SPOT SPRAYING
- Rate And Timing of Application
CROP RATE PER HECTARE CRITICAL COMMENTS Barley Millet Ryecorn Wheat 1.1 – 1.7 liters Apply from 6 leaf stage of crop to jointing (when nodes are visible at the base of the stem). Do NOT apply to barley or wheat between jointing stage and flowering. Spring sown cereals undergoing rapid growth should be treated with MCPA, eg, Clean Sweep™ or Orion MCPA 750 Oats 1.1 liters Apply to autumn sown oats only, and treat in the following spring when plants are fully tillered. For spring sown oats, use MCPA, eg, Clean Sweep or Orion MCPA 750 Pasture 1.7 – 3.4 liters Use the lower rate for seedling weeds and small plants, the higher rate for more mature plants. Treat seedling weeds in late autumn or early winter. - Application Methods
Ammo Max can be applied with conventional ground and aerial equipment. Use a water rate of 100 – 300 liters per hectare for ground spraying, 30 – 100 liters per hectare for aerial spraying. Use the higher water rates for difficult to control perennial weeds. For aerial application, to minimize damage to susceptible vegetation within 500 meters, use low drift nozzles which minimize the production of small droplets (100 microns).
- Mixing
Partly fill the spray tank with water, and add the required quantity of Ammo Max. Maintain agitation through filling and spraying.
- Pasture Management
Ammo Max is damaging to all clovers, particularly red, subterranean and suckling clover. To minimize pasture damage, graze pasture to reduce clover leaf and to expose target weeds, and leave for one week to allow weeds to recover before spraying. Buttercup is better controlled with MCPA, eg, Clean Sweep or Orion MCPA 750. To improve control of thistles, add a clopyralid herbicide, e.g., Void™ at 100 mL per hectare. NOTE: Clopyralid will severely suppress clovers, which may take 6 – 12 months to recover. Bindweeds and Californian thistle will require repeat treatments. New Pasture: Ammo Max can be used in newly established pasture, but the maximum application rate should not exceed 1.7 L/ha (1.1 L/ha if red clover has been sown). Clovers must have at least 3 trifoliate leaves, and pasture must be grazed 3 – 7 days before application to remove clover foliage and minimize clover damage. Soils should have adequate nitrogen status. Clover growth will be suppressed for 3 – 4 months.
- Withholding Periods
Poisonous plants, eg ragwort, may become more palatable after spraying, and livestock should be kept out until plants have died down. For animal safety reasons, do not graze treated pasture for two weeks after application. This will also allow Ammo Max to penetrate throughout the weed for maximum effectiveness.
- Resistance Management
Ammo Max contains 2,4-D, which belongs to the phenoxy chemical group. Some naturally occurring weeds may become resistant when excessive use of the same herbicide occurs. To prevent or delay the development of resistance, use in tank mixes and/or rotate use with herbicides with a different mode of action. Consult http://resistance.nzpps.org/index.php for alternative modes of action and details of resistance management strategies (if any) for the crops listed on the label.

Store in the original, tightly closed container, in a secure place away from foodstuffs. Storage of certain quantities of this product trigger specific storage requirements (Refer to Safety Note). When stored appropriately this product should show no significant degradation for two years from the date of manufacture. Contact your supplier for further information about the use of product that is older than this. PERSONAL PROTECTION: Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Avoid inhalation of spray mist. When mixing or applying, wear overalls, boots, gloves, and eye protection. Clean protective clothing daily after work. Do not eat, drink or smoke while using. Remove protective clothing and wash hands and face thoroughly before meals and after work. USE: Apply with well maintained and calibrated spray equipment. DISPOSAL: Dispose of this product only by using in accordance with this label, or at a suitable landfill. Triple rinse container and add rinsate to the spray tank. Dispose of container to a suitable landfill or agricultural recycling scheme. Do not burn. Do not use container for any other purpose. ENVIRONMENTAL: Use this product carefully. Do not contaminate aquatic environments with product, spray drift or empty container. Spray drift or equipment contamination may cause serious damage to desirable plants and susceptible crops such as vegetables, flowers, fruit trees, ornamental shrubs, grapes and tomatoes. Do not use the same equipment to apply other chemicals to susceptible crops unless decontaminated completely. Do not allow spray drift outside the target area to occur. Spray in a constant light breeze that is away from sensitive crops. Application to drains and ditches must only be made when these waterways are dry and at least one month is allowed to elapse before the channels are used for carrying water. Check your regional council rules for specific requirements.
