Effects of Growing Conditions:<br />

Extremes in environmental conditions such as temperature, moisture, soil conditions, and cultural practices may affect<br />

activity. Under warm moist conditions, herbicide symptoms may be accelerated. While under very dry conditions, the<br />

expression of herbicide symptoms may be reduced as weeds hardened off by drought are less susceptible.<br />

Tank Mixes:<br />

Herbicides:<br />

• Glyphosate* (180 to 360 g ae per acre)<br />

• 2,4-D Ester (213 g ae per acre) (fallow only)<br />

• Bromoxynil (57 g active ingredient per acre)<br />

• Bromoxynil + glyphosate (rates above)<br />

Harvest aid treatment:<br />

• Barley, chickpea, dry beans, faba bean, field pea, millet, oats, sorghum, and wheat:<br />

º Glyphosate* (360 g ae per acre)<br />

• Potato only: Reglone** (0.51 to 0.9 L per acre)<br />

* IPA or K salt only.<br />

** If this mix is applied, neither the mix, nor the individual products (Aim, Reglone) may be applied again following<br />

the application of the mix.<br />

Note: The above mixes are those listed on the Aim label only.<br />

Adding ingredients in the correct order is critical for optimum performance. Check labels of products to be mixed for<br />

directions. General guidelines can be found on page 8.<br />

Restrictions:<br />

• Rainfall: Rainfall within 1 hour after application may reduce activity. Heavy rainfall shortly after application may<br />

reduce activity.<br />

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

• Pre-harvest Interval: Leave 7 days between application and harvest for potatoes and 3 days for all other registered<br />

crops for harvest aid uses.<br />

• Grazing Restrictions: DO NOT graze the treated crop or cut for feed.<br />

• Re-cropping Interval: There are no rotational restrictions on crops registered for pre-seed use. All other crops may be<br />

planted 12 months after application.<br />

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

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and avoid excess heat.<br />

• Buffer Zones:<br />

Application method Buffer Zones (metres † ) Required for the Protection of Terrestrial Habitat<br />

Ground only* 5<br />

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

12 inches above the crop canopy.<br />

†<br />

Distance measured as metres from the downwind edge of the spray boom to sensitive habitat. DO NOT apply in<br />

areas where surface water from the treated area can run off into aquatic habitats.<br />

Sprayer Cleaning:<br />

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

Hazard Rating:<br />

Caution – Eye and skin irritant<br />
