For the control of a wide range of grasses and broadleaf weeds as per the Directions for Use

DIRECTIONS FOR USE (Rate/ha)
Restraints:
DO NOT spray weeds which are waterlogged, under stress of any kind or covered with soil or dust
DO NOT spray weeds covered with heavy dew, but rain following spraying will not affect results
DO NOT sow or cultivate for 1 hour after spraying but operations should commence within 7 days
For ground application only: DO NOT use through aircraft, misting machines, knapsack sprayers, hand-held ultra low volume controlled droplet applicators (CDA units) or other hand-held, manually pumped equipment.

CROP, PASTURE OR FALLOW WSTABLISHMENT 
Aid to Cultivation to minimise cultivation and prepare a clean bed for sowing
Weeds Controlled: Annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in early autumn sowing
State: All states
Rate/ha: 835 mL to 1.1 LΔ plus adjuvant

Weeds Controlled: Annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in winter, spring and early summer sowing
State: All states
Rate/ha: 1.1 to 1.67 L plus adjuvant

Weeds Controlled: Wild Oats at 2 to 5 leaf stage in autumn/winter
State: Qld, Vic, Tas, SA, WA, NT only
Rate/ha: 420 mL to 560 mL plus adjuvant
State: NSW, ACT only
Rate/ha: 420 mL plus adjuvant

Critical Comments: Where cultivation follows spraying, it may commence 1 hour after spraying but should be completed within 7 days. Where heavy weed growth is present at spraying a better seed bed will result if cultivation is delayed 3 to 5 days.
Use the higher rates for dense, more mature weed stands. Wild Oats must have at least 2 leaves. Where Reglone is used the lower GRAMOXONE 360 PRO rate should be sufficient to control dense mature weeds.
Pasture: Remains of old pasture should be reduced by continuous heavy grazing. Remove stock 3 to 5 days before spraying to allow weeds to freshen up.
Refer to Adjuvant section under General Instructions

Weeds Controlled: Wild oats at 2 to 5 leaf stage in spring / summer
Rate/ha: 835 mL to 1.4 L plus adjuvant
Critical Comments: Use the higher rate for summer growth. Avoid spraying under hot, dry conditions. Best results will be obtained when spraying is carried out in the late evening.

PASTURES, PASTURE CLEANING IN AUTUMN/ EARLY WINTER
Annual Clovers, Perennial Clover
LATE WINTER/EARLY SPRING Annual Clovers, Perennial Clovers, Cocksfoot, Perennial Ryegrass, Phalaris, Demeter Fescue only
Weeds Controlled: Annual grasses and some broadleaf weeds except Paterson’s Curse, Sorrel, Dock, Shepherd’s Purse and some thistles
For control of these weeds alternative methods such as the spray-graze technique with 2,4-D or MCPA should be considered.
State: All States
Rate/ha: 420 to 835 mL/ha plus adjuvant 835 mL to 1.1 LΔ plus adjuvant
Use the higher rates for dense weed stands.
Refer to Adjuvant section under General Instructions
State: NSW, Vic, Tas, SA, ACT, NT only
Rate/ha: 1.1 to 1.67 LΔ plus adjuvant
Critical Comments: Use the higher rate in winter/early spring when Barley Grass is present.
All applications:
Graze pastures continuously after the seasonal break to a height of 2 to 4 cm. Remove stock 2 to 3 days before spraying to allow weeds to freshen up. DO NOT apply until clover has reached the 6 leaf stage. Mixed pastures will be scorched initially but should show good recovery and beneficial changes in composition following spring rainfall and growth.
DO NOT spray clovers which are affected by insect attack, disease or moisture stress and do not use on clover pastures growing in water repellent sands or other situations subject to moisture stress at or immediately following treatment otherwise poor recovery of the clover may result.
Use the lower rate for Cocksfoot and Perennial Ryegrass and the higher rate for Phalaris and Demeter Fescue. The perennial grasses must be at least 12 months old at spraying.
DO NOT APPLY TO MEDICS
Refer to Adjuvant section under General Instructions

Weeds Controlled: Yorkshire Fog Grass
State: Qld, NSW, Vic, Tas, SA, ACT, NT only
Rate/ha: 835 mL plus adjuvant
Critical Comments: Apply in early spring to reduce Yorkshire Fog Grass component and increase the clover and desirable grass component. Mixed pastures will be scorched initially but should show good recovery and beneficial changes in composition following spring rainfall and growth. In lower rainfall areas application in mid to late winter may be almost as effective but allows better pasture recovery. If pasture has been grazed allow sufficient time for pasture and Yorkshire Fog Grass recovery before spraying. Apply in spray volumes of 100 to 250 L/ha, the latter for dense or tall, ungrazed pastures.
Refer to Adjuvant section under General Instructions

Refer to Adjuvant section under General Instructions

SPRAYTOPPING TO REDUCE SEED SET
Chickpeas, Faba Beans, Field Peas, Lentils, Lupins, Vetch
Weeds Controlled: Annual ryegrass
State: All States
Rate/ha: 280 mL or 560 mL plus adjuvant
Critical Comments: As an aid in managing Annual Ryegrass resistance. For use on escapes from a previous herbicide application in the current crop.
Spray the crop when the Annual Ryegrass is at the optimum stage, that is when the last Annual Ryegrass seed heads at the bottom of the plant have emerged and the majority are at or just past flowering (with anthers present or glumes open) but before haying off is evident - usually October to November. Use of the higher rate in these crops is usually more reliable and gives a greater reduction in seed set.
Reduction in crop yield may occur especially if the crop is less advanced relative to the Ryegrass, that is, if crops have a majority of green immature pods. The higher rate may also increase any yield reduction. In practice crop losses in excess of 25% may occur.
Apply by ground boom only in 50 to 100 L/ha. Spray with a calibrated boom spray raised to give double overlap at the level of the Ryegrass seed heads.
Refer to Adjuvant section under General Instructions

SPRAYTOPPING TO REDUCE SEED SET
Pastures 
Weeds Controlled: Grasses generally (particularly Annual Ryegrass)
State: All States
Rate/ha: 280 mL plus adjuvant
Critical Comments: Heavily graze paddocks during spring flush to encourage even head development. Remove stock 2 to 3 weeks before the anticipated maturity date of the target species. However, if this is not feasible through lack of stock it is preferable to allow the pasture to mature ungrazed. Delay spraying until the last seed heads at the bottom of the plant have emerged and initial signs of haying off appear. Spray with a calibrated boom spray raised to give double overlap at the level of the seed heads.
Refer to Adjuvant section under General Instructions

Weeds Controlled: Barley grass
State: 280 mL plus adjuvant
Critical Comments: Manage paddocks as above. Spray after head emergence but when all seed heads are green and there is no sign of haying off. Inspect paddocks before returning stock. Provided spraying was carried out before hardening of grass seeds, stock (excepting horses) may be returned 24 hours after spraying. Where hardening seeds are present harrow to knock seed from the heads. DO NOT introduce lambs into paddock until safe from risk of seed injury. If seasonal conditions favour regeneration, stock should be returned to selectively graze new shoots. Spray with a calibrated boom spray raised to give double overlap at the level of the seed heads.
Refer to Adjuvant section under General Instructions

Weeds Controlled: Saffron Thistle
State: NSW, SA, ACT only
Rate/ha: 280 mL plus adjuvant
Critical Comments: Spray after the weeds begin to run to head until flowering
Refer to Adjuvant section under General Instructions

PREVENTION OF ANNUAL RYEGRASS TOXICITY
Weeds Controlled: Annual Ryegrass
State: WA only
Rate/ha: 280 mL plus adjuvant
Critical Comments: Grazing management as for spray topping above. Remove stock 3 to 4 weeks before the anticipated maturity date. Spray must be applied within 10 days after emergence of the first Annual Ryegrass seed heads.
To ensure adequate control of toxin development, heavy continuous grazing is essential from 1 day after spraying until the pasture has completely hayed off
The required stocking rate will vary but must be sufficient to keep all regrowth after spraying completely eaten off to prevent further growth producing new seed heads which could become toxic
Refer to Adjuvant section under General Instructions

HAY FREEZING
Weeds Controlled: Grasses generally
State: All States
Rate/ha: 560 mL plus adjuvant
Critical Comments: For maximum retention of protein in standing dry feed
Graze paddocks as for spray topping above. Remove stock 3 to 4 weeks before the anticipated maturity date. Apply prior to commencement of haying off regardless of the grass species involved. Spray with a calibrated boom spray raised to give double overlap at the level of the seed heads.
Refer to Adjuvant section under General Instructions

HOPS 
Weeds Controlled: Annual grasses and broad leaf weeds
State: Vic, Tas only
Rate/ha: 835 mL to 1.1 L plus 1.1 kg/ha Gesatop® Granules and/or 750 mL to 1.4 L/ha RegloneΔ plus adjuvant
Critical Comments: Apply as a directed inter-row spray prior to crop emergence from winter dormancy, using a minimum of 250 L/ha spray volume to ensure good and even coverage of weeds.
Refer to Adjuvant section under General Instructions

ORCHARDS (INCLUDING BANANAS) VINEYARDS
Weeds Controlled: Annual grasses and broadleaf weeds
State: Qld, Vic, Tas, SA, WA, NT only
Rate/ha: 1.1 to 2.25 L/ sprayed haΔ plus adjuvant
Critical Comments: Spray as necessary for control of annual weeds. Avoid contacting crop foliage. In Bananas apply soon after weed emergence and before weeds reach 15 cm in height. Avoid chemical contact with roots and peepers near the pseudo stem. Repeat sprays as required. GRAMOXONE 360 PRO will not harm trees or vines with mature brown bark if this alone is sprayed. Use the higher rate for dense weed growth.
Note: Spot spray rate assumes 1000 L water/ha. For lower water volumes increase dilution rate as below:
Water volume 250 L/ha: use 445 to 890 mL/100 L
Water volume 500 L/ha: use 220 to 445 mL/100 L
Water volume 750 L/ha: use 145 to 300 mL/100 L
OR Measure how much spray is required to cover an area of 100 m2 using your normal application volume. Your dilution rate is 11 to 22 mL of GRAMOXONE 360 PRO in this volume.
Refer to Adjuvant section under General Instructions

Refer to Adjuvant section under General Instructions

SUGARCANE
(Plant and ratoon)
Weeds Controlled: Grasses and some broadleaf weeds up to 5 cm high
State: Qld, NSW, NT only
Rate/ha: 835 mL to 1.1 L per sprayed ha plus adjuvant

Weeds Controlled: Grass and some broadleaf weeds -enhancement with Diurex* WG Up to 5 cm high
State: Qld, NSW, NT only
Rate/ha: 835 mL to 1.1 L plus 275 g to 500 g Diurex plus adjuvant

Weeds Controlled: Grass and some broadleaf weeds -enhancement with Diurex WG up to 10 cm high
State: Qld, NSW, NT only
Rate/ha: 835 mL to 1.1 L plus 1 kg Diurex plus adjuvant

Critical Comments: Apply as a broadcast spray over-the-top of plant cane up to the 3 to 4 leaf stage or ratoon cane up to 10 cm high. Cane foliage will be scorched but new leaves will appear in 7 to 10 days. In plant cane between the 3 to 4 leaf stage and the formation of the true stem use a directed interspace spray. The Irvin spray boom (or other similar equipment) is the most suitable equipment to avoid excessive drift onto cane foliage while spraying at the cane bases of plant and ratoon cane. After the formation of the true stem which is resistant to GRAMOXONE 360 PRO, the sprayer height can be raised to overlap the spray pattern to give weed control in the stool. Use the higher rate for dense, more mature weeds. GRAMOXONE 360 PRO can be mixed with Gesaprim Granules Herbicide to give residual weed control when used as a blanket or directed spray - refer to the Gesaprim Granules Herbicide label for specific rates.
To enhance activity of GRAMOXONE 360 PRO under favourable growing conditions and in open sunny conditions add Diurex WG at rates shown for weed size. Diurex WG at rates up to 500 g/ha can be blanket sprayed. Use a directed spray for higher rates of Diurex WG. Complete spray coverage is essential. For grasses and broadleaved weeds up to 5 cm high use a minimum of 250 L spray solution/ha.
Refer to Adjuvant section under General Instructions
DIURON TANK MIXES: Read and follow all label directions including restraints, spray drift restraints, mandatory no-spray zones, critical comments, withholding periods, regional use restrictions and safety directions for the tank mix products.
Δ - Capeweed or Erodium spp. present: Add Reglone at 750 mL to 1.5 L/ha (125 mL to 250 mL/100 L for high volume spraying). Use higher rate for plants more than 10 cm diameter.
NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION.
FOR USE ONLY AS AN AGRICULTURAL AND HORTICULTURAL HERBICIDE, THIS PRODUCT IS TOO HAZARDOUS TO BE USED IN THE HOME GARDEN.

WITHHOLDING PERIODS
Grazing
DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT SPRAYED VEGETATION FOR STOCK FOOD FOR AT LEAST 1 DAY, OR GRAZE HORSES FOR 7 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION.
REMOVE STOCK FROM TREATED AREAS 3 DAYS BEFORE SLAUGHTER.
Harvest
Chick Peas, Faba Beans, Field Peas, Lentils, Lupins, Vetch: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 7 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION.
All Other Crops: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Mixing
Add the required quantity of product to water in the spray tank and agitate to give even mixing. Agitate again if left standing. Mix with clean water only. Water should be clean and free from clay, silt and algae. Providing it meets this requirement, saline water, water collected from roofs, bore water, dam water and water from creeks may be used.

Application
GRAMOXONE 360 PRO controls annual grasses and most annual broadleaf weeds (excluding Capeweed) in specified situations and should not be used for any other purpose. Quickly destroys green plant tissue on contact. It’s immediately inactivated in the soil. At spraying, weeds should be growing vigorously and must not be covered with soil or heavy dew. The principle of selective weed control with this product is that annual weeds are controlled but perennial plants and clovers recover after an initial scorch. The control of annual weeds by spraying with this product will allow the desirable perennial species to thicken up at the expense of the weeds. Moisture and fertility should not be limiting at spraying and the proportion of desirable species must be great enough for them to fill in the areas previously occupied by weeds. Long-term weed control can be obtained following the quick knockdown given by this product if it is combined with soil residual chemicals.
DO NOT use through aircraft, misting machines, knapsack sprayers, hand-held ultra low volume controlled droplet applicators (CDA units) or other hand-held equipment.

Adjuvant
This product requires the addition of an adjuvant. For optimum activity select from the following adjuvant groups:

Adjuvant Group: Alkylaryl ethoxylates (e.g. Agral®) 
Rate: 250 mL/100 L

Adjuvant Group: Alcohol alkoxylates 
Rate: 250 mL/100 L

Adjuvant Group: Soyal phospholipid/propionic acid based surfactants (e.g. LI 700*) 
Rate: 250 mL/100 L

Adjuvant Group: Esterified and emulsified vegetable oil based products (e.g. Adigor®, Hasten*) 
Rate: 500 to 1000 mL/100 L

Use the higher rates when targeting more advanced weeds within the recommended range and when total water volumes of below 70 L/ha are used.

Application
Cereals and Broadacre Spraying
Use only through a properly calibrated boom spray which should be fitted with flat fan jets and adjusted to a height to give at least double overlap of the spray at the top of the weeds being sprayed. Spraying pressures should be in the range of 200 to 300 kPa. Speed of travel should be in the range of 6 to 15 km/hr. It is essential that a good marking system be used. If a disc marker is used, it must be mounted so as to turn the soil back on to the area sprayed. It is essential to obtain good leaf coverage with the spray and volumes of dilute spray must be adjusted according to density of weed growth. 100 L/ha may be used for seedlings or well grazed weeds up to 2 cm high. For plant height 2 to 5 cm use 150 L/ha and up to 6 to 10 cm use 200 L/ha. Spray volumes may be as low as 50 L/ha (30 L/ha in WA) for weed growth below 5 cm high, or for spray topping and hay freezing. Equipment must be appropriate to this volume, properly calibrated and fitted with spraying tips designed to give droplets in the 200 to 250 μ Volume Median Diameter range.

High Volume Application
Higher volumes will generally be required to give good coverage of weed growth in situations other than those specified under cereals and other broadacre crops.

Spraying conditions
Avoid spraying plants under stress from waterlogging, frost, drought etc. or covered with dust and soil. Results will be better if application is made in dull weather, at the end of the day or at night. Light rain following spraying will not affect results. Avoid drift into neighbouring crops.

Clean up
Wash spray equipment with clean water immediately after use. This product is highly corrosive to metals, particularly galvanised iron and aluminium and should not be left for long periods in tanks or equipment made of these materials.

Compatibility
This product combines satisfactorily with the soil active herbicides Gesaprim Granules Herbicide, Diurex WG and Gesatop where prolonged weed control is required as well as a quick knockdown. This product is compatible with Agral, BS1000, Reglone, Spray.Seed 250, Cadence® (dicamba), MCPA Amine (no more than 1 L per 800 mL GRAMOXONE 360 PRO), Glean*, Yield*, Avadex Xtra* (triallate), Treflan* (trifluralin) and Goal* (oxyfluorfen).

Resistant Weeds Warning
GRAMOXONE 360 PRO Herbicide is a member of the bipyridyls group of herbicides. GRAMOXONE 360 PRO has the inhibitor of photosynthesis at photosystem I mode of action. For weed resistance management GRAMOXONE 360 PRO is a Group L herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to GRAMOXONE 360 PRO and other Group L herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by GRAMOXONE 360 PRO or other Group L herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Syngenta Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of GRAMOXONE 360 PRO to control resistant weeds.
