SPRAY DRIFT RESTRAINTS
Specific definitions for terms used in this section of the label can be found at
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 advisory buffer zones in the relevant buffer zone table/s below provide guidance
but may not be sufficient in all situations. Wherever possible, correctly use applicationPage 2
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 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.
DO NOT apply by a boom sprayer unless the following requirements are met:
- spray droplets not smaller than a MEDIUM 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.

Trade Advice: EXPORT OF TREATED PRODUCE
Growers should note that MRLs or import tolerances do not exist in all markets for edible
produce treated with REGLONE Non-Residual Herbicide. If you are growing edible
produce for export, please check with Syngenta Crop Protection Pty Limited for the latest
information on MRLs and import tolerances BEFORE using REGLONE Non-Residual
Herbicide.
General REGLONE is an aqueous solution of diquat, a non-volatile herbicide with unique
Directions: properties. It very quickly kills green growth with which it comes into contact and is
particularly effective against broadleaf weeds. It is inactivated on contact with the soil and
crop roots and seeds below the soil remain unharmed. It can be safely applied around
bushes and trees which have no green bark. It is non-volatile, easily mixed with water
and active at low concentrations.
Mixing
Add the required quantity of REGLONE to water in the spray tank and agitate to give
even mixing. Agitate again if left standing. Use clean water only, as suspended soil
particles in dirty water will interfere with herbicidal action.
Wetting agentPage 4
REGLONE contains no wetting agent, and a non-ionic wetting agent must be added to
the spray mixture unless otherwise specified. Add Agral at the rate of 200 mL/100 L or
BS1000 at 160 mL/100 L of prepared spray unless otherwise specified.
Application
For best results an even and complete coverage and good penetration of the spray into
the target foliage is necessary. Best results will be obtained when application is made in
dull weather or at the end of the day. REGLONE is rapidly absorbed and is not affected
by rain falling shortly after application.
Application Rates
Gramoxone 250 is preferred where grasses are dominant and REGLONE where there
are mainly broadleaf weeds.
Boom Spraying
A boomsprayer fitted with flat fan nozzles is preferred to ensure even coverage and to
minimise drift. The boom should be set at sufficient height above the crop to provide a
complete double overlap of the flat spray pattern. Spray drop arms on booms are useful
for dense crops. A minimum spray volume of 100 L/ha is recommended. Aim for spray
droplets not smaller than a MEDIUM spray droplet size.
High Volume Spot Spraying
For hand held equipment use 250 mL of product per 100 L of water and spray to visible
wetness (about 700 to 1000 L/ha).
Aerial Application
Flying height, pressure, nozzle size and positioning on the aircraft should be such as to
minimise spray drift. Apply 30 to 60 L of spray per hectare. Avoid spraying in high winds
or under temperature inversion conditions. Wash any spillage during filling of the aircraft
and make sure there are no leaks in the spraying system. Inspect the aircraft regularly for
signs of corrosion and ensure the paint work is in good condition.
Caution - Use By Aircraft
Although this product is no different in drift behaviour from other chemicals, it has a rapid
spotting effect on green foliage and, as with all herbicides, special care must be taken to
avoid drift onto adjacent crops. Aircraft operators must not apply during periods of
thermal (temperature) instability, and should avoid wind conditions and flying heights
conducive to drift.

Pre-Planting and Pre-Crop Emergence
To control weeds in seed beds before sowing, or post-sowing pre-crop emergence, apply
as a blanket spray with this product using boom spray equipment or handheld sprayers.
Post-Emergence Inter-Row Weed Control
Use shielded nozzles for rapid control of weeds in inter-row spaces of row crops, after
crop seedlings have emerged, or when transplanted crops are established. Direct the
spray so that it does not touch the crop.
Resistance RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING
Warning: GROUP 22 HERBICIDE
REGLONE Non-Residual Herbicide is a member of the bipyridyl group of herbicides. The
product has the inhibitors of photo-synthesis at photosystem I mode of action. For weed
resistance management, the product is a Group 22 herbicide.Page 5
Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group 22
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 22 herbicides.
Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Syngenta
Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this
product to control resistant weeds.
Precautions: RE-ENTRY PERIOD:
DO NOT allow entry to treated areas until the spray has dried unless using an enclosed
cab or wearing cotton overalls and gloves. Workers performing scouting and irrigation
activities must comply with the re-entry periods specified below.

DO NOT contaminate wetlands or watercourses with this product or used containers.
Toxic to birds. However, the use of this product as directed is not expected to have
adverse effects on birds.
Toxic to beneficial foliar arthropods. Not compatible with integrated pest management
(IPM) programs utilising beneficial foliar arthropods. Minimise spray drift to reduce
harmful effects on beneficial foliar arthropods in non-crop areas.
Storage and Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. DO NOT store for
Disposal: prolonged periods in direct sunlight.
Empty contents fully into application equipment. Close all valves and return to point of
supply for refill or storage.
Safety Very dangerous, particularly the concentrate. Do not swallow. The product, particularly
Directions: the concentrate, can kill if swallowed, absorbed through the eyes or absorbed by skin
contact. The liquid can cause burns particularly to the eyes. Will irritate the nose, throat
and skin. When handling, do not touch or rub eyes, nose or mouth with hand. Avoid
contact with eyes and skin, open wounds and clothing. Protect eyes while using.
If clothing becomes contaminated with product or with wet spray remove clothing
immediately. Do not inhale spray mist. Do not allow children to play with containers or
any equipment that is used.
When connecting, disconnecting and cleaning equipment wear cotton overalls buttoned
to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and a washable hat, impervious footwear,
elbow-length chemical resistant gloves and a full face respirator with canister specified
for paraquat/diquat OR half face-piece respirator with canister specified for
paraquat/diquat and face shield or goggles.Page 6
When applying by hand wand wear cotton overalls, over normal clothing, buttoned to the
neck and wrist and a washable hat, impervious footwear, elbow-length chemical resistant
gloves and a full face piece respirator with a canister specified for paraquat/diquat.
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, face shield or goggles, respirator
(and if rubber wash with detergent and warm water), clothing and footwear.
First Aid If poisoning occurs, get to a doctor or hospital quickly. If sprayed on skin, wash
Instructions: thoroughly. If sprayed in mouth, rinse mouth with water. If in eyes, hold eyes open, flood
with water for at least 15 minutes and see a doctor.
