SureFire Glyphosate 360 Herbicide: Glyphosate Weed Killer Concentrate in 1L, 5L and 20L

SureFire Glyphosate 360: A Non-Selective Glyphosate Weed Killer

SureFire Glyphosate 360 is a non-selective, systemic, water-soluble herbicide containing 360g/L glyphosate (present as the isopropylamine salt). It kills a wide range of annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds, roots and all, and is registered in Australia under APVMA number 63175. Made by PCT Holdings, this glyphosate weed killer concentrate comes in 1L, 5L and 20L packs, from small home and farm jobs to larger weed management programs.

How Does Glyphosate Herbicide Work?

Glyphosate is absorbed through green leaves and stems, then moves through the plant to the roots and growing points, where it stops the plant making essential proteins. The weed yellows and dies from the inside out. Visible yellowing usually appears within 3 to 7 days, with full control in about 2 to 4 weeks, taking longer in cool or cloudy weather. Once glyphosate reaches the soil, it becomes inactive, so it doesn't stop new weeds germinating later.

What Weeds Does Glyphosate Kill?

The SureFire label lists a wide range of weeds, including:

• Grasses: annual ryegrass, barley grass, barnyard grass, brome grass, crowsfoot grass, silver grass, summer grass, winter grass, wild oats
• Perennial grasses: couch, kikuyu, paspalum, Johnson grass
• Broadleaf weeds: capeweed, chickweed, clover, oxalis, plantain, variegated thistle

Rates and timing differ by weed, so match your weed to the label's Directions for Use table.

What Is Glyphosate 360 Used For?

• Clearing weeds along fence lines, paths, driveways and around sheds
• Spot spraying weeds in garden beds, keeping spray off desirable plants
• Killing an old lawn before re-turfing or re-sowing
• Weed control in non-crop and listed agricultural situations
• Treating perennial grasses like couch and kikuyu creeping into beds

SureFire Glyphosate 360 Mixing Rates

There's no single rate for every weed. For many annual weeds in non-cultivated situations, the registered label specifies:

• Knapsack: 75 to 100mL per 15L of water (about 5 to 6.7mL per litre)
• Handgun: 500 to 700mL per 100L of water
• Boom spray: 2 to 3L per hectare

Use the lower rate for weeds up to about 15cm high and the higher rate for larger weeds.

Perennial weeds need higher rates. Examples from the label (per 15L knapsack):

• Couch: 200mL
• Kikuyu: 150mL
• Johnson grass: 150mL
• Paspalum: 150mL
• Plantain: 100mL

Some rates vary by state, growth stage or method, so always check the current label for your weed.

How to Use SureFire Glyphosate 360

• Identify the target weed and find its rate on the label.
• Measure the concentrate accurately and mix with clean water.
• Spray actively growing weeds evenly, without excessive runoff.
• Don't apply if rain is expected within 6 hours. Heavy rain within 2 hours may mean you need to spray again.
• Don't disturb treated annual weeds for at least 1 day, or perennial weeds for at least 7 days.
• Don't add extra surfactants, oils or other chemicals unless the label directs it.
• Prevent spray drift onto lawns, garden plants, crops and native vegetation.

Non-Selective: Keep It Off Plants You Want

SureFire Glyphosate 360 kills or damages any green plant it touches, including lawn grass, vegetables, fruit trees, ornamentals and native plants. It's not a selective lawn weed killer. Spray only the weeds you want to control, on calm days, and shield nearby plants if needed.

What Is the Best Glyphosate Weed Killer?

Look for a registered 360g/L glyphosate with clear weed-specific rates, pack sizes that suit the job and a label you can follow easily. For general weeds around paths, fence lines and non-crop areas, a 360g/L concentrate like SureFire covers most needs. For weeds in or near water, choose a product specifically registered for aquatic use, as this one isn't.

Safety

SureFire Glyphosate 360 is a CAUTION-labelled (Schedule 5) product that can irritate the skin and eyes and is harmful to aquatic life. Wear protective gloves, clothing and eye or face protection when handling the concentrate, avoid breathing spray mist, and wash exposed skin after use. Keep it away from food and animal feed, and don't contaminate dams, streams, rivers or waterways, or spray weeds growing in or over water.

Storage

Store in the original closed container in a cool, well-ventilated area, out of prolonged direct sunlight and away from children. Don't store or mix in unlined steel or galvanised containers, as contact can form a highly flammable gas. Rinse and dispose of empty containers as the label directs.
