Glyphosate 700 Granular Herbicide

Tips For Use

The 10kg & 15kg packs can be stored safely once opened in a dry area.

General Instructions:

• Glyphosate 700 Herbicide is translocated throughout the plant, where it kills both foliage and roots.
• Ideally, the best time to use Glyphosate 700 Herbicide is when target species are in a state of active growth, moderate climatic conditions are present, and plants are free of disease and dirt cover.
• While cool and cloudy conditions can sometimes delay the appearance of chemical activity, it can generally be expected that symptoms of chemical effect will appear 2-7 days after spraying of annual species and 2-3 weeks after spraying of perennial species. The symptoms are demonstrated by yellowing and accompanying wilting, progressing to a brownout.

Crop Safety:

Do not allow Glyphosate 700 Herbicide to come in contact with the foliage, fruit or green stems of desirable crops, plants or trees, as the nature of the chemical is non-selective. Some useful guidelines that can help in this regard are:

1. Do not use it if the wind is blowing towards desirable plants in close proximity.
2. Avoid fine droplet settings (150 microns or less) when calibrating.
3. Avoid spraying in winds greater than 8km/hr, still air and on hot days.

While the product is rapidly inactivated on contact with the soil, it is important that certain factors are kept in mind:

1. Where there is a light presence of unwanted vegetative matter, sowing can commence one day after spraying.
2. Where the plant cover is heavy, it is better to allow the vegetative matter to decay before sowing to allow the formation of a satisfactory seed bed.

Spray Preparation:

1. Make sure the tank is clean and residues from previous usage have been removed.
2. Half fill the tank with clean water bearing in mind that less than perfect results may occur if water containing soil particles or hard water containing calcium salt is used. Glyphosate may be inactivated by water which is contaminated with clay particles or soil.
3. Add the appropriate amount of product as per the Directions for Use Tables.
4. Mix well, keeping the filling hose below the surface to avoid foaming.
5. Add water to fill the vat.
6. Remove the hose from the tank as soon as full to prevent back siphoning.

Do not use mechanical agitators, as these may cause excessive foaming.

Do not add non-approved herbicides and insecticides.

Use only plastic, plastic-lined, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper or fibreglass containers or spray tanks.

Galvanised steel or unlined steel containers or spray tanks can react with the product to produce hydrogen gas, which can form a combustible gas mixture that can be flashed by ignition sources.

Surfactant:

• The addition of a surfactant may improve weed control where water rates are high or product rates are low.
• Suggested surfactant rates are 200ml/100l of 1000g/l non-ionic surfactant or 250-500ml of 700g/l surfactant.
• Do not add spraying oils, agricultural chemicals or any other material except as directed on the label.

Organosilicone Penetrant:

In certain situations (as indicated in the Directions for Use table), weed control may be enhanced by the addition of an organosilicone penetrant 200mL/100L spray solution.

Application Checklist:

• Do not treat weeds under poor growing or dormant conditions (such as occur in drought, waterlogging, disease, insect damage or following frosts) as reduced weed control may result.  Reduced efficacy may also occur when treating weeds heavily covered with dust or silt.
• Do not add additional surfactant or mix with any other agricultural chemicals, herbicide oils, or any other materials except as specifically directed on this label.
• Rainfall occurring up to 6 hrs after application may reduce effectiveness. Heavy rainfall within 2hrs after application may wash the chemical off the foliage, and a repeat treatment may be required.
• Delay treatment of plants wet with dew or rain if water droplets run off when plants are disturbed.
• Do not disturb treated weeds by cultivation, sowing or grazing for one day after treatment of annual weeds and 7 days for perennial weeds to ensure herbicide absorption.
• A Withholding Period for grazing stock is not required. However, it is recommended that grazing of treated plants be delayed (as recommended above) to ensure herbicide absorption. Certain plants such as Soursob, Wort & Bracken may be naturally toxic to stock. Where known toxic plants are present, grazing should be delayed until complete browning of treated plants has occurred.
• Where required the addition of non-ionic surfactant is recommended at a rate of 100mL of a 600g/L product (or equivalent) per 100L spray solution.

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 no treat weeds under poor growing or dormant conditions such as occur in drought, water logging, disease, insect damage or following frost. Reduced control may also occur when treating weeds heavily covered with dust or silt. Rainfall occurring up to 6 hours after application may reduce effectiveness.
• Heavy rainfall within 2 hours of application may wash the chemical off the foliage, and a repeat treatment may be required.
• Do not use prior to sowing tomatoes.
