DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.
Warnings
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID SPRAY DRIFT AS THIS CAN SEVERELY DAMAGE NEIGHBOURING CROPS OR PLANTS.
DO NOT MIX, STORE OR APPLY ROUNDUP ENERGY IN GALVANISED OR UNLINED STEEL CONTAINERS OR SPRAY TANKS.
DO NOT leave spray mixtures in tank for long periods and make sure tanks are WELL VENTED.
Restrictions
A period without rain of at least 6 hours, and preferably 24 hours, must follow application of Roundup Energy herbicide.
Do not spray on to weeds suffering from drought, water-logging, heat or frost, otherwise poor control may result.
Do not spray in windy conditions as drift onto desired plants or crops could severely damage or destroy them.
For the pre-crop emergence uses, ensure that spraying precedes ANY crop emergence.
Do not tank mix Roundup Energy with adjuvants, pesticides or fertilisers except as specified under Directions for Use – Compatibility. Applications of lime, fertiliser, farmyard manure and pesticides should be delayed until 5 days after application of Roundup Energy.
Keep stock out of treated areas for at least 5 days.
TREATED POISONOUS PLANT SPECIES MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE REGRAZING OR CONSERVING.

Weeds controlled
Roundup Energy herbicide controls most emerged grasses and broad-leaved weeds. It is important that all weeds are at the correct growth stage when treated, other wise some re-growth may occur and this will need re-treatment.
Apply Roundup Energy herbicide where there is full emergence of grasses and
broad-leaved weeds and they have ACTIVELY GROWING green leaves.
PERENNIAL GRASSES must have full emergence of healthy, green leaf. (Common Couch, for example, becomes susceptible at the onset of tillering and new rhizome growth, which usually occurs when plants have 4-5 leaves, each with 10-15 cm of new growth).
PERENNIAL BROAD-LEAVED WEEDS are most susceptible around the flowering stage.
ANNUAL GRASSES AND BROAD-LEAVED WEEDS should have at least 5 cm of leaf, or 2 expanded true leaves, respectively. In set-aside, annual grasses are best treated at full ear emergence, or before stem elongation. Application during 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.
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) – repeat treatment will be necessary.

Following crops
Upon soil adsorption the herbicidal properties of Roundup Energy are lost permitting the drilling of crops 48 hrs after application.
Mixing and spraying
Correctly calibrate all sprayers under field or use conditions prior to application.
a) Tractor mounted and powered Hydraulic Sprayers
These should be capable of applying accurately 80-400 l/ha within a pressure range of 1.5-2.5 bars (20-35 psi). Half fill the spray tank with clean water, start gentle agitation, and then add the correct amount of Roundup Energy. Top up the tank with water to the required level. To avoid foaming do not use top tank agitation. Use of a defoamer may be necessary
Medium Volume Application (150-300 l/ha)
Avoid high water volumes (> 300 l/ha) which may lead to run-off from the treated vegetation, resulting in reduced control. Low drift nozzles such as air induction and preorifice types producing a medium or coarse spray (BCPC definition) should be used to minimise the risk of drift :
Low Volume Application (minimum 80 l/ha)
Low volume application can be achieved by reducing pressure and appropriate nozzle selection. Low drift nozzles which produce a medium spray (BCPC definition) should be used to minimise the risk of drift,
b) Knapsack Sprayers
Recommended delivery range is 80 - 300 l/ha. Half fill the spray tank with clean water, add the correct amount of ROUNDUP ENERGY and top up with water, close the top and shake gently to ensure good mixing. When used at a walking speed of 1 metre/second to apply a swath of 1 metre width, most knapsack sprayers fitted with a HYPRO AN 2.0 or similar nozzle deliver approximately 200 l/ha spray volume (or 10 l per 500 m2). To apply 3.2 l/ha of ROUNDUP ENERGY, therefore, use a 1.6% solution, i.e. 160ml ROUNDUP ENERGY made up to 10 litres. Similarly, knapsack sprayers fitted with low volume nozzles such as HYPROAN 1.0 typically deliver approximately 100 l/ha spray volume. To apply 3.2 l/ha ROUNDUP ENERGYin this case use 3.2% solution.
c) Rotary Atomisers
When rotary atomisers are used to apply Roundup Energy ensure that the droplet diameter falls within the range 200-300 microns for all uses. The water volume must be 40 litres/ha
d) Hand-held Wipers– Roundup Energy may be applied through the weed wiper mini. Use a concentration of 1 part Roundup Energy to 2.75 parts of water and add a scarlet dye if required. Care should be taken to avoid dripping onto wanted vegetation.
e) Spot Gun Applicators – for treatment of individual weeds Apply 4 ml of spray to target weed, using a narrow cone TG-3 or TG-5 nozzle.
Correctly calibrate all sprayers under field or use conditions prior to application.
