GENERAL INFORMATION
CALLISTO 480SC is a suspension concentrate herbicide that provides selective control ofannual broadleaf weeds in corn. This herbicide has a high level of crop safety to
allow for flexibility in application timing in corn. This herbicide may be applied at pre emergent and early and late post-emergence to control a wide range of broadleaf weeds in corn. It may be tank mixed with a range of herbicides as part of a one pass broad-spectrum weed control program in corn. In post-emergent applications, it is absorbed through the leaves and is rapidly translocated to the plant's growing points. It may also be tank mixed with a post-emergent grass herbicide for broader spectrum post-emergent weed control in corn.
MIXING AND SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS:
DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm or when winds are gusty.
APPLICATION IN LIQUID FERTILIZERS:
Nitrogen solutions , excluding suspension fertilizers, may replace water as a carrier for pre-emergence application in corn. Do not use nitrogen solutions as a carrier to corn that has emerged. Constant agitation is necessary to maintain a uniform mixture during application.
Spray Nozzles:
Flat Fan with 50 mesh or larger screens. For uniform coverage and increased penetration of the crop canopy, set the nozzles at a downward angle of 90 degrees (90°).
Surfactant:
Postemergent applications of CALLISTO 480SC herbicide must be applied with the non-ionic surfactant AGRAL 90 at 0.2% v/v (2.0 L for each 1000 L of spray mixture).
Mixing Procedure:
1. Ensure that the sprayer is totally clean.
2. Fill the sprayer half full with water. Engage gentle agitation.
3. Ensure that the agitation system is working properly and that it creates a rippling or rolling action on the water surface.
4. If required, add Ultim or Accent slowly and agitate until completely dispersed.
5. Add CALLISTO 480SC herbicide and PRIMEXTRA II Magnum or AATREX Liquid 480 herbicide (if an applicable tank-mix) slowly and agitate until completely dispersed. To ensure complete dispersion, wait 2 or 3 minutes after the last of the herbicide has been added to the tank.
6. Fill the tank to three quarters full with water.
7. Add DUAL II Magnum if required.
8. Add Roundup Original, Roundup Transorb, Glyfos, Credit, Vantage, Vantage Plus, or Renegade if required. Refer to the label of the tank mix partner and the surfactant for the specific mixing instructions.
9. Add the non-ionic surfactant if applicable (e.g., AGRAL 90) at 0.2% v/v.
10. Continue agitation while completing the filling of the sprayer with water.
11. Always ensure that agitation is maintained until spraying is completed, even if stopped for brief periods of time.
12. If agitation is stopped for more than 5 minutes, re-suspend the spray solution by running on full agitation prior to spraying. CALLISTO 480SC herbicide must be sprayed the same day as mixing.
13. Do not mix, load or clean spray equipment where there is a potential to contaminate wells or aquatic systems.
SPRAYER CLEANUP:
To avoid subsequent injury to other crops, thoroughly clean application equipment immediately after spraying. Ensure that all traces of the product are removed. The following procedures are recommended:
1. Drain and flush tank, boom and all hoses for several minutes with clean water containing a household detergent. Do not clean the sprayer near desirable vegetation, wells or other water sources.
2. Fill the sprayer tank with clean water and add one litre of household ammonia per 100 litres of water. Allow the solution to agitate for 15 minutes prior to flushing the solution through the boom and nozzles. Drain the system.
3. Remove the nozzles and screens and wash separately in a bucket containing the ammonia solution.
4. Thoroughly rinse the tank, hoses, booms, nozzles and screens with clean water for a minimum of 5 minutes to remove all traces of ammonia.
5. Dispose of all rinsings in accordance with provincial regulations.
