PRODUCT INFORMATION

Agritrading Glyphosate 700 SG Herbicide is a non-volatile, water soluble product with non-selective herbicidal activity against many annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and grasses. Agritrading Glyphosate 700 SG Herbicide may be used for weed control in agricultural land prior to sowing any edible or non-edible crop, but not prior to transplanting tomatoes. Agritrading Glyphosate 700 SG Herbicide is absorbed by plant foliage and green stems. It is inactivated immediately in the soil and does not provide residual weed control.
Agritrading Glyphosate 700 SG Herbicide moves throughout the plant from the point of contact to and into the root system.
Visible effects on annual weeds take 3 - 7 days, but on perennial weeds may not be obvious for 2 -3 weeks or longer in some cases. Visible effects of control may be delayed by cool or cloudy weather at and following treatment. Agritrading Glyphosate 700 SG
Herbicide will control emerged weeds only, and provides no residual weed control. Apply treatments to weeds which have at least one true leaf (broadleaf weeds) or two leaves (grasses) to provide adequate surface area for herbicide uptake.

CROP ESTABLISHMENT
Agritrading Glyphosate 700 SG Herbicide is recommended for 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 favour preparation of suitable seedbeds. On friable soils and where there is only 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 formation of a satisfactory 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 seeding depth and avoid use of pre-emergence herbicides where label directions advise risk of retarded crop emergence.

MIXING
For boom application, water volumes should not be less than 6 litres per 1 kg of Agritrading Glyphosate 700 SG Herbicide. Reduced results may occur if water containing soil is used, eg water from ponds and unlined ditches, or if hard water containing calcium salts is used.
Do not mix, store or apply this product, or spray solutions of this product, in galvanised steel or unlined steel containers or spray tanks, since a highly flammable gas mixture may be formed. Use stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper, fibreglass, plastic lined containers or spray tanks.
Spray tanks, pumps, line and nozzles should be thoroughly cleaned with clean water following application to prevent corrosion. Ensure the spray tank is free of any residue of pervious spray materials. Use spray solutions promptly and certainly within 5 days, since a gradual loss of activity will occur. Good agitation is required, particularly under cold conditions, to ensure all of the Agritrading Glyphosate 700 SG Herbicide dissolves when first added to the tank.
Full Agitation in Pre-filled Spray Tank
• Fill the tank with one-half required amount to clean water and set the pump on full agitation
• Add the required amount of Agritrading Glyphosate 700 SG Herbicide slowly to ensure that it is well dispersed through-out the tank, and none collects on the bottom. Suggested rate is 10 kg in 2 – 3 minutes.
• Continue water addition and fully agitate until all the Agritrading Glyphosate 700 SG Herbicide is completely dissolved.

SURFACTANT ADDITION
Additional surfactant is not required except where the rate of Agritrading Glyphosate 700 SG Herbicide is less than 6 g/L when applied by boom.
Rate: Add a mineral oil (e.g. ad-here) at 100 mL per 100 L water. Results with other surfactants may be variable. Do not mix with spraying oils, agricultural chemicals or any other material except as directed on the label.

APPLICATION
Agritrading Glyphosate 700 SG Herbicide is a non selective translocated herbicide. Direct spray contact, or even slight drift, may cause severe injury or destruction of any growing crops or other desirable plants including trees. Clean all equipment after use by thoroughly washing with water.

BOOM EQUIPMENT
For broadacre application, a spray volume of 60 L/ha or less is recommended for optimum performance. Fan nozzles equipment is recommended, using pressures in the range of 240 - 280 kPa. Boom height must be set to ensure double overlap of nozzle patterns at the top of the weed canopy.
High Volume Application
(eg Knapsack/Handgun Equipment)
The dilution rate is given as g/litre e.g.: 5 grams Agritrading Glyphosate 700 SG Herbicide per 1 litre of water. This is equal to 75 g per 15 litres of water or 500 g per 100 litres of water. Adjust equipment to achieve an even spray pattern. Apply to ensure complete and uniform wetting of all foliage. For handgun equipment, a D6 spray tip (Spraying Systems Australia P/L) or equivalent and an operating pressure of 400 - 700 kPa is recommended.

Aerial Equipment
Aerial equipment may be used to apply Agritrading Glyphosate 700 SG Herbicide only in pasture or fallow situations prior to establishment of field crops, fodder crops, or new pasture and for pre-harvest application to sorghum and cotton crops. DO NOT use in intensive horticultural cropping areas. Use recommended rates of Agritrading Glyphosate 700 SG Herbicide specified in this label up to a maximum limit of 2.1 kg/ha. For Micronair and boom equipment, apply in a minimum spray volume of at least 20 L/ha. Droplets with an average size (VMD) of 250 - 350 micron diameter are recommended. Swath width should be 15 - 17 m. Thoroughly wash aircraft, especially landing gear, after each day of spraying to remove herbicide residues.

Application on hilly terrain:
As spraying height may vary, to maximise target contact, increase water volume to 30 - 80 L/ha and increase droplet size to at least 300 micron VMD.
Application under summer conditions:
High temperatures and/or low relative humidity cause excessive evaporation of spray droplets which may reduce results. When temperature reaches 25°C, increase water volume to at least 30 L/ha and increase droplet size to at least 300 micron VMD. DO NOT apply Agritrading Glyphosate 700 SG Herbicide by aircraft when temperature is above 30°C.

Avoid Drift:
DO NOT use with spraying equipment or under meteorological conditions which could be expected to cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible plants, adjacent crops, crop lands or pastures. Equipment settings which produce fine droplets (150 microns or less), winds over 8 km/h, inversion conditions, still air and hot dry days all contribute to drift.
