Brushweed Herbicides	Description
Glyphomax™ XRT	Glyphomax XRT is a unique formulation of glyphosate containing patented surfactant technology which enables rapid penetration into the plant, resulting in improved rainfastness. Glyphomax XRT will severely damage pasture grasses, is non-residual and is deactivated by contact with soil.
Grazon™	Grazon is ideal in situations where gorse growth is vigorous and spraying is carried out during the late spring/summer period before drier summer conditions are experienced. Grazon is an easy to mix and measure, grass friendly herbicide designed for the control of gorse, broom and other brushweeds.
T-MAX™	T-MAX is a grass friendly herbicide that contains the highly potent active ingredient aminopyralid. T-MAX is a soluble concentrate that mixes readily with water. T-MAX has the unique advantage that it can be used to control a wide spectrum of broadleaf weeds in both pasture and forage brassicas.
Tordon™ 2G	Tordon 2G is a grass friendly, granular herbicide that is activated by moisture after application to weeds or soil. After being absorbed by the root, Tordon 2G moves via the sap stream to all parts of the plant. Being a granule, Tordon 2G is convenient to carry at all times. This allows treatment of weeds when you see them, even when it is raining.
Tordon Brushkiller™ XT	Tordon Brushkiller XT is an easy to mix and measure, grass friendly herbicide developed for New Zealand conditions. This unique herbicide contains the highly potent, active ingredient aminopyralid which provides even greater regrowth suppression. This means Tordon Brushkiller XT is even more robust, making it the fi rst choice for all gorse control – especially in hot, dry, dusty, frosty, salty conditions or when plants have been slashed or grazed. Tordon Brushkiller XT also has improved activity on blackberry, broom, woolly nightshade, sweet briar and wattles.
Versatill™	Versatill is a water soluble herbicide that is grass friendly and can be used in pasture and cropping situations to control a range of broadleaf weeds. Versatill can be applied aerially to control Old Man’s Beard in mature native forest. Versatill mixed with Tordon Brushkiller XT can be used to release Radiata Pine from gorse, broom and wattles (silver and brush only, green wattle is not controlled). Contact your local Dow AgroSciences Territory Manager for further advice.
