Do not mix, store or apply this product in galvanised steel or unlined steel containers or spray tanks, since a highly flammable gas mixture may be formed. Use stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper, fibreglass, plastic or plastic lined containers or spray tanks. Spray tanks, pumps, lines and nozzles should be thoroughly rinsed with clean water following application.
Ensure that the sprayer is free of any residues of previous spray materials prior to mixing.
Use spray solutions promptly as a gradual loss of activity may occur over a period of days following spray preparation.
Withholding Periods/Stock Restrictions:
A Withholding Period for grazing stock is not required.
However, it is recommended that grazing of treated plants be delayed to ensure herbicide absorption.
Certain plants such as Soursob, St. John's Wort and Bracken, may be naturally toxic to stock.
Where known toxic plants are present, grazing should be delayed until complete browning of treated plants has occurred.

Important Notes
Do not mix, store or apply in galvanised steel or unlined steel containers as a highly flammable gas mixture may be formed. Use stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper, fibreglass, plastic or plastic lined containers.
Always read the current registered product label before use. Dose rates and withholding periods on this page are provided as a guide only. The registered label supplied with the product is the legal document and takes precedence. If in doubt, contact TGRM on (07) 5482 1692 or the manufacturer directly.
Timing and Conditions
Initial visible effects on annual weeds take 3-7 days but may not be noticeable for 2-3 weeks under cool cloudy conditions or on some perennial weeds. The herbicide is absorbed through foliage and green stems and moves to the root system.
Water Quality
Reduced results may occur if water contains suspended clay or organic matter (e.g. from dams, streams or irrigation channels) or high levels of calcium, magnesium or bicarbonate ions. Use clean water for best results.
Crop Establishment
Recommended for control of emerged weeds prior to crop establishment. Cultivation and/or planting operations providing suitable conditions for crop emergence are required following application. Where heavy weed growth is present or soil conditions unsuitable, delay planting to allow weed decay and/or development of favourable soil conditions. Incorporation of green or decaying vegetation may retard crop emergence under cold, wet conditions. Vegetation may be reduced by grazing and weed decay assisted by cultivation to leave trash on surface.
Tank Mixtures

Common Questions
What weeds does Evict 540 control?
Evict 540 is a broad-spectrum herbicide that controls most annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf weeds. It's effective in agricultural and non-agricultural settings around farms, commercial areas and industrial sites.
How does Evict 540 work?
Evict 540 is absorbed by plant foliage and green stems, then moves through the plant from the point of contact into the root system. It is inactivated in the soil, so it does not provide residual weed control. Initial visible effects on annual weeds typically take 3–7 days, though results may take longer under cool, cloudy conditions or on some perennial weeds.
What containers should I use for mixing and storage?
Use only stainless steel, aluminium, brass, copper, fibreglass, plastic or plastic-lined containers and spray tanks. Do not use galvanised steel or unlined steel containers, as a highly flammable gas mixture may form. Always rinse spray tanks, pumps, lines and nozzles thoroughly with clean water after application, and ensure the sprayer is free of residues from previous spray materials before mixing.
Can I use Evict 540 before planting?
Evict 540 may be used for weed control on agricultural land prior to sowing most edible or non-edible crops. However, it is not suitable prior to transplanting tomato seedlings. When applying before transplanting into plastic mulch, residues must be removed—either by rainfall or sprinkler irrigation—before planting. Always consult the product label for specific crop requirements.
Is there a withholding period for grazing?
A withholding period for grazing stock is not required. However, it is recommended to delay grazing of treated plants to ensure herbicide absorption. If naturally toxic plants (such as Soursob, St. John's Wort or Bracken) are present, grazing should be delayed until treated plants have completely browned off. Always read the product label for full details.
