Axeman 600 Herbicide (Triclopyr)

Tips For Use

Restraints:

• Do not apply to weeds which may be stressed (not actively growing) due to prolonged periods of Extreme cold, moisture stress (water-logged or drought affected), poor nutrition,  presence of disease, or previous herbicide treatment as reduced levels of control may result.
• Do not spray if rain is likely within one hour or if foliage is wet from rain and dew. However, when tank mixed with glyphosate 450 herbicide, this time extends to 6 hours. 
• Do not burn off, cut or clear blackberry or other woody weeds for six months after spraying

Woody Weed Situations:

• Weeds need to be actively growing for herbicides to have optimum effect.
• Delay treatment until all regrowth has had time to grow to one metre high in situations, which have been bulldozed, slashed, burnt, ploughed or areas having a previous chemical treatment. 

Gas powered gun: 

• Apply 50 mL shots to obtain uniform coverage of 4 to 5 m² of surface area of bush. This relates to 20 droplets/cm² of leaf surface.

Basal Bark and Cut Stump Treatment:

• Mix Axeman 600 in diesel.
• The use of diesel as a herbicide carrier may affect the rubber seals in some sprayers.
• To avoid this, use sprayers, which use Viton seals and fittings.
• When using Axeman 600 with diesel, nitrile gloves should be worn instead of rubber gloves.

Basal Bark Method:

• Do not apply to wet stems as this can repel the diesel mixture.
• Apply only with hand-directed equipment such as a pressure sprayer or a paintbrush.
• Spray equipment should be used at low pressures, up to 200 kPa, to avoid excessive splashing or drift.
• Species with old, rough bark require more thorough wetting than smooth barked species.
• Liberally spray or paint the bark around the stem from ground level up to 30 cm high, wetting thoroughly to the point of runoff (unless otherwise stated).

Cut Stump Method:

• Stems should be cut less than 15 cm above the ground.
• Immediately apply Axeman 600/diesel mixture liberally to the freshly cut stump by spray or painting the cut surface and sides of the stem. 

For Native Vegetation: 

• Use of Axeman 600 herbicide on native vegetation must be done in accordance with state and/or local legislation.

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).
