SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION
STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
Store in the tightly sealed, original containers in a dry, secure, well-ventilated place away from fertilisers, seed,
feed and food. Store out of direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children, unauthorised persons and animals.
SPILLS AND DISPOSAL
In case of spillage it is important to take all steps necessary to:
鈥? Avoid contamination of all areas where vegetation grows - this is an extremely potent selective
herbicide, and contaminated areas may not support vegetation for many years.
鈥? Avoid eye and skin contact.
鈥? Avoid contamination of waterways.
Procedure for spill:
(1) Keep all bystanders away.
(2) Wear full length clothing and PVC gloves.
(3) Sweep up dust thoroughly and shovel into an uncontaminated drum, adding any broken containers.
(4) If agricultural soil has been contaminated consider the option of removing and disposing of the contaminated
soil to allow vegetation to grow and to stop further contamintion.
(5) Dispose of by burying in an approved secure landfill site..
(6) Clean all contaminated equipment by rinsing in a dilute solution of 1 litre sodium hypochorite (0.2%) solution,
to 200 litres of water.
Note: In the unlikely event of a major prepared spray spill, consider the possible long term consequences to the
vegetation. If good agricultural land is likely to be affected it may be necessary to contain and absorb the spill
with a soil or sand dam. Disposal of sand/soil dam and any contaminated soil should be carried out as above.
Dispose of empty, used containers by:
(a) Triple rinsing with water. Add the rinsings to the tank mix or dispose of rinsate in a disposal pit away from
desirable plants and their roots, and watercourses. On-site disposal of undiluted product is unacceptable.
(b) Breaking, crushing or puncturing the container to prevent reuse.
(c) Disposing of in a local authority landfill site that does not burn its refuse. If there is no local authority landfill
readily available in your area, bury the containers under at least 50 cm of soil at a licensed/approved
disposal site. DO NOT burn empty containers or product.
FIRE/EXPLOSION HAZARD
This product is non-flammable and non-explosive. Extinguish warehouse and factory fires using fine water spray
or foam. Do not allow fire-water to enter drains.
OTHER INFORMATION
This product is an extremely potent selective herbicide. Care should be taken to avoid all contact with non-target
vegetation. Do not apply on or near shrubs, trees, lawns, or crops other than wheat. Do not drain or flush
equipment near desirable trees or other plants, or in areas where soil seepage may occur. Do not allow spray to
drift onto adjacent crops, fallow land or non-target desirable plants. All types of winter cereals (wheat, barley,
oats, triticale and cereal rye) can be replanted the following season after use without restrictions. All other crops
require a replanting interval. Refer to the product label booklet for full details of replanting intervals. Do not apply
to irrigation drains or channels. Do not contaminate dams, streams, creeks, rivers or groundwater with the
product, its diluted mixtures or application equipment.
Triasulfuron technical is practically non-toxic to birds, bees and fish.
Note: This product is a registered agricultural chemical and must therefore be used in accordance with the container label directions.
A comprehensive package of toxicological and environmental data for the active ingredients of this product has been
