General Instructions
RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING
GROUP J HERBICIDE
Apparent Rocky 745 Herbicide is a member of the alkanoic acids group of herbicides. Apparent Rocky 745 Herbicide has the inhibitor of fat synthesis mode of action. For weed resistance management Apparent Rocky 745
Herbicide is a Group J Herbicide.
Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Apparent Rocky 745 Herbicide and other Group J herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by Apparent Rocky 745 Herbicide or any other Group J herbicides.
Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Apparent Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Apparent Rocky 745 Herbicide to control resistant weeds.

Important
• This product is very slow acting and control of existing growth will take 3 - 12 months depending on weather conditions and senescence of plant foliage.
• The actual length of satisfactory residual control will depend on soil type and rainfall until regeneration occurs from grass seed or surviving rhizomes.
• Apparent Rocky 745 Herbicide is liable to leaching and movement in the soil under heavy rainfall or irrigation, and dry conditions favour its persistence in the soil.
• Avoid use in channels and drains and where roots of desirable plants may extend; and in other situations where desirable plants grow close to the treated area.
• Control of grasses growing in shaded conditions may be reduced.
• Subterranean clover and other annual legumes may be damaged by this product if exposed to the spray or if they germinate before product residues have dissipated form the soil. Do not treat pasture land with this product more than once per year.

Mixing
This product is highly soluble in water and the required amount can be added direct to the spray tank while stirring or with the agitator running. When used in mixtures with dispersible powders, first make a slurry of the powder in a small quantity of water, add this to the half filled spray tank with the agitator running, and then add the required quantity of product and continue filling until the spray tank is full.
Good agitation must be maintained during the spraying operation.

Wetting agent
Addition of 100 mL of a non-ionic surfactant (600 g/L) per 100 litres of spray is recommended.

Compatibility
This product may be mixed with Glyphosate to improve knockdown of existing vegetation.

Application
Boom spray equipment should be carefully calibrated to deliver the required volume of spray and checked to see that the nozzles are delivering a uniform spray pattern.

Paddock Preparation
Graze to reduce cover of desirable species for spraying.

Re-seeding
Desirable pasture species such as phalaris, cocksfoot, ryegrass, red and white clovers, subterranean clovers and lucerne may be sown after at least 100 mm of leaching rain has fallen. If drought conditions prevail defer sowing until next season.

Clean up
Equipment should be cleaned after use.
PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS
DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures.
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT
DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemicals or used containers
