Do not clean application equipment near surface water. Avoid contamination via drains from farmyards and roads. RISK TO NON-TARGET INSECTS OR OTHER ARTHROPODS. Avoid spraying within 5 m of the field boundary to reduce effects on non-target insects or other arthropods. Extreme care must be taken to avoid spray drift on to non-crop plants outside of the target area. Storage and disposal KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. KEEP AWAY FROM FOOD, DRINK AND ANIMAL FEEDING STUFFS. KEEP IN ORIGINAL CONTAINER, tightly closed, in a safe place. KEEP IN A COOL, WELL VENTILATED PLACE.

All instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product. RESTRICTIONS Apply before weeds have emerged. Seeds must be well covered with soil. Avoid overlapping of spray swaths. Do not spray in the neighbourhood of ready to harvest crops. Avoid drift, especially to very sensitive crops such as flax, poppy seed, cereals (during or before flowering), cucumber, tomatoes, melons and gherkins. Page 2/5 030511.00
The variety of trees for nursery or public gardens is very extensive and the sensitivity for this product can, even within one species, be very variable. If there is no experience with this product, it is advised to test the product at a small scale to the conditions at the farm. WEATHER CONDITIONS Preferably apply on humid soils and at not too high temperatures, so preferably in the autumn or the spring. Under ideal circumstances, there should be some light rain afterwards. Do not apply when heavy rainfall is predicted shortly after the application. Drought after the application can make the treatment less effective. Spraying under windy conditions could lead to uneven distribution over the field and drift to adjacent crops and should therefore be avoided. SOILS INTRUDER can be used on all soils, except on sandy soils with less than 1% organic matter and on sandy open textured soils due to the risk of wash out to the roots of the crops. Seedbeds should be fine and moist for best results. Do not disturb the soil after application of INTRUDER. RESISTANCE Strains of some annual grasses, e.g. black-grass, wild-oats, and Italian rye-grass, have developed resistance to herbicides which may lead to poor control. A strategy for preventing and managing such resistance should be adopted. Guidelines have been produced by the Weed Resistance Action Group and copies are available from the HGCA, CPA, your distributor, crop adviser or product manufacturer. WEEDS CONTROLLED Chlorpropham mainly works by absorption by the subterranean parts of the weeds. It is therefore very important to apply the product on a weed-free soil. New emerging weeds will also be controlled if they belong to the sensitive species. The product works against a number of annual weeds. Susceptible weeds Annual meadow grass, Black-bindweed, Blackgrass, Common chickweed, Common hemp-nettle, Common poppy, Field penny-cress, Knotgrass, Pale persicaria, Small nettle, Speedwells, Wild oat Moderately susceptible weeds Black nightshade, Common orache, Common fumitory, Fat hen, Fig-leaved goosefoot, Hedge bindweed, Redshank, Shepherd s purse Composites (groundsel, smooth sow-thistle, mayweed and others) and cleavers are insensitive. Also perennial weeds will not be controlled. CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION Endive, lettuce, radicchio Apply before planting and/or 1-2 weeks after planting out. Dose: maximum individual dose 1.9 litres/ha, maximum total dose of 3.8 litres product/ha/crop. Apply with an interval of 1-2 weeks. Spray volume: 500 litres/ha. Remarks: Slight damage on the first leaves following the application after planting out is possible. This has no influence on the following leaves and on the yield. Do not apply to lamb s lettuce. Bulb onions, salad onions and shallots (spring and overwintered) including drilled and planted from sets and transplants Follow for these crops either the standard application system or the Low Dosage System. Page 3/5 030511.00

Remark: Application between emergence and the 1-leaf stage can give some crop damage. Application according to the Low Dosage System Apply before and/or after emergence of the crop. Dose: 0.5-1 litres/ha, 1-6 applications with an interval of 5-10 days. The total dosage may not exceed 6 litres/ha. Spray volume: 300 litres/ha. The application of chlorpropham might lead to taint with pickling onions. CONSULT PROCESSOR before using on crops for processing. Ornamental plant production Crop specific information for the following crops is provided below: trees for nursery and public gardens. Trees for nursery and public gardens Dose: 2 litres/ha, 1-2 applications with an interval of 1-2 weeks. Spray volume: 500-800 litres/ha. Apply as a spray between the rows only. Seed beds: before emergence of Aesculus, Castanea, Corylus, Fagus and Quercus. Seed beds: (one year standing) e.g. Abies, Picea, Pinus mugo, Thuja and Tsuga in November (December). Winter cuttings: immediately after cutting, but before sprouting (ca. mid March). Various annual and perennial nursery crops: INTRUDER can be applied in November-December between all deciduous and evergreen crops. A spray hood should be used! For the named applications the crop should be at least standing until the spring. In February/March the product can be applied between standing crops, but the crop should not be touched. The use of a spray hood is therefore recommended. Grafted roses: Apply in November-December on weed-free soils. Following crops It is advised to cultivate treated land to a depth of 15 cm before planting succeeding crops. Mixing and spraying Before use ensure that all spraying equipment is clean. Add the appropriate amount of INTRUDER to clean water in a half-filled sprayer tank, mix thoroughly, and add the remainder of the water. Rinse container thoroughly by using an integrated pressure rinsing device or manually rinse three times. Add washing water to sprayer at time of filling and dispose of safely. Agitate continuously while filling the sprayer and during spraying. Spray immediately after mixing, and do not allow the spray mixture to stand in the sprayer tank. For all crops, INTRUDER should be applied using a medium quality spray (BCPC classification) and a water volume as mentioned in the section crop specific information. Page 4/5 030511.00
Cleaning of equipment All application equipment must be thoroughly cleaned prior to storage or use on another crop. After using INTRUDER, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash the inside of the tank with a pressure hose. Quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump, line, hoses and nozzles, then drain. Quarter fill the tank again, add a suitable detergent and circulate through the system for at least 15 minutes. Drain, remove filters and nozzles and clean separately. Rinse the inside of the tank thoroughly using a pressure hose and flush system with clean water. Compatibility No tank mixes are recommended on the label.
