PRODUCT INFORMATION
Do not apply this product using aerial equipment except where indicated under “AERIAL APPLICATION” and “RESTRICTED USE”:
GLYPHOSATE TRIMESIUM 480 is a water soluble herbicide for non-selective weed control:
In cropping systems - before planting of all crops, pre-harvest application in wheat, barley, oats, flax (including low linolenic acid varieties), lentils, canola, peas, soybeans and dry beans and post harvest stubble treatment.
In pasture renovation;
In forage, legume and grass establishment;
In minimum tillage systems;
In tree, vine and berry crops; Apple, Cherry, Peach, Apricot, Pear, Plum, Grapes, blueberries, nuts, strawberries, cranberries and sugar beets.
In non-agricultural areas such as:
- industrial, recreational, rights of way, and public areas,
- tree plantings
- turfgrass
- Silviculture and woodlot management
GLYPHOSATE TRIMESIUM 480 Herbicide is to be applied as a foliage spray for the control of most herbaceous plants. It may be applied through most standard industrial or field type sprayers after dilution and thorough mixing with water in accordance with the booklet instructions.
GLYPHOSATE TRIMESIUM 480 Herbicide moves through the plant from the point of foliage contact into the root system. Visible effects on most annual weeds occur within 2 to 4 days but on most perennial weeds may not occur until 7 to 10 days. Extremely cool or cloudy weather at treatment time may slow down activity of this product and delay visual effects of control. Visible effects are a gradual wilting and yellowing of the plant which advances to complete browning of above ground growth and deterioration of underground plant parts.
This product does not provide residual weed control. For subsequent residual weed control apply a registered residual herbicide. Read & carefully observe cautionary statements and all other information appearing on the labels of all herbicides used.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS
Reduced results may occur if water containing soil is used, such as water from ponds and ditches. Poor control may also occur when treating weeds heavily covered with dust.
Avoid contact with desirable vegetation by direct application or spray drift as destruction may result.
Avoid drift or overspray to non-target vegetation and wildlife habitats.
Do not use in greenhouses.
Mix only the amount of solution to be used during a one day period, as reduced activity may result from use of leftover solution.
Drain and clean application equipment immediately after using this product.
Do not contaminate water sources by disposal of waste or cleaning of equipment.
Overspray or drift to important wildlife habitats such as bodies of water, wetlands (eg sloughs), shelterbelts, woodlots and other cover on the edge of fields frequented by wildlife, should be avoided. Leave a 15 metre buffer zone between the last spray swath and the edge of any of these habitats.
CAUTION: Do not graze the treated crops or cut for hay; sufficient data are not available to support such use.

AGRICULTURAL USES
The following are use situations for GLYPHOSATE TRIMESIUM 480 Herbicide. Information on the equipment selected to apply GLYPHOSATE TRIMESIUM 480 Herbicide can be found in the APPLICATION EQUIPMENT section. Use rates can then be selected from the GLYPHOSATE TRIMESIUM 480 Herbicide USE RATES section.
The type of vegetation present and the use situation will dictate the choice of application equipment.

AGRICULTURAL USES
Prior to Planting (all crops): This product may be applied prior to planting all crops for control of emerged weeds listed on this label. Apply before seeding or transplanting crops.
Summerfallow
This product, or labelled tank mixes may be applied in summerfallow to control weeds listed on this label.
Post Harvest Stubble Treatment
This product, or labelled tank mixes may be applied to control weeds listed on this label.
Fall Stubble
This product, or labelled tank mixes may be applied in fall stubble to control weeds listed on this label.
Spot Treatments (In-crop)
May be used to control perennial weeds in barley, corn, oats, soybeans, wheat, strawberry, blueberry, forage grasses and legumes including seed production. Treatments may be made up to heading of small grain, initial pod set on soybeans, silking of corn, and emergence of seed heads. The crop in the treated area will be destroyed. Avoid drift beyond the treated area. DO NOT APPLY IF CROP GROWTH HAS ADVANCED BEYOND SEED SET. DO NOT GRAZE OR HARVEST TREATED AREAS IN FORAGES. (See General Use Precautions section for more information).
Application can be made using a boom sprayer, knapsack or high volume equipment (See APPLICATION EQUIPMENT).
Minimum and Zero Tillage Systems (All field crops including cereals, oilseeds, pulses, forages and corn)
Apply prior to or after seeding but before crop emerges for control of emerged weeds.
DO NOT APPLY AFTER CROP EMERGENCE.
Since GLYPHOSATE TRIMESIUM 480 does not provide residual weed control, application too far in advance of seeding will allow weeds to emerge between application and crop emergence.

PRE-HARVEST USE ON WHEAT, BARLEY, OATS, FLAX (including low linolenic acid varieties), LENTILS, CANOLA, PEAS, SOYBEANS, DRY BEANS
GROUND OR AERIAL APPLICATION
AERIAL PRE-HARVEST APPLICATION IS A RESTRICTED USE, FOLLOW DIRECTIONS IN “RESTRICTED USE - PREHARVEST AERIAL APPLICATION FOR SALE FOR USE IN THE PRAIRIE PROVINCES ONLY (including PEACE RIVER REGION OF B.C.”
For control of quack grass, Canada thistle, common milkweed and season long control of perennial sow thistle. GLYPHOSATE-TRIMESIUM 480 Herbicide can be applied prior to harvest of wheat, barley, oats, flax (including low linolenic acid varieties), lentils, canola, peas, soybeans, dry beans. DO NOT apply to crops, if grown for seed production.
This treatment may also provide harvest management benefits, by drying down crop and weed vegetative growth, for example, where late flushes of annual weeds, green vegetative crop growth, or late tillering may interfere with harvest operations. EXTREMELY COOL, WET AND/OR CLOUDY WEATHER CONDITIONS BETWEEN THE TIME OF APPLICATION AND THE ANTICIPATED HARVEST DATE MAY SLOW DOWN ACTIVITY OF THIS PRODUCT, THEREBY DELAYING CROP DRYDOWN AND HARVEST DATE.
GLYPHOSATE-TRIMESIUM 480 Herbicide should be applied pre-harvest at 2.50 L/ha in 50 to 100 L/ha of clean water by ground equipment only. Apply only when the crop has 30% or less grain moisture content. This stage typically occurs 7 to 14 days before harvest. Consult the following table for visual indicators of this stage in each crop. For the best weed control results quack grass should be actively growing and have at least 4 to 5 green leaves. Canada thistle and perennial sow thistle should be actively growing and at or beyond the bud stage for best results. Applications for weed control (not for harvest management) must be made at the correct stage of both weed and crop growth. Apply only during the period 7-14 days before harvest to ensure best weed control and to maximize harvest management benefits. Earlier application may reduce crop yield and/or quality, and may lead to excess glyphosate residues in the crop.
Over spray or drift to important wildlife habitats such as bodies of water, wetlands (eg. sloughs), shelter belts, woodlots and other cover on the edges of fields frequented by wildlife, should be avoided.
Do not expose or contaminate any body of water or non target vegetation by direct application, spray drift or when cleaning and rinsing spray equipment.
DO NOT APPLY BY AIRCRAFT.
