Method 240 SL Herbicide is a soluble liquid herbicide for systemic control of broadleaf weeds, brush, vines, and woody invasive species. Contains aminocyclopyrachlor (Group4 herbicide). Designed for non-crop and vegetation management such as rights-of-way, pastures, industrial sites, and conservation land.
Active Ingredient & Chemistry:
Aminocyclopyrachlor 240g/L (potassium salt)
Formulation: Soluble concentrate (SL)
Mode of Action:
Auxin-mimic herbicide. Absorbed by foliage and roots, translocates to growing parts causing stunting, twisting, necrosis, and death.
Features & Benefits:
• Broad spectrum control of broadleaf weeds, brush, vines, and woody invasive plants
• Systemic activity for thorough control
• Flexible application methods: foliar spray, individual plant treatment, basal bark, cut stump, trunk injection
• Rainfast in approximately 1hour
• Supports land restoration in rangelands and conservation areas
Use & Application:
• Target sites: Non-cropped and non-grazed areas (pastoral land, roadsides, industrial sites, conservation land, rail corridors)
• Application rates:
o Broadcast spray: 500mL–1.3L/ha
o Individual plant treatment (foliar): 200–500mL per 100L water
o Basal bark/cut stump: 5–10L per 100L basal oil or water with 10% methylated seed oil
o Trunk injection: 0.5mL per cut
• Ensure thorough coverage; adjuvants like methylated seed oil may improve uptake
Weeds Controlled:
Effective against a wide range of broadleaf weeds, brush, and woody plants.
Safety & Hazards:
• Not classified as a hazardous substance requiring specific GHS labeling
• Contains propylene glycol (<10%) and potassium hydroxide (5–10%)
• Use appropriate PPE and avoid skin/eye contact
Mixing & Application Instructions:
• Shake or agitate concentrate before use
• Add to partially filled tank with agitation, then top up
• Maintain agitation until spraying is complete
• Do not leave spray mixture overnight; flush equipment after use
Environmental & Crop Safety Notes:
• Non-corrosive, non-flammable, and non-volatile
• May injure desirable plants if drift occurs; avoid non-target exposure
• Observe setback distances and crop safety instructions
• Do not plant crops on treated sites until label-specified period or bioassay confirms safety
Stewardship & Training:
• May require completion of stewardship training before purchase/use
Regulatory:
• Low toxicity to mammals and birds at expected exposure levels

Method 240 SL is a Group 4 herbicide for woody and herbaceous weeds in non-crop situations (pastoral grazing land, rights-of-way, industrial sites, conservation and bare-ground areas). Shake the concentrate, add to a partly filled tank with agitation and top up; do not leave spray mixture overnight. Label application methods and rates: foliar spot spray 200–500 mL per 100 L of water by handgun or backpack, wetting foliage thoroughly; basal bark, cut-stump and stem treatments 5–10 L per 100 L of basal oil adjuvant (stems under 15 cm diameter for basal bark); trunk injection 0.5 mL undiluted per cut with one cut per 5 cm of trunk diameter; broadcast 500 mL–1.3 L/ha in 100–400 L/ha of water. Apply to actively growing weeds; rainfast in about 1 hour. Do not apply by aircraft, apply only in winds of 3–20 km/h, not during surface temperature inversions, and observe the mandatory downwind buffer zones on the label. Grazing withholding nil (export slaughter interval 12 days); do not plant food, feed or fibre crops on treated sites for at least one year. Refer to the registered label for weed-specific rates.
