RODUCT INFORMATION

Accensi Glyphosate 540 is a non-volatile, non selective, water soluble liquid herbicide for the control of annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds in a wide range of agricultural and non-agricultural use situations. Accensi Glyphosate 540 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 540 is absorbed by plant foliage and green stems. It is inactivated in the soil and does not provide residual weed control. Accensi Glyphosate 540 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.

MIXING
Accensi Glyphosate 540 mixes readily with water. Reduced results may occur if water is used containing suspended clay or organic matter e.g. from dams, streams or irrigation channels, or high levels of calcium, magnesium or bicarbonate ions.
Do not mix, store or apply this product in galvanised steel or unlined steel containers or spray tanks, since a highly flammable gas mix1ure may be formed Use stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper, fibreglass, plastic or plastic lined containers or spray tanks. Spray tanks, pumps, lines and nozzles should be thoroughly rinsed with clean water following application. Ensure that the sprayer is free of any residues of previous spray materials prior to mixing. Use spray solutions promptly as a gradual loss of activity may occur over a period of days following spray preparation.

Mixing Instructions:
1. Fill the spray tank 1/3 to% full with clean water and start agitation.
2. Where ammonium sulphate is recommended, add liquid Spraymate Liase at 2L/1 OOL spray solution and mix thoroughly.
3. Add recommended herbicide/insecticide/additive to the spray tank and mix thoroughly.
4. Add Accensi Glyphosate 540 and the remaining water. Mix thoroughly.
5. Add surfactant, if required, near the end of the filling process to minimise foaming.
6. Always maintain adequate agitation during application and use the tank mix promptly.
Clean all equipment after use by washing thoroughly with clean water.

APPLICATION

Boom Equipment
For boom application, a spray volume of BOL/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 50L/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 SOL/sprayed 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 540. Avoid contact with desirable vegetation. Operate wiper equipment a minimum of 10cm 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 Bkm/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 700mL Accensi Glyphosate 540 with 2.3 litres clean water. Adjust flow rate to suit equipment.

Aerial Equipment
Accensi Glyphosate 540 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 2.7Uha 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 20Liha 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, alter each day of spraying to remove herbicide residues.

Application on hilly terrain
Increase water volume to 30-BOL/ha and increase droplet diameter of output to at least 300 microns to optimise deposition of spray output onto weeds.
Air temperature and relative humidity
DO NOT apply Accensi Glyphosate 540 by aircraft at temperatures above 30 deg C. Increase water volume output to at least 30L/ha when temperatures rise above 25 deg C. Avoid application when relative humidity falls below 35%.

AVOID DRIFT
DO NOT apply treatments with spraying equipment or under weather conditions which are likely to cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible crops, pastures or other sensitive plants. DO NOT apply treatments under very light winds (less than 4km/h) or inversion conditions or where wind speeds exceed 12km/h.
