The product is non-selective and will control a wide range of emerged annual and perennial weeds. It provides no residual activity and is inactivated once it comes into contact with the soil. The product is absorbed by plant leaves and green stems and is then translocated throughout the plant to the root system. The product inhibits a plant enzyme causing a breakdown in the metabolic pathway leading to death of the plant. Visual effects of product efficacy are gradual wilting, yellowing leading to complete plant browning. For annual weeds effects are usually apparent in 3-7 days and for perennial weeds up to 14-21 days. The time taken for these effects to appear will vary depending on the speed of translocation which will be dependent on climatic conditions such as temperature, moisture conditions etc. Best results are obtained if plants are sprayed when they are actively growing and not under any stress from such factors as disease, waterlogging, insect damage, drought stress etc. Rain within 1 hour of application which causes run-off may require re-treatment. Rainfastness is reduced if weeds are not actively growing, under stress or conditions if low light intensity/darkness. The addition of Wetter TX may improve rainfastness on winter annual weeds. Plants which are covered in dust or which are wet with dew should not be treated. Crop Establishment Where the product is used to control weeds prior to the establishment of a new crop or pasture it is important that the crop or pasture not be sown until a suitable seed bed is present. Where a light cover of seedling annual weeds has been sprayed, it may be possible to sow after 1 hour of daylight after application. Where a large amount of dead weed matter or trash is present the seed bed needs to be adequately prepared before crop or pasture sowing. Application Sipcam Raze Herbicide may be applied by boom spray, air, knapsack, handgun or wiper application. Boom Application - Spray volumes of 25 - 100L water /ha are recommended with a fan nozzle at pressures of 240 -280 kPa. Boom height must be set to ensure double overlap of spray patterns at the top of the weed canopy. Wiper Equipment - (eg ropewick, canvas, carpet or felt applicators) may be used to apply the product in the situations as per the directions for use table.Weeds should be at least 15cm above the crop and the wiper equipment should be operated at least 10cm above the crop. Best results are obtained with lower speeds of application (do not exceed 8 kilometres per hour) and where two applications are made in opposite directions ie double pass. Where herbicide does not contact foliage (due to different levels of foliage) results may not be satisfactory and re-treatment may be required. Do not store a mixed solution for more than 2 days. Rate: 700mL of product to 2 litres of water. Aerial Application - Apply a minimum spray volume of 20L/ha for Micronair and boom equipment. Droplet size should be 250 - 350 micron and the swath width 15 -17 metres. Aerial application is only recommended in pasture or fallow situations before establishment of a new crop or pasture or in pre-harvest sorghum. On sloping ground, the spraying height may vary, so it is recommended that the spray volume be increased to 30 -80L/ha with a droplet size of at least 300 micron. Since the product is non-selective it is important to avoid spraying in conditions likely to cause drift. Eg wind over 8kph, temperature inversion, still air and hot dry days. DO NOT use in intensive horticultural areas. Use recommended rates specified in this label up to a maximum limit of 2.8L/ha. Application in hot conditions - When the temperature reaches 25C increase the water volume to at least 30L/ha and droplet size to at least 300 micron VMD to compensate for additional evaporation of sprayed droplets. DO NOT use by air in temperatures above 30C. Use of a Surfactant/Wetting Agent The addition of surfactant may improve weed control where water rates are high or product rates are low. Suggested surfactant rates are 200mL/100L of 1000g/L non-ionic surfactant or 250-500mL of 700g/L surfactant. Do not add spraying oils, agricultural chemicals or any other material except as directed on the label. Mixing When the product is to be mixed with water it is important that clean water be used. Dirty water or hard water containing calcium salts may reduce the product's effectiveness. The following procedure for mixing should be followed: 1. Ensure spray tank is clean and that previous chemicals used are washed from the tank. 2. Half fill the tank with clean water, add the required amount of Sipcam Raze Herbicide. 3. Add the rest of the water. 4. Add surfactant last. Compatibilities The product may be mixed with a variety of products to enhance weed control, to broaden the spectrum of weeds and to add residual control. Refer to the "Directions for Use" section for detailed information on the tank mix situations. Additives Crystalline Ammonium Sulphate assists in minimising antagonism when mixed with flowable Triazine herbicides. The only form of Ammonium sulphate to be used is the crystalline form (not prilled or granule forms). Test the quality by dissolving 2 tablespoons in 2 litres of water. Swirl gently for 2 minutes. Should undissolved particles still remain at the end of that time, pre-dissolve them prior to adding product to spray tank. Ensure solution is poured through a screen. Herbicides - Atrazine - flowable or granular (see additives above ? do not apply the tank mix for control of Barnyard grass or Liverseed grass), Simazine - flowable or granular, Diuron - flowable or granular, Dicamba, 2,4-D Ester, 2,4-D Amine 500, 2,4-D Amine 625, Express^, Garlon^, chlorsulfuron, metsulfuron, Yield^, Stomp^, Triasulfuron, LVE MCPA, Goal CT^, trifluralin. Goal CT - The addition of Goal CT at 75mL/ha to recommended rates of this product prior to planting Wheat or Barley will improve knockdown and increase the speed at which treated weeds develop visible symptoms of phytotoxicity. Add Flowright Compatibility agent to improve the compatibility in cold water. (less than 15C). See Directions below. Insecticides - Chlorpyrifos, dimethoate, fenitrothion, Le-Mat^, metasystox, Sumithion^, Perfekthion EC 400^. Flowright compatibility agent Rate: 200mL/100L spray solution. When mixing with Goal CT^, add to improve the compatibility in cold water (less than 15C). Flowright must be pre-mixed with Goal CT before adding to the spray tank. Refer to Flowright label for full directions. For tank mixing the following procedure should be undertaken: 1. Half fill tank and start agitator. 2. Add crystalline ammonium sulphate if required through mesh screen. 3. Add companion product. 4. Add Sipcam Raze Herbicide and rest of the water. 5. Add surfactant and maintain agitation while spraying. Equipment Maintenance and Usage Sipcam Raze Herbicide should ONLY be stored, mixed or applied in plastic or plastic lined, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, brass or fibreglass containers. The product and spray solutions react with galvanised steel and unlined steel tanks and containers to form hydrogen gas which may form a highly combustible gas mixture. This gas could cause an explosion if ignited by an open flame. All application equipment including tanks, nozzles, hoses, aircraft and aircraft landing gear, should be thoroughly washed after use to prevent corrosion. Resistance Warning Sipcam Raze Herbicide is a member of the Glycine group of herbicides. Sipcam Raze Herbicide has the Inhibitor of EPSP synthase mode of action. For weed resistance management Sipcam Raze Herbicide is a Group M Herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Sipcam Raze Herbicide 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 Sipcam Raze Herbicide or any other Group M herbicide. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Sipcam Pacific Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Sipcam Raze Herbicide to control resistant weeds. Protection of wildlife, fish, crustaceans and environment DO NOT contaminate dams, rivers or streams with the chemical or used containers. When controlling weeds near water, refer to label directions to minimise the entry of spray into the water. Protection of crop, native and other non-target plants This product is non selective and may severely injure or kill desirable plants should the product contact the foliage, green stems or fruit of such plants. DO NOT spray under meteorological conditions or under spraying conditions which could be expected to cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants, adjacent crops, crop lands or pastures. DO NOT use prior to transplanting tomato seedlings. Safety Directions Product will irritate the eyes and skin. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. When preparing product for use, wear elbow-length PVC gloves and face shield or goggles. When using controlled droplet applicator, wear protective clothing and impervious footwear. After use and before eating, drinking or smoking, wash hands, arms and face thoroughly with soap and water. After each day's use wash gloves, face shield and goggles and contaminated clothing. Storage Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well ventilated area. Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Disposal Triple or preferably pressure rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to the spray tank. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. If recycling return clean containers to recycler or point of sale. If not recycling break, crush, or puncture and bury containers at a local authority landfill. If not available bury the container below 500mm in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots. Empty containers and product should not be burnt. For refillable containers - empty contents fully into application equipment. Close all valves and return to point of supply for refill or storage. Precautions Caution DO NOT store, mix or apply the product or spray solutions in unlined steel or galvanised containers as a highly flammable gas may form. Use stainless steel, brass, copper, aluminium, plastic or plastic lined, fibreglass containers or spray tanks. Product details last updated on 28 Oct 2008
