Rates:<br />

115 g per acre.<br />

(One package treats 118 acres)<br />

Merge Adjuvant at the rate of 0.25 L per 100 L of spray solution or a non-ionic surfactant at 0.25 L per 100L of spray solution<br />

plus ammonium nitrate (UAN 28%) at 1.25L per 100L of spray solution must also be added. Use of an anti-foam agent is<br />

suggested.<br />

Refer to the product label for complete mixing instructions. A general guide to mixing can be found on page 8.<br />

Application Information:<br />

• Water Volume: Minimum 89 L per acre. Use higher water volumes when treating dense or tall vegetation.<br />

• Nozzles and Pressure: Maximum 20 psi (150 kPa) when using conventional flat fan nozzles. Low drift nozzles may<br />

require higher pressures for proper performance. Use a combination of application equipment and pressure that<br />

is designed to deliver an even coverage of ASABE coarse droplets that are less prone to drift. Non-target broadleaf<br />

plants are very sensitive to Overdrive drift. Avoid conditions that are conducive to drift. (See page 7 for drift control<br />

suggestions).<br />

Weed Control<br />

How it Works:<br />

Refer to Table 9 on page 48.<br />

Effects of Growing Conditions:<br />

DO NOT spray if temperatures are expected to exceed 27 o C. DO NOT spray in high humidity or fog. DO NOT spray if wind<br />

velocity exceeds 8 km/h. Established grasses growing under stress conditions can exhibit various injury symptoms that may<br />

be more pronounced if herbicides are applied.<br />

Tank Mixes:<br />

None registered.<br />

Restrictions:<br />

• Rainfall: Heavy rain within 4 hours of application may reduce control.<br />

• Re-entry Interval: DO NOT enter treated fields for at least 12 hours.<br />

• Grazing Restrictions: DO NOT permit lactating dairy animals to graze fields within 7 days after application. DO NOT<br />

harvest forage or cut hay within 30 days after application. Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days<br />

before slaughter.<br />

• Aerial Application: DO NOT apply by air.<br />

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.<br />

• Buffer Zones:<br />

º Hand-held or backpack sprayer and spot treatment DO NOT require a buffer zone from sensitive habitat, but efforts<br />

should be made to minimize exposure to sensitive plants and open water or wetlands.<br />

Application method<br />

Buffer Zones (metres † ) Required for the Protection of:<br />

See page 35 for an explanation of the different habitats.<br />

* Buffer zones can be reduced by 70% when using shrouds and by 30% when using cones mounted less than<br />

12 inches from he crop canopy.<br />

†<br />

Distance measured as metres from the downwind edge of the spray boom to sensitive habitat.<br />

Sprayer Cleaning:<br />

Refer to ‘Method A’ in the general section on sprayer cleaning on page 9 and 10.
