Glyphosate 550 Twin-Salt Herbicide

Tips For Use

Application Checklist:

• Do not treat weeds under poor growing conditions due to moisture stress, waterlogging, severe frosting, insect damage, etc. Reduced performance may also occur where weeds are covered with dust or silt.
• Do not add surfactants, adjuvants or other pesticides except as specifically directed on the label.
• Rain within 1 hour of application, which causes runoff, may require re-treatment. Rainfastness is reduced if weeds are not actively growing under stress or conditions of low light intensity/darkness.
• The addition of Octyl phenol ethoxylate non-ionic surfactant may improve rain fastness on Winter annual weeds.
• A withholding period for grazing is not required. However, it is recommended that grazing of treated plants be delayed to ensure herbicide uptake.
• Certain plants such as Soursob, Variegated thistle, Sorghum and Johnson grass may be naturally toxic to stock when eaten in large quantities under certain conditions. Where plants are known to be toxic, grazing should be delayed until complete desiccation of treated plants has occurred.
• Apply treatments to weeds that have at least one true leaf (broadleaf weeds) or two leaves (grasses) to provide an adequate surface area for herbicide uptake.
• If heavy grazing has occurred, allow regrowth to 6-8 cm before spraying and use the higher rates recommended.

Restraints:

• Do not disturb weeds by cultivation, sowing or grazing for six hours of daylight following treatment of annual weeds and seven days for perennial weeds to ensure herbicide absorption unless specified otherwise in critical comments.

Spray Drift Restraints:

• Do not allow bystanders to come into contact with the spray cloud.
• Do not apply in a manner that may cause an unacceptable impact on native vegetation, agricultural crops, landscaped gardens and aquaculture production or cause contamination of plant or livestock commodities outside the application site from spray drift. 
• Wherever possible, correctly use application equipment designed to reduce spray drift and apply when the wind direction is away from these sensitive areas.
• Do not apply unless the wind speed is between 3 and 20 kilometres per hour at the application site during the time of application.
• Do not apply if there are hazardous surface temperature inversion conditions present at the application site during the time of application. 
• Surface temperature inversion conditions exist most evenings 1 to 2 hours before sunset and persist until 1 to 2 hours after sunrise.

Protection Of Wildlife, Fish, Crustaceans And Environment:

• Do not contaminate dams, rivers or streams with the product or used container. 
• Do not apply to weeds growing in or over water.
