Tussock Herbicide

Tussock Herbicide is a selective herbicide used to control a range of unwanted grasses in the Australian landscape. It contains the active ingredient flupropanate, which has residual action in the soil after application. This means it’s able to kill germinating weed seedlings over time, making it a great choice for controlling long-lived perennial weeds.

An effective, residual, selective herbicide, Tussock Herbicide (flupropanate) offers an ideal solution for controlling hard-to-kill weeds over time. It boasts a range of benefits, including: 

  • Active ingredient flupropanate: One of the most popular and potent chemicals for eradicating tough weeds, flupropanate is residual, offering long-term control. 
  • Systemic, selective nature: Absorbed systemically via the plant’s roots, Tussock Herbicide is selective. This means it will only kill target weed species, without devastating other desirable pasture species, when applied correctly. 
  • Long-lasting residual effect: Tussock Herbicide can kill germinating seedlings up to four years after the initial treatment, reducing the need for reapplication. 
  • Diverse application methods: Tussock Herbicide can be applied via ground (boom spraying), aerial, or spot spraying. 

Active ingredient: Flupropanate @ 745g/L

Withholding period details (WHP):
There are two withholding periods (WHPs), which apply one after the other for this chemical, and both must be observed.

The first, the grazing and cutting WHP, depends on the type of spraying used.

Stock that have been grazed in treated areas after the grazing and cutting WHP has passed must then be moved to untreated areas or fed on clean feed for at least 14 days before slaughter. The requirement for moving animals from treated to untreated areas or feeding them with clean feed for at least 14 days before animals are sent to slaughter applies permanently to treated areas, whether spot sprayed or sprayed in some other way.

Spot Spraying: Spot spray treatment is the direct hand spraying of individual plants in an area with no spraying of any surrounding areas. Do not graze or cut for stock feed, areas that have received spot treatment, for at least 14 days after spraying. Do not graze stock in treated areas for at least 14 days prior to slaughter or being milked for human consumption.

Blanket treatment (treatment other than spot-spraying): Do not graze treated areas or cut for stock feed for 4 months after application.

Do not graze stock in treated areas for at least 14 days prior to slaughter or being milked for human consumption.

Tea Tree Oil Plantations:
Lactating cows and goats must not be grazed in treated areas.
