Woody Extra Herbicide

Tips For Use

Restraints:

• Do not apply to weeds that 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, damage or previous herbicide treatment, as reduced levels of control may result.
• Do not spray if rain is likely within 1 hour or if the foliage is wet from rain or dew.
• Do not burn off, cut or clear blackberry or other woody weeds for at least 6 months after spraying.
• In areas prone to flooding, treatment should commence after any annual flooding, as such areas flooded within 9 months following application may have reduced results.

Spray Drift Restraints:

• Specific definitions for terms used in this section of the label can be found at apvma.gov.au/spraydrift
• Do not allow bystanders to come into contact with the spray cloud.
• Do not apply in a manner that may cause an unacceptable impact on native vegetation, agricultural crops, landscaped gardens and aquaculture production or cause contamination of plant or livestock commodities outside the application site from spray drift. Wherever possible, correctly use application equipment designed to reduce spray drift and apply when the wind direction is away from these sensitive areas.
• Do not apply unless the wind speed is between 3 and 20 kilometres per hour at the application site during the time of application (or a maximum 15 kilometres per hour for aerial application).
• Do not apply if there are hazardous surface temperature inversion conditions present at the application site during the time of application. Surface temperature inversion conditions exist most evenings one to two hours before sunset and persist until one to two hours after sunrise.

Other Limitations:

• In Tasmania for blackberries do not treat bushes carrying mature or near mature fruit. For native vegetation, the use of Apparent Woody Extra Herbicide on native vegetation must be done in accordance with State and/or Local legislation.

Protection Of Livestock:

• Poisonous plants may become more palatable after spraying, and stock should be kept away from these plants until they have died down.
• Many plants remain poisonous after death, and stock should not be allowed access, as there is a likelihood that they may graze the dead material. Such material should be burnt if possible.

Protection Of Wildlife, Fish, Crustaceans And the Environment:

• Do not contaminate streams, rivers or watercourses with the chemical or used containers.

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

• Crops susceptible to Apparent Woody Extra Herbicide include but are not limited to peas, lupins, lucerne, navy beans, peanuts, soybeans and other legumes, cotton, flowers, fruit, hops, ornamentals, shade trees and Pinus spp., potatoes, safflower, sugar beet, sunflowers, tobacco, tomatoes, vegetables and vines.
• Apparent Woody Extra Herbicide is damaging to susceptible crops during both growing and dormant periods. Grasses are normally unaffected and establish quickly after treatment.
• Picloram and aminopyralid, two of the active constituents in this product, can remain active in the soil for extended periods depending on soil type and application rate, rainfall, temperature, humidity, soil moisture and soil organic matter.
• Do not apply under weather conditions or from spraying equipment that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands, pastures, waterways or native vegetation.
• Do not allow physical spray drift onto waterways, native vegetation and susceptible crops.
• Do not apply close to or in areas containing roots of desirable vegetation, where the treated soil may be washed onto areas growing (or areas to be planted with) desirable plants.
• Do not apply on sites where surface water from heavy rain can be expected to run off to areas containing or to be planted with susceptible crops or plants.
• Do not move soil, which may have been treated, to areas where desirable plants will be grown.

Management Of Residues In Compost, Mulches And Animal Waste.

• Do not cut pasture for hay or silage production within 6 months of application, where it is intended for use off-farm.
• Do not use treated plant material to make compost, mulches or mushroom substrate.
• Do not send straw from treated pastures off-farm for these purposes or for animal bedding.
• Do not send animal manure, dairy shed and feed pad effluent that has been collected from animals grazing or fed pastures treated within the previous 6 months off-farm.
• Spreading/irrigating this manure/effluent may cause damage to clover and other susceptible plants.
• Do not send compost made from animal waste that has been collected from animals grazing or fed pastures treated within the previous 6 months off-farm. Such compost may cause damage to clover and other susceptible plants.
• Do not apply animal waste (e.g. manure, slurry) collected from animals grazing or fed pastures treated within the previous 6 months to susceptible plants or land to be used to grow susceptible plants.
• Do not grow susceptible plants within the relevant plant back period in fields treated with manure/effluent from farms where animals have grazed or been fed treated pasture until a field bioassay shows there are no residues in the soil at levels injurious to the susceptible plants (see the Minimum Recropping Periods section). To promote herbicide decomposition, manure should be evenly incorporated into the surface soil. The breakdown of residues in decomposing plants or manure is more rapid under warm, moist soil conditions and may be enhanced by supplemental irrigation.

Storage:

• Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
• Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight.
• Do not store near food, feedstuffs, fertilisers or seed.

Safety Directions:

• It will irritate the eyes and skin.
• Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
• If the product is in the eyes, wash it out immediately with water.
• When opening the container and preparing the spray, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrists (or equivalent clothing), elbow-length PVC or nitrile gloves and a face shield or goggles.
• When using the prepared spray with hand-held application equipment, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrists (or equivalent clothing), and elbow-length PVC or nitrile gloves.
• Wash hands after use.
• After each day’s use, wash gloves, face shields or goggles and contaminated clothing.

First Aid:

• If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre. Phone: Australia 13 11 26.
• If in eyes, hold them open, flood them with water for at least 15 minutes and see a doctor.
• For further information, refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
