Stomp 330 EC

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

STOMP 330 is a selective herbicide for the control of most annual grasses and certain broadleaved weeds. This product controls weeds by inhibiting seedling development; it will not control established weeds. For best results, seedbeds should be free of weeds, trash and clods at the time of application. Soils containing a high percentage of organic matter can result in poor control. It is recommended that application to soils containing a high percentage of organic matter (greater than 6%) be avoided.

Crop injury may result if cold, wet weather follows planting or if this product is applied to a poorly prepared seedbed. With the return of favourable growing conditions (warm weather), the crop will usually recover and resume normal growth.

STOMP will stain (yellow) any objects it contacts. Keep all objects, etc. that are not to be stained well clear of the product and spray.

MIXING

Put half the required volume of water in spray tank and start agitation. When using this product alone, add it to partially filled tank and then add the remaining the water. Mix thoroughly.
When using STOMP in tank mixes with products such as atrazine or diuron, mix these products as indicated on the relevant label and add the it last, then complete filling of the tank. Maintain good agitation at all times until spraying is completed. If the spray mixture is allowed to settle, thorough agitation is essential to re-suspend the mixture before spraying is resumed.

Note that when tank mixing this product with paraquat and glyphosate herbicides, the STOMP should be thoroughly mixed in the spray tank first, before adding a paraquat or glyphosate product.

APPLICATION METHOD

Ground Application: Use conventional sprayers with either mechanical or by-pass agitation. Flat fan nozzles should be used. Spray equipment should be correctly calibrated to ensure proper application. If applying STOMP in tank mix combination with atrazine or diuron, nozzle screens must be no finer than 50 mesh. Apply the recommended quantity of product in 50-200 litres of water per hectare. Where pre-emergence surface treatment is used, the higher rates of water are recommended.

Aerial Application: Pre-plant soybeans, cotton, sunflowers, peanuts, navy beans, cow peas, mung beans, pigeon peas and post-plant, post-flushed combine sown rice only. Apply the recommended quantity of this product in 25-60 litres of water per hectare. It is essential that the equipment is correctly calibrated and an even spray pattern is obtained. It is essential that markers be used and an accurate swath width is maintained. DO NOT apply if wind speed is greater than 16 km/hour. Always spray with a cross wind in accordance with recommended flying practice.

COMPATIBILITY
Physical compatibility of this product has been tested with the following herbicides: FLAME® Herbicide, atrazine, diuron, simazine, prometryne, fluometuron, fluometuron plus prometryne, ametryne, paraquat, propanil, linuron, glyphosate, Ramrod* Flowable, Logran+/Nugran+ and Avadex* Xtra (tri-allate).

FOLLOWING CROPS
In the event of crop failure the soil should be cultivated to a minimum depth of 15 cm to ensure any residues are evenly dispersed throughout the soil. If a maize crop fails due to weather conditions or some other reason, maize can be replanted the same year without adverse effects but seeding depth must be below the retilled area.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS
DO NOT apply under meteorological conditions or from spraying equipment which could be expected to cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants, adjacent crops, crop lands or pastures. 

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT
Dangerous to fish and other aquatic life. DO NOT contaminate dams, rivers, drains or streams with chemical or used containers.
