Sporo 745 Herbicide

Tips For Use

Restraints:

• Do not apply to steeply sloping sites when using high rates for perennial grass control.
• Do not allow spray drift onto susceptible crops, ornamentals, or desirable trees.
• Apply only when the wind speed is between 3 and 20 kilometres per hour.
• Do not apply during hazardous surface temperature inversion conditions (typically one to two hours before sunset to one to two hours after sunrise).
• Do not allow bystanders to contact the spray cloud.

General Instructions:

• This product is slow-acting. Expect 3 to 12 months for full control of existing growth, depending on weather and plant senescence.
• The product leaches under heavy rainfall or irrigation. Dry conditions favour persistence in the soil.
• Avoid use in channels, drains, and areas where roots of desirable plants may extend.
• Shaded conditions may reduce control effectiveness.
• Do not treat pasture land with this product more than once per year.
• Subterranean clover and other annual legumes may sustain damage if exposed to spray or if they germinate before residues dissipate.

Mixing Instructions:

• Add the required amount directly to the spray tank while running the agitation. When mixing with dispersible powders, make a slurry first, add to a half-filled tank, then add flupropanate and fill to volume.
• Add 100mL of non-ionic surfactant (600 g/L) per 100 litres of spray.

Compatibility:

• Compatible with glyphosate for the knockdown of existing vegetation.

Re-seeding:

• Desirable pasture species, including phalaris, cocksfoot, ryegrass, clovers, and lucerne, may be sown after at least 100mm of leaching rain has fallen. Defer sowing until the next season if drought conditions continue.

Protection of Crops, Native and Other Non-Target Plants:

• Do not apply under conditions or from equipment that may cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible plants, crops, cropping lands, or pastures.

Protection of Wildlife, Fish, Crustaceans and the Environment:

• Do not contaminate streams, rivers, or watercourses with the chemical or used containers.

Protection of Livestock:

• Two withholding periods apply. Spot spraying: do not graze or cut for stock feed for at least 14 days after treatment. Blanket treatment: do not graze or cut for stock feed for 4 months after application. Stock grazed in treated areas must then be moved to untreated areas or fed clean feed for at least 14 days before slaughter. This requirement applies permanently to treated areas.
• Lactating animals producing milk for human consumption must not graze treated areas.

Storage:

• Store in the closed original container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
• Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight.

Disposal:

• Triple-rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to the spray tank.
• Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site.
• Recycle containers where possible, or deliver to an approved waste management facility.
• Do not burn empty containers or product.

Safety Directions:

• Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
• Do not inhale spray mist.
• When preparing the spray, wear elbow-length PVC gloves and a face shield or goggles.
• Wash hands, arms, and face thoroughly with soap and water after use and before eating, drinking, or smoking.
• Wash gloves, face shield or goggles, and contaminated clothing after each day’s use.

Resistant Weeds Warning:

• AC Sporo 745 Herbicide is a Group 0 chlorocarbonic acid herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Group 0 herbicides may exist. Resistant individuals can dominate a weed population if the same herbicide group is used repeatedly. Rotate herbicide groups as part of a resistance management strategy.

First Aid:

• If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre. Phone Australia 131 126.
