6 GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

A translocated, leaf absorbed, selective herbicide used mainly for the control of woody broad-leaved weeds. Established grasses are not usually affected at normal use rates.
Registered in 1980 as a replacement for 2,4,5-T.

7 APPLICATION METHODS AND TIPS:

Apply to actively growing weeds.
Maximum tank storage time - 1 week.

8 WEATHER:

Rainfast in 1 hours.
Frost effects: Frost affected plants may be more tolerant to the herbicide application.
Wind:
Inversions: Avoid application during inversion conditions because drift may cause significant damage to broad leaved plants.
Temperature:
Delta T and relative humidity: Avoid application when Delta T is greater than
Soil moisture at application: Slightly more active due to root absorption when soil is moist.

9 ADJUVANTS:

Spray oils and Pulse Penetrant are often useful for hard to kill species.
Non ionic wetting agents should be used in for most other applications.
The concentration of Pulse Penetrant should be in the range of 0.1-0.25% of spray solution (Field et al 1995).
Uptake, D-C-Trate, D-C-Tron, Winter Spraying Oil, Summer Spraying Oil and BS 1000 are compatible.
Synertrol is not recommended.

10 WATER QUALITY:

11 COMPATIBILITY:

12 EQUIPMENT:

Boom sprays:

Carrier volume:
Nozzles: Flat fan.
Pressure: 150-400 kPa.

13 SPRAYER DECONTAMINATION:

Clean Up:
Clean soon after spraying to reduce the risk of forming dried deposits that may be difficult to remove.
Remove filters and clean separately. Rinse with soapy water (eg 500 mL or g of Drive, Dynamo, Omo or Surf per 100 L water) or water plus 0.25% wetting agent and run through boom. Rinse with water.
Decontamination:
Remove filters and clean then soak in 500 mL household ammonia in 10 L water for 30 minutes.
Rinse sprayer with soapy water (eg 500 mL or g of Drive, Dynamo, Omo or Surf per 100 L water) or water plus 0.25% wetting agent and run through boom. Fill with 1% solution of ammonia and allow to stand for several hours. Triple rinse with water. Or use a commercial spray tank and equipment cleaner.
Rinse nozzles and filters in water and replace.
Don't use chlorine based cleaners.

18 PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:

19 SOIL:

Soil texture: Little effect.
Soil pH: Little effect.
Soil organic matter: Little effect.

20 MODE OF ACTION:

Uptake and translocation:

Absorbed by leaves and roots and is readily translocated throughout the plant. The butoxyethyl ester formulations are absorbed in most soils which limits root uptake.

Physiological effects:

Disrupts the growth of plant cells by mimicking auxin, a plant hormone.

Residual Life and Breakdown:

Breaks down quickly in soils and water.

Selectivity:

Most broadleaf species affected and most grasses unaffected.

21 SELECTIVITY:

Crop tolerance:

Varietal sensitivities:

Effect on Clover Species:

Damages Clovers.

Effect on Medic Species:

Damages Medics

Effect on Lucerne:

Damages Lucerne.

Effect on Native Plants:

May damage native broadleaved plants especially at high rates. Little or no effect on native grasses, sedges and rushes.

22 DISEASE AND INSECT EFFECTS:

23 PLANT SYMPTOMS:

Produces typical auxin or hormone types symptoms including twisting, cupping and narrowing of the leaves and deepening of the sinuses.

SECONDARY EFFECTS:

24 TOXICITY:

Summary:

Slightly to moderately toxic.

Details:

Mammalian toxicity

Acute oral LD50 BEE - 713-803 mg/kg (rats), [For comparison table salt is 3000 mg/kg]
Acute dermal LD50 BEE - > 2000 mg/kg (rabbit).
Skin - BEE not irritating. BEE sensitising.
Eye - BEE minimal irritating.
Vapour inhalation - LC50 BEE - > 4.8 mg/L air (rat).
Chronic oral toxicity NOEL - 2.5-10 mg/kg/day for 183 days to 1 year (dogs).
Not mutagenic.
Classified as a Group D chemical i.e. not classifiable as to human carcinogenicity.
Not teratogenic at levels < 5 mg/kg/day (i.e. does not cause reproductive problems).

Other Species -

Birds - Low toxicity.
Fish - Low to moderate toxicity LC50 >3.46 mg/L to 144 mg/L.
Invertebrates - toxicity.
Bees - Practically non toxic. LD50 >100 ug/bee
Amphibians - Not acutely toxic.
Insects - Slightly toxic.

25 TOXICITY SYMPTOMS:

26 FIRST AID:

27 ENVIRONMENTAL FATE:

Triclopyr is broken down mainly by microbial activity in soil.
It has a half life in soil of 10-46 days.
It has a half life in water of 3.7-4.7 days 1304.
It has an EPA classification for soil mobility that ranges from
Ground water contamination
Replanting intervals are less than 12 months.
Accumulation in milk and tissues.
No adverse effects on water quality or on the non-target biotic community are expected following triclopyr applications 1305,1304.
