Trade Advice:

General Instructions: GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
For best results the turf and weeds should be actively growing at the time of treatment.
Complete weed death may take up to 6 weeks. Faster results can be expected on smaller
weeds.
Due to residual effects on diflufenican, overseeding treated areas within 3 months of
application may inhibit establishment of the turf grass.
MIXING
Shake original container before use. Agitate continuously to ensure thorough mixing before
and during application.
Only mix sufficient chemical for each day’s work.
Surfactants (if used) should be added after Surefire Multi Turf Herbicide and water are
mixed when the spray-tank is almost full.
MOWING
Avoid mowing during the 3 to 4 days preceding or following treatment.
CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT
THOROUGHLY CLEAN ALL APPLICATION EQUIPMENT AFTER USE.
Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated area or if unavailable onto unused
land away from desirable plants and water courses.
Partial Cleaning (before spraying tolerant turf): After using Surefire Multi Turf Herbicide
empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the tank
with a pressure hose. Quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through the pump,
line, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat procedure twice.
Complete Cleaning (before spraying susceptible plants): After using Surefire Multi Turf
Herbicide empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside
the tank with a pressure hose. Quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate through
the pump, line, hoses and nozzles, then drain. Quarter fill the tank again and add an
alkaline detergent at 500 mL/100 L water and circulate through the system for at least 15
minutes. Drain, remove filters and nozzles and clean separately. Rinse inside the tank
thoroughly using a pressure hose and flush system with clean water.
COMPATIBILITY
No information is available that indicates physical compatibility with other products. Tank-mixing other products with Surefire Multi Turf Herbicide cannot therefore be recommended.
As formulations of other manufacturers’ products are beyond the control of PCT Holdings
Pty Ltd, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities.

Resistance Warning: RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING
GROUP 4 12 HERBICIDE
Surefire Multi Turf Herbicide is a member of the nicotinanilide, phenoxy and pyridine groups
of herbicides. Surefire Multi Turf Herbicide has the inhibitors of carotenoid biosynthesis and
disruptor of cell growth modes of action. For weed resistance management Surefire Multi
Turf Herbicide is a Group 4 and 12 Herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes
resistant to Surefire Multi Turf Herbicide and other Group 4 and 12 may exist through
normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually
dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant
weeds will not be controlled by Surefire Multi Turf Herbicide or other Group 4 or 12
herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, PCT
Holdings Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of
Surefire Multi Turf Herbicide to control resistant weeds.

Precautions: PRECAUTION
Manual Handling of turf: Hand-weeding and transplanting should not be performed before
2 weeks after spray application, unless workers wear overalls (or equivalent clothing) and
chemical resistant gloves.
RE-ENTRY STATEMENT
DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried. When prior entry is
necessary wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and
chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

Protections: PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS
DO NOT apply under weather conditions or from spraying equipment that may cause spray
to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures. Spray drift from
Surefire Multi Turf Herbicide application may cause injury to herbaceous plants,
vegetables, fruit crops, vines, ornamentals and trees.
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT
Dangerous to fish and other aquatic life. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or
watercourses with the chemical or used containers.

Storage and
Disposal:
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Store in the closed, original container in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area out of direct
sunlight.
Triple-rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. Do not dispose of
undiluted chemicals on site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler
or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush, or puncture and deliver empty
packaging to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management
facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal
pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose, clear of waterways, desirable vegetation
and tree roots, in compliance with relevant local, state or territory government regulations.
Do not burn empty containers or product.

| Turf | Broadleaf weeds including: White Clover (Trifolium repens), Plantain (Plantago lanceolata), Capeweed (Arctotheca calendula), Cat’s Ear (Hypochaeris radicata), Bin-dii (Jo-Jo, Onehunga) (Soliva sessilis), Cudweed (Gnaphalium spp.), Creeping Oxalis (Oxalis corniculata) | 5 L in 200-500 L water/ha | Apply to actively growing weeds. Transient discolouration may occur on kikuyu and carpet grass and Queensland blue couch. Varietal differences in certain buffalo grasses (e.g., ST85) may produce more pronounced effects and it is recommended that small areas be tested for turf safety before large-scale application occurs. Avoid exceeding application rates through overlapping sprayed areas. Use a surfactant for difficult to wet weeds. |
