Spray when plants are small. Best results are obtained when plants are small. Use high rate on larger plants. Spray after good emergence of seedlings. NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION. WITHHOLDING PERIODS: Pasture & Cereal Crops: DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT FOR STOCK FOOD FOR 7 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION. IN TASMANIA, THIS PRODUCT MAY ONLY BE USED FROM 15 APRIL TO 15 SEPTEMBER UNLESS OTHERWISE PERMITTED BY THE REGISTRAR OF PESTICIDES. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: Abound™ 400 is a water soluble liquid product with non-selective herbicidal activity against broadleaf weeds. Abound 400 will control emerged weeds only and provides no residual control although certain plant back periods should be observed. Abound 400 is absorbed by plant foliage and accumulates to toxic levels in the regions of growth and reproduction, upsetting the ability of plants to balance the synthesis and use of nutrients. Visible effects are a gradual yellowing and wilting of the plants which advances to complete browning of above ground growth and deterioration of root systems. Effects may not be apparent for 7-10 days or even up to 21 days under cold or cloudy conditions. DO NOT treat weeds under poor growing or dormant conditions such as occur in drought, water-logging, disease, insect damage, following frost, weeds heavily covered with dust or silt. Reduced results may also occur if weeds are under stress from previous herbicide application. Rainfall occuring up to 6 hours after application may reduce effectiveness. DO NOT spray if strong winds prevail. 6 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 MINIMUM RECROPPING PERIODS FOR ABOUND 400 APPLICATION RATE L/ha Up to 0.825 0.825 - 1.725 ABOUND 400 CROP 1.725 - 2.55 Plant - back Periods (Days) Barley ➊ 1 1 3 Triticale ➊ Wheat ➊ 1 3 7 Oats 3 3 7 Sorghum ❸ 3 7 10 Balansa clover Faba beans Lentils Lucerne Medic Narbon beans Perennial ryegrass Persian clover Phalaris Subterranean clover Vetch White clover 7 7 10 Linseed Rice 7 7 14 Sunflower ❸ 7 10 14 Field peas 7 14 14 Chickpeas ➋ Lupins ❹ Safflower ➋ 7 14 21 Navy beans 10 10 14 Cotton l e b a L n e m i c e p S 10 14 21 Soybeans 14 14 21 Canola / Rapeseed ➋ 14 21 28 IMPORTANT: WHEN APPLIED TO DRY SOILS AT LEAST 15 mm OF RAIN MUST FALL PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE PLANT-BACK PERIOD. NOTES: ➊ In Queensland, no rainfall is required to fall prior to commencement of plant-back period for wheat, barley and triticale. ➋ In Queensland, planting of canola / rapeseed, chickpeas and safflower must be delayed for at least 14 days following rainfall of at least 15 mm. ❸ In Central Queensland, when using 1.2 L/ha or less of Abound 400, the plant-back period for sorghum and sunflower is 1 day irrespective of rainfall. ❹ In WA the plant-back period for lupins at all rates is 28 days. NOTE: Before using Abound 400 in tank mixes with other herbicides, check the plant-back information on all product labels. The time between spraying and planting will be determined by the most residual products, i.e. the product with the longest plant-back period. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 7 ABOUND 400 COMPATIBILITY HERBICIDES Abound 400 is compatible in tank mixes with atrazine, chlorsulfuron, dicamba, dimethoate, glyphosate e.g. Ripper™ 480, Lorsban™ 500 EC, metsulfuron-methyl, omethoate, paraquat/diquat (e.g. Spray•Seed®), phosmet, and simazine. INSECTICIDES Dimethoate, Lorsban™ 500EC, omethoate and phosmet can be introduced into the tank mix for specific control to prevent insect damage to emerging crops. When chlorsulfuron or metsulfuron-methyl herbicides are included in the mixture a minimum spray volume of 30 L/ha are recommended. When simazine is included in the mixture a minimum spray volume of 100 L/ha is recommended. Flat fan nozzle equipment is recommended using pressures in the range 240-280 kPa. Boom height must be set to ensure double overlap of nozzle patterns at the top of the weed canopy. AERIAL EQUIPMENT Application of Abound 400/glyphosate mixtures using either Micronair® or boom equipment should occur in a minimum spray volume of 15 L/ha. Droplets with an average size of 250-350 micron diameter are recommended. Swath width should be 15-17 metres. Application under hot conditions: High temperature and/or low relative humidity cause excessive evaporation of spray droplets which may reduce results. When temperatures reach 25°C increase water volume to 30 L/Ha, and increase droplet size to at least 300 micron diameter. DO NOT apply by aircraft when temperature is above 35°C. DO NOT use in intensive horticultural cropping areas. Thoroughly wash aircraft, especially landing gear after each day of spraying to remove herbicide residues. l e b a L n e m i c e p S SURFACTANT ADDITION DO NOT add surfactant except for CONSERVATION TILLAGE where the product is to be tank mixed with a glyphosate product. In this situation always add a 100% non-ionic surfactant in accordance with label directions on the glyphosate product. DO NOT mix with spraying oils, or any other materials or agricultural chemicals except as directed on this label. TANK MIXTURES The Abound 400 DIRECTIONS FOR USE on this label are designed to be used as a tank mixture with glyphosate herbicides. However as shown in the compatibility and surfactant addition sections of this label, it is possible to extend/improve weed control to include other foliage applied and/or residual herbicides and adjuvants. A mixture of Abound 400 and glyphosate may be tank mixed with the following herbicides, insecticides and adjuvants where recommended in the Directions for Use tables. Read and follow all label Directions, RESTRAINTS and PLANT-BACK PERIODS, WITHHOLDING PERIODS and SAFETY DIRECTIONS for the tank mix products. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS Abound 400 mixes readily with water. Ensure the spray tank is free of any residue of previous spray materials. 1. Fill the spray tank with clean water to one half of the required amount and start agitation. Do not use mechanical agitators as these may cause excessive foaming when herbicides are added. 2. Where an acidifying surfactant such as LI-700 is recommended at either 100 mL or 300 mL/100 L, add to tank through top mesh screen. 3. Add recommended herbicide additive / insecticide to the spray tank and mix thoroughly. 4. Add Abound 400 and mix thoroughly. 5. Add the glyphosate product and the remaining water. 6. When a non-ionic surfactant is used, add near the end of the filling process to minimise foaming. 7. Always maintain adequate agitation during application and use the tank mix promptly. APPLICATION BOOM EQUIPMENT Application of Abound 400/glyphosate mixtures in spray volumes of 25-100 L/ha is recommended. 8 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE Spray solutions of Abound 400 and glyphosate should be mixed, stored and applied only in stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper, fibreglass, plastic-lined containers. Do not mix, store or apply spray solutions in galvanised steel or unlined steel (except stainless steel) containers or spray tanks. Abound 400 and glyphosate spray solutions may react with such containers and tanks to produce hydrogen gas which may form a highly combustible gas mixture that can flash or explode if ignited by open flame, spark, welder’s torch, lighted cigarette or other ignition source. CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT Thoroughly clean all equipment after use either by using hot soapy water or 1% solution of ammonia followed by several clean water rinses or use a proprietary cleaner such as Spraymate® Tank & Equipment Cleaner. If using sulfonylurea herbicides such as chlorsulfuron or metsulfuron-methyl, follow decontamination procedures detailed on those product labels. RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING Abound 400 Herbicide is a member of the Phenoxys group of herbicides. Abound 400 has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management Abound 400 is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Abound 400 and other Group I 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 Abound 400 or other Group I herbicides. PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NONTARGET PLANTS. Drift Warning: Direct spray contact or even slight drift may cause severe injury or destruction of any growing crop or other desirable plants including trees and native vegetation. DO NOT use when breeze is blowing towards nearby desirable plants. DO NOT apply under meteorological conditions or from spraying equipment that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants, adjacent crops, crop lands or pastures. Equipment settings which produce fine droplets (150 microns or less), winds over 8 km/h, “still air” and hot dry days all contribute to drift. Avoid spray drift onto susceptible crops such as cotton, tobacco, tomatoes, flowers, vegetables, vines, fruit trees, legume crops and pastures, oil seed crops or other susceptible crops and trees (eg Kurrajongs, Belahs, Eucalypts). DO NOT use unless wind speed is more than 3 kilometres per hour and less than 15 kilometres per hour as measured at the application site. DO NOT apply with smaller than coarse to very coarse spray droplets according to the ASABE S572 definition for standard nozzles. SAFETY DIRECTIONS • Poisonous if swallowed. • Avoid contact with eyes and skin. • DO NOT inhale spray mist. • When preparing spray, wear PVC or rubber apron, elbow length PVC gloves and face shield. • When using the prepared spray, wear face shield. If product on skin, immediately wash area with soap and water. • 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 contaminated clothing. ABOUND 400 Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Abound 400 to control resistant weeds. l e b a L n e m i c e p S PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK FIRST AID If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre.

Cockspur thorn Corymbia spp. Leucaena Parkinsonia NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION. FOR NATIVE VEGETATION Use of Access on native vegetation must be done in accordance with STATE and/or LOCAL legislation. WITHHOLDING PERIOD: The use pattern of this product is such that no withholding periods are required. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 13 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS MIXING Access herbicide is designed for use with diesel distillate only. It will NOT mix with water. Quarter fill the spray unit or mixing container with diesel and add the required amount of Access. Add the remaining diesel and shake or agitate thoroughly to mix the contents. Only mix sufficient chemical for each day’s work, mixing periodically. CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT Access is compatible with diesel and should not be used or diluted with any other chemicals. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and watercourses. After completion of spraying, use a degreaser such as Caltex Kwik-D-Grease® to remove traces of diesel from the sprayer. Rinse tank and spray through nozzles thoroughly with water to remove degreaser. After the above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and add a alkali detergent, (e.g. liquid SURF®, OMO®, DRIVE® at 500 mL/100L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100L of water). If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Shake the water around the sprayer and spray the solution through the nozzles to thoroughly clean the lines and nozzles. Rinse well with clean water to remove detergent. To clean brushes and container, spray liberally with degreaser. Hose off thoroughly with water and repeat using detergents (see above). DO NOT use this equipment for any other purpose. GENERAL APPLICATION RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING Dilution Table: l e b a L n e m i c e p S RATE ACCESS Cut Stump Method Stems should be cut less than 15 cm above ground level. Immediately apply Access/diesel mixture liberally to the freshly cut stump by spraying the cut surface and sides of the stem. VOLUME OF ACCESS HERBICIDE 1 L/60 L 17 mL 83 mL 167 mL 250 mL 2 L/60 L 33 mL 167 mL 333 mL 500 mL 4 L/60 L 67 mL 333 mL 667 mL 1L 1 L/10 L 100 mL 500 mL 1L 1.5 L Volume of diesel added after Access fill to 1L fill to 5L fill to 10 L fill to 15 L COMPATIBILITY Apply only with hand-directed equipment such as a pneumatic sprayer. The use of diesel as a herbicide carrier may affect the rubber seals in some sprayers. To avoid this, use sprayers, which use Viton® seals and fittings. Spray equipment should be used at low pressures, up to 200 kPa, to avoid splashing. Ensure all stems on multi-stemmed varieties are treated. Delay treatment until all regrowth on bulldozed or ploughed land has had time to emerge to a height of at least 1 metre. Species that lose their leaves e.g. sweet briar; or become dormant, e.g. Australian blackthorn or camphor laurel, should not be treated during winter. Species with old, rough bark require more thorough wetting than the smooth barked species. DO NOT apply to charcoal coated or wet stems as this can repel the diesel mixture. Basal Bark Application Method Dilute the indicated volume of Access Herbicide with diesel up to a total volume of 60 L. Liberally spray the bark around the stem from ground level to 30 cm high, wetting thoroughly to the point of runoff (unless otherwise stated). Access™ ThinLine basal bark application method: Alternatively, the application band can be reduced to 5 cm high but with the concentration increased proportionally (one part Access diluted with 9 parts diesel) for the treatment of the smooth stemmed woody weed species: Acacia spp. (excluding Mimosa bush), Cockspur thorn, Corymbia spp., Leucaena and Parkinsonia, also indicated with asterisks in the Directions for Use tables. 14 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 Access Herbicide is a member of the pyridines group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management the product is a Group I Herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I 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 I Herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Access Herbicide 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 local Dow AgroSciences representative. Treat target weeds only. DO NOT allow mixture to contact non-target species. DO NOT use on land to be cultivated for growing sensitive plants. Legumes, vines, vegetables, cotton, tomatoes, ornamentals, coniferous species and many other broadleaf plants are highly susceptible to Access during both growing and dormant periods. Picloram, one of the active ingredients in this product, can remain active in the soil for extended periods depending on soil type, rainfall, temperature, humidity, soil moisture and soil organic matter. DO NOT move soil, which has been sprayed, to areas where desirable plants are to be grown. DO NOT apply when the treated soil may be washed to areas growing, or to be planted with desirable plants. DO NOT apply close to, or on, areas containing roots of desirable plants, or sites where surface water from heavy rain can be expected to run off to areas containing, or to be planted to, susceptible crops or plants. SAFETY DIRECTIONS • Harmful if swallowed. • Will irritate the eyes, nose, throat and skin. • Repeated exposure may cause allergic disorders. • Avoid contact with eyes and skin. • Avoid inhaling vapour or spray mist. • When opening the container and preparing spray and using the prepared spray, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrists, a washable hat and elbow-length neoprene gloves and a face shield or goggles. • If product on skin, immediately wash area with soap and water. • If product in eyes, wash it out immediately with water. • 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 or goggles and contaminated clothing. l e b a L n e m i c e p S PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK, WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers.

Observe any mixing sequence instructions mentioned on the tank mix products. RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING Dow AgroSciences Amine 625 Herbicide is a member of the Phenoxys group of herbicides. Amine 625 has the disruptors of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management Amine 625 is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Amine 625 and other Group I 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 amine 625 or other Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Amine 625 to control resistant weeds. 30 DO NOT spray in high winds. DO NOT spray cereals if lucerne is present. DO NOT spray crops or weeds outside the stages indicated in "CRITICAL COMMENTS" as damage, loss of yield or inadequate weed control may result. Drift Warning: 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. Avoid spray drift onto susceptible crops such as cotton, tobacco, tomatoes, vines, fruit trees, vegetables, legume crops and pastures, oilseed crops and susceptible trees (e.g. Kurrajongs, Belahs and Eucalypts). DO NOT use unless wind speed is more than 3 kilometres per hour and less than 15 kilometres per hour, as measured at the application site. DO NOT apply with smaller than coarse to very coarse spray droplets according to the ASABE S572 definition for standard nozzles. l e b a L n e m i c e p S Equipment that has been used for this chemical should not be used for the application of other materials to sensitive plants, unless it has been well washed out with hot soapy water or 1% solution of ammonia, followed by several clear water rinses.

DO NOT apply apply more than twice per year in any crop. Wine grapes: DO NOT apply later than 80% capfall. In the following table, all rates are given for dilute spraying. For concentrate spraying refer to the “Concentrate Spraying” Section. TREE AND VINE CROPS Citrus including: Oranges Lemons Mandarins Grapefruit Limes INSECT PEST RATE/100 L WATER CRITICAL COMMENTS Red scale, White louse scale, Longtail mealybug, Citrus mealybug, Citrophilous mealybug 30 - 60 mL Scales: Apply when there is heavy crawler emergence, particularly in late summer. Where the infestation is severe, a second application may be required 14 - 28 days later. Applaud® Insecticide works best in an integrated pest management (IPM) programme where parasites such as Aphytis spp. are active. Mealybugs: Apply if thresholds are exceeded in spring-summer. Repeat after 21 - 28 days if necessary. Rate: Use the high rate when heavy infestations of the pests occur and/or where IPM systems have not effectively managed pest populations. Jassids (leafhoppers) 30 mL Apply when thresholds are exceeded in January and again in February if required. Apply when juvenile stages predominate. Custard apples Mealybugs, Scale insects 30 - 60 mL Apply a maximum of two sprays per season, 21 days apart, as a high volume cover spray to run-off using air blast or high volume hydraulic nozzles. Grapes Longtail mealybug and Tuber mealybug 30 - 60 mL Apply twice, 14 - 21 days apart, starting when the first emergence of crawlers is observed. Use the high rate when heavy infestations occur and/or where IPM systems have not effectively managed pest populations. Mangos Mango scale 60 mL Passion fruit Mealybugs, Scale insects 30 - 60 mL Apply a maximum of two sprays per season, 21 days apart when significant pest infestations develop. Apply as a high volume cover spray to run-off using air blast or high volume hydraulic nozzles. Pears Longtail mealybug 30 - 60 mL Apply twice, 10 - 14 days apart between swollen bud and the end of flowering in sufficient volume to ensure the bark is soaked, with thorough coverage to the point of run-off. Use the high rate when heavy infestations occur and/or where IPM systems have not effectively managed pest populations, particularly under harsh environmental conditions. Persimmons Mealybugs, Scale insects 60 mL APPLAUD l e b a L n e m i c e p S Monitor scales and apply when the majority of crawlers have emerged. This usually coincides with tree flushing after harvest and in spring when fruit are 1.5 to 2.0 cm across. A repeat application within 14 - 28 days may be necessary. DO NOT use mineral oils as fruit blotching may occur. Apply a maximum of two sprays per season, 14 days apart. Apply when the first batch of scale or mealybug crawlers occur after winter. NOTE: To optimise control of mealybugs in most crops it is critical to time treatment to coincide with the first emergence of crawlers. If it is intended to release Cryptolaemus ladybeetles as part of an IPM system, the last application of Applaud should be made no later than 60 days before the anticipated release date. NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 33 WITHHOLDING PERIODS (HARVEST): Passion Fruit: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 1 DAY AFTER APPLICATION Custard Apple: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 2 WEEKS AFTER APPLICATION Citrus, Mango & Persimmon: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 4 WEEKS AFTER APPLICATION Pears & Table Grapes: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 8 WEEKS AFTER APPLICATION l e b a L n e m i c e p S Wine Grapes: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED (i.e. DO NOT apply Applaud after 80% capfall). Crops such as table grapes grown for export may require a longer interval before harvest to comply with residue standards of importing countries. Please check with your exporter before using Applaud Insecticide. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS APPLAUD EXAMPLE ONLY 1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example 1500 L/ha 2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example 500 L/ha 3. The concentration factor in this example is: 3 X (ie 1500 L ÷ 500 L = 3) 4. As the lower dilute label rate is 30 mL/100 L, then the corresponding concentrate rate becomes 3 x 30, that is 90 mL/100 L of concentrate spray. The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water, and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. Do not use a concentrate rate higher than that specified in the Critical Comments. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow Industry Best Practices. Application Instructions: Citrus Only Apply Applaud Insecticide in sufficient water to ensure complete wetting of all surfaces. Oscillating booms A spray volume of 7,000 to 12,000 L water/ha should be used for trees up to 5m high. To optimise control the following application procedures are recommended: a) ground speed 2.3 to 2.75 km/h b) pump pressure 3000 to 5000 kPa c) oscillation rate 90 - 110 oscillations per minute d) spray pattern adjacent cones marrying at about 1.75 m (i.e. narrow cone angle, but the maximum angle consistent with good tree penetration). e) agitation 1 large paddle per 500 L; paddles should clear the bottom of the vat by about 10 mm and should have the same orientation. f) boom set set angle of top to match tree size. Airblast sprayers Airblast sprayers may be used for control of jassids/ leafhoppers, but are less suitable for control of scales and mealy bugs. For jassid control, use spray volumes of approximately 5000 L/ha. Mixing/Application Prior to pouring, shake container vigorously, then add the required quantity of Applaud Insecticide to water in the spray vat while stirring or with agitators in motion. Dilute Spraying Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the Directions for Use table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of run-off. The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to be changed, as the crop grows. Concentrate Spraying Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see Dilute Spraying above) for the crop canopy. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way: 34 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 COMPATIBILITY Applaud Insecticide is compatible with Dithane™ Rainshield™ Neo Tec™ Fungicide and a number of other agricultural chemicals commonly used on the same crops. Please contact your supplier or Dow AgroSciences representative for further information on compatibility. Applaud Insecticide is not compatible with Sacoa BioPest® Oil or with products that are highly alkaline or highly acidic. CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT PROTECTION OF NON-TARGET INSECTS After using Applaud Insecticide, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose, drain the tank and clean all filters in the tank, pump, lines and nozzles. After cleaning the tank and filters as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pumps, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area, or if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from plants and water courses. Applaud Insecticide at label rates of 30 to 60 mL/100 L water has been demonstrated to be safe to a range of predatory and beneficial insects including bumblebees and honeybees, parasitoid wasps such as Aphytis lignanensis, Leptomastix dactylopii and Encarsia spp., predatory mites such as Phytoseiulus persimilis and Typhlodromus occidentalis and the green lacewing (Mallada signatus). Applaud Insecticide has no significant effect on adult ladybeetles but is known to be toxic to early instars of Cryptolaemus montrouzieri, Chilocorus circumdatus and Harmonia conformis. Applaud Insecticide may also affect egg hatch of these species for 2 to 3 weeks after application. l e b a L n e m i c e p S INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING For insecticide resistance management Applaud is a Group 16 insecticide. To minimise the risk of resistance developing, a total of no more than two applications of Applaud Insecticide should be made on a crop per season. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Applaud and other Group 16 insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Applaud or other Group 16 insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Applaud on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Applaud to control resistant insects. Applaud may be subject to specific resistance management strategies.

DO NOT apply directly into floodwater either by SCWIIRT (Soluble Chemical Water Injection into Rice Technique) or the aerial Bickley Boom. Apply only as a foliar spray. DO NOT treat weeds if mud, cracks or firm soil have appeared throughout fields prior to treatment, as poor control will result due to moisture stress. CROP/SITUATION: Barnstorm Herbicide may be applied to any direct seeded rice crop (combine sown, sodseeded, dry broadcast sown followed by flooding and aerial sown into flooded bays) from the 1-2 leaf stage up to late tillering of the rice. Within these rice stages, choose the rate and timing as required by the growth stage of the target weeds (see below). l e b a L n e m i c e p S WEEDS CONTROLLED WEED GROWTH STAGE RATE (L/ha) CRITICAL COMMENTS Always use Integrated Weed Management (IWM) practices for best weed control and to limit development of weed resistance. For best IWM, the application of alternate mode of action grass herbicides as a pre-plant, pre-emergence and/or at sowing treatment prior to Barnstorm is recommended. Barnyard grasses (Echinochloa spp.) Silver top (Leptochloa fusca) Barnyard grasses (Echinochloa spp.) 3 to 5 leaf 0.75 - 1 L/ha + 1 L/ha Uptake™ Spraying Oil 1 to 2 tillers (early tillering) 1 L/ha + 1 L/ha Uptake™ Spraying Oil 3 to 4 tillers (mid tillering) 1-1.5 L/ha + 1 L/ha Uptake™ Spraying Oil Barnstorm Herbicide must be applied directly to the foliage of actively growing weeds by aircraft or ground boom equipment. Apply post-flooding. Water must be at least 1-2 cm deep in fields at spraying to ensure active growth of weeds and sufficient exposure of weeds to allow coverage by the foliar spray. See under General Instructions – Water Management. Commence reflooding after 2 hours and fill as soon as possible to limit germination of new weeds and maximise weed control. Only use 0.75L/ha for 3-5 leaf weeds when light weed infestations, excellent soil moisture and good crop competition is present. Use the 1L/ha rate if any of these conditions are not present at treatment time. Use 1.5 L/ha to treat larger weeds. Only weed suppression (reduced seedset) will be obtained if Barnstorm is applied to advanced grass weeds (5 tiller or larger), high weed densities and/or moisture stressed weeds. NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION. HARVEST WITHHOLDING PERIOD: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED. GRAZING WITHHOLDING PERIOD: DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT FOR STOCK FOOD FOR 8 WEEKS AFTER APPLICATION. DRAINAGE WITHHOLDING PERIOD: DO NOT drain water into regional drains within 7 days after Barnstorm Herbicide application or as defined by the local irrigation authority, whichever is the greater time period. 38 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 sufficient solution for immediate use. Barnstorm and any other tank mixes should be applied immediately for best results. Barnstorm Herbicide is a member of the aryloxyphenoxy propionate group of herbicides. The product has the acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitor mode of action. For weed resistance management Barnstorm Herbicide is a Group A herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other 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 the product or other Group A herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of the product to control resistant weeds. APPLICATION Aerial Application conditions - DO NOT apply under hot, dry conditions which could adversely affect spray deposition on the target weeds. Spray volume - Apply by an accurately calibrated aircraft using a minimum water volume of 40 L/ha for early season application to pretillered weeds when rice canopy is open and light. Later in the season when rice canopy is closed over and heavy, use 80 L/ha or more to achieve effective spray coverage of tillered weeds. Spray quality - Aim to apply medium quality spray (BCPC/ ASABE S-572), throughout the season. Mixing for odd shaped rice bays - ensure the area to be treated receives the full recommended rate after allowing for spray out of headlands, banks or other obstacles and clean up runs. To achieve this Barnstorm Herbicide rate may need to be increased by 10%. Swath width - Do not exceed the optimum swath width recommended for the particular make and model of the aircraft to minimise the likelihood of striping and poorer control. Precautionary Statement: DO NOT use human flaggers/ markers unless they are protected by engineering controls such as enclosed cabs. Ground Apply using a vehicle mounted boom to enable application when floodwater is present, using a minimum water volume of 100 L/ha. Sprayers should aim to apply medium quality spray based on BCPC specifications and in accordance with ASABE S-572. l e b a L n e m i c e p S GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Barnstorm Herbicide is a post-emergence foliar herbicide for selective control of specific grass weeds in drilled and water seeded rice. Barnstorm Herbicide does not provide pre-emergence or soil residual weed control. Only actively growing grass weeds already emerged at the time of treatment are controlled. Barnstorm Herbicide will not control broadleaf weeds or sedges. WATER MANAGEMENT There must be at least 1 to 2 cm of water in fields at spraying to ensure active growth of weeds while allowing adequate exposure of weeds to the foliar spray. Use steel wheeled tractor, all wheel drive motorbike (or similar) ground boom sprayers or aeroplanes to ensure Barnstorm is applied when water is present in fields to be treated. For 3-5 leaf weeds, ensure that 75% of foliage is exposed above floodwater. For 1-2 tiller weeds, tillers and 75% of foliage must be exposed above floodwater. DO NOT treat weeds if mud, cracks or firm soil have appeared throughout fields prior to treatment, as poor control will result due to moisture stress. For 3-5 leaf weeds ensure that 75% of foliage is exposed above floodwater and for 1-2 tiller weeds all tillers and 75% of foliage must be exposed above floodwater. MIXING Add water to the spray tank to 10 cm above the level of agitation and ensure the agitation device is working vigorously. If tank mixing, firstly add any soluble liquid formulations and allow agitation for approximately one minute. Then add Barnstorm at the point where agitation is strongest. Allow further agitation for one minute. Half fill the spray tank. If using wettable powder or water dispersible granules, or other emulsifiable concentration formulations (e.g. Lorsban™ 500 EC Insecticide) these should be added after the Barnstorm to the half-full spray tank, ensuring vigorous agitation. Finally add Uptake™ Spraying Oil and continue filling the tank to the required volume, maintaining agitation at all times. Only mix COMPATIBILITY Barnstorm Herbicide can be tank mixed with Lorsban™ 500 EC Insecticide or with the herbicide pendimethalin. DO NOT apply Barnstorm as a tank mix with MCPA, Basagran® M60, bensulfuron methyl or carfentrazone as reduced grass weed control will occur. If these products are to be used in the same spray program as Barnstorm, separate applications by at least 7 days. ™ Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company (“Dow”) or an affiliated company of Dow ® Basagran M60 Herbicide Registered trademark of BASF Australia Ltd CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT If broadleaf herbicides, particularly sulfonylureas, have been used in the spray equipment at any time prior to use of Barnstorm, particular care should be taken to follow the directions on the relevant broadleaf herbicide label for equipment cleaning, or damage to the rice may occur. After using Barnstorm, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose, drain the tank and clean any filters in the tank, pump, line and nozzles. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 39 BARNSTORM RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING BARNSTORM To rinse: After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. To decontaminate: Before spraying other cereals, maize, sorghum or other sensitive crops, wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Then quarter fill the tank and add an alkali detergent at 500 mL/100 L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100 L of water, and circulate throughout the system for at least fifteen minutes. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow to drain. Chlorine-based cleaners are not recommended. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area, or if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and water sources. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Store in the closed original container in a cool, wellventilated area. Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. DO NOT store near feedstuffs, fertilisers or seeds. This container can be recycled if it is clean, dry, free of visible residues and has the drumMUSTER logo visible. Triple or pressure rinse container for disposal. Dispose of rinsate by adding to the spray tank. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. Wash outside of the container and the cap. Store cleaned container in a sheltered place with cap removed. It will then be acceptable for recycling at any drumMUSTER collection or similar container management site. The cap should not be replaced but may be taken separately. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and deliver empty packaging for appropriate disposal 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. l e b a L n e m i c e p S RE-ENTRY PERIOD DO NOT allow entry into treated areas for irrigation and scouting until the spray has dried unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Hand harvesting should not be allowed for 5 days after product application. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use. PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS Other cereals (eg. maize and sorghum) and grasses (eg. seed crops, turf) are highly sensitive to damage from Barnstorm Herbicide, as may be non-target native grasses/vegetation. Maintain a buffer zone of at least 50 m downwind from these for aerial applications. Peaches and nectarines are very sensitive to spotting from spray drift. Ensure that these crops are more than 5 kms downwind before spraying Barnstorm Herbicide by air and 200 m downwind when applying by ground. DO NOT rotate treated land to crops other than rice for 3 months after application. 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. PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK DO NOT graze or cut treated crop for stock food except as specified under withholding periods. PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Barnstorm Herbicide is toxic to aquatic organisms. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used container. DO NOT drain water into regional drains within 7 days after Barnstorm Herbicide application or as defined by the local irrigation authority, which ever is the greater time period. 40 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 SMALL SPILL MANAGEMENT Wear protective equipment (see SAFETY DIRECTIONS section).

DO NOT apply to plants which have suffered frosting for extended periods. Allow at least 2 days frost free prior to treatment. DO NOT apply post-emergence treatments if rain is likely within 4 hours. DO NOT irrigate (any method) treated crop or pasture for 48 hours after application. l e b a L n e m i c e p S DO NOT apply to crops affected by disease or by previous herbicide treatment (eg triazines or sulfonylureas). CROP GROWTH STAGES CROP TOLERANCE SPRAY ADDITIVES/TANK MIXES DO NOT use any spray additives, or tank mix any other chemicals with Broadstrike™ Herbicide when using on chickpeas or field peas. Chickpeas 4-6 branches (no later than 6 weeks after emergence) Broadstrike™ Herbicide usually causes some transient crop yellowing and can cause reddish discolouration and height suppression. Flowering may be delayed resulting in yield suppression. Field Peas 2 to 6 nodes (no later than 6 weeks after emergence) Broadstrike™ may cause transient crop yellowing and height suppression. On light soils in dry seasons flowering may be delayed resulting in yield suppression. Lentils 4-8 fully expanded leaves DO NOT apply later than 6 weeks after crop emergence Broadstrike™ may cause transient height reduction, crop discolouration and delayed flowering, although yields are normally unaffected. However, stress conditions after application (eg. frost, drought, nutrient deficiency, disease) may lengthen the time needed for lentils to recover. In seasons where a dry spring occurs, yields may be suppressed. Tank mixes with other products may result in growth suppression and delayed flowering which can result in yield suppression. Uptake™ Spraying Oil at 500 mL/100 L or BS-1000 at 200 mL/100 L may be applied with Broadstrike™ to lentils.

For prevention of wild radish and turnip weed seed set, apply in a minimum spray volume of 100 L/ha from the ground or 50 L/ha from aircraft. Some re-growth may occur when wet conditions prevail after treatment. Do not use this technique if you have already applied a Group B herbicide to the crop or pasture this season. Only use this salvage spray technique with Broadstrike once per cropping cycle to minimise the development of herbicide resistance. If you suspect herbicide resistance in broadleaved weeds do not use this technique. DO NOT use a Broadstrike salvage spray in pastures for seed production. WARNING: Weeds that have not started to flower at application time may not be controlled by the salvage spray technique. For wild radish, time treatment to coincide with green, soft pods prior to embryo maturation in seeds. Squeeze pod between finger nails to see if any “green/white seeds” are present. Best time to treat is before seeds are visible. Use 50 g/ha only in established grazing lucerne clover, medic and legume/grass pastures.

LIVESTOCK DESTINED FOR EXPORT MARKETS The grazing withholding period only applies to stock slaughtered for the domestic market. Some export markets apply different standards. To meet these standards, ensure that in addition to complying with the grazing withholding period, that the Export Slaughter Interval is observed before stock are sold or slaughtered. EXPORT SLAUGHTER INTERVAL (ESI) – 7 days: After observing the withholding period for grazing or cutting for stock food, livestock that have been grazed on or fed treated crops should be placed on clean feed for 7 days prior to slaughter. EXPORT ANIMAL FEED INTERVAL (EAFI) – 28 days: (Fenugreek, lathyrus, lucerne, pasture and serradella only) A minimum period of 28 days must elapse between the application of Broadstrike Herbicide and grazing or cutting the treated pasture as stockfeed for livestock intended for export. 58 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 MINIMUM RECROPPING PERIODS: Broadstrike is broken down in the soil by microbial activity. Warm, moist soil conditions favour highest microbial activity and quickest residue breakdown. For the recropping periods NNSW & Qld refers to summer dominant rainfall areas, where crops are grown on deep black earth soils (vertisols), with no impermeable sub-horizon in the top 30cm. SNSW, Vic, Tas, SA and WA refers to winter dominant rainfall areas on soils with no impermeable sub-horizon in the top 30cm. Also see the comments on rainfall and soil type below. CROP RATE (g/ha) REGION NNSW, Qld SNSW, Vic, Tas, SA, WA Cereal rye, medics, triticale, wheat, maize or soybeans 25 or 50 May be planted at any time after Broadstrike application May be planted at any time after Broadstrike application Barley, chickpeas, clover, field peas, lucerne, oats and peanuts 25 3 months 3 months 50 6 months 9 months Cotton, sorghum or sunflowers 25 6 months - 50 9 months - Canola, faba beans, fenugreek, lathyrus, lentils, lupins, serradella or Popany vetch 25 6 months 9 months 50 9 months 12 months BROADSTRIKE l e b a L n e m i c e p S Rainfall – is required to maintain soil wetness for at least one week over the warm months to enable microbial degradation of herbicide residues to allow safe planting of sensitive crops. For SNSW, Victoria, Tasmania, SA and WA a minimum of 25 mm and preferably 50 mm or more rain must have fallen over the warm months of the year. For NNSW and Qld a minimum of 50 mm and preferably 100 mm rain or more must have fallen over the warm months of the year. Soil type - on shallow, duplex, low organic matter soils with an impermeable sub-horizon within the root zone (30 cm deep or less) and alkaline surface soil, sensitive crops should NOT be planted until 2 years after application of Broadstrike at either 25 or 50 g/ha. (For crops grown in NNSW and Qld on soils other than vertisols, call Dow AgroSciences or your local reseller for more advice). PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 59 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS APPLICATION Broadstrike granules in water soluble bags readily disperse in water and will do so once added to fast moving water. Maintain agitation at all times, including during mixing as well as spraying. Only mix sufficient spray solution for immediate use and avoid storing. • Ground Application: Apply Broadstrike in 50 to 150 litres of water per hectare through a calibrated sprayer that delivers at least medium quality spray as defined by the American Society of Biological Engineers Standard S572. MIXING Spray rigs with premix hoppers l e b a L n e m i c e p S For spray rigs that have a drop down chemical induction hopper, three-quarter fill this hopper with water and have the rinsing sprinkler operating. Add the Broadstrike™ water soluble bags and when they are dissolved and the granules are dispersed, transfer this batch into the quarter filled main tank. Continue to rinse the hopper until the entire product has washed through. BROADSTRIKE • DO NOT apply Broadstrike under conditions likely to cause drift onto waterways, susceptible crops or land to be planted with susceptible crops. Unsuitable conditions are dead calm, excessive wind and/or small droplets. Spray rigs with limited bypass agitation When Broadstrike is added to the spray tank in water soluble bags, for spray rigs that have limited bypass agitation, then as for most granulated formulations, re-disperse the Broadstrike™ in a bucket before adding them to the main tank. Add Broadstrike while stirring until the granules have dispersed. Tankmixes – this order should be followed: 1. Quarter fill the spray tank and agitate 2. Add Broadstrike using the mixing procedure above 3. Add Verdict™ 520 if to be used 4. Half fill the spray tank 5. Add wettable powders, dry flowables, suspension concentrates, soluble liquids and/or emulsifiable concentrates 6. Add Uptake™ Spraying Oil when half full 7. Other adjuvants add according to their label 8. Add water to fill the spray tank 60 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 • Best results are achieved where applications are made on warm (greater than 5ºC), sunny days applying more than 50 L/ha of total spray volume (preferably more than 75 L/ha) and where spray coverage is maximised. COMPATIBILITY • Always allow 7 days between application of a grass herbicide and Broadstrike in chickpeas and field peas. • In lentils, adjuvant, broadleaf or grass herbicide, insecticide and foliar fertiliser tank mixes may result in transient height reduction, crop discolouration and delayed flowering, although yields are normally unaffected. However, stress conditions after application (eg. frost, drought) may lengthen the time needed for lentils to recover and in years where a dry spring occurs, yields may be suppressed. • Broadstrike is compatible with the following: Adjuvants Uptake™ Spraying Oil, Hasten® Spray Adjuvant, BS-1000 l e b a L n e m i c e p S Atrazine Diuron (liquid or wettable granule) Spinnaker® Herbicide Basagran® Herbicide Lontrel™ 750 SG Herbicide Lontrel Herbicide Starane™ Advanced Bromoxynil MCPA amine Stomp® 330E Herbicide 2,4-DB MCPA ester Terbutryn Diflufenican (lentils and field peas only) MCPA sodium salt Tordon™ 242 Cereal Herbicide Jaguar® Metsulfuron Treflan™ 480 BROADSTRIKE Broadleaf herbicides Grassweed herbicides Clethodim (lentils only) Simazine Hoegrass Selective Herbicide (ryegrass only) Treflan™ 480 Tristar® Advance Selective Herbicide Paraquat clodinafop Verdict™ 520 Herbicide ® Wildcat® Selective Herbicide (wild oats only) Insecticides – Dimethoate, esfenvalerate (lentils only), Lorsban™ Insecticides, omethoate Fungicides (lentils only) – Carbendazim, chlorothalonil, Dithane™ Rainshield™ Neo Tec™ Fungicide Foliar Fertilisers – Broadacre zinc (lentils only) ® ™ Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company (“Dow”) or an affiliated company of Dow PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 61 CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT After using Broadstrike, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose. Drain the tank and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines and nozzles. BROADSTRIKE • To rinse. After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. • To decontaminate. Before spraying sensitive crops (which include canola, cotton, faba beans, lupins, sorghum and sunflowers), wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Quarter fill the tank and add an alkali detergent at 500 mL/100 L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100 L) and circulate throughout the system for at least fifteen minutes. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow to drain. Chlorine based cleaners are not recommended. PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS Refer to MINIMUM RECROPPING PERIODS for crop rotation information. Crops susceptible to Broadstrike include but are not limited to canola, cotton, faba beans, lupins, sorghum and sunflowers. DO NOT flood irrigate any treated crop or pasture for 48 hours after application. Where other types of irrigation are used, for example sprinklers, DO NOT irrigate to the point of runoff for at least 48 hours after application. l e b a L n e m i c e p S Nufarm Tank and Equipment Cleaner® is not recommended. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and watercourses. RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING Broadstrike Herbicide is a broadleaf herbicide with no annual ryegrass activity and is a member of the triazolopyrimidine sulfonanilide (sulfonamide) group of herbicides. The product has the acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor mode of action. For weed resistance management the product is a Group B herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group B 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 B herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of the product 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 local Dow AgroSciences representative. 62 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 DO NOT apply to waterlogged soils or if heavy rain is expected within 48 hours of application. Dangerous to aquatic plants and susceptible crops. DO NOT contaminate dams, waterways or drains with the product or its containers. DO NOT apply under weather conditions, such as dead calm or excessive wind, or from spraying equipment producing small droplets that may cause spray to drift onto adjacent areas, particularly wetlands, waterbodies, watercourses, susceptible crops or land to be planted with susceptible crops. PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK DO NOT graze or cut treated crops for stock food except as specified under withholding periods. Poisonous plants may become more palatable after spraying, therefore livestock should be kept out of the area until the plants have died down. PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL FIRST AID Keep out of reach of children. If poisoning occurs contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone: Australia 13 11 26.

For optimum results, apply 4 to 6 weeks post sowing. Application beyond 8 weeks post-sowing may result in reduced levels of weed control. In most situations the rate specified for each weed size will give satisfactory control. Under certain conditions such as: • high crop and weed density, • late season germinations, • abnormal weed growth (including early flowering); higher rates of product (up to the maximum rate of application specified for that weed) may be required. Diflufenican will not effectively control: • regrowth of suppressed weeds, • transplanted weeds, • weeds growing under stress from previous herbicide applications.

Weeds should be sprayed while actively growing and at their most susceptible stage. As a general guide, annuals should be sprayed when young and perennials just prior to appearance of bud stage. Extremes of cold or drought are unfavourable. The best conditions are when soil is moist, weather is fine and rain unlikely within 6 hours of application. APPLICATION INFORMATION BOOM SPRAYING – Use 30-120 L/ha of water. Use a minimum of 170 L/ha water for LINSEED. AERIAL SPRAYING – Use 10-90 L/ha of water. HIGH VOLUME SPRAYING – Use 1500-2500 L/ha of water. EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND USAGE Equipment that has been used for this chemical should not be used for the application of other materials to sensitive plants, unless it has been well washed out with hot soapy water or 1% solution of ammonia, followed by several clear water rinses. COMPATIBILITY This product may be tank mixed with Broadstrike™ Herbicide, bromoxynil, dicamba, diflufenican, diuron (500 g/L or 900 g/kg), chlorsulfuron, metsulfuron, Hotshot™ Herbicide, Lontrel™ Herbicide, Lontrel™ 750SG Herbicide, Sertin®, Spray·Seed®, Starane™ Advanced Herbicide, Flowable terbutryn, Tordon™ 242 Herbicide, Torpedo™ Herbicide and Tribunil®. The effectiveness of Imidan, Le Mat® and dimethoate may be reduced by alkaline hydrolysis if tank mixed with this product. 74 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 1. As formulations of other manufacturers’ products are beyond the control of Dow AgroSciences all mixtures should be tested on a small scale before mixing in the spray tank. 2. Tank mixing instructions: Fill the spray tank 1/4 full of water and agitate. Add wettable powders and water dispersible granules first. Agitate until these are uniformly dispersed, meanwhile adding water until the tank is 90% full. Add suspension concentrates (flowables) then soluble concentrates. Emulsifiable concentrates go in last. Top off the tank with water and continue agitation until all the ingredients are properly mixed. Observe any mixing sequence instructions mentioned on the tank mix products. Legume Tolerance: The use of Canvas 750 Selective Herbicide is preferred to 2,4-D amine or 2,4-D LV ester in situations where legumes are undersown in the crop. NB. The tolerance of pasture legumes to applied product can vary with species, variety, growing conditions, stage of growth and companion crop cover. DO NOT spray cereal crops undersown with lucerne as damage may result. PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK Low hazard to bees. May be applied at any time as recommended in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE. PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEA AND ENVIRONMENT l e b a L n e m i c e p S RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING Canvas™ 750 Selective Herbicide is a member of the Phenoxys group of herbicides. Canvas™ 750 Selective Herbicide has the disruptors of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management Canvas™ 750 Selective Herbicide is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Canvas™ 750 Selective Herbicide and other Group I 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 Canvas™ 750 Selective Herbicide or other Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Canvas™ 750 Selective Herbicide to control resistant weeds. PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS DO NOT spray in high winds. DO NOT spray crops or weeds outside the stages indicated in "CRITICAL COMMENTS" as damage, loss of yield or inadequate weed control may result. Drift Warning: 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. Avoid spray drift onto susceptible crops such as cotton, tobacco, tomatoes, vines, fruit trees, vegetables, legume crops and pastures, oilseed crops and susceptible trees (e.g. Kurrajongs, Belahs and Eucalypts). DO NOT use unless wind speed is more than 3 kilometres per hour and less than 15 kilometres per hour, as measured at the application site. DO NOT apply with smaller than coarse to very coarse spray droplets according to the ASABE S572 definition for standard nozzles. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used container. RE-ENTRY PERIOD Hand weeding should not be performed for 7 days after spray application unless workers wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing), chemical resistant gloves and footwear.

Conclude Herbicide is compatible with the following: Broadleaf Herbicides: Bromoxynil, bromoxynil-MCPA, MCPA LVE, MCPA amine, Starane™ Advanced, Lontrel™, dicamba, Ally1 Adjuvants: Always use Uptake™ Spraying Oil unless tank mixing with metsulfuron. When tank mixing with Ally1 use a non-ionic wetter at 200 mL/100 L. DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT TREATED CROPS FOR STOCK FEED FOR 7 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION of Conclude Herbicide. When using Conclude in a tank mix with another product, observe whichever Stockfood Withholding Period is the longer. BOOM SPRAYING: Apply Conclude Herbicide in sufficient water to obtain good coverage. It should be applied by an accurately calibrated ground rig using a water volume of 50 – 100 L/ha. Sprayers should aim to apply medium quality spray in accordance with ASABE standard S-572. If applying a coarse quality spray apply in a minimum of 80 L/ha. CROP SAFETY: Barley and Oats – While grain yields are unaffected, slight, transient yellowing and growth retardation may occur in some conditions. Crop recovery is usually rapid, but may be slower if crops are stressed due to prolonged periods of extreme cold, moisture stress (water-logging or drought), nutritional stress, root disease, or previous herbicide treatment. CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT: After using Conclude Herbicide, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose, drain the tank and clean any tank, pump, line and nozzle filters. PARTIAL CLEANING (Rinse only – before using rig to spray barley, triticale and wheat): After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, line, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat procedure twice. COMPLETE CLEANING (Decontamination – before using rig to spray crops that are susceptible to Conclude Herbicide): After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and add a liquid alkali detergent (e.g. Surf®, Omo®, Drive®) at 500 mL/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least fifteen minutes. Drain the whole system. Then remove filters and nozzles and clean separately. Finally rinse inside the tank thoroughly using a pressure hose and flush system with clean water and allow to drain. Note: Chlorine-based cleaners are NOT recommended. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and their roots and watercourses. l e b a L n e m i c e p S GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS MIXING: Conclude Herbicide is a suspension concentrate which may show some separation on storage. Roll, shake or invert the container several times to ensure that Conclude has completely resuspended before measuring to mix. Conclude Herbicide should be added to the spray tank with simultaneous agitation. If agitation is limited, premix the Conclude Herbicide in a bucket before adding to the main tank. Once diluted correctly, Conclude Herbicide remains in suspension. If tankmixing with other products, the following order should be followed: 1. 2. 3. 4. APPLICATION Quarter fill the spraytank, maintaining agitation, then: Add Conclude Herbicide (as described above) Add water to half fill the spray tank Add wettable powders, water dispersible granules or other suspension concentrates. 5. Add other emulsifiable concentrates. 6. Add Uptake™ Spraying Oil when spraytank is half-full. (or a wetter if applying with Ally1) 7. Add water to bring to the final spray volume. CROP SAFETY: Barley and Oats – While grain yields are unaffected, slight, transient yellowing and growth retardation may occur in some conditions. Crop recovery is usually rapid, but may be slower if crops are stressed due to prolonged periods of extreme cold, moisture stress (water-logging or drought), nutritional stress, root disease, or previous herbicide treatment. ROTATIONAL CROPS: Susceptible winter crops may be sown the year following application. Susceptible winter crops include: chickpeas, faba beans, field peas, lentils and lupins or pastures with a lucerne, medic or clover component. Safety to summer crops is under investigation. Please contact your local Dow AgroSciences representative on 1 800 700 096 before planting a summer crop following use of Conclude Herbicide. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 79 CONCLUDE STOCKFOOD WITHHOLDING PERIOD CONCLUDE RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING Conclude Herbicide contains members of the pyridine and triazolopyrimidine sulfonanilide group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth and acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor modes-of-action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group I + Group B herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I and/or B 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 I or Group B herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of the product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant or local Department of Agriculture. Conclude Herbicide is a broadleaf herbicide with no grass weed activity and exerts no selection pressure on annual ryegrass. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. DO NOT store near food, feedstuffs, fertilisers or seed. The method of disposal of the container depends on the container type. Read the STORAGE AND DISPOSAL instructions on the label that is attached to the container. SPILL AND LEAK MANAGEMENT Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Wear goggles, overalls buttoned to neck and wrist, chemical resistant gloves and footwear. Stop leak when safe to do so. Dam area and prevent entry into waterways, and drains.

WITHHOLDING PERIODS When using Crusader Herbicide in a tank mix with another product, observe whichever Harvest or Grazing/Stockfood Withholding Period that is the longer. Harvest: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED. Grazing/Stockfood: DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT TREATED CROPS FOR STOCK FEED FOR 4 WEEKS AFTER APPLICATION. CROP SAFETY Yield is normally unaffected by treatment with Crusader Herbicide or tank mixes. However, transient stem shortening and crop yellowing may occur. Symptoms may be worse where the crop is stressed, heavy rain/irrigation follows application, crops are grown in alkaline soil conditions, crop has poor root growth, double overlap of spray has occurred or a combination of any or all the above. Where crop stress occurs, a longer period may be required for recovery, especially if the crop is stressed by root or foliar disease, poor nutrition, water logging, drought or cold stress. In severe cases and seasons where a hot, dry spring occurs, flowering may be delayed and yield may be reduced. Crusader Herbicide has been tested over major commercially grown crop varieties, but not all of those that may be grown. For information on crop variety selectivity consult your local reseller or Dow AgroSciences. Note: Application of another Group B herbicide to the same crop before or after Crusader’s use may result in more injury than described above. Consult Dow AgroSciences for advice. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 85 CRUSADER GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT Crusader is a selective sulphonamide herbicide. It is a foliar herbicide for post-emergence use in wheat. It will not reliably control weeds that emerge after treatment. Best results are achieved under good growing conditions. Treatment of crop or weeds that are stressed must be avoided. After using Crusader Herbicide, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose, drain the tank and clean tank, pump, line and nozzle filters. Partial Cleaning – Rinse only before using sprayer to treat triticale or wheat: After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, line, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat procedure twice. Complete Cleaning – Decontamination before using sprayer to treat crops that are susceptible to Crusader Herbicide: After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and add a liquid alkali detergent at 500 mL/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least fifteen minutes. Drain the whole system. Then remove filters and nozzles and clean separately. Finally rinse inside the tank thoroughly using a pressure hose and flush system with clean water and allow to drain. Note: Chlorine-based cleaners are NOT recommended. These tank cleaning recommendations are for Crusader only. Please consult tankmix partner labels to determine requirement for decontamination for other products. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and their roots and watercourses. MIXING Crusader Herbicide is an oil-based concentrate which may show some separation on storage. Roll, shake or invert the container several times to ensure that Crusader Herbicide has completely redispersed before measuring to mix. Crusader Herbicide should be added to the spray tank with simultaneous agitation. If agitation is limited, premix the Crusader Herbicide in a bucket before adding to the main tank. Once diluted correctly, Crusader Herbicide remains in suspension. Tankmixing If Crusader is to be mixed with other products, use the following order: 1. Quarter fill the spray tank, maintaining agitation, 2. Add Crusader Herbicide (as described above), 3. Add water to half fill the spray tank, 4. Add wettable powders, water dispersible granules or suspension concentrates, 5. Add emulsifiable concentrates, 6. Add wetter when spray tank is half-full, 7. Add water to bring to the final spray volume. Crusader Herbicide should be mixed and sprayed out within 8 hours. l e b a L n e m i c e p S RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING COMPATIBILITY Crusader Herbicide is compatible with the following: Broadleaf herbicides: metsulfuron (eg. Ally® Herbicide), bromoxynil, bromoxynil-MCPA, Conclude™ Herbicide, Hotshot™ Herbicide, Lontrel™ Herbicide, Lontrel 750 SG Herbicide, Dow AgroSciences LVE 600 MCPA, MCPA LVE, Starane™ Advanced Herbicide and Torpedo™ Herbicide. Adjuvants: Always use either BS 1000 or Chemwet 1000 at 250 mL/100L spray volume. APPLICATION Boom Spraying: apply Crusader in sufficient water to obtain complete and even coverage. It should be applied by an accurately calibrated ground rig using a water volume of 50–100 L/ha. Sprayers should apply a medium to coarse quality spray in accordance with ASABE standard S-572. Where coarse spray quality is to be applied, use a minimum of 70 L/ha spray volume. 86 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 Crusader Herbicide contains a member of the triazolopyrimidine sulfonanilide group of herbicides. The product has the acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group B herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group B 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 B herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of the product to control resistant weeds. Do not rely solely on Crusader or other Group B herbicides for weed control. Always use an Integrated Weed Management program with herbicides that PRECAUTION Re-entry Period: Nil re-entry period if wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. If not wearing protective clothing as described above, allow the spray to dry prior to re-entry. Protective clothing must be laundered after each day’s use. crops should not be planted for at least 12 months after application of Crusader Herbicide. Contact Dow AgroSciences, your farm chemical supplier, consultant or local Department of Agriculture for advice. PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Crusader Herbicide is highly toxic to algae and aquatic plants. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with chemical or used containers. DO NOT apply under meteorological conditions or from spraying equipment that could be expected to cause spray to drift onto wetlands, natural surface waters, neighbouring properties or other sensitive areas. For ground application, a buffer zone of 5 metres is required between the downwind edge of the boom and the closest edge of waterbodies. l e b a L n e m i c e p S PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS DO NOT apply under weather conditions or from spraying equipment that may cause spray to drift onto nearby native and other non-target plants or susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures. Crop Rotation Recommendations Safe recropping periods apply for all crops following Crusader application. Planting crops ‘dry’ without the minimum rainfall (as stated in the table below) increases the risk of injury to susceptible crops. Susceptible crops include, but are not limited to, those listed in the table below. Plant-back Periods Area/State Rain or irrigation needed* Plant-back Interval Crops to be planted SA, Sth NSW, Tas, Vic, and WA (Winter dominant rainfall areas) All soils 25 mm rain or more 9 months Nth NSW and Qld (Summer dominant rainfall areas) Vertosol soils 50 mm or more rain or irrigation 6 months Barley, canola, chickpeas, cotton, faba beans, field peas, lentils, lupins, lucerne, maize, medics, oats, ryegrass, sub-clover, sorghum, soybeans, sunflower, vetches, and white clover Note: For all other crops, consult your reseller or local Dow AgroSciences’ representative. For all situations, sufficient rainfall to enable soil wetting for at least one week is essential to enable residue breakdown before planting following crops other than wheat. *on shallow, duplex or low organic matter soils and/or where rain or irrigation in one fall or over subsequent days is insufficient to thoroughly wet soil to 10 cm for one week or more in the summer to autumn period, extended plant-back times will apply and susceptible STORAGE AND DISPOSAL This container can be recycled if it is clean, dry, free of visible residues and has the drumMUSTER logo visible.

Extremes of cold or drought are unfavourable. The best conditions are when soil is moist, weather is fine and rain unlikely within 6 hours of application. BOOM SPRAYING - Use 30-120 L/ha of water. AERIAL SPRAYING - Use 10-90 L/ha of water. EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND USAGE DAS LVE 600 Dow AgroSciences LVE 600 MCPA Herbicide is a member of the Phenoxys group of herbicides. Dow AgroSciences LVE 600 MCPA Herbicide has the disruptors of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management Dow AgroSciences LVE 600 MCPA Herbicide is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Dow AgroSciences LVE 600 MCPA Herbicide and other Group I 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 Dow AgroSciences LVE 600 MCPA Herbicide or other Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Dow AgroSciences LVE 600 MCPA Herbicide to control resistant weeds. l e b a L n e m i c e p S APPLICATION INFORMATION Equipment that has been used for this chemical should not be used for the application of other materials to sensitive plants, unless it has been well washed out with hot soapy water or 1% solution of ammonia, followed by several clear water rinses. COMPATIBILITY This product may be tank mixed with Broadstrike™ Herbicide, bromoxynil, dicamba, diflufenican, diuron (500 g/L or 900 g/kg), chlorsulfuron, diclofop-methyl, glyphosate, metsulfuron, Hotshot™ Herbicide, Lontrel™, Lontrel™ 750 SG Herbicides, Sertin®, Spray·Seed®, Starane™ Advanced Herbicide, flowable terbutryn, Tigrex®, Tordon™ 242 Herbicide, Torpedo™ Herbicide, triasulfuron, Tribunil® and Wildcat®. When mixing with diclofop-methyl, add an approved surfactant and do not exceed 580 mL/ha of Dow AgroSciences LVE 600 MCPA Herbicide. For consistent results, use a minimum of 80 L water per hectare by ground and 30 L water by air. NOTE: RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING 1. As formulations of other manufacturers’ products are beyond the control of Dow AgroSciences all mixtures should be tested on a small scale before mixing in the spray tank. 2. Tank mixing instructions: Fill the spray tank 1/4 full of water and agitate. Add wettable powders and water dispersible granules first. Agitate until these are uniformly dispersed, meanwhile adding water until the tank is 90% full. Add suspension concentrates (flowables) then soluble concentrates. Emulsifiable concentrates go in last. Top off the tank with water and continue agitation until all the ingredients are properly mixed. Observe any mixing sequence instructions mentioned on the tank mix products. PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS DO NOT spray in high winds. DO NOT spray crops or weeds outside the stages indicated in "WEED GROWTH STAGE" as damage, loss of yield or inadequate weed control may result. Drift Warning: 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. Avoid spray drift onto susceptible crops such as cotton, tobacco, tomatoes, vines, fruit trees, vegetables, legume crops and pastures, oilseed crops and susceptible trees (e.g. Kurrajongs, Belahs and Eucalypts). DO NOT use unless wind speed is more than 3 kilometres per hour and less than 15 kilometres per hour, as measured at the application site. Legume Tolerance: While Dow AgroSciences LVE 600 MCPA Herbicide is preferred to (2,4-D amine) or Esteron™ LV (2,4-D LV ester) in most situations, this product will cause greater damage than MCPA 500 Amine. NB. The tolerance of pasture legumes to applied product can vary with species, variety, growing conditions, stage of growth and companion crop cover. DO NOT spray cereal crops undersown with lucerne or medics as severe damage will result. PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK Low hazard to bees.

Export markets may apply different standards. To ensure compliance with residue standards in export markets, comply with the above grazing withholding periods and ensure that the Export Slaughter Interval (ESI) is observed before stock are sold or slaughtered. Export Slaughter Interval: 14 Days. This means that livestock that has grazed on or was fed treated crops or byproducts should be placed on clean feed for at least 14 days prior to slaughter. PRECAUTION: Delegate Insecticide may leave detectable chemical residues in harvested produce. Overseas markets may not have appropriate residue tolerances in place or may have established tolerances which are lower than Australian maximum residue limits. Some crops for export to these destinations may require a longer harvesting withholding period. If you are using this product on crops destined for export, please contact your exporter for advice. WINE GRAPES: If you are growing grapes for export wine production, please check with your exporter or the AWRI for the latest information on MRLs and import tolerances before using Delegate Insecticide. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 97 DELEGATE GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Insecticide Resistance Warning For insecticide resistance management, Delegate is a Group 5 insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Delegate and other Group 5 insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Delegate and other Group 5 insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Delegate on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Delegate to control resistant insects. Delegate may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Dow AgroSciences representative or local agricultural department agronomist. volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the Directions for Use table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of runoff. If volume to be applied is < 1000 L/ha then use the low volume (concentrate) application method for calculation of chemical rate. For volumes > 1000 L/ha use dilute spray rate. CONCENTRATE SPRAYING Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is, a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see DILUTE SPRAYING above) for the crop canopy. Consult your local adviser, agronomist or Department of Agriculture to determine this volume. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way: l e b a L n e m i c e p S MIXING Concentrate Spraying Example Half-fill the spray tank with water, add the appropriate amount of accurately measured Delegate Insecticide, then complete filling the tank. 1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: e.g. 1500 L/ha Ensure thorough agitation by mechanical or hydraulic action at all times during mixing and application. 3. The concentration factor is 3X (1500 / 500) Use only clean water within the range pH 5-9 to dilute Delegate Insecticide. DO NOT add non-ionic wetting agent if tank-mixing Delegate with any other products. APPLICATION Thorough coverage of the crop is essential. DO NOT apply when conditions are unsuitable for waterbased spray applications. Avoid high temperature, strong winds, inversion conditions, imminent rain or any conditions that may reduce the quality of spray coverage or result in drift from the target area. Techniques to minimise drift should be employed at all times when applying sprays to, or near, sensitive areas. DILUTE SPRAYING Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of first run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test 98 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: e.g. 500 L/ha 4. If the dilute label rate is 10 g/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 X 10, i.e. 30 g/100 L of concentrate spray The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training. Always follow Industry Best Practices. RAINFASTNESS Rain can wash Delegate Insecticide from treated plant surfaces and result in reduced insect control. Avoid making spray applications if rain is expected before the spray can dry completely. CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT After using Delegate Insecticide empty the tank and completely drain the system. Rinse the tank, pumps, lines, hoses, filters and nozzles by circulating clean water through the system. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until the spray 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 LIVESTOCK Bee Safety: This product is highly toxic to bees; will kill bees foraging in the crop to be treated or in hives which are over-sprayed or reached by spray drift. Residues may remain toxic to bees for several days after application. Once the spray deposit has dried, foraging bees should not be affected when using spray volumes of 2000 L/ha or less. However, if using spray volumes greater than 2000 L/ha, it is possible that foraging bees may be affected for some days after spraying. 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. SMALL SPILL MANAGEMENT Sweep up material and contain in a refuse vessel for disposal in the same manner as for the container (see STORAGE AND DISPOSAL section). SAFETY DIRECTIONS l e b a L n e m i c e p S PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Very Toxic to aquatic life. DO NOT allow the product or used containers to enter dams, ponds, waterways or drains. DO NOT allow irrigation water from treated paddocks to enter adjacent pastures, crops or water supplies. DO NOT apply in strong winds, inversion conditions or any other conditions that may result in drift onto adjacent pastures, crops or water supplies. PROTECTION OF NON-TARGET INSECTS Risk to non-target insects. Delegate may have adverse effects on some non-target beneficials, such as foliage dwelling predators, particularly where IPM is practiced.

For best results, apply as a regular spray programme. Thorough coverage of the treated crop is essential. FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING For fungicide resistance management Dithane Rainshield Neo Tec Fungicide is a Group M3 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to Dithane Rainshield Neo Tec Fungicide and other Group M3 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungi population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by Dithane Rainshield Neo Tec Fungicide and other Group M3 fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Dithane Rainshield Neo Tec Fungicide to control resistant fungi. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of runoff. The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to be changed, as the crop grows. CONCENTRATE SPRAYING - TREE AND VINE CROPS ONLY Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see DILUTE SPRAYING) for the crop canopy or consult your local advisor, agronomist or Department of Agriculture to determine this volume. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way: l e b a L n e m i c e p S MIXING Slowly place into spray tank as it is being filled, or thoroughly premix in a nurse tank for concentrate or aircraft sprayers. Add other co-applied fungicides, insecticides, surfactants etc after Dithane Rainshield Neo Tec Fungicide has been placed into suspension. Maintain sufficient agitation during mixing and spraying to prevent the product settling out and to ensure a uniform spray mixture. Rinse out spray tank, pumps and nozzles at the end of the day. When preparing spray solutions for use in a hand sprayer, premix as a slurry in a small container, and then add to sprayer containing 1/3 to 1/2 the desired final water volume. ADJUVANTS The addition of agricultural adjuvants to Dithane Rainshield Neo Tec Fungicide may improve initial spray deposits, fungicide redistribution and weatherability. See DIRECTIONS FOR USE on adjuvant label for specific recommendations. APPLICATION DILUTE SPRAYING - TREE AND VINE CROPS ONLY Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and match to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of first run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. Concentrate Spraying Example 1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: e.g. 1000 L/ha 2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: e.g. 500 L/ha 3. The concentration factor is 2X (1000 / 500) 4. If the dilute label rate is 40 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 2X 40, i.e. 80 mL/100 L of concentrate spray The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training. Always follow Industry Best Practices. AERIAL APPLICATION May be applied by agricultural aircraft. Use at least 30 to 50 litres of spray mixture per hectare. Consult the DIRECTIONS FOR USE for the correct rate to be applied in specific crop situations. SPRAY TIMING Treatments should begin prior to disease infection and continue until the threat of disease has passed. Repeated applications are necessary to protect new plant growth. Reduce the spray interval when weather conditions favour disease development.

DO NOT spray in high winds. DO NOT spray crops or weeds outside the stages indicated in the CRITICAL COMMENTS as damage, loss of yield or inadequate weed control may result. APPLICATION INFORMATION This product may be used in either high or low volume sprays. Just pour into water and stir. Boom Spraying - Use 30-120 litres water/ha. Aerial Spraying - Use 10-90 litres water/ha. Note: Refer to the Department of Agriculture / Primary Industries in your state for the current restricted spraying areas. Dow AgroSciences Esteron LV Herbicide (Esteron LV) is a member of the phenoxys group of herbicides. Esteron LV has the disruptors of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management Esteron LV is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Esteron LV and other Group I 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 Esteron LV or Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Esteron LV to control resistant weeds. l e b a L n e m i c e p S EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND USAGE Keep the spray unit for herbicides only if possible. Otherwise wash out the unit with hot soapy water followed by several clear water rinses. DO NOT use wooden spray vats as they cannot be cleaned. Hoses cannot be cleaned and new hoses should be fitted when the unit is to be used for any other purpose. COMPATIBILITY This product can be tank mixed with atrazine, dicamba, chlorsulfuron, Garlon™ 600, glyphosate, metsulfuron, paraquat, paraquat/diquat (e.g. SpraySeed®), Starane™ Advanced and triasulfuron. NOTE: RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING 1. As formulations of other manufacturers’ products are beyond the control of Dow AgroSciences all mixtures should be tested on a small scale before mixing in the spray tank. 2. Tank mixing instructions: Fill the spray tank 1/4 full of water and agitate. Add wettable powders and water dispersible granules first. Agitate until these are uniformly dispersed, meanwhile adding water until the tank is 90% full. Add suspension concentrates (flowables) then soluble concentrates. Emulsifiable concentrates go in last. Top off the tank with water and continue agitation until all the ingredients are properly mixed. Observe any mixing sequence instructions mentioned on the tank mix products. PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS Legume Tolerance: If clovers are present, care should be taken to ensure that they have reached the 3-4 leaf stage before spraying. Rates above 405 mL of this product per hectare will destroy most clovers, whilst lucerne and medics are susceptible at any strength. Drift Warning: 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 lands or pastures. In particular, avoid spray drift and vapour movement onto susceptible crops such as: cotton, tobacco, tomatoes, vines, fruit trees, ornamentals, oil seed and legume crops and other susceptible plants and trees (e.g. Kurrajongs, Belahs, Eucalypts). • DO NOT use unless wind speed is more than 3 kilometres per hour and less than 15 kilometres per hour as measured at the application site. • DO NOT apply with smaller than coarse to very course spray droplets according to the ASABE S572 definition for standard nozzles. PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK Low hazard to bees. May be applied on any plants at any time as recommended in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE. PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used container.

Adjust spray application to your specific situation. Weed Control: The following broadleaf weeds are controlled by Gallery 750 Dry Flowable Herbicide. The degree of control depends on the rate applied, surface conditions and time to activation (see APPLICATION section below for more information): Amaranths (Amaranthus spp.), Black nightshade (Solanum nigrum), Caltrop (Tribulus terrestris), Capeweed (Arctotheca calendula), Chickweed (Stellaria media), Clovers (Trifolium spp.), Deadnettle (Lamium spp.), Erodium (Erodium spp.), Fat hen (Chenopodium album), Flat weed (Hypochaeris radicata), Indian hedge mustard (Sysimbrium orientale), Milk thistle (Sonchus oleraceus), Ox tongue (Picris echioides), Peppercress (Lepidium spp.), Pigweed (Portulaca oleracea), Plantains (Plantago spp.), Salvation Jane (Echium plantagineum), Scarlet pimpernel (Anagallis arvensis), Small flowered mallow (Malva parviflora), Volunteer Canola (Brassica spp.), Wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum) and Wireweed (Polygonum aviculare). FOR BROAD SPECTRUM GRASS AND BROADLEAF WEED CONTROL, Gallery 750 Dry Flowable Herbicide should be tank-mixed with products containing either pendimethalin or oryzalin. For weed control up to 4 months use the lower rate of Gallery 750 Dry Flowable Herbicide and the partner herbicide at its lower rate. For weed control of up to 6 months, use the higher rate of Gallery 750 Dry Flowable Herbicide plus the highest rate of either oryzalin or pendimethalin. Obey the Critical Comments and/or application instructions imposed by the label of the mixing partner. Where grass weeds are more important in perennial crops, use the recommended label rate of either oryzalin or pendimethalin for length of weed control and/or soil type, in tank-mix with Gallery 750 Dry Flower Herbicide. NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE OR IN ANY MANNER CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION. WITHHOLDING PERIOD: (Harvest): ALL Crops: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED. WITHHOLDING PERIOD: (Grazing): All Crops (except Pyrethrum): NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED. Pyrethrum Crops: DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT FOR STOCK FOOD FOR 12 MONTHS AFTER APPLICATION. Restraints for Pyrethrum Crops DO NOT apply to Pyrethrum crops within two weeks of another herbicide. DO NOT apply in a mixture with other products in pyrethrum. DO NOT apply to crops older than two years. DO NOT plant susceptible crops (see PROTECTION OF CROPS section below) for at least 2 years after application. DO NOT treat the same areas of land more than two years in a row. 124 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 Gallery 750 Dry Flowable Herbicide is a member of the amide group of herbicides. The product has the diverse sites mode-of-action. For weed resistance the product is a Group O herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other 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 herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds. Soil Activation: Moisture as rain or sprinkler irrigation (>12.5mm) is required within 21 days for activation of Gallery 750 Dry Flowable Herbicide or tank-mixes with oryzalin or within 10 days for activation of tank-mixes with pendimethalin. If adequate moisture is not received within the specified period, poor weed control may result. COMPATIBILITY Gallery 750 Dry Flowable Herbicide is compatible with products containing only oryzalin or only pendimethalin. CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT After using Gallery 750 Dry Flowable, empty the spray unit completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the spray unit using a pressure hose. Drain the spray unit and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. l e b a L n e m i c e p S GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS MIXING Half fill the spray tank and add the required amount of Gallery 750 Dry Flowable Herbicide. If tank-mixing, add the partner herbicide slowly into the spray tank once Gallery 750 Dry Flowable Herbicide is completely dispersed. Complete filling with the agitator running. Maintain the agitation during spraying. Only mix sufficient spray solution for immediate use and avoid storing. Gallery 750 Dry Flowable and tank-mixes may settle out if agitation is stopped or poor. If settling occurs, re-suspend the residue (re-agitate) before continuing the spray application. APPLICATION DO NOT APPLY AERIALLY Apply Gallery 750 Dry Flowable and tank-mixes in 200 to 450 litres of water per hectare (higher spray volumes may give better soil coverage in some soil types). Filter screens should be 50 mesh or larger. Use a medium quality spray as defined by the International BCPC Spray Classification System or the ASABE S572 definitions and apply uniformly, especially within the drip line of trees and vines, so that application above label rates does not occur. Use high enough spray volume to ensure thorough coverage of bare soil for best weed control results. Where tank-mixes are used, apply as a directed spray to the base of grapevines or tree crops. Soil Preparation: Areas to be treated should be free of established weeds, clods, stones and surface trash or cover. Remove surface prunings or trash (weed or crop residue) before applying the product/s. Apply treatment to a fine, even soil surface to obtain best coverage of soil. Failure to apply evenly to soil surface that is free of weeds, clods, stones, surface trash or cover will result in reduced weed control or possible failure. To rinse: After cleaning the spray unit as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. To decontaminate: Wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Quarter fill the tank and add an alkali detergent (e.g. liquid SURF®, OMO®, DRIVE® at 500 mL/100 L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100 L of water) and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow to drain completely. Equipment that has been used to apply Gallery 750 Dry Flowable should be thoroughly decontaminated before using to spray other crops. 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. PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS A minimum of 2 years should elapse before planting all broadleaf crops, and 3 years before planting sensitive crops such as brassicas, peas, beans, onions and poppies. Grasses are normally unaffected and establish quickly after treatment. Individual crop sensitivity to soil residues should be checked with your field advisor, or Dow AgroSciences representative, before planting any crop following application of this product. Spraydrift or runoff containing isoxaben may result in reduced germination or emergence of non-target plants adjacent to treated areas. DO NOT apply under weather conditions or from spraying equipment that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands, pastures or waterbodies. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 125 GALLERY 750 RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING GALLERY 750 PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Isoxaben is very highly toxic to aquatic plants. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers, or waterways with the chemical or used containers. DO NOT apply if heavy rainfall (i.e. sufficient to cause widespread runoff of water from the treated areas) is likely within 24 hours. After application, DO NOT irrigate to the point of run-off for 24 hours. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL DO NOT store near food, feedstuffs, fertilisers or seed. Store in tightly closed, original container in a securely locked, cool and well ventilated place out of direct sunlight. DO NOT re-use containers. Before disposing of empty containers, triple rinse, adding the rinse water to the spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. Dispose of at a local authority landfill. If no landfill is available, bury the containers below 500 mm 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.

NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION. WITHHOLDING PERIODS: Sorghum: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED. 128 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 MIXING RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING Garlon FallowMaster Herbicide is a member of the pyridines group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I 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 Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product 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 local Dow AgroSciences representative. Half fill the spray unit with water and add the required amount of Garlon FallowMaster. Add the remaining water with the agitator running. If required, then add crop oils or wetters (surfactants). Maintain mechanical or by-pass agitation in the spray tank during spraying. Only mix sufficient solution for immediate daily use and avoid storing. APPLICATION A. Boom Application Application of Garlon FallowMaster in a minimum spray volume of 50 L/ha is recommended. Use nozzles that produce a MEDIUM to COARSE spray quality at the target (ASABE S572).

GARLON 600 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS APPLICATION COMPATIBILITY 1. WOODY WEED SITUATIONS Weeds need to be actively growing for herbicides to have optimum effect. Delay treatment until all regrowth has had time to grow to one metre high in situations which have been bulldozed, slashed, burnt, ploughed or areas having a previous chemical treatment. A. High Volume Spraying • Thorough coverage of foliage and stems to the point of runoff is essential, however, avoid excess spraying which is wasteful of chemical. Hand Gun • Apply the recommended mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems through a No. 6 to 8 tip at 700 to 1500 kPa. • A spray volume of 3,000 to 4,000 L per infested hectare (30 to 40 L/100 m2) should be used on the weed infestation. Knapsack & 12 volt Sprayer Packs • Only recommended for the control of herbaceous weeds such as capeweed, horehound and saffron thistle. DO NOT use knapsacks or 12 volt sprayer packs to treat woody weed infestations. B. Aerial Application • Apply in 100 to 200 L water/ha. Use a calibrated aircraft to apply in half overlap passes. Nozzle configurations should produce a COARSE spray quality at the target (ASABE S572). • The potential for damage from drift can be greatly reduced by avoiding unsuitable spraying conditions and using spray pressure and nozzles to minimise the production of small droplets. • DO NOT spray when wind exceeds 15 km/hr, air temperature is above 30°C or low humidity conditions (<35%). C. Controlled Droplet Application (C.D.A.) • Results similar to high volume spraying can be obtained using Micron Herb® or similar equipment. Select a nozzle to give a flow rate of 2 mL/sec and sweeping action of approximately 1 m/sec to ensure a droplet density of 20/cm2. Use a marking agent as recommended by the equipment manufacturers, to check spray coverage. Also, consult directions provided with C.D.A. unit. D. Low Volume High Concentrate Application Techniques • Good control will be achieved, similar to high volume application, where bush size enables good coverage of the bush. Use a marking agent, as recommended by the equipment manufacturers, to check spray coverage. • Gas powered gun: Apply 50 mL shots to obtain uniform coverage of 4 to 5 m2 of surface area of bush. This relates to 20 droplets/cm2 of leaf surface. • Sprinkler sprayer: This technique involves using a micro sprinkler which is connected to a hollow fibre glass rod attached to a pressure knapsack sprayer. Use at low pressures (50 to 200 kPa) and apply with a slow sweeping action over the top of the plants ensuring even coverage on the leaves. FALLOW SITUATIONS: Garlon™ 600 is compatible with the following products: Abound™ 400 Herbicide Esteron™ LV Herbicide Lontrel™ Herbicide Lontrel™ 750 SG Herbicide Starane™ 200 or Starane™ Advanced Herbicide Ripper™ 480 Herbicide Roundup® CT Broadacre Herbicide Roundup® PowerMAX Touchdown HiTech Dow AgroSciences (2,4-D) Amine 625 Herbicide glyphosate Lorsban™ 500 EC Insecticide When mixing with glyphosate in fallow, refer to the glyphosate label for use rate and adjuvants recommended. DO NOT use Uptake™ Spraying Oil or D-C-Trate® Crop Oil. SORGHUM: Garlon™ 600 is compatible with: Starane™ 200 or Starane™ Advanced Herbicide atrazine (500 or 600 g/L flowable product only) PVC gloves are not recommended for Garlon™ 600 Herbicide, therefore, when tank mixing with products that need to be handled with PVC gloves, workers should wear nitrile/neoprene gloves. l e b a L n e m i c e p S MINIMUM RECROPPING PERIODS Before using Garlon™ 600 in tank mixes with other herbicides, check the plant-back information on all product labels. The time between spraying and planting will be determined by the product with the longest plant-back period. Observe the following recropping periods for Garlon™ 600: • wheat, barley, sorghum, maize • chickpeas, soybeans, sunflowers • cotton MIXING 7 days 7 days 14 days Half fill the spray unit with water and add the required amount of Garlon™ 600. Add the remaining water with the agitator running. If required, then add crop oils or wetters (surfactants). Maintain mechanical or by-pass agitation in the spray tank during spraying. Only mix sufficient solution for immediate daily use and avoid storing. Basal Bark and Cut Stump Application: Quarter fill the spray unit or mixing container with diesel and add the required amount of Garlon™ 600. Add the remaining diesel and shake or agitate thoroughly to mix the contents. Periodically shake or agitate to stop product settling out. Only mix sufficient solution for immediate daily use and avoid storing. 138 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT WATER-BASED CLEANING Rinsing After using Garlon™ 600, empty the spray unit completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the spray unit using a pressure hose. Drain the spray unit and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. After cleaning the spray unit as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. l e b a L n e m i c e p S 2. CROPPING/FALLOW SITUATIONS A. Boom Application • Application of Garlon™ 600 in a minimum spray volume of 50 L/ha is recommended. Use nozzles that produce a MEDIUM to COARSE spray quality at the target (ASABE S572). • Boom height must be set to ensure double overlap of nozzle patterns. B. Aerial Application • DO NOT allow Garlon™ 600 to physically drift onto desirable plants. • Aircraft may be used to apply Garlon™ 600 in fallow situations, when ground application equipment cannot be used due to prolonged wet conditions. • A minimum spray volume of 35 L/ha should be used with nozzles that produce a MEDIUM to COARSE spray quality (ASABE S572) at the target are recommended. • DO NOT apply Garlon™ 600 by aircraft unless wind speed is more than 3 km/hr and less than 15 km/hr as measured at the application site and/or air temperature is above 30°C. Avoid application when relative humidity falls below 35%. • Human flagging is not authorised unless protected by engineering controls such as vehicles with cabs. Decontamination Before spraying cotton and other sensitive crops, with equipment that has been used to apply Garlon™ 600, see PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS section. Wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Then quarter fill the tank and add a standard alkali based laundry detergent at 500 g (or mL)/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow to drain. 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. DIESEL-BASED CLEANING Rinsing After using Garlon™ 600, empty the spray unit completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the spray unit using a pressure hose. Drain the spray unit and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. On completion of spraying, use a degreaser agent to remove traces of diesel from the sprayer. Rinse tank and spray through the nozzles with water to remove degreaser. Decontamination After the above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and add an alkali detergent at 50 mL/10 L of water or the powder equivalent at 50 g/10 L of water. Shake or operate spray to circulate the washing solution throughout the sprayer and spray the solution through the nozzle. Rinse well with clean water to remove detergent. To clean brushes and container, spray liberally with degreaser. Hose off thoroughly with clean water and repeat using detergents (see above). DO NOT use this equipment for any other purpose. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 139 GARLON 600 E. Basal Bark and Cut Stump Treatment • Mix Garlon™ 600 in diesel. The use of diesel as a herbicide carrier may affect the rubber seals in some sprayers. To avoid this, use sprayers which use Viton® seals and fittings. When using Garlon™ 600 with diesel, nitrile/ neoprene gloves should be worn instead of rubber gloves. Basal Bark Method • DO NOT apply to wet stems as this can repel the diesel mixture. Apply only with hand-directed equipment such as a pressure sprayer or a paint brush. Spray equipment should be used at low pressures, up to 200 kPa, to avoid excessive splashing or drift. Species with old, rough bark require more thorough wetting than smooth barked species. Liberally spray or paint the bark around the stem from ground level up to 30 cm high, wetting thoroughly to the point of runoff (unless otherwise stated). Cut Stump Method • Stems should be cut less than 15 cm above the ground. Immediately apply Garlon™ 600/diesel mixture liberally to the freshly cut stump by spray or painting the cut surface and sides of the stem. GARLON 600 RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING Garlon™ 600 Herbicide is a member of the pyridines group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other disrupters of plant cell growth 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 disrupters of plant cell growth herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product 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 local Dow AgroSciences representative.

Weed free soil 2 to 4 L/ha Weeds at the 2 to 4 true-leaf stage When seedlings are present, apply as a tank mix with paraquat to give both knockdown and residual control. A non-ionic surfactant should be used in the spray mixture at its recommended rate. Apply as a directed spray to avoid contact with coffee plants. Mature, established weeds must be eliminated by mechanical or chemical means prior to application. 4 or 8 L/ha Weeds at the 4 to 6 true-leaf stage Broadleaf weeds and grasses Weeds at the 4 to 6 true-leaf stage Use the higher rate where longer residual control (up to 6 months) is required. An “over-the-top” application will be tolerated. Recently germinated small seedling grasses and broadleaf weeds (4 to 6 true leaves) will be controlled with these rates. Established larger weeds must be eliminated by mechanical or chemical means prior to application of Goal Herbicide. Add a non-ionic surfactant at its recommended rate to enhance activity. 3 or 4 L/ha Under weed-free conditions, apply as a directed or “over-the-top” spray. Disturbance of the herbicidal barrier on the soil surface at transplantation may reduce the length of weed control. If weed seedlings are present, apply as an “over-the-top” spray. In either situation, use the higher rate for longer residual control. Goal Herbicide can be applied in a tank mix with simazine to extend the spectrum and length of weed control. DO NOT use this tank mix in Eucalyptus plantations grown on sands, with no clay or organic matter. The likelihood of foliar damage to trees (especially eucalypts) will increase if applied to foliage that has not hardened off and/or if the temperature exceeds 20°C. However Goal Herbicide is generally regarded as safe to commonly planted forestry species but the sensitivity of less common species should be tested on small areas before a large-scale application is made. 4 L/ha or 4 mL/10 m2 For the establishment of trees for approved farm practices such as wind breaks, erosion control, woodlots and forestry plantings. When applying as a post-plant spray, ensure spray is directed to the base of seedlings, or that seedlings are protected. Do not apply under hot or windy conditions.

MIXING Goal Herbicide is a selective herbicide for the control of certain annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in dormant apples, grapes, peaches, pears, plums, apricots, almonds, macadamia, duboisia, tobacco, coffee, pyrethrum, winter cereals, topical/ subtropical crops, brassicas, onions, Eucalyptus and Pinus spp. and other forestry trees, applied either to weed free soil or to seedling weeds up to the 4-6 true-leaf stage. Goal Herbicide applied to well prepared, weed free soil should not be disturbed or incorporated after application. Weed control for up to 6 months can be expected with high label rates, but spot treatment of escape weeds or perennial grasses may be necessary with knockdown herbicides. When Goal Herbicide is applied to seedling weeds at the 4 to 6 leaf stage, a non-ionic surfactant such as BS-1000® should be added at recommended rates to improve activity, where suggested in the CRITICAL COMMENTS. Goal Herbicide can also be used at low rates as a “spike” to improve the weed spectrum of knockdown herbicides such as glyphosate and paraquat or diquat/paraquat mixtures. Shake well before use. When using Goal Herbicide alone, fill the spray tank at least 1/3 full with clean water and add the recommended amount of Goal Herbicide while the pump and agitator are running, then complete filling the spray tank. A non-ionic surfactant, if required by label directions, should be added near the end of the filling process to minimise foaming. If tank mixing with oryzalin (500 g/L) or napropamide, add the product to a 1/3 filled tank and then add Goal Herbicide during the filling operation. Maintain agitation during mixing and until spraying is completed. When tank mixing with glyphosate formulations, paraquat, diquat or paraquat/diquat, add these after Goal Herbicide during the filling operation. l e b a L n e m i c e p S RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING Goal Herbicide is a member of the diphenyl ether group of herbicides. The mode of action of Goal Herbicide is to inhibit protoporphyrinogen oxidase. For weed resistance management, Goal Herbicide is a Group G herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to Goal Herbicide and other inhibitors of Group G 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 weeds will not be controlled by Goal Herbicide or other inhibitors or Group G herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Goal Herbicide to control resistant weeds. TIMING Residual control For optimum residual weed control, Goal Herbicide should be applied to the soil surface prior to weed emergence after all other agricultural operations, such as mechanical cultivation and re-shaping of irrigation furrows, have been completed. The area should be left undisturbed during the time period of desired weed control. When applied to seedling weeds, they should be young and actively growing. Weed control for up to 6 months can be expected with high label rates, but spot treatment of escape or perennial grasses may be necessary with knockdown herbicides. Post-emergence weed control For optimum post-emergence weed control, Goal Herbicide + glyphosate tank mixes should be applied to small seedling weeds up to 4-6 true-leaf stage. Use of a non-ionic surfactant such as BS-1000 is recommended to improve activity. Weeds should be actively growing and free from environmental stress (drought, cold, insect attack, nutrient deficiency). Cultivation after treatment and prior to or at planting is beneficial for final fallow weed control. Goal Herbicide + Glyphosate tank mixes Ensure thorough agitation when mixing, filling the spray tank and during application, irrespective of glyphosate formulation used. Follow recommended order and directions for tank mixing Goal and glyphosate. Use all spray mix immediately after preparation. • DO NOT tank mix Goal Herbicide and glyphosate without agitation. • DO NOT allow mix to stand unagitated. • DO NOT store Goal Herbicide and glyphosate tank mixes. • DO NOT mix other agrochemical products with Goal and Roundup PowerMax tank mixtures. APPLICATION Spray equipment should be calibrated carefully before use. Goal Herbicide should be applied uniformly with an accurately calibrated, low pressure herbicide sprayer, as a directed treatment to the base of tree and vine crops using flat fan or hollow cone nozzles. Complete coverage of seedling weeds is required for maximum knockdown effect. Ensure both weed foliage and the soil surface are sprayed. Apply using a vehicle mounted boom, calibrate to deliver a droplet spectrum classification defined as medium by ASABE Standard S572, using water volume of 250 to 500 litres per hectare for bare soil or 100 to 1350 litres per hectare when seedling weeds (4 to 6 leaf stage) are treated. Use the higher volumes where weed density is high. Tank mixtures of 75 mL/ha of Goal Herbicide with glyphosate herbicides should be applied in 30 to 200 litres spray volume per hectare. For maximum residual control, Goal Herbicide should NOT be incorporated or disturbed after application. CROP SAFETY Goal Herbicide may be applied as a directed and/or shielded spray around dormant peach, plum, apricot, almond, apple and pear trees and grapevines of all ages when applied at rates of less than 1 L/ha. When applied at 3 L/ha and above, the trees and grapevines should be at least 3 years of age. DO NOT apply Goal Herbicide once bud swell has occurred when using rates greater than 1 L/ha. Duboisia seedlings and mature plants will tolerate “over-thetop” applications of Goal Herbicide. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 147 GOAL GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS SAFE SOWING INTERVALS planting zone or covering seed with treated soil may result in injury to emerging crop seedlings. Avoid covering the seed with soil treated with Goal Herbicide during the planting operation to minimise crop injury. Goal Herbicide has residual soil activity, especially when applied at rates greater than 75 mL/ha and on small-seeded horticultural crops. Plant back intervals in the following table for horticultural crops must be observed if more than 75 mL/ha Goal Herbicide has been applied. Goal Herbicide at up to 75 mL/ha may be safely applied 1 day prior to planting broadacre crops such as cereals (wheat, barley, oats, triticale), canola, pulses (lupins, faba beans, field peas) and undersown pastures (lucerne, clover, medics, ryegrass, phalaris, cocksfoot) and 7 days minimum prior to planting cotton or soybeans, provided minimum tillage planting equipment is used with minimal soil disturbance.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS GoalTender Herbicide is a selective herbicide for the control of certain annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in dormant apples, grapes, peaches, pears, plums, apricots, almonds, macadamia, duboisia, tobacco, coffee, pyrethrum, winter cereals, topical/subtropical crops, brassicas, onions, Eucalyptus and Pinus spp. and other forestry trees, applied either to weed free soil or to seedling weeds up to the 4-6 true leaf stage. GoalTender Herbicide applied to well prepared, weed free soil should not be disturbed or incorporated after application. Weed control for up to 6 months can be expected with high label rates, but spot treatment of escape weeds or perennial grasses may be necessary with knockdown herbicides. When GoalTender Herbicide is applied to seedling weeds at the 4 to 6 leaf stage, a nonionic surfactant such as BS-1000 should be added at recommended rates to improve activity, where suggested in the CRITICAL COMMENTS. GoalTender Herbicide can also be used at low rates as a “spike” to improve the weed spectrum of knockdown herbicides such as glyphosate and paraquat or diquat/ paraquat mixtures. 154 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING GoalTender Herbicide is a member of the diphenyl ether group of herbicides. The mode of action of GoalTender Herbicide is to inhibit protoporphyrinogen oxidase. For weed resistance management, GoalTender Herbicide is a Group G herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to GoalTender Herbicide and other Group G 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 weeds will not be controlled by GoalTender Herbicide or other Group G herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of GoalTender Herbicide to control resistant weeds. APPLICATION DO NOT apply using spraying equipment carried on the back of the user. Re-entry periods DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until the spray 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. Spray equipment should be calibrated carefully before use. GoalTender Herbicide should be applied uniformly with an accurately calibrated, low pressure herbicide sprayer, as a directed treatment to the base of tree and vine crops using flat fan or hollow cone nozzles. Complete coverage of seedling weeds is required for maximum knockdown effect. Ensure both weed foliage and the soil surface are sprayed. Apply using a vehicle mounted boom, calibrate to deliver a droplet spectrum classification defined as medium by the ASABE Standard S572, using water volume of 250 to 500 litres per hectare for bare soil or 100 to 1350 litres per hectare when seedling weeds (4 to 6 leaf stage) are treated. Use the higher volumes where weed density is high. Tank mixtures of 37.5 mL/ha of GoalTender Herbicide with glyphosate herbicides should be applied in 30 to 200 litres spray volume per hectare. For maximum residual control, GoalTender Herbicide should NOT be incorporated or disturbed after application. TIMING Residual control For optimum residual weed control, GoalTender Herbicide should be applied to the soil surface prior to weed emergence after all other agricultural operations, such as mechanical cultivation and re-shaping of irrigation furrows, have been completed. The area should be left undisturbed during the time period of desired weed control. When applied to seedling weeds, they should be young and actively growing. Weed control for up to 6 months can be expected with high label rates, but spot treatment of escape or perennial grasses may be necessary with knockdown herbicides. Post-emergence weed control For optimum post-emergence weed control, GoalTender herbicide + glyphosate tank mixes should be applied to small seedling weeds up to 4-6 true leaf stage. Use of a non-ionic surfactant such as BS-1000 is recommended to improve activity. Weeds should be actively growing and free from environmental stress (drought, cold, insect attack, nutrient deficiency). Cultivation after treatment and prior to or at planting is beneficial for final fallow weed control. l e b a L n e m i c e p S MIXING Shake well before use. When using GoalTender Herbicide alone, fill the spray tank at least 1/ 3 full with clean water and add the recommended amount of GoalTender Herbicide while the pump and agitator are running, then complete filling the spray tank. A non-ionic surfactant, if required by label directions, should be added near the end of the filling process to minimise foaming. If tank mixing with oryzalin (500 g/L) or napropamide, add the product to a 1/ 3 filled tank and then add GoalTender Herbicide during the filling operation. Maintain agitation during mixing and until spraying is completed. When tank mixing with glyphosate formulations, paraquat, diquat or paraquat/diquat, add these after GoalTender Herbicide during the filling operation. GoalTender Herbicide + Glyphosate tank mixes Ensure thorough agitation when mixing, filling the spray tank and during application, irrespective of glyphosate formulation used. Follow recommended order and directions for tank mixing GoalTender and glyphosate. Use all spray mix immediately after preparation. • DO NOT tank mix GoalTender Herbicide and glyphosate without agitation. • DO NOT allow mix to stand unagitated. • DO NOT store GoalTender Herbicide and glyphosate tank mixes. • DO NOT mix other agrochemical products with GoalTender and Roundup PowerMax tank mixtures. CROP SAFETY GoalTender Herbicide may be applied as a directed and/or shielded spray around dormant peach, plum, apricot, almond, apple and pear trees and grapevines of all ages when applied at rates of less than 500 mL /ha. When applied at 1.5 L/ha and above, the trees and grapevines should be at least 3 years of age. DO NOT apply GoalTender Herbicide once budswell has occurred when using rates greater than 500 mL /ha. Duboisia seedlings and mature plants will tolerate “over-the-top” applications of GoalTender Herbicide. SAFE SOWING INTERVALS GoalTender Herbicide at up to 37.5 mL/ha may be safely applied 1 day prior to planting broadacre crops such as cereals (wheat, barley, oats, triticale), canola, pulses (lupins, faba beans, field peas) and undersown pastures (lucerne, clover, medics, ryegrass, phalaris, cocksfoot) and 7 days minimum prior to planting cotton or soybeans, provided minimum tillage planting equipment is used with minimal soil disturbance. Inversion, mixing of surface soil with that in the planting zone or covering seed with treated soil may result in injury to emerging crop seedlings. Avoid covering the seed with soil treated with GoalTender Herbicide during the planting operation to minimise crop injury. GoalTender Herbicide has residual soil activity, especially when applied at rates greater than 37.5 mL/ha and on small-seeded horticultural crops. Plantback intervals in the following table for horticultural crops must be observed if more than 37.5 mL/ha GoalTender Herbicide has been applied.

DO NOT apply to single continuous area greater than 0.5 hectares in size 1.5 NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION. FOR NATIVE VEGETATION APPLICATION Use of Graslan™ on native vegetation must be done in accordance with STATE and/or LOCAL legislation, including the Vegetation Management Act 2000 in Queensland. It is recommended that gloves be used during hand application. Apply Graslan™ by uniformly distributing by hand over the desired area after weighing out the recommended quantity of pellets. The best way to calibrate yourself is to weigh a normal handful of pellets. If, for example, a handful weighs 20 grams, then this will treat 20 to 40 m2 at the rate of 0.5 to 1 g/m2. DISPENSER PACK: Apply GRASLAN™ by uniformly distributing by hand after dispensing a single dose (7g) from the dispenser unit. Apply the pellets at 1 to 2 g per metre square. One dose (7g) will treat 7 to 3.5 square metres at these rates. WITHHOLDING PERIOD NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Graslan™ may be applied at any time of the year. Treatments become effective after sufficient rainfall has occurred to move the chemical into the root zone where it is absorbed by woody plants. Applications just prior to seasonal rainfall give the most rapid response. Herbicidal activity will continue for several seasons after application. During this time woody plants may go through repeated defoliation’s and regrowths until death occurs. A single application is normally effective for several years. Forage grass production usually increases as woody weed competition is reduced. Increased grass production is also dependant on adequate rainfall an acceptable grazing management programme. It is important to allow grasses to seed and seedlings to become established after treatment before grazing pressure is increased. Areas treated with Graslan™ may be overseeded with suitable pasture species. Consult your agricultural specialist for details on suitable seeding rates, timing and fertilizer application programme. The residual action of Graslan™ may be impaired if fire occurs before clay pellets are dissolved and the chemical has moved into the root zone. 160 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS When applying pellets, distribute them under the tree or regrowth canopy from the root crown or stems to 30 cm beyond the drip zone of the plants you want to control. The time required for complete plant death depends on soil type, amount of rainfall, root depth, plant species, plant density and rate of Graslan™ used. Some species may go through several defoliation’s from 6 months to 2 years before dying. Timber and regrowth control with Graslan™ pellets may be variable when used on soils with high clay content high organic matter or when treating deep rooted or more tolerant species. TREATING INDIVIDUAL TREES TREATING FENCE LINES Estimate the area within 30 cm beyond the drip zone, i.e. the area under the plant canopy. It is essential that this area is treated as evenly as possible with pellets being spread from the tree trunk to slightly beyond the drip line formed by the branches. Do not throw all the pellets at the base of the tree trunk. This will waste material and could result in poor control. Example Estimate the area to be treated, along the fence line and then apply Graslan™ pellets on both sides of the fence line as evenly as possible within the area extending 30 cm out beyond drip zone. Example l e b a L n e m i c e p S CLEANING APPLICATION EQUIPMENT RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING TREATMENT OF CLUMPS OF TREES OR PATCHES OF REGROWTH Graslan™ pellets are particularly effective in treating areas of regrowth. Estimate the area within 30 cm beyond the drip zone and apply the Graslan™ pellets on a grid pattern to uniformly cover the area. Pellets should be applied over the top of regrowth if at all possible in an attempt to maintain a good distribution pattern. Example Graslan™ Herbicide is a member of the Ureas group of herbicides. The product has inhibitors of photo-synthesis at photosystem II mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group C herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group C 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 C herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture of local Dow AgroSciences representative. PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS DO NOT allow any roots of desirable plants, trees or ornamentals to contact Graslan™. Graslan™ may cause temporary herbicidal symptoms to appear on perennial grasses, including buffel grass, particularly after extended dry periods. Higher rates of application of Graslan™ (2g/m2) may kill grasses, particularly native annuals. This effect can be minimised by application when grasses are dormant (autumn application). Graslan™ may seriously injure desirable forage plants such as pasture legumes and other broadleaf plants. These species may regenerate in subsequent seasons. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 161 GRASLAN Thoroughly clean all traces of Graslan™ from vessels holding pellets e.g. bucket and gloves after use. Residues cleaned from this application equipment should not be emptied on areas where they will contact roots of desirable trees, shrubs or plants. PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK SAFETY DIRECTIONS Poisonous plants may become more palatable after application of granules and stock should be kept away from these plants until they have died down. • Harmful if swallowed. • Will irritate the eyes. • Repeated exposure may cause allergic disorders. • Avoid contact with eyes and skin. • When opening the container and preparing the product and using the prepared product wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist and a washable hat and elbow length gloves. • Wash hands after use. • After each day’s use wash gloves and contaminated clothing.

WITHHOLDING PERIOD Pasture: Cutting or Grazing Pastures for Stock Food: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED. LIVESTOCK DESTINED FOR EXPORT MARKETS The grazing withholding period only applies to stock slaughtered for the domestic market. Some 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. l e b a L n e m i c e p S EXPORT SLAUGHTER INTERVAL (ESI) – 3 days: Livestock that has been grazed on or fed treated crops within 42 days of application should be placed on clean feed for 3 days prior to slaughter. EXPORT GRAZING INTERVAL (EGI) – 42 days. Livestock that has been grazing on treated crops or pasture should not be sold for export slaughter for 42 days (6 weeks) after application of the chemical product, unless the export slaughter interval has been observed. When Grazon Extra is used as directed and the above withholding periods and/or export intervals are observed, treated grain and livestock commodities are considered acceptable for export. However, export requirements are subject to change. Consult your exporter for updated information about specific market requirements. IMPORTANT: Read the MANAGEMENT OF RESIDUES IN COMPOST, MULCHES AND ANIMAL WASTE in the PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVES AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS section of this label. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS MINIMUM RECROPPING PERIODS Aminopyralid and picloram remain active in the soil for extended periods depending on the rate of application, soil type (clay content), rainfall, temperature, humidity, soil moisture and soil organic matter. The following tables show plant-back periods to particular crops following application of Grazon Extra in different areas/situations of Australia. Table A: Northern New South Wales & Queensland Plant-back periods for rotational crops following application of Grazon Extra for rates up to 600 mL/ha on black cracking clay soils. These plant-back periods are based on a normal rainfall pattern. During drought conditions (or when the rainfall is less than 100 mm for a period of 4 months or greater) the plant-back period may be significantly longer.

The most residual product, i.e. the product with the longest plant-back period, will determine the time between spraying and planting. COMPATIBILITY Follow any regional restrictions, and all directions and restrictions on the label, of any chemical mixed with Grazon Extra (e.g. 2,4,-D amine). Grazon Extra is compatible with the following herbicides: Dow AgroSciences Amine 625,(2,4-D), Abound™ 400, AgriCrop Lantana 600, Ripper™ 480, glyphosate, metsulfuron-methyl, Roundup® CT, Starane™ Advanced. Grazon Extra is compatible with the following adjuvants, as per Directions for Use on this label; Uptake™ Spraying Oil, BS1000 Biodegradable Surfactant, (alternatives are Chemwet 1000, and Spreadwet 1000 Wetting Agent), or Pulse® Penetrant. Not all surfactants or crop oils are of equal quality, Dow AgroSciences does not support the use of alternative products other than those listed in the COMPATIBILITY section. MIXING Mix only with water. Half fill the spray unit with water, and add the required amount of Grazon Extra. Add the remaining water with the agitator running. If required, then add spray oils or wetters (surfactants). Maintain mechanical or by-pass agitation in the spray tank during spraying. Only mix sufficient solution for immediate daily use and avoid storing. 172 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 APPLICATION Only apply Grazon Extra under atmospheric conditions that do not allow drift onto sensitive crops to occur. 1. WOODY WEED SITUATIONS Weeds need to be actively growing for herbicides to have optimum effect. Delay treatment until all regrowth has had time to grow to approximately 1 metre in situations which have been bulldozed, slashed, burnt, ploughed or areas having a previous chemical treatment. A. High Volume Spraying Thorough coverage of foliage to the point of run-off is essential; however, avoid excess spraying which is wasteful of chemical. Hand Gun Apply the recommended mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems through a No. 6 to 8 tip at 700 to 1500 kPa (400 to 500 kPa for St John’s wort). A spray volume of 3000 to 4000 L per infested hectare of 1 to 2 metre high blackberry (30 to 40 L/100 m2) should be used. Use 2000 L of spray mixture/ha of galenia infestation (i.e. 20 L /100 m2 infested area). Knapsack & 12 volt Sprayer Packs Apply the recommended spray mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems. Only recommended for the control of herbaceous weeds, such as capeweed, fireweed and spear thistle, and woody weeds that are not regrowth less than 60 cm high or 60 cm diameter. C. Controlled Droplet Application (C.D.A.) Results similar to high volume spraying can be obtained using Micron Herbi® or similar equipment. Select a nozzle to give a flow rate of 2 mL/sec and sweeping action of approximately 1 m/sec to ensure a droplet density of 20/cm². Use a marking agent, as recommended by the equipment manufacturers, to check spray coverage. Also, consult directions provided with C.D.A. unit. the blanket may require more frequent solution recharge (rewetting). Ideally, a scraper bar should be mounted in front of the blanket in order to scrape or damage the bark (but not sever the stems) prior to the blanket wiping the stems. This scraper may be mounted at the front of the vehicle. Two passes (in opposite direction) with the blanket increases the contact with the plant. Ground speeds of 10-15 kph are ideal for blanket wiping application. CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT l e b a L n e m i c e p S D. Low Volume High Concentrate Application Techniques Good control will be achieved, similar to high volume application, where bush size enables good coverage of entire bush. Use a marking agent, as recommended by the equipment manufacturers, to check spray coverage. Gas powered gun: Apply 50 mL shots to obtain uniform coverage of 4 to 5 m² of surface area of bush. This relates to 20 droplets/cm² of leaf surface. Sprinkler sprayer: This technique involves using a micro sprinkler that is connected to a hollow fibre glass rod attached to a pneumatic knapsack sprayer. Use at low pressures (50 to 200 kPa) and apply with a slow sweeping action over the top of the plants ensuring even coverage on the leaves. E. Boom Application Application in a minimum spray volume of 200 L/ha for galenia and St. John’s wort and 600 L of water/ha for sickle pod. Use nozzle configurations to produce medium droplets as defined by ASABE S572. Boom height must be set to ensure double overlap of nozzle patterns. 2. FALLOW SITUATIONS A. Boom Application Application of Grazon Extra in a minimum spray volume of 50 L/ha is recommended using nozzle configurations to produce medium droplets as defined by ASABE S572. Boom height must be set to ensure double overlap of nozzle patterns. B. Blanket Wiper Application Blanket needs to be made from durable and wettable material with a rigid backing. Blanket should be rigidly mounted behind motorised vehicle (eg. tractor, 4-wheel drive vehicle) and set low but never touching the ground. The chemical solution should be fed to the blanket at a flow rate sufficient to keep the blanket wet but not dripping. In thick patches Rinsing After using Grazon Extra, empty the spray unit completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the unit using a pressure hose. Drain the spray unit, and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. After cleaning the spray unit as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. Decontamination Before spraying cotton and other sensitive crops with equipment that has been used to apply Grazon Extra (see PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NONTARGET PLANTS section). Wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Then quarter fill the tank and add a standard alkali based laundry detergent at 500 g (or mL)/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow to drain. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and watercourses. RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING Grazon Extra Herbicide is a member of the pyridines group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I herbicides may exist through PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 173 GRAZON EXTRA B. Aerial Application Apply in 200 L of water/ha using an aircraft to apply 100 L per pass on a double overlap pattern using nozzle configurations to produce coarse to very coarse droplets as defined by ASABE S572. GRAZON EXTRA 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 the product or other Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of the product 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 local Dow AgroSciences representative. DO NOT send straw from treated pastures off-farm for these purposes or for animal bedding. DO NOT send animal manure, dairy shed and feed pad effluent that has been collected from animals grazing or fed pastures treated within the previous 6 months off-farm. Spreading/irrigating this manure/effluent may cause damage to clover and other susceptible plants. DO NOT send compost made from animal waste that has been collected from animals grazing or fed pastures treated within the previous 6 months off-farm. Such compost may cause damage to clover and other susceptible plants. DO NOT apply animal waste (e.g. manure, slurry) collected from animals grazing or fed pastures treated within the previous 6 months to susceptible plants or land to be used to grow susceptible plants. DO NOT grow susceptible plants within in the relevant plantback period in fields treated with manure/effluent from farms where animals have grazed or been fed treated pasture until a field bioassay shows there are no residues in the soil at levels injurious to the susceptible plants (see the crop rotation section). To promote herbicide decomposition, manure should be evenly incorporated in the surface soil. Breakdown of residues in decomposing plants or manure is more rapid under warm, moist soil conditions and may be enhanced by supplemental irrigation. l e b a L n e m i c e p S PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS Crops susceptible to Grazon Extra include, but are not limited to: peas, lupins, lucerne, navy beans, peanuts, soybeans and other legumes, cotton, flowers, fruit, hops, ornamentals, shade trees and Pinus spp., potatoes, safflower, sugar beet, sunflowers, tobacco, tomatoes, vegetables and vines. Grazon Extra is damaging to susceptible crops during both growing and dormant periods. Grasses are normally unaffected and establish quickly after treatment. Picloram and aminopyralid, two of the active constituents in this product can remain active in the soil for extended periods depending on soil type and application rate, rainfall, temperature, humidity, soil moisture and soil organic matter. DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands, pastures, waterways or native vegetation. DO NOT allow physical spray drift onto waterways, native vegetation and susceptible crops. DO NOT apply close to, or in areas, containing roots of desirable vegetation, where treated soil may be washed onto areas growing (or areas to be planted with) desirable plants. DO NOT apply on sites where surface water from heavy rain can be expected to run off to areas containing, or to be planted with susceptible crops or plants. DO NOT move soil, which may have been treated to areas where desirable plants are to be grown. MANAGEMENT OF RESIDUES IN COMPOST, MULCHES AND ANIMAL WASTE DO NOT cut pasture for hay or silage production within 6 months of application, where it is intended for use off-farm. DO NOT use treated plant material to make, compost, mulches or mushroom substrate. 174 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 SOIL BIOASSAY A simple bioassay can be conducted by collecting at least 10 spade spits of soil to a depth of 200 mm from around the paddock and thoroughly mixing the soil together. Place some of this soil in a shallow container to a depth of 3-5 cm and sow 100 seeds of the susceptible plant to be grown (subterranean or white clover is a good indicator plant where it is not practical to use the susceptible crop) into the soil. Keep in a warm and well light location and ensure the soil does not dry out. After plant emergence, check the number of plants that have germinated and seedling vigour. Symptoms of Grazon residues include non-germination or low plant emergence, leaf cupping, leaf whitening, stem elongation and twisting. If these symptoms occur do not grow the susceptible plant. Repeat the bioassay again after a further time interval. Further information on residues in composts, mulches and animal wastes can be found at www.dowagrosciences.com.au Poisonous plants may become more palatable after spraying and stock should be kept away from these plants until they have died down. Many plants remain poisonous after death, and stock should not be allowed access, as there is a likelihood that they may graze the dead material. Such material should be burnt if possible.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS HOTSHOT MINIMUM RECROPPING PERIODS Aminopyralid remains active in the soil for extended periods depending on rate of application, soil type (clay content), rainfall, temperature, humidity, soil moisture and soil organic matter. The following tables show plant-back periods to particular crops following application of Hotshot in different areas in Australia. Northern New South Wales & Queensland Plant-back periods for rotational crops following application of Hotshot for rates up to 750 mL/ha on black cracking clay soils. These plant-back periods are based on normal rainfall pattern. During drought conditions (or when rainfall is less than 100 mm for a period of 4 months or greater) the plant-back period may be significantly longer. Winter Crop Plant-back Period (months) Summer Crop Plant-back Period (months) 4 4 4 6 6 6 Sorghum Mungbean Sunflower Soybean Cotton 3 5 5 5 9 Wheat Barley Canola Chickpea Faba bean Lucerne Southern New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia & Western Australia Plant-back periods for rotational crops following application of Hotshot for rates up to 500 mL/ha. Crops Plant-back Period (months) Barley, Canola, Wheat 9 Chickpea, Faba bean, Field pea, Lucerne, Lupin, Medic, Subclover 20 Note: Before using Hotshot in tank mixes with other herbicides, check the plant-back information on all product labels. The most residual product, i.e. the product with the longest plant-back period, will determine the time between spraying and planting the next crop. MIXING Hotshot can be mixed with water only. Mix only sufficient chemical for each day use and avoid storing mix. Half fill the spray tank with water and add the required quantity of Hotshot and complete filling. Agitate continuously to ensure thorough mixing before and during application. Tank mixtures: Wettable powder or dry flowable formulations (e.g. water dispersible granules) should be added to the spray tank first, followed by suspension concentrates (flowables), water soluble salts and then emulsifiable concentrate formulations (e.g. Starane™ Advanced Herbicide). Add spraying oils and surfactants (wetters) last, if required. 180 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 Hotshot is compatible with the following: (Read and follow all label directions, RESTRAINTS, PLANT-BACK periods, WITHHOLDING PERIODS and SAFETY DIRECTIONS on the partner label as well as those on the Hotshot label). Broadleaf Herbicides LVE 600 MCPA Selective Herbicide (MCPA LVE), metsulfuron-methyl, Starane™ Advanced, (chlorsulfuron), Eclipse1®, Ripper™ 480 (glyphosate). CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto wasteland away from desirable plants and water courses. Rinsing: After using Hotshot Herbicide, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the spray unit using a pressure hose. Drain, and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. l e b a L n e m i c e p S Grass Herbicides Topik1® 240 EC (wild oats only).

Then quarter fill the tank and add a standard alkali based laundry detergent at 500 g (or mL)/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow draining. RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING APPLICATION METHODS Broadcast application in cropping situations. A. Ground Application (Boom) Apply Hotshot with an accurately calibrated boom sprayer, in at least 80L/ha water. Use a medium quality spray as defined by ASABE (S572). Set the boom at a height to ensure a double overlap of the nozzle pattern. Woody weed situations A. High Volume Spot Spraying Application Apply the recommended mix to obtain full coverage of leaves and stems using a coarse to very coarse quality spray as defined by ASABE (S572) eg a number 6 – 8 spray tip at 700 to 1500 kPa. To obtain good coverage, a spray volume of 3000 L water/ha is required per treated hectare. Spray to ensure thorough coverage of all foliage, including stems to the point of runoff. Hotshot Herbicide contains members of the pyridine group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group I Herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I 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 I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product 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 local Dow AgroSciences representative. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 181 HOTSHOT COMPATIBILITY HOTSHOT PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVES AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS DO NOT use on land to be cultivated for growing susceptible crops for up to 20 months of applying Hotshot, except where indicated in the MINIMUM RECROPPING PERIODS section of the GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS. Legumes, vines, vegetables, cotton, tomatoes, ornamentals and many other plants are highly susceptible to this herbicide during both growing and dormant periods. Cereal crops, canola and grasses can be sown safely after using HOTSHOT. This product will kill legumes (clovers, medics) present in the crop at the time of spraying. In the season, following application of this product the regeneration or establishment of sensitive legumes (clover, medics, peas, and lupins) may be adversely affected by soil residues. DO NOT allow spray drift onto sensitive native vegetation or susceptible crops, such as cotton, tomatoes, vines, fruit, potatoes, vegetables, ornamentals, tobacco, lupins and other legumes, safflower, sugar beet, hops, flowers or shade trees. DO NOT use under meteorological conditions or with spraying equipment likely to produce drift. Minimise spray drift by using low pressures and nozzles, which DO NOT give a fine droplet size. DO NOT apply close to or on areas containing roots of desirable vegetation, where treated soil may be washed to areas growing, or to be planted to desirable plants, or on sites where surface water from heavy rain can be expected to run off to areas containing or to be planted to susceptible crops or plants. DO NOT move soil, which may have been sprayed, to areas where desirable plants are to be grown. DO NOT send compost made from animal waste that has been collected from animals grazing or fed crops treated within the previous 6 months (pasture) or 6 weeks (cereals) off-farm. Such compost may cause damage to clover and other susceptible plants. DO NOT apply animal waste (e.g. manure, slurry) collected from animals grazing or fed crops treated within the previous 6 months (pasture) or 6 weeks (cereals) to susceptible plants or land to be used to grow susceptible plants. DO NOT grow susceptible plants within the relevant plantback period in fields treated with manure/effluent from farms where animals have grazed or been fed treated plants until a field bioassay shows there are no residues in the soil at levels injurious to the susceptible plants (see the crop rotation section). To promote herbicide decomposition, manure should be evenly incorporated in the surface soil. Breakdown of residues in decomposing plants or manure is more rapid under warm, moist soil conditions and may be enhanced by supplemental irrigation. l e b a L n e m i c e p S MANAGEMENT OF RESIDUES IN COMPOST, MULCHES AND ANIMAL WASTE DO NOT cut pasture for hay or silage production within 6 months of application, where it is intended for use off-farm. DO NOT cut cereals intended for hay or silage production within 6 weeks of application, where it is intended for use off-farm. DO NOT use treated plant material to make mushroom substrate. DO NOT send straw from treated crops off-farm for these purposes or for animal bedding. DO NOT send animal manure, dairy shed and feed pad effluent that has been collected from animals grazing or fed crops treated within the previous 6 months (pasture) or 6 weeks (cereals) off-farm. Spreading/irrigating this manure/effluent may cause damage to clover and other susceptible plants. 182 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 SOIL BIOASSAY A simple bioassay can be conducted by collecting at least 10 spade spits of soil to a depth of 200 mm from around the paddock and thoroughly mixing the soil together. Place some of this soil in a shallow container to a depth of 3-5 cm and sow 100 seeds of the susceptible plant to be grown (subterranean or white clover is a good indicator plant where it is not practical to use the susceptible plant) into the soil. Keep in a warm and well lit location and ensure the soil does not dry out. After crop emergence, check the number of plants that have germinated and seedling vigour. Symptoms of Hotshot residues include non-germination or low plant emergence, leaf cupping, leaf whitening, stem elongation and twisting. If these symptoms occur – do not grow the susceptible plant. Repeat the bioassay again after a further time interval.

Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to Indar Fungicide and other Group 3 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungal population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by Indar Fungicide or other Group 3 fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Indar Fungicide to control resistant fungi. Note: Indar Fungicide may be harmful to beneficial arthropods and may not be suitable for use in IPM programs. APPLICATION: Nectarines DO NOT apply to nectarines by aircraft. Apply in a sufficient volume of water to achieve thorough coverage of all blossoms, fruit and foliage. The volume of water required to achieve this will depend on the size of the trees. Apply by dilute or concentrate spraying equipment. Apply the same total amount of product to the target crop whether applying this product by dilute or concentrate spraying methods. DO NOT use at concentrations greater than 40 mL/100 L of water. Dilute Spraying Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of run-off. The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to be changed, as the crop grows. Concentrate Spraying Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see Dilute Spraying above) for the crop canopy. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way: Example only 1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example 1200 L/ha 2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example 600 L/ha 3. The concentration factor in this example is: 2 X (i.e. 1200 L ÷ 600 L = 2) 4. If the dilute label rate is 15 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 2 x 15, which is 30 mL/100 L of concentrate spray. The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water, and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practices. APPLICATION: Bananas l e b a L n e m i c e p S Ground Application Apply by misting or air-blast machines to provide thorough coverage of all foliage. Aerial Application Apply by aircraft in a minimum total volume of 20 L/ha. APPLICATION: Wheat DO NOT apply to wheat by aircraft. Ground Application Apply in spray volumes from 50 to 100 L of water /ha using a medium quality spray. Good coverage is required for best results. PRECAUTION: Re-entry Period DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried unless wearing cotton overalls (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day.

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. MIXING Prior to pouring, shake container vigorously, then add the required quantity of Kerb 500 SC to water in the spray vat while stirring or with agitators in motion. DO NOT mix with other pesticides. EQUIPMENT The product should be applied with properly calibrated spray equipment. Select nozzles to give uniform ground cover. Equipment which has previously been used for the application of other weed killers must be thoroughly decontaminated before use. A suggested method is: Drain the tank, hoses and boom completely of any remaining residues. Flush with water and drain completely. Refill with a solution containing 300 mL household ammonia per 120 litres of water with detergent. Leave to stand overnight, drain and finally flush again thoroughly with clean water. Wash spray equipment thoroughly after use. l e b a L n e m i c e p S RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING Kerb is a member of the amide group of herbicides. Kerb belongs to the herbicide group with diverse sites of action. For weed resistance management, Kerb is a Group D herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to Kerb and other Group D 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 Kerb or other Group D herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Kerb 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 local Dow AgroSciences representative.

Legend Fungicide has no curative activity and does not control existing infection (powdery mildew between infection and visible stage). Use 10 mL rate as part of a protectant spray program. Retreat every 7-10 days as necessary. Concentrate Spraying: Refer to the Mixing/Application Section Use 20 mL rate during periods when high or sustained infection pressure is expected. Retreat every 10-14 days as necessary. l e b a L n e m i c e p S Apply by dilute or concentrate spraying equipment. Apply the same total amount of product to the vines whether applied by either method. DO NOT use more than 3 applications to any vine crop in one season. Legend Fungicide is a foliar applied protectant fungicide that only has preventative properties. The protectant activity demonstrated by Legend Fungicide when applied to plant foliage is primarily by volatilization and reabsorption onto new, untreated plant material. Protection is not limited to the leaf to which it is applied. Legend Fungicide is strongly bound to leaf waxes and therefore not easily washed off the foliage by rain if allowed to dry after application. NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION. WITHHOLDING PERIOD HARVEST WITHHOLDING PERIOD: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 14 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION. STOCKFOOD WITHHOLDING PERIOD: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED. Grapes For Export Wine: REFER TO THE AWRI WINEGRID. EXPORT OF TREATED PRODUCE Table grape growers should note that suitable MRLs or import tolerances may not be established in all markets for table grapes treated with Legend Fungicide. If you are growing table grapes for export, please check with Dow AgroSciences for the latest information on MRLs and export tolerances before using Legend Fungicide. 194 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 MIXING Agitate or shake the container vigorously prior to use. The required amount of Legend Fungicide should be added to a half-full spray tank and agitated well during completion of filling. Ensure constant and thorough agitation by mechanical or hydraulic action during mixing and application. Do not leave spray solutions to stand overnight. STORAGE OF DILUTED SPRAY MIX Whenever possible use the spray mix immediately after it is prepared. However if undesirable weather conditions or mechanical breakdown occur, the stored spray mix may be used up to 6 hours after initial mixing. Ensure regular agitation by mechanical or hydraulic action to thoroughly remix every 3 hours. The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way: Example Only 1) Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example, 1500 L/ha 2) Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example, 500 L/ha 3) The concentration factor in this example is: 3 x (i.e. 1500 L ÷ 500 L = 3) 4) If the dilute label rate is 10 mL/100 L (low Legend rate), then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 10, i.e. 30 mL/100 L of concentrate spray. The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practices. UNIT CANOPY ROW (UCR) APPLICATION Another method for determining the amount of product to spray is called the unit canopy row method. This method is not based on planted area (rate/ha) or row spacing but considers the width and height of the foliage to determine the appropriate volume to apply either as a dilute spray or a concentrate spray. The applied volume per hectare increases as row spacings become smaller and canopy sizes increase. This method of application is described in a Fact Sheet (Agdex 210/744, June 2000 by Geoff Furness and Peter Magarey) obtainable from SARDI Loxton Centre. For further information on how to apply this method, contact your local advisor, department of agriculture staff, the factsheet above or the authors. l e b a L n e m i c e p S APPLICATION For volumes of, or greater than, 1000 L/ha, use the dilute spray rate. If volume to be applied is less than 1000 L/ha then use the concentrate spraying application method. Application volume will vary with vine growth stage, canopy density, pruning regime and crop vigour. For best results follow the recommendations below. DILUTE SPRAYING APPLICATION Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of first run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the Directions for Use table for each 100 L of water in the tank. Spray to the point of run-off. The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to be changed, as the crop grows. Thorough coverage of the grapevines and bunches is essential. CONCENTRATE SPRAYING APPLICATION Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is, a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see DILUTE SPRAYING above) for the crop canopy. Consult your local advisor, agronomist or Department of Primary Industries to determine this volume. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. COMPATIBILITY Legend Fungicide is NOT compatible with fungicides containing fosetyl as the aluminium salt. However Legend Fungicide is compatible with a range of products as follows: Insecticides Lorsban™ 750 WG Miticides Pyridaben and tebufenpyrad Fungicides Chlorothalonil, copper hydroxide, copper oxychloride, dithianon, Dithane™ Rainshield™ Neo Tec™, mancozeb, iprodione, procymidone, spiroxamine, pyrimethanil, sulphur and thiram. RAINFASTNESS Legend Fungicide is rainfast one hour after application. CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT After using Legend Fungicide empty the spray tank and completely drain the system. Rinse the tank, pumps, lines, hoses, filters and nozzles by circulating clean water through the system. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 195 LEGEND GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS LEGEND FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING Legend Fungicide is a member of the phenoxyquinoline group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management the product is a Group 13 Fungicide, which interfere with spore germination and appressoria formation. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to the product and other Group 13 Fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungal population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by this product or other Group 13 Fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant fungi. Since Legend Fungicide has a unique mode of action, it will control powdery mildew that may be resistant to fungicides from groups with other modes of action. To help prevent the onset of resistance DO NOT apply more than three applications of Legend Fungicide or any product containing an active ingredient from the same class or mode of action group, to any grapevine crop in any one season. SMALL SPILL MANAGEMENT Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Wear a face shield or goggles, overalls buttoned to neck and wrist, chemical resistant gloves and footwear. Stop leak when safe to do so. Dam area and prevent entry into waterways, and drains. Small spills/leaks: Absorb with material such as sand, soil or sawdust. Collect spilled product and place in sealable container for disposal. Spill residues may be cleaned using water and detergent. Contain and absorb wash water for disposal.

Spraying may be done at any time during active growth, usually in early winter or spring. Avoid spraying during the dormant winter period or at any time when thistles are not actively growing. Do not spray flowering thistles. PRE-SPRAY MANAGEMENT: The pasture should be slightly grazed prior to spraying to reduce clover and grass cover and expose the smaller thistles to the spray. The grazed pasture should be left 7 days to allow thistles to freshen prior to treatment. POST-TREATMENT MANAGEMENT: Response of thistles to treatment with the Lontrel plus MCPA mixture will be slow compared to the standard treatments with 2,4-D or MCPA. If possible delay grazing of sprayed thistles for 14 days after treatment. CLOVER DAMAGE: The Lontrel plus MCPA mixture can be very damaging to subterranean clover. The lower rate is no more damaging than label rates of 2,4-D or MCPA. The higher rate of the Lontrel plus MCPA mixture will reduce the clover component of the pasture for about 2 months. Clover recovery will be quicker during periods of active growth. HANDGUN (Spot spray): Treat from rosette stage to early flowering. Thorough spraying is necessary. DRENCHGUN: Apply 10 mL to rosette crown. To multicrown plants, apply 10 mL to each crown. l e b a L n e m i c e p S LONTREL Thistles including: Nodding Variegated Scotch Spear Slender Saffron 200 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 Rosette stage prior to stem elongation.

PARTIAL CLEANING (before spraying other labelled or tolerant crops): After using Lontrel, 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 Lontrel, 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 at 500 g (or mL)/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Drain, remove filters and nozzles and clean separately. Rinse inside the tank thoroughly using a pressure hose and flush system with clean water. l e b a L n e m i c e p S GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS MIXING LONTREL 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. Half fill the spray tank with water and add the required quantity of Lontrel and complete filling. Agitate continuously to ensure thorough mixing before and during application. Only mix sufficient chemical for each day’s work. Tank mixtures: Wettable powder or dry flowable formulations should be added to the spray tank first, followed by suspension concentrates (flowables), aqueous concentrates (Lontrel) and the emulsifiable concentrate formulations (e.g. Verdict™ 520 or MCPA LVE). RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING COMPATIBILITY Lontrel is compatible with the following: BROADLEAF HERBICIDES: Starane™ 200 or Starane™ Advanced, Ally®, bromoxynil, chlorsulfuron, diuron, glyphosate, MCPA amine, MCPA LVE, paraquat, SpraySeed®, terbutryn, 2,4-D amine. GRASS HERBICIDES IN CEREAL CROPS: Diclofop methyl, Grasp®+, Puma®+ (+ Grasp and Puma for wild oat control only). GRASS HERBICIDES ON BROADLEAF CROPS: Verdict™ 520 Herbicide. APPLICATION BOOM SPRAYING CROP and PASTURES: Apply Lontrel in sufficient water to obtain good coverage. It should be applied by an accurately calibrated ground rig or aircraft, delivering 200 to 300 micron droplets and not less than 50 L/ha water volume for boom sprayers or not less than 20 L/ha for aerial applications. Hardhead thistle - Use a spray volume of 200 to 250 L/ha of water. Silver wattle - Use a spray volume of 150 to 200 L/ha of water by ground boomspray and a minimum spray volume of 50 L/ha by aircraft. HIGH VOLUME HAND GUN: Apply the recommended mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems through a No. 6-8 tip at 700 to 1500 kPa. Spray volume for effective coverage of dense 2 metre high silver wattle should be 30 to 40 litres of spray per 100 m2 (10 m x 10 m) of infestation. For larger areas an equivalent would be 3000 to 4000 litres per infested hectare. 202 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 Lontrel Herbicide is a member of the pyridines group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other disrupters of plant cell growth 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 the product or other disrupters of plant cell growth herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of the product 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 local Dow AgroSciences representative. 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. PLANTBACK PERIODS FOR SOUTHERN AUSTRALIAN WINTER DOMINANT RAINFALL AREAS (Sth NSW, VIC, SA, WA) Required rainfall - 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: l e b a L n e m i c e p S Following Crops Rate (mL/ha) Clover, chickpea, faba bean, field pea, lentils, lupins, medics and vetch Up to 300 9 months 300 - 500 12 months > 500 24 months All label rates 1 week Barley, canola, wheat, oats Plantback Interval 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 soilf or 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) and Plantback Interval Up to 75 mL/ha >75 - 300 mL/ha Chickpea, cotton, soybean, sunflower 3 months 6 months Lucerne 9 months 9 months Maize, sorghum 1 week 2 weeks Wheat, barley, oats, canola 1 week 1 week Note: Susceptible crops should not be sown for at least 2 years where Lontrel Herbicide at more than 300 mL/ha has been used in northern Australia. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 203 LONTREL Composts and mulches - DO NOT apply Lontrel Herbicide 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 Lontrel 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 Lontrel at 500 mL/ha. Where Lontrel residue carry over from use rates of less than 500 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 date 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). • 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 a 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 Lontrel herbicide 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. PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK SAFETY DIRECTIONS DO NOT graze or cut treated crops for stock food except as specified under WITHHOLDING PERIODS. • May irritate the eyes and skin. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. • DO NOT inhale the spray mist. • When preparing the spray, wear elbow-length PVC gloves and a face shield. • 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 and face shield.

DO NOT use a higher spray system pressure than the maximum the manufacturer specifies for the selected nozzle to deliver the droplet size category required in the label Spray Drift Restraint. Quarter fill the tank again and add a liquid alkali detergent at 500 mL/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Drain, remove filters and nozzles and clean separately. Rinse inside the tank thoroughly using a pressure hose and flush system with clean water. These tank cleaning recommendations are for Lontrel only. Please consult tankmix partner labels to determine requirements for decontamination. 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. l e b a L n e m i c e p S Apply in 50-100 L water/ha using at least a coarse spray through accurately calibrated equipment. Hardhead thistle – Use at least a coarse spray and 200 to 250 L/ha of water. Silver wattle – Use at least a coarse spray and 150 to 200 L/ha of water. AERIAL APPLICATION Apply in not less than 20 L water/ha using a COARSE spray through accurately calibrated equipment. DO NOT use less than 50 L/ha for silver wattle. Fixed wing: For up to a maximum aircraft speed of 120 knots and a COARSE droplet size category, USE ONLY narrow angle flat fan nozzles with spray angle less than or equal to 40° and oriented straight back to the light direction. USE ONLY a spray system pressure greater than or equal to 4 bar. Helicopter: For helicopter applications requiring a COARSE or a VERY COARSE spray droplet size category, USE ONLY nozzles selected with the methods previously specified for fixed-wing aircraft in Section 2. MOTORISED HIGH VOLUME HAND GUN Apply the recommended mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems through a No. 6-8 tip at 700 to 1500 kPa. Spray volume for effective coverage of dense two metre high silver wattle should be 30 to 40 litres of spray per 100 m2 (10 m x 10 m) of infestation. For larger areas an equivalent would be 3000 to 4000 litres per infested hectare. CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT PARTIAL CLEANING (before spraying other labelled or tolerant crops): After using Lontrel Advanced, 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 crops that are susceptible to residues of Lontrel Advanced). After using Lontrel Advanced, 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. RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING Lontrel Advanced is a member of the pyridines group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I 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 the product or other Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of the product 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 local Dow AgroSciences representative. 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 Lontrel Advanced 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 Lontrel 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 Lontrel Advanced at 500 mL/ha. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 211 LONTREL ADVANCED APPLICATION LONTREL ADVANCED Where Lontrel Advanced residue carryover 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 four to six weeks before desired planting date 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). • 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 four to six weeks before desired planting date. If any herbicide symptoms are observed, only plant either canola or a 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 residues 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 Lontrel Advanced 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 < 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 NORTHERN AUSTRALIA SUMMER DOMINANT RAINFALL AREAS (Nth NSW, QLD): PLANTBACK PERIODS FOR SOUTHERN AUSTRALIAN WINTER DOMINANT RAINFALL AREAS (Sth NSW, VIC, SA, WA): DO NOT graze or cut treated crops for stock food except as specified under WITHHOLDING PERIODS. Required rainfall before plantback: If planting susceptible summer crops – at least 100 mm rain or irrigation. If planting susceptible winter crops – at least 150 mm rain or irrigation. If planting a cereal or canola crop – at least 50 mm of rain or irrigation. For all situations, sufficient rainfall or irrigation to enable soil wetting for at least one week is essential to enable residue breakdown before planting susceptible crops. Where these requirements have been met the following plantback periods apply: l e b a L n e m i c e p S Required rainfall - A minimum 25 mm rain event in the post harvest summer to autumn period, with a subsequent extended period of at least one 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: Following Crops Rate (mL/ha) used previously Plantback Interval Clover, chickpea, faba bean, field pea, lentils, lupins, medics and vetch Up to 150 9 months 150-250 12 months >250 24 months All label rates 1 week Barley, canola, wheat, oats 212 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 Following Crops Rate (mL/ha) and plantback interval Up to 40 mL/ha >40 -150 mL/ha Lucerne 9 months 9 months Chickpea, Cotton Soybean, Sunflower 3 months 6 months Maize, sorghum 1 week 2 weeks Wheat, barley, oats, canola 1 week 1 week Note: Susceptible crops should not be sown for at least two years where Lontrel Advanced at more than 150 mL/ha has been used in Northern Australia. Cereals and canola may be safely planted less than one week after application. However, post-emergent weed control may be reduced due to soil disturbance if one week is not allowed after application.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 219 LONTREL 750 SG WEED LONTREL 750 SG CRITICAL COMMENTS - Thistle control in pasture. 1. Hardhead thistles – DO NOT USE HANDGUN APPLICATION ON LUCERNE, CLOVERS AND MEDICS AS THEY WILL BE ELIMINATED FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR. Victoria only: Use the lower rate only on light soils (sand and sandy loam) where a slightly lower degree of control is acceptable. Use the higher rate on all soil types where complete control is required. Addition of a wetting agent at label rates is recommended for treatment of hardhead thistle. Spray between September and April on actively growing plants for effective control. Thorough coverage is essential. Apply in 200 to 250 L of water/ha. 2. BOOM SPRAYING: Use the higher rates of Lontrel™ 750 SG plus MCPA on multi-crowned plants or rosettes larger than 30 cm in diameter. Spraying may be done at any time during active growth, usually in early winter or spring. Avoid spraying during the dormant winter period or at any time when thistles are not actively growing. Do not spray flowering thistles. 3. PRE-SPRAY MANAGEMENT: The pasture should be slightly grazed prior to spraying to reduce clover and grass cover and expose the smaller thistles to the spray. The grazed pasture should be left seven days to allow thistles to freshen prior to treatment. 4. POST-TREATMENT MANAGEMENT: Response of thistles to treatment with the Lontrel™ 750 SG plus MCPA mixture will be slow compared to the standard treatments with 2,4-D or MCPA. If possible delay grazing of sprayed thistles for 14 days after treatment. 5. CLOVER DAMAGE: Lontrel™ 750 SG plus MCPA or 2,4-D mixtures can be damaging to clover. The low rate is no more damaging than label rates of 2,4-D or MCPA. Use 20 g/ha mixes when clover is at the 6 trifoliate leaf stage to just prior to flowering. The 28 g/ha mix will reduce the clover component of the pasture for about two months. Use the 28 g/ha mix from 6 trifolate leaf stage to flowering to minimise clover injury, and when clover has reached the 6 to 8 trifoliate leaf stage and where thistles are large due to early germination. Clover recovery will be quicker during periods of active growth. If clover damage is the major consideration, use the lower Lontrel™ 750 SG rate to minimise damage. 6. Gramoxone mixes are for lucerne pasture use only. Simazine mixes are for silver grass control and for lucerne based pastures only. 7. HANDGUN (Spot spray): Treat from rosette stage to early flowering. Thorough spraying is necessary. 8. DRENCHGUN: Apply 10 mL to rosette crown. To multicrown plants, apply 10 mL to each crown. l e b a L n e m i c e p S Table 8: Agricultural Non-crop Areas, Commercial and Industrial Areas, Forests, Pastures and Rights-of-Way – Stem Injection Application on Acacia Species Mix 200 g Lontrel™ 750 SG with 2.5 L of water and apply the diluted mix as directed below WEED GROWTH STAGE APPLICATION RATE Single stems less than 25 cm diameter at base 1 mL of the diluted mix per cut @ 10 to 13 cm centres Multiple stems or more than 25 cm diameter at base 2 mL of the diluted mix per cut @ 10 to 13 cm centres CRITICAL COMMENTS Apply to waist high cuts.

Lontrel™ 750 SG granules are highly soluble in water and will dissolve rapidly once added to fast moving water. Maintain agitation at all times, including during mixing as well as spraying. Spray rigs with premix hoppers For spray rigs that have a drop down chemical induction hopper, three-quarter fill this hopper with water and have the rinsing sprinkler operating. Add the Lontrel™ 750 SG and when dissolved, transfer this batch into the quarter filled main tank. Continue to rinse the hopper until the entire product has washed through. GRASS HERBICIDES ON BROADLEAF CROPS: Verdict™ 520 Herbicide, Select®, OnDuty®, atrazine, simazine. GRASS HERBICIDES IN CEREAL CROPS: Diclofop methyl, AchieveWG®, Wildcat®, Topik® 240 EC, Tristar®. Compatibilities for each herbicide and key grass weeds can be obtained from your Dow AgroSciences Representative of from Customer Service Toll Free on 1-800 700 096. ADJUVANTS: Uptake™ Spraying Oil, BS-1000 APPLICATION BOOM SPRAYING CROP and PASTURES: Apply Lontrel™ 750 SG in sufficient water to obtain good coverage. It should be applied by an accurately calibrated ground rig or aircraft, delivering 200 to 300 micron droplets and not less than 50 L/ha water volume for boom sprayers or not less than 20 L/ha for aerial applications. Hardhead thistle – Use a spray volume of 200 to 250 L/ha of water. l e b a L n e m i c e p S Spray rigs with limited bypass agitation For spray rigs that have limited bypass agitation, then as for most granulated formulations, pre-dissolve the Lontrel™ 750 SG in a bucket before adding them to the main tank. Add Lontrel™ 750 SG while stirring until the granules have dissolved. Tank-mixes: The following order should be followed: 1. Quarter fill the spray tank maintaining agitation. 2. Add Lontrel™ 750 SG granules, using the mixing procedure above. 3. Add Verdict 520 if it is to be used in the tank-mix. 4. Add water to half fill the spray tank. 5. Add wettable powders, water dispersible granules or suspension concentrates. 6. Add other emulsifiable concentrates including other selective grass herbicides. 7. If Uptake Spraying Oil is to be used add this when spray tank is half full. 8. If other adjuvants or a wetting agent is to be used than add these according to their label. 9. Add water to bring to the final spray volume. Only mix sufficient spray solution for immediate use and avoid storing. COMPATIBILITY Conventional Canola: Lontrel™ 750 SG + Verdict™ 520 + Uptake™ Spraying Oil are compatible and selective. Triazine Tolerant Canola: Atrazine + Lontrel™ 750 SG + Verdict™ 520 + Uptake™ Spraying Oil are compatible and selective. Clearfield Canola: OnDuty® + Lontrel™ 750 SG are compatible and selective. Lontrel™ 750 SG is compatible with the following: BROADLEAF HERBICIDES: Starane™200 or Starane™ Advanced, Ally®, bromoxynil, bromoxynil/MCPA LVE, chlorsulfuron, diuron, glyphosate, MCPA amine, MCPA LVE, paraquat, Spray-Seed®, terbutryn, 2,4-D amine, Broadstrike™, Eclipse®, Eclipse/MCPA LVE, Ally®/MCPA LVE, Garlon 600™, atrazine, simazine, Tordon 242™, Tigrex®. HIGH VOLUME HAND GUN: Apply the recommended mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems through a No. 6-8 tip at 700 to 1500 kPa. Spray volume for effective coverage of dense pasture weeds should be 10 to 15 litres of spray per 100 m2 (10 m x 10 m) of infestation. For larger areas an equivalent would be 1000 to 1500 litres per infested hectare. STEM INJECTION To make a stem injection pocket at waist height, use a ¾ length axe with a blade width of 5 to 7 cm. The axe cut must be through the bark and deep enough to place all the chemical in contact with the sap wood. The chemical must be applied immediately after the injection pocket is made. Apply chemical with a Phillips 5 mL vaccinator fitted with a tree injector kit which can be accurately calibrated. Set vaccinator to deliver 1 mL of the diluted mix. When treating regrowth less than the width of the axe, ensure chemical does not run out the sides of the cut, as reduced control will result. This can be overcome by using the corner of the axe to make the pocket in the stem. 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 watercourses. PARTIAL CLEANING (before spraying crops that are selective to Lontrel™ 750 SG): After using Lontrel™ 750 SG, 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 crops that are susceptible to Lontrel™ 750 SG residues): After using Lontrel™ 750 SG, 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. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 221 LONTREL 750 SG GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Quarter fill the tank again and add an alkali detergent (e.g. Surf®, Omo®, Drive®) at 500 mL/100 L water or 500 g/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least fifteen minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Drain, remove filters and nozzles and clean separately. Rinse inside the tank thoroughly using a pressure hose and flush system with clean water. Chlorine based cleaners are NOT recommended. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area, or if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and watercourses. l e b a L n e m i c e p S RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING LONTREL 750 SG Where Lontrel™ 750 SG Herbicide residue carryover from use rates of less than 200 g/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 four to six weeks before desired planting date 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). • 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 four to six weeks before desired planting date. If any herbicide symptoms are observed, only plant either canola or a 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 residues 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 and summer cereal or canola. Planting crops following use of Lontrel™ 750 SG Herbicide in previous crop – planting crops ‘dry’ without significant rain (see below) in the ‘autumn break’ of increases the risk of injury to susceptible crops. This practice should be avoided, or only plant a winter or irrigated summer cereal, or canola. In severely dry conditions, where less than 30% of average annual rainfall and/or less than the minimum rain has fallen between application and planting the next year, only plant a winter or summer cereal or canola. Lontrel™ 750 SG Herbicide is a member of the pyridines group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I 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 I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of the product 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 local Dow AgroSciences representative. 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 Lontrel™ 750 SG Herbicide 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 Lontrel™ 750 SG may cause damage to susceptible crops and plants. Susceptible crops and plants include, but are not limited to chickpeas, clovers, 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 Lontrel™ 750 SG at 200 g/ha. PLANTBACK PERIODS FOR SOUTHERN AUSTRALIAN WINTER DOMINANT RAINFALL AREAS (Sth NSW, VIC, SA, WA): Required rainfall – 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: Continued overleaf 222 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 PLANTBACK PERIODS FOR SOUTHERN AUSTRALIAN WINTER DOMINANT RAINFALL AREAS (Sth NSW, VIC, SA, WA) continued Following Crops Rate (g/ha) used previously Clover, chickpea, faba bean, field pea, lentils, lupins, medics and vetch Barley, canola, wheat, oats Plantback Interval Up to 120 9 months > 120 – 200 12 months > 200 24 months All label rates 1 week l e b a L n e m i c e p S 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.

INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING For insecticide resistance management Lorsban 500 EC Insecticide is a Group 1B insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Lorsban 500 EC Insecticide and other Group 1B insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Lorsban 500 EC Insecticide or other Group 1B insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Lorsban 500 EC Insecticide on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Lorsban 500 EC Insecticide to control resistant insects. Lorsban 500 EC Insecticide may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier or Dow AgroSciences representative. A spray drift management strategy such as those in the ‘Best Management Practices Manual for Cotton Growers’ or the ‘Pilots and Operators Manual’ should be applied. Option for minimising drift to sensitive areas include not spraying within a certain distance of sensitive areas when the wind is blowing towards them (see table for guidance) or ensuring that drifting spray will be intercepted by a catching surface such as a row of shelter trees, an unsprayed row of orchard trees, or hail netting. Situation Recommended buffer distance (m) l e b a L n e m i c e p S PRECAUTIONS Re-entry periods Field crops, tree crops and vines: DO NOT allow entry into treated crops until spray deposits have dried. If prior entry is required, limit duration of entry and wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use. Cotton chippers: DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until spray deposits have dried. After this time wear shoes, or boots, socks, long trousers, long sleeved shirt, gloves and hat. PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK DO NOT feed grass clippings to poultry or other animals. Dangerous to bees. DO NOT spray any plants in flower while bees are foraging. PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT DO NOT contaminate food, feed or domestic water supplies. HIGHLY TOXIC TO BIRDS AND REPTILES. VERY HIGHLY TOXIC TO FISH AND AQUATIC INVERTEBRATES DO NOT re-apply to the same crop within 7 days (unless specifically recommended in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE) Spray drift may occur under adverse meteorological conditions or from certain spray equipment. DO NOT allow spray to drift onto sensitive areas including, but not limited to, natural streams, rivers or waterways and human dwellings. 236 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 Orchard (dormant trees, citrus, large trees) 30 Cotton (aerial application) 300 Other crops (aerial application) 100 DO NOT apply if heavy rains or storms that are likely to cause surface runoff are forecast in the immediate area within two days of application.

The use of this product is subject to a CropLife Australia Fungicide Resistance Management Strategy. Please refer to GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS for details. Concentrate spraying Refer to the Mixing/ Application section l e b a L n e m i c e p S NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION WITHHOLDING PERIOD: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 14 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING Mycloss Xtra Fungicide is a member of the DMI group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management the product is a Group 3 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to the product and other Group 3 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungal population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by this product and other Group 3 fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that result from failure of this product to control resistant fungi. Fungicide Resistance Management Strategy MIXING Two-thirds fill the spray tank with water and agitate or stir while adding the required quantity of Mycloss Xtra Fungicide. Add other products after Mycloss Xtra Fungicide has been fully mixed. Top up spray tank to the required level and agitate before commencing spraying. APPLICATION in VINEYARDS Mycloss Xtra Fungicide may be applied with conventional drive past orchard sprayers. DO NOT apply by aircraft. DILUTE SPRAYING Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE table for each 100 L of water. 1. Apply no more than 3 Group 3 sprays per season. Spray to the point of run-off. 2. Use a non-Group 3 fungicide for mid to late season control of powdery mildew. The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to be changed, as the crop grows. For grapevines, a minimum volume of 800 L/ha pre-flowering and 1000 to 1500 L/ha from flowering onwards is recommended. 244 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see DILUTE SPRAYING) for the crop canopy or consult your local adviser, agronomist or Department of Agriculture to determine this volume. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. Additionally, some export markets have established MRLs different to those in Australia. If you are growing grapes for export (either fresh, dried or wine), please check with your exporter or the Australian Wine Research Institute for the latest information on MRLs and import tolerances BEFORE using Mycloss Xtra Fungicide. PRECAUTION: Re-entry Period DO NOT enter treated areas until the spray has dried unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing), elbow-length PVC gloves and footwear. Grape girdling should not be performed for 4 days after application, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing), elbow-length PVC gloves and footwear. l e b a L n e m i c e p S The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way: Concentrate Spraying Example 1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example 1000 L/ha 2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example 500 L/ha 3. The concentration factor in this example is: 2X (ie 1000 L ÷ 500 L = 2) 4. If the dilute label rate is 16 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 2 x 16, that is 32 mL/100 L of concentrate spray. The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water, and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. Do not use a concentrate rate higher than that specified in the CRITICAL COMMENTS. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practices. COMPATIBILITY Mycloss Xtra Fungicide may be mixed with some formulations of the following chemicals: metiram, phosphorus acid, mancozeb + benalaxyl and wettable sulphur. Before preparing tank mixes of Mycloss Xtra Fungicide with other products, the user is advised to check the manufacturers’ recommendations on the product labels. As formulations of other manufacturers’ products are beyond the control of Dow AgroSciences Australia Ltd, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities. Export of Treated Fruit Growers should note that MRLs or import tolerances do not exist in all markets for fruit treated with Mycloss Xtra Fungicide. PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK Low hazard to bees. Application of Mycloss Xtra Fungicide to vines at any time will not cause harm to bees. PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used container.

Mangos and pears are particularly susceptible to blemishes, discolouration or severe spotting (superficial on the skin only) from protein-based baits. The risk of phytotoxicity is increased during hot, dry conditions and re-application of spray to the same location on the plants. If using a weekly spray program, alternate tree or crop rows to which the product is applied. Re-apply if rain washes bait off the foliage. NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION. NATURALURE WITHHOLDING PERIOD: All crops Not required when used as directed GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS MIXING Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate is a protein and sugar based bait containing the active ingredient spinosad. Once applied, fruit flies can detect the bait from several metres away. Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate can be diluted with water (see MIXING section below) to produce either a concentrated or a dilute solution. Use the concentrated solution if application equipment will allow, as this will maximise bait longevity and improve rainfastness. If necessary, remove filters and strainers from spraying equipment to avoid blockages. Note: Baiting for fruit fly control should be supplemented by good orchard management practices such as removal of fallen and/or rotting fruit. Once mixed, constant agitation of the spray solution is recommended to ensure uniformity of spray mixture. Allow agitation system to operate for at least 5 minutes before applying. Once diluted, the solution should be used within 24 hours. Concentrated Solution: Mix 1 part of Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate with 1.5 parts of water. First add water (equivalent to one-half of the volume of Naturalure Concentrate to be mixed) to the spray tank and start the agitation system. Then add the full amount of Naturalure Concentrate followed by an equal amount of water. Dilute Solution: Mix 1 part of Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate with 6.5 parts of water. First add water (equivalent to the volume of Naturalure Concentrate to be mixed) to the spray tank or premixing tank and start the agitation system. Then add the full amount of Naturalure Concentrate followed by the remaining amount of water. INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING For insecticide resistance management Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate is a Group 5 insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate and other Group 5 insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate or other Group 5 insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate to control resistant insects. 248 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 APPLICATION Begin applications as soon as monitoring traps indicate flies are present and fruit is at a susceptible stage. Repeat applications every 7 days, re-applying sooner if rain washes off the deposit. A large spray droplet size of 4000 to 6000 µ (4-6 mm) is recommended to optimise duration of bait’s attractiveness to flies. Apply as either a band or spot spray to the lower canopy of fruiting plants as follows: Band sprays (concentrated or dilute solution): Apply as a coarse spray in a 1m wide band to the skirt of trees. Apply to one side of every row or every second row of trees. Spots should be distributed evenly throughout an orchard to optimise effectiveness. Adjust the application of the spots to suit the number of trees per hectare, but do not exceed the application rate above. water for disposal. Absorb and collect washings and place in the same sealable container for disposal. Dam the area of large spills and report them to Dow AgroSciences Emergency Services at 1-800 033 882. SAFETY DIRECTIONS • May irritate the eyes. Avoid contact with eyes. • If product is in eyes, wash it out immediately with water. • After use and before eating, drinking or smoking, wash hands, arms and face thoroughly with soap and water. After using Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate empty the tank and completely drain the system. Rinse the tank, pumps, lines, hoses, filters and nozzles by circulating clean water through the system. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate contains proteins from a plant extract to which some people may be allergic. If you are concerned about a potential allergic response, it is advisable to wear gloves and/or some face protection such as a dust mask when mixing or using the product. Take care to avoid contact of the product or spray solution with skin and eyes. PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK FIRST AID CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT l e b a L n e m i c e p S Dangerous to bees. Avoid direct application or drift of the spray mix onto beehives. DO NOT spray on plants in flower if bees are active. Once the spray deposit has dried, foraging bees will not be affected. PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT DO NOT allow the product or used containers to enter dams, ponds, waterways or drains. DO NOT apply in strong winds or any other conditions that may result in drift onto adjacent pastures, crops or water supplies. PROTECTION OF NON-TARGET INSECTS Beneficial insects contribute to control of pest outbreaks. Applications of Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate are unlikely to affect lacewings (Chrysopa spp.), predatory bugs (Geocoris, Orius and Nabis spp.), spiders and most species of ladybird beetles (Coccinella, Diomus and Harmonia spp.). However some species of beneficial insects may be sensitive to Naturalure Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate and its use may temporarily reduce populations of parasitoid wasps (especially Trichogramma spp.), ants, some beetles and tachinid flies. This may lead to some disruption of IPM systems based on these species, but generally populations will recover. If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre.

MIXING/APPLICATION MIXING Prior to pouring, shake container vigorously, then add the required quantity of Prodigy to water in the spray vat while stirring or with agitators in motion. NOTE – CROPS INTENDED FOR EXPORT: Prodigy Insecticide may leave detectable chemical residues in harvested produce. Overseas markets may not have appropriate residue tolerances in place or may have established tolerances which are lower than Australian maximum residue limits. Some crops for export to these destinations may require a longer harvest withholding period. If you plan to use this product on crops destined for export, please check with your exporter before using Prodigy Insecticide. COMPATIBILITY GRAZING WITHHOLDING PERIOD DILUTE SPRAYING Prodigy is incompatible with mineral spray oils. DO NOT mix concentrates together but add each to the spray tank separately. As formulations of other manufacturers' products are beyond the control of Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities. As changes in climatic conditions can alter the sensitivity of plants to mixtures of sprays, Dow AgroSciences cannot be responsible for the behaviour of such mixtures. l e b a L n e m i c e p S All crops, orchards, plantations and vineyards: DO NOT graze treated crops. DO NOT allow livestock to graze within treated orchards, plantations or vineyards. Grapes, blueberries and coffee: DO NOT apply when there are livestock, pasture or any land that is producing feed for livestock within 5 m downwind of the application area. Tomato, peppers, egg-plants and okra: DO NOT apply when there are livestock, pasture or any land that is producing feed for livestock within 15 m downwind of the application area. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Prodigy Insecticide is very suitable for use in orchards and vineyards using integrated pest management (IPM) programs. INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING For insecticide resistance management, Prodigy Insecticide is a Group 18 insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Prodigy and other Group 18 insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Prodigy and other Group 18 insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Prodigy on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Prodigy to control resistant insects. Prodigy may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Dow AgroSciences representative or local agricultural department agronomist. Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of run-off. The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to change as the crop grows. CONCENTRATE SPRAYING Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see DILUTE SPRAYING above) for the crop canopy. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way. EXAMPLE ONLY 1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example, 1500 L/ha 2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example, 500 L/ha 3. The concentration factor in this example is 3X (i.e. 1500 L ÷ 500L = 3) 4. If the dilute label rate is 25 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 25, that is; 75 mL/100 L of concentrate spray. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 253 PRODIGY Grapes (for export or wine production): Consult your winery, industry spray diary or peak industry body for the recommended withholding period (export harvest interval) required to meet export residue requirements. PRODIGY The chosen spray volume and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. DO NOT use a concentrate rate higher than that specified in the CRITICAL COMMENTS. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practices. PRECAUTIONS RE-ENTRY DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried. If prior entry is necessary, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day's use. SPILL AND LEAK MANAGEMENT Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Wear a face shield or goggles, overalls buttoned to neck and wrist, chemical resistant gloves and footwear.

Wheat - Stripe rust - moderately susceptible varieties apply when 15% to 20% leaves infected. Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the Directions for Use table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of run-off. The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation also may need to be changed, as the crop grows. l e b a L n e m i c e p S Dow AgroSciences PropiMax Fungicide is a member of the DMI group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management the product is a Group 3 Fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to the product and other Group 3 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungal population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by this product or other Group 3 fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant fungi. MIXING Shake well before use. Fill the spray tank and then add concentrate. Mix well. Pineapples - Pre-plant dip: Add the required amount of PropiMax directly to the dip and mix well. Avoid excessive contamination of the dip with organic matter. APPLICATION PropiMax may be applied by ground rig, high or low volume, or by air. Cereals: May be applied by boom spray or aircraft. Ensure complete coverage of all leaves and stems is obtained. The objective of spraying is to keep the upper 2-3 leaves green and functioning through grain filling stage. With aircraft, as a guide, apply 10 - 20 L/ha with the lower rate being used when applications are made with a cross wind of not less than 5 knots. Use the higher volume when applying to dense crops. Bananas: Apply by misting machine, air blast sprayer or aircraft. Use a minimum of 30 L water if applying by air. Apricots, Plums and other Stone Fruit: Apply by high volume (dilute) sprayer or by concentrate sprayer. Concentrate Spraying: Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see Dilute Spraying) for the crop canopy, this is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way: Example only: 1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: for example 1500 L/ha. 2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: for example 500 L/ha. 3. The concentration factor in this example is: 3 x (i.e. 1500 L ÷ 500 L = 3). 4. If the dilute label is 10 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 10, that is 30 mL/100 L of concentrate spray. The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water, and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practices. RE-ENTRY PERIOD DO NOT enter treated area until spray has dried. COMPATIBILITY PropiMax may be mixed with any one of the registered products containing azinphos-methyl, chlorothalonil, copper oxychloride, demeton-s-methyl, diazinon, dimethoate, mancozeb, metalaxyl, methomyl, parathion, propargite and zineb. PROTECTION OF CROP, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands and pastures.

WITHHOLDING PERIOD: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED 268 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 STORAGE AND DISPOSAL For insecticide resistance management Reldan pluS IGR Grain Protector is both a Group 1B and Group 7A insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Reldan pluS IGR Grain Protector and other Group 1B and 7A insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Reldan pluS IGR Grain Protector or other Group 1B & 7A insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Reldan pluS IGR Grain Protector on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Reldan pluS IGR Grain Protector to control resistant insects.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 277 RIPPER 480 TREE and VINE CROPS RIPPER 480 GENERAL WEED CONTROL Application Checklist: DO NOT treat weeds under poor growing conditions due to moisture stress, water logging, severe frosting, insect damage etc. Reduced performance may also occur where weeds are covered with dust or silt. DO NOT add surfactants, adjuvants or other pesticides except as specifically directed on this label. Rain within 1 hour of application which causes run-off may require re-treatment. Rain fastness is reduced if weeds are not actively growing, under stress or conditions of low light intensity/darkness. The addition of a 100% non-ionic surfactant may improve rain fastness on Winter annual weeds. A withholding period for grazing is not required. However, it is recommended that grazing of treated plants be delayed to ensure herbicide uptake. Certain plants such as soursob, variegated thistle, sorghum and Johnson grass may be naturally toxic to stock when eaten in large quantities under certain conditions. Where plants are known to be toxic, grazing should be delayed until complete desiccation of treated plants has occurred. Apply treatments to weeds which have at least one true leaf (broadleaf weeds) or two leaves (grasses) to provide adequate surface area for herbicide uptake. If heavy grazing has occurred, allow regrowth to 6-8 cm before spraying and use the higher rates recommended. l e b a L n e m i c e p S SITUATION Domestic areas (Home gardens) Commercial, Industrial & Public Service areas Agricultural buildings and other farm situations Dry Drains and Channels Forests Non-Agricultural areas around Buildings, Commercial & Industrial areas,Domestic & Public Service areas, Rightsof-way.

See GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - APPLICATION section for application method details. RIPPER 480 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS PRODUCT INFORMATION Ripper 480 is a non-volatile, non selective, water soluble liquid herbicide with non-selective herbicidal activity against many annual, perennial and woody broadleaf weeds and grasses. Ripper 480 may be used prior to sowing any crop (edible or non edible) but not prior to transplanting tomato seedlings. When applying this product prior to transplanting crops into plastic mulch, care must be taken to remove residues of this product from the plastic prior to transplanting. Residues can be removed by 2 cm of natural rainfall or by applying water via a sprinkler irrigation system. Ripper 480 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. Ripper 480 is absorbed by plant foliage and green stems. It is inactivated on clay and organic matter in soil and does not provide residual weed control. Ripper 480 moves through the plant from the point of contact to and into the root system. Initial visible effects on annual weeds take 3-7 days, but may not be noticeable for 2 to 3 weeks under cool cloudy conditions or on some perennial weeds. Visible effects are a gradual yellowing and wilting of the plant which advances to complete browning of above ground growth and deterioration of underground plant parts. Unmerged parts rising from unattached underground rhizomes or rootstock of perennials will not be affected by spray and will continue to grow. For this reason best control of most perennial and woody weeds is obtained at late growth stages approaching maturity. Rainfall occurring up to 6 hours after application may reduce effectiveness. Heavy rainfall within 2 hours after application may wash the chemical off the foliage and a repeat treatment may be required. Delay treatment of plants wet with dew or rain, if water droplets run off when plants are disturbed. MIXING Ripper 480 mixes readily with water. Reduced results may occur if water containing; suspended clay or organic matter e.g. from dams, streams and irrigation channels, or if hard water containing calcium, magnesium or bicarbonate ions 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 and certainly within 5 days since a gradual loss of activity will occur. l e b a L n e m i c e p S CROP ESTABLISHMENT Ripper 480 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 day 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. 284 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 Mixing Instructions: 1. Fill the spray tank to ½ full with clean water and start and maintain agitation. 2. Where crystalline ammonium sulphate (crystalline or liquid form) is recommended, wash crystalline form at 2 % w/v (2 kg/100 L spray solution) through a top mesh screen into the tank OR add Liase® at 2 % v/v (2 L/100 L spray solution) and mix thoroughly for several minutes. 3. Add Ripper™ 480 and allow mixing thoroughly for several minutes. 4. For other tank-mix partners: add dry flowable formulations (e.g. metsulfuron) first, followed by suspension concentrates (flowables e.g. atrazine), water soluble salts (e.g. Abound™ 400) and mix thoroughly. 5. Then add emulsifiable concentrate formulations, such as Starane™ Advanced, and allow mixing thoroughly for several minutes. 6. Add remaining water to desired final fill level. 7. Add Pulse® or 100% non-ionic surfactant, if required, near the end of the filling process to minimize excessive foaming. 8. Removing hose from tank immediately after the filling will prevent back siphoning into water source. Always maintain adequate agitation during application and use the tank load promptly. TANK MIXTURES/COMPATIBILITY Ripper 480 may be tank-mixed with the following herbicides, insecticides and additives. Read and follow all label directions, for the tank mix products. Tank Mixtures - Herbicides Esteron™ LV, 2,4-D Ester 800 (2,4-D ester), Abound™ 400 (2,4-D isopropylamine), atrazine# flowable or granular (Do not apply the tank mix for control of barnyard grass or liverseed grass), chlorsulfuron, Express1®, Eclipse1®, Garlon™ 600, Goal™, Grazon™ Extra, Hammer1®, Lontrel™ Herbicide, Lontrel™ 750 SG, metsulfuron, MCPA LVE, Monza1®, Oust1®, pendimethalin, Starane™ Advanced, simazine# flowable or granular, Tordon™ 75-D, triasulfuron and trifluralin. # Ammonium sulphate may improve the performance of tank mixtures of Ripper 480 and atrazine or simazine. See directions below. Tank Mixtures - Insecticides Ripper 480 is compatible with the following insecticides: Imidan®, Le-mat®, Lorsban™ 500 EC, Sumithion® ULV, Trojan™ and emulsifiable concentrates of dimethoate and fenitrothion. Other insecticides have not been tested. Adjuvant - Crystalline Ammonium sulphate Rate: 2 kg per 100 litres spray solution. (DO NOT apply the tank mix for barnyard grass control). The addition of ammonium sulphate to Ripper 480, when used to control annual weeds, MAY improve the performance of Ripper 480 under adverse environmental conditions such as cool cloudy weather. Ammonium sulphate may also improve the performance of tank mixtures of Ripper 480 and atrazine or simazine. Use only crystalline ammonium sulphate, NOT prilled or granular forms. To test quality, dissolve 2 tablespoons in 2 litres of water. Swirl gently for 2 minutes. If undissolved particles remain, it is advisable to pre-dissolve prior to adding to spray tank through a screen. Ammonium sulphate may be corrosive to metal parts of the sprayer. Thoroughly flush tanks, pumps and nozzles with water after use. APPLICATION Ripper 480 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 Application of Ripper 480 in spray volumes of 25 to 200 litres of clean water per hectare is recommended. When using Ripper 480 at 375 mL to 1.125 L/ha, spray volumes in the range 25-100 L/ha are preferred. Fan nozzle equipment is recommended, using pressures in the range 240-280 kPa. Boom height must be set to ensure double overlap of nozzle patterns at the top of the weed canopy. l e b a L n e m i c e p S Adjuvant - Pulse® Penetrant Pulse is recommended for the control of bracken and many wood weeds. Rate: 200 mL/100 L of spray solution. Adjuvant - Wetter® TX Surfactant Add when treating annual ryegrass, silvergrass and perennial grasses in late Winter and Spring. Wetter® TX is NOT a general purpose surfactant and should be used only where recommended. Rate: 200 mL/100 L of spray solution. SURFACTANT ADDITION The addition of Turbo® Plus or a 100% non-ionic surfactant MAY improve weed control where water rates are high or product rates low. Determine from the following chart. Rate: 200 mL/100 L of water. Do not add spraying oils, agricultural chemicals or any other material except as directed on the label. Ripper 480 Herbicide 2 Hand gun Apply the recommended mix to ensure complete and uniform coverage of leaves and stems through a D6 to D8 spray tip (Spraying Systems Australia P/L), or equivalent, and an operating pressure of 400 to 700 kPa. Knapsack & 12 Volt Sprayer Packs Only recommended for the control of herbaceous weeds such as flatweed, plantains and thistles. Apply the recommended spray mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems. DO NOT use knapsacks or 12 volt sprayer packs to treat woody weeds. Low Volume High Concentrate Application Techniques Good control will be achieved, similar to high volume application, where bush size enables good coverage of entire bush. Use a marking agent, as recommended by the equipment manufacturers, to check spray coverage. Gas powered gun Apply 50 mL shots to obtain uniform coverage of 4 to 5m2 of surface area of bush. This relates to 20 droplets/cm2 of leaf surface. Sprinkler sprayer This technique involves using a micro sprinkler which is connected to a hollow fibre glass rod attached to a pneumatic knapsack sprayer. Use at low pressures (50 to 200 kPa) and apply with a slow sweeping action over the top of the plants ensuring even coverage on the leaves. Surfactant Addition Chart No Turbo Plus Needed 1.6 High Volume Application Weeds need to be actively growing for herbicides to have optimum effect. Delay treatment until all regrowth has had time to grow to approximately 1 metre in situations which have been bulldozed, slashed, burnt, ploughed or areas having a previous chemical treatment. Thorough coverage of foliage to the point of run-off is essential; however, avoid excess spraying which is wasteful of chemical. 1.2 0.8 0.4 Add Turbo Plus 0 0 20 40 60 80 100 500 Boom Output L/ha PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 285 RIPPER 480 Goal™ Herbicide The addition of Goal at 75 mL/ha to recommended rates of Ripper 480 prior to planting Winter cereals will improve knockdown and increase the speed at which treated weeds develop visible symptoms of phytotoxicity. RIPPER 480 Wiper Equipment Wiper equipment (e.g. ropewick, canvas, felt or carpet applicators) may be used to apply Ripper 480. Avoid contact with desirable vegetation. Operate wiper equipment a minimum of 10 cm above the crop or pasture. Weeds should be at least 15 cm above the crop or pasture at time of application. Speed of travel should be no greater than 8 km/h. Best results are achieved at lower speeds and where two applications are made in opposite directions (double pass). Where weeds are of variable height, or occur in dense infestations or clumps, some plants may be contacted by the herbicide solution. In these cases repeat treatment may be necessary. Mix only enough herbicide solution for immediate use. Do not store mixed solution for more than a few days. Flush out equipment with water after use. RATE: Mix 800 mL Ripper 480 with 2.2 litres clean water. Adjust flow rate to suit equipment. 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 Aerial equipment may be used to apply Ripper 480 only in pasture or fallow situations prior to establishment of field crops, fodder crops, or new pasture, and for pre-harvest application to cotton and sorghum crops. DO NOT use in intensive horticultural cropping areas. Use recommended rates of Ripper 480 specified in this label up to a maximum limit of 3 L/ha. For Micronair and boom equipment, apply in a minimum spray volume of at least 20 L/ha. Droplets with an average size (or VMD) of 250-350 micron diameter are recommended. Swath width should be 15-17 metres. Thoroughly wash aircraft, especially landing gear, after each day of spraying to remove herbicide residues. l e b a L n e m i c e p S Stem Injection Equipment To make an injection pocket at waist height, use a ¾ length axe with a blade width of 5 to 7 cm. The cut of injection must be through the bark and deep enough to place the entire chemical in contact with the sap wood. The chemical must be applied immediately after the dose pocket is made. Apply chemical with a Phillips 5 mL vaccinator fitted with a tree injector kit which can be accurately calibrated. Set vaccinator to deliver 0.75 mL of herbicide mix. When treating regrowth less than the width of the axe, ensure chemical does not run out the sides of the cut, as reduced control will result. This can be overcome by using the corner of the axe to make the pocket in the stem or treating by cut stump application. Cut Stump Application Stems should be cut less than 10 cm above the ground. Remove and treat the surface of any suckers present below the cut surface and ground level. Immediately apply Ripper 480/water mixture liberally to the freshly cut stump by spraying the cut surface and sides of the stem. If cut surface is oily, add a 100% non-ionic surfactant at 100 mL/100 L water to improve penetration. When using a brush cutter with an herbicide attachment, read all safety and operating instructions in the brush cutter manual prior to use of the equipment. Controlled Droplet Application (CDA) Results similar to high volume spraying can be obtained using Micron Herbi® or similar equipment. Select a nozzle to give a flow rate of 2 mL/sec and sweeping action of approximately 1 m/sec to ensure a droplet density of 20/cm2. Use a marking agent, as recommended by the equipment manufacturers, to check spray coverage. Also, consult directions provided with CDA unit. DO NOT add oils to Ripper 480/water mixture, otherwise difficulty in application and reduced weed control may occur. 286 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 Application on hilly terrain As spraying height may vary, to maximise target contact, increase water volume to 30-80 L/ha and increase median droplet diameter of output to at least 300 micron VMD. Air Temperature and Relative Humidity DO NOT apply Ripper 480 by aircraft when temperature is above 30°C. Avoid application when relative humidity falls below 35%. High temperatures and/or low relative humidity cause excessive evaporation of spray droplets which may reduce results. When temperature reaches 25°C, increase water volume to at least 30 L/ha, and increase droplet size to at least 300 micron VMD. Avoid Drift DO NOT apply treatments with spraying equipment or under weather conditions which are likely to cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible crops, pastures or other sensitive plants. DO NOT use with spraying equipment, which produce fine droplets (150 microns or less) or under meteorological conditions conducive to drift e.g. wind speeds over 12 km/h, inversion conditions, still air or hot dry days. CLEANING APPLICATION EQUIPMENT Spray tanks, pumps, lines and nozzles should be thoroughly cleaned with clean water following application. Ripper 480 is a member of the Glycines group of herbicides. Ripper 480 has the inhibition of EPSP synthase mode of action. For weed resistance management Ripper 480 is a Group M herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Ripper 480 and other inhibitors of Group M mode of action 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 Ripper 480 or other inhibitors of Group M herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Ripper 480 to control resistant weeds.

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. PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK 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 Ripper 480. 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.

Note: Before using Starane Advanced in tank mixes with other herbicides, check the plant-back information on all product labels. The time between spraying and planting will be determined by the most residual product, i.e. the product with the longest plant-back period. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS OILS AND SURFACTANTS MIXING Oils: Use only Uptake Spraying Oil at the rate of 500 mL/100 L of spray mix. When using less than 100 L/ha spray volume, ensure a minimum of 250 mL/ha of Uptake is used, unless 1 L/100 L or 1 L/ha is specified. Surfactants (wetters): Use a 100% concentrate non-ionic surfactant such as BS1000® at 100 mL/100 L of spray mix where required. Starane Advanced may be mixed with water or diesel. Mix only sufficient chemical for each days use and avoid storing. Mixing in Water: Half fill the spray tank with water and add the required quantity of Starane Advanced and complete filling. Agitate continuously to ensure thorough mixing before and during application. Mixing in Diesel: Half fill the spray tank with diesel and add the required quantity of Starane Advanced. Add the remainder of the diesel and agitate or shake to mix contents. Tank mixtures: Wettable powder or dry flowable formulations (e.g. water dispersible granules) should be added to the spray tank first, followed by suspension concentrates (flowables), water soluble salts and then emulsifiable concentrate formulations (Starane Advanced). Add spraying OILS and SURFACTANTS (wetters) last. (See COMPATIBILITY section for Ripper™ 480 (glyphosate) for additional instructions when mixing with glyphosate.) 316 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 Starane Advanced is compatible with the herbicides listed. Follow any regional restrictions, and all directions and restrictions on the label, of any chemical mixed with Starane™ Advanced. atrazine (see below), Broadstrike™, Dow AgroSciences LVE 600 MCPA Herbicide™ (MCPA LVE), Canvas™ 750 (MCPA amine), Conclude™, diclofop methyl, Dow AgroSciences (2,4-D) Amine 625, Eclipse®, Esteron™ LV, Garlon™ 600, glyphosate, Hotshot™, Lontrel™, MCPA, metsulfuron methyl, Ripper™ 480 (see below), Topik® 240 EC (see below), Tordon™ 75-D, Tordon™ 242, Touchdown®, Wildcat® 110 and 2,4-DB amine. AGITATION IS VERY IMPORTANT WHEN MIXING STARANE ADVANCED AND ATRAZINE. Starane Advanced plus atrazine tank mixes must be agitated vigorously and continuously during mixing and application. After mixing DO NOT allow to stand without agitation. Ensure that the time from mixing to the end of application is not more than 2 hours. If settling out occurs re-suspension is difficult, even with vigorous agitation. Agitation using only the pump’s by-pass is usually inadequate, particularly with larger tanks (more than 2000 L). Additional mechanical agitation will be necessary in large tanks, computer sprayers and mixing tanks. When additional surfactant is required, add a 100% concentrate non-ionic surfactant at 100 mL/100 L of spray mix. DO NOT use a spraying oil when tank mixing Starane Advanced and atrazine. l e b a L n e m i c e p S ® ™ Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company (“Dow”) or an affiliated company of Dow ATRAZINE AVOID USING HARD WATER WHEREVER POSSIBLE. Where hard water cannot be avoided, the addition of a water conditioning agent to the spray tank, at 100 g/100 L water, before adding any herbicide may improve compatibility.

DO NOT mix Starane Advanced with Topik 240 EC if the grass weeds are not actively growing. Always use the maximum label rate of Topik 240 EC for the appropriate grass growth stage. DO NOT use Starane Advanced at more than 450 mL/ha in tank mixes with Topik 240 EC. RIPPER 480 (glyphosate) When mixing Starane Advanced with Ripper 480 to control both grass and broadleaf weeds, refer to the Ripper 480 label for use rate recommended for grasses. DO NOT use Ripper 480 at less than 1.125 L/ha in tank mixes with Starane Advanced, when barnyard grass, buttongrass, crowsfoot grass, native millet and liverseed grass are the target species. Mixing Instructions for glyphosate + Starane Advanced + other tank-mix partners: Step 1: Fill the spray tank to 1/2 full with clean water, start and maintain agitation. Step 2: Where ammonium sulphate (crystalline or liquid form) is recommended, wash crystalline form at 0.08 % w/v (800 g/100 L spray solution) through a top mesh screen into the tank OR add Liase® at 2 % v/v (2 L/100 L spray solution) and mix thoroughly for several minutes. Step 3: Add Ripper 480 (or other glyphosate formulations) and allow mixing thoroughly for several minutes. Step 4: For other tank-mix partners: Add dry flowable formulations (e.g. metsulfuron) first, followed by suspension concentrates (flowables e.g. atrazine), water soluble salts (e.g. Abound™ 400). Step 5: Then add emulsifiable concentrate formulations, such as Starane Advanced, and allow mixing thoroughly for several minutes. Step 6: Add remaining water to desired final fill level. Step 7: Add a 100% non-ionic surfactant at 0.2% v/v near the end of the filling process to minimize excessive foaming. Step 8: Removing hose from tank immediately after the filling will prevent back siphoning into water source. Always maintain adequate agitation during application and use the tank load promptly. APPLICATION METHODS and WATER RATES BROADCAST APPLICATION IN CROPPING, PASTURE AND FALLOW SITUATIONS. A. Ground Application (Boom) Apply Starane Advanced with an accurately calibrated boom sprayer, in at least 50 L/ha water (100-400 L/ha for sugar cane). Flat fan nozzles applying a medium quality spray (ASABE-S572) are recommended. Set the boom at a height to ensure a double overlap of the nozzle patterns. B. Ground Directed Application (Dropper nozzles) To minimise crop effects, dropper nozzles should be used in sorghum when the crop is beyond the 8 leaf growth stage and in maize and sweet corn when the crop is beyond the 6 leaf growth stage. Adjust the nozzles to direct the spray into the base of the crop and away from the leaves and the growing point. See manufacturers’ directions for setting up and calibration of dropper nozzles. C. Aerial Application Apply in a minimum volume of at least 35 L/ha water (60 L/ha in sugar cane). Use equipment calibrated to produce a coarse quality spray (ASABE-S572). DO NOT apply when the temperature is above 30°C, when there is no wind or when the wind is blowing toward susceptible crops. DO NOT spray when wind speed is less than 3 km/hr or more than 20 km/hr. WOODY WEED SITUATIONS Weeds must be actively growing to attain optimal effect. Delay the treatment of re-growth following bulldozing, slashing, burning, ploughing or a previous chemical treatment until it has at least 1 metre of new, vigorous, growth. A. High Volume Application Hand Gun Apply the recommended mix to obtain full coverage of leaves and stems using a number 6 - 8 tip at 700 to 1500 kPa. To obtain good coverage, a spray volume of 1500 to 4000 L/ha (15 to 40 L/100m2) is required per infested hectare. Ensure thorough coverage to the point of runoff. Knapsack and 12 Volt Sprayer Packs Only recommended for the control of herbaceous weeds such as cobblers peg, docks and wandering jew. DO NOT use knapsacks or 12 volt sprayer packs to treat woody weeds. l e b a L n e m i c e p S 318 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto wasteland away from desirable plants and watercourses. Cleaning equipment after using water-based sprays: Rinsing: After using Starane Advanced Herbicide, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the spray unit using a pressure hose. Drain, and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. Decontamination (before spraying cotton and other sensitive crops; see PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS): Wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Then quarter fill the tank and add an alkali detergent at 500 mL/100 L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100 L and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow to drain. Cleaning equipment after using diesel-based sprays: On completion of spraying, use a degreaser to remove traces of diesel from the sprayer. Rinse tank and spray through nozzles with water to remove degreaser. Then, quarter fill the tank with clean water and add an alkali detergent at 50 mL/10 L of water or the powder equivalent at 50 g/10 L of water. Shake sprayer, to circulate the washing solution throughout the sprayer, then spray the solution through the nozzles. Rinse well with clean water to remove the detergent. To clean brushes and containers, spray liberally with degreaser. Hose off with clean water and repeat using detergents as above. DO NOT use this equipment for any other purpose. l e b a L n e m i c e p S PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 319 STARANE ADVANCED B. Aerial Application Apply in 200 L of water/ha using an aircraft to apply 100 L per pass on a double overlap pattern using nozzle configurations to produce a coarse quality spray (ASABE-S572). The potential for damage from drift can be greatly reduced by avoiding unsuitable spraying conditions and using spray pressure and nozzles to minimise the production of small droplets. DO NOT spray when wind speed is less than 3 km/hr or more than 20 km/hr and/or air temperature reaches 35°C. C. Basal Bark and Cut Stump Application Basal Bark DO NOT apply to wet stems as this can repel the diesel mixture. Spray or paint the recommended mixture around the base of each stem from ground level to a height of at least 30 cm from the ground, wetting the bark to the point of runoff. Apply with a paint brush or a pressure sprayer with an appropriate lance and solid cone nozzle. If using spray equipment use low pressures (≤ 200 kPa) sufficient to form a cone of spray. Old rough bark will require more spray than smooth or young thin bark. Cut Stump Apply the recommended mixture liberally to the freshly cut stump immediately after cutting. Apply by spraying or painting the cut surface and sides of the stump. Best results are obtained when the stems are cut less than 15 cm above the ground. D. Low Volume, High Concentrate Application Drench Gun or Gas-Powered Gun Apply the recommended mixture uniformly across the foliage by applying 50 mL shots to cover 4 to 5 m2 of surface area of plant. This is approximately equivalent to 20 droplets per cm2 of the leaf surface. Use a marking agent as recommended by the equipment manufacturer to check spray coverage. STARANE ADVANCED RESISTANT WEED WARNING Starane Advanced Herbicide is a member of the pyridine group of herbicides. The product has a disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management the product is a Group I Herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I 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 Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product 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 local Dow AgroSciences representative. PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK DO NOT graze or cut treated crops for stock food except as specified under withholding periods. Poisonous plants may become more palatable after spraying, therefore livestock should be kept out of the area until the plants have died down. DO NOT allow stock to re-enter paddocks containing treated poisonous plants, until the plants have died down. PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT l e b a L n e m i c e p S PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS Susceptible crops include but are not limited to clovers, cotton, fruit, hops, lupins, ornamentals, peas, pine tree, potatoes, navy beans, safflower, shade trees, soybeans, sunflower, tobacco, tomatoes, vegetables, and vines. Starane Advanced can be damaging to susceptible crops during both growing and dormant periods. Grasses are normally unaffected by Starane Advanced and establish quickly after treatment. Transitory damage can occur on some species particularly those that spread by stolons such as couch grass (Cynodon dactylon), Kikuyu grass and carpet grass (Axonopus spp.).

MIXING As formulations of other companies products are beyond the control of Dow AgroSciences, all mixtures should be tested on a small scale before mixing in the spray tank. Ensure the spray tank has been cleaned or decontaminated. Flush chemical suction equipment with fresh water between products, and between fills, when adding to the spray solution. 1. Fill the spray tank with clean water to ½ the required volume and start agitation. DO NOT use mechanical agitators as these may cause excessive foaming when herbicides are added. 2. Add wettable powders and water dispersible granules first. Agitate until these are uniformly dispersed. Fill the spray tank to 90% of the required volume. Compatibility with glyphosate formulations Compatible products are those containing: a) glyphosate IPA are compatible e.g. Ripper™ 480; or b) glyphosate potassium and mono-ammonium salts e.g. Roundup® DST Herbicide; or c) Glyphosate mono-ammonium salt e.g. Macphersons Glyphosate Bi-dri® Herbicide Non compatible products are those containing glyphosate K salt e.g. Roundup® PowerMax® Herbicide, Roundup® Attack Herbicide or Touchdown® Herbicide Insecticides Trojan DO NOT mix with 500 g/L EC formulations of chlorpyrifos, e.g. Lorsban™ 500 EC Fungicides Propimax™ 3.

Statesman 720 Herbicide has the disruptors of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management Statesman 720 Herbicide is a Group I herbicide. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 341 STATESMAN 720 APPLICATION INFORMATION (see also PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS) Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Statesman 720 Herbicide and other Group I 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 Statesman 720 Herbicide or other Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Statesman 720 Herbicide to control resistant weeds. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Wear a face shield or goggles, overalls buttoned to neck and wrist, chemical resistant gloves and footwear. Stop leak when safe to do so. Dam area and prevent entry into waterways, and drains. Small spills/leaks: Absorb with material such as sand, soil or sawdust. Collect spilled product and place in sealable container for disposal. Spill residues may be cleaned using water and detergent. Contain and absorb wash water for disposal. Absorb and collect washings and place in the same sealable container for disposal. Dam the area of large spills and report them to Dow AgroSciences Emergency Services at 1-800 033 882. l e b a L n e m i c e p S PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS STATESMAN 720 SPILL AND LEAK MANAGEMENT DO NOT spray in high winds. DO NOT spray cereals if lucerne is present. DO NOT spray crops or weeds outside the stages indicated in CRITICAL COMMENTS as damage, loss of yield or inadequate weed control may result. Drift Warning: 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. Avoid spray drift onto susceptible crops such as cotton, tobacco, tomatoes, vines, fruit trees, vegetables, legume crops and pastures, oilseed crops and susceptible trees (e.g. Kurrajongs, Belahs and Eucalypts). DO NOT use unless wind speed is more than 3 kilometres per hour and less than 15 kilometres per hour, as measured at the application site. DO NOT apply with smaller than coarse to very coarse spray droplets according to the ASABE S572 definition for standard nozzles. PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK Low hazard to bees.

Canola: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 14 DAYS AFTER THE LAST APPLICATION. Crops for Export: Some crops for export to particular destinations outside of Australia may require a longer interval before harvest to comply with the residue standards of importing countries. Please check with your exporter. l e b a L n e m i c e p S GRAZING AND STOCKFOOD WITHHOLDING PERIOD (WHP) Brassica and Leafy Vegetables: DO NOT USE ON BRASSICA VEGETABLES GROWN FOR FORAGE OR FODDER. DO NOT GRAZE TREATED BRASSICA or LEAFY VEGETABLE CROPS. Legume Vegetables: DO NOT ALLOW LIVESTOCK TO GRAZE CROPS FOR AT LEAST 14 DAYS AFTER THE LAST APPLICATION. DO NOT GRAZE ANY TREATED ORCHARD OR CUT THE ORCHARD FLOOR FOR STOCKFOOD. DO NOT GRAZE ANY TREATED FOREST OR CUT THE FOREST FLOOR FOR STOCKFOOD. Canola: DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT FOR STOCKFOOD FOR 7 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION. Forage Brassicas: DO NOT ALLOW LIVESTOCK TO GRAZE CROPS FOR 7 DAYS AFTER THE LAST APPLICATION. The grazing withholding periods above apply specifically to stock slaughtered for the domestic market. Export markets may apply different standards. To ensure compliance with residue standards in export markets, comply with the above grazing withholding periods and ensure that the Export Slaughter Interval (ESI) is observed before stock are sold or slaughtered. Export Slaughter Interval: Legume vegetables (including Beans, Peas, Snow peas and Sugar snap peas): 14 days. Canola and Forage Brassicas crops: 28 days. This means that livestock that have grazed on or were fed treated crops or byproducts should be placed on clean feed for at least the periods stated above prior to slaughter. 350 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 APPLICATION Insecticide Resistance Warning Thorough coverage of the crop is essential. Ensure this by increasing water volume with plant growth stage. Do not apply when conditions are unsuitable for waterbased spray applications. Avoid high temperature, strong winds, inversion conditions, imminent rain or any conditions that may reduce the quality of spray coverage or result in drift from the target area. Techniques to minimise drift should be employed at all times when aerially applying sprays to, or near, sensitive areas. For insecticide resistance management, Success Neo Insecticide is a Group 5 insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Success Neo Insecticide and other Group 5 insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Success Neo Insecticide and other Group 5 insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Success Neo Insecticide on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Success Neo Insecticide to control resistant insects. l e b a L n e m i c e p S Success Neo Insecticide may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Dow AgroSciences representative or local agricultural department agronomist. MIXING Agitate or shake the container immediately prior to use. Half fill the spray tank with water, add the appropriate amount of accurately measured Success Neo Insecticide, then complete filling the tank. Ensure thorough agitation by mechanical or hydraulic action at all times during mixing and application. Use only clean water within the range pH 5-9 to dilute Success Neo Insecticide. STORAGE OF DILUTED SPRAY MIX Whenever possible the spray mix should be used immediately after it is prepared. However, if weather conditions or mechanical breakdown prevent immediate use, the spray mix may be stored for up to 72 hours without loss of activity. The spray mix should be agitated thoroughly by mechanical or hydraulic action at regular intervals during storage to prevent sedimentation. Ensure that the stored spray mix is thoroughly agitated at least once every 8 hours. The spray mix must be stored out of direct sunlight. For optimum results follow the application specifications listed below: Ground Spraying: Apply in a minimum of 250 L/ha of water. Increase spray volumes as the crop grows. Ground Spraying Forage Brassicas and Canola ONLY: Apply in a minimum of 50L/ha of water. Aerial Spraying: Success Neo must only be applied by aircraft fitted with accurately calibrated equipment. Apply a minimum total spray volume of 30 L/ha with nozzles (e.g. Micronnaire rotary atomisers, CP nozzles or conventional hydraulic nozzles) set to medium spray quality according to ASAE S572 definition for standard nozzles. A spray drift minimisation strategy should be employed at all times when applying this product. DO NOT apply Success™ Neo using Ultra Low Volume (ULV) methods. PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENT (Aerial Application) DO NOT use human flaggers/markers unless they are protected by engineering controls such as enclosed cabs. DILUTE SPRAYING Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and match to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of first run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of runoff. If volume to be applied is < 1000L/ha then use the low volume (concentrate) application method for calculation of chemical rate. For volumes > 1000 L/ha use dilute spray rate. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 351 SUCCESS NEO GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS SUCCESS NEO CONCENTRATE SPRAYING CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. After using Success Neo Insecticide empty the tank and completely drain the system. Rinse the tank, pumps, lines, hoses, filters and nozzles by circulating clean water through the system. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. RE-ENTRY Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see DILUTE SPRAYING above) for the crop canopy. Consult your local advisor, agronomist or Department of Agriculture to determine this volume. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until the spray 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. The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way: PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK l e b a L n e m i c e p S Concentrate Spraying Example 1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: e.g. 1000 L/ha 2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: e.g. 500 L/ha 3. The concentration factor is 2 X (1000 / 500) 4. If the dilute label rate is 40 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 2 X 40, i.e. 80 mL/100 L of concentrate spray The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training. Always follow Industry Best Practices. COMPATIBILITY Success Neo is compatible with most herbicides, fungicides and insecticides. Always conduct a bucket test to confirm physical compatibility. Always follow the instructions on both products and, if in any doubt, consult Dow AgroSciences, your agronomist or consultant or the maker of the other product. RAINFASTNESS Rain can wash Success Neo Insecticide from treated plant surfaces and result in reduced efficacy. Avoid making spray applications if rain is expected before the spray can dry completely. 352 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 This product is highly toxic to bees; will kill bees foraging in the crop to be treated or in hives which are over-sprayed or reached by spray drift. Residues may remain toxic to bees for several days after application. PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Very Toxic to aquatic life. DO NOT allow the product or used containers to enter dams, ponds, waterways or drains. DO NOT allow irrigation water from treated paddocks to enter adjacent pastures, crops or water supplies. DO NOT apply in strong winds, inversion conditions or any other conditions that may result in drift onto adjacent pastures, crops or water supplies.

WITHHOLDING PERIODS Apples and Pears: DO NOT APPLY LATER THAN 21 DAYS BEFORE HARVEST. Strawberries: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 355 SYSTHANE 400 WP RATE GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS SYSTHANE 400 WP FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING For fungicide resistance management Dow AgroSciences SYSTHANE™ 400 WP Fungicide is a Group 3 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to the product and other Group 3 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungi population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by Dow AgroSciences SYSTHANE™ 400 WP Fungicide and other Group 3 Fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Dow AgroSciences SYSTHANE™ 400 WP Fungicide to control resistant fungi. CONCENTRATE SPRAYING - Apples and Pears Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see DILUTE SPRAYING above) for the crop canopy. Consult your local advisor, agronomist or Department of Agriculture to determine this volume. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way: Concentrate Spraying Example 1) Dilute spray volume as determined above: e.g. 1500 L/ha 2) Your chosen concentrate spray volume: e.g. 500 L/ha 3) The concentration factor is 3X (1500 ÷ 500L) 4) If the dilute label rate is 12 g/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 12, i.e. 36 g/100 L of concentrate spray. The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practices. l e b a L n e m i c e p S MIXING/APPLICATION Mixing: Add the required number of water soluble sachets direct to the vat when about one third full with agitators in motion. Add other products after Dow AgroSciences Systhane has dispersed. If premixing, use at least 2 litres of water for each sachet. Do not mix with water with high free chlorine content, or with borax, as it may affect solubility of sachets. Application: Dow AgroSciences Systhane 400 WP Fungicide may be applied with hand wands or conventional orchard sprayers. APPLICATION DILUTE SPRAYING - Apples and Pears Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and match to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of first run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of runoff. The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to be changed as the crop grows. 356 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING Ensure spray equipment is well maintained and calibrated before using. Check the pump, nozzles and hose lines for leaks or wear. After use flush lines thoroughly with clean water. COMPATIBILITY Systhane 400 WP Fungicide may be mixed with most commonly used insecticides and fungicides.

Tordon™ 242 Cereal Herbicide contains members of the pyridine and phenoxy groups of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group I Herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other disrupters of plant cell growth 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 disrupters of plant cell growth herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product 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 local Dow AgroSciences representative. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 361 TORDON 242 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TORDON 242 PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVES AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible crops and plants, cropping lands or pastures. Crops and plants susceptible to Tordon™ 242 include, but are not limited to clovers, medics, lupins, peas and other legumes, cotton, flowers, hops, grape and kiwi fruit vines, ornamentals, potatoes, safflower, shade trees, sugar beet, tobacco, tomatoes, tree fruits, and vegetables. DO NOT use on land to be cultivated for growing susceptible crops within 12 months of applying Tordon™ 242. Susceptible crops and plants can be damaged by soil residues during both growing and dormant periods. In the season following application of this product the regeneration or establishment of sensitive legumes (clover, medics, peas, lupins) may be adversely affected by soil residues. Cereal crops and grasses can be sown safely after using Tordon™ 242. This product will kill legumes (clovers, medics) present in the crop at the time of spraying. DO NOT apply close to or on areas containing roots of desirable vegetation, where treated soil may be washed to areas growing, or to be planted to desirable plants, or on sites where surface water from heavy rain can be expected to run off to areas containing or to be planted to susceptible crops or plants. DO NOT move soil which may have been sprayed to areas where desirable plants are to be grown. Cereal crops may be reduced in height following use of this product. This height reduction is a normal response and does not represent any yield loss. DO NOT apply Tordon™ 242 to crops or pastures, which are to be used for the production of compost or mulches for use with susceptible crops or plants. The use of straw, hay or other plant material treated with Tordon™ 242 for composting or mulching susceptible crops may damage these crops.

NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION. WITHHOLDING PERIOD DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT CROPS (EXCEPT SUGAR CANE) OR PASTURES FOR STOCK FOOD FOR 7 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION. Sugar Cane: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 8 WEEKS AFTER APPLICATION. DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT FOR STOCK FOOD FOR 8 WEEKS AFTER APPLICATION. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Mixing: Mix only with water. It will not mix with oil or diesel fuel. Mechanical or by-pass agitation in the spray tank is recommended, and it should be maintained during spraying. Quarter fill the spray tank and add the required amount of herbicide in the following order: Wettable powder or water dispersible granules; suspension concentrates (atrazine flowable); aqueous concentrates (e.g. Tordon™ 75-D, 2,4-D amine); emulsifiable concentrates and finally surfactant or crop oil. Adjuvants: DO NOT add surfactants (such as BS-1000) or crop oils (such as Uptake Spraying Oil) unless specifically recommended to do so in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE Tables, 1 and 2. APPLICATION Tordon 75-D may be applied by: Ground boom. Spray using accurately calibrated equipment delivering 50 - 100 L water/ha. DO NOT use less than 200 L/ha in sugar cane. When treating maize and sorghum, the risk of crop injury will be reduced if dropper nozzles are used to avoid spraying the growing point of the crop. Misting machines and boomjet sprayers should not be used for treating crops. 372 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 Aircraft. Use accurately calibrated equipment to deliver not less than 20 L water/ha. DO NOT use less than 50 L/ha in sugar cane. High volume. Apply using a calibrated handgun with D5 or D6 (2 - 3 mm) nozzle plate and operated at 400 - 500 kPa. Spray to thoroughly wet the weed, usually 2,500-3,500 L water/infested ha is required. Stem injection. Treat only trees with good sap flow. Make injection cuts at 13 cm spacing around the diameter of the tree at waist height or at 15 cm spacing at ground level. The cuts should be made using a 5 to 7 cm wide narrow bladed axe. The cut must be made through the bark and deep enough to place all the chemical in contact with the sap wood. Treat each stem of a multistem tree where possible. Inject the chemical mix into each cut immediately after the cut is made. Apply the mix with a vaccinator or similar equipment which can be accurately calibrated or a tree injector which can apply the measured dose at or near ground level. Injection at or near ground level is essential in the Traprock area of south-eastern Queensland and is preferred for optimum results in Bimble box (poplar box) areas. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I 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 I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product 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 local Dow AgroSciences representative. l e b a L n e m i c e p S COMPATIBILITY Tordon 75-D is compatible with: atrazine (600 g/L flowable or an equivalent granular product) Dow AgroSciences (2, 4-D) Amine 625 diquat metsulfuron-methyl Topik® glyphosate 450 Ripper™ 480 glyphosate PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS After using Tordon 75-D, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose, drain the tank and clean any tank, pump, line and nozzle filters. To Rinse: After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pumps, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. To Decontaminate: Before spraying sensitive crops (see PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS section) wash the tank and rinse the system, as above. Quarter fill the tank and add an alkali detergent at 500 mL/100L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100 L of water) and circulate throughout the system for at least fifteen minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Drain the whole system. Then remove filters, nozzles and clean them separately. Finally, flush the system with clean water and allow to drain. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or if this is unavailable, onto unused (and away from plants and water courses). Crops susceptible to Tordon 75-D include but are not limited to; peas, lupins, lucerne, navy beans, soybeans, and other legumes; cotton, fruit, hops, ornamentals, potatoes, safflower sugarbeet, sunflower, tobacco, tomatoes, vegetables and vines. DO NOT plant susceptible crops within 12 months of applying winter or summer cereal Use Rates of this product. Cereal crops and grasses can be sown safely after using Tordon 75-D. Rates in excess of these will result in more persistent soil residues. Therefore, do not rotate susceptible plants until an adequately sensitive bioassay or chemical test shows that no detectable picloram is present within soil. Drift Warning DO NOT allow spray to drift onto susceptible crops. 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. Avoid spray drift onto susceptible crops such as cotton, tobacco, tomatoes, vines, lupins, fruit trees and ornamentals. DO NOT use unless wind speed is more than 3 kilometres per hour and less than 15 kilometres per hour, as measured at the application site. DO NOT apply with smaller than coarse to very coarse spray droplets according to the ASABE S572 definition for standard nozzles. Equipment that has been used for application of Tordon 75-D should not be used for application of other materials to susceptible plants until it has been decontaminated. RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT Tordon 75-D Herbicide contains members of the pyridine and phenoxy groups of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group I Herbicide. DO NOT graze or cut treated crops or plants for stock food except as specified under withholding periods. Poisonous plants may become more palatable after spraying and stock should be kept away from these plants until they have died down. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 373 TORDON 75-D Cut stump. Cut the trees as close to the ground as practicable, leaving stumps no higher then 10 cm. Spray, swab or brush the chemical mix immediately to the freshly cut surface so as to thoroughly wet the surface. If the cut surface is oily, add a non-ionic wetting agent to assist penetration. Frilling. Make successive overlapping cuts into the sapwood around the entire circumference of the base of the tree. Spray to thoroughly wet the frilled area. Injecting spray into centre of weed. Inject using a vaccinator or similar equipment, 1 mL of treatment mix into the growing point for each 2.5 cm of the plant stem diameter. (See Zamia palm).

Qld only 2.5 L ™ Gorse Harrisia cactus Treat all stems thoroughly. NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION. FOR NATIVE VEGETATION Use of Tordon DSH on native vegetation must be done in accordance with STATE and/or LOCAL legislation. WITHHOLDING PERIOD NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 377 TORDON DS GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS COMPATIBILITY Tordon DSH is compatible with the following adjuvants: Hasten® @ 500 mL/100 L water Supercharge® @ 500 mL/100 L water Uptake™ Spraying Oil @ 500 mL/100 L water. MIXING Mix only with water. It will not mix with oil or diesel fuel. Only mix sufficient solution for immediate daily use and avoid storing. When using the Tree Injector, make sure that the pump handle is held in whilst striking the tree, otherwise unnecessary strain will be placed on the pump and valve, and chemical will be ejected onto the bark. Use injector with groove in blade uppermost. Strike tree, cutting through bark to sapwood. Lower the upper end of the injector to open the cut, then move pump handle out and in to inject the dose. A smooth action will give better results than a quick “snapping” action. The chemical must be applied immediately after the dose pocket is made. B. Cut Stump/Brushcutter Application Stems should be cut less than 10 cm above the ground. Remove and treat the surface of any suckers present below the cut surface and ground level. Immediately apply Tordon DSH/water mixture liberally to the freshly cut stump by spraying the cut surface and sides of the stem. If cut surface is oily, add a 100% non-ionic surfactant (e.g. BS-1000) at 100 mL/100 L water to improve penetration. When using a brushcutter with a herbicide attachment, read all safety and operating instructions in the brushcutter manual prior to use of the equipment. l e b a L n e m i c e p S A. Stem Injection Application Mix one part Tordon DSH with 4 parts clean water. Agitate well before commencing work. After use, clean equipment thoroughly and rinse several times with water. B. High Volume Application Half fill the spray unit with water, and add the required amount of Tordon DSH. Add the remaining water with the agitator running. If required, then add spray oils or wetters (surfactants). Maintain mechanical or by-pass agitation in the spray tank during spraying. APPLICATION A. Stem Injection Application Waist Height Application To make an injection pocket at waist height, use a 3/4 length axe with a blade width of 5 to 7 cm. The cut of injection must be through the bark and deep enough to place all the chemical in contact with the sap wood. The chemical must be applied immediately after the dose pocket is made. Apply chemical with a Phillips 5 mL vaccinator fitted with a tree injector kit which can be accurately calibrated. Set vaccinator to deliver 1 mL of herbicide mix. When treating regrowth less than the width of the axe, ensure chemical does not run out the sides of the cut, as reduced control will result. This can be overcome by using the corner of the axe to make the pocket in the stem or treating by cut stump application. Ground Level Application To make an injection pocket at ground level, use a narrow blade axe, as described for waist height application, or a C.M.B. Engineering Tree Injector designed for this application method. 378 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 C. High Volume Spraying Weeds need to be actively growing for herbicides to have optimum effect. In areas that have been bulldozed, slashed, burnt, ploughed or previously treated with chemical, wait until all regrowth has reached approximately 1 metre before treating. Thorough coverage of foliage to the point of run-off is essential, however, avoid excess spraying which is wasteful of chemical. Hand Gun (blackberry and gorse) Apply the recommended mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems through a No. 6 to 8 tip at 700 to 1500 kPa. A spray volume of 3000 to 4000 L per infested hectare of 1 to 2 metre high gorse and blackberry (30 to 40 L/100 m2) should be used. Knapsack (harrisia cactus) Apply the recommended spray mix to give a full coverage of all stems from the crown. Treatment should start from the end of each stem to the centre of the plant, with a final dose to the plant crown. Complete coverage of every stem is required for adequate control. Rinsing After using Tordon DSH, empty the spray equipment completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the unit using a pressure hose, if necessary. Drain the spray unit, and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. After cleaning the spray unit as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice. Decontamination Before spraying cotton and other sensitive crops with equipment that has been used to apply Tordon DSH, see PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS section. Wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Then quarter fill the tank and add an alkali detergent at 500 mL/100 L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100 L of water) and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Drain the whole system. Then remove filters, nozzles and clean them separately. Finally, flush the system with clean water and allow to drain. Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean the separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow to drain. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product 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 local Dow AgroSciences representative. PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVES AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS Crops susceptible to Tordon DSH include, but are not limited to: peas, lupins, lucerne, navy beans, peanuts, soybeans and other legumes; cotton, flowers, fruit, hops, ornamentals, shade trees and Pinus spp., potatoes, safflower, sugarbeet, sunflower, tobacco, tomatoes, vegetables and vines. Tordon DSH is damaging to susceptible crops during both growing and dormant periods. Grasses are normally unaffected and establish quickly after treatment. Picloram, one of the active constituents in this product can remain active in the soil for extended periods depending on soil type and application rate, rainfall, temperature, humidity, soil moisture and soil organic matter. DO NOT allow physical spray drift onto waterways, native vegetation and susceptible crops. DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spray equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands, pastures, waterways or native vegetation. DO NOT apply close to, or on areas, containing roots of desirable vegetation, where treated soil may be washed onto areas growing (or areas to be planted with) desirable plants. DO NOT apply on sites where surface water from heavy rain can be expected to run off to areas containing, or to be planted with susceptible crops or plants. DO NOT move soil which may have been treated to areas where desirable plants are to be grown. l e b a L n e m i c e p S 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. RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING Tordon DSH is a member of the pyridines group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management the product is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I 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 I herbicides. PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK With high volume spraying, poisonous plants may become more palatable after spraying and stock should be kept away from these plants until they have died down.

Bromoxynil-MCPA refers to any product composed of 200 g/L bromoxynil present as the n-octanoyl ester + 200 g/L MCPA present as the ethyl hexyl ester NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION. HARVEST WITHHOLDING PERIOD: Barley, Oats, Triticale and Wheat: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED. When using Torpedo in a tank mix with another product, observe the Harvest Withholding Period of the other product. STOCKFOOD WITHHOLDING PERIOD: DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT TREATED CROPS FOR STOCK FEED FOR 7 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION of Torpedo. When using Torpedo in a tank mix with another product, observe whichever Stockfood Withholding Period is the longer. CROP SAFETY Barley and oats – Under certain conditions which result in crop stress, Torpedo or tank mixes may result in transient crop effects (height reduction and yellowing). Grain yield is normally unaffected. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS MIXING Torpedo is a suspension concentrate which may show some separation on storage. Roll, shake or invert the container several times to ensure that Torpedo has completely resuspended before measuring to mix. Torpedo should be added to the spray tank with simultaneous agitation. If agitation is limited, premix the Torpedo in a bucket before adding to the main tank. Once diluted correctly, Torpedo remains in suspension. If tank mixing with other products, the following order should be followed: 1. 2. 3. 4. Quarter fill the spray tank, maintaining agitation, then: Add Torpedo (as described above). Add water to half fill the spray tank. Add wettable powders, water dispersible granules or other suspension concentrates. 5. Add emulsifiable concentrates. 6. Add Uptake Spraying Oil when spray tank is half full. 7. Add water to increase to the final spray volume. COMPATIBILITY Torpedo has not been tested in all tank mix combinations over all cereal varieties. All mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities. Broadleaf Herbicides Torpedo is biologically compatible for broadleaf weed control with Ester 800, Esteron™ LV, Amine 625 Herbicide, bromoxynil, bromoxynil-MCPA, MCPA amine, MCPA LVE, metsulfuron, Lontrel™ 750 SG, Lontrel™ Herbicide, Starane™ Advanced or Tordon™ 242. Tank mixes must be applied at the appropriate labelled cereal growth stage for the partner herbicide and rate. For best control of wild radish, Indian hedge mustard or turnip weed, always tank mix Torpedo with MCPA. Grass Herbicides For wild oat control, Axial® Herbicide, Wildcat® 110 EC and Topik® 240 EC are biologically compatible with Torpedo. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 387 Some reduction in wild oat control may occur with Topik 240 EC or Wildcat® 110 EC tank mixes under good growing conditions. The grass herbicide must be applied under excellent growing conditions and at the highest label rate or wild oat growth stage, size and density. Torpedo + MCPA LVE at up to 500 mL/ha may be tank mixed with Axial with some reduction in wild oat control under good growing conditions. Adjuvants For broadleaf weeds always use Uptake Spraying Oil at 500 mL/100 L, except when using metsulfuron in a tank mix. Use BS1000 at 100 mL/100 L with metsulfuron tank mixes. For wild oat control with Axial and Torpedo mixes, always use either Uptake Spraying Oil or Adigor® at 500 mL/100 L. For wild oat control with Topik 240 EC and Torpedo tank mixes, use Uptake Spraying Oil at 500 mL/100 L. For wild oat control with Wildcat 110 EC and Torpedo tank mixes, use BS1000 at 250 mL/100 L. Torpedo contains members of the pyridine and triazolopyrimidine sulfonanilide group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth and acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor modes of action. For weed resistance management, the product is a Group I + Group B herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I and/or B 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 I or Group B herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of the product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant or local Department of Agriculture. Torpedo is a broadleaf herbicide with no grass weed activity and exerts no selection pressure on annual ryegrass. l e b a L n e m i c e p S APPLICATION TORPEDO RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING Boom Spraying: Apply Torpedo in sufficient spray volume to obtain good coverage. It should be applied by an accurately calibrated ground rig using a water volume of 50–100 L/ha. Sprayers should aim to apply medium to coarse quality spray in accordance with ASABE standard S-572. Where coarse quality spray is to be applied, aim to apply a total spray volume of at least 80 L/ha. CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT: After using Torpedo, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank using a pressure hose, drain the tank and clean any tank, pump, line and nozzle filters. Partial Cleaning (Rinse only – before using rig to spray barley, oats, triticale and wheat): After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, line, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat procedure twice. Complete Cleaning (Decontamination – before using rig to spray crops that are susceptible to Torpedo): After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and add a liquid alkali detergent (e.g. Surf®, Omo®, Drive®) at 500 mL/100 L water and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes. Drain the whole system. Then remove filters and nozzles and clean separately. Finally rinse inside the tank thoroughly using a pressure hose and flush system with clean water and allow to drain. Note: If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto unused land away from desirable plants and their roots and watercourses. 388 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 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 Compost, mulch or mushroom substrate made from plant material treated with Torpedo may cause damage to susceptible crops or plants. DO NOT apply Torpedo to crops or pastures that will be used for the production of compost, mulches or mushroom substrate. 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) or bale and remove, slash or incorporate stubble as soon as practical after harvest and for 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 the recommended amount of rain has fallen from application to planting the susceptible crop (see below), only plant a winter or summer cereal. Susceptible crops and plants include, but are not limited to, canola, chickpeas, cotton, faba beans, field peas, fruit trees, lentils, lupins, lucerne, medics, ornamentals, potatoes, safflower, subclover, tomatoes, vegetables, vetches, vines (grape and kiwi fruit), wattles and white clover. Field peas, faba beans, lentils and vetches are particularly susceptible. Where Torpedo residue carryover 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 date and take note of any symptoms of injury. If any herbicide symptoms are observed, only plant a cereal crop (see recommendations for northern and southern Australia below). 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 test 4 to 6 weeks before desired planting date. If any herbicide symptoms are observed, only plant a cereal crop (see recommendations for northern and southern Australia below). Planting Crops Following Use of Torpedo in Previous Cereal Crop Planting crops ‘dry’ without appropriate rain (see below) in the fallow prior to planting increases the risk of injury to susceptible crops. This practice should be avoided or only plant a cereal crop. In severely dry conditions, where less than 30% of average annual rainfall and/or less than the minimum rain has fallen between application and planting the next year (see below), only plant a cereal crop. Soil type On deep soils (with no impermeable sub-horizon), susceptible crops may be planted as shown in the table below after Torpedo application. On shallow, duplex, low organic matter soils with an impermeable sub-horizon within the root zone (30 cm deep or less), susceptible crops should not be planted for at least 9 months after application in northern Australia and 12 months after application in southern Australia. l e b a L n e m i c e p S Plantback Periods for Deep Soils Minimum Rain/Water requirements before sowing crops following use of Torpedo Crops to be planted Sth NSW, Vic, SA, WA, Tas (Winter dominant rainfall areas) At least 25 mm of rain or irrigation in the summer to autumn period, with a subsequent extended period of soil wetting (at least 1 week) Canola, clover, chickpea, faba bean, field pea, lentils, lucerne, lupins, medics, vetch 9 months Barley, oats, triticale, wheat, 2 weeks For susceptible summer crops; at least 100 mm rain or irrigation. For susceptible winter crops; at least 150 mm rain or irrigation. This rain or irrigation should wet the soil for an extended period of 1 week or more. Canola, chickpea, cotton, lucerne, soybean, sunflower 6 months Barley, maize, oats, sorghum, triticale, wheat 2 weeks Nth NSW and Qld (Summer dominant rainfall areas) (Vertosol soils) Plantback Interval TORPEDO Area/State For all situations, sufficient rainfall to enable soil wetting for at least 1 week or more is essential to enable residue breakdown before planting susceptible crops. PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Torpedo has low toxicity to fish, birds, honey bees, livestock, earthworms and aquatic organisms. Overspray or drift to sensitive habitats should be avoided. For ground application, a buffer zone of 15 metres is required between the downwind edge of the boom and the closest edge of non-target vegetation and a buffer zone of 5 metres is required between the downwind edge of the boom and the closest edge of waterbodies. Florasulam is very highly toxic to algae and aquatic plants. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with chemical or used containers. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Store in the tightly closed original container in a securely locked place, out of direct sunlight. DO NOT store near food, feedstuffs, fertilisers or seed. This container can be recycled if it is clean, dry, free of visible residues and has the drumMUSTER logo visible. Triple or pressure rinse container for disposal.

Do not attempt this method of incorporation on poorly prepared, clumpy or cloddy soils. 13. Incorporation by sowing (IBS) with knife or blade points. Use press wheels to avoid dragging treated soil back into the seed furrow. Maintain slow to moderate speed to ensure that soil throw is not into adjacent furrows. PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 397 TREFLAN SITUATION & CROPS TREFLAN INCORPORATION TABLE 13. (continued) Note: (a) Knife or blade point systems can result in poor weed control in the seed furrow as chemical displacement from this zone occurs. Stubble coverage above 40% - 50% ground cover can reduce weed control below acceptable levels. (b) A knife or blade point of 12 mm or less, has no wings, inverted T or blade, and is generally placed on a minimum (20 cm) 8 inch tyne spacing. MIXING This product is an emulsifiable concentrate which mixes readily with water. Add the recommended amount to the spray tank during filling operation and apply 70 - 450 L of water per hectare (broadcast basis) dependent on soil type. Under hot conditions or where possible, spray and incorporate into the soil in one operation. Delay may cause inferior weed control. Use properly calibrated standard low pressure (170 - 340 kilopascal) boom type sprayer with fan tips. Ensure adequate agitation is continued throughout the operation. Leaving the prepared spray mixture for long periods of time without agitation is not recommended. COMPATABILITY This product may be mixed in the spray tank with: Herbicides: Broadstrike™, Spinnaker®, chlorsulfuron, cyanazine, diuron, metribuzin, paraquat, simazine, triasulfuron and triallate. Insecticides: Lorsban™ 500 EC, endosulfan. NOTE: 1. As formulations of other manufacturers’ products are beyond the control of Dow AgroSciences all mixtures should be tested on a small scale before mixing in the spray tank. 2. Tank mixing instructions: Fill the spray tank 1/4 full of water and agitate. Add wettable powders and water dispersible granules first. Agitate until these are uniformly dispersed, meanwhile adding water until the tank is 90% full. Add suspension concentrates (flowables) then soluble concentrates. Emulsifiable concentrates go in last. Top off the tank with water and continue agitation until all the ingredients are properly mixed. Observe any mixing sequence instructions mentioned on the tank mix products. l e b a L n e m i c e p S CONDITIONS FOR BEST RESULTS This product must be thoroughly incorporated as recommended. Soil should be well worked and free of weeds at time of application. Product effectiveness may be reduced by inadequate incorporation, high organic matter, excess clods, crop or trash residues, stones or other foreign matter and in areas of unnaturally high weed seed population such as header tracks or livestock rest areas. Treflan Herbicide is volatile and disappears from exposed surfaces. Loss is hastened by high temperatures, winds or warm moist soil. INTEGRATED WEED MANAGEMENT The use of Integrated Weed Management (IWM) techniques in conjunction with Treflan Herbicide is always recommended. Agronomic practices that reduce the weed seed bank in the soil prior to the use of Treflan Herbicide will result in higher weed control levels from Treflan Herbicide. Failure to use Agronomic and IWM practices that reduce the weed seed bank in the soil will result in higher weed seed populations. Paddocks with excessively high weed seed banks may have sufficient weed numbers surviving such that final weed control may be considered below a commercially acceptable level and additional herbicide treatments may be necessary. The use of IWM techniques will also reduce the potential for the development or survival of Group D herbicide resistance weed biotypes. WILD OATS Germinating wild oat seeds lying on soil surface will be controlled. Therefore, specific oat control is only possible with shallow cultivation. Poor control will occur on selfmulching soils and all soil types where deep cultivation is practised. 398 PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND USAGE Keep the spray unit for herbicides only if possible. Otherwise, spray tanks, pumps, lines and nozzles should be thoroughly rinsed several times with clean water following application. Spraymate® Tank & Equipment Cleaner is suitable for this purpose and will also remove Treflan Herbicide stains. RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING Treflan Herbicide is a member of the dinitronilines group of herbicides. Treflan Herbicide has the inhibitors of tubulin formation mode of action. For weed resistance management, Treflan Herbicide is a Group D herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to Treflan Herbicide and other Group D 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 Treflan Herbicide or other Group D herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Treflan Herbicide 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 local Dow AgroSciences representative.

PRODUCT GUIDE 2013 405 CUTTING CROPS AND PASTURES FOR STOCKFEED If the crop or pasture is to be cut for stockfeed, do not sell any stock that have been fed cut material for export slaughter until the Export Slaughter Interval (ESI) set below has been observed. The ESI is the minimum period that must elapse between removal of grazing livestock to clean pasture or clean feed and slaughter. GRAZING TREATED AREAS AND CROPS FOR DOMESTIC & EXPORT MARKETS & FOR LIVESTOCK PRODUCING MILK FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION: LIVESTOCK DESTINED FOR THE DOMESTIC MARKET Trojan may persist on dry pasture (or in harvested and stored animal feed, e.g. hay) for long periods. Livestock fed on pastures that were treated when drying off or while dry, may have residues at levels unacceptable to our overseas markets. Similarly, feeds harvested from pastures or crops treated when drying off or while dry, may have unacceptable levels of residues. The pasture, or crop, must be regarded as contaminated until such time as there has been substantial regrowth (i.e. following good rains or the Autumn break). Livestock grazing or receiving contaminated feed should be managed in accordance with the Export Intervals described above.
