CRITICAL COMMENTS
Weed Stage: Apply at rosette to pre-flowering.
Crop Stage : Qld: mid tillering to before boot stage.
(Zadoks 15-39). NSW, ACT, SA: fully tillered to early
jointing. (Zadoks 29-39). Vic: fully tillered to boot stages
(Zadoks 30-40).
WA: Zadoks 15-33,( except Jacup, Aroona and Cranbrook
Zadoks 16/17-33); Do not apply from the boot stage to
milk stage or in the seedling stage. DO NOT use on 2,4-D
susceptible varieties such as Jacup. DO NOT use on
cereals undersown with legumes.
Apply after the dough stage of crop. The application
requires 10-20 days to take effect. When the desiccation
of a large amount of green matter is required, allow 14
days before harvest. Rain between application and harvest
can negate results. NOTE. If thistles are tall and branching
above the crop, spraying can cause branches to bend
down into the crop and lead to blockages in the header
combs. Application can also cause seeds to mature and
increase seed contamination. DO NOT spray to crops with
undersown legumes.
Clover must be well covered by the grass or extensive
damage could occur.
Weed Stage: Apply at seedling to pre-flowering. Use
lower rate for seedlings. Increase rate as plants mature.
Repeat spray as necessary.
Black Bindweed: variable control may result from this use.
Californian Thistle: Repeat applications may be necessary
since this weed is a strong perennial and difficult to
control.
Perennial Ragweed: Variable results may occur since its
perennial root system often makes established weeds
difficult to control. DO NOT mow for two days after
treatment.
Apply as a post-flooding spray. DO NOT apply after head
emergence.
Apply post-emergence when crop is at least 3 weeks old
and weeds are 3 weeks old.

WEED TABLE
Where weeds are to be sprayed in a crop or pasture, use only the rate given for the
particular crop or situation indicated under the Directions For Use table. In most cases
this will give control, however some hard to kill weeds or those in advanced stages of
growth may only be suppressed. The rates listed in the Weed Table below are for
use where weeds only are present and no crop or pasture is involved. Use at
these rates in a crop or pasture other than for spot spraying may cause damage.
This product should only be used in those stages where a rate or range of rates is
indicated for the particular weeds listed.
WEED TABLE: FOR SPOT SPRAYING ONLY – FOR ALL STATES
NOTE: for smaller plants/seedlings, low density and optimal conditions, use the rate at
the lower end of the rate range.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Resistant Weeds Warning
GROUP
I
HERBICIDE
Genfarm 2,4-D Ester 800 EC Herbicide is a member of the Phenoxys group of
herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed
resistance management the product is a group I Herbicide.
Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to the product and other Group I
herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. These
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 I herbicides.
Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Genfarm Crop
Protection Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of
this product to control resistant weeds.
Mixing
Premix the required amount of product with an equal quantity of water before adding to
the spray tank. Agitate while spraying.
Genfarm 2,4-D Ester 800 Label.doc

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.
DO NOT use unless wind speed is more than 3 kilometres per hour and less than 15
kilometres per hour, as measured at the application site.
DO NOT apply with smaller than coarse to very coarse spray droplets according to the
ASAE S572 definition for standard nozzles.
