2 2 WARNINGS Keep out of reach of children, uninformed persons and animals. May cause eye irritation and is harmful if swallowed or if vapours are breathed for prolonged periods. In case of contact with eyes, flush thoroughly with water. Do not use chlorinated water (tap water) for spraying with RyzUp SmartGrass. Do not apply to grass under pest, nutritional or water stress. This remedy has been extensively tested under a large variety of conditions. The registration holder does not warrant that it will be efficacious under all conditions because the action and effect thereof may be affected by factors such as abnormal climatic, soil and storage conditions, quality of dilution water, as well as by the method, time and accuracy of application. The registration holder furthermore does not accept responsibility for damage to crops, vegetation, the environment or harm to man or animal or for lack of performance of the remedy concerned due to failure of the user to follow the label instructions or to the occurrence of conditions which could not have been foreseen in terms of the registration. Consult the supplier in the event of any uncertainty. PRECAUTIONS Do not inhale spray mist. Wash with soap and water after use. Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid drift of spray onto other crops, rivers and dams. Clean applicator before using with other remedies and dispose of wash water where it will not contaminate crops, grazing, rivers and dams. Rinse empty container three times with a volume of water to at least one tenth of that of the container and add the rinsing to the contents of the spray tank before disposing of the container in the prescribed manner. Destroy empty container and NEVER use for any other purpose. Prevent contamination of food, feeds, drinking water and eating utensils. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Use only as directed. Efficacy is greatly influenced by environmental factors, i.e. water stress and heat waves can have a negative influence. Ideally soil conditions should provide adequate moisture and nutrition for growth after application. SPRAY VOLUME PER HECTARE Apply in sufficient amount of water to ensure thorough coverage of all leaves without excessive runoff. Use calibrated spray equipment to ensure uniform coverage. In many cases, spray volumes of L/ha have been shown to be adequate. TIME OF APPLICATION 1. RyzUp SmartGrass should be applied to pastures 1 to 5 days following grazing. There must be some green leaf present for uptake. Apply when wind conditions will not cause excessive spray drift. 2. Apply in the early morning or evening when conditions are best for slow drying (cooler temperature and higher humidity), in order to ensure adequate absorption of the product. If applied in the morning, assure that the leaves are not too wet from dew.

3 3 3. Delay applying of RyzUp SmartGrass after rain until leaves are free of surface droplets. Application should be made only when a 6-hour rain free period is expected. If rain falls within 6 hours of application reduced response should be anticipated. Do not re-spray in the event of rain falling within 6 hours of application. COMPATIBILITY DO NOT apply with other agricultural chemicals. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS Do not pre-mix RyzUp SmartGrass. Half-filled a clean spray tank with clean water and engage the agitator. Add the required amount of RyzUp SmartGrass. Continue to agitate while bringing the total volume of water to the required level. RyzUp SmartGrass performs best at water ph between 5 and 7; do not exceed ph of 8.5. Use the RyzUp SmartGrass spray solution within 24 hours of mixing. GRAZING MANAGEMENT RyzUp SmartGrass is particularly suited from late autumn to early spring when pasture growth is insufficient due to cool temperatures. RyzUp SmartGrass should be applied when pastures are ready to be rested following removal of animals, 1 to 5 days after grazing. Do not apply RyzUp SmartGrass to pastures or paddocks containing livestock. The response of ungrazed or rank pasture will be minimal, and these pastures should be grazed prior to application. Applications made more than 5 days after grazing will likely result in lower growth response. Moisture levels and fertility must be adequate for grass growth prior to application. Growth stimulation is usually seen within 7 days after application and ceases around 3-4 weeks after application. Stock should be kept off the treated pasture for 3-4 weeks in order to maximize the pasture production/growth. RyzUp SmartGrass application under optimum growth conditions may not provide a significant increase in dry matter production. Note:RyzUp SmartGrass stimulated pastures grow rapidly and the colour of the pasture typically changes from dark green to greeny-yellow. Colour and nutrient levels are typically restored after 3-4 weeks growth. RyzUp SmartGrass application to pastures containing high populations of weeds that may cause milk taint should be avoided.

4 4 RECOMMENDATIONS: Crop / Objective Ryegrass To stimulate dry matter production when cool soil temperatures limit natural pasture growth RyzUp SmartGrass per 100 L of water 20 g Critical comments Apply to well established ryegrass-based pastures 1 to 5 days after grazing. Apply using a sprayer equipped with nozzles designed for good coverage of foliage. Apply in a minimum volume of 100 L water/ha. One or more applications can be made every 3-4 weeks, from late autumn (when soil temperatures decrease) to early spring (when soil temperatures increase). Don t exceed 6 applications per hectare per year. Don t apply when there is insufficient soil moisture to support rapid plant growth. Soil fertilizer levels must be sufficient to allow for the increase in pasture production. The addition of nitrogen-based fertilizer, such as urea may give added pasture growth. NOTES 1. Do not tank mix RyzUp SmartGrass with herbicides, insecticides, fungicides or plant nutrients. 2. Use properly calibrated spray equipment that ensures uniform and complete coverage of all leaves. 3. Vegetative growth response of ryegrass after a RyzUp SmartGrass application is dependent on many interacting variables such as timing & rate of application, cultivar, soil type, nutrition status and environmental conditions. Local knowledge is essential if the desired result is to be attained. 4. Seek expert advice before using RyzUp SmartGrass for the first time on rye grass. Please consult your technical advisor or Valent BioSciences representative.

5 5 WAARSKUWINGS Hou buite bereik van kinders, oningeligte persone en diere. Kan oogirritasie veroorsaak. Is skadelik indien ingesluk word of indien dampe vir lang periodes ingeasem word. In die geval van kontak met oë spoel deeglik uit met skoon water. Moenie gechlorineerde water (kraanwater) vir RyzUp SmartGrass bespuiting gebruik nie. Alhoewel hierdie middel omvattend onder 'n groot verskeidenheid toestande getoets is waarborg die registrasiehouer nie dat dit onder alle toestande doeltreffend sal wees nie, aangesien die werking en effek daarvan beïnvloed kan word deur faktore soos abnormale klimaats-en bergingstoestande, kwaliteit van verdunningswater, sowel as die metode, tyd en akkuraatheid van toediening. Verder aanvaar die registrasiehouer nie verantwoordelikheid vir skade aan gewasse, plantegroei, die omgewing of vir nadelige effek op mens of dier of vir 'n gebrek aan prestasie van die betrokke middel as gevolg van die versuim van die gebruiker om etiketaanwysings na te kom of as gevolg van die ontstaan van toestande wat nie kragtens die registrasie voorsien kon word nie. Raadpleeg die verskaffer in die geval van enige onsekerheid. VOORSORGMAATREëLS Moenie spuitnewel inasem nie. Was met seep en water na gebruik. Bêre in n koel droë plek. Verhoed wegdrywing van spuitstof na ander gewasse, weiding, riviere en damme. Maak toerusting skoon voordat dit vir ander chemikalieë gebruik word en gooi waswater weg waar dit nie gewasse, weiding, riviere en damme sal besoedel nie. Spoel leë houer drie keer uit met n volume water wat ten minste gelykstaande is aan een tiende van die inhoud van die houer. Gooi die spoelwater by die inhoud van die spuittenk voordat die houer in die voorgeskrewe wyse vernietig word. Vernietig leë houer en moet NOOIT vir enige ander doel gebruik nie. Voorkom besoedeling van voedsel, voer, drinkwater en eetgerei. GEBRUIKSAANWYSINGS Gebruik slegs soos aangedui. Produkwerking word baie beïnvloed deur omgewingstoestande, bv. vogspanning en hittegolwe kan n negatiewe uitwerking hê. Die geskikste sou wees dat grondtoestande by veldkapasitiet is tydens toediening. SPUITVOLUME PER HEKTAAR Dien toe in genoegsame hoeveelheid water om goeie bedekking te verseker sonder oormatige afloop. Gebruik gekalibreerde spuittoerusting om uniforme bedekking te verseker. In baie gevalle, sal n spuitvolume van L/ha voldoende wees. TYD VAN TOEDIENING 1. Dien RyzUp SmartGrass toe 1 tot 5 dae na beweiding. Nuwe blaargroei moet teenwoordig wees vir voldoende opname. Dien toe wanneer windtoestande nie oormatige wegdryf van spuitnewel tot gevolg sal hê nie. 2. Dien RyzUp SmartGrass vroeg in die oggend of in die aand toe, wanneer stadig drogende kondisies optimaal is (koel temperature en hoë humiditeit), om sodoende maksimum opname van die produk te verkry. As RyzUp SmartGrass in die oggend toegedien word, maak seker dat die blare nie te nat is van dou nie.

6 6 3. Vertraag die toediening van RyzUp SmartGrass na reën totdat daar nie meer waterdruppels op die blare aanwesig is nie. Toediening moet slegs geskied wanneer reën nie binne 6 uur na toediening verwag word nie. Indien dit sou reën binne 6 uur na toediening, moet 'n swakker resultaat verwag word. Moenie oorspuit indien reën binne 6 uur van toediening val nie. VERENIGBAARHEID Moenie RyzUp SmartGrass saam met ander landbou-chemikalieë toedien nie. MENGINSTRUKSIES Moenie RyzUp SmartGrass vooraf meng nie. Vul skoon spuittenk half met skoon water en skakel die roerstelsel aan. Voeg die verlangde hoeveelheid RyzUp SmartGrass by. Hou aan roer terwyl die tenk met water gevul is tot by die verlangde merk. Die produk is die mees effektiefste by n water ph tussen 5 en 7, moenie n ph van 8.5 oorskry nie. 'n RyzUp SmartGrass mengsel moet binne 24 uur na vermenging toegedien word. WEIDINGSBESTUUR Die mees geskikte periode vir RyzUp SmartGrass toediening is vanaf laat herfs tot vroeë lente, wanneer natuurlike weidingsgroei onvoldoende is om te voorsien aan die voedingsbehoefte. Dien RyzUp SmartGrass toe 1 tot 5 dae na beweiding. Moenie RyzUp SmartGrass toedien op ongeweide kampe of kampe met diere nie. Die reaksie op ongeweide gras sal minimaal wees. Weidings moet eers bewei word alvorens RyzUp SmartGrass toegedien word. Indien RyzUp SmartGrass langer as 5 dae na beweiding toegedien word, sal dit heel waarskynlik `n swakker groei respons tot gevolg hê. Die voginhoud en voedingstatus van die grond moet optimaal wees vir vegetatiewe groei, alvorens RyzUp SmartGrass toegedien word. Stimulasie van vegetatiewe groei is normaalweg sigbaar binne 7 dae na toediening, en duur voort vir 3-4 weke, waarna nuwe groei redelik afplat. Weerhou vee vanaf die behandelde weiding vir 3-4 weke, om maksimum droë materiaal produksie te bewerkstellig. RyzUp SmartGrass toedienings tydens optimale groei kondisies van weidings sal nie noodwendig `n betekenisvolle toename in droë materiaal produksie tot gevolg hê nie. Nota: RyzUp SmartGrass behandelde weiding toon versnelde vegetatiewe groei, en die kleur van die weiding kan tipies verander van donkergroen na groen-geel. Die kleur en voedingsvlakke van die weiding keer terug na normaal na 3-4 weke se groei. Oormatige gebruik van RyzUp SmartGrass, teen hoër as die aanbevole dosis, kan veroorsaak dat die aanvanklike nuwe groei geel-wit vertoon, en word nie aanbeveel nie. Die toediening van RyzUp SmartGrass op weiding wat `n hoë populasie onkruid bevat wat kan lei tot melk besmetting, word nie aanbeveel nie.

7 7 AANBEVELINGS: Gewas / Doelstelling Winter raaigras Stimuleer droë materiaal produksie wanneer koel grond temperature natuurlike weiding groei beperk RyzUp Opmerkings SmartGrass per 100 L water 20 g Dien toe op goed gevestigde raaigras dominerende weiding 1 tot 5 dae na beweiding. Dien toe deur middel van `n balk spuit. Dien toe teen `n minimum watervolume van 100 L/ha. Een of meer toedienings kan gemaak word elke 3-4 weke, van laat herfs (wanneer grondtemperature daal) tot vroeë lente (wanneer grondtemperature styg). Moenie 6 toedienings per hektaar per jaar oorskrei nie. Moenie toedien indien daar nie voldoende grondvog teenwoordig is om die versnelde plant groei te ondersteun nie. Grond voedingstatus moet optimaal wees om die verhoogde droë materiaal produksie te ondersteun. Die toevoeging van stikstof, soos ureum, kan lei tot addisionele groei van weidings. NOTAS 1. Moenie RyzUp SmartGrass meng met onkruiddoders, plaagbeheermiddels of blaarvoedingsmiddels nie. 2. Maak gebruik van korrek gekalibreerde spuittoerusting wat 'n uniforme en volledige bedekking van alle blare sal verseker. 3. Die stimulering van vegetatiewe groei van raaigras na n RyzUp SmartGrass toediening is afhanklik van die interaksie van verskeie faktore, soos die tyd en dosis van toediening, kultivar, voedingsstatus, grondtipe en omgewingstoestande. Plaaslike kennis van bogenoemde faktore is noodsaaklik indien die verlangde resultate verkry wil word. 4. Verkry deskundige advies voordat RyzUp SmartGrass vir die eerste keer op raaigras toegedien word. Raadpleeg u tegniese adviseur of Valent BioSciences verteenwoordiger.
