Onkruiddoder WAARSKUWINGS: Veroorsaak ernstige oog skade. Giftig indien ingesluk. Baie giftig vir waterlewe met langdurige uitwerking. Berg in 'n koel, droë plek, weg van voedsel en voer. Hou buite bereik van kinders, oningeligte persone en diere. Herbetreding - Moenie behandelde gebied binnegaan alvorens die spuitneerslag droog is nie, tensy beskermende oorklere gedra word. Alhoewel Cossack op die meeste belangrike kultivars getoets is, met geen betekenisvolle simptome van fitotoksisiteit in die vorm van oesverlagings, onder normale groeitoestande nie, beteken dit nie dat 'n meer vatbare kultivar nie in die toekoms gekommersialiseer kan word nie. Waar 'n nuwe kultivar teëgekom word, moet groot areas nie behandel word voordat Cossack op daardie kultivar getoets is nie.

RAADPLEEG DIE VERSKAFFER IN DIE GEVAL VAN ENIGE ONSEKERHEID. VOORSORGMAATREËLS: Moenie die dampe of sproeinewel inasem nie en vermy kontak met die oë. Dra 'n gesigskerm wanneer die produk hanteer of toegedien word. In geval van oogkontak spoel onmiddellik met voldoende skoon water vir minstens 15 minute. Moenie eet, drink of rook tydens vermenging of toediening of voordat hande en gesig gewas en skoon klere aangetrek is nie. Was met seep en koue water na toevallige velkontak. Verhoed wegdrywing van die sproeinewel na ander gewasse, weidings, riviere, damme of ander gebiede wat nie behandel word nie. Verhoed besoedeling van voedsel, eetgerei, voer en drinkwater. Moenie meer as eenmaal per groeiseisoen op dieselfde land toedien nie. Maak alle apparaat deeglik skoon na gebruik en moenie die omgewing met spoelwater besoedel nie. Maak spuitapparaat deeglik skoon voor hergebruik d.m.v. die volgende metode: 1. Dreineer tenk. Spoel tenk, spuitbalk en pype met skoon water uit en dreineer weer 'n keer. 2. Vul tenk met skoon water en voeg huishoudelike ammoniak (bevat 3 % aktief) by teen 'n konsentrasie van 1 %. Sirkuleer die ammoniakoplossing deur die tenk, spuitbalk en pype vir minstens 15 minute. Dreineer heeltemal. 3. Om ammoniak oorblyfsels te verwyder spoel die tenk, pype en spuitbalk met skoon water uit en dreineer. 4. Spuitkoppe en filtreerders moet verwyder word en apart skoongemaak word met 'n ammoniakoplossing van dieselfde konsentrasie soos hierbo. 5. Enige kontaminasie aan die buitekante van die spuittoerusting moet verwyder word deur dit met skoon water af te was. Sodra die houer leeg is spoel dit driekeer uit met 'n volume water gelyk aan minstens een tiende van die houer en gooi die spoelwater by die inhoud van die spuittenk. Vernietig die houer deur gate daarin te maak en te begrawe of te verbrand. Moenie die houer vir enige ander doel gebruik nie. WEERSTANDSWAARSKUWING: Cossack behoort aan die sulfoniel ureum groep van onkruiddoders. Die primêre metode van werking van hierdie groep is die inhibering van die "acetolactate synthase" (ALS) ensiem en as sulks word dit deur HRAC as 'n Groepkode B onkruiddoder geklassifiseer. Sommige biotipe onkruide wat natuurlik voorkom, en weerstand bied teen Cossack en ander ALS inhiberende onkruiddoders, mag bestaan a.g.v. normale genetiese verskille in enige onkruidpopulasie. Die weerstandbiedende individue kan uiteindelik die hele onkruidpopulasie domineer as bogenoemde onkruiddoders herhaaldelik gebruik word. Hierdie weerstandbiedende onkruide sal nie deur Cossack beheer word nie en dit is onwaarskynlik dat dit deur enige van die ander ALS inhiberende onkruiddoders beheer sal word. Aangesien die voorkoms van weerstandbiedende onkruide moeilik is om te bepaal voor onkruiddodertoediening plaasvind, is dit uiters noodsaaklik dat behandelde gebiede met gereelde intervalle ondersoek word om weerstand vroegtydig te identifiseer. Bayer (Edms) Bpk. sal nie verantwoordelikheid aanvaar vir enige gebrek aan prestasie in die geval van die opbou van weerstand in die onkruidpopulasie as gevolg van onvoldoende onkruidbestandheidsbestuur soos aangedui op die etiket nie. Om die seleksie van weerstandbiedende onkruide te vertraag: Moet alle metodes van grondbewerking en ander meganiese beheermetodes (insluitende nie-selektiewe onkruiddoders gedurende die braak/onbewerkte periode) in die onkruidbeheerprogram ingesluit word wanneer prakties moontlik. Aanhoudende gebruik van onkruiddoders met dieselfde metode van werking, moet vermy word. Wissel af met produkte van ander onkruiddodergroepkodes. Monitor altyd die effektiwiteit van die onkruiddoder kort na bespuiting. Hou rekord van onkruiddoder gebruik vir elk van die lande. Vir spesifieke inligting oor weerstandsbestuur, kontak u naaste Bayer CropScience verteenwoordiger. GEBRUIKSAANWYSINGS: GEBRUIK SLEGS SOOS AANGEDUI VERENIGBAARHEID: Verenigbaarheidstudies is in koring gedoen met Cossack in kombinasie met die bymiddel en EEN van die middels soos hieronder gelys (tensy anders aangedui op hierdie etiket):
Onkruiddoder AANGESIEN VARIASIES MAG VOORKOM TUSSEN FORMULASIES VAN PRODUKTE WAT DIESELFDE AKTIEWE BESTANDDELE BEVAT, WORD DIE HANDELSNAME EN REGISTRASIENOMMERS VAN DIE GETOETSTE PRODUKTE HIERBY AANGEDUI. MOENIE COSSACK MET ENIGE ANDER PRODUKTE VERMENG NIE. Met Swamdoders: Moenie Cossack met swamdoders vermeng nie. Met Onkruiddoders: Cossack is verenigbaar met Buctril-DS (Reg. Nr. L3350), Brominal Super (Reg. Nr. L5168), Bentrol Super (Reg. Nr. L5167) en Pardner Super (Reg. Nr. L7280). Met Bymiddels: Cossack is verenigbaar met Ballista (Reg. Nr. L7442). MENGINSTRUKSIES: Meng die benodigde hoeveelheid Cossack vooraf met 'n klein hoeveelheid water totdat die middel ten volle gedispergeer het. Maak die spuittenk halfvol met skoon water en voeg die vooraf vermengde Cossack konsentraat deur 'n sif in die tenk. Indien 'n tenkmengsel met 'n insekdoder verlang word, moet dit na die Cossack in die tenk gevoeg word, terwyl roering steeds plaasvind en die tenk volgemaak word tot die verlangde vlak. Verseker dat deeglike roering van die spuitmengsel ten alle tye volgehou word. Berei slegs genoeg spuitmengsel voor vir onmiddellike gebruik. Moenie die spuitmengsel lang tydperke bv., oornag ongeroerd laat staan nie. TOEDIENING: Cossack moet as 'n na-opkom behandeling van beide die gewas en die onkruid toegedien word soos aangedui. Dien toe deur middel van 'n trekker gemonteerde balkspuit wat korrek gekalibreer is om minstens 150-300 spuitmengsel per hektaar teen 'n konstante spoed en druk toe te dien en wat 'n goeie en eweredige bedekking sal verseker Die effektiwiteit van Cossack is geëvalueer met sekere kousbalkspuite. Aanvaarbare beheer van onkruide (soos aangedui) was verkry met hierdie toedienings teen watervolumes van minstens 75 /ha.

S I E N O O K BELANGRIKE NOTAS BELANGRIKE NOTAS: (SIEN OOK WEERSTANDSWAARSKUWING) A. ONKRUIDBEHEER 1. Cossack is die effektiefste wanneer humiditeit hoog is en toestande gunstig is vir groei van beide die gewas en die onkruid. 2. Onkruide moenie groter wees as wat aangedui word in die onkruidtabelle hieronder nie. 3. 'n Digte onkruidstand verhinder druppelpenetrasie wat lei tot onvoldoende bedekking en moontlike swak beheer. 4. Hoë onkruidpopulasies onderdruk die ontkieming van saad, wat neig om op te kom nadat die teikenonkruide beheer is. 5. Cossack het 'n beperkte residuele effek op ontkiemende onkruide. Dit word beïnvloed deur faktore soos onkruidspesie, grond ph en grondvog. Onkruide wat na toediening ontkiem, sal swak beheer word. 6. Waar die gewas 'n digte blaarbedekking ontwikkel het, is penetrasie tot by die onkruide swak, wat swak beheer sal meebring. 7. Onvoldoende of wisselvallige onkruidbeheer en / of onkruid hergroei mag voorkom indien Cossack onder een of meer van die volgende toestande toegedien word: Ligte, sanderige gronde wat geneig is om te loog of te versuip. Gronde met 'n lae ph (suurgronde). Bespuiting later as vier weke na opkom van die onkruide. Bespuiting op onkruide teenwoordig voor-saai maar wat nie deur voor-saai bewerkings of nie-selektiewe onkruiddodertoedienings gedood is nie. Indien onkruide in digte populasies gekonsentreer is in windrye wat deur die stroper gelaat is. Indien die gewasdigtheid laag is, is die mate van onderdrukking wat die gewas op die onkruid uitoefen, ook laer. Indien onkruide tydens toediening onder stremming verkeer as gevolg van swak groeitoestande soos byvoorbeeld : onvoldoende grondvog (droogte), uitermate hoë onkruidpopulasies, hittestremming, koue, brakheid of buitensporige vogstremming of waar lande in 'n versuiptoestand is, hittestremming, koue, brakheid of buitensporige vogstremming of waar lande in 'n versuiptoestand is, beskadiging deur insekte of enige ander oorsaak wat opneem van die middel negatief kan beïnvloed, moontlike stremming veroorsaak deur die vroeëre toediening van 'n ander landboumiddel
Onkruiddoder 8. Dit kan verwag word dat die onkruide binne vyf weke na bespuiting sal afsterf, met definitiewe simptome beginnende 2-3 weke na bespuiting. Ooreenkomstig die weerstandbeheerstrategie moet die Cossack verbruiker die RESULTATE ONGEVEER DRIE WEKE NA BEHANDELING ONDERSOEK. Teen dié tyd sal dit heeltemal duidelik wees hoe suksesvol die onkruidbeheer is, want dooie en sterwende grasse en breëblaaronkruide sal nog teenwoordig wees. 9. Dit is nie bekend of Cossack die ontkieming van Inula graveolens (Kaapse kakiebos / Kamfer-inula) stimuleer of nie. B. GEWASVEILIGHEID 1. Tydelike vergeling en effense groeivertraging mag voorkom op koring onder normale groeistoestande. Hierdie simptome sal vererger met oordosering en daarom moet oorvleueling van spuitbane vermy word. Om oordosering te verhoed moet spuitneuse toegemaak word wanneer die trekker stilstaan of stadiger beweeg as die snelheid waarteen dit gekalibreer was. 2. Indien die gewas onder stremming verkeer tydens toediening (bv. onvoldoende grondvog, koue, versuipingstoestande, onvoldoende plantdiepte, of enige ander faktor wat normale groei verhoed) en hierdie toestand duur voort na toediening, mag die simptome beskryf onder Nota B1 hierbo voortduur en opbrengs nadelig beïnvloed word. 3. Moenie Cossack toedien op koring kleiner as die 4-blaarstadium nie. 4. Verseker dat saad tot 'n minimum diepte van 20 mm geïnkorporeer was indien Cossack gebruik gaan word. C. ANDER GEWASSE 1. Moenie Cossack op koring toedien wat met peulgewasse ondergesaai is nie. Cossack kan wel gebruik word op koring wat in 'n kort wisselboustelsel met medics is. 2. Die oorwaai van Cossack spuitnewel na aangrensende gewasse, anders as koring of korog, kan ernstige skade aan die nie-teiken gewas aanrig. Elke moontlike maatreël moet aangewend word om te verhoed dat spuitnewel aangrensende gewasse bereik. 3. OPVOLGGEWASSE EN WISSELBOU: Die volgende opvolggewas-intervalle is geldig slegs indien Cossack, EEN KEER per seisoen toegedien is op gronde met 'n ph van minder as 7,0 (KCI) en die gebied 'n gemiddelde of bogemiddelde reënval gedurende die seisoen en ook in die opvolgseisoen, ontvang het: Canola, verboude klawer of medics, lupiene (bitter en soet), lusern, koring, gars, hawer, ertjies of korog kan in die seisoen na die Cossack behandeling gesaai word (wagperiode van 9 maande). Die wagperiode vir alle ander gewasse is onbekend. Cossack toegedien op baie sanderige grond of grond met ph vlakke wat 7 (KCI) oorskry of vry kalk bevat, mag 'n langer residuele uitwerking hê op opvolggewasse. D. GROND, WATER & KLIMAAT 1. Twee (2) ure word benodig vir opname van die chemikalieë voor dit begin reën. 2. Gebruik goeie kwaliteit water. Water met 'n geleibaarheid wat 1,0 ms/cm³ oorskry, of met 'n weerstand van minder as 300 ohm en /of 'n ph hoër as 8, behoort vermy te word. 3. Moenie Cossack gebruik op gronde wat vry kalk bevat nie, aangesien dit die effektiwiteit sowel as die residuele aktiwiteit van Cossack mag beïnvloed, die herbeplantingsperiode kan verleng en die keuse van wisselbougewasse beperk.

Herbicide WARNINGS: Cause serious eye damage. Poisonous when swallowed. Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Store in a cool, dry place, away from food and feed. Keep out of reach of children, uninformed persons and animals. Re-entry - Do not enter treated area until spray deposit has dried unless wearing protective clothing. Although Cossack has been tested on most important cultivars and no significant phytotoxicity in the form of yield reduction has been recorded under normal growing conditions, this does not mean that a more sensitive cultivar might not be commercialized in the future. Where a new cultivar is encountered, large areas should not be sprayed without prior testing of Cossack on that cultivar. ALTHOUGH THIS REMEDY HAS BEEN 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 SOIL, CLIMATIC AND STORAGE CONDITIONS, QUALITY OF DILUTION WATER, COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER SUBSTANCES NOT INDICATED ON THE LABEL AND THE OCCURRENCE OF RESISTANCE OF THE WEEDS TO THE REMEDY CONCERNED 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 fumes or spray mist and do not allow spray to come into contact with eyes. Wear a face shield when handling or applying the product. In case of eye contact, flush immediately with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes. Do not eat, drink or smoke whilst mixing or applying or before washing hands and face and changing clothes. Wash with soap and cold water after accidental skin contact. Prevent spray drift onto other crops, grazing, rivers, dams or other areas not under treatment. Prevent contamination of food, eating utensils, feed and drinking water. Do not apply more than once per growing season at any given site. Clean all equipment thoroughly after use and do not pollute the environment with wash water. Clean applicator thoroughly before re-using, using the following method: 1. Drain tank completely then flush tank, boom and hoses with clean water. Drain again. 2. Fill the tank with clean water and add household ammonia (containing 3% active) at a concentration of 1%. Circulate the ammonia solution through the tank, boom and hoses for at least 15 minutes. Drain completely. 3. To remove traces of ammonia, rinse the tank, hoses and boom with clean water and drain. 4. Nozzles and filters must be removed and cleaned separately with ammonia solution at the same concentration as above. 5. Any contamination on the outside of the spraying equipment should be washed off with clean water. When empty, rinse the container three times with a volume of water equal to at least one tenth of that of the container and add the rinsings to the contents of the spray tank. Destroy the container by puncturing and burying or burning it. Do not use the container for any other purpose. RESISTANCE WARNING: Cossack is a member of the sulfonylurea group of herbicides. The mode of action of this group is primarily the inhibition of the acetolactate synthase (ALS) enzyme, and as such it is classified by HRAC as a Group Code B herbicide. Certain naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to Cossack and other ALS inhibiting 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 Cossack and are unlikely to be controlled by other herbicides which inhibit the ALS enzyme. Since the presence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to herbicide application, it is of the utmost importance that treated areas be inspected at regular intervals to identify the occurrence of herbicide-resistant weeds timeously. Bayer (Pty) Ltd will not accept liability for performance failures in the event of a build-up of resistant weeds resulting from inadequate resistance management practices as indicated on the label. To delay the selection of resistant weeds: Integrate tillage or other mechanical control methods (including non-selective herbicides during the fallow period or prior to planting) into weed control programmes whenever practical Avoid repeated use of herbicides with the same mode of action. Alternate with products from different herbicide Group Codes. Always monitor the efficacy of the herbicide shortly after herbicide application. Maintain herbicide-use records for each of your fields. For specific information on resistance management contact your local Bayer CropScience representative. DIRECTIONS FOR USE : USE ONLY AS DIRECTED COMPATIBILITY Compatibility studies have been conducted in wheat with Cossack in combination with the adjuvant and ONE of the remedies listed below (unless otherwise specified in this label):
Herbicide AS VARIATIONS MAY EXIST BETWEEN FORMULATIONS OF PRODUCTS CONTAINING THE SAME ACTIVE INGREDIENTS, THE TRADE NAMES AND REGISTRATION NUMBERS OF THE TESTED PRODUCTS ARE SHOWN. DO NOT MIX COSSACK WITH ANY OTHER PRODUCTS. With Fungicides : Do not mix Cossack with fungicides. With Herbicides: Cossack is compatible with Buctril-DS (Reg. No. L3350), Brominal Super (Reg. No. L5168), Bentrol Super (Reg. No. L5167) and Pardner Super (Reg. No. L7280). With Adjuvants: Cossack is compatible with Ballista (Reg. No. L7442). MIXING INSTRUCTIONS : Premix the required amount of Cossack with a small amount of water and stir until thoroughly dispersed. Half fill the spray tank with clean water and add the concentrated pre-mixed Cossack to the tank through a sieve. If a mixture is required with an insecticide, add this after the Cossack while still agitating and topping up with water. Ensure that thorough agitation of the spray mixture is maintained at all times. Prepare only sufficient spray mixture for immediate use. Do not keep spray mixture for long periods, e.g., overnight. APPLICATION : Apply Cossack as a post-emergence spray of both crop and weeds as indicated. Apply by means of a tractor mounted boom sprayer which is correctly calibrated to deliver at least 150-300 spray mixture/ha at a constant speed and pressure resulting in an even and good cover. The efficacy of Cossack has been evaluated with certain sleeve boom sprayers. Acceptable control of weeds (as indicated) was achieved with these applications at water volumes of not less than 75 /ha. APPLICATION TABLE: CROP DOSAGE REMARKS WHEAT Winter Rainfall Region only Weeds listed in WEEDS CONTROLLED tables 250 to 300 g Cossack /ha plus Ballista at 500 m / ha (See Compatibility with Adjuvants). 250 g Cossack plus 375 m Buctril-DS or Bentrol Super or Brominal Super or Pardner Super/ ha plus Ballista at 500 m / ha (See Compatibility with Adjuvants) Apply when the WEEDS are fully emerged and at the optimum size (see WEEDS CONTROLLED tables for optimum application times for individual weeds) and once the crop has reached the four-leaf stage. REFER TO INSTRUCTIONS UNDER "APPLICATION". SEE ALSO "IMPORTANT NOTES IMPORTANT NOTES: (SEE ALSO RESISTANCE WARNING) A. WEED CONTROL 1. Cossack is most effective under high humidity when growing conditions are favourable for both crop and weed growth. 2. Weeds should not be larger than as specified in the weed tables below. 3. A dense weed stand inhibits droplet penetration resulting in inadequate cover and, possibly, poor efficacy. 4. High weed populations tend to suppress the germination of ungerminated seeds, which tend to germinate after the target weeds have been controlled. 5. Cossack has a limited residual effect on germinating weeds. This is affected by factors such as weed species, soil ph and soil moisture. Weeds germinating after application will be poorly controlled. 6. Where a dense crop canopy has developed, penetration to the weeds is poor and poor control of weeds is a consequence. 7. Unsatisfactory or erratic weed control and/or weed regrowth may occur if Cossack is applied under one or more of the following conditions: Light sandy soils that tend to leach or become waterlogged. Soils with a low ph (acid soils). Application later than four weeks after emergence of the weeds Application on weeds present before sowing but not killed by pre-sowing cultivation or non-selective herbicide applications. Where weeds are concentrated in dense populations in wind-rows deposited by the combine. If the crop density is low, negating the additive effect of crop competition on weed control. If the weeds are stressed at the time of application due to poor growing conditions such as: inadequate soil moisture (drought) extremely high weed populations heat stress, cold, saline or excessive moisture stress or where fields are waterlogged insect or any other damage which will have a negative effect on uptake of the chemical possible stress caused by an earlier application of any other agricultural remedy
Herbicide 8. Weeds can be expected to die within five weeks after spraying, with definite symptoms commencing 2 3 weeks after spraying. In line with resistance management strategies, the Cossack user MUST EXAMINE THE RESULTS APPROXIMATELY THREE WEEKS AFTER SPRAYING. By this time it should be absolutely clear how successful weed control has been as dead and dying grass and broadleaf weeds will still be present. 9. It is not known whether or not Cossack stimulates the germination of Inula graveolens (Camphor Inula / Cape khaki weed). B. CROP SAFETY 1. Temporary yellowing and slight stunting may occur in wheat under normal growing conditions. These symptoms increase with overdosing, therefore, avoid overlapping swaths. To prevent over application, close nozzles when the tractor is stationary or moving more slowly than the speed at which it was calibrated. 2. If the crop is stressed at the time of application (e.g., inadequate soil moisture, cold, water-logged conditions, inadequate planting depth, or any other factor that prevents normal growth) and this situation continues after application, the symptoms described under Note B1 above may not disappear and yields may be negatively affected. 3. Do not apply Cossack to wheat younger than the four-leaf stage. 4. Ensure that seed was incorporated to a minimum depth of 20 mm if Cossack is to be used. WEEDS CONTROLLED IN THE WINTER RAINFALL REGION BY COSSACK ALONE AT 250 g/ha BOTANICAL NAME COMMON NAME TIMING OF APPLICATION C. OTHER CROPS 1. Do not apply Cossack to wheat undersown with legumes. Cossack can, however, be used in wheat within a short crop rotation system with medics. 2. Spray drift of Cossack onto any adjacent crop, other than wheat or triticale, can result in severe damage to the non-target crop. Every effort must be made to prevent the drift of spray material onto adjacent crops. 3. RECROPPING AND CROP ROTATION: The following recropping intervals are valid only if Cossack is applied, ONCE per season, on soils with a ph of less than 7,0 (KCl) and average or above average rainfall occurs during the season and following the season in which the application was made: Canola, cultivated clovers or medics, lupins (bitter and sweet), lucerne, wheat, barley, oats, peas or triticale can be sown the season following a Cossack treatment (waiting period 9 months). For all other crops the replanting interval is unknown. Cossack applied on very sandy soils or soils with ph levels exceeding 7 (KCl) and/or soils containing free lime, may result in a longer residual activity in respect of follow-up crops. D. SOIL, WATER & CLIMATE 1. Two (2) hours are required for uptake of the chemical before rain falls. 2. Use good quality water. Water with conductivity exceeding 1, 0 ms/cm³, or with a resistance of less than 300 ohm and/or ph higher than 8 should be avoided. 3. Do not use Cossack on soils containing free lime, as this may affect efficacy as well as the residual activity of Cossack, extending the replant period and limiting crop rotation options.
