SureFire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide – Non-Selective Weed Killer 1L, 5L & 20L

SureFire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide

SureFire Glyphosate 360 is a concentrated, water-soluble, non-selective herbicide for controlling a broad range of annual and perennial weeds. It is registered in Australia with 360g/L glyphosate present as the isopropylamine salt and is available in 1L, 5L and 20L pack sizes.

Because it is non-selective, spray contacting the foliage, green stems or fruit of desirable plants can cause severe injury or death. Accurate application and careful control of spray drift are therefore important around lawns, crops, trees and ornamental plants.

Weeds Controlled

The SureFire label and manufacturer resources include a wide range of annual and perennial weeds, including:

• Annual ryegrass

• Barley grass

• Barnyard grass

• Brome grass

• Capeweed

• Chickweed

• Clover

• Couch grass

• Crowsfoot grass

• Johnson grass

• Kikuyu

• Oxalis

• Paspalum

• Plantain

• Silver grass

• Summer grass

• Wild oats

• Winter grass

• Variegated thistle

Rates and application timing differ considerably between weed species, so the Directions for Use table should be checked before spraying.

SureFire Glyphosate 360 Mixing Rate

There is no single Glyphosate 360 mix ratio per litre that is correct for every weed.

For many annual weeds in non-cultivated situations, the registered label specifies:

• Knapsack: 75–100mL per 15L water

• Equivalent to approximately 5–6.7mL per litre

• Handgun: 500–700mL per 100L water

• Boom spray: 2–3L per hectare

The lower annual-weed rate is used for weeds up to approximately 15cm high, while the higher rate applies when weeds are larger.

Mixing Rates for Perennial Weeds

Perennial weeds often require different rates depending on the species. Examples from the registered SureFire label include:

• Couch: 200mL per 15L

• Kikuyu: 150mL per 15L

• Johnson grass: 150mL per 15L

• Paspalum: 150mL per 15L

• Plantain: 100mL per 15L

• Guinea grass: 200mL per 15L

• Phragmites: 200mL per 15L

Some weeds have different rates by state, growth stage or application method. Always match the weed to the current SureFire Glyphosate 360 label rather than using a general dosage for every situation.

How to Use SureFire Glyphosate 360

Apply to actively growing weeds using equipment appropriate for the treatment area and follow the weed-specific rate on the label.

• Identify the target weed before mixing

• Measure the required concentrate accurately

• Mix with clean water

• Apply evenly to actively growing foliage

• Avoid excessive runoff

• Prevent spray drift onto desirable vegetation

• Do not apply if rain is expected within 6 hours

• Do not cultivate, sow or otherwise disturb treated annual weeds for at least 1 day

• Allow at least 7 days before disturbing treated perennial weeds

• Do not add additional surfactants, oils or other agricultural chemicals unless specifically directed by the label

Rain within six hours may reduce performance, while heavy rain within two hours may wash product from foliage sufficiently to require another treatment.

Non-Selective Weed Control

SureFire Glyphosate 360 is not a selective lawn herbicide. Spray contacting desirable turf or garden plants may seriously damage or kill them.

Use particular care around:

• Established lawns

• Vegetable gardens

• Fruit trees

• Garden beds

• Ornamental plants

• Native vegetation

• Crops and pasture

Keep the spray directed only at vegetation intended for control.

Important Safety Directions

The current PCT Safety Data Sheet classifies SureFire Glyphosate 360 as S5, with skin and eye irritation hazards and aquatic environmental hazards. Protective gloves, clothing and eye or face protection should be used when handling the concentrate.

• Keep out of reach of children

• Avoid contact with skin and eyes

• Wear protective gloves when preparing the spray

• Wear eye or face protection

• Avoid breathing spray mist

• Wash exposed skin thoroughly after use

• Keep away from food and animal feed

• Prevent spray and concentrate from entering waterways

• Store securely in the original container

The registered label specifically states not to contaminate dams, streams, rivers or waterways and not to spray weeds growing in or over water.

Storage

• Keep in the original closed container

• Store in a cool, well-ventilated area

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the active ingredient in SureFire Glyphosate 360?

It contains 360g/L glyphosate present as the isopropylamine salt.

What is the SureFire Glyphosate 360 mixing rate per litre?

There is no single rate for every weed. For many annual weeds, the label rate of 75–100mL per 15L equals approximately 5–6.7mL per litre. Perennial weeds can require substantially higher concentrations.

How much Glyphosate 360 goes in a 15L knapsack?

For many annual weeds, use 75–100mL per 15L. Selected perennial weeds on the label require approximately 100–225mL per 15L, depending on species. Always identify the weed and use its specific label rate.

Does SureFire Glyphosate 360 kill grass?

Yes. It is non-selective and can control listed grass weeds, including couch, kikuyu, paspalum and annual grasses. It can also damage desirable lawn grasses if they are sprayed.

Can I spray Glyphosate 360 before rain?

No. The label states not to apply when rain is expected within six hours. Heavy rain shortly after treatment can reduce effectiveness.

Does Glyphosate 360 have residual weed control?

The label notes that annual-weed treatments may need repeating for later-germinating weeds, so it should not be relied upon as a residual pre-emergent treatment.

Can I add a wetter to SureFire Glyphosate 360?

Only where specifically directed by the label. The application checklist states not to add additional surfactants, herbicide oils or other materials unless specifically directed.

Can it be used near ponds or waterways?

Do not allow the product or spray to enter dams, streams, rivers or waterways, and do not spray weeds growing in or over water.
