- Spillage
Exclude non-essential people from the area. Wear protective clothing and prevent material from entering waterways. Absorb spill with inert material such as soil, sand, etc, and place in a waste container. Wash area with water, and absorb with further inert material. Dispose of safely to a suitable landfill.
- Application
The crop growth stage best for application is between the 2 and 8 leaf stage when the crop is growing vigorously without moisture stress and free of wind damage. Caution: Application to crops greater than 500 mm in height risks crop injury. Do NOT use on popcorn. Orion Nico Ultra can be used safely on maize grown for seed on existing NZ varieties already tested for crop safety in NZ. Apply this product carefully as spray drift may cause serious damage to other desirable plants. Apply evenly to the weed canopy using ground based spray equipment at a minimum water rate of 200 liters per hectare to maximize coverage. Position the boom nozzles between the rows of the maize for direct coverage of weeds avoiding boom overlap. Do NOT apply Orion Nico Ultra into the maize or sweetcorn whorls as crop damage may occur. The use of nozzles on droppers from the boom will improve target weed coverage and minimize crop injury. The use of droppers or band spraying equipment is essential when spraying sweetcorn.

Directions For Use
5 rows| Characteristic | Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Couch | 1 | Apply when sufficient couch foliage is present for good coverage. |
| Mercer Grass (suppression), Kikuyu | 1.3 | Apply when sufficient weed foliage is present for good coverage but before the grass has formed a thick layer. Shading from a good crop canopy after application will improve control. In the following season, a repeat application will improve overall control. |
| Annual Grasses | 0.7 – 1 | Use the low rate only if following a pre-emergence herbicide application and if weed pressure is low. Apply when sufficient weed foliage is present for good coverage. Apply to summer grass at the maximum rate and before plants reach three tillers or tillers are 75mm in length. |
| Broadleaf Weeds | 0.7 – 1 | Use the low rate only if following a pre-emergence herbicide application and if weed pressure is low. Apply before weeds have reached the 4 true leaf stage, (75 to 100mm) and use in soil areas where the organic matter level is low to medium. Weeds larger than 4 true leaf stage may only be suppressed. Mature weeds will not be adequately controlled. To broaden the weed spectrum add a suitable tank mix herbicide. |
| Oxalis (Suppression) | 1 – 1.3 | The higher rate will improve contro |
