Target Weeds
Surefire Flupropanate PCT is registered for the control of a range of problem grasses in pasture and non-crop situations. Key target species include serrated tussock (Nasella trichotoma), Chilean needle grass (Nassella neesiana), African lovegrass (Eragrostis curvula), and other invasive perennial and annual grass weeds. It is particularly valued for its effectiveness against tussock-forming grasses that are difficult to control with other herbicide groups. Always check the product label to confirm registration for your target weed species and the specific land use situation.
Surefire Flupropanate PCT is a soil-applied herbicide used primarily for the control of perennial and annual grasses, particularly in pasture and non-agricultural situations. It is applied as a granule or liquid formulation depending on the registered product form — check the label for your specific pack type. Application is typically via boom spray, hand-held equipment, or granule spreader depending on the situation and area to be treated.
For pasture situations, apply to actively growing target weeds or to areas where weed germination is expected. Flupropanate works through soil uptake, so it is important that treated areas receive adequate rainfall or irrigation after application to move the chemical into the root zone. In dry conditions, effectiveness may be reduced until rain activates the product. Avoid applying to waterlogged soils or where runoff into waterways, dams, or drains is likely.
Do not apply this product to areas where desirable pasture species or crops may be affected by soil residual activity — flupropanate has a long soil persistence and can affect susceptible species well after application. Always refer to the product label for specific application rates, timing, and restraints relevant to your situation and region.
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.
Tips for Best Results
- Activate with rainfall: Flupropanate requires moisture to move into the soil root zone. Aim to apply ahead of forecast rainfall, or be prepared to irrigate treated areas if rain is not expected within a reasonable timeframe.
- Avoid sensitive areas: This product has a long soil residual and can persist for extended periods. Keep well away from desirable pasture legumes, trees, ornamentals, and any areas where replanting is planned, as susceptible species may be damaged long after application.
- Use correct PPE: As a Schedule 6 chemical, appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing must be worn during mixing and application. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for full requirements.
- Prevent off-target movement: Do not apply near waterways, drainage lines, or where surface runoff could carry the product into sensitive areas. Flupropanate is highly water soluble and can move with water movement.
- Store securely: As an S6 poison, store in a locked, clearly labelled chemical storage area away from children, livestock, and foodstuffs. Dispose of empty containers in accordance with label instructions and local regulations.
Always read the label and follow directions for use. The registered label is the legal document governing use of this product.
