Glufosinate 400 Herbicide

Tips For Use

• Visible symptoms of control appear in 3 to 7 days, but complete desiccation may take 20 to 30 days under cool conditions.
• Best results are achieved when the application is made under good growing conditions.
• Application to weeds under stress (e.g. due to continuous severe frosts, dry or waterlogged conditions) should be avoided.

Restraints: 

• Do not apply by aircraft.
• Do not apply when rain is expected within 6 hours.
• Do not apply to weeds under stress due to, for example, very dry, very wet, frosty or diseased conditions.
• Do not apply under hot dry conditions (temperatures above 33o^c with relative humidity below 50%).

Precaution: 

• Do not allow bystanders to come into contact with the spray cloud. 
• Re-entry period; Do not allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried.

Compatibility:

• Sabakem Glufosinate 400 Herbicide is compatible with most residual herbicides e.g. Simazine, Diuron, Oxyfluorfen, Norfluazuron, And Oryzalin, And With Glyphosate And Metsulfuron.
• The addition of a wetting agent or other adjuvant is generally not considered necessary, (refer to the Directions for Use table).  However, the benefit has been obtained using a wetting agent or adjuvant on hard-to-wet weeds when using water rates in excess of 500 L/ha. The rate is 25 mL/100 L of a 1000 g/L non-ionic wetting agent, or equivalent.

Application Equipment:

Ground Sprayers:

• Aim to apply a thorough and even coverage of spray to the target plant.
• Dense stands of weeds should be thoroughly wetted with spray.
• Incomplete coverage may result in poor control.
• Equipment should be such that adequate coverage, penetration and volume of spray liquid can be achieved. 

Boom or Directed Sprayer Equipment:

• Sabakem Glufosinate 400 Herbicide should be applied at label rates (refer to the specific column in the lists of weeds controlled) in sufficient water to give thorough coverage of weeds.
• It has been found that 300 to 500 L/ha has given good results under most weed conditions.
• Special care must be taken when using sprayer/slasher combination units not to cause dust and turbulence, which can carry spray into non-target areas.

Knapsack and Handgun Equipment:

• Glufosinate 400 Herbicide should be applied at label rates (refer to specific columns in the lists of weeds controlled) in adequate water to thoroughly wet the weeds being sprayed, i.e. 500 to 1000 L/ha.
• Dense stands will require up to 1000 L/ha of spray mixture, whereas less dense stands will require less water.
• High volume application using hollow-cone nozzles for hand spraying is recommended.

Storage:

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

Safety Directions: 

• Harmful if inhaled. 
• Will irritate the eyes and skin. 
• Repeated exposure may cause allergic disorders. 
• Repeated minor exposure may have a cumulative poisoning effect. 
• Avoid contact with eyes and skin. 
• Do not inhale spray mist.
• When opening the container and preparing the spray, wear cotton overalls, over normal clothing, buttoned to the neck and wrist and a washable hat, elbow-length chemical resistant gloves and goggles.
• If applying by boom spray equipment, wear cotton overalls, over normal clothing, buttoned to the neck and wrist, and elbow-length chemical resistant gloves.
• In addition, wear cotton overalls, over normal clothing, buttoned to the neck and wrist and a washable hat, and a half piece respirator if applying by low-pressure hand wand.
• If the product is in the eyes, wash it out immediately with water.
• Wash hands after use. 
• After each day of use wash gloves and goggles and contaminated clothing and respirator and if rubber wash with detergent and warm water.

First Aid:

• If poisoning occurs contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone Australia 131 126.
• For further information, refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
