Duo, Astral®, Chlorpyrifos 500EC, Imidan®, Kaiso® 240EG with Sorbie Technology, Le-Mat*, Lorsban* 500, Matador Zeon®, Sumithion* ULV, and emulsifiable concentrates of dimethoate and fenitrothion. Other insecticides have not been tested.

TANK MIXTURES - ADDITIVES Nufarm Liase (417g/L ammonium sulphate liquid) RATE: 2L per 100 litres spray solution. Nufarm Liase may be used as an adjuvant to alleviate the adverse effects of high levels of calcium, magnesium and bicarbonate ions in water. The addition of Nufarm Liase to CRUCIAL, when used to control annual weeds, MAY improve the performance of CRUCIAL under adverse environmental conditions such as cool cloudy weather. Nufarm Liase may also improve the performance of tank mixtures of CRUCIAL and atrazine or simazine. Ammonium sulphate may be corrosive to metal parts of the sprayer. Thoroughly flush tanks, pumps and nozzles with water after use. Solubility and impurity profiles of other forms of ammonium sulphate can vary and may reduce the performance of CRUCIAL or tank mixtures.

SURFACTANT ADDITION Nufarm Collide 700® Surfactant RATE: 250mL-500mL per 100L. The addition of Nufarm Collide 700 surfactant MAY improve weed control. At rates of 300mL-500mL per 100L, Nufarm Collide 700 is likely to modify the droplet spectrum produced by CP and flat fan nozzles. This is likely to reduce the proportion of driftable FINE droplets produced by these nozzles. For high volume application (eg. Knapsack, Handgun equipment), if CRUCIAL is less than 0.9 L/100L, add Nufarm Collide 700® at 250mL/100L.

Nufarm Activator® RATE: Where required on a tank-mix partner label to use a non-ionic surfactant, add Activator at 70mL-125mL per 100L. General Purpose non-ionic surfactants, other than Activator, may increase the production of FINE and VERY FINE droplets, which are prone to drift when used through certain nozzle types.

Wetter TX Surfactant RATE: 200mL/100L spray solution. Add when treating Annual Ryegrass, Silvergrass and Perennial grasses. Wetter TX is NOT a general-purpose surfactant and should be used only where recommended. The addition of Wetter TX may improve rainfastness on Winter annual weeds.

DO NOT use adjuvants or surfactants other than those recommended on this label. DO NOT use crop oil except when tank mixing with a herbicide for which an oil adjuvant is recommended to be used. The addition of a crop oil can reduce control of some grass weeds, particularly in Summer.

SPRAY APPLICATIONS AND DRIFT RISK ASSESSMENT [Logo: Nufarm SprayWise] DO NOT apply when wind speed is less than 3 or more than 20 kilometres per hour as measured at the application site. For aerial application it is recommended where possible for this product to be applied by an aerial applicator business that holds current accreditation for the Aerial Improvement Management System –“ AIMS”, issued by the Aerial Agricultural Association of Australia Ltd. Checklist: • Have you cleaned/decontaminated your boom sprayer? • Have you contacted your neighbour prior to spraying? • Is your sprayer set-up correctly for the particular application? • Check - boom calibration

• at nozzle - nozzle choice
• low drift/what spray quality
• coarse or larger spray quality?
• boom height - speed of intended application
• water volume • You must check, determine and record the weather conditions immediately prior to, and immediately after the spray application is made.

APPLICATION CRUCIAL 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.

Boom Equipment For Broadacre boom application, a spray volume of 80 L/ha is recommended for broadacre uses and 200 L/ha or less for treeline and vineline spraying in orchards and vineyards. Nozzles and pressure settings should be selected to deliver a COARSE to VERY COARSE spray quality at the target. The use of nozzles and/or pressure settings that produce VERY FINE or FINE spray quality should be avoided as these are prone to loss or drift. In multiple product tank mixes a minimum water volume of 50 L/ha is recommended and local advice should be sought. Correct mixing order is important as is good in-tank agitation when application is occurring.

Shielded Equipment For shielded applications a spray volume of 80 L/sprayed ha is recommended using nozzle types and pressure settings to deliver a COARSE spray quality at the target. Crop damage may result if spray drift occurs through incorrect nozzle and/or pressure selection, inadequate shielding and/or wind strength, high evaporation rates or excessive ground speed.

High Volume Application (e.g. Knapsack, Handgun Equipment) The dilution rate varies depending on the use situation and weeds controlled - see Weeds Controlled tables for specific rates and use recommendation. Adjust equipment to achieve an even spray pattern with a COARSE spray quality at the target. Apply to ensure complete and uniform wetting of all foliage.

Controlled Droplet Application Equipment (CDA) CRUCIAL can be applied through hand held and machine mounted CDA sprayers. See Weeds Controlled tables for specific rates and use recommendations. Due to the range of CDA equipment available, dilution rates, flow rates and travel speeds will need to be determined for individual sprayers to ensure labelled rates are applied. Spray units need to be cleaned thoroughly preferably after each application to ensure optimum performance. DO NOT add oils to CRUCIAL/water mixture, otherwise difficulty in application and reduced weed control may occur. Because CDA units may deliver relatively low spray volumes per hectare, use on large weeds may result in insufficient coverage resulting in inadequate weed control. CAUTION: CDA equipment produces a fine spray pattern which is not easily visible. Ensure spray pattern or drift does not contact foliage or any other green tissue of desirable plants, since severe injury or destruction may result.

Aerial Equipment CRUCIAL may be applied by aircraft for control of weeds in forests, cropland or pasture prior to establishment of crops, new pastures or new forest plantings and for pre-harvest applications, up to a maximum rate of 2.4 L/ha where specified by this label. DO NOT apply treatments by aircraft in situations where drift onto sensitive crops and pastures is likely to occur. Apply treatments using a spray volume not less than 20 L/ha and using settings to produce a COARSE to VERY COARSE spray quality. In multiple product tank mixes a minimum water volume of 50 L/ha is recommended and local advice should be sought. Correct mixing order is important. Swath width should be set to consider aircraft type, wind conditions and target height. Swath width will need to be reduced to avoid striping under light wind conditions and/or application to tall, dense targets e.g. preharvest application, treatments in heavy crop stubble. Thoroughly wash aircraft after each day of spraying to remove herbicide residues. When applying this product by helicopter in combination with Associate for the control of Blackberry, Coppice and Pine wildling suppression in forestry and other specific situations, a rate of 4.8 L/ha CRUCIAL may be applied. Refer Section 11 and the Associate label for specific recommendations and application recommendations.

Aerial application - Hilly terrain For aerial application on hilly terrain, increase water volume to 30-80 L/ha and use a COARSE spray quality to optimise spray coverage.

Aerial application - Air temperature and relative humidity DO NOT apply CRUCIAL by aircraft at temperatures above 30ºC. Ensure spray output is at least 30 L/ha when temperatures rise above 25ºC. Avoid application when relative humidity falls below 35%.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING GROUP M HERBICIDE Nufarm CRUCIAL Advanced Technology Herbicide (“CRUCIAL”) is a member of the Glycines group of herbicides. CRUCIAL has the inhibition of EPSP synthase mode of action. For weed resistance management CRUCIAL is a Group M herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to CRUCIAL 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 CRUCIAL or other Group M herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Nufarm accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of CRUCIAL to control resistant weeds. Users of CRUCIAL over Roundup Ready Flex* cotton, Roundup Ready* canola, TruFlex* canola or canola hybrids with the Optimum GLY® herbicide tolerance trait must implement practices that minimize the development of resistance in treated weeds. Minimising this risk may best be achieved by following the integrated weed management strategy guidelines summarised below:

==Screenshot for page 26== Nufarm CRUCIAL Advanced Technology Herbicide Approved: 3 March 2020 Page 23

1. Aim to enter the Roundup Ready Flex* cotton, Roundup Ready* canola, TruFlex* canola or canola hybrids with the Optimum GLY® herbicide tolerance trait, cropping phase of the rotation with a low weed burden.
2. Integrate as many different weed control options (chemical and cultural) as possible through all phases of the crop rotation.
3. Make every herbicide application count – use registered rates at the correct application growth stage and assess effectiveness.
4. Rotate herbicides with different modes of action throughout the crop rotation.
5. Regularly monitor the effectiveness of resistance management practices.
6. Test weed populations for herbicide resistance status as part of ongoing integrated weed management.
7. Growers should not plant Roundup Ready Flex* cotton, Roundup Ready* canola, TruFlex* canola or canola hybrids with the Optimum GLY® herbicide tolerance trait in paddocks with populations of confirmed glyphosate resistant weeds.

It is advised that consultation on Integrated Weed Management be undertaken with an accredited agronomist or program prior to use of CRUCIAL over Roundup Ready Flex* cotton, Roundup Ready* canola, TruFlex* canola or canola hybrids with the Optimum GLY® herbicide tolerance trait.

More information on Integrated Weed Management can be found at: • Australian Glyphosate Sustainability Working Group (AGSWG), ‘Sustainable glyphosate use in winter grain cropping’ • Weedsmart: • CropLife Australia:

As with conventional varieties, volunteer and ratoon Roundup Ready Flex* cotton, Roundup Ready* canola, TruFlex* canola or volunteer canola hybrids with the Optimum GLY® herbicide tolerance trait may occur in fallows, and non-cropping areas of a farm such as irrigation ditches, water storages, etc. These plants will not be controlled by CRUCIAL or other glyphosate (Group M) herbicides and should be controlled in both cropping and non-cropping areas. These plants are best managed with cultivation and/or appropriate registered herbicides (see Integrated Weed Management Strategy Guidelines above). Growers should ensure that they have an effective weed management strategy developed for the control of these weeds. Herbicide control options for these plants include the following (refer to product labels for further information on use situations): Agritone® 750, Alliance®, Amicide® Advance 700, Amitrole T, Associate®, Bentley®, Biffo®, Broadside®, Broadsword®, Bromicide® 200, Bromicide® MA, Comet® 400, Eliminar® C, Estercide® Xtra 680, Nail®240, Nail®600, Polo® 570 LVE, Revolver®, Sentry®, Shirquat® 250, T-Rex® and Unity®.

RESISTANT WEEDS REPORTING, AUDITING AND SURVEYING Users of CRUCIAL are required to report any adverse events, such as suspected weed resistance, to Nufarm, as soon as it is identified. Nufarm will investigate the incident and produce a report of any incidents of confirmed resistance of weeds to CRUCIAL in target weed species which are normally susceptible to this herbicide and forward the report as soon as practicable to the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority. Weeds identified to have survived CRUCIAL must be controlled by an alternative strategy in order to prevent weeds from setting seed. Users of CRUCIAL over Roundup Ready Flex* cotton, Roundup Ready* canola, TruFlex* canola or canola hybrids with the Optimum GLY® herbicide tolerance trait must allow Nufarm or its agents to undertake audits or surveys as necessary to assess management by users of the development of glyphosate resistance in target weeds. Nufarm or its agents will conduct an audit or survey annually on a percentage of fields where CRUCIAL has been used over Roundup Ready Flex* cotton, Roundup Ready* canola, TruFlex* canola or canola hybrids with the Optimum GLY® herbicide tolerance trait.

RE-ENTRY PERIOD: Re-entry is not allowed until the product has dried, 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.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NONTARGET PLANTS Avoid contact with foliage, green stems or fruit of crops, desirable plants and trees, since severe injury or destruction may result. DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures. DO NOT apply if wind is blowing towards a sensitive crop or situation and off-target damage cannot be avoided.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEA AND ENVIRONMENT DO NOT contaminate dams, rivers or streams with the product or used container. DO NOT apply to weeds growing in or over water. DO NOT spray across open bodies of water.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight.

ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS (WHS REGULATIONS 2011) Not required – Not classified as hazardous. Glyphosate is classified as non-carcinogenic by many international regulatory agencies. In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2A). In maintaining their position that glyphosate is non-carcinogenic, the regulatory agencies have taken the IARC classification into account.
