DIRECTIONS FOR USE

IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All

instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and
successful use of this product.
Warnings
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID SPRAY DRIFT AS THIS CAN SEVERELY
DAMAGE NEIGHBOURING CROPS OR PLANTS.
DO NOT MIX, STORE OR APPLY ROUNDUP POWERMAX IN GALVANISED OR
UNLINED STEEL CONTAINERS OR SPRAY TANKS.
DO NOT leave spray mixtures in tank for long periods and make sure tanks are
WELL VENTED.

Restrictions
Rain within 6 hours may reduce efficacy.

TREATED POISONOUS PLANT SPECIES MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE REGRAZING OR

CONSERVING. Where Ragwort is present users should consult the Code of
Practice on How to Prevent the Spread of Ragwort. Ragwort plants sprayed
with this herbicide are more palatable and contain higher levels of toxins.
Animals should be excluded from treated areas until any ragwort has
completely recovered or died and there is no visible sign of the dead weed. Do
not include treated Ragwort in hay or silage crops.

Applications of lime, fertiliser, farmyard manure and pesticides should be

delayed until 5 days after application of ROUNDUP POWERMAX.

Extreme care must be taken to avoid spray drift onto non-crop plants outside
of the target area, particularly when using near or alongside hedgerows.

Do not spray on to weeds suffering from drought, water-logging, a covering of

dust, heat or frost, otherwise poor control may result.

Do not tank mix ROUNDUP POWERMAX with adjuvants, pesticides or fertilisers

except as specified under Directions for Use – Compatibility.

Weeds controlled

All target weeds must be actively growing at spraying. It is important that all
weeds are at the correct growth stage when treated, otherwise some re-
growth may occur and this will need re-treatment.

PERENNIAL GRASSES must have full emergence of healthy, green leaf.

(Common Couch, for example, becomes susceptible at the onset of tillering
and new rhizome growth, which usually occurs when plants have 4-5 leaves,
each with 10-15 cm of new growth).
A1b July 2021

PERENNIAL BROAD-LEAVED WEEDS are most susceptible around the flowering

stage.

Where long-term PERENNIAL WEED control is sought it is important that perennial

weeds are not disturbed prior to treatment so cultivation should not be carried
out before spraying.

ANNUAL GRASSES AND BROAD-LEAVED WEEDS should have at least 5 cm of

leaf, or 2 expanded true leaves, respectively. In set-aside, annual grasses are
best treated at full ear emergence, or before stem elongation. Application
during stem extension phase of annual grasses e.g. Black-grass and Brome
species on set-aside between the end of April and end of May, may result in
poor control and require re-treatment.

BRACKEN should be treated after frond tips are unfurled, but pre-senescence.
OTHER SPECIES - recommendations for specific areas of use are given in the
Recommendation Tables. See booklet attached.

This product will not give an acceptable level of control of Horsetails (Equisetum
arvense) – repeat treatment will be necessary.

Weed resistance strategy

There is a low risk for the development of weed resistance to ROUNDUP
POWERMAX. Strains of some annual weeds (e.g. Black-grass, Wild oats and
Italian Ryegrass) have developed resistance to certain herbicides which may
lead to poor control using those products. 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, crop adviser or product
manufacturer (Monsanto).

Growers are encouraged to implement a weed resistance strategy based on

(a) good agricultural practices and (b) good plant protection practices by:
- Following label recommendations
- The adoption of complimentary weed control practices
- Minimising the risk of spreading weed infestations
- The implementation of good spraying practice to maintain
- effective weed control
- Using the correct nozzles to maximise coverage
- Application only under appropriate weather conditions
- Monitoring performance and reporting any unexpected results

Following Crops
Upon adsorption, the herbicidal properties of ROUNDUP POWERMAX are lost,
permitting drilling of crops within 48 hours of application.

Mixing and spraying

ROUNDUP POWERMAX is a water-soluble granular formulation.
The free-flowing, dust-free granules dissolve rapidly and completely in water
and can be applied in spray volumes ranging from 80-400 l/ha using tractor-
mounted and knapsack sprayers.
Specialised spraying equipment such as weed wiper applicators may be used
where indicated.

Correctly calibrate all sprayers under field or use conditions prior to application.

Spray Quality
A MEDIUM or COARSE quality spray (BCPC definition) should be applied for
optimum results and to reduce the risk of drift.
Conventional hydraulic sprayers with a pressure range 1.5-2.5 bar
is suitable.

Filling the Sprayer

Half fill the spray tank with water and, on tractor-mounted sprayers, start
agitation. Add the appropriate quantity of ROUNDUP POWERMAX. Top up the
tank to the level required.
When using a chemical induction bowl or hopper, half fill the bowl with water
and add ROUNDUP POWERMAX until within 2 cm (1 inch) of the surface of the
water. With the rinsing system on, open the valve to empty the bowl into the
main tank. Repeat until the required amount of ROUNDUP POWERMAX has
been introduced.

Knapsack Sprayer Applicators – use in non-crop areas , aquatic situations and

orchards.

When used at a walking speed of 1 m/sec to apply a swath of 1 m width, most

knapsack sprayers deliver 200 l/ha spray volume (or 10 litres per 500 m2). To
apply 2.0 kg/ha of ROUNDUP POWERMAX, therefore, use 20g product for each
2 litres of spray liquid required.

A1b July 2021

When used as above, knapsack sprayers fitted with low volume nozzles typically
deliver 100 l/ha spray volume (or 10 litres per 1000 m2). To apply 2.0 kg/ha
ROUNDUP POWERMAX in this case, use 40g product for each 2 litres of spray
liquid required.

Hand-held Weed Wiper Applicator (e.g. Weed Wiper Mini) – use in non-crop,
and orchards.

Apply a solution of 180g ROUNDUP POWERMAX per 1 litre of water adding a

water-based dye if required. Care should be taken to avoid dripping onto
wanted vegetation.

A suitable dye may be obtained from Certis, telephone (01980) 676500.

Spot Gun Applicators - treatment of individual weeds in orchards and non-crop

situations. Apply 5 ml of spray to target weed, using a narrow cone TG-3 or TG-
5 nozzle.

COMPANY ADVISORY INFORMATION

This section is not part of the Product Label under the Plant Protection Products
Regulations 1995 and provides additional advice on the product.
A1b July 2021

General Information
ROUNDUP POWERMAX is a foliar-acting herbicide with broad-spectrum activity.
It is translocated from treated green growth to underground roots, rhizomes and
stolons, providing control of both annual and perennial weeds. ROUNDUP
POWERMAX is rapidly adsorbed onto particulate matter in soils
and water and is quickly degraded by the micro-organisms present in soil and
aquatic bottom sediments. When used as directed any water subjected to
ROUNDUP POWERMAX spray drift may be used immediately for irrigation
purposes. Until degraded, the active ingredient in ROUNDUP POWERMAX,
glyphosate, is practically immobile in soils and is, therefore, unlikely to
contaminate groundwater. All edible and non-edible crops may be sown or
planted at specified intervals following the use of this product.

Extensions of Authorisation
These extensions of the authorised use provide for the use of ‘Roundup
Powermax’ in respect of crops and situations other than those included on the
product label (above). Neither the efficacy nor the phytotoxicity of the
product for which these Extensions of authorisation have been granted have
been assessed and, as such, the user bears the risk in respect of failures
concerning its efficacy and phytotoxicity.

Roundup PowerMax has the following Extensions of Authorisation for minor use.

Users must have a copy which can be downloaded from

www.secure.pesticides.gov.uk/offlabellist before use.

Pre harvest : Buckwheat, Canary Seed, Millet, Sorghum (20141313), Hemp and
Quinoa (20141321) grown for bird seed; Lupins,(20141321) and Rye, (20141307);
Outdoor Rhubarb,(20141320).
Inter-row: Bilberry, Blueberry, Blackcurrant, Cranberry,
Gooseberry Redcurrant,and Whitecurrant, (20141316); Chestnut, Hazlenut,
Kentish Cob, Walnut,(20141317); Outdoor crops of Beetroot, Carrot, Garlic,
Horseradish, Leek, Onion, Parsley root, Parsnip, Salad Onion, Salsify, Shallot,

Non food crops: Miscanthus, Game cover, Hemp, Woad, non-fruiting hops, soft
fruit and top fruit, (20141320)

Agronomic advice
Applied pre-harvest of specified crops, ROUNDUP POWERMAX provides, in
addition to weed control, a diverse range of harvest management benefits
accruing from the removal of green material from the crop.

After application, large concentrations of decaying foliage, stolons, roots or

rhizomes should be dispersed or buried by thorough cultivation before crop
drilling. Direct drilling into such a mat of decaying material may occasionally
cause a slight check to crop growth.
A1b July 2021

To maximise the safety of ROUNDUP POWERMAX to operator, consumer and

environment, the label recommendations and the DEFRA/HSE/NAW
publication “Code of practice for using plant protection products” of January
2006 should be adhered to.

Effects of weather
See Directions for Use (Restrictions).

ROUNDUP POWERMAX will remain efficacious at low but not freezing

temperatures however, the onset of symptoms will be delayed.

A covering of dew may reduce efficacy where run off occurs.

Symptoms of weeds
Symptoms of treatment are generally seen first 7-10 days, or longer (if growth is
slow), after spraying. These take the form of leaf reddening followed by
yellowing and are usually quicker to appear on grasses than on broad-leaved
weeds. Reaction to nettles is slow.

Sprayer Hygiene
It is essential to thoroughly clean out the entire sprayer system, using a
recommended cleaner, between applying ROUNDUP POWERMAX and other
pesticides.

Disposal
Follow the guidance on the disposal of surplus spray solution, tank washings,
concentrate and containers as given in Section 5 of the DEFRA/HSE/NAW
publication “Code of practice for using plant protection products” of January
2006.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Standard sprayer:

1. Fill the spray tank with 2/3 of the required quantity of water.
2. Switch on the agitation and re-circulation.
3. Add the granules “progressively” and when completed add the remaining
water. Continue agitation for a minimum of 5 minutes.

(Alternatively, a re-circulation washed sieve on top of the tank may be used if

available. First fill the tank with required volume of water and slowly add
granules to the sieve as they dissolve).

Induction hopper:
Follow Stages 1 and 2.

3. Half fill the bowl with water.

4. Add product until within 2 cm of the water’s surface.
