Features & Benefits
- General Information
Synergy™ Glyphosate 540 is a non-selective herbicide for use in agriculture and horticulture: • Before planting crops and trees • In pasture renovation and reduced tillage systems • For pre-harvest weed control • In vineyards, orchards and market gardens • In drains and waterways Synergy Glyphosate 540 is absorbed by green plant tissue, and is translocated throughout the plant, including the root system, to kill the entire plant. Plants should be actively growing, not under drought stress, and have clean foliage at the time of spraying. The product degrades in the soil and has no residual weed control activity. Synergy Glyphosate 540 does not have adverse ecotoxic effects on fish or crustacea. Visible effects may not be apparent for 14 days depending on weather conditions, weed species and rate of application. Some perennial weeds may not show effects for 2 - 3 weeks.
Applications & Uses

- Applications
- Application Technique
- Herbicide Target Species
- Spillage
Exclude non-essential people from the area. Wear protective clothing and prevent material from entering waterways. Absorb spill with inert material such as soil, sand, etc, and place in waste container. Wash area with water, and absorb with further inert material. Dispose of safely to a suitable landfill.
- Directions For Use Rates of Application And Timing
Refer to table. Rainfall within 2 hours of application may reduce effectiveness. The rainfast period can be reduced to 20 minutes if used in conjunction with a penetrant. Application to foliage which is already wet will increase the time required for rainfastness.
- Application Methods
Boom equipment: Application can be made in spray volumes up to 200 liters/ha using fan nozzles at pressures in the range of 200 – 280 kPa. Boom height should be set so that a double overlap of nozzle pattern is achieved at the top of the target plants. Aerial equipment: Applicable to forest and non-crop areas only. It can be applied by aircraft in spray volumes of up to 100 liters/ha. Increase spray volumes in hilly terrain to ensure maximum target contact. Do not use in intensive horticultural cropping areas. Handgun and Knapsack: Ensure a fine spray pattern to give complete coverage. For handguns, use pressures of 1000 – 2000 kPa and No. 4 to No. 6 spray tips. Mistblower: Refer to table. Wiper Equipment: Pre-mix 1 part Synergy Glyphosate 540 in 3½ parts clean water to make a 22% solution. Mix only enough for immediate use. Plants must be clean and dry and the wiper fully saturated. Apply up and down slopes for effective applications.
- Mixing
Fill the clean spray tank with half the required amount of clean water. Add Synergy Glyphosate 540 as required and mix well before adding the remaining water. If penetrant is required, add this last to minimize foaming. Agitate well before spraying. When tank-mixing with other chemicals, add Synergy Glyphosate 540 after suspension concentrates, such as SimatopTM 500FW (simazine), and other water-soluble concentrates. Soil particles and hard water containing calcium salts deactivate Synergy Glyphosate 540. If hard water cannot be avoided, the addition of a pH Buffer is recommended.
- 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, such as ragwort, may become more palatable to stock after spraying, and livestock should be kept away until plants have died down. Otherwise, withholding is not required for stock grazing. However, it is recommended that grazing is delayed for one day for annual weeds, and three days for perennial weeds. This will allow Synergy Glyphosate 540 to penetrate the weeds for maximum effectiveness.
- Weed Control Notes
Agricultural Areas: May be used for the control of annual and perennial weeds as indicated in the Weeds Controlled Table prior to sowing any crop. Asparagus: Pre-crop emergence and post-harvest applications. Apply prior to planting or crop emergence. Do not treat emerging spears. Application can also be made after removal of all spears but before crop regrowth occurs. In established ferns, apply as a directed or shielded spray or with wiper equipment. Do not allow spray, spray drift or the wiper surface to contact any part of the asparagus plant. Broad-acre Crops: Wheat, barley, oats and threshing peas. Can be used to control weeds prior to cultivation or prior to harvest. Spray 7 - 12 days prior to harvest when the grain moisture is less than 30%. Do not harvest within 7 days after spraying. Do not spray undersown crops. Do not spray crops that will be harvested for seed. For threshing peas: Apply 7 - 14 days prior to harvest when the pods have dried. Avoid treating plants under drought stress. Drains and Waterways: For best results ensure that 75% of the weed to be sprayed is above water level. Avoid treating silt-laden weeds. Following spraying do not submerge the weed, as this will cause the herbicide to be washed off. Forestry: For the control of grasses and weeds as listed in the Weeds Controlled Table. Can be applied for weed control prior to burning or planting of forest or nursery or around already established trees. Do not allow spray or spray drift to come into contact with foliage or green bark of desirable trees. Industrial and Non-Agricultural Areas: Treat specific problem weeds as indicated in the Weeds Controlled Table. Do not allow spray drift. Market Gardens: Apply before or after seeding but prior to crop emergence. Spraying can also be made prior to transplanting or as a post-harvest clean up. For longer-term control of seedling weeds it may be tank mixed with an approved residual herbicide such as Simatop 500FW (simazine) in accordance with label recommendations. Minimum Tillage: For total weed control prior to seeding in a reduced tillage system. Weeds should be actively growing and not under stress from frost, drought or waterlogging. For the improved control of white clover, tank mix with Bandit® (dicamba) at 625 mls/ha, or Synergy Tribenuron 750. Do not plant legume crops within 28 days of applying dicamba. If using with Synergy Tribenuron 750 - Do not sow crops within 14 days of application, or sow brassicas if the soil pH exceeds 6.5, or use within 2 months after applying lime. Consult partner product label for further directions. Cultivation may start from 1 day after spraying annual weeds, and 3 days after spraying perennial weeds. Cultivation should occur within 21 days after spraying. Do not sow until a satisfactory seedbed is formed. Orchards/Vines: Crops: Citrus, apple, pear, stonefruit, kiwifruit, grapes. Apply as a directed or shielded spray. For long term control of annual weeds, Synergy Glyphosate 540 may be tank mixed with an approved herbicide for residual control. Do not apply near unprotected trees less than 3 years old. Do not allow spray or spray drift to contact any part of the stonefruit tree, or green bark, suckers, buds, foliage or fruit of other trees. Spray before crops bud, sucker or bloom. Pasture: For the control of existing pasture prior to renewal. For seedhead suppression on unimproved pasture. Synergy Glyphosate 540 may be used for pasture topping to control the growth of pasture grasses by maintaining the vegetative growth stage and delaying flowering. Apply 180 mL/ha in spring at early grass seedhead emergence. Do not use penetrant. Do not use if soil moisture levels following application are too low for pasture growth. Do not use on ryegrass or on other improved pasture as suppression may occur. Brownout will occur, but this will be temporary until the pasture grows back. Grazing may commence 3 days after treatment, but for best results, grazing should be delayed for at least 21 days after treatment. As treatment will restrict grazing, limit the area to be treated. For a spot application to control a wide range of weeds. It is non-selective and may damage or kill any plant in the sprayed area. Recreational Areas: Lawns, turf, parks, reserves and ornamentals. Apply before the sowing and planting of these areas, or use as a spot application. In mown areas, allow sufficient regrowth before spraying. Can also be sprayed around the base of established trees or shrubs, as a directed or shielded spray. Avoid contact with any part of the shrub or tree. Silage or Hay: Synergy Glyphosate 540 can be applied before cutting silage or hay where the paddock is to be renewed or used for cropping afterwards. Apply 2 – 2.7 L/ha + penetrant at 100mL/100L of water. Use the high rate on perennial ryegrass or where silage is rank or lodged. Some regrowth may occur if silage is lodged at the time of spraying. For specific weeds, a higher rate may be needed (Refer to table). After spraying, leave for at least 4 days before cutting and cultivation. Grass quality will be maintained into the early stages of brownout. If spraying occurs after cutting, wait until there is at least 5 – 10 cm of actively growing green leaf on all tillers before spraying.
- Resistance Management
GROUP G HERBICIDE
Synergy Glyphosate 540 contains the active ingredient glyphosate, which belongs to the glycine chemical group. Some naturally occurring weeds may become resistant when excessive use of the same herbicide occurs. Consult http://resistance.nzpps.org/index.php for alternative modes of action and details of resistance management strategies (if any) for the weeds or crops listed on the label.
