PRODUCT INFORMATION

Accensi Glyphosate 495 is a non-volatile, non selective, water soluble liquid herbicide for the control of annual and perennial grasses and broad leaf weeds in a wide range of agricultural and non-agricultural use situations. Accensi Glyphosate 495 may be used for weed control on agricultural land prior to sowing any edible or non-edible crop but not prior to transplanting tomato seedlings. When applying this product prior to transplanting crops into plastic mulch, care must be taken to remove residues of this product from the plastic prior to transplanting. Residues can be removed by 2cm of natural rainfall or by applying water via a sprinkler irrigation system.
Accensi Glyphosate 495 is absorbed by plant foliage and green stems. It is inactivated in the soil and does not provide residual weed control. Accensi Glyphosate 495 moves through the plant from the point of contact to and into the root system. Initial visible effects on annual weeds take 3-7 days but may not be noticeable for 2 to 3 weeks under cool cloudy conditions or on some perennial weeds.

APPLICATION

Boom Equipment
For boom application, a spray volume of 90L/ha or less is recommended for optimum performance. Nozzles and pressure settings should be selected to deliver a MEDIUM or MEDIUM-COARSE size droplet at the target (BCPC - British Crop Protection Council Standard). The use of nozzles and/or pressure settings that produce
VERY FINE or FINE droplets should be avoided as these are prone to loss or drift. In multiple product tank mixes, a minimum water volume of 60L/ha is recommended and local advice should be sought. Correct mixing order is important as is good in-tank agitation when application is occurring.
For shielded applications a spray volume of 90L/ha is recommended using nozzle types and pressure settings to deliver a COARSE (BCPC) size droplet at the target. Crop damage may result if spray drift occurs through incorrect nozzle and/or pressure selection, inadequate shielding and/or wind strength, high evaporation rates or excessive ground speed.

Wiper Equipment
Wiper equipment (e.g. Ropewick, canvas, felt or carpet applicators) may be used to apply Accensi Glyphosate 495. Avoid contact with desirable vegetation. Operate wiper equipment a minimum of 1 Ocm above the crop or pasture. Weeds should be at least 15cm above the crop or pasture at time of application. Speed of travel should be no greater than Skm/h. Best results are achieved at lower speeds and where two applications are made in opposite directions (double pass). Where weeds are of variable height, or occur in dense infestations or clumps, some plants may not be contacted by the herbicide solution. In these cases repeat treatment may be necessary.
RATE: Mix 765ml Accensi Glyphosate 495 with 2.3 litres clean water. Adjust flow rate to suit equipment.

Aerial Equipment
Accensi Glyphosate 495 may be applied by aircraft for control of weeds in forests, cropland or pasture prior to establishment of crops, new pastures or new forest plantings and for pre-harvest applications to sorghum and cotton crops up to a maximum rate of 3.0Liha where specified by this label. DO NOT apply treatments by aircraft in situations where drift onto sensitive crops and pastures is likely to occur.
Apply treatments using boom or Micronair equipment using a spray volume not less than 22Liha and using settings to produce a median droplet diameter of 250-350 microns. Swath width should be set to take into account aircraft type, wind conditions and target height. Swath width will need to be reduced to avoid stripping under light wind conditions and/or application to tall, dense targets e.g. pre-harvest application, treatments in heavy crop stubble.
Thoroughly wash aircraft, especially landing gear, after each day of spraying to remove herbicide residues.
