GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Resistant Weeds Warning GROUP J HERBICIDE

RAMBO HERBICIDE is a member of the alkanoic acids group of herbicides. RAMBO

HERBICIDE has the inhibitor of fat synthesis mode of action. For weed resistance management
RAMBO HERBICIDE is a Group J Herbicide.
Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to RAMBO HERBICIDE and other Group J
herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant
individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used
repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by RAMBO HERBICIDE or any other
Group J herbicides.
Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Allfire Enterprises Pty
Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of RAMBO HERBICIDE to
control resistant weeds.

Important
ƒ This product is very slow acting and control of existing growth will take 3-12 months
depending on weather conditions and senescence of plant foliage.
ƒ The actual length of satisfactory residual control will depend on soil type and rainfall until
regeneration occurs from grass seed or surviving rhizomes.
ƒ RAMBO HERBICIDE is liable to leaching and movement in the soil under heavy rainfall or
irrigation, and dry conditions favour its persistence in the soil.
ƒ Avoid use in channels and drains and where roots of desirable plants may extend; and in
other situations where desirable plants grow close to the treated area.
ƒ Control of grasses growing in shaded conditions may be reduced.
ƒ Subterranean clover and other annual legumes may be damaged by this product if exposed
to the spray or if they germinate before product residues have dissipated form the soil. Do
not treat pasture land with this product more than once per year.

Mixing
This product is highly soluble in water and the required amount can be added direct to the
spray tank while stirring or with the agitator running. When used in mixtures with dispersible
powders, first make a slurry of the powder in a small quantity of water, add this to the half filled
spray tank with the agitator running, and then add the required quantity of product and continue
filling until the spray tank is full. Good agitation must be maintained during the spraying
operation.

Wetting agent
Addition of 100mL of a non-ionic surfactant (600 g/L) per 100 litres of spray is recommended.

Compatibility
This product may be mixed with Glyphosate to improve knockdown of existing vegetation.

Application
Boom spray equipment should be carefully calibrated to deliver the required volume of spray
and checked to see that the nozzles are delivering a uniform spray pattern.
Paddock Preparation
Graze to reduce cover of desirable species for spraying.

Re-seeding
Desirable pasture species such as phalaris, cocksfoot, ryegrass, red and white clovers,
subterranean clovers and lucerne may be sown after at least 100mm of leaching rain has
fallen. If drought conditions prevail defer sowing until next season.

Clean up
Equipment should be cleaned after use.
