A broadleaf herbicide for control of most species of thistles, buttercup and many common pasture weeds in PASTURE and NON-CROP situations
Active Ingredient: 680 g/liter 2,4-D as the ethylhexyl ester in the form of an emulsifiable concentrate.
- General Information
Synergy™ 2,4-D Ester 680 is a broadleaf herbicide for control of most species of thistles, buttercup and many common pasture weeds in pasture and non-crop situations. Best results are obtained when weeds are in the seedling stage of growth and are actively growing. Note: Synergy 2,4-D Ester 680 is damaging to all clovers, particularly red, subterranean and suckling clover. To minimize damage, graze pasture to reduce clover leaf and to expose target weeds, and leave for one week to allow weeds to recover before spraying.

For perennial weeds use 90ml per 15 liters of water. Spot Spraying: Use 500ml per 100 liters of water and ensure a thorough coverage of the plant. Aerial Spraying: Use 30 - 60 liters of water per hectare on pasture.
- Mixing
Mix the required quantity in the spray tank partly filled with water, and maintain agitation through filling and spraying.
- Rainfall
Do not spray if rain is expected within 3 hours of spraying.
- Drift
The addition of a suitable drift control agent such as Kiwi Cover ™ is recommended to reduce spray drift onto non-target species.
- Withholding Periods
It is an offense for users of this product to cause residues exceeding the relevant MRL in the Food Notice: Maximum Residue Levels for Agricultural Compounds. Poisonous plants may become more palatable after spraying, and livestock should be kept out until plants have died down. For animal safety reasons, do not graze treated pasture for 2 weeks after application.
- Resistance Management
GROUP O1 HERBICIDE
Synergy 2,4-D Ester 680 belongs to the phenoxy chemical family. Some naturally occurring weeds may become resistant when excessive use of the same herbicide occurs. To prevent or delay the development of resistance, use in tank mixes and/or rotate use with herbicides with a different mode of action. Consult http://resistance.nzpps.org/index.php for alternative modes of action and details of resistance management strategies (if any) for the crops listed on the label.
