General Instructions - Brush ApplicationsThis product is a selective herbicide which is absorbed by root and leaves.Best results are achieved when:1. Application is made to actively growing plants which are not stressed by

any factors such as dry weather conditions, waterlogging etc.2. Plants to be treated are thoroughly covered. This is essential to achieve

maximum herbicide uptake.Regrowth may occur if the product is applied when plants are stressed or ifcomplete spray coverage is not achieved. If regrowth does occur, re-treatmentat the rates on this label are recommended. For blackberries re-treatmentshould only be undertaken if plants are at least 1 metre tall. This may not beuntil 2 years after the initial application.If weeds have been previously sprayed with other herbicides or if the weedshave been burned or slashed ensure 2 years have elapsed before treatingwith Metsun 600 Herbicide. If legumes are over sprayed with Metsun 600Herbicide, they will be removed from the sward. It is recommended that thisproduct not be applied to bushes bearing mature blackberries due to thecollection of blackberries for food purposes.

Application EquipmentThis product may be applied by air, handgun, boom spray or gas gunaccording to the Directions For Use Table.Handgun - Ensure complete and uniform coverage of all canes and foliage.Pressures of 550-750 kPa (80-100 psi) are recommended depending onsize of bushes and target species. As an example: Use No 4 or 5 spraynozzle for individual bushes or broadleaf weeds less than 1 metre high.Use No 5 or 6 spray nozzle for bushes 1-2 m high and No 7 or 8 spraynozzle for large bushes 2-3 metres high or for bushes with a large diameter.When using 3g Metsun Herbicide + 400mL of Bio Choice 360 pressures ofgreater than 800 kPa should be used to assist penetration.NOTE: For blackberry regrowth use the large spray nozzle/high volumewith as wide a cone setting as possible. Use even, side by side spraypattern moving from the base to the top of the bush. For blackberries it isimportant that runners at the side and top of the bush are treated and thatspray pentrates larger bushes to wet the foliage and canes.Boom Spray - Ensure the boom is properly calibrated to a constant speedor rate of delivery for thorough coverage and uniform spray pattern. Fannozzles using pressures of 240 to 280 kPa are recommended. Adjust theboom height to ensure correct spray overlap. Apply in a minimum of 150Lprepared spray per hectare. Increase to 200L/ha or more for dense stands.

11

Gas Gun - Ensure thorough coverage. The use of a suitable dye isrecommended to allow operator to see which plants have been treated.Aerial Application - (by helicopter only) Use a properly calibrated helicopterusing the half overlap opposite pass technique. Apply a minimum of 100L/ha on blackberries and 60L/ha on Mimosa pigra up to a maximum of 200Lprepared spray per hectare. Use a VMD of 300 microns. High temperaturesand/or low humidity may cause excessive evaporation of droplets and mayreduce results. Where bushes are large or terrain is steep, higher watervolumes are necessary to ensure adequate coverage. Avoid spraying inconditions which favour temperature inversions or in still conditions. Turnoff boom when passing over creeks, dams or waterways. Avoid sprayingwhere drift can move onto crop areas that are likely to be planted to cropsand non target pastures as injury may occur. Do not apply when temperaturesexceed 30oC.

Tank mixes with BioChoice 360 Herbicide.In certain situations such as the presence of harder to kill species or infollow-up treatment situations a tank mix with BioChoice 360 may provideimproved weed control (see directions for use table).

Use of surfactant/Wetting agentMetsun 600 alone - It is important that a surfactant wetting agent is ALWAYSused with this product. If no specific wetting agent/surfactant isrecommended in the directions for use table use a non-ionic surfactant(100%) at 100mL/ 100L of final spray volume (e.g. Distribution Wetter 1000at 100mL/100L)Metsun 600 tank mixed with Glyphosate - Use a non-ionic surfactant whenmixing with Bio Choice or other glyphosate formulations. In some tank mixsituations the use of an organosilicone penetrant (eg Pulse1) isrecommended. This recommendation must be strictly followed in order toachieve adequate weed control.Gas gun applications - An organosilicone penetrat (eg Pulse1) should beadded at the rate of 10mL/ 5L or 200mL/100L of final spray volume.Where a mineral spray oil is recommended use 1L/100L of final sprayvolume (ie 1% volume/volume).Always read the instructions on the companion product label when tankmixing.

CompatibilityThis product is compatible with glyphosate formulations such as BioChoice360 Herbicide and Distribution 450 Herbicide.

Spray Preparation

The product is a dry flowable granule which must be mixed with cleanwater.

1. Partially fill the spray tank with water.

2. With the agitation system engaged, add the required amount of product(as per Diections for Use Table) to the tank using only the measuringdevice provided.

3. Add the remainder of the water.

4. Always maintain agitation to keep the product in suspension. If thespray solution is allowed to stand, thoroughly re-agitate before using.

Crop Rotation Recommendations

Many crop species are sensitive to metsulfuron methyl. The product isbroken down in the soil mainly by chemical hydrolysis and to a lesser degreeby soil microbes. Other factors which affectt breakdown are soil pH, soilmoisture and temperature. Breakdown is faster in warm, wet acid soilsand slowest in alkalaine, cold, dry soils.

Legumes will be removed from pasture if they are over sprayed with theproduct. Other species which are sensitive to metsulfuron methyl are:Barley, Canola, Cereal Rye, Chickpeas, Faba Beans, Japanese Millet,Linseed, Lupins, Lucerne, Maize, meedics, Oats, Panorama Millet, Peas,Safflower, Sorghum, Soybeans, Sub Clover, Sunflower, Triticale, Wheat,White French Millet. If is planned to plant a crop on an area previouslytreated with Metsun 600, it is recommended that a small area only besown to ascertain if the herbicide has broken down in the soil.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - CEREAL CROPSMetsun 600 herbicide is a selective herbicide which can be used in Cereal crops when the crop is at the 3 leafto before booting stage. It may also be applied before planting the crop ie pre-plant. Best results are obtainedif weeds are small (no larger than 5cm in height or diameter) and actively growing. To achieve good weedcontrol, it is preferable that rainfall wets the soil to a depth of 5 to 7.5cm within 4 weeks of application. Ifapplication is not made when conditions and weed growth are optimum, results may be slow to appear andsome weeds may only be suppressed or stunted.For post emergent application, the product will remain in the soil for a period of time. The soil persistence will dependon environmental conditions such as soil pH, moisture, temperature and soil organic matter. Breakdown is faster inwarm, wet acid soils and slowest in alkaline, cold, dry soils. This product does NOT provide acceptable residual control.

Application Equipmentfor control of weeds in winter cereal crops the product may be applied by ground or air.Ground Application - ensure the boom is properly calibrated to a constant speed or rate of delivery for thoroughcoverage and uniform spray pattern. Avid overlapping and shut off boom while starting, turning, slowing orstopping as injury to the crop may occur. Apply in a minimum of 50L prepared spray/ha.Aerial Application - apply in a minimum of 20L/ha. application in higher water volumes may improve weedcontrol reliability. Avoid spraying in conditions which favour temperature inversions, still conditions, or in windslikely to cause drift onto sensitive crops or fallow areas to be planted to sensitive crops. Turn off boom whenpassing over creeks, dams or waterways. The use Micronair equipment is not recommended as the finedroplets emitted may lead to spray drift.

Use of surfactant/wetting agentAlways add a non-ionic surfactant/wetting agent at the rate of 0.1% (active constituent) of final spray volume.e.g. Distribution Wetter 1000 surfactant at 100mL/100L EXCEPT when tank mixing with Terbutryn or Diuron.The use of spraying oils is NOT recommended.

CompatibilityMetsun 600 is compatible with most commonly used broadleaf herbicides including:MCPA Amine, diuron Flowable, distribution 2,4-D Amine, Terbutryn, MCPA Ester, Tigrex 1, Tordon1 242, Tordon1

50D, Metribuzin, Lontrel1, Dicamba, Starane1, BioChoice 360 Herbicide, Distribution Glyphosate 450 Herbicide.The product is also compatible with commonly used insecticides such as Chlorpyrifos and Omethoate. Sometemporary crop yellowing may occur with these mixtures. Other mixture should be tested on a small scalebefore large areas are treated.NOTE: some herbicides may be physically compatible with Metsun 600, but the mixture may result in decreasedweed control. Mixtures of Metsun 600 and the following herbicides: Puma 1, Diclofop-methyl, Tristar1, Grasp1,Mataven1 L will result in:a) some reduction in grass weed control (All States)b) In heavily weed infested areas control may be inadequate (Victoria and Tasmania only)c) significant reduction in grass weed control (WA and SA only) and or some crop damage (WA only).

Mixture of Metsun 600 and Diclofop methyl / Tristar1 are not recommended in WA.

Spray PreparationThe product is a dry flowable granule which must be mixed with clean water.1. Partially fill the spray tank with water.2. With the agitation system engaged, add the required amount of product (as per Directions for use Table)

to the tank using only the measuring device provided.3. Add the remainder of the water.4. Always maintain agitation to keep the product in suspension. If the spray solution is allowed to stand,

thoroughly re-agitate before using.If tank mixing with another product, ensure Metsun 600 is in suspension before adding the other product to the tank.

23

If using in conjunction with liquid fertilisers, slurry the product in water before mixing the slurry into the liquidfertiliser. Do not add surfactant and check with the Department of Agriculture on compatibility.

Crop SafetyDo not apply to the wheat varieties Miling, Jacup, King or Harrier.Do not apply to crops undersown with legumes as legumes will be seriously af fected by the product.Should the crop have been treated with another sulfonylurea herbicide eg Chlorsulfuron, consult your localrepresentative or Department of Agriculture before application of Metsun 600 as crop injury may occur.Do not apply to crops that are stressed by any factor such as adverse environmental conditions, waterlogging,drought, frost, poor nutrient status, extreme acid or alkaline soil conditions, insect or nematode damage. Cropinjury may occur if the product is applied to these crops. If the crop is stressed after application of the herbicide,crop yellowing and slow growth may occur but the final yield is normally unaf fected as the crop will recover.Application to soils with pH 5.5 or less may result in some crop retardation, especially if the crop is stressed.

Crop Rotation RecommendationsMany crop species are sensitive to metsulfuron methyl. The minimum recropping intervals are given in thetable below. Do not rotate crops other than those listed below to land previously treated with metsulfuronmethyl. It is advisable to determine crop tolerance on a small scale before sowing larger areas.

MINIMUM RECROPPING INTERVAL

General Instructions - Established Pastures and Pasture Renovation.* Some temporary yellowing and some stunting may occur when used on Perennial Phalaris and/or estaablished

Perennial cocksfoot.* It is NOT recommended to apply this product to Annual and Perennial Ryegrass as these species could be

severely damaged.* The following weeds will not be controlled: Barley grass (Hordeum leporinum), Brome grass (Bromus

unioloides), Silvergrass (Vulpia spp.), Winter Grass (Poa annua),* Best results will be achieved if weeds are allowed to recover from grazing prior to herbicide application to

allow for adequate uptake of the product. Sorrel and Docks particularly require new leaf growth. Somesorrel seedlings may germinate after the break the following year.

* Legumes are extremely sensitive to Metsun 600. Ungerminated clover will not be af fected but seed set ofclover in the year following application will be significantly reduced. If seed banks are not large, it may benecessary to re-sow clover.

* Application to weeds that are not actively growing due to adverse conditions may results in weeds onlybeing stunted or suppressed.

* For Pasture Topping situations this product may be mixed with Distribution Glyphosate 450 Herbicide butensure crop rotation recommendations are observed. Refer to the Directions for Use for each Target weedon each product label.

Use of surfactant/wetting agentALWAYS add a mpm-ionic surfactant/wetting agent at the rate of 0.2% (active constituent) of final spray volume.e.g. Distribution Wetter 1000 at 200 mL/100LCompatibilityMetsun 600 is compatible with most commonly used pasture herbicides including: MCPA Amine, Distribution2,4-D Amine, MCPA Ester, Lontrel1, Distribution Glyphosate 450 Herbicide, BioChoice 360 Herbicide. Thisproduct is also compatible with commonly used insecticides such as chlorpyrifos and omethoate.Crop Rotation RecommendationsThe area sprayed with Metsun 600 Herbicide may be replanted to the specified pasture species afterthe interval in the following table:

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS RELATING TO ALL USES FOR METSUN 600 HERBICIDE

Resistant Weeds WarningMetsun 600 herbicide is a member of the sulfonyl urea group of herbicides. Metsun 600 herbicide has the ALSinhibitor mode of action. For weed resistance management Metsun 600 herbicide is a Group B Herbicide.

Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Metsun 600 Herbicide and other ALS inhibitor herbicidesmay exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventuallydominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not becontrolled by Metsun 600 Herbicide or any other ALS inhibitor herbicide.

Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Grow Choice Pty Ltd accepts noliability for any losses that may result form the failure of Metsun 600 herbicide to control resistant weeds.

Sprayer CleanupMany plant specie are sensitive to low concentrations of Metsun 600 Herbicide. For this reason it is importantto thoroughly clean spray tanks after use as small quantities of product remaining in the tank may cause injuryto desirable pastures and crops if the tank is used for other spraying procedures. The following method of tankcleanup should be used:

1. Drain tank and flush tank, boom, and hoses for at least 10 minutes.

2. Fill the tank with clean water and add 300mL of household bleach (containing 4% chlorine) per 100Lwater. Flush through the hoses and boom, allow to stand for 15 minutes with agitation system engaged,then drain.

3. Repeat Step 2.

4. Nozzles and screens should be removed and cleaned separately.

5. Remove traces of chlorine bleach by rinsing the tank thoroughly with clean water and flushing hoses andboom.

WARNING: DO NOT use chlorine bleach with ammonia. It is important that liquid fertilisers containing ammoniabe rinsed form the application equipment before adding a chlorine bleach solution. If traces of ammonia arepresent it may react with the chlorine bleach releasing a gas with musty chlorine odour which may cause eye,nose, throat and lung irritation. DO NOT clean equipment in an enclosed area.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENTDo not contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. DO NOT apply toweeds growing in or over water. DO NOT spray across open bodies of water.

PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCKThere is a nil withholding period for this product and stock may continue to graze where the product has beenused in pasture situations. It is recommended that stock are removed form the pasture for about 3 days toensure product efficacy. Certain plants such as bracken are naturally toxic to stock. When toxic plants arepresent, it is recommended that grazing be delayed until complete browning of treated plants has occurred.

28

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTSDo not apply or drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants or on areas where their rootsmay extend or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots.Do not apply under weather conditions, or form spraying equipment, that may cause drift onto nearby susceptibleplants/crops, cropping lands or pastures.

STORAGE AND DISPOSALKeep out of reach of children.DO NOT store the prepared spray for more than 2 days.DO NOT store tank mixes with other products.Store in the closed original container in a cool, well ventilated area. Do not store for prolonged periods in directsunlight.

Triple or preferable pressure rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. Do not dispose ofundiluted chemicals on site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designatedcollection point.

If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and bury empty containers in a local authority landfill. If no landfill isavailable, bury the containers below 500mm in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purposeclear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots. Empty containers and product should not be burnt.

SAFETY DIRECTIONSMay irritate the eyes and skin. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not inhale dust or spray mist. After useand before eating, drinking or smoking, wash hands, arms and face thoroughly with soap and water .

FIRST AIDIf poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre (PHONE AUSTRALIA: 131 126).
