SPRAY APPLICATION TECHNIQUES AND EQUIPMENT Glyfos ® Dakar Pro is a water-soluble granular formulation with free-flowing, dust-free granules that dissolve rapidly in water. Application techniques include tractor-mounted sprayers, knapsack sprayers, rotary atomisers and specialised spraying equipment such as weed wiper applicators, where indicated. 1. Hydraulic sprayers mounted on tractors Use any equipment which can apply at 80-250 litres/ha as a ‘Medium’ or ‘Coarse’ spray (as defined by BCPC) with a pressure of 1.5-2.5 bar and 80° or 110° nozzles. For most applications, 200-250 litres of water/ha should be used. Spray pressure (typically 1.5-2.5 bar) should be adjusted and related to tractor speed, water volume and nozzle type. However, specific low-volume nozzles may be used with a reduced water volume of 80-120 litres. When using low volume nozzles, spray pressure and tractor speed should be adjusted. A typical speed range would be 4-9 km/hour. All spray equipment should be calibrated before use, particularly if nozzles have been changed. Check at least one nozzle from each side of the boom. Before starting spraying, check that the boom is level, the boom height is correct for the intended application, and all the nozzles on the boom are aligned at the correct angle to the forward direction of the tractor. 2. Rotary Atomisers Select one of the following: CDA Boom and CDA Lightweight, Microdrop, Girojet, Dual-Option sprayer, Hydraspin. Applications should be made using a water volume of 40 l/ha at a speed of 4-9 km/hour and a droplet setting of 200-300 microns (equivalent to the BCPC definitions of ‘Medium’ or ‘Coarse’). The spray droplet spectrum produced by the atomiser must have a minimum Volume Median Diameter (VMD) of 200 microns. The equipment should be correctly calibrated according to the manufacturer’s instructions. 3. Directed Application with a Knapsack Sprayer Knapsack sprayers (e.g. Cooper Pegler Classic / Series 2000) may be used in set-aside land and pre- cultivation. Spray volumes normally range from 200-300 litres/ha but may be reduced to 100-150 litres/ha if low volume nozzles have been fitted. This is with the exception of application in forestry at 5 kg/ha where the minimum water volume is 200 litres/ha. Spray quality should be ‘Medium’ or ‘Coarse’ as defined by BCPC. An application rate of 2 kg/ha and a water volume of 200 litres/ha represents a 1% concentration of Glyfos ® Dakar Pro. A knapsack sprayer with a total capacity of 10 litres thus requires 100 g of Glyfos ® Dakar in 10 litres of water. A 10-litre sprayer will cover an area of 500 sq. metres at a 1 metre/second walking pace and a 1-metre wide spray swath. 4. Spot Gun – Stump treatments The applicator must be fitted with narrow angle cone nozzles, TG3 or TG5 or solid stream nozzle tips (Delavan LF 6.0 or Spraying Systems 0006). Set the gun to deliver 2.5 ml per squeeze and select the concentration of Glyfos ® Dakar Pro according to usage recommendations. A dose of 2.5 ml should be applied for each 5 cm diameter of tree stump. 5. Spraying in or near water The maximum concentration of active ingredient in treated water must not exceed 0.06 ppm or such lower concentration as the appropriate regulatory body may require. Users must consult the appropriate water regulatory body (Environment Agency / Scottish Environment Protection Agency) before using the product near water and must obtain their agreement before using this product to control aquatic weeds. If Glyfos ® Dakar Pro is used according to these recommendations, water subjected to spray drift may immediately be used immediately for irrigation. Filling spray tank 1) Fill the sprayer with 2/3 of the required quantity of water. 2) Switch-on the agitation and re-circulation. 3) Add the granules progressively and when completed add the remaining water. Continue agitation for at least 5 minutes. Induction hopper When using a chemical induction bowl or hopper, open the rinsing/flush system. Next open the valve for emptying the bowl into the main tank. Add Glyfos ® Dakar Pro with the rinsing/flushing system on. Continue until the required amount of Glyfos ® Dakar Pro has been introduced. Sprayer Hygiene It is essential to thoroughly clean out spray tanks, pumps, pipelines and nozzle or disc assemblies with a recommended detergent cleaner between applying this product and other pesticides, to avoid contamination by pesticide residues. PROTECT FROM FROST. Store in a cool dry place. This label is compliant with the CPA Voluntary Initiative Guidance. Not for reformulation or repackaging.

Symptoms such as gradual wilting and yellowing of foliage are rapidly visible in grass weeds but are slower to appear in broadleaved weeds. Cultivation and drilling can take place 6 hours after application to control annual broad-leaved weeds, 24 hours after spraying annual grasses and 5 days after spraying perennial weeds. Allow minimum 7 days if weather conditions are not favourable and before planting of trees, ornamentals, vegetables etc. Restrictions 1. Weather Conditions For best results a rain-free period of 6 hours (and preferably 24 hours) is required after application of Glyfos ® Dakar Pro. Extreme care should be taken to avoid spray drift as this can severely damage or destroy neighbouring crops or plants. Action of Glyfos ® Dakar Pro will be slower in cooler weather. It should not be used under frosty conditions while weed growth is reduced by natural senescence. Treating weeds which are suffering from drought stress may result in reduced efficacy. 2. Following Crops Glyfos ® Dakar Pro is inactivated on contact with soil by binding to soil particles. All crops may be planted or sown at the intervals specified following treatment. A slight growth retardation following germination may be seen if seeds are sown by direct drilling amongst decaying vegetation, roots, rhizomes or stolons. Weed control It is important when treating perennial weeds that there is full emergence of healthy green foliage and active growth at the time of application. The efficacy of this product is increased if the leaf surface for absorption is large. Common couch grass is particularly susceptible at the 4-5 leaf stage, where there is about 10-15 cm of new growth, when tillering and new rhizome growth is starting. Most perennial broad-leaved weeds are particularly susceptible to treatment when they are actively growing and shortly before flowering. Annual weeds should be growing actively at the time of treatment. Grasses should have at least 5 cm of growth. Broad-leaved weeds should have at least two sizeable true leaves. Under conditions of drought, flooding, frost or high temperatures, disease or insect damage or weeds heavily covered with dust, where plant growth is restricted the efficacy of this product will be reduced. Strains of some annual weeds (e.g. black-grass, wild-oats, and Italian rye-grass) 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, crop adviser or product manufacturer. Do not use glyphosate repeatedly over several years in the same field as selection of resistant biotypes can take place and may become prevalent. No extra surfactant should be added if the product is to be applied using a rotary atomizer sprayer.

SPRAY APPLICATION TECHNIQUES AND EQUIPMENT

Glyfos® Dakar Pro is a water-soluble granular formulation with free-flowing, dust-free granules thatdissolve rapidly in water. Application techniques include tractor-mounted sprayers, knapsacksprayers, rotary atomisers and specialised spraying equipment such as weed wiper applicators,where indicated.

1. Hydraulic sprayers mounted on tractors

Use any equipment which can apply at 80-250 litres/ha as a ‘Medium’ or ‘Coarse’ spray (as definedby BCPC) with a pressure of 1.5-2.5 bar and 80° or 110° nozzles.

For most applications, 200-250 litres of water/ha should be used. Spray pressure (typically 1.5-2.5bar) should be adjusted and related to tractor speed, water volume and nozzle type.However, specific low-volume nozzles may be used with a reduced water volume of 80-120 litres.

When using low volume nozzles, spray pressure and tractor speed should be adjusted. A typicalspeed range would be 4-9 km/hour.

All spray equipment should be calibrated before use, particularly if nozzles have been changed.Check at least one nozzle from each side of the boom. Before starting spraying, check that the boomis level, the boom height is correct for the intended application, and all the nozzles on the boom arealigned at the correct angle to the forward direction of the tractor.

2. Rotary Atomisers

Select one of the following:

CDA Boom and CDA Lightweight, Microdrop, Girojet, Dual-Option sprayer, Hydraspin.Applications should be made using a water volume of 40 l/ha at a speed of 4-9 km/hour and adroplet setting of 200-300 microns (equivalent to the BCPC definitions of ‘Medium’ or ‘Coarse’). Thespray droplet spectrum produced by the atomiser must have a minimum Volume Median Diameter(VMD) of 200 microns. The equipment should be correctly calibrated according to the manufacturer’sinstructions.

3. Directed Application with a Knapsack Sprayer

Knapsack sprayers (e.g. Cooper Pegler Classic / Series 2000) may be used in set-aside land and pre-cultivation. Spray volumes normally range from 200-300 litres/ha but may be reduced to 100-150litres/ha if low volume nozzles have been fitted. This is with the exception of application in forestryat 5 kg/ha where the minimum water volume is 200 litres/ha. Spray quality should be ‘Medium’ or‘Coarse’ as defined by BCPC.

An application rate of 2 kg/ha and a water volume of 200 litres/ha represents a 1% concentrationof Glyfos® Dakar Pro. A knapsack sprayer with a total capacity of 10 litres thus requires 100 g ofGlyfos® Dakar in 10 litres of water.

A 10-litre sprayer will cover an area of 500 sq. metres at a 1 metre/second walking pace and a 1-metrewide spray swath.

4. Spot Gun – Stump treatments

The applicator must be fitted with narrow angle cone nozzles, TG3 or TG5 or solid stream nozzle tips(Delavan LF 6.0 or Spraying Systems 0006).

Set the gun to deliver 2.5 ml per squeeze and select the concentration of Glyfos ® Dakar Pro accordingto usage recommendations. A dose of 2.5 ml should be applied for each 5 cm diameter of tree stump.

5. Spraying in or near water

The maximum concentration of active ingredient in treated water must not exceed 0.06 ppm or such lower concentration as the appropriate regulatory body may require.Users must consult the appropriate water regulatory body (Environment Agency / Scottish Environment Protection Agency) before using the product near water and must obtain their agreement before using this product to control aquatic weeds.

If Glyfos® Dakar Pro is used according to these recommendations, water subjected to spray drift mayimmediately be used immediately for irrigation.

Filling spray tank1) Fill the sprayer with 2/3 of the required quantity of water.2) Switch-on the agitation and re-circulation.3) Add the granules progressively and when completed add the remaining water. Continue agitation

for at least 5 minutes.

Induction hopperWhen using a chemical induction bowl or hopper, open the rinsing/flush system. Next open the valve for emptying the bowl into the main tank. Add Glyfos® Dakar Pro with the rinsing/flushing system on. Continue until the required amount ofGlyfos® Dakar Pro has been introduced.

Sprayer HygieneIt is essential to thoroughly clean out spray tanks, pumps, pipelines and nozzle or disc assemblieswith a recommended detergent cleaner between applying this product and other pesticides, to avoidcontamination by pesticide residues.
