Glyphosate 450 Xtraqatic Biactive Herbicide

Tips For Use

Restraints

• Do not disturb treated weeds by cultivation, sowing, or grazing for 1 day after treatment of annual weeds and 7 days for perennial weeds.
• Do not treat weeds under poor growing conditions, including drought, waterlogging, disease, insect damage, or following frost.
• Reduced control may occur when treating weeds heavily covered with dust or silt.
• Rainfall within 6 hours of application may reduce effectiveness. If heavy rain falls within 2 hours of application, repeat treatment may be required.

Application and Mixing Instructions

• For boom equipment, use fan nozzles at 240 to 280 kPa. Water volumes up to 200 L/ha are suitable.
• For conservation tillage applications, use 50 to 100 L/ha water volume.
• For aerial application, use a minimum of 15 L/ha. In high temperatures or on hilly terrain, increase to 30 to 80 L/ha.
• Droplet size should be 250 to 350 microns. Increase to at least 300 microns in high temperatures or on slopes.
• Adding a non-ionic surfactant at 200 mL per 100 L of 1000 g/L formulation may improve weed control. This is useful where water rates are high or product rates are low.
• For wiper equipment, use 800 mL of the product in 2 litres of water.
• Do not apply by air if the temperature exceeds 30°C. Avoid spraying in winds greater than 8 km/hr or in still air conditions.

Aquatic Precautions

• Do not apply within 0.5 km of a potable water intake in flowing water. This 0.5 km buffer also applies to standing bodies of water such as lakes, ponds, and reservoirs.
• Make applications to moving bodies of water while travelling upstream where possible to prevent concentration of herbicide.
• Do not add extra surfactant or wetter unless the label approves it for aquatic situations.
• Do not submerge weeds during spraying, as this may wash herbicide from the leaves.
• Reduction in effectiveness may result if more than one quarter of the aboveground portion of the weed is submerged at treatment.

Compatibility

• Compatible tank mix partners include atrazine (flowable or granular), dicamba, 2,4-D ester, 2,4-D Amine 625, metsulfuron, and chlorsulfuron.
• Do not add any other agricultural chemical, spraying oil, or other material except as directed on the label.
• Clay-contaminated water and hard water containing calcium salts can reduce glyphosate activity.

Protection of Livestock

• No withholding period applies when used as directed.
• Keep livestock clear of treated annual weeds for 1 day and perennial weeds for 7 days after spraying to allow efficient herbicide absorption.
• For plants known to be toxic to stock, keep livestock away until complete browning occurs.

Storage

• Store in original polyethylene or polypropylene containers. Keep containers securely sealed.
• Do not store in galvanised steel or unlined steel containers. The product may react to produce hydrogen gas, which can form an explosive mixture with air if ignited.
• Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers.
