GENERAL INFORMATION

Rosate 360 TF is a foliar acting herbicide that controls annual and perennial grasses and most broad-leaved weeds when used as directed. It is translocated from treated vegetative growth to underground roots, rhizomes or stolons. Leaf symptoms, being a reddening then yellowing of the foliage, are first seen on grass weeds but take longer to appear on broad leaved weeds.
It is particularly important that the weeds have sufficient leaf growth and are actively growing when treated.
Perennial grass weeds must have produced fresh leaves, which are green and vigorous. Common couch or scutch is most susceptible to Rosate 360 TF when it is tillering and when new rhizomes have begun to grow. This is usually when the plants have about 5 - 6 leaves, each with approximately 12-15 cm (5-6”) of new growth.
The majority of perennial broad-leaved weeds are most susceptible if treated when they are actively growing and are at or near flowering stage. Annual weeds should be actively growing with grasses having at least 5 cm (2”) of leaf and broad-leaved weeds at least two expanded true leaves when sprayed. Couch or scutch grasses and other grass and broad-leaved weeds are less susceptible to Rosate 360 TF when growth is restricted by drought, waterlogging, frost, very high temperatures or natural dieback. Efficacy will be reduced if such conditions occur at or immediately after spraying.
Occasionally a slight check to crop growth may occur, particularly after direct drilling when crop seeds germinate amongst a mass of decaying foliage, stolons, rhizomes or roots. Thorough cultivations are necessary to disperse or bury decaying organic matter.
Consolidate loose soils and ensure crops are adequately fertilised and appropriate measures are taken to prevent insect and fungal damage to the following crop, especially where following grassland.
Do not apply lime, fertiliser, farmyard manure, pesticides or similar materials within 7 days of Rosate 360 TF.
Note: Rosate 360 TF does not give acceptable control of horsetail (Equisetum arvense).

WEATHER CONDITIONS

A period of at least 6 hours and preferably 24 hours free of rain must follow spraying. Do not spray onto weeds suffering from drought stress as reduced control may occur. Do not spray in windy conditions as drift onto other crops or vegetation can cause severe injury or destruction. Do not spray during frosty weather that prevents active growth and can induce weed senescence.

WICK/WIPER APPLICATORS (E.G. WEEDWIPER MINI)
Certain weeds, particularly those with an erect growth habit and having a spatial separation from desirable species, can be effectively controlled by wiping a concentrated solution of Rosate 360 TF onto the leaves or stems. Weeds must be actively growing at application. Do not apply when rain is expected within 6 hours as, apart from unsatisfactory weed control, herbicide might be transferred to desirable species by rain splash or foliar contact.
Rosate 360 TF dilution
The maximum concentration used must not exceed the following:
Weedwiper mini: 1 volume of product : 2 volumes of water
Other wipers: 1 volume of product : 1 volume of water for normal conditions; under warm, dry conditions use
1 : 2 dilution with water.
Weedwipers may be used in any crop where the wiper does not touch the growing crop.
Note: for ease of identification of treated weeds, a suitable commercially available water soluble dye may be added to the prepared solution at 1ml dye per 10 litres of prepared spray solution.

MIXING

Tractor mounted sprayers
Pour the recommended quantity of Rosate 360 TF into the spray tank already half-filled with clean water and under agitation. Top up the spray tank with more clean water to the required level, whilst maintaining agitation. Spray out on the day of mixing.
Knapsack sprayers
Add the recommended quantity of Rosate 360 TF to the knapsack spray tank approximately one-third filled with clean water.
Agitate thoroughly with a clean rod or by shaking after replacing the lid until thoroughly mixed. Top up the tank with more clean water to the required level and agitate thoroughly before use. Spray out on the day of mixing.
DO NOT MIX, APPLY OR STORE ROSATE 360 TF IN GALVANISED OR UNLINED MILD STEEL CONTAINERS OR TANKS.
KEEP TANKS WELL VENTED AND CLEAR OF ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION.
