Herbicides made from picloram, such as Piccolo 240 Herbicide, are known for their effectiveness due to several key factors:

  • Selective Weed Control: Picloram-based herbicides are highly effective in selectively controlling broadleaf weeds while leaving desirable grasses relatively unharmed. They target and suppress the growth of a wide range of broadleaf weeds, including woody plants and brush species, while having minimal impact on grasses.
  • Systemic Action: Picloram is a systemic herbicide absorbed by the leaves and then translocated throughout the plant, reaching the roots and other growing points. This systemic action allows it to effectively control weeds by killing them from within, including the underground root systems, which can prevent regrowth.
  • Persistence in Soil: Picloram has a long residual activity in the soil, which means it remains active for an extended period. This persistence allows for prolonged control of weeds, reducing the need for frequent reapplications. It can be particularly useful in controlling perennial and deep-rooted weeds.
  • Low Application Rates: Picloram-based herbicides are often effective at low application rates, which can contribute to cost-effectiveness and reduced environmental impact. The lower rates required for control make it an efficient option for weed management.
  • Resistance Management: Picloram belongs to the pyridine group of herbicides, which has a different mode of action than other commonly used herbicides. This unique mode of action helps manage weed resistance, providing an alternative control option for weeds that may have developed resistance to other herbicide classes.

It’s worth noting that while picloram-based herbicides such as Piccolo 240 Herbicide can be highly effective, it is important to use them responsibly and according to label instructions. This includes considering factors such as environmental impact, application timing, target weeds, and any specific restrictions or precautions mentioned on the product label.

Tips For Use

Precaution:

  • Soil residues can damage susceptible crops and plants during growing and dormant periods.
  • Minimum re-cropping periods are recommended to minimise the risk of rotational crop injury.
  • In the season following the application of this product, the regeneration or establishment of sensitive legumes (clover, medics, peas, lupins) may be adversely affected by soil residues.

Minimum Recropping Periods:

  • Picloram remains active in the soil for extended periods depending on the application rate, soil type, rainfall, temperature, humidity, soil moisture and soil organic matter.
  • Note: Before using Piccolo 240 Herbicide in tank mixes with other herbicides, check the plant back period information on all product labels.
  • The most residual product, i.e. the product with the longest plant back period, will determine the time between spraying and planting.
  • The plant back periods listed in the directions for use do not commence until all stubble residue has broken down.

Re-Entry Period:

  • Do not enter treated areas until the spray has dried unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical-resistant gloves.
    Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

Restraints:

All Crops/Situations:

  • Do not apply to crops or weeds that are not actively growing or to plants that may be stressed (not actively growing) due to prolonged periods of extreme cold, moisture stress (water-logged or drought-affected), or previous herbicide treatment as crop damage or reduced levels of control may result.
  • Do not use it in high winds.
  • Do not spray if rain is likely to occur within four hours when applying in tank mixtures with MCPA amine, 2,4-D amine, metsulfuron-methyl (AC Militia 600) or glyphosate (AC Growler 450) products. Refer to the guidelines below for rainfall interval when tank mixing with triclopyr (AC Tricky 600).
  • Do not apply close to or on areas containing roots of desirable vegetation, where the treated soil may be washed into areas growing, or to be planted to desirable plants, or on sites where surface water from heavy rain can be expected to run off to areas containing or to be planted to susceptible crops or plants.
  • Do not move soil that may have been sprayed to areas where desirable plants are to be grown.
  • Picloram remains active in the soil for extended periods depending on the application rate, soil type, rainfall, temperature, humidity, soil moisture and soil organic matter. In some states, some uses of this product are controlled by legislation. Refer to the plant back guidelines and check with your local Department of Agriculture or Primary Industry for further details.

Tank Mixtures with Triclopyr 750 EC:

  • Do not burn off, cut or clear blackberry or other woody weeds for at least six (6) months after spraying.
  • Do not apply if rain is likely within one hour or if the foliage is wet from rain or dew.
  • Do not apply by aerial application in the wind above 15 km/hr and air temperatures above 35°C.
  • Treatment should commence after any annual flooding in areas prone to flooding as such areas flooded within nine (9) months following application may have reduced results.

Limitations:

  • In Tasmania, For Blackberry: Do not treat bushes carrying mature or near mature fruit.
  • For Native Vegetation: The use of Piccolo 240 plus Triclopyr 750 EC on native vegetation must be done in accordance with State and/or Local legislation.

Protection Of Crops, Native And Other Non-Target Plants:

  • Crops and plants susceptible to Piccolo 240 Herbicide include, but are not limited to, clovers, medics, lucerne, lupins, navy beans, peas, soybeans and other legumes, cotton, flowers, hops, grape and kiwi fruit vines, ornamentals, potatoes, safflower, shade trees, sugar beet, tobacco, tomatoes, tree fruits and vegetables.
  • Refer to the Minimum Re-cropping Periods section for plant back periods.
  • During spraying, this product will kill legumes (clovers, medics) present in the crop.
  • Do not apply close to or on areas containing roots of desirable vegetation, where the treated soil may be washed to areas growing or to be planted to desirable plants, or on sites where surface water from heavy rain can be expected to run off to areas containing or to be planted to susceptible crops or plants.
  • Do not move soil, which may have been sprayed, to areas where susceptible crops or plants are to be grown.
  • Cereal crops may be reduced in height following the use of this product.
  • This height reduction is a normal response and represents no yield loss.
