Clean Sprayers Help<br />
Prevent Crop Injury<br />
Careful cleaning of sprayers is the applicator’s responsibility.<br />
Even small amounts of product from sulfonylurea<br />
herbicides, such as Exceed ® , Beacon ® , Glean ® , Amber<br />
® , Permit ® and Accent ® , may cause injury to sensitive<br />
crops.<br />
Use caution when using products, like emulsifiable<br />
concentrates (EC), that contain solvents and surfactants<br />
that help remove herbicide residue from spray<br />
tanks. These products may free SU herbicide residue<br />
from the sprayer which could cause injury to non-labeled<br />
crops.<br />
There are steps you can take to ensure your sprayers are<br />
clean.<br />

RINSING NOZZLES<br />
The Basics of Clean Equipment<br />
u Start with a thoroughly-cleaned sprayer before beginning<br />
a spray job.<br />
u Mix only as much spray solution as needed.<br />
u Wear appropriate protective clothing.<br />
u Carry a rinse tank filled with clean water or a wash<br />
solution on the sprayer. Immediately after spraying, flush<br />
the sprayer thoroughly before changing (or switching) to<br />
another chemical. Use a pressure washer to clean all<br />
interior and exterior surfaces with cleaning solution.<br />
Commercial Tank Cleaners<br />
There are several commercial tank cleaners which have<br />
been approved for removal of Novartis sulfonylurea compounds<br />
from sprayers. Most tank cleaners contain materials<br />
which raise the pH to a range of 7.3–14. These<br />
alkaline conditions help the sulfonylurea materials to<br />
dissolve so they can be rinsed more easily from the<br />
sprayer.<br />
Some tank cleaners are advertised as “neutralizers.”<br />
Those cleaners may degrade certain classes of chemical<br />
compounds when used according to instructions. However,<br />
none of the cleaning materials tested in Novartis<br />
U.S. Patent Nos. 4,478,635; 4,514,212; 4,671,819.<br />
u Flush the sprayer in the field to minimize handling<br />
issues with waste water. Take special care to rinse all<br />
hoses and lines. Materials may settle in the lines if not<br />
flushed out daily.<br />
u Consider installing a set of tank-rinsing nozzles on the<br />
spray tank. The rinsing nozzles should be connected to<br />
a separate tank which is used only for holding cleaning<br />
solution.<br />
u Dedicating a sprayer to one crop while using highlyactive<br />
products will also minimize potential problems.<br />
labs cause sulfonylurea compounds to decompose.<br />
Be sure to read and follow the tank cleaner manufacturer’s<br />
directions for use of a tank cleaner and wear proper<br />
protective clothing, including gloves, and eye protection.<br />
