It is an offense for users of this product to cause residues exceeding the relevant MRL in the Food Notice: Maximum Residue Levels for Agricultural Compounds.
GRAIN AND SILAGE MAIZE AND SWEETCORN
- Rate And Timing of Application
2.5 – 3.0 liters in at least 200 liters of water per hectare to a freshly prepared seedbed immediately after planting and before crop emergence. Use the higher rate in clay soils and those with higher organic matter. If desired, TMAtraflow (atrazine) may be added to the tank mix to improve the spectrum of activity. Alternatively, Atraflow or TMBandit (dicamba) may be applied as follow-up post emergence treatment.
- Mixing
To ensure mixing pour the correct amount into the partly filled tank and add the remainder of the water while agitating. Agitate thoroughly before and during spraying and before spraying after a stoppage.
- Soil Conditions/Rainfall
Best results will be obtained when application is made to a freshly prepared, fine, moist soil, free of trash, with at least 10 mm of rain within 1 week of application. Under drier soil conditions, 30 mm of rain within 2 – 3 weeks is necessary. Application by pre–plant incorporation may be beneficial under very dry conditions.
- Soil Residues
Under normal use, soil residues should not carry over to successive crops. In a replant situation when the previous Sylon 840 treated crop may have failed for whatever reason, contact your Orion AgriScience representative or merchant for advice before replanting. If establishing pasture in peat soils, cultivate soil before sowing if Sylon 840 has been applied to the previous crop.

- Resistance Management
GROUP K3 HERBICIDE
Sylon 840 contains acetochlor, a group K3 herbicide belonging to the chloroacetamide chemical family. Resistance to this and other chloroacetamide or oxyacetamide herbicides could develop from excessive use. To minimize this risk, use strictly in accordance with label instructions and 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 this label.
