Resistance Management
GROUP B HERBICIDE - ALS Inhibitor Mode of Action
Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Apparent Bow Saw 600 Herbicide and other ALS inhibitor herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability. Resistant individuals can dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. DO NOT use Group B Herbicide if it has been used during the current season. DO NOT apply to paddocks where there is a high risk of weeds resistant to Group B Herbicides.
Crop Safety Precautions
DO NOT use in winter cereal crops undersown with legume pasture species (medics, clovers). Care should be taken if applying in the same season to a crop already treated with another Sulfonylurea herbicide as crop damage may occur. Use on land with soil pH of 5.5 or less may result in crop retardation, particularly if crop is stressed. When treatment is followed by severe stress (drought, prolonged cold, waterlogging, frosty conditions), crop yellowing and growth retardation may occur. Crops normally recover without loss in yield.
Environmental Protection
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.
Always read the label and follow directions for use. The registered label is the legal document governing use of this product.
