C. At sowing Apply at or immediately after planting and before crop and weeds emerge. Application
application should preferably be made to moist soil and rain or irrigation should follow application.
Note: Applying the total amount of preparation as a pre-emergence application
increases the risk of crop damage.
D. Post-emergence Application must be made to seedling broadleaf weeds and grasses when they are not
application more than 1 cm high. Normally the crop is then at the 2 - 3 leaf stage. Soil should be
moist and rain or irrigation should follow application. Add Wetspray® at a rate of
250 mL per 100 L of spray for applications in sorghum, broom millet and saccaline,
and 5.5 L/ha of crop oil for maize and sweet corn.
Note: Should weeds develop after a pre-plant or pre-emergence application a shallow cultivation may assist control. Avoid
deep cultivation which may throw untreated soil over the sprayed areas, as this may seriously reduce weed control.
Eucalyptus/Pinus radiata plantations
Type of Application Critical Comments
Pre-planting Graze area heavily and apply the tank mixture no more than 2 weeks before planting.
Post-planting Apply tank mixture either immediately after or within one month of planting. Application must be made
before the spring commences. Avoid spraying the seedlings by using directed spray.Page 12
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
FARMOZINE 900 WG Herbicide is a pre- and post-emergence herbicide that controls weeds from seed and weed
seedlings. However, established perennial species, large annuals and large broadleaf weeds are not satisfactorily
controlled at the rates recommended. Duration and effectiveness of control depends on the amount of chemical
applied, soil type, rainfall and particular weed species. The maximum rate of atrazine application in all crops
except plantation forestry is limited to an amount of product equivalent to 3 kg a.i. atrazine per hectare per year.
DO NOT exceed this limit, especially when applying an atrazine herbicide post-emergence, where an atrazine
herbicide has been applied pre-emergence. The maximum rate of application in plantation forestry is an amount
of product equivalent to 4.5 kg a.i. atrazine per hectare per year in sandy soils and those defined as highly
erodible, and product equivalent to 8 kg a.i. atrazine per hectare per year in clay loam and heavier textured soils.
MIXING
Fill spray tank no more than 25 % full with clean water before adding FARMOZINE 900 WG. Begin agitating
vigorously and continue agitation during the entire mixing and spraying operation. Pour required amount of
product steadily into the spray tank. Allow vigorous bypass agitation to completely disperse product.
DO NOT dump product into spray tank all at once. After adding required quantity of product and obtaining
complete dispersion, continue to fill tank to desired level for spraying. Seal part used container immediately.
Thorough agitation of the spray liquid should continue during the entire spraying operation. Spray solution should
not be left standing in the tank overnight.
DO NOT mix, load or apply within 20 m of any well, sink holes, intermittent or perennial stream or river.
COMPATIBILITY
This product is compatible with post-emergent knockdown herbicides containing paraquat and other residual
herbicides such as diuron. In sugar cane only, addition of sodium 2,4-D will assist in short term suppression of
Nut Grass and other sedges.
APPLICATION
By low volume boom or aircraft. With aircraft application the need for good soil moisture at the time of application
and follow up rain or irrigation within 10 days is most critical. Suggested minimum volumes of spray mixture per
hectare:
Aircraft: 2030 litres per hectare
Boom: 50100 litres per hectare
Application can be made as an overall or band treatment. Minimum band width should be 30 cm.
DO NOT use human flaggers in aerial spraying, unless protected by engineering controls such as enclosed cabs.
TT-CANOLA: APPLICATION
DO NOT apply to TT-Canola by aircraft. Apply only with a low boom sprayer with a 60 m buffer zone downwind of
treated fields to natural or impounded lakes or dams, and a 20 m buffer zone for any well, sink hole, intermittent
or perennial stream. Apply only to areas where run-off is unlikely to occur or where run-off may be captured by
farm earthworks.
INCORPORATION (PRE-PLANT AND AT SOWING APPLICATION)
This product acts mainly by root absorption. Its effectiveness depends on the occurrence of rainfall or irrigation to
move it down into the weed root zone. Sufficient rain or irrigation to thoroughly wet the soil through the weed root
zone should occur or be made immediately after application to provide appropriate weed control. Delay in
activation of the product may result in some weed growth.
In flood or furrow irrigation situations complete and continued activation of the product may not occur due to a thin
band of dry soil on the surface during or after irrigation. Mechanical incorporation after application, using light
harrows to incorporate the product into the soil not more than 4 cm deep is required to ensure the irrigation water
activates the product.
Always apply the product to an even unridged seedbed.
SORGHUM, BROOM MILLET, SACCALINE AND FORAGE SORGHUM
Heavy rains immediately following an application tend to result in excessive concentrations of herbicide in seed
furrow, thus encouraging possible crop injury. This is most likely to occur when a Pre-plant or Pre-emergence
application is made using rates in excess of 2 kg per hectare. To avoid the likelihood of herbicide injury use
technique (A), (B), or (D) set out in “Method of Application Table“.

MAIZE AND SWEET CORN
For post-emergence application add crop oil at the rate of 5.5 litres per hectare if grasses are the major problem.
Spray mixture must be continually agitated.
DO NOT apply mixtures containing crop oil to stressed crops, inbred lines or breeding stock as injury may occur.
Where broadleafed weeds only are present add 250 mL Wetspray® per 100 litres of spray mixture.
NON-CROP
It is preferable to apply the spray to the bare ground before weeds commence growth, or apply to weed seedlings
before they reach 15 cm in size. Application should be timed with seasonal rainfall to allow movement of herbicide
into the weed root zone area of the soil. Apply this product in sufficient water to ensure even application, at least
550 litres and preferably 1100 litres per hectare.
