Tordon 75-D Herbicide

Tips For Use

Tordon 75-D Herbicide is a phenoxy herbicide that can cause severe damage to native vegetation and susceptible crops such as cotton, grapes, tomatoes, oilseed crops and ornamentals.

Adjuvants:

• Do not add surfactants (such as BS-1000) or crop oils (such as Uptake Spraying Oil) unless specifically recommended to do so in the Directions For Use tables.

Compatibility:
Tordon 75-D is compatible with:

• Atrazine (600 g/L flowable or an equivalent granular product)
• Amine 625 (2,4-D)
• Diquat
• Metsulfuron-methyl
• Glyphosate 450

Restraints:

• Do not apply if heavy rains or storms are forecast within 3 days.
• Do not irrigate to the point of runoff for at least 3 days after application.
• Do not exceed the maximum application rate of 15L/ha (4500 g ae/ha).
• Do not exceed the maximum daily application rate by backpack spraying of 13.3L/day.
• Do not apply to crops or weeds which 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 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, one of the active constituents in this product remains active in the soil for extended periods depending on the rate of application, soil type, rainfall, temperature, humidity, soil moisture and soil organic matter. In some states, some uses of this product are controlled by legislation. Check with your local Department of Agriculture or Primary Industry for details.

Limitations:

• In Tasmania, this product may only be used from 15 April to 15 September unless otherwise permitted by the registrar of pesticides.

Re-Entry Period:

• If re-entering treated areas before the spray has dried, workers should wear overalls, elbow-length gloves and water-resistant footwear. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

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

• Crops susceptible to Tordon 75-D include but are not limited to; peas, lupins, lucerne, navy beans, soybeans, and other legumes; cotton, fruit, hops, ornamentals, potatoes, safflower sugar beet, sunflower, tobacco, tomatoes, vegetables and vines.
• Do not plant susceptible crops within 12 months of applying winter or summer cereal use rates of this product.
• Cereal crops and grasses can be sown safely after using Tordon 75-D.
• Rates in excess of these will result in more persistent soil residues.
• Therefore, do not rotate susceptible plants until an adequately sensitive bioassay or chemical test shows that no detectable picloram is present within the soil.
• Do not apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures.
• Avoid spray drift and vapour movement onto susceptible crops such as cotton, tobacco, tomatoes, vines, lupins, fruit trees and ornamentals.

Protection Of Livestock:

• Do not graze or cut treated crops or plants for stock food except as specified under in the withholding periods.
• Poisonous plants may become more palatable after spraying and stock should be kept away from these plants until they have died down.
