Resistance Warning: HERBICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING
GROUP I HERBICIDE
Nufarm Estercide 800 Herbicide (“Estercide 800”) is a member of the Phenoxy group of
herbicides. Estercide 800 has the disruptors of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed
resistance management Estercide 800 is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring
weed biotypes resistant to Estercide 800 and other Group I herbicides may exist through
normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually
dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant
weeds will not be controlled by Estercide 800 or Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence
of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Nufarm Limited accepts no liability for
any losses that may result from the failure of Estercide 800 to control resistant weeds.

Precautions: RE-ENTRY PERIOD
If re-entering treated areas before the spray has dried, workers should wear overalls, elbow-
length gloves and water-resistant footwear.

Protections: PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS
DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipments, that may cause
spray to drift into nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures. Avoid
spray drift and vapour movement onto susceptible crops such as cotton, tobacco,
tomatoes, vines, lupins, fruit trees and ornamentals.
PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK
Low hazard to bees. May be applied on any plants at any time as recommended.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT
Very toxic to aquatic life. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the
chemical or used container.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
Toxic to beneficial arthropods. Not compatible with integrated pest management (IPM)
programs utilising beneficial arthropods. Minimise spray drift to reduce harmful effects
on beneficial arthropods in non-crop areas.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL (20L, 200L ONLY)
Storage and Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. DO NOT store for
prolonged periods in direct sunlight.
Disposal:
Non-refillable containers
Triple-rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. DO NOT dispose of
undiluted chemicals on site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler
or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush, or puncture and deliver empty
packaging to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management
facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal
pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose, clear of waterways, desirable vegetation
and tree roots, in compliance with relevant local, state or territory government regulations.
DO NOT burn empty containers or product.

Page 3

Refillable containers
Empty contents fully into application equipment. Close all valves and return to point of
supply for refill or storage.

Safety Directions: HAZARDS & PRECAUTIONS
Harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Will irritate the eyes and skin. Avoid contact with the eyes
and skin. Do not inhale vapour

MIXING OR USING
Mixing and loading with open systems: When opening the container and preparing spray,
wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist and a washable hat, elbow-length
chemical resistant gloves and face shield or goggles.

Mixing and loading with closed systems: When opening the container and preparing the
spray, wear cotton overalls over normal clothing and elbow length chemical resistant
gloves.

When using the prepared spray: wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist and a
washable hat and elbow-length chemical resistant gloves. If applying by hand wear half
facepiece respirator with organic vapour/gas cartridge or canister. If product on skin,
immediately wash area with soap and water. If product in eyes, wash it out immediately
with water.

AFTER USE
After use and before eating, drinking or smoking wash hands, arms and face thoroughly
with soap and water. After each day’s use, wash gloves, respirator and if rubber wash with
detergent and warm water, face shield or goggles and contaminated clothing.

with relevant WA legislation and regulations. NOTE: Refer to Department of Agriculture and Food
for state restricted spray areas agric.wa.gov.au.

DO NOT apply this product by aircraft or ground based misters. Apply only by ground boom-spray (or
knapsack if spot spraying).

DO NOT apply this product:

• in aquatic situations
• to rights of way
• as a harvest aid/salvage spray

DO NOT apply more than 700mL of this product per ha
DO NOT apply if heavy rains or storms are forecast within 3 days, or if any rain is likely within 6 hours
DO NOT irrigate to the point of runoff for at least 3 days after application
DO NOT apply if crop or weeds are stressed due to dry or excessively moist conditions

SPRAY DRIFT RESTRAINT

DO NOT apply by a vertical sprayer

Specific definitions for terms used in this section of the label can be found at www.apvma.gov.au/spraydrift

DO NOT allow bystanders to come into contact with the spray cloud

DO NOT apply in a manner that may cause an unacceptable impact to native vegetation, agricultural crops,
landscaped gardens and aquaculture production, or cause contamination of plant or livestock commodities,
outside the application site from spray drift. The buffer zones in the relevant buffer zone tables below provide
guidance but may not be sufficient in all situations. Wherever possible, correctly use application equipment
designed to reduce spray drift and apply when the wind direction is away from these sensitive areas.

DO NOT apply unless the wind speed is between 3 and 20 kilometres per hour at the application site during the
time of application

DO NOT apply if there are hazardous surface temperature inversion conditions present at the application site
during the time of application. Surface temperature inversion conditions exist most evenings one to two hours
before sunset and persist until one or two hours after sunrise.

DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than a VERY COARSE spray droplet size category

DO NOT apply within 2km of potentially sensitive or susceptible aquatic areas, town sites or nontarget
vegetation. The latter includes commercial seedling and plant nurseries, horticultural crops, grapevines, tomato
crops, intensive agricultural operations and wildflower processing crops, national parks, nature reserves, areas
and aquaculture operations

SPRAY APPLICATIONS AND DRIFT RISK ASSESSMENT




Checklist:
• Have you cleaned/decontaminated your boom sprayer?
• Have you contacted your neighbour prior to spraying?
• Is your sprayer set-up correctly for the particular application?
• Check - boom calibration
            - at nozzle - nozzle choice
            - low drift/what spray quality
            - very coarse or larger spray quality?
            - boom height - speed of intended application
            - water volume
• You must check, determine and record the weather conditions immediately prior to, and immediately after the spray application is made.
• Record - Temperatures
            - Relative Humidity
            - Delta T
            - Wind speed
            - Is there a temperature inversion?
• Night Spraying - Extra care is required to ensure that inversion conditions are not present. Use smoke generator to determine wind direction and presence of
inversion conditions.

When spraying in or near areas with sensitive crops such as cotton, check online at satacrop.com.au for the proximity of sensitive crops mapped by growers.
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE AND USAGE
Keep the spray unit for herbicides only if possible. Otherwise wash out the unit with Nufarm Tank & Equipment Cleaner or hot soapy water followed by several
clear water rinses. Hoses cannot be cleaned and new hoses should be fitted when the unit is to be used for any other purpose.
