Physical Description:
Contains 500g/litre of terbuthylazine in the form of a suspension concentrate.
Chemical Group:
Triazine
Uses:
Terbaflo is a herbicide for selective control of grass and broadleaf weeds in forestry, established lucerne, maize, sweetcorn and peas. Terbaflo is the main herbicide for tree release in forestry (Douglas Fir & Radiata), and farm shelter belt situations. Terbaflo is also used for seedling grass weed control and seedling catsear and dandelion control in established lucerne crops that are at least two years old. Terbaflo is very commonly used in tank mixes for total vegetation control in waste areas, footpathes, industrial areas and roadsides. For long term annual broadleaf weed control in peas, Terbaflo is used after sowing, but before seedlings emerge.
Benefits:
Terbaflo is the largest forestry release product sold in New Zealand because it can be applied over the top of seedling trees to control grasses and broadleaf weeds. In peas it is an extremely cost effective and easy chemical to use for controlling most common weeds. It is one of the few chemicals that can be used successfully for controlling clumpy grasses such as annual, perennial ryegrasses and cocksfoot in established lucerne crops.
Terbaflo has a long half life, and is one of the mainstays in total vegetation control mixes. Terbaflo's mode of action is both contact and root absorption which allows for pre - emergence weed control that has a residual period as well as contact action for emerged weeds.
Application:
Application rates do vary from crop to crop so it is wise to read the label prior to use. Terbaflo can be tank mixed with Parable, Glyphosate 360 and most other commonly used non selective herbicides. When mixing with other products add the second herbicide to a partly filled spray tank and then add the Terbaflo whilst adding the last of the water.
WITHHOLDING PERIOD:
-
Stock: Do not graze for 4 weeks after spraying.
-
Plantback Period: Terbaflo does have a period of residual action in the soil and these residues can adversely affect crops such as tomatoes, curcubits, brassica's, beetroot, lettuce and beans. Treated areas should be ploughed and thoroughly cross cultivated. An indicator crop such as radish can be sown to see if residues remain. In the case of a customer enquiring regarding residues it is best to refer them to Agrochemical Specialist.
Mode of Action:
Terbaflo is mainly root absorbed but some foliar uptake does occur. It is then translocated in the plant to inhibit photosynthesis at the growing point.
Environmental Fate:
Terbaflo does have a period of residual action in the soil and these residues can adversely affect crops such as tomatoes, curcubits, brassica's, beetroot, lettuce and beans. Treated areas should be ploughed and thoroughly cross cultivated. An indicator crop such as radish can be sown to see if residues remain. Normally Terbaflo has a soil half - life of 30 - 60 days.
In the case of a customer enquiring regarding residues it is best to refer them to Agrochemical Specialist.
Rainfall:
Rain within 3 hours following post emergence applications may reduce effectiveness. Subsequent rainfall is necessary to move the chemical in to the root zone of the weeds. Pre - emergence applications may be made when rain is imminent or even while rain is falling.
CAUTION: Avoid use over or near desirable plants or in areas where there roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved by rainfall or irrigation to their roots.
