SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Operator protection

Engineering control of operator exposure must be used where reasonably practicable in

addition to the following personal protective equipment:

WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (COVERALLS) AND SUITABLE PROTECTIVE GLOVES when handling contaminated surfaces.

WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (COVERALLS) AND SUITABLE PROTECTIVE GLOVES when handling concentrate and applying by hand held equipment.

However, engineering controls may replace personal protective equipment if a COSHH

assessment shows they provide an equal or higher standard of protection.

WASH CONCENTRATE from skin or eyes immediately. WASH HANDS AND EXPOSED SKIN before eating, drinking or smoking and after work. The treated areas should not be re-entered before spray deposits on leaf surfaces have completely dried

Environmental protection

Do not contaminate water with the product or its container.Do not clean application equipment near surface water. Avoid contamination via drains from farmyards and roads.

To protect aquatic organisms do not allow direct spray from hand held sprayers to fall within 1m of the top of the bank of a static or flowing water body. Aim spray away from water.

KEEP LIVESTOCK OUT of treated areas for at least 15 DAYS following treatment.

Storage and disposal

DO NOT RE-USE CONTAINER for any purpose. PROTECT FROM FROST. KEEP IN ORIGINAL CONTAINER, tightly closed, in a safe place. WASH OUT CONTAINER THOROUGHLY, empty washings into spray tank and dispose of safely. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.

a) RESTRICTIONS OR WARNING

BROADSHOT may be applied to grassland that has been established for a minimum of twelve months.

Do not cut treated grassland for at least15 days after treatment. Do not roll or harrow treated grassland within15 days of spraying or during the 7 days before spraying.

Do not treat grass crops intended for seed production.

Do not use applications of Broadshotwhere clover or other legumes are an important part of the sward.

Do not sow any crop into a sward treated with Broadshotfor at least 3 monthsafter application.

The growth of certain grass species such as bents and Yorkshire Fog maybe temporarily suppressed by the application Broadshot.

EXTREME CARE must be taken to avoid spray drift onto non-crop plants outside of the target area. DO NOT ALLOW SPRAY TO DRIFT into greenhouses, or onto other agricultural or horticultural crops (grapevines, potatoes, sugar beet, fruit crops, lettuce, tomatoes, peas, orchards, vegetables, ornamentals, oilseed rape, tobacco), amenity plantings or gardens. Not to be used in glasshouses.

BROADSHOT contains an ester formulation and vapour may be liable to drift under hot conditions. Assess the risk to plants in the vicinity before spraying.

Do not allow spray applications to come into any contact with desired broad-leaved trees. Although when completely dormant most species of conifers are not susceptible toBROADSHOT, contact with spray should be avoided.

Do not sow any crop into an area treated with BROADSHOT for at least 4 weeks after application.

Keep livestock out of treated areas for at least 15 days.If poisonous weeds such as Ragwort are present do not cut or graze until all of the foliage of these weeds has died and become unpalatable.

b) WEEDS CONTROLLED AND CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION

BROADSHOT is a weedkiller that can be used as a spot treatment in permanent grassland and rotational grass.BROADSHOT contains 3 active substances: 2,4-D (family of the aryloxyacids), dicamba (family of benzoic acids) and triclopyr (family of the picolinic acids), all active substances acting as a foliar and systemic herbicide.

WEEDS CONTROLLED

Grassland

BROASHOT should only be applied as a spot treatment.

Apply BROADSHOT to actively growing weeds that have well-developed foliage, but before the flower buds have opened. For best results treat Nettles when they are within the range 30-45 cm high. Other broad-leaved weeds are best treated when they have a well-developed ‘rosette’ of leaves.Repeat applications in the following seasons may be required for long-term control.

Susceptible (S) / Consistently high levels of control obtained under good growing conditions
Moderately Susceptible (MS) / Top growth usually killed and a useful measure of long-term control obtained under good growing conditions
Moderately resistant (MR) / A variable effect on top growth according to growing conditions. Little long term control likely.

c) MIXING AND SPRAYING

BROADSHOT should be used under good growing conditions, from spring until end of summer, when foliage is well developed but before flowering. Do not treat when senescence is evident.

Water Volumes

Application by hand-held (knapsack) sprayer: Apply 15 to 30 ml BROADSHOT in 10 litres water (1.5 to 3 ml product/L) as a spot treatment.
