Sabakem Glyphosate 550 Twin Salt Herbicide

Tips For Use

Restraints:

• Do not disturb weeds by cultivation, sowing, or grazing for six hours of daylight following treatment of annual weeds, and seven days for perennial weeds, to ensure full herbicide absorption.
• Do not apply when wind speeds fall below 3 km/h or exceed 20 km/h.
• Do not apply during surface temperature inversion conditions, which typically occur from one to two hours before sunset through to one to two hours after sunrise.
• Do not treat weeds under poor growing conditions caused by moisture stress, waterlogging, severe frosting, or insect damage, as reduced performance will result.

Mixing Instructions:

• Fill the spray tank one-third to one-half full with clean water and start agitation.
• If adding ammonium sulphate, use at 2% v/v and mix thoroughly before adding other products.
• If tank-mixing, add the other herbicide, insecticide, or additive to the spray tank first and mix thoroughly.
• Add Sabakem Glyphosate 550 Twin Salt Herbicide and the remaining water, then mix thoroughly.
• Add octyl phenol ethoxylate non-ionic surfactant near the end of the filling process, only where specifically directed on the label.
• Maintain adequate agitation throughout application and use the tank mix promptly.
• Do not mix, store, or apply this product in galvanised steel or unlined steel containers, as a highly flammable gas mixture may form. Use stainless steel, aluminium, fibreglass, plastic, or plastic-lined containers.

General Instructions:

• Do not add surfactants, adjuvants, or other pesticides except as specifically directed on the label.
• Rain within one hour of application that causes run-off may require re-treatment. Rainfastness is reduced if weeds are stressed or under low light conditions.
• Apply to weeds with at least one true leaf (broadleaf weeds) or two leaves (grasses) to ensure an adequate surface area for uptake.
• If heavy grazing has occurred, allow regrowth to 6 to 8 cm before spraying and apply the higher recommended rate.
• Use spray solutions promptly, as herbicide activity may gradually decline over several days following spray preparation.

Compatibility:

• Compatible with registered herbicides including LV Ester 680 (2,4-D ester), Nufarm Kamba 500 (dicamba), trifluralin 480, and others as listed on the label.

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

• Avoid any contact with foliage, green stems, or fruit of crops, desirable plants, and trees, as severe damage or destruction may result.
• Do not apply under weather conditions or from equipment likely to cause spray drift onto susceptible nearby plants, crops, or pastures.

Protection of Wildlife, Fish, Crustaceans and the Environment:
