OF PRACTICE FOR USING PLANT PROTECTION PRODUCTS.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Rosate 36 is a soluble concentrate herbicide, containing the active ingredient glyphosate, for

the control of most species of emerged annual and perennial grass

and broad-leaved weeds. It is adsorbed by the weed foliage and translocated to the growing

points in the roots and to the underground rhizomes/stolons of perennial weeds. Best results

are obtained from applications made under good growing

conditions (adequate soil moisture and warm/humid conditions), when the weeds

are actively growing and at the recommended growth stages for treatment.

After application, glyphosate is strongly adsorbed onto the soil particles and becomes practically

immobilized within the soil. As a result, it has no further herbicidal activity and it is subsequently

broken down by microbial activity. New crops can be sown or planted at very short intervals

after application.

WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS

TAKE EXTREME CARE TO AVOID SPRAY DRIFT to avoid severe damage or complete

destruction of plants outside the target area.

DO NOT APPLY under windy conditions.

DO NOT MIX, STORE, USE OR APPLY IN GALVANISED OR UNLINED STEEL

CONTAINERS OR SPRAY TANKS.

DO NOT allow the spray mixture to stand in the tank for a long period and make sure spray

tanks are well vented.

FOLIAGE OF ANY POISONOUS WEEDS (SUCH AS RAGWORT) MUST BE REMOVED OR

BURIED PRIOR TO GRAZING OR CUTTING FOR FEED when applications are made to

foliage which will be subsequently fed to stock in any way.

At least 6 hours are required for the spray to become rainfast and taken up by the foliage

after application. For maximum efficacy, it is preferable that at least 24 hours elapse before

any rainfall occurs after application.

Do not apply where the target weeds are senescing naturally or if they are under stress,

particularly from drought, high temperatures or frost, as they may be poorly controlled under

these conditions. Weed control will take longer when weeds are growing slowly.

Do not cultivate BEFORE application.

After application, Rosate 36 takes several days to fully translocate through the plant. For this

reason, do not make applications of fertiliser, lime, manure or other pesticides for at least 5

days before or after application.

Do not tank-mix with any other product except with a suitable authorised adjuvant where

specifically recommended on this label. After application, large concentrations

of decaying foliage, roots, or rhizomes/stolons should be dispersed or buried by

thorough cultivation before crop drilling. Trace amounts of Rosate 36 remaining in

the sprayer after use can cause damage to other crops subsequently treated with the same

equipment. Immediately after use thoroughly clean the sprayer and all equipment as detailed

in the section ìSPRAYER DECONTAMINATIONî.

TRANSFORMATION PROCESSES

Effects on brewing and baking have not been established. Consult grain merchant or processor

before use.

WEEDS CONTROLLED

Rosate 36 controls most species of emerged annual and perennial grass and broad-leaved

weeds. After application the active ingredient is translocated from the treated foliage to the

roots and other underground parts of perennial plants. Weeds are most susceptible to Rosate 36

when they are actively growing under warm, humid conditions with adequate soil moisture.

Poor control will occur if application is made to weeds that are subject to natural senescence

or if their growth is held back by dry conditions, waterlogging, high temperatures or frost.

Weed control can also be reduced if these conditions occur soon after application. Any other

situation that restricts uptake into the plant (e.g., a covering of dust on the foliage from

wind-blown soil) will reduce levels of weed control.

It is important that weeds are actively growing and at the correct growth stages at the time of

application, otherwise re-growth can occur and will require subsequent re-treatment.

Symptoms of weed control are usually seen within 7 ñ 10 days after application but

it may take longer under poor growing conditions. Treated foliage usually shows a

gradual wilting and loss of vigour followed by a slight reddening then yellowing followed by

plant death. Symptoms are usually seen on grass weeds before becoming apparent on

broad-leaved weeds. Complete death and deterioration of the weed foliage and root system

may take up to 4 weeks or longer under poor growing conditions.

For application rates of Rosate 36 of 2.0 litres per ha or less, in certain situations it is

recommended to add a suitable authorised adjuvant. Do not use an adjuvant when applying

through a rotary atomiser sprayer.

Annual Weeds

For best results annual weeds must be growing actively at the time of application. Annual

grass weeds should have at least 5 cm of emerged leaf length and broad-leaved weeds

should have at least 2 fully expanded true leaves.

When used for the control of green cover on land not being used for production, annual

grasses such as Black-grass and Brome grasses should be treated either at full ear emergence

or before stem elongation. Treatments made during the stem elongation phase of annual

grasses may result in poor weed control and require a further application.

Perennial Weeds

For best results perennial broad-leaved weeds must be treated when they are actively growing

(they are most susceptible around the time of flowering).

Perennial grass weeds must have developed an actively growing fully emerged foliage when

the application is made. For Common couch the tillering stage (when the growth of new rhizomes

starts) is the most susceptible growth stage. This is usually when there are 4 ñ 5 leaves, each

about 10 ñ 15 cm in length.

The action of Rosate 36 on the control of Nettles is slow and it does not give an acceptable

level of control of Horsetails (Equisetum arvense) from a single application.

FOLLOWING CROPS

After application, glyphosate is strongly adsorbed by the soil particles and subsequently broken

down by microbial activity. Once absorbed onto the soil, Rosate 36 has no

further herbicidal activity and crops can be sown or drilled at specified intervals after application.

However, a slight check to crop growth can occur if seeds of the newly planted crop germinate

within the residual mat of dying and decaying weed foliage, roots, or rhizomes/stolons. Direct

drilled crops are particularly susceptible. Cultivate the ground thoroughly to disperse or bury

the decaying organic matter remaining after application. Loose or fluffy soils/seedbeds should

be consolidated and a normal programme of fertiliser and crop protection treatments should

be applied as appropriate to the new crop, particularly where this follows destruction of

grassland.

Trees and shrubs may be planted 7 days after application.

Grass may be sown 14 days after application.

All other crops may be sown or planted 2 days after application.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

There is low risk for the development of weed resistance to Rosate 36.

Strains of some annual weeds (e.g., Black-grass, Wild oats and Italian Ryegrass) have developed

resistance to herbicides which may lead to poor control. A strategy for

preventing and managing such resistance should be adopted. This should include

integrating herbicides with a programme of cultural control measures. Guidelines have been

produced by the Weed Resistance Action Group and copies are available from the HGCA,

CPA, your distributor or crop adviser. Implement a weed resistance strategy based on Good

Agricultural Practice and including the following:

Follow the label recommendations.

Adopt complementary weed control practices.

Minimise the risk of spreading weed infestations.

Implement good spraying practice to maintain effective weed control.

Use the correct spray nozzles to maximise coverage.

Apply only under appropriate weather conditions.

Monitor herbicide performance and report any unexpected results to Albaugh Europe S‡rl.

APPLICATION

Before use, make sure the spraying equipment is cleaned from any previous use and that it is

calibrated to apply the recommended spray volume and pressure. This is particularly important

when using low-volume applications. After use, make sure the sprayer and all equipment is

thoroughly cleaned as detailed in the section ìSPRAYER DECONTAMINATIONî.

Do not store, mix or use in unlined or galvanized steel tanks or equipment.

Spray immediately after mixing, do not allow the mixture to stand for long periods in

the spray tank and ensure that tanks are well ventilated.

Tractor-mounted or Trailed Sprayers

Before use, make sure the sprayer is cleaned from any previous use and calibrated to apply

the recommended spray volume and pressure. Make sure all the sprayer nozzles are performing

equally and that the spray boom is set at the correct height above the target weeds. This is

particularly important when making pre-harvest applications to a crop.

Unless a different water volume is specified under ìCrop Recommendationsî, apply in 80 ñ

250 litres of water per hectare as a MEDIUM or COARSE spray (BCPC) and with a spray

pressure of 1.5 ñ 2.5 bars using suitable 80∞ or 110∞ nozzles. For best results and to reduce

the risk of spray drift, use a spray pressure within this range. The preferred application volume

is normally between 200 ñ 250 litres per ha but this can be reduced with the use of appropriate

low volume nozzles, adjusting spray pressure and tractor ground speed (tractor speed will

typically need to be set to 4 ñ 9 kph). Do not allow the spray boom to bounce or yaw, this is

particularly important for pre-harvest applications. Ensure that the water volume selected

gives a good even spray cover of the target weeds.

Half fill the sprayer tank with clean water and begin gentle agitation. To avoid the

mixing operation resulting in excessive foaming, do not use agitation from the top

of the tank. Add the required quantity of product into the sprayer tank and allow to

disperse fully. Rinse the containers thoroughly by using an integrated pressure rinsing device

or manually rinsing three times. Add the washings to the sprayer and continue agitation whilst

topping up the tank with water to the required level. Continue agitation until the mix is

sprayed out. The use of a de-foaming product may be necessary.

Spray immediately after mixing, do not allow the mixture to stand. If a tank-mix with

an authorised adjuvant is being used, add to the sprayer tank separately, and follow any

specific instructions on the order of mixing.

Knapsack Sprayers

Knapsack sprayers may be used for spot or directed applications, for example to land not

intended to bear vegetation, orchards, non-crop areas and in forest and farm forestry.

Apply in 100 ñ 300 litres of water per hectare as a MEDIUM or COARSE spray (BCPC). For

water volumes in the range of 100 ñ 150 litres of water per ha, it will be necessary to fit low

volume spray nozzle(s).

Example spray dilution calculation: To apply 5.0 litres per ha of Rosate 36 in a water volume

of 200 litres per ha in a sprayer tank of capacity 5 litres, add 125 ml of Rosate 36 to 4.88

litres of water in the sprayer tank. This volume of diluted spray will cover an area of 250 m2.

Do not make up a spray solution of a greater quantity than required for the area to be treated.

Ensure an even spray coverage with an even walking speed during application.

Half fill the sprayer tank with clean water. Add the required quantity of product into the

sprayer tank and allow to disperse fully. Rinse any empty containers thoroughly by using an

integrated pressure rinsing device or manually rinsing three times. Add the washings to the

sprayer and top up the tank with water to the required level and mix thoroughly by agitating

the tank. Spray immediately after mixing, do not allow the mixture to stand. If a tank-mix with

an authorised adjuvant is being used, add to the sprayer tank separately, and follow any

specific instructions on the order of mixing.

Rotary Atomiser Sprayers

Apply through a rotary atomizer sprayer using a minimum water volume of 40 litres per ha and a

spray droplet spectrum of a minimum Volume Median Diameter (VMD) of 200 microns and up to

300 microns. This corresponds to a MEDIUM or COARSE spray (BCPC). The tractor forward

speed will typically be in the range of 4 ñ 9 kph but it must be calibrated in the field to apply the

correct spray volume. Use a spray bout marker to avoid overlapping spray bouts.

Do not tank-mix Rosate 36 with any adjuvant when applying through Rotary Atomiser

Sprayers.

Hand-held Weedwipers

For use only in orchards and non-crop situations. Use a concentration of 1 part of Rosate 36

to 2 parts of water. Do not exceed this maximum concentration and add a dye (water-based)

if necessary.

Tractor-mounted Weedwipers

Tractor-mounted weedwipers may be used in grassland and arable crops for the control of

Weed beet, Sugar beet bolters and other tall weeds growing above the crop.

DO NOT USE WEEDWIPERS IN SOFT FRUIT CROPS.

WEEDS THAT ARE NOT ACTIVELY GROWING WILL NOT BE CONTROLLED.

KEEP STOCK OUT of treated areas for 7 days.

THE FOLIAGE OF ANY POISONOUS WEEDS (SUCH AS RAGWORT) MUST BE REMOVED

OR BURIED PRIOR TO GRAZING OR CUTTING FOR FEED.

To ensure that application does not result in crop damage, the weeds should always

be at least 10 cm taller than the crop vegetation and a distance of 5 cm must be

maintained between the top of the crop vegetation and the wiper. The optimum weed height

for treatment is 10 cm above the height of the crop vegetation.

If the weed vegetation is dense, it will be necessary to make two passes of the wiper from

opposite directions of the tractor travel. Weeds growing from below the wiped area will need

subsequent applications.

To minimize weed seed return to the soil, application should be made prior to weed seed

maturity. For sugar beet bolters, apply a programme of three applications with an interval of

two weeks between applications starting in early July to early August.

Use a concentration of 1 part of Rosate 36 to 1 part of water. Do not exceed this

maximum concentration. Under very hot or dry conditions it may be necessary to reduce the

concentration to 1 part of Rosate 36 to 2 parts of water. For best results, ensure that the wiping

surface is impregnated with the herbicide solution at all times but does not drip. Clean

the wiping ropes as required during the working day to ensure that flow rate to the wiping

surface is maintained at full rate at all times. The maximum recommended forward speed is 5

kph or less.

CROP RECOMMENDATIONS

Pre-harvest Treatment in Arable Crops

Rosate 36 can be applied as a pre-harvest treatment for the control of weeds in certain recommended

arable crops prior to harvest for the control of a range of perennial and annual

grass and broad-leaved weeds.

DO NOT TREAT CROPS GROWN FOR SEED.

Consult the processor before use on any crop intended for processing.

Wheat (including Durum Wheat), Barley and Oats

Apply when the moisture of the youngest grains in the ear is below 30% and not

less than 7 days before harvest. Make an accurate measurement of seed moisture immediately

prior to application.


To minimise crop damage, apply using a high-clearance tractor fitted with narrow wheels and

crop dividers.

Do not use straw from a treated crop as a horticultural mulch. Straw from a treated crop may

be used for any other purpose.

After harvest, straw may be chopped, incorporated or removed according to normal practice

and the land can be cultivated normally after harvest and straw disposal.

For best results if dull weather conditions occur after application, allow up to 14 days

between application and harvest.

Certain broad-leaved weeds (Annual nettle, Rosebay willow-herb, Redshank, Pale persicaria and

Knotgrass) are not susceptible at rates of 1.5 l/ha or less. For application rates of Rosate 36

of 2.0 litres per ha or less, in certain situations it is recommended to add a suitable authorised

adjuvant. Do not use an adjuvant when applying through a rotary atomiser sprayer.

Apply in 80 ñ 250 litres of water per ha by means of a hydraulic nozzle sprayer ñ use a higher

volume within this range where the crop canopy and/or weed foliage is dense. Alternatively

apply in a minimum of 40 litres of water per ha using a rotary atomiser sprayer ensuring that

the spray droplet spectrum is in the range of a Volume Median Diameter (VMD) of 200 ñ 300

microns.

*For application rates of Rosate 36 of 2.0 litres per ha or less, it is recommended in certain situations

to add a suitable authorised adjuvant. Do not use an adjuvant when

applying through a rotary atomiser sprayer.

Enclosed Waters, Land immediately adjacent to Aquatic Areas and Open Waters

Rosate 36 may be used for the control of dense infestations only of emerged and

floating weeds in enclosed waters, open waters and on land immediately adjacent to aquatic

areas, e.g. reservoirs, irrigation ditches, water courses and waterways.

Before use read the official code of practice ìGuidelines for the Use of Herbicides on Weeds

in or near Watercourses and Lakesî obtainable from:

Department of the Environment and Rural Affairs (DEFRA publications, Tel: 08459 556000);

Rural Affairs Department, Scottish Executive;

Department of Agriculture and Rural Development for Northern Ireland;

National Assembly for Wales Agriculture Department.

The following legislation may apply to the use of Rosate 36 for the control of weeds in

enclosed waters, open waters and on land immediately adjacent to aquatic areas:

Water Act 1989

Water Resources Act 1991

Control of Pollution Act 1974

Northern Ireland Water Resources Act 1992

Control of Pollution and Local Government (Northern Ireland) Order 1978

Consult the appropriate water regulatory body (Environmental Protection Agency/Scottish

Environmental Protection Agency) before using this product to control aquatic weeds. The

maximum concentration of glyphosate in the water must not exceed 0.2ppm or such lower

concentration as the appropriate water regulatory body may require. Rosate 36 may be used

if fish are present in the water provided it is used in strict accordance with these

recommendations.

For the control of dense infestations of emerged reeds, soft-rush, bulrush, bent-grass,

creeping-grass, canary-grass, sweet-grass, whorl-grass and water-cress, apply 5.0 litres per

hectare in 250 litres of water per ha using a hydraulic nozzle sprayer or a hand-held sprayer.

For most species, treat actively growing plants during August ñ September. Best results

against water-cress are obtained from spraying in June. Treat bulrush in late July.

For the control of dense infestations of floating white water-lily and yellow water-lily, apply 6.0

litres per ha in 100 ñ 200 litres of water per ha using a hydraulic nozzle sprayer or a handheld

sprayer. Treat actively growing floating weeds during July ñ August.

For best results, use a boat-mounted or tractor-mounted sprayer with a maximum spray

pressure of 2.0 bar.

When using a boat-mounted sprayer, minimise the forward speed to as low as possible so as

to cause minimum wake and disturbance of the floating weed foliage. Even under ideal application

conditions, some leaves may be disturbed by the boat or wash prior to full absorption of the

spray and require a further application 2 ñ 3 weeks later. In flowing water, make the application

against the direction of the water current. When using a tractor-mounted sprayer do not

exceed a forward speed of 8 kph.

Orchards

Rosate 36 may be used on land that is to be planted to orchard (top fruit) or in

established orchards.

Chemical Thinning by Stump Application

Application rate:

Deciduous trees: Apply a dilution of 1 part of Rosate 36 to 9

parts of water (10% solution).

Coniferous trees: Apply a dilution of 1 parts of Rosate 36 to 4

parts of water (20% solution).

A suitable water based dye can be added to the dilution in order to mark treated stumps.

Apply the diluted solution to the rim of the freshly cut tree surface, apply liberally to

saturate the surface. Apply with a spot gun, paintbrush or specially adapted clearing saw.

Apply to cut stumps as soon as possible after cutting, only during the period between

November to April and before the start of active sap flow in spring or early summer. Do not

make channels, trenches or holes in the cut stump and fill with dilution. Do not use undiluted

product.

Chemical Thinning by Injection of Tree Stems

Rosate 36 may be used for chemical thinning by direct injection into tree stems of all coniferous

and deciduous tree species.

Make a notch cut with an axe in the tree stem and apply 2.0 ml of undiluted Rosate 36 into

the notch. For trees up to 10 cm in diameter, make one cut, in trees over 10 cm diameter,

make two or three cuts. Do not apply to trees in the period of active sap flow in spring/early

summer.

SPRAYER DECONTAMINATION

Trace amounts of Rosate 36 remaining in the sprayer after use can cause damage to other

crops subsequently treated with the same equipment. Immediately after use,

thoroughly clean the sprayer and all equipment with a proprietary detergent cleaner.
