This herbicide can directly substitute for any other glyphosate based product. Broad spectrum weed control for both grasses and broadleaf weeds. The Glyphosate 875 WG formulation is virtually pure Glyphosate ammonium salt. It dissolves readily in water to form a ready-to-spray mix, but must always have a suitable wetter added. No containers to worry about, easy to dissolve, quick uptake and so early brown out.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS PRODUCT INFORMATION

4Farmers Glyphosate 875 is a non-volatile, water-soluble granule product with non-selective herbicidal activity against many annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and grasses. 4Farmers Glyphosate 875 may be used for weed control on agricultural land prior to sowing any edible or non-edible crop but not prior to transplanting tomatoes. 4Farmers Glyphosate 875 is absorbed by plant foliage and green stems. It is inactivated immediately in the soil and does not provide residual weed control. 4Farmers Glyphosate 875 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 noticeable for 2 to 3 weeks or longer in some cases. Visible effects of control may be delayed by cool or cloudy weather at and following treatment. Visible effects are a gradual yellowing and wilting of plant, which advances to complete browning of above ground growth and deterioration of underground plant parts. Delay application until vegetation has emerged to the stages described in the Weeds Controlled tables. Unemerged parts arising from unattached underground rhizomes or rootstocks of perennials will not be affected by spray and will continue to grow. For this reason best control of most perennial weeds is obtained at late growth stages approaching maturity.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

4Farmers Glyphosate 875 Herbicide is a non-selective, translocated herbicide. Direct contact, or even drift, may cause severe injury or destruction to any growing crop or other desirable plants including trees. Clean all equipment after use by thoroughly washing in water.

Boom equipment:

Apply this product in low spray volumes (25-100L/ha) using fan nozzle equipment with pressures in the range 240-280kPa. Boom height must be set to ensure double overlap of nozzle patterns at the top of the weed canopy. For crop and pasture topping, brown manuring, and when spraying larger weeds with a large biomass, spray volume should be at least 50 L/ha to ensure good coverage of the target.

Aerial Equipment:

Aerial application should only be in pasture or fallow crop situations prior to establishment of field or fodder crops or new pasture and for pre harvest application for sorghum crops. DO NOT use in intensive cropping situations. Use registered rates up to a maximum of 1.7 kg/ha and for Micronair and boom equipment apply in a minimum spray volume of at least 15L/ha. Average droplet size should be 250-350 micron diameter with a swath width of 15-17 metres. DO NOT apply by aircraft in temperatures above 35°C. Thoroughly wash aircraft, especially landing gear, after each day of spraying, to remove herbicide.

Shielded (shrouded) sprayers:

Row crops can be treated in the inter-rows using shielded spraying units that prevent ANYspray solution touching the crop. If the spray does contact crop plants, serious damage will ensue. Sprayers must be adjusted to avoid miss-tracking over the crop rows, pressures must be set so that spray mist does not leak out past the shields, and no other herbicides that might damage the crop should be mixed with the 4Farmers Glyphosate 875 Herbicide solution. The sprayers must be fitted with suitable nozzles ("even flat" or "banding") nozzles that give even coverage without overlap from neighbouring nozzles. For specific weeds, the rates of 4Farmers Glyphosate 875 Herbicide are the rates given for "Commencing a fallow" or "Knockdown prior to seeding without cultivation"

Wiping equipment (rope wick wipers, blanket wipers, roller wipers):

Weeds whose growth habit sets them above any desirable crop or pasture can be selectively removed from that crop/pasture. The wiper must be adjusted so that excess herbicide does not drip onto the crop/pasture. See the OTHER SITUATIONS table for details of rates.

Application on hilly terrain:

Increase water volume to 30-80L/ha with droplet size to at least 300 micron VMD on hilly terrain.

Application under hot conditions:

When applying in temperatures above 25°C, increase water volume to at least 30L/ha and droplet size to at least 300 micron VMD. Avoid conditions that may result in drift such as wind over 8km/h and inversion conditions or equipment producing droplets of 150 micron or less.
