GENERAL INFORMATION
Rosate 36 is a soluble concentrate herbicide, containing the active ingredient
glyphosate, for
the control of most species of emerged annual and perennial grass
and broad-leaved weeds. It is adsorbed by the weed foliage and translocated
to the growing
points in the roots and to the underground rhizomes/stolons of perennial
weeds. Best results
are obtained from applications made under good growing
conditions (adequate soil moisture and warm/humid conditions), when the
weeds
are actively growing and at the recommended growth stages for treatment.
After application, glyphosate is strongly adsorbed onto the soil particles and
becomes practically
immobilized within the soil. As a result, it has no further herbicidal activity and
it is subsequently
broken down by microbial activity. New crops can be sown or planted at very
short intervals
after application.
WARNINGS AND RESTRICTIONS
TAKE EXTREME CARE TO AVOID SPRAY DRIFT to avoid severe damage
or complete
destruction of plants outside the target area.
DO NOT APPLY under windy conditions.
DO NOT MIX, STORE, USE OR APPLY IN GALVANISED OR UNLINED
STEEL
CONTAINERS OR SPRAY TANKS.
DO NOT allow the spray mixture to stand in the tank for a long period and
make sure spray
tanks are well vented.
FOLIAGE OF ANY POISONOUS WEEDS (SUCH AS RAGWORT) MUST BE
REMOVED OR
BURIED PRIOR TO GRAZING OR CUTTING FOR FEED when applications
are made to
foliage which will be subsequently fed to stock in any way.
At least 6 hours are required for the spray to become rainfast and taken up by
the foliage
after application. For maximum efficacy, it is preferable that at least 24 hours
elapse before
any rainfall occurs after application.
Do not apply where the target weeds are senescing naturally or if they are
under stress,
particularly from drought, high temperatures or frost, as they may be poorly
controlled under
these conditions. Weed control will take longer when weeds are growing
slowly.
Do not cultivate BEFORE application.
After application, Rosate 36 takes several days to fully translocate through the
plant. For this
reason, do not make applications of fertiliser, lime, manure or other pesticides
for at least 5
days before or after application.
Do not tank-mix with any other product except with a suitable authorised
adjuvant where
specifically recommended on this label. After application, large concentrations
of decaying foliage, roots, or rhizomes/stolons should be dispersed or buried
by
thorough cultivation before crop drilling. Trace amounts of Rosate 36
remaining in
the sprayer after use can cause damage to other crops subsequently treated
with the same
equipment. Immediately after use thoroughly clean the sprayer and all
equipment as detailed
in the section ìSPRAYER DECONTAMINATIONî.
TRANSFORMATION PROCESSES
Effects on brewing and baking have not been established. Consult grain
merchant or processor
before use.
WEEDS CONTROLLED
Rosate 36 controls most species of emerged annual and perennial grass and
broad-leaved
weeds. After application the active ingredient is translocated from the treated
foliage to the
roots and other underground parts of perennial plants. Weeds are most
susceptible to Rosate 36
when they are actively growing under warm, humid conditions with adequate
soil moisture.
Poor control will occur if application is made to weeds that are subject to
natural senescence
or if their growth is held back by dry conditions, waterlogging, high
temperatures or frost.
Weed control can also be reduced if these conditions occur soon after
application. Any other
situation that restricts uptake into the plant (e.g., a covering of dust on the
foliage from
wind-blown soil) will reduce levels of weed control.
It is important that weeds are actively growing and at the correct growth
stages at the time of
application, otherwise re-growth can occur and will require subsequent retreatment.
Symptoms of weed control are usually seen within 7 ñ 10 days after
application but
it may take longer under poor growing conditions. Treated foliage usually
shows a
gradual wilting and loss of vigour followed by a slight reddening then yellowing
followed by
plant death. Symptoms are usually seen on grass weeds before becoming
apparent on
broad-leaved weeds. Complete death and deterioration of the weed foliage
and root system
may take up to 4 weeks or longer under poor growing conditions.
For application rates of Rosate 36 of 2.0 litres per ha or less, in certain
situations it is
recommended to add a suitable authorised adjuvant. Do not use an adjuvant
when applying
through a rotary atomiser sprayer.
Annual Weeds
For best results annual weeds must be growing actively at the time of
application. Annual
grass weeds should have at least 5 cm of emerged leaf length and broadleaved weeds
should have at least 2 fully expanded true leaves.
When used for the control of green cover on land not being used for
production, annual
grasses such as Black-grass and Brome grasses should be treated either at
full ear emergence
or before stem elongation. Treatments made during the stem elongation
phase of annual
grasses may result in poor weed control and require a further application.
Perennial Weeds
For best results perennial broad-leaved weeds must be treated when they are
actively growing
(they are most susceptible around the time of flowering).
Perennial grass weeds must have developed an actively growing fully
emerged foliage when
the application is made. For Common couch the tillering stage (when the
growth of new rhizomes
starts) is the most susceptible growth stage. This is usually when there are 4
ñ 5 leaves, each
about 10 ñ 15 cm in length.
The action of Rosate 36 on the control of Nettles is slow and it does not give
an acceptable
level of control of Horsetails (Equisetum arvense) from a single application.
FOLLOWING CROPS
After application, glyphosate is strongly adsorbed by the soil particles and
subsequently broken
down by microbial activity. Once absorbed onto the soil, Rosate 36 has no
further herbicidal activity and crops can be sown or drilled at specified
intervals after application.
However, a slight check to crop growth can occur if seeds of the newly
planted crop germinate
within the residual mat of dying and decaying weed foliage, roots, or
rhizomes/stolons. Direct
drilled crops are particularly susceptible. Cultivate the ground thoroughly to
disperse or bury
the decaying organic matter remaining after application. Loose or fluffy
soils/seedbeds should
be consolidated and a normal programme of fertiliser and crop protection
treatments should
be applied as appropriate to the new crop, particularly where this follows
destruction of
grassland.
Trees and shrubs may be planted 7 days after application.
Grass may be sown 14 days after application.
All other crops may be sown or planted 2 days after application.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
There is low risk for the development of weed resistance to Rosate 36.
Strains of some annual weeds (e.g., Black-grass, Wild oats and Italian
Ryegrass) have developed
resistance to herbicides which may lead to poor control. A strategy for
preventing and managing such resistance should be adopted. This should
include
integrating herbicides with a programme of cultural control measures.
Guidelines have been
produced by the Weed Resistance Action Group and copies are available
from the HGCA,
CPA, your distributor or crop adviser. Implement a weed resistance strategy
based on Good
Agricultural Practice and including the following:
Follow the label recommendations.
Adopt complementary weed control practices.
Minimise the risk of spreading weed infestations.
Implement good spraying practice to maintain effective weed control.
Use the correct spray nozzles to maximise coverage.
Apply only under appropriate weather conditions.
Monitor herbicide performance and report any unexpected results to Albaugh
Europe S‡rl.
APPLICATION
Before use, make sure the spraying equipment is cleaned from any previous
use and that it is
calibrated to apply the recommended spray volume and pressure. This is
particularly important
when using low-volume applications. After use, make sure the sprayer and all
equipment is
thoroughly cleaned as detailed in the section ìSPRAYER
DECONTAMINATIONî.
Do not store, mix or use in unlined or galvanized steel tanks or equipment.
Spray immediately after mixing, do not allow the mixture to stand for long
periods in
the spray tank and ensure that tanks are well ventilated.
Tractor-mounted or Trailed Sprayers
Before use, make sure the sprayer is cleaned from any previous use and
calibrated to apply
the recommended spray volume and pressure. Make sure all the sprayer
nozzles are performing
equally and that the spray boom is set at the correct height above the target
weeds. This is
particularly important when making pre-harvest applications to a crop.
Unless a different water volume is specified under ìCrop Recommendationsî,
apply in 80 ñ
250 litres of water per hectare as a MEDIUM or COARSE spray (BCPC) and
with a spray
pressure of 1.5 ñ 2.5 bars using suitable 80∞ or 110∞ nozzles. For best
results and to reduce
the risk of spray drift, use a spray pressure within this range. The preferred
application volume
is normally between 200 ñ 250 litres per ha but this can be reduced with the
use of appropriate
low volume nozzles, adjusting spray pressure and tractor ground speed
(tractor speed will
typically need to be set to 4 ñ 9 kph). Do not allow the spray boom to bounce
or yaw, this is
particularly important for pre-harvest applications. Ensure that the water
volume selected
gives a good even spray cover of the target weeds.
Half fill the sprayer tank with clean water and begin gentle agitation. To avoid
the
mixing operation resulting in excessive foaming, do not use agitation from the
top
of the tank. Add the required quantity of product into the sprayer tank and
allow to
disperse fully. Rinse the containers thoroughly by using an integrated
pressure rinsing device
or manually rinsing three times. Add the washings to the sprayer and continue
agitation whilst
topping up the tank with water to the required level. Continue agitation until
the mix is
sprayed out. The use of a de-foaming product may be necessary.
Spray immediately after mixing, do not allow the mixture to stand. If a tankmix with
an authorised adjuvant is being used, add to the sprayer tank separately, and
follow any
specific instructions on the order of mixing.
Knapsack Sprayers
Knapsack sprayers may be used for spot or directed applications, for example
to land not
intended to bear vegetation, orchards, non-crop areas and in forest and farm
forestry.
Apply in 100 ñ 300 litres of water per hectare as a MEDIUM or COARSE
spray (BCPC). For
water volumes in the range of 100 ñ 150 litres of water per ha, it will be
necessary to fit low
volume spray nozzle(s).
Example spray dilution calculation: To apply 5.0 litres per ha of Rosate 36 in a
water volume
of 200 litres per ha in a sprayer tank of capacity 5 litres, add 125 ml of Rosate
36 to 4.88
litres of water in the sprayer tank. This volume of diluted spray will cover an
area of 250 m2.
Do not make up a spray solution of a greater quantity than required for the
area to be treated.
Ensure an even spray coverage with an even walking speed during
application.
Half fill the sprayer tank with clean water. Add the required quantity of product
into the
sprayer tank and allow to disperse fully. Rinse any empty containers
thoroughly by using an
integrated pressure rinsing device or manually rinsing three times. Add the
washings to the
sprayer and top up the tank with water to the required level and mix
thoroughly by agitating
the tank. Spray immediately after mixing, do not allow the mixture to stand. If
a tank-mix with
an authorised adjuvant is being used, add to the sprayer tank separately, and
follow any
specific instructions on the order of mixing.
Rotary Atomiser Sprayers
Apply through a rotary atomizer sprayer using a minimum water volume of 40
litres per ha and a
spray droplet spectrum of a minimum Volume Median Diameter (VMD) of 200
microns and up to
300 microns. This corresponds to a MEDIUM or COARSE spray (BCPC). The
tractor forward
speed will typically be in the range of 4 ñ 9 kph but it must be calibrated in the
field to apply the
correct spray volume. Use a spray bout marker to avoid overlapping spray
bouts.
Do not tank-mix Rosate 36 with any adjuvant when applying through Rotary
Atomiser
Sprayers.
Hand-held Weedwipers
For use only in orchards and non-crop situations. Use a concentration of 1
part of Rosate 36
to 2 parts of water. Do not exceed this maximum concentration and add a dye
(water-based)
if necessary.
Tractor-mounted Weedwipers
Tractor-mounted weedwipers may be used in grassland and arable crops for
the control of
Weed beet, Sugar beet bolters and other tall weeds growing above the crop.
DO NOT USE WEEDWIPERS IN SOFT FRUIT CROPS.
WEEDS THAT ARE NOT ACTIVELY GROWING WILL NOT BE
CONTROLLED.
KEEP STOCK OUT of treated areas for 7 days.
THE FOLIAGE OF ANY POISONOUS WEEDS (SUCH AS RAGWORT)
MUST BE REMOVED
OR BURIED PRIOR TO GRAZING OR CUTTING FOR FEED.
To ensure that application does not result in crop damage, the weeds should
always
be at least 10 cm taller than the crop vegetation and a distance of 5 cm must
be
maintained between the top of the crop vegetation and the wiper. The
optimum weed height
for treatment is 10 cm above the height of the crop vegetation.
If the weed vegetation is dense, it will be necessary to make two passes of
the wiper from
opposite directions of the tractor travel. Weeds growing from below the wiped
area will need
subsequent applications.
To minimize weed seed return to the soil, application should be made prior to
weed seed
maturity. For sugar beet bolters, apply a programme of three applications with
an interval of
two weeks between applications starting in early July to early August.
Use a concentration of 1 part of Rosate 36 to 1 part of water. Do not exceed
this
maximum concentration. Under very hot or dry conditions it may be necessary
to reduce the
concentration to 1 part of Rosate 36 to 2 parts of water. For best results,
ensure that the wiping
surface is impregnated with the herbicide solution at all times but does not
drip. Clean
the wiping ropes as required during the working day to ensure that flow rate to
the wiping
surface is maintained at full rate at all times. The maximum recommended
forward speed is 5
kph or less.
CROP RECOMMENDATIONS
Pre-harvest Treatment in Arable Crops
Rosate 36 can be applied as a pre-harvest treatment for the control of weeds
in certain recommended
arable crops prior to harvest for the control of a range of perennial and annual
grass and broad-leaved weeds.
DO NOT TREAT CROPS GROWN FOR SEED.
Consult the processor before use on any crop intended for processing.
Wheat (including Durum Wheat), Barley and Oats
Apply when the moisture of the youngest grains in the ear is below 30% and
not
less than 7 days before harvest. Make an accurate measurement of seed
moisture immediately
prior to application.
DO NOT TREAT CROPS GROWN FOR SEED.
To minimise crop damage, apply using a high-clearance tractor fitted with
narrow wheels and
crop dividers.
Do not use straw from a treated crop as a horticultural mulch. Straw from a
treated crop may
be used for any other purpose.
After harvest, straw may be chopped, incorporated or removed according to
normal practice
and the land can be cultivated normally after harvest and straw disposal.
For best results if dull weather conditions occur after application, allow up to
14 days
between application and harvest.
Certain broad-leaved weeds (Annual nettle, Rosebay willow-herb, Redshank,
Pale persicaria and
Knotgrass) are not susceptible at rates of 1.5 l/ha or less. For application
rates of Rosate 36
of 2.0 litres per ha or less, in certain situations it is recommended to add a
suitable authorised
adjuvant. Do not use an adjuvant when applying through a rotary atomiser
sprayer.
Apply in 80 ñ 250 litres of water per ha by means of a hydraulic nozzle
sprayer ñ use a higher
volume within this range where the crop canopy and/or weed foliage is dense.
Alternatively
apply in a minimum of 40 litres of water per ha using a rotary atomiser sprayer
ensuring that
the spray droplet spectrum is in the range of a Volume Median Diameter
(VMD) of 200 ñ 300

Rosate 36 can be used for the destruction of established grassland and
weeds present in the
sward prior to re-seeding, planting or sowing new grassland or any other crop.
Apply to grass re-growth after grazing or cutting. Alternatively, apply before
grazing or cutting
between June ñ October to grassland 30 ñ 60 cm high that is not dense and
before maturity
of grass seeds.
Grassland crops can be used in the normal manner after 5 days have elapsed
after application,
including grazing by or feeding to cattle, dairy cows or sheep. THE FOLIAGE
OF ANY
POISONOUS WEEDS (SUCH AS RAGWORT) MUST BE REMOVED OR
BURIED PRIOR TO
GRAZING OR CUTTING FOR FEED.
Following removal of the grass crop, normal cultivations may be carried out in
preparation for
planting or sowing the following crop.
DO NOT APPLY any fertiliser or lime application prior to application of Rosate
36.
Apply in 150 ñ 250 litres of water per ha by means of a hydraulic nozzle
sprayer ñ use
a higher volume within this range where the grass canopy or weed foliage is
dense.
Do not apply with a rotary atomiser sprayer.
Select the correct application rate according to the grassland situation to be
treated as in the

Enclosed Waters, Land immediately adjacent to Aquatic Areas and Open
Waters
Rosate 36 may be used for the control of dense infestations only of emerged
and
floating weeds in enclosed waters, open waters and on land immediately
adjacent to aquatic
areas, e.g. reservoirs, irrigation ditches, water courses and waterways.
Before use read the official code of practice ìGuidelines for the Use of
Herbicides on Weeds
in or near Watercourses and Lakesî obtainable from:
Department of the Environment and Rural Affairs (DEFRA publications, Tel:
08459 556000);
Rural Affairs Department, Scottish Executive;
Department of Agriculture and Rural Development for Northern Ireland;
National Assembly for Wales Agriculture Department.
The following legislation may apply to the use of Rosate 36 for the control of
weeds in
enclosed waters, open waters and on land immediately adjacent to aquatic
areas:
Water Act 1989
Water Resources Act 1991
Control of Pollution Act 1974
Northern Ireland Water Resources Act 1992
Control of Pollution and Local Government (Northern Ireland) Order 1978
Consult the appropriate water regulatory body (Environmental Protection
Agency/Scottish
Environmental Protection Agency) before using this product to control aquatic
weeds. The
maximum concentration of glyphosate in the water must not exceed 0.2ppm
or such lower
concentration as the appropriate water regulatory body may require. Rosate
36 may be used
if fish are present in the water provided it is used in strict accordance with
these
recommendations.
For the control of dense infestations of emerged reeds, soft-rush, bulrush,
bent-grass,
creeping-grass, canary-grass, sweet-grass, whorl-grass and water-cress,
apply 5.0 litres per
hectare in 250 litres of water per ha using a hydraulic nozzle sprayer or a
hand-held sprayer.
For most species, treat actively growing plants during August ñ September.
Best results
against water-cress are obtained from spraying in June. Treat bulrush in late
July.
For the control of dense infestations of floating white water-lily and yellow
water-lily, apply 6.0
litres per ha in 100 ñ 200 litres of water per ha using a hydraulic nozzle
sprayer or a handheld
sprayer. Treat actively growing floating weeds during July ñ August.
For best results, use a boat-mounted or tractor-mounted sprayer with a
maximum spray
pressure of 2.0 bar.
When using a boat-mounted sprayer, minimise the forward speed to as low as
possible so as
to cause minimum wake and disturbance of the floating weed foliage. Even
under ideal application
conditions, some leaves may be disturbed by the boat or wash prior to full
absorption of the
spray and require a further application 2 ñ 3 weeks later. In flowing water,
make the application
against the direction of the water current. When using a tractor-mounted
sprayer do not
exceed a forward speed of 8 kph.
