A non-selective herbicide for the control of a wide range of annual and perennial grasses and broad-leaved weeds as per the Directions for Use table.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

• 4Farmers Glyphosate 470 is a non-volatile, non-selective water soluble herbicide which is absorbed by plant foliage and green stems and is translocated through the plant from point of contact and into the root system. The effects of the herbicide may not be visible for 3-7 days for annual weeds or 2-3 weeks for perennial weeds depending on water quality, weather conditions, weed species and rate used.
• 4Farmers Glyphosate 470 will control emerged weeds only and does not provide residual weed control.
• Ideally, weeds should be healthy and actively growing and, to obtain optimum results, should not have been recently sprayed with another herbicide.
• 4Farmers Glyphosate 470 can be de-activated by soil particles and hard water containing calcium salts. Use only clean, fresh water for making up spray solutions, preferably rainwater or local authority water.
• DO NOT apply 4Farmers Glyphosate 470 to wet plants or if heavy rainfall is expected within 6 hours. Avoid spraying at night if rain is expected the next morning.
• 4Farmers Glyphosate 470 is recommended for control of emerged weeds prior to crop establishment as part of a conservation tillage operation.
• With heavy weed growth, sowing should be delayed until weed decay and soil conditions allow formation of a satisfactory seedbed.

How Glyphosate 470 Works

Glyphosate 470 works by inhibiting EPSPS, an enzyme that is essential for the synthesis of amino acids in plants. This causes the plant to die of starvation. The herbicide is absorbed by the leaves and stems of the plant and moves throughout the plant. It is also translocated from treated leaves to the roots.

Benefits

• Effective against a wide range of weeds
• Can be used on a variety of crops
• Non-selective, so it will kill all plants it comes into contact with
• Low toxicity to mammals and birds
• Low volatility, so it is less likely to drift
• No residual activity, so it does not leave a toxic residue on the soil or crops

Application Rates

The application rate of Glyphosate 470 will vary depending on the type of crop, the type of weed, and the growth stage of the weeds. The recommended application rates are listed in the product label.

Precautions

• Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and applying Glyphosate 470, including gloves, long sleeves, long pants, and safety glasses.
• Do not apply the herbicide to windy days or when there is a risk of drift.
• Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
• Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling or applying the herbicide.
• Dispose of empty containers properly.

Safety

Glyphosate 470 is a low-toxicity herbicide, but it is important to follow the label instructions carefully to avoid any adverse effects. It is harmful if absorbed through the skin or swallowed. It will also irritate the skin and eyes.
