Glyphosate 360

A soluble concentrate containing 485 g/l (41.5% w/w) of the isopropylamine salt of glyphosate (equivalent to 360 g/l glyphosate) and ethoxylated tallow amine surfactant.

A foliar applied herbicide for the control of annual and perennial grasses and broad-leaved weeds before sowing or planting all crops. For use as a pre-harvest herbicide in cereals and certain other crops, destruction of grassland, and in set-aside, orchards, stubbles, forestry, forest nursery, industrial, amenity and non-crop areas.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. It is advisable to read all the instructions within this section carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.

Warnings
DO NOT MIX, STORE OR APPLY GLYPHOSATE 360 IN GALVANISED OR UNLINED STEEL CONTAINERS OR SPRAY TANKS.
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID SPRAY DRIFT AS THIS CAN SEVERELY DAMAGE OR DESTROY NEIGHBOURING CROPS OR PLANTS.
DO NOT leave spray mixtures in tank for long periods.

Restrictions
A period of at least 6 hours and preferably 24 hours rain-free must follow application of GLYPHOSATE 360.
Do not spray in windy conditions as drift onto desired crops or vegetation could severely damage or destroy them.
Do not spray onto weeds which are naturally senescent, or where growth is impaired by drought, high temperatures, a covering of dust, flooding or frost at, or immediately after application, otherwise poor control may result.
Applications of lime, fertilizer, farmyard manure and pesticides should be delayed until 5 days after application of GLYPHOSATE 360.
After application, large concentrations of decaying foliage, stolons, roots or rhizomes should be dispersed or buried by thorough cultivation before crop drilling.

Weeds Controlled
GLYPHOSATE 360 is a foliar acting herbicide which controls annual and perennial grasses and most broad leaved weeds when used as directed. It is important that all weeds are at the appropriate stage when treated, otherwise some re-growth may occur which would need retreatment.
Apply GLYPHOSATE 360 herbicide once grasses and broad-leaved weeds have emerged and they have ACTIVELY GROWING green leaves.

 PERENNIAL BROAD-LEAVED WEEDS are most susceptible at the flowering stage.
- PERENNIAL GRASSES must have a full emergence of healthy, green leaf. For example, common couch becomes susceptible at the onset of tillering and then new rhizome growth commences, which usually occurs when plants have 4 -5 leaves with 10 - 15 cm of new growth.
ANNUAL GRASSES AND BROAD-LEAVED WEEDS should have at least 5 cm of leaf, or 2 expanded true leaves, respectively. In setaside, annual grasses are best treated at full ear emergence, or before stem elongation.
Application during the stem extension phase of annual grasses e.g. Black-grass and Brome species on set aside between the end of April and end of May, may result in poor control and require re-treatment.
- BRACKEN should be treated after frond tips are unfurled, but pre-senescence.
- OTHER SPECIES - recommendations for specific Areas of Use are given in the Recommendation Tables.
This product will not give an acceptable level of control of Horsetails (Equisetum arvense).

Following Crops
Upon soil adsorption the herbicidal properties of GLYPHOSATE 360 are lost permitting the drilling of crops 48 hours after application.
Planting of trees, shrubs etc may take place 7 days after application. Grass seed may be sown from 5 days after treatment. Refer to the 'Recommendation Tables' for specific restrictions on direct drilled crops.

Weed Resistance Strategy
There is low risk for the development of weed resistance to GLYPHOSATE 360.
Strains of some annual weeds (e.g. Black-grass, Wild oats and Italian Ryegrass) 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, CPA, your distributor, crop adviser or product manufacturer, Sharda Europe bvba. Growers are encouraged to implement a weed resistance strategy based on (a) Good Agricultural Practices and (b) Good Plant Protection Practices by:

- Following label recommendations
- Monitoring performance and reporting any unexpected results to Sharda Europe bvba.
- Minimizing the risk of spreading weed infestations
- The implementation of good spraying practice to maintain effective weed control
- The adoption of complimentary weed control practices
- Using the correct nozzles to maximize coverage
- Application only under appropriate weather conditions

Sprayer Hygiene
It is essential to thoroughly clean-out spray tanks, pumps and pipelines and nozzle or disc assemblies, with a recommended detergent cleaner, between applying this product and other pesticides to avoid contamination from pesticide residues. Traces of GLYPHOSATE 360 left in the equipment may seriously damage or destroy crops sprayed later.

Mixing and Spraying
GLYPHOSATE 360 mixes readily with water and can be applied in spray volumes ranging from 80-400 l/ha using tractor mounted, knapsack, rotary atomizers and hand-held sprayers. Specialized application equipment such as weed wipers, stem injection and spot gun applicators may be used where indicated.
Correctly calibrate all sprayers under field or use conditions prior to application.

Agronomic Advice
Applications of lime, fertilizer, farmyard manure and pesticides should be delayed until 5 days after application of GLYPHOSATE 360.

General Cautions
After application, large concentrations of decaying foliage, stolons, roots or rhizomes should be dispersed or buried by thorough cultivation before crop drilling.
Take extreme care to avoid drift, particularly when using near hedgerows. The use of low drift nozzles such as 'air induction' and 'pre-orifice' nozzles are recommended.
