Resistance Warning: Resistant Weeds Warning
GROUP 4 HERBICIDE
Tordon® 75-D Herbicide contains members of the pyridine and phenoxy groups of
herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action.
For weed resistance management, the product is a Group 4 Herbicide. Some naturally
occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group 4 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 this product or other Group 4 herbicides. Since
the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Corteva Agriscience
Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this
product to control resistant weeds.
Strategies to minimise the risk of herbicide resistance are available. Contact your farm
chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture, or local Corteva Agriscience
representative.
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. Clothing must be
laundered after each day's use.
Protections: PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS
Crops susceptible to Tordon® 75-D include but are not limited to; peas, lupins, lucerne,
navy beans, soybeans, and other legumes; cotton, fruit, hops, ornamentals, potatoes,
safflower sugar beet, sunflower, tobacco, tomatoes, vegetables and vines.
DO NOT plant susceptible crops within 12 months of applying winter or summer cereal Use
Rates of this product. Cereal crops and grasses can be sown safely after using Tordon®
75-D. Rates in excess of these will result in more persistent soil residues. Therefore, do not
rotate susceptible plants until an adequately sensitive bioassay or chemical test shows that
no detectable picloram is present within soil.
DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause
spray to drift onto 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
DO NOT graze or cut treated crops or plants for stock food except as specified under
withholding periods.
Poisonous plants may become more palatable after spraying and stock should be kept
away from these plants until they have died down.
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENTPage 3

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. These conditions exist most evenings one to two hours before sunset and persist
until one to two hours after sunrise.
BOOM SPRAYERS
DO NOT apply by a boom sprayer unless the following requirements are met:
• Spray droplets are not smaller than a VERY COARSE spray droplet size category.
• Minimum distances between the application site and downwind sensitive areas (see ‘Mandatory buffer
zones’ section of the following table titled ‘Buffer zones for boom sprayers’) are observed.Page 16

TORDON® 75-D HERBICIDE GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
MIXING
Mix only with water. It will not mix with oil or diesel fuel. Mechanical or by-pass agitation in the
spray tank is recommended, and it should be maintained during spraying.
Quarter fill the spray tank and add the required amount of herbicide in the following order:
Wettable powder or water dispersible granules; suspension concentrates (atrazine flowable);
aqueous/soluble concentrates (e.g. Tordon® 75-D, 2,4-D amine); emulsifiable concentrates and
finally surfactant or crop oil.
ADJUVANTS
DO NOT add surfactants (such as BS-1000) or crop oils (such as Uptake® Spraying Oil) unless
specifically recommended to do so in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE tables.
APPLICATION
Tordon® 75-D may be applied by:
• Ground boom. Spray using accurately calibrated equipment delivering 50 - 100 L water/ha.
DO NOT use less than 200 L/ha in sugarcane. When treating maize and sorghum, the risk of
crop injury will be reduced if dropper nozzles are used to avoid spraying the growing point of
the crop. Misting machines and boom jet sprayers should not be used for treating crops.
• Aircraft. Use accurately calibrated equipment to deliver not less than 20 L water/ha. DO
NOT use less than 50 L/ha in sugar cane.
• High volume. Apply using a calibrated handgun with D5 or D6 (2 - 3 mm) nozzle plate and
operated at 400 - 500 kPa. Spray to thoroughly wet the weed, usually 2,500-3,500 L
water/infested ha is required.
• Stem injection. Treat only trees with good sap flow. Make injection cuts at 13 cm spacing
around the diameter of the tree at waist height or at 15 cm spacing at ground level. The cuts
should be made using a 5 to 7 cm wide narrow bladed axe. The cut must be made through
the bark and deep enough to place all the chemical in contact with the sap wood. Treat each
stem of a multi-stem tree where possible. Inject the chemical mix into each cut immediately
after the cut is made. Apply the mix with a vaccinator or similar equipment which can be
accurately calibrated or a tree injector which can apply the measured dose at or near ground
level. Injection at or near ground level is essential in the Traprock area of south-eastern
Queensland and is preferred for optimum results in Bimble box (poplar box) areas.
• Cut stump. Cut the trees as close to the ground as practicable, leaving stumps no higher
than 10 cm. Spray, swab or brush the chemical mix immediately to the freshly cut surface so
as to thoroughly wet the surface. If the cut surface is oily, add a non-ionic wetting agent to
assist penetration.
• Frilling. Make successive overlapping cuts into the sapwood around the entire
circumference of the base of the tree. Spray to thoroughly wet the frilled area.
• Injecting spray into centre of weed. Inject using a vaccinator or similar equipment,
1 mL of treatment mix into the growing point for each 2.5 cm of the plant stem diameter.
(See Zamia palm).Page 18
CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT
After using Tordon® 75-D, empty the tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly
wash inside the tank using a pressure hose, drain the tank and clean any tank, pump, line and
nozzle filters.
To Rinse: After cleaning the tank as above, quarter fill the tank with clean water and circulate
through the pumps, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice.
To Decontaminate: Before spraying sensitive crops (see PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE
AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS section), wash the tank and rinse the system, as above.
Quarter fill the tank and add an alkali detergent (e.g. liquid SURF, OMO, DRIVE at 500
mL/100L of water or the powder equivalent at 500 g/100 L of water) and circulate throughout the
system for at least fifteen minutes. If using a concentrated laundry detergent use 250 g (or
mL)/100 L water. Do not use chlorine based cleaners. Drain the whole system. Then remove
filters, nozzles and clean them separately. Finally, flush the system with clean water and allow to
drain.
Rinse water should be discharged onto a designated disposal area, or if this is
unavailable, onto unused land (and away from plants and water courses).
