The add<strong>it</strong>ion of a low rate of <strong>Striker</strong> (75 mL/ha) willimprove knockdown and increase the speed at which treated weedsdevelop visible symptoms of phytotoxic<strong>it</strong>y (compared to resultsachieved w<strong>it</strong>h Roundup alone).<strong>Striker</strong> is the recommended tank mix partner for spike applicationsof all broadacre glyphosate formulations (Roundup ® PowerMAX TM ,Roundup ® CT, Roundup ® Dry and Cred<strong>it</strong> ® +Bonus ® ). Its use providesfast burndown and control of hard-to-kill weeds including annualNettles (Urtica spp.) and Marshmallow (Malva parviflora). <strong>Striker</strong> isalso compatible w<strong>it</strong>h paraquat (Nuquat ® 250).The fast action of <strong>Striker</strong> means less weed compet<strong>it</strong>ion. Andbecause there are no timing restrictions on sowing after theapplication of <strong>Striker</strong>, growers have increased flexibil<strong>it</strong>y w<strong>it</strong>hestablishing winter cereals and cotton crops.<strong>Striker</strong> in fru<strong>it</strong> and nut trees, vines,vegetables and forestry<strong>Striker</strong> controls both grass and broadleaf weeds by contact andresidual activ<strong>it</strong>y. Depending on the crop, <strong>it</strong> can be applied whetherweeds are present or not (refer to label for more information).<strong>Striker</strong> binds tightly to soil particles, does not damage tree roots,and does not leach to groundwater. This favourable environmentalprofile makes <strong>it</strong> ideal for use in the establishment of orchards, andvery safe on dormant trees and vines.<strong>Striker</strong> is compatible w<strong>it</strong>h most commonly used knockdownherbicides including Roundup, Roundup PowerMAX, Cred<strong>it</strong>+Bonus,Weedmaster TM Duo, Nuquat 250 and Am<strong>it</strong>role T.Residual weed controlFor optimum residual weed control, <strong>Striker</strong> should be applied to thesoil surface before weed emergence, after all other agriculturaloperations such as, mechanical cultivation and reshaping ofirrigation furrows have been completed. The area should be leftundisturbed during the period of desired weed control.If seedling weeds are present, they should be young and activelygrowing, best results can be achieved by adding a non-ionicsurfactant where recommended (e.g. Spraymate TM Activator,Spraymate Chemwet 1000 or Surfactant 600).Weed control for up to 6 months may be expected, however spottreatment w<strong>it</strong>h knockdown herbicides may be needed to controlescape weeds and perennial grasses.Crop safetyDO NOT use tank mixes containing Roundup or other glyphosateproducts on trees and vines less than 3 years old unless effectivelyshielded from spray and drift. <strong>Striker</strong> alone can be applied todormant tree fru<strong>it</strong>s, nuts and vines of all ages at rates of 1 L or less,however, DO NOT apply <strong>Striker</strong> once bud swell has occurred. Trees(fru<strong>it</strong> and nut) and vines should be at least 3 years old when usingrates of 3 L/ha and more.In onions, DO NOT exceed 100 mL/ha at the hook leaf stage, DONOT use wetting agents, DO NOT apply in cond<strong>it</strong>ions of very highhumid<strong>it</strong>y, DO NOT apply to crops or weeds which are stressed.DO NOT apply directly to tobacco crops, <strong>Striker</strong> should be appliedto weed free moist soil, if seedling weeds are present the add<strong>it</strong>ionof a wetting agent will improve control.AmsinckiaBarley grassBarnyard grassBellvineBlackberry nightshadeBladder ketmiaBurrgrassCaltropCapeweedChickweedCommon cotulaCrowsfoot grassDeadnettleFat henGiant pigweedGroundselLiverseed grassLovegrassPigeon grassMarshmallowPigweedPotato weedPrickly lettuceRed natal grassRedshankRyegrassSesbania peaShepherd's purseSmallflower mallowSoursobSowthistleStarburrStinging nettleStinkgrassSummer grassThornappleWild mustardWild radishWireweedAmsinckia spp.Hordeum leporinumEchinochloa spp.Ipomoea spp.Solanium nigrumHibiscus trionumCenchrus australisTribulus terrestrisArctotheca calendulaStellaria mediaCotula australisEleusine indicaLamium amplexicauleChenopodium albumTrianthema portulacastrumSenecio vulgarisUrochloa panicoidesEragrostis spp.Setaria spp.Malva parvifloraPortulaca oleraceaGalinsoga parvifloraLactuca spp.Rhynchelytrum repensAmaranthus cruentusLolium spp.Sesbania cannabinaCapsella bursapastorisMalva parvifloraOxalis pes-capraeSonchus oleraceusAcanthospermum hispidumUrtica urensEragrostis cilianensisDig<strong>it</strong>aria spp.Datura stramoniumSisymbrium spp.Raphanus raphanistrumPolygonum aviculare
