It is highl y mobile in the phloem and readily taken in by the roots, shoots and foliage but is normally foliage applied. CUTLASS works by disrupting several growth processes including cell division, cell elongation and protein synthesis which typically cause leaf cu pping and curling afte r which the plant slowly dies. At normal use rates it is most active on broadleaf plants but cereals and other grasses can be affected, especially if applied during seedhead formation. Half life in the soil is about 14 days, but lon ger under conditions of low rainfall or low soil moisture. Breakdown is primarily due to volatilisation losses and microbial degradation. CUTLASS is highly mobile in soils, especially on sandy soils but leaching potential is low to medium due to rapid deg radation. DIRECTIONS FOR USE: TANK MIXING : CUTLASS is active against many broadleaf weeds and is particularly useful for tank mixing to assist the activity of phenoxy herbicides such as ADAMA MCPA 750 Amine and ADAMA 2,4 - D Ester . CUTLASS can be mixed wi th POLARIS ® for the control of white clover.

Apply as an overall spray when the maize is 10 - 30cm in height. For larger weeds use the higher rate. On short relative maturity hybrids (100 days or less) use the lower rate and apply at the earlier growth stage. For small maize and weeds, p osition boom height relative to the ground. As maize and weeds grow, raise boom height to adjust for maize height. Avoid positioning nozzles directly over the maize whorl. Marrow - stemmed kale (choumollier) Thousand headed kale 280 - 34 0mL/H a in 200 litres water Spray when crop is at the 4 - 6 the leaf stage when weeds are small and actively growing. Oil seed rape 200 - 280mL/H a in 200 - 300 litres water Critical comments : Spray when crop is at the 4 - 6 true leaf stage when weeds are small and act ively growing. Do not exceed the higher rate and do not spray crops in stressed growth conditions. Pasture Californian thistle 100mL CUTLASS + 250 mL of ADAMA MCPA 750 per 100 L/water Critical comments : For the control of Californian thistle, apply as a spot spray just prior to flowering. See NOTE.1 Ragwort 120 - 140 mL CUTLASS + 660mL of ADAMA 2,4 - D Ester per 100 L/water Critical comments : For ragwort control, apply as a spot spray. Avoid spraying surrounding pasture. Even repeated applications m ay not control regrowth ragwort, which is often characterised by multi - crowns. Waste areas 80 – 120 mL CUTLASS + 330mL of ADAMA 2,4 - D Ester per 100 L/water Critical comments : Apply as a wetting spray in spring or autumn. Add POLARIS 360, POLARIS 450, POLARIS A CCELERTATE or an amitrole 400g/L product to the mixture for grass weed control. Add SIMANEX ® for long term control. CAUTION: Do not plant legume crops (peas, lucerne, clover, lupins) within 28 days of using CUTLASS . CUTLASS injures clover and re - establishment of clover in pasture may be difficult for up to 2 months after spraying. DO NOT spray CUTLASS on cereals undersown with lucerne or white clover. IMPORTANT NOTE: Poisonous plants may become more palatable after spraying. Stock should be kept away from the area until plants have died down. DO NOT graze treated areas, feed crops or threshings to livestock for two weeks after CUTLASS application.

NOTES: Californian thistle : Californian thistle spreads using underground stems, called stolons. Cultivated Situations: For best control the stolon mat should be broken into small fragments using appropriate culti vation equipment. Wait until regrowth from all fragments has emerged before treatment or plan for a second application if emergence is incomplete. The second application may be during post harvest fallow or in a following crop. Non - cultivated situations: Where the root mat cannot be fragmented by cultivation such as in pasture, perennial crops and conservation tillage, plan for a minimum of two applications. For best results always apply CUTLASS just prior to flowering, when flower buds are at the ‘ball bearing’ stage, before the first flower colour can be seen. The first application kills the section of the stolon close to the treated shoot and stimulates regrowth from surviving stolon fragments. The second treatment kills most of these stolons but som etimes a third application is needed for a final cleanup. Greater bindweed (Convolvulus): To control greater bindweed in many shrubs and some flower and vegetable garden situations, mix 1 part of CUTLASS with 20 parts of water and hand - paint onto about 10 individual bindweed leaves on each stem. Alternatively pull the bindweed leaves and stems carefully away from desirable plants and treat using a hand trigger sprayer, avoiding any contact with leaves or stems of desirable plants. Treat very small areas i nitially to determine if the application has any effect on desirable plants. Symptoms may take several weeks to become visible. This treatment method may also control blue morning glory. APPLICATION EQUIPMENT: Apply CUTLASS with conventional boom and spot application equipment. To avoid spray drift, do not use nozzle/pressure combinations that produce fine droplets. Maintain water rates at those recommended.

Where a second chemical is to be tank mixed, always add the CUTLASS to the spray tank first and mix thoroughly before adding the next chemical. DO NOT MIX with ‘fop’ and ‘dim’ wild oat or grass herbicides as wild oat or grass weed con trol may be reduced. Preferably apply the ‘fop’ or ‘dim’ grass herbicide first and CUTLASS at least 7 days later. BEWARE: Injury to or loss of desirable trees or other plants may result from failure to observe the following: DO NOT apply or drain or flush equ ipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas where their roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. Keep from contact with fertilisers, insecticides, fungicides and seeds. A pply this product carefully. Spray drift may cause serious damage to desirable plants.
