GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
- When applying to fence lines, it should be noted that some desirable species may be damaged or controlled where their root systems extend into the area treated. It is advisable to notify and consult with neighbours before treating boundary fences. Only apply Trimac™ to fence lines where some damage to adjacent pasture species is acceptable.
- When applying this product to yards and gravel areas leave a 1m buffer on the boundaries to avoid damage.
- Use the lower rate when applying this with a boom spray or as a spot or strip treatment to hard/compacted surfaces and to roadsides where run-off is likely to occur into sensitive areas.
- As soil organic matter increases, the rate of herbicide breakdown increases. Thus, the longest residual control is obtained in soils with low organic matter.
- Use lower rates in soils with low organic matter.
- Band spray or strip spray in soils low in organic matter.
- Apply a 5m buffer to areas where a surface flow of water could wash the chemical into drains.
- As Trimac™ needs moist soils for incorporation, best results are achieved by applying to moist soil. Avoid water logged or soils near to saturation.
- Avoid application in extreme / extended dry periods prior to intense rainfall adjacent to sensitive areas as surface run off may occur.
- For further information contact your Macspred representative.
HandGun
- Apply this product with a water volume of approximately 1000 litres per hectare for handgun applications.
- Macspred Trimac™ Industrial Herbicide is a soil residual with some knockdown. It controls susceptible weeds through both post-emergence and pre-emergence (residual action).
- Best results are obtained if this product is applied to bare ground or to small weeds (up to 10 cm in height or diameter. The product should be applied to actively growing weeds which are not stressed by factors such as moisture (drought or waterlogging), frost etc.
- For dense weed infestations and where weeds are greater than 10 cm in height and diameter, add Glymac Dri 700 or other glyphosate formulations registered for the purpose (in accordance with label recommendations),
- This product is a water dispersible formulation that mixes readily in water.
- Sufficient moisture is required after treatment to enable root absorption by the weed species.
- The degree of control and duration of effect will vary with the soil texture, organic matter content, soil pH and rainfall.
- As soil pH increases the rate of herbicide breakdown decreases so that on soils with a high pH the efficacy on weeds may be higher (over time) than on soils with a lower pH.
- As soil organic matter increases the rate of herbicide breakdown increases so that longest residual control is obtained in soils with low organic matter.
- Do not apply during periods of intense rainfall or under conditions which will cause drift or movement to non-target areas.
Boom Spray (Commercial and Industrial Areas)
- When using Macspred Trimac™ Industrial Herbicide for application by ground spraying equipment only. Use a boom spray (or off-centre nozzle if necessary) properly calibrated to a constant speed and rate of delivery to ensure thorough coverage and a uniform spray pattern and rate of application over the area to be treated.
- Apply a minimum of 100 L prepared spray/ha.
- When using a flat fan nozzles select a nozzle designed to reduce drift and provide larger sized droplets and 110° fan angle.
- When spraying using offset nozzles select nozzles that produce larger sized droplets at the lowest pressure and the correct width.
- Use no finer than 100 mesh filters.
- Clean spray equipment immediately after use.
CLIMATIC CONDITIONS GUIDELINES
- Spray when the wind is steady 3 to 12 km/h.
- Spray when the wind direction is away from sensitive areas.
- Spray when the Delta T is between 2 and 8 and no greater than 10.
- Avoid spraying:
- in gusty or blustery wind conditions
- when inversion conditions exist
- in an unstable atmosphere
- in calm conditions
- Record and check weather conditions at regular intervals

Loading, Application and Equipment Macspred Trimac™ Industrial Herbicide is a wettable formulation. The product is mixed with water and applied at the recommended rates by handgun application or boom (see directions for use tables).
The product should be mixed with a minium of 100L water using the following method:
- Partially fill the spray tank with water
- Add the appropriate amount of product to the spray tank.
- With the agitation system engaged, top up to the correct volume with water. The material should be kept in suspension at all times by continuous agitation. To prevent nozzle blockage, strainer and screens should be 100 mesh or coarser.
Sprayer Cleanup Residues in the spray tank can damage sensitive plants. It is recommended that a sprayer be dedicated to the use of herbicides which are used to control weeds in industrial situations. The recommended sprayer cleanup is as follows:-
- Drain tank, then flush tank, boom, filters and hoses with clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes.
- Fill the tank with clean water and add 300 ml chlorine bleach (containing 4% chlorine) per 100 L water. Flush through boom, filters and hoses, then allow to sit for 15 minutes with agitation engaged then drain.
- Repeat Step 2.
- Nozzles and screens should be removed and cleaned separately. To remove traces of chlorine bleach, rinse the tank thoroughly with clean water and flush through boom, filters and hoses. CAUTION: DO NOT use chlorine bleach with ammonia.
TREE TOLERANCE
- Field trials and use experience have indicated that the major forestry tree species are tolerant to Macspred Trimac™ when applied at label rates. For further tree tolerance information, contact your Macspred representative or conduct a small-scale tolerance test.
- In some instances when Trimac™ is applied near small trees, stunting may occur. This is usually short lived and a full recovery is expected in the next growing season.
- This stunting can be attributed to a prolonged dry period, pH, organic matter and rate selection.
- Therefore rate selection should suit soil and other conditions.
- Avoid overspray all tree species as damage to growth tip dominance/damage may occur.
RECOMENDED MIXING ORDER.
- DF, WG Dry Glyphosate and Macspred Clomac. (Dry products)
- Allow some mixing time.
- Add Trimac.
- Add antifoaming agent if required.
- Top up with water.
- Add other liquids.
- Add surfactants last.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING GROUP B C HERBICIDE This product is a member of the uracil and sulfonylurea group of herbicides. This product has the inhibitors of acetolactate synthase and inhibitors of photosynthesis at Photosystem II mode of action. For weed resistance management this product is a Group B C herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to this product and Group BC 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 this product or other Group BC herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Macspred Pty Ltd accepts no responsibility for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds.
