USE RESTRICTIONS
General:
- Do not apply SUMIMAX WP to poorly drained soils or soils with a compaction layer. Water logging in the presence of herbicides will cause stand reduction and/or stunted growth which may lead to yield reduction.
- DO NOT apply SUMIMAX WP through any type of irrigation system.
-
DO NOT spray SUMIMAX WP with alkaline water - first use a buffer to lower water pH if necessary.
To avoid injury to follow-up crops the following waiting periods should be heeded:
- groundnuts and soya beans - 14 days
- all other crops - 4 months (a test planting is recommended).
- The application of lime to soils onto which SUMIMAX WP was applied, may lead to desorption of the SUMIMAX WP molecules from the soil particles. This may increase the possibility of crop damage.
Groundnuts and Soya beans :
- All the use restrictions under “general” are applicable to groundnuts and soyabeans as well.
- The optimum planting depth should be observed for the crop as recommended by ARC- Grain Crops Institute.
Groundnuts: 50 - 75mm(depending on seedbed and soil conditions)
Soya beans: 20 - 60mm (depending on seedbed and soil conditions)
-
On lands subject to wind erosion, two situations may occur:
1. Poor weed control due to wind transfer of the herbicide.
2. Wind damage/weakening of seedlings making them more susceptible to herbicide
damage. -
DO NOT apply SUMIMAX WP to any groundnut or soyabean crop if atrazine or other triazine herbicides were applied to a preceding crop, unless not more than 750 g a.i. triazine/ha was applied and a period of 9 months or longer has passed since the triazine application.
-
Apply SUMIMAX WP pre-emergence on groundnuts or soya beans either 14 days prior to planting or at planting, or immediately after planting. Do not apply SUMIMAX WP later than 48 hours after planting the crop to be treated.
-
Only use high quality, fresh (preceding season) fungicide treated, certified seed with good viability.Observe standard ARC-Grain Crops Institute recommendations for fungicide seed treatment and trace element additions e.g. molibdenum.
-
The occurrence of seedling diseases leads to germination and seedling vitality losses which will be aggravated by herbicide(s).
-
Any of the above factors listed or combinations thereof, will increase the risk of damage caused by the herbicide(s).
Deciduous Fruit, Citrus and Vines
- SUMIMAX WP is a PPO herbicide. These herbicides destroy the chlorophyll of plants in the presence of sunlight. Spraydrift due to wind, air currents or incorrect spraying equipment etc. coming into contact with green chlorophyll containing plant tissue will result in herbicide damage. It is therefore necessary to ensure that SUMIMAX WP containing spray mixture should not come into contact with chlorophyll containing plant tissue on the deciduous fruit or citrus trees, (vines*) or adjacent non-target crops.
- It is the responsibility of the applicator to ensure that the spray does not come into contact with non-target plant tissue.
- Spraying equipment used for the application of SUMIMAX WP may not be used for any foliar applications, as damage may occur to foliage or fruit.
- Spraying equipment should be thoroughly cleaned after usage as described under PRECAUTIONS.
- SUMIMAX WP shall only be applied to vines, deciduous or citrus trees as a pre- blossom application, due to the inability of applicators to prevent drift.
- Directions For Use
Use only as directed.
- Mixing Instructions
SUMIMAX WP herbicide is a 50 % wettable powder in a water-soluble sachet, the product
contained in each sachet has a mass of 100 g. The outer protective container contains ten
water-soluble sachets. The entire sachet and contents dissolve and disperse in water. Do not
handle the soluble sachets excessively or expose them to water because this may cause
rupturing. Unused sachets should be kept in the outer protective container and stored in a
cool, dry, secure storage area.Half-fill the spray tank with clean water. Under constant agitation add the required amount of
SUMIMAX WP by dumping the required number of unopened water-soluble sachets into the
spray tank and then add the rest of the water. Keep the chemical in suspension by means of
agitation.When tank-mixing SUMIMAX WP with another herbicide, read the label of the
complementary herbicide and adhere closely to the manufacturer‟s recommendations. Half-
fill the spray tank with clean water and under constant agitation first add the required amount
of SUMIMAX WP in the form of water-soluble sachets. Continue filling the spray tank with
water and add the required amount of complementary herbicide just before the tank is filled
to its full level. Keep the chemicals in continuous suspension by maintaining continuous
agitation.Tank mixtures must be sprayed out immediately and should not be allowed to stand in the
spray tank overnight. After the spraying operation, flush out spraying equipment thoroughly.- Application
Spray equipment must be accurately calibrated prior to and during application of SUMIMAX WP. Good results are obtained using flat-fan spray nozzles to ensure even spray distribution. However, where there is a danger of microdroplets drifting onto susceptible plant tissue air-mix no-drift type nozzles or equivalent shall be used. SUMIMAX WP is activated by moisture and best weed control is achieved when applied to a moist soil on a fresh seedbed, followed by + 15 mm rainfall or irrigation within one week of application. Note that flood irrigation can result in reduced weed control efficacy
Groundnuts and Soya beans:
SUMIMAX WP or SUMIMAX WP plus glyphosate 360 SL can be applied 14 days before the intended planting date. Alternatively, SUMIMAX WP can be applied on its own, or in a tank mixture with alachlor 384 EC at planting or within 48 hours of planting. Use 200 - 300ℓ/ha total spray volume for overall ground application.
For banded applications of SUMIMAX WP use proportionately less product per hectare for the band versus a broadcast application.
The best results will be obtained if SUMIMAX WP is applied onto an even, well-prepared seedbed which is free of clods, trash and weeds.
If dry weather conditions should prevail for a period of 7 - 10 days after application, weeds may germinate and develop. If this happens, use shallow cultivation with a rotary harrow to control these weeds and to mix the herbicide with the top 10 - 20 mm of soil. Deeper cultivation should be avoided as untreated soil may be brought to the surface and reduced efficacy of SUMIMAX WP could result.
Deciduous fruit vines and citrus (forestry)*:
If existing weeds are present, these may have a detrimental effect on the efficacy of SUMIMAX WP.
SUMIMAX WP is a pre-emergence herbicide and will only control weeds that have not germinated at the time of application. If applied to germinated weeds, a tank mixture with paraquat 200 SL or glyphosate 360 SL should be used, or the site should be cleared using chemical or mechanical means prior to the application of SUMIMAX WP.
When applied to deciduous fruit, citrus and vines, SUMIMAX WP should be applied as a directed spray, and avoid contact of the spray mixture with the foliage or fruit of the crop. Please refer to “USE RESTRICTIONS” and “APPLICATION” for full particulars.
Prevent overlapping of the spray swaths.
Apply in 200 - 400ℓ water/ha.

REMARKS
IMPORTANT NOTES
1. WARNING: Wet conditions (more than 20mm rain) especially when combined with cold (less than
10C at night) and sandy soils and/or overcast weather within four weeks after planting can cause
crop injury, particularly on groundnuts. Refer to first paragraph under “WARNINGS”.
2. DO NOT EXCEED the above specified dosage rates of any of the products SUMIMAX WP, or
ALACHLOR 384 EC as crop injury may result - ensure STRICT ADHERENCE to the specified
rates.
3. Before using SUMIMAX WP in combination with other herbicides, read the labels concerned and
adhere to the label recommendations, warnings and use restrictions.
4. Do not fail to adhere to the warnings listed under “use restrictions” on this label.
5. Seed size : Smaller groundnut seed may be more susceptible to herbicide damage than
larger seeds.
6. SUMIMAX WP may be applied 14 days prior to planting. By doing this, the risk of crop injury will
be reduced but the residual efficacy of the SUMIMAX WP and the control of weeds in the planting
row may be compromised. Existing weeds can be controlled by adding 1,0 - 3,0ℓ of glyphosate
360 SL to the SUMIMAX WP.
7. The alachlor 384EC or SUMIMAX WP tank mixed with alachlor must be applied at planting or
within 48 hours of planting.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Compatibility
SUMIMAX WP is compatible with glyphosate 360 SL and paraquat 200 SL. Since the formulation of these products may change without the knowledge of PHILAGRO SOUTH AFRICA (PTY) LIMITED and the quality of water may vary from farm to farm, a physical compatibility test should always be carried out prior to application.
Safety & Health
- Warnings
Under certain climatic conditions, SUMIMAX WP may damage groundnuts or soya beans to the extent that yield and quality may be negatively affected. These conditions have been identified as wet and overcast weather, possibly involving low temperatures as well. However, the exact parameters where damage occurs cannot be accurately determined except that damage is probable in fields with less than 10% clay content, in the germination zone, if heavy rain falls after application. These conditions may vary from farm to farm, year to year and even from land to land. The user is therefore warned that he accepts a certain amount of risk by using this product.
Handle with care. Harmful if swallowed.. May irritate eyes and skin. Keep out of reach of children, uninformed persons and animals. Store in a cool place, away from food, feeds, seed and other agricultural chemicals. Toxic to fish andother aquatic organism.
Re-entry: Do not enter treated area until spray deposit has dried unless wearing protective clothing.
Although this remedy has been extensively tested under a large variety of conditions, the registration holder does not warrant that it will be efficacious under all conditions because the action and effect thereof may be affected by factors such as abnormal soil, climatic and storage conditions; quality of dilution water; compatibility with other substances not indicated on the label and the occurrence of resistance of weeds against the remedy concerned as well as by the method, time and accuracy of application. The registration holder furthermore does not accept responsibility for damage to crops, vegetation, the environment or harm to man or animal or for lack of performance of the remedy concerned due to failure of the user to follow the label instructions or to the occurrence of conditions which could not have been foreseen in terms of the registration. Consult the supplier orregistration holder in the event of any uncertainty.
- Precautions
Wear rubber gloves and face shield protection when handling the concentrate. Avoid inhalation of dust or spray mist. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. In case of contamination, flush immediately with water. Do not eat, drink or smoke whilst mixing and applying or before washing hands and face and change of clothing. Avoid drift onto other crops, desirable vegetation and areas not under treatment, including row and tree crops listed on this label on land adjacent to land being treated pre-emergence. Immediately after SUMIMAX WP application, the spray equipment must be cleaned thoroughly to prevent contamination of subsequent applications, using the following method:
Drain tank completely then flush tank, boom and hoses with clean water. Drain again.
- Fill the tank with clean water and add household ammonia (contains 3% active) at the rate of 1 liter every 100 liter water. Circulate the ammonia solution in the tank, boom and hoses for at least 15 minutes.
- To remove traces of ammonia, rinse the tank with clean water and flush through booms and hoses.
- Repeat steps (ii) and (iii).
- Nozzles and filters must be removed and cleaned separately with ammonia solution at the same concentration as above.
- Any contamination on the outside of the spraying equipment should be removed by washingwith clean water.
Do not spray, drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or plants or where their roots may extend. Water used for cleaning must not be allowed to contaminate untreated areas.
Destroy empty container and never use for any other purpose.
Prevent contamination of food, feeds, drinking water and eating utensils.
- Resistance Warning
SUMIMAX is a group code E herbicide. Any weed population may contain plants naturally resistant to SUMIMAX and other group code E herbicides. The resistant plants can eventually dominate the plant population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant plants may not be controlled by SUMIMAX or any other group code E herbicides.
To delay herbicide resistance:
- Avoid exclusive repeated use of herbicides from the same herbicides group code. Alternate or tank mix with products from different herbicide group codes.
- Integrate the control methods (chemical, cultural, biological) into control programs.
- For specific information on resistance management contact the registration holder of this product.
