GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

This product is a non-selective liquid herbicide selective in the control of many annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds in crop areas, land preparations, and non-crop areas. This product is inactivated on contact with the soil and does not provide residual weed control. It is absorbed by the plant foliage and green stems and moves through the plant from the point of contact to the root system. Visible effects are gradual yellowing and wilting of the plant, which advances to complete browning of growth above the ground and deterioration of underground plant parts. Visible effects take 3 to 7 days on annual weeds, whereas on perennial weeds it may take 2 to 3 weeks or longer depending on weather conditions following spraying. No withholding period is required for this product. However, to ensure herbicide absorption, grazing of treated areas should be delayed at least one day after treatment of annual weeds and 7 days for perennial weeds. Certain plants (e.g., soursob, variegated thistle) are known to be naturally toxic to stock. Where known toxic plants are present, do not allow stock to graze until complete brownout of treated plants has occurred.

CROP ESTABLISHMENT

This product is recommended for the control of emerged weeds prior to crop establishment. Suitable cultivation and/or sowing operations are required to provide seedbed conditions satisfactory for crop germination and development. Spraying early to control young weeds will favor the preparation of suitable seedbeds. On friable soils where there is only a light cover of young weeds, sowing may proceed satisfactorily from one day after spraying. In situations of heavy weed growth, sowing should be delayed until weed decay and soil conditions allow the formation of a favorable seedbed. Incorporation of green or decaying vegetation and roots into the seedbed by cultivation or sowing may cause retarded crop emergence, particularly in cold and/or wet conditions. Vegetation may be reduced by grazing, and weed decay may be assisted by cultivation to leave trash on the surface. In marginal seedbed conditions, take care to achieve the correct seeding depth and avoid the use of pre-emergence herbicides where label directions advise the risk of retarded crop emergence.

MIXING

1. Clean spray tank and assure it is free from residues of previous spray materials.
2. Fill the spray tank with half the required amount of clean water.
3. Add the required amount of eChem GLYPHOSATE 450 Herbicide and mix well before adding the remaining water.
4. If surfactant is required, add this last to minimize foaming.
5. Agitate well before spraying.
6. When preparing a spray solution, use clean water since hard water containing calcium salts could inactivate glyphosate.
7. Spray solutions of this product should be mixed, stored, and applied only in stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, fiberglass, plastic, or plastic-lined spray tanks. Do not mix or store the product or spray solutions in galvanized steel or unlined steel (except stainless steel).

TANK MIXES

When tank mixing with other products, read and follow all label directions, restraints, plant back periods, withholding periods, and safety and first aid directions for the tank mix products. This product is compatible with the following insecticides: chlorpyrifos, dimethoate, fenitrothion, Gusathion1, Imidan1, Le Mat1, Lorsban1, metasystox1, and Sumithion1. Other insecticides have not been tested.

Atrazines/Triazines: eChem GLYPHOSATE 450 Herbicide may be tank mixed with Atrazine Flowable or Triazine Flowable for knockdown and residual weed control. Addition of crystalline ammonium sulfate at 2% w/v (2 kg/100-liter spray solution) is recommended to avoid antagonism.

Dicamba: eChem GLYPHOSATE 450 Herbicide and Dicamba may be tank mixed for more selective control of Sorrel, Sub. Clover, medics.

2,4-D: eChem GLYPHOSATE 450 Herbicide may be tank mixed with 2,4-D Ester or 2,4-D Isopropylamine for improved control of broadleaf weeds.

Chlorsulfuron: eChem GLYPHOSATE 450 Herbicide and chlorsulfuron tank mix will provide knockdown and residual weed control in fallow and in crop. Observe plant back restrictions for chlorsulfuron.

Metsulfuron: eChem GLYPHOSATE 450 Herbicide and metsulfuron tank mix provide knockdown weed control in fallows and prior to planting certain winter cereals. Follow all label instructions on the metsulfuron label.

Goal1 CT: The addition of Goal CT at the rate of 75 mL/ha to the recommended rate of eChem GLYPHOSATE 450 Herbicide prior to planting wheat or barley will improve knockdown and increase the speed at which treated weeds develop visual symptoms of phytotoxicity.

GENERAL SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS

Do not spray this product if rain is likely to occur within 6 hours. Heavy rainfall within 2 hours after application may wash the chemical off the foliage, and a repeat treatment may be required. Do not add extra surfactant or mix with other agricultural chemicals, herbicide oils, or any other materials unless specifically directed on the label.

APPLICATION

Boom Equipment: Use at a spray volume of 25 to 100 L/ha. Fan nozzles at a pressure of 240 – 280 Kpa are recommended. Boom height must be set to ensure a double overlap of nozzle patterns at the top of the weed canopy.

Knapsack and Handgun Equipment: Adjust equipment to deliver a fine spray pattern and ensure a complete and uniform wetting of all foliage. Do not spray in conditions conducive to spray drift.

Aerial application: Aerial equipment may only be used to apply this product in pasture or fallow situations before the establishment of field crops, fodder crops, new pasture, and for pre-harvest applications to sorghum crops. DO NOT use in intensive horticultural areas. Use the recommended rates on this label up to a maximum of 3.2 L/ha. For micronair and boom equipment, apply in a minimum spray volume of at least 15L/ha with an average droplet size of (or VMD) of 250-350 micron diameter. Swath width should be 15-17m.

Application on hilly terrain: As spraying height may vary, to maximize target contact increase water volume to 30-80 L/ha and increase droplet size to at least 300
