Safe and Responsible Herbicide Use ASTRA 360 SL Triclopyr 270 g/ + - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation
Safe and Responsible Herbicide Use ASTRA 360 SL Triclopyr 270 g/ + Clopyralid 90 g/ Combination of two very powerful active ingredients Broad target species range Low environmental impact Selective to alien invasive vegetation
Triclopyr 270 g/ℓ + Clopyralid 90 g/ℓ
▪ Combination of two very powerful active ingredients ▪ Broad target species range ▪ Low environmental impact ▪ Selective to alien invasive vegetation ▪ Not damaging to natural grasses ▪ No soil residual impact ▪ Offers one solution for foliar and cut-stump ▪ Contains no glyphosate or tallow-amine
Eye contamination
Group 1 - poisonous Group 2 - harmful Group 3 – caution
Lock away from children and uninformed people Wear eye protection Wear chemical gloves Wash hands after use and before eating, drinking or smoking
Oral toxicity
Non toxic LD50 2164mg/kg (male) 1521mg/kg (female)
Dermal toxicity
Non-toxic LD50 >2000mg/kg
Inhalation
Single exposure to vapors is not likely to be hazardous LD50 1.06mg/L for 4 hours
Skin irritation
Prolonged exposure is not likely to cause significant skin irritation
Eye irritation
May cause severe eye irritation
Carcinogenicity
Triclopyr and clopyralid did not cause cancer in laboratory animals
Teratogenicity
Triclopyr did not cause berth defects in laboratory animals. No birth defects were observed in animals given clopyralid at doses several times greater than those expected during normal exposure
Non toxic to mammals Slightly toxic to aquatic organisms Degrades readily through microbial action Average half-life 30-60 days in soil depending on soil type, temperature and moinsture status

▪ Cut 10 cm or less above soil ▪ Cut horizontal ▪ Remove saw dust before application ▪ Treat immediately after felling ▪ Spray at very low pressure ▪ Allow at least 2 hours before rain
Leaf spraying ▪ Plants must be actively growing ▪ Leaves must be green with no signs of stress ▪ Wet all leaves properly to point of run-
▪ Maintain high pressure that generates many small droplets and good canopy penetration ▪ Do not hold nozzle too close to leaves ▪ Allow at least 3 hours before rain ▪ Wait for leaves to dry after rain ▪ Never spray under windy conditions
Triclopyr 50g/ℓ + Picloram 50 g/ℓ
▪ Combination of two powerful active ingredients ▪ Broad target species range ▪ Ready to use formulation ▪ No measuring ▪ No mixing ▪ No complicated calculations ▪ Contains its own wetting agent and dye ▪ No spraying equipment ▪ Minimal PPE
