A soluble concentrate containing 450 g/1 glyphosate present as 607 g/1 (50.9% w/w) of the isopropylamine salt.

FOR PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY AS AN AGRICULTURAL/HORTICULTURAL/INDUSTRIAL/FORESTRY HERBICIDE.

WINTER and SPRING WHEAT, BARLEY, OATS, COMBINING PEAS, FIELD BEANS, LINSEED
Weeds: Common Couch, Perennial Broad-eaved weeds, and other perennial Grasses, Annual grasses, Cereal stems and leaves,  Autumn volunteer cereals.
Rate:3.2l/ha
Critical comments: maximum number of treatments 1 per crop. Pre-harvest interval or latest time of application 7 days before harvest. Apply when the moisture content of the crop grains is less than 30%, and at least 7 days before harvest. Use high clearance tractors with narrow wheels and crop dividers. NEVER TREAT CROPS WHICH ARE GROWN FOR SEED. Treated straw should not be used for horticultural mulch but may be used for all other applications. Following harvest, incorporate or remove straw as required. Treated area may be used for further cultivation afterstraw clearance. Water volume Hydraulic Sprayers 80-250 1/ha or rotary atomisers at 40 1/ha.

OILSEED RAPE

Critical comments: maximum number of treatments 1 per crop. Pre-harvest interval or latest time of application 14 days before harvest. Apply when seeds contain less than 30% moisture. Apply to standing crop 14-21 days before harvest. Use high clearance tractors with narrow wheels and crop dividers. DO NOT TREAT CROPS WHICH ARE GROWN FOR SEED. Water volume: use only hydraulic sprayers at 200-250 1/ha.

ALL EDIBLE and NON-EDIBLE CROPS
Weeds: Common Couch, Other perennialgrasses, Autumn volunteer cereals.
Rate: 3.2l/ha
Critical comments: maximum number of treatments 1 per sitation. Cultivation and drilling may take place 5 days after spraying perennial weeds. For best results allow sufficient weed growth before spraying. n spring a period of at least 21 days of weed growth should be allowed prior to treatment. NEVER CULTIVATE BEFORE SPRAYING. Water volume Hydraulic sprayers 80-250 1/ha or rotary atomiser at 40 1/ha.

GRASSLAND
Weeds: Rye grass, Perennial grasses, Perennial broad-leaved weeds,Permanent pasture,Annual meadow-grass, Red fescue, Creeping buttercup, Yarrow.
Rate: 4.8l/ha
Critical comments: maximum number of treatments 1per year. Do not apply lime, chemical or natural fertilisers or other pesticides before treatment, or onto treated areas within 5 days of Glyfos Supreme application. Treat following re-growth or after grazing or mowing. Clear treated grass crop before planting or drilling the next crop. Grass and clover may be direct drilled after treatment on 1-2 year leys without mat, 5 days after spraying following removal of all surface vegetation. Long leys with some mat should be sprayed in the autumn and not direct drilled until the following spring. Water volume: Hydraulic sprayers 150-250 1/ha.

General Information
Glyfos Supreme is an effective herbicide when used as directed against most annual and perennial grasses and broad-leaved weeds. Glyfos Supreme is translocated from the treated leaves throughout the plant and to underground roots, rhizomes and stolons. Symptoms such as gradual wilting and yellowing of foliage are rapidly visible in grass weeds but are slower to appear in broad-leaved weeds. Cultivation and drilling can take place 6 hours after application to control annual broad-leaved weeds, 24 hours after spraying annual grasses and 5 days after spraying perennial weeds. If direct drilling is practised 6 hours after application, only small annual weeds should be present. Allow minimum 7 days if weather conditions are not favourable and before planting of trees, ornamentals, vegetables etc.

Restrictions
Weather Conditions For best results a rain-free period of 6 hours (and preferably 24 hours) is required after application of Glyfos Supreme. Extreme care should be taken to avoid spray drift as this can severely damage or destroy neighbouring crops or plants. Action of Glyfos Supreme will be slower in cooler weather. It should not be used under frosty conditions while weed growth is reduced by natural senescence. Treating weeds which are suffering from drought stress may result in reduced efficacy. Associated farming practices Lime, fertilisers or other pesticides should not be applied for at least 5 days before or after the application of Glyfos Supreme.

Following Crops
Glyfos Supreme is inactivated on contact with soil by binding to soil particles. All crops may be planted or sown at the intervals specified in 'Conditions of Use' following treatment. A slight growth retardation following germination may be seen if seeds are sown by direct drilling amongst decaying vegetation, roots, rhizomes or stolons.

Mixing and Application
DO NOT STORE, MIX OR APPLY THIS PRODUCT FROM AN UNLINED OR GALVANISED STEEL TANK. Do not leave mixtures in spray tanks over long periods. Ensure that spray tanks are always thoroughly ventilated. NEVER APPLY PRE-HARVEST TREATMENTS TO CROPS GROWN FOR SEED. Barley intended for brewing and contract-grown crops should only be treated following approval from the grain merchant. Consult processor before using on crops intended for processing.

Weed Control
It is important when treating perennial weeds that there is full emergence of healthy green foliage and active growth at the time of application. The efficacy of this product is increased if the leaf surface for absorption is large. Common couch grass is particularly susceptible at the 4-5 leaf stage, where there is about 10-15 cm of new growth, when tillering and new rhizome growth is starting. Most perennial broad-leaved weeds are particularly susceptible to treatment when they are actively growing and shortly before flowering. Annual weeds should be growing actively at the time of treatment. Grasses should have at least 5cm of growth. Broad-leaved weeds should have at least two sizeable true leaves. Under conditions of drought, flooding, frost or high temperatures, disease or insect damage or weeds heavily covered with dust, where plant growth is restricted the efficacy of this product will be reduced. No extra surfactant should be added if the product is to be applied using a rotary atomiser.

Crops
GLYFOS SUPREME may be applied to all areas to be planted with food and feed crops and pre-harvest to wheat and oats and barley intended for brewing. Consult the processor before using on any crop intended for processing. Only treat barley intended for brewing and contract crops after having obtained approval from the grain merchant. Some strains of grasses, e.g. black-grass, wild-oats and Italian Rye-grass have developed resistance to herbicides which may lead to poor control. A strategy for preventing and managing such resistance should be adopted. This should include integrating herbicides with a programme of cultural control measures. Guidelines have been produced by the Weed Resistance Action Group and copies are available from the HGCA or the Crop Protection Association. Do not use Glyphosate products repeatedly over several years in the same field as selection of resistant biotypes can take place and may become prevalent.
