CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT: Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area or, if this is unavailable, onto wasteland away from desirable plants and watercourses.
Cleaning equipment after using water-based sprays:
- Rinsings: After using Rox.Star 200 Herbicide, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the spray unit using a pressure hose. Drain, and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles.
- After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate through the pump, lines and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice.
- Decontamination (before spraying cotton and other sensitive crops; see PROTECTION OF CROPS): Wash the tank and rinse the system as above. Then quarter fill the tank and add an alkali detergent (e.g. liquid SURF®, OMO® or DRIVE®) at 500mL/100L of water or like powder equivalent at 500g/100L and circulate throughout the system for at least 15 minutes.
- Drain the whole system. Remove filters and nozzles and clean them separately. Finally flush the system with clean water and allow draining.
Cleaning equipment after using diesel-based sprays: On completion of spraying, use a degreaser such as Caltex Kwik-D-Grease® to remove traces of diesel from the sprayer. Rinse tank and spray through nozzles with water to remove degreaser. Then, quarter fill the tank with clean water and add an alkali detergent (e.g. liquid SURF®, OMO® or DRIVE®) at 50mL/10L of water or the powder equivalent at 50g/10L of water. Shake sprayer, to circulate the washing solution throughout the sprayer, and then spray the solution through the nozzles. Rinse well with clean water to remove the detergent. To clean brushes and containers, spray liberally with degreaser. Hose off with clean water and repeat using detergents as above. DO NOT use this equipment for any other purpose.
RESISTANT WEED WARNING GROUP I HERBICIDE Rox.Star 200 Herbicide is a member of the pyridine group of herbicides. The product has disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management the product is a Group I Herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I 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 I Herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, KD Plant Care Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant weeds. Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or KD Plant Care.
PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS
- Susceptible crops include but are not limited to clovers, cotton, fruit, hops, lupin, ornamentals, peas, pine tree, potatoes, navy beans, safflower, shade trees, soybeans, sunflower, tobacco, tomatoes, vegetables and vines.
- Rox.Star 200 can be damaging to susceptible crops during both growing and dormant periods.
- Grasses are normally unaffected by Rox.Star 200 and establish quickly after treatment. Transitory damage can occur on some species particularly those that spread by stolons such as couch grass (Cynodon dactylon), Kikuyu grass and carpet grass (Axonopus sp.).

Note: Before using Rox.Star 200 in tank mixes with other herbicides, check the plant-back information on all product labels. The time between spraying and planting will be determined by the most residual product i.e. the product with the longest plant-back period.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS MIXING:
- Rox.Star 200 may be mixed with water or diesel.
- Mix only sufficient chemical for each days use and avoid storing.
- Mixing in Water: Half fill the spray tank with water and add the required quantity of Rox.Star 200 and complete filling. Agitate continuously to ensure thorough mixing before and during application.
- Mixing in Diesel: Half fill the spray tank with diesel and add the required quantity of Rox.Star 200. Add the remainder of the diesel and agitate or shake to mix contents.
- Tank mixtures: Wettable powder or dry flowable formulations (e.g. water dispersible granules) should be added to the spray tank first, followed by suspension concentrates (flowables), water soluble salts and then emulsifiable concentrate formulations (Rox.Star 200). Add spraying oils and surfactants (wetter) last.
PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK
- DO NOT graze or cut treated crops for stock food except as specified under withholding periods.
- Poisonous plants may become more palatable after spraying; therefore livestock should be kept out of the area until plants have died down.
- DO NOT allow stock to re-enter paddocks containing treated poisonous plants, until the plants have died down.
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT
- DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers.
- Alongside waterways, treat only noxious weeds and poisonous plants.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Triple or preferably pressure 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 bury empty containers in a local authority landfill. If no landfill is available, bury the containers below 500mm in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots. Empty containers and product should not be burnt.
SMALL SPILL MANAGEMENT Wear Protective equipment (See SAFETY DIRECTIONS). Apply absorbent materials such as earth, sand, clay granules or cat litter to the spill. Sweep up material for disposal when absorption is completed and contain in a refuse vessel for disposal. (See STORAGE AND DISPOSAL section). If necessary, wash the spill area with an alkali detergent and water and absorb as above the wash liquid for disposal.
SAFETY DIRECTIONS Avoid contact with eyes and skin. When opening the container, preparing the spray and using the prepared spray, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist and a washable hat, elbow-length PVC gloves, a face shield or goggles. Wash hands after use. After each day's use wash gloves, face shield and contaminated clothing.
FIRST AID If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre (Phone 13 11 26). If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Give a glass of water.

DO NOT treat plants showing symptoms from previous treatment. Use the higher rate when long-term weed control (6-10 months) is required and delay planting crops during this period. The low rate will require follow up treatments. |
| Perennial Ground Cherry (Physalis drummundii) | Bud to early flowering up to 20cm tall | NSW only | 1.5 or 3* | |
| Silverleaf nightshade | Full flower to early berry-set (usually Dec-Feb) | NSW only | 0.75 or 0.375 + 2,4-D amine 500 at 1.5-2L/ha | Add Uptake Spraying Oil at the rate of 1L/100L spraying. To ensure maximum effect, delay application until the majority of shoots have emerged. Follow up treatment will be required to control regrowth and is critical for optimal control. If wanting to prevent seed set repeat applications may be needed in the same season, although this does not lead to better long term control. |
| Volunteer peanuts | Up to 15cm diameter | QLD only | 1 + Atrazine 500 at 4.5L/ha | Add a surfactant (see GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS; Oils and surfactants). Important: see GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS; Compatibility section. |
| Volunteer sunflowers | 2 to 5 leaf up to 20cm diameter | NSW, QLD only | 1 | Add Uptake Spraying Oil (see GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS; Oils and surfactants section). |
OILS AND SURFACTANTS Oils: Use Uptake Spraying Oil at the rate of 500mL/100L of spray mix. When using less than 100L/ha spray volume, ensure a minimum of 250mL/ha of Uptake is used, unless 100L or 1L/ha is specified.
Surfactants (wetters): Use a 100% concentrate non-ionic surfactant such as Kenwet 1000LF at 100mL/100L of spray mix where required.
COMPATIBILITY Rox.Star 200 is compatible with the herbicides listed. Follow any regional restrictions, and all directions and restrictions on the label, of any chemical mixed with Rox.Star 200. Atrazine 500, Metsulfuron methyl 600, Broadstrike, Eclipse, Diclofop-methyl, Triclopyr 600, Lontrel, MCPA 500, Puma S, Glyphosate 360, Glyphosate 450 (see below), Topik 240 EC (see below), Tordon 75-D, Tordon 242, Touchdown, 2,4-D amine 500, 2,4-DB.
ATRAZINE
- AVOID USING HARD WATER WHEREVER POSSIBLE. Where hard water cannot be avoided, the addition of CALGON® water conditioning agent to the spray tank, at 100g/100L water, before adding any herbicide may improve compatibility.
- AGITATION IS VERY IMPORTANT WHEN MIXING ROX.STAR 200 AND ATRAZINE. Rox.Star 200 plus Atrazine mixes must be agitated vigorously and continuously during mixing and application. After mixing DO NOT allow to stand without agitation. Ensure that the time from mixing to the end of application is not more than 2 hours. If settling out occurs re-suspension is difficult, even with vigorous agitation. Agitation using only the pump's by-pass is usually inadequate, particularly with larger tanks (more than 2000L). Additional mechanical agitation will be necessary in large tanks, computer sprayers and mixing tanks.
- When additional surfactant is required, add Kenwet 1000LF non-ionic surfactant at 100mL/100L of spray mix. DO NOT use a spraying oil when tank mixing Rox.Star 200 and atrazine.

Glyphosate 450
- When mixing Rox.Star 200 with glyphosate 450 to control both grass and broadleaf weeds, refer to the glyphosate 450 label for use rate and adjuvants recommended for the grasses. DO NOT use glyphosate 450 at less than 1.2L/ha in tank mixes with Rox.Star 200, when barnyard grass, button grass, crows foot grass, native millet and liverseed grass are the target species.
APPLICATION METHODS AND WATER RATES BROADCAST APPLICATION IN CROPPING, PASTURE AND FALLOW SITUATIONS. A. Ground application (Boom)
- Apply Rox.Star 200 with an accurately calibrated boom sprayer, in at least 50L/ha water (100-400L/ha for sugar cane).
- Flat fan nozzles are recommended using pressures in the range 200 to 300kPa.
- Set the boom at a height to ensure a double overlap of the nozzle patterns.
B. Ground directed application (Dropper nozzles)
- To minimize crop effects, dropper nozzles should be used in sorghum when the crop is beyond the 8 leaf growth stage and in maize and sweet corn when the crop is beyond the 6 leaf growth stage.
- Adjust the nozzles to direct the spray into the base of the crop and away from the leaves and the growing point. See manufacturers directions for setting up and calibration of dropper nozzles.
C. Aerial application
- Apply in a minimum volume of at least 35L/ha water (60L/ha in sugarcane).
- Use equipment calibrated to produce droplets with an average diameter (Volume Mean Diameter, VMD) of 250-350 microns.
- DO NOT apply when the temperature is above 30°C, when there is no wind or when the wind is blowing toward susceptible crops.
WOODY WEED SITUATIONS Weeds must be actively growing to attain optimal effect. Delay the treatment of regrowth following bulldozing, slashing, burning, ploughing or previous chemical treatment until it has at least 1 metre of new, vigorous, growth.
A. High Volume Application Hand Gun
- Apply the recommended mix to obtain full coverage of leaves and stems using a number 6-8 up at 700 to 1500 kPa. To obtain good coverage, a spray volume of 1500 to 4000L/ha (15 to 40L/100m²) is required per infested hectare.
- Ensure thorough coverage to the point of runoff. Knapsack
- Knapsack sprayers may be used on smaller infestations where penetration and coverage of the canopy is easier to achieve. Use the same use rate and spray techniques as for hand gun application.
B. Low Volume, High Concentrate Application Drench Gun or Gas-Powered Gun
- Apply the recommended mixture uniformly across the foliage by applying 50mL shots to cover 4 to 5m² of surface area of plant. This is approximately equivalent to 20 droplets per cm² of the leaf surface. Use a marking agent as recommended by the equipment manufacturer to check spray coverage.
C. Basal Bark and Cut Stump Application Basal Bark
- DO NOT apply to wet stems as this can repel the diesel mixture.
- Spray or paint the recommended mixture around the base of each stem from ground level to a height of at least 30cm from the ground, wetting the bark to the point of runoff.
- Apply with a paint brush or a pressure sprayer with an appropriate lance and solid cone nozzle. If using spray equipment use low pressures (200 kPa) sufficient to form a cone of spray.
- Old rough bark will require more spray than smooth or young thin bark. Cut Stump
- Apply the recommended mixture liberally to the freshly cut stump immediately after cutting.
- Apply by spray fog or painting the cut surface and sides of the stump.
- Best results are obtained when the stems are cut less than 15cm above the ground.
