HERBICIDE:
Controls certain annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in Maize, Sugarcane and Sweet Corn, also in Sorghum when previously treated with Concep® II Sorghum Seed Safener
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Restraints
DO NOT apply to waterlogged soil
DO NOT apply if heavy rains or storms that are likely to cause runoff are forecast within 2 days of application
DO NOT irrigate to the point of runoff for at least 2 days after application
DO NOT apply when very dry conditions prevail
DO NOT apply by aircraft
DO NOT apply product to any drainage line. Drainage lines show evidence of the action of periodically flowing water (eg gravel, pebble, rock or sand bed, scour hole or nick point) and/or an incised channel at least 30 cm deep.
DO NOT handle, mix, apply or conduct testing operations in areas susceptible to runoff where drainage results in rapid entry into waterways, particularly where no specific and effective action has been taken to prevent runoff into waterways. These areas may include areas mounded perpendicular to the contour, roads, access tracks, snig tracks and compacted log dumps.
NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION
WITHHOLDING PERIOD: DO NOT APPLY TO AREAS THAT WILL OR MAY BE GRAZED OR CUT FOR STOCK FOOD WITHIN 28 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This product is a residual, pre-emergent herbicide for the control of many important annual grass and broadleaf weeds in maize, sweet corn and Concep II treated sorghum without the problem of carryover of herbicides affecting succeeding crops. This product acts mainly through root and shoot absorption. Its effectiveness depends on the occurrence of rainfall or irrigation to move it down into the weed root zone.
The maximum rate of atrazine application in all crops except plantation forestry is limited to an amount of product equivalent to 3 kg ai atrazine/ha per year. DO NOT exceed this limit when applying an atrazine herbicide post-emergence, where PRIMEXTRA GOLD has been applied pre-emergence.
Mixing
DO NOT mix, load or apply this product within 20 m of any well, sink hole, intermittent or perennial stream.
Settling may occur after storage for some weeks. Stir product or invert container several times before opening. Pour the product into the spray vat through a strainer to remove any dry particles or flakes, which can occasionally occur under hot storage conditions. Add the full quantity of product to the partly filled spray tank while agitating. Fill tank and agitate to ensure thorough mixing. Continue agitation while spraying. Agitate vigorously from the bottom if allowed to stand. Reseal part used container immediately.
Compatibility:
PRIMEXTRA GOLD is compatible with 2,4-D amine (500 g/L), Dual Gold, flowable ametryn (500 g/L), flowable diuron (500 g/L), Gramoxone 250 and Spray.Seed 250 Herbicide.
Resistant Weeds Warning
PRIMEXTRA GOLD Herbicide is a member of the triazine and amide groups of herbicides and has the inhibitor of photosynthesis at photosystem II and the diverse sites mode of action. For weed resistance management this is a Group C and K herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to PRIMEXTRA GOLD and other Group C and K 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 PRIMEXTRA GOLD or other Group C and K herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Syngenta Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of PRIMEXTRA GOLD to control the resistant weeds. Advice as to strategies and alternative treatments that can be used should be obtained from your local supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, Primary Industries Department or a Syngenta representative. Any incidents of resistance must be reported to Syngenta, phone 1800 067 108.
PRECAUTION
Re-entry Period: DO NOT enter treated areas without protective clothing until spray has dried
Crop Injury: Crop retardation or injury can occur following the use of PRIMEXTRA GOLD under certain conditions. The crop retardation normally only occurs when sufficient rainfall is received after application to carry the herbicide to the germinating seed or into the root zone. Although not common, the occurrence of growth retardation can be hard to predict as many factors, including soil type, soil moisture, crop type, and rainfall events interplay to influence the movement of the herbicide in the soil profile. Since crop retardation is very difficult to predict, Syngenta accepts no liability for any losses that may result from growth retardation.
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 susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures.
DO NOT apply, drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas where their roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots.
DO NOT plant crops other than maize, sweet corn, sugarcane or Concept II treated sorghum within 6 months of application of PRIMEXTRA GOLD at rates up to 3.2 L/ha and for 18 months at rates of PRIMEXTRA GOLD above 3.2 L/ha. On soils with a pH (CaCl2) greater than 7, a bioassay or analytical test should be undertaken before sowing susceptible crops.
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT
DO NOT apply this product within 60 m of natural or impounded lakes or dams.
DO NOT use in channels and drains.
DO NOT apply under meteorological conditions or from spraying equipment which could be expected
to cause drift of this product or spray mix into adjacent areas, particularly wetlands, waterbodies or
watercourses.
DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged
periods in direct sunlight.
For non-refillable containers
Triple or preferably pressure rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to the spray tank. DO
NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to
recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and bury empty
containers in 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.
For refillable containers
Empty contents fully into application equipment. Close all valves and return to point of supply for refill
or storage.
