GENERAL INFORMATION
Mustang is a selective, systemic herbicide acting on annual and perennial dicotyledonous weeds of wheat, barley and barley. The product works well on weeds at temperatures between 5-250 ° C, unlike standard products that only become active from temperatures above 8-100 ° C. It is important that Mustang is not used after frost-free nights, because in such situations the efficacy decreases a lot.Best results are obtained when product is applied to actively growing weeds from late spring through to late autumn.
APPLICATION METHODS:
Mustang has to be applied in equipment made from stainless steel, fibreglass, plastic, aluminium, brass or copper. All spray equipment including pumps, spray tanks, lines and nozzles, and landing gear of aircraft should be thoroughly washed with water after each day spraying.
Boom equipment: Application can be made in spray volumes up to 400 litres/ha using fan nozzles at pressures in the range of 200-280 kPa. Boom height should be set so a double overlap of nozzle pattern is achieved at the top of the target plants.
Aerial equipment: Forest and non-crop areas. Can be applied by aircraft in spray volumes of up to 400 litres/ha. Increase spray volumes in hilly terrain to ensure maximum target contact. DO NOT USE NEAR INTENSIVE HORTICULTURAL CROPPING AREAS.
Handgun and Knapsack: Ensure a fine spray pattern to give complete coverage. For handguns, use pressures of 1000-2000 kPa . Apply no less than 1000 litres of spray mix per hectare. Only use a knapsack on small bushes where full coverage can be obtained.
Mistblower: Spray to achieve good coverage of the foliage and stems ensuring good penetration into the bush. Use the largest setting for ULV attachments.
Foaming nozzle system: Apply a minimum of 200 – 300 litres of water per hectare as a double overlap application of 100 – 150 litres per hectare.
Wiper equipment: Premix 1 gram Mustang in 1 litre of clean water. Ensure wipers are wet before starting application. Mix only enough for immediate use. Plants must be clean and dry and the wiper fully saturated. Apply up and down slopes for effective applications. For high weed density, reduce speed and apply twice in opposite directions.
Weeds controlled include Ragwort, Buttercup and the following thistles: Scotch, Californian, Winged and Nodding.
Stump swabbing: Mix 5g of Mustang per litre of water and using a brush or knapsack, liberally apply to freshly cut stumps as close as possible to the ground. Weeds controlled include gorse and barberry.
Stem injection: Mix 20g of Mustang per litre of water and inject 2 ml of solution into holes or cuts made at 10 cm intervals around the stem of the tree. Weeds controlled include poplars, willows, privet and pines. Control of large willow trees may be variable.
Forestry prior to planting Pinus radiata: Use only as a pre-plant treatment not less than 2 months prior to planting.
MIXING: Fill the clean spray tank with half the amount of clean water. Premix Mustang in a small quantity of water as required and then add to the half full spray tank before adding the remaining water. If penetrant/surfactant is required, add this last to the full spray tank to minimise foaming.
COMPATIBILITY: Mustang is compatible with commonly used herbicides
CLEANING APPLICATION EQUIPMENT: To avoid damage to subsequent crops, immediately remove all traces of product from the mixing and spray equipment by the following procedure:
• Drain tank and flush the entire system including booms and hoses for at least 10 minutes with clean water and empty.
• Fill the tank with clean water an add sodium hypochlorite (3% chlorine bleach) at 1 litre per 100 litres water. Flush the entire system with active agitation, then drain.
• Repeat previous step.
• Remove nozzles and screens and clean separately. Finally, rinse the system again with clean water to remove chlorine bleach residues.
