Introduction

How it Works:
Refer to Table 9 on page 48.
Effects of Growing Conditions:
Damage to peas or seedling forage legumes may occur if the crop is sprayed when under drought or disease stress. Under
extremely hot or humid conditions, crop injury may be severe. DO NOT apply when temperatures are over 27 o C. Best
activity on weeds occurs in warm weather.
Tank Mixes:
None registered.
Restrictions:
• Rainfall: No rainfast period is specified on the label; required interval may be up to 8 hours. Contact manufacturer for
more information.
• Re-entry Interval: DO NOT enter treated fields for at least 12 hours.
• Grazing Restrictions: DO NOT graze crop treated with Topside or cut for hay. DO NOT graze or cut seedling forage
grasses in the year of treatment. Cereals treated with Tropotox or Clovitox may be used for grazing or cut for greenfeed
or hay 30 days after application. Forage legumes and peas treated with Clovitox may be used for animal feed 30 days
after application. Withdraw meat animals from fields treated with Tropotox or Clovitox at least 3 days before slaughter.
• Re-cropping Interval: No restrictions listed. Phenoxy herbicides can persist in soils for weeks, particularly if dry or cool
weather persists. DO NOT seed sensitive crops immediately after spraying.
• Aerial Application: Clovitox may be applied by air to established pasture and cereal crops (not underseeded to clover).
• Storage: DO NOT freeze.
• Buffer Zones:
º Hand-held or backpack sprayers, inter-row hooded sprayers and spot treatments are exempt from buffer zone
requirements.
Application method
Buffer Zones (metres † ) Required for the Protection of:
Aquatic Habitats of Depths
Terrestrial habitat
Less than 1 m
Greater than 1 m
Ground only* 1 1 4
See page 35 for an explanation of the different habitats.
* Buffer zones can be reduced by 70% when using shrouds and by 30% when using cones mounted less than
12 inches from the crop canopy.
†
Distance measured as metres from the downwind edge of the spray boom to sensitive habitat.
Weed Control
Sprayer Cleaning:
No specific cleaning procedures are indicated on the label. Based on products with similar chemistry, ‘Method B’ found
in the general sprayer cleaning section on page 9 and 10 or a commercial spray sprayer cleaning product, may provide
adequate cleaning. Contact the manufacturer for more information.
