Overview

Max-Out 540 Herbicide is a broad spectrum, non-selective, non-residual herbicide that is not volatile and may be used in agriculture, horticulture, dry drains, forestry and for other uses including general weed control. Max-Out 540 Herbicide is recommended prior to sowing pasture, crops and for the control of wide range of brushweeds. Max-Out 540 Herbicide is absorbed by plant foliage and green stems. It is inactivated immediately upon contact with the soil and does not provide residual weed control. Max-Out 540 Herbicide moves from the point of foliage or stem contact into the root system controlling the plant above and below the ground. Visible effect may take up to 14 days or even longer depending on growing conditions. These effects are a gradual wilting and yellowing of the foliage which advances to deterioration of above and below ground parts. Apply Max-Out 540 Herbicide only to healthy, actively growing plants with adequate leaves for herbicide uptake. Avoid treating plants that are dust or silt laden or affected by drought, frost, water logging, grazing or previous herbicide application. 

Withholding Periods:

After application of Max-Out 540 Herbicide a withholding period for grazing stock is not required (except where ragwort is present). However, it is recommended that grazing or cultivating is delayed for 1 day after treatment of annual weeds or 3 days if perennial weeds are present to ensure absorption of Max-Out 540 Herbicide.

Resistance Management:

Resistance to this herbicide could develop from excessive use. Max-Out 540 Herbicide contains Group 9 Herbicide and belongs to the glycine group of herbicides. Max-Out 540 Herbicide has the inhibition of EPSP synthase mode of action. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Max-Out 540 Herbicide and other Group 9 herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly.
