Weed Force Weed Stop Herbicide

Tips For Use

Restraints

• Do not use on leached sandy soils low in organic matter.
• Do not use when intense rainfall is likely or on soils saturated with water, as off-target movement may occur.
• Do not store the mixed product overnight, as settling may occur.

General Instructions

• Best results occur when Weed Stop is applied to moist, bare ground or to small weeds up to 10 cm in height or diameter.
• Apply to actively growing weeds not stressed by drought, waterlogging, or frost.
• Sufficient moisture is required after treatment to enable root absorption by weed species.
• The degree of control and duration will vary with soil texture, organic matter content, soil pH, and rainfall.
• As soil organic matter increases, the rate of herbicide breakdown increases. The longest residual control is therefore obtained in soils with low organic matter.

Mixing Instructions

• Partially fill the spray tank with water.
• Add the required amount of Weed Stop to the tank (premixing in a bucket or jug is recommended).
• Top up with water to the correct volume with the agitation system engaged.
• Keep the material in suspension at all times by continuous agitation to prevent nozzle blockage.
• Do not store the mixed product overnight.

• Do not mix with potassium salt glyphosate formulations.
• Contact your nearest Weed Force representative or conduct a jar test for compatibility with other products.

Protection of Crops, Native and Other Non-Target Plants

• Do not apply near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas where roots may extend. As guidance, this exclusion zone is at least twice the height of any adjacent tree.
• When applying to fencelines, some desirable pasture species may be damaged where root systems extend into the treated area. Consult and notify neighbours before treating boundary fences.
• Apply a 5 m buffer to areas where surface water flow could wash the chemical into drains.
• Do not spray foliage or use on eroded areas where subsoil or tree roots are exposed.
• Do not apply during periods of intense rainfall or under conditions that cause drift or movement to non-target areas.
• Do not apply (broad acre situations) to bare ground on slopes exceeding 30% (approximately 15 degrees).

Protection of Wildlife, Fish, Crustaceans and the Environment

• Dangerous to aquatic life. Do not contaminate streams, rivers, or waterways with the chemical or used containers.
• Do not use in irrigation channels or in drains, including roadside ditches and table drains.
• Establish spray buffer zones as required: general buffers 20 m, permanent streams 10 m, temporary streams and drainage lines 10 m.
• Do not apply to waterlogged or saturated soil.

Protection of Livestock

• Keep stock away from treated areas, as some noxious weeds may become palatable after treatment.

Storage

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

Safety Directions

• Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not inhale dust.
• When preparing the spray, wear a face shield or goggles.
• Wash your hands after use.

First Aid

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