| Sorghum Control Pre-harvest | Qld, NSW only | Sorghum (grain sorghum) (Sorghum bicolor) DO NOT apply to varieties intended for seed production or varieties prone to lodging | 1.5 OR 2 L | DO NOT apply if crop is under stress from low moisture, frost, cold or waterlogging. Rate Selection: Use the lower rate for control of crop and late tillers and suppression of ratoon regrowth. Use the higher rate for improved suppression of ratoon growth. Timing: Apply when grain moisture is less than 25%. Application can be made when moderate browning has occurred. CAUTION: Treatment may increase potential for crop lodging, particularly if crop moisture stress has occurred. Harvest as soon as sufficiently dry down has occurred to prevent possible lodging. CAUTION: Sorghum may be naturally toxic to stock. |
| Sorghum Control Post-harvest | Sorghum stubble (grain sorghum) (Sorghum bicolor) | 1 - 1.5 L for fresh regrowth from slashed stubble 1.5 - 2 L for standing stubble if sufficiently green 1 - 1.5 L for fresh spring regrowth |
APPLY UNDER GOOD GROWING CONDITIONS ONLY. DO NOT apply if plants are under stress from low moisture, cold or waterlogging. Slashed stubble and spring regrowth: Apply when fresh regrowth is at least 20 cm high. Standing stubble: Apply only if sufficient green leaf is present. If grazing has occurred allow regrowth to 20 cm before treatment. Rate selection: Use the lower rate for knockdown and regrowth suppression. Where cultivation is to follow, stubble to the level of the knockdown regrowth control. NOTE: Variable results occur where the crop has been subject to stress or growing conditions are marginal. Some varieties, particularly Goldrush 2, Ruby, Trump Prize and Nugget 2, give variable results if they have not grown under ideal conditions. CAUTION: Sorghum may be naturally toxic to stock. | |

MIXING A. Spray tank should be free of any previous spray chemicals. A suitable tank cleaning agent is recommended. B. Half fill spray tank with clean water, add required amount of Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide, then fill with clean water. Add non-ionic surfactant last. Muddy water used for Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide dilution may reduce effectiveness. C. Agitate well before spraying, avoid excessive foaming. D. When tank mixing with other compatible chemicals add this product after other water soluble products but before flowables eg Flowable Diuron. Do not mix with spraying oils. IMPORTANT: Store Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide in original closed containers or other plastic lined containers, aluminium, brass, copper, stainless steel, or fibreglass containers. The contact of Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide with unlined or galvanised steel may produce hydrogen, a highly flammable gas causing a potential explosion if ignited by open flame sparks and any other ignition source. SURFACTANT ADDITION The addition of a 100% non-ionic surfactant is recommended with this product at the ratio 300mL/100L of tank solution or higher for diluted surfactant. (Read agricultural surfactant label before use). Add WETTER TX surfactant at rate 200mL/100 litres spray solution when treating Annual Ryegrass, Silvergrass and Perennial grasses. Use WETTER TX only when recommended.
APPLICATION Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide is a non-selective translocated herbicide. Direct spray contact, or even slight drift, may cause severe injury or destruction of any growing crop or other desirable plants including trees. Clean all equipment after use by thoroughly washing with water.
Boom Equipment Use recommended rates of Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide in up to 200 litres of clean water per hectare. When using Surefire 360 Herbicide at 500 mL-1.5 L/ha (eg in conservation tillage) spray volumes in the range 50-100 L/ha or lower are preferred. Fan nozzle equipment is used, using pressures in the range 240-280 kPa. Boom height must be set to ensure double overlap of nozzle patterns at the top of the weed canopy.
Knapsack and Handgun Equipment Adjust equipment to achieve a fine spray pattern; a D6 spray tip (Spraying Systems Australia P/L) or equivalent, and an operating pressure of 400-700 kPa are recommended. Apply to ensure complete and uniform wetting of all foliage.
Wiper Equipment Wiper Equipment (ropewick applicators) may be used to apply Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide onto weeds growing in oilseed crops, sugarcane, cotton, seed and pod vegetables, tree and vine crops specified in this label, pasture and non-crop areas. Avoid contact with desirable vegetation. Operate wiper equipment a minimum of 10 cm above the crop or pasture. Weeds should be at least 15 cm above the crop or pasture at time of application. Speed of travel should be no greater than 8 km/h. Best results are achieved at lower speeds and where two applications are made in opposite directions (double pass). Where weeds are of variable height, or occur in dense infestations or clumps, some plants may not be contacted by the herbicide solution. In these cases repeat treatment may be necessary. Mix only enough herbicide solution for immediate requirements. Do not store mixed solution for more than a few days. Flush out equipment with water after use. RATE: Mix 1 litre Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide with 2 litres clean water to prepare 33% solution. Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide may be used according to the above directions for suppression or control of many annual and perennial weeds. See Weeds Controlled tables for specific use recommendations.
Controlled Droplet Application Equipment (CDA) Use the following table as a guide for achieving the correct application rates using the Micron Herbi or similar equipment. See Species Controlled tables for specific rates and use recommendations. For hand held equipment a walking speed of approximately 1 m/sec (4 km/h) is recommended.
| Rate of Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide delivered at 1 m/sec | 3 L/ha | 6 L/ha | 9 L/ha |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mixture (by volume) Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide: water | 1:3 | 1:1 | 2:1 |
| Micron Herbi, nozzle | Blue | Blue | Yellow |
DO NOT add oils to Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide /water mixture, otherwise difficulty in application and reduced weed control may occur.
CAUTION: CDA equipment produces a fine spray pattern which is not easily visible. Ensure spray pattern or drift does not contact foliage or any other green tissue of desirable plants, since severe injury or destruction may result.
Aerial Equipment Aerial equipment may be used to apply Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide only in pasture or fallow situations prior to establishment of field crops, fodder crops, or new pasture and for pre-harvest application to cotton and sorghum crops. DO NOT use in intensive horticultural cropping areas. Use recommended rates of Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide specified in this label up to a maximum limit of 4 L/ha. For Micronair and boom equipment, apply in a minimum spray volume of at least 15 L/ha. Droplets with an average size (or VMD) of 250-350 micron diameter are recommended. Swath width should be 15-17 m.
Tank Mixtures - Additives Crystalline Ammonium Sulfate RATE: 2% w/v (2 kg/100 L spray solution). The addition of crystalline ammonium sulfate to Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide, when used to control ANNUAL weeds, MAY improve the performance of Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide under adverse environmental conditions such as cool, cloudy weather, and assist in minimising the antagonism in tank mixes of Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide and flowable triazine herbicides. Use only crystalline ammonium sulfate, NOT prilled or granulated forms. To test quality dissolve 2 teaspoons in 2 litres of water. Swirl gently for 2 minutes. If undissolved particles remain, it is advisable to pre-dissolve prior to adding to spray tank through a screen. Ammonium sulfate may be corrosive to metal parts of the sprayer. Thoroughly flush tanks, pumps and nozzles with water after use.
Pulse® Penetrant RATE: 200 mL/100 L spray solution. Add when treating bracken (boom application) and Gorse.
Wetter TX® Surfactant RATE: 200 mL/100 L spray solution. Add when treating Annual ryegrass in Spring (from beginning August to end October). Wetter TX is not a general purpose surfactant and should be used only where recommended.
Tank Mixtures - Insecticides This product is compatible with the following insecticides: Gusathion A*, Imidan*, Le-Mat*, Lorsban* 500, Metasystox*, Sumicidin* and emulsifiable concentrates of dimethoate and fenitrothion. Other insecticides have not been tested.
Resistant Weeds Warning GROUP M HERBICIDE Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide is a member of the Glycines group of herbicides. Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide has the inhibition of EPSP synthase mode of action. For weed resistance management Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide is a Group M herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide and other Group M herbicides 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 Glyphosate 360 Herbicide or other Group M 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 Glyphosate 360 Herbicide to control resistant weeds.
PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS: This product is non selective and may severely injure or kill desirable plants should the product come into contact with the foliage, green stems or fruit of such 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.
Application on hilly terrain: As spraying height may vary, to maximise target contact, increase water volume to 30-80L/ha and increase droplet size to at least 300 micron VMD. Application under summer conditions: High temperatures and/or low relative humidity cause excessive evaporation of spray droplets which may reduce results. When temperature reaches 25°C, increase water volume to at least 30 L/ha, and increase droplet size to at least 300 micron VMD. DO NOT apply Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide by aircraft when temperature is above 35°C. Avoid drift: DO NOT use with spraying equipment or under meteorological conditions which could be expected to cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible plants, adjacent crops, crop lands or pastures. Equipment settings which produce fine droplets (150 microns or less), winds over 8 km/h, inversion conditions, still air and hot dry days all contribute to drift. Thoroughly wash aircraft, especially landing gear, after each day of spraying to remove herbicide residues.
TANK MIXTURES Surefire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide may be tank-mixed with the following herbicides, insecticides and additives. Read and follow all label directions, restraints, plant-back periods, withholding periods, regional use restrictions and safety directions for the tank mix products.
