NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION WITHHOLDING PERIOD: DO NOT GRAZE TREATED TURF/LAWN OR FEED TURF/LAWN CLIPPINGS FROM ANY TREATED AREA TO POULTRY OR LIVESTOCK GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS BARRICADE is a selective pre-emergent herbicide that provides residual control of grass weeds in established turf. BARRICADE controls susceptible weeds by preventing growth and development of newly germinated weeds. BARRICADE is safe to use on established turf species listed in the Directions for Use. In the case of Bahia Grass, BARRICADE will be safe to use on existing turf swards where established Bahia Grass plants can be tolerated or are desirable. BARRICADE will only control newly germinating seed of Bahia Grass after it has been sprayed. Weed control is most effective when BARRICADE is activated by at least 6 mm of rainfall or irrigation before weed seeds germinate and within 7 days after application. Mixing Add the required quantity of BARRICADE directly to a spray tank containing 2/3 of the required spray volume. Add the rest of the water and ensure the mix is thoroughly agitated before application. Monument Liquid Tank Mix Add Monument Liquid and non-ionic surfactant after BARRICADE, then add the rest of the water and ensure the mix is thoroughly agitated before application. Refer to Monument Liquid label for specific mixing instructions. Application

11 DO NOT apply with aircraft or through any type of irrigation equipment. Apply prior to weed emergence in early spring (summer weeds) or late summer to early autumn (Poa annua). Ensure product placement as close to soil surface as possible. Total application volume should not be lower than 500 L/ha. Use extremely coarse droplets [Turbo FloodJet * (TF5) or TurfJet * (TTJ10)], use strainers with no less than a 50-mesh rating. Wash in with at least 6 mm rain or irrigation within 7 days of application. Spray nozzles should be uniformly spaced and of the same size, and should provide accurate and uniform application. To ensure accuracy, calibrate sprayer at the beginning of the season before use and recalibrate frequently. Apply at a volume of greater than 500 L water/ha. Observe sprayer nozzles frequently during the spraying operation to ensure that the spray pattern is uniform. Avoid overlapping of spray runs. Ensure that boom height for broadcast application does not exceed 50 cm above the leaf blades of the turf. Avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when spray drift may occur. Monument Liquid Tank Mix Ensure even product placement. Total application volume should be 400 to 800 L/ha. Use coarse droplets [AIXR* (11004 or 10005) or Turbo Teejet* (11004 or 10005)]. Wash in with at least 6 mm rain or irrigation within 7 days after application. Refer to Monument Liquid label for specific application instructions. APVMA Compliance Instructions for Mandatory COARSE or Larger Droplet Size Categories These instructions inform users of this chemical product how to lawfully comply with the requirement of a COARSE or larger spray droplet size category for spray application. Spray droplet size categories are defined in the ASAE S572 Standard (newer name may also be shown as ASABE) or the BCPC guideline. Nozzle manufacturers may refer to one or both to identify droplet size categories, but for a nozzle to comply with this requirement, the manufacturer must refer to at least one. Complying with the label requirement to use a specific droplet size category means using the correct nozzle that will deliver that droplet size category under the spray operation conditions being used. The APVMA has approved only the following specific methods for choosing the correct nozzle. Use one of the methods specified in these instructions to select a correct nozzle to deliver a COARSE or larger droplet size category. Mandatory instructions for ground applications for COARSE droplet size or larger categories USE ONLY nozzles that the nozzles manufacturer has rated to deliver a COARSE, a VERY COARSE or an EXTREMELY COARSE droplet size category as referenced to ASAE S572 or BCPC. Choose a nozzle specified to provide the droplet size required in the label Spray Drift Restraints. DO NOT use a higher spray system pressure than the maximum the manufacturer specifies for the selected nozzle to deliver the droplet size category required in the label Spray Drift Restraint. Compatibility As formulations of other manufacturers products are beyond the control of Syngenta, and water quality varies with location, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities. BARRICADE is compatible with Monument Liquid. Clean up After tank mixing with Monument Liquid refer to the Monument Liquid label for spray tank cleaning instructions. Replanting interval DO NOT replant any crop, ornamentals or overseed with cool season grasses for winter cover to treated areas for a period of 6 months after application. Herbicide Resistance Warning GROUP D HERBICIDE BARRICADE Turf herbicide is a member of the dinitroaniline group of herbicides and has the tubulin formation inhibitor mode of action. For weed resistance management this product is a Group D herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to BARRICADE and other Group D 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 BARRICADE or other Group D herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Syngenta Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of BARRICADE to control the resistant weeds. Advice as to strategies and alternative treatments that can be used should be obtained from your local supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, Primary Industries Department or a Syngenta representative.

12 Integrated Pest Management The possible effects of BARRICADE on integrated pest management (IPM) strategies in the turf industry have not been studied at the proposed rates. However, based on available information, it cannot be ruled out that BARRICADE may have an adverse effect on non-target beneficial turfgrass invertebrates where such IPM is practised. PRECAUTION Re-entry Period Professional Operators DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until spray has dried, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day's use. Public DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until spray has dried. PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures. Avoid applications to areas where product may accumulate under the drip line of trees or where product may come into contact with roots of desirable plants. PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Very toxic to aquatic life. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. DO NOT apply if heavy rain has been forecast within 48 hours. DO NOT apply to waterlogged soil. DO NOT irrigate to the point of run-off within 3 days of application. DO NOT apply to turf which is not well established. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Triple rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and deliver empty packaging to an approved waste management facility. DO NOT burn empty containers or product. SAFETY DIRECTIONS May irritate the eyes and skin. Repeated exposure may cause allergic disorders. Sensitive workers should use protective clothing. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. When opening the container, preparing spray and using prepared spray wear: cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) elbow-length chemical resistant gloves If product on skin, immediately wash area with soap and water.
