Application Information
Apply with ground equipment or aircraft for Liberty 150 SN.
Water volume
:
Ground Application: Minimum of 45 L/acre of water. Air: Minimum of 22 L/acre of water
Application Tips
For best results, apply to emerged, young actively growing weeds. Weeds that emerge after application will not be
controlled. When a rate range is given, the higher rate should be used: (1) when weed or crop growth is dense, (2)
when the weeds are large and/or mature - i.e. advanced leaf stages and plant height, and (3) when environmental
conditions are cool and dry.
How it Works
Liberty works primarily as a contact herbicide. Thorough coverage of the weeds to be controlled is essential.
Absorbed by all leaf and stem surfaces. It interferes with plants’ ability to detoxify ammonia. The speed of action of
Liberty is influenced by environmental factors. At cool temperatures (below 10°C), poor moisture and low humidity,
speed of action may be reduced.
Expected Results
Generally, visual symptoms appear 2 - 4 days after application.
Restrictions
Rainfall
:
If rainfall occurs within 4 hours of application, effectiveness may be reduced.
Grazing
:
Do not graze the treated crop or cut for hay; sufficient data are not available to support such use.
Re-entry
:
Do not re-enter treated areas for 24 hours after application without protective clothing as for spraying.
Re-cropping
:
There are no cropping or rotational restrictions after application.
Environmental Precautions
Highly toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Do not contaminate surface or ground water by
cleaning equipment or disposal of wastes, including equipment wash water.
Runoff
:
Do not allow getting into surface water, drains and groundwater.
Drift
:
Do not apply within 15 metres of environmentally sensitive areas when applying by ground equipment. Do not
apply within 30 metres of environmentally sensitive areas when applying by air.
Toxicity
Acute oral LD
50
(
rats) = 2,000 mg/kg. No allergic potential.
Storage
Do not store below freezing. If stored for one year or longer, shake well before using.
