Group 14 Herbicide

ProForce Fast Draw 100EC Herbicide contains the active ingredient 100g/L Butafenacil. It is registered for the control of a wide range of environmental, perennial and annual weeds in a range of situations including commercial, industrial and public service areas, around agricultural buildings and yards. ProForce Fast Draw 100EC Herbicide is to be used to improve and extend weed control in combination with knockdown herbicide chemistry such as glyphosate. ProForce Fast Draw 100EC Herbicide is an emulsifiable concentrate formulation.

Key Features

• Fast knockdown and quick results. Desiccation occurs within 4 days of application.
• Extends spectrum of weed control when used in combination with knockdown herbicides.
• Improves weed control of key environmental weeds such as Fleabane, Doublegee, Marshmallow, Paterson’s Curse, Wild Radish and Wireweed.
• Possesses activity on both broadleaf weeds and grass weed species.
• Schedule 5 Chemistry. Doesn’t increase the PPE requirements with most knockdown chemistry.
• Non-persistent in the soil environment. Can be used as a true knockdown herbicide.
• Multiple pack sizes, 1L & 10L, to suit the job at hand.

Maximising Performance:

• Application of Fast Draw 100EC should target small actively growing weeds. Subsequent germinations will not be controlled.
• Treat only actively growing weeds not under stress from low moisture, frost, cold, disease or waterlogging. If heavy grazing occurred, allow regrowth before spraying.
• Apply only as a tank mix with recommended rates of knockdown herbicides.
• Addition of Voltage MSO at 0.5% may be beneficial when applying Fast Draw 100EC with a glyphosate herbicide.
• Fast Draw 100EC is an emulsifiable concentrate herbicide which mixes readily with water. Add half the required volume of water to spray tank and start agitation. Add any partner WG herbicide next if it should be added before an EC or knockdown herbicide. Add the measured amount of Fast Draw 100EC next, followed by the knockdown herbicide (if not previously added). Add balance of water to tank and add any adjuvant or additive if recommended for use with the knockdown herbicide such as Voltage MSO. Maintain good agitation at all times until spraying is completed. Don’t store spray mixture overnight.
• Complete coverage of weed is required for maximum knockdown effect.

Weeds Controlled

BROADLEAF WEEDS

• Capeweed (Arctotheca calendula)
  
• Common Storksbill (Erodium cicutarium)
  
• Deadnettle (Lamium amplexicaule)
  
• Dock – seedling (Rumex crispus)
  
• Doublegee / Three Cornered Jack / Spiny Emex (Emex australis)
  
• Fleabane – suppression (Conyza spp.)
  
• Goosefoot (Chenopodium pumilio)
  
• Marshmallow (Malva parviflora)
  
• Medic (Medicago spp.)
  
• Paterson’s Curse (Echium plantagineum)
  
• Prickly Paddy Melon (Cucumis myriocarpus)
  
• Sorrel (Rumex acetosella)
  
• Sowthistle (Sonchus oleraceus)
  
• Sub Clover (Trifolium spp.)
  
• Turnip Weed (Rapistrum rugosum)
  
• Wild Radish (Raphanus raphanistrum)
  
• Wireweed (Polygonum heterophyllum)
  
• Wild Turnip (Brassica tournefortii)

GRASSY WEEDS

• Annual Ryegrass (Lolium rigidum)
  
• Barley Grass (Hordeum leporinum)
  
• Brome Grass (Bromus diandrus)
  
• Stink Grass (Eragrostis cilianensis)
  
• Wild Oats (Avena fatua)

CROP VOLUNTEERS

• Volunteer Canola – conventional variety (Brassica napus)
  
• Volunteer Narrow-Leafed Lupin (Lupinus angustifolius)
  
• Lupins (Lupinus spp.)

These weeds are targeted when Fast Draw 100 EC is applied in tank mix with glyphosate, primarily for broadleaf and grass weed control in non-crop and agricultural service areas.

Mode of Action

Butafenacil, the active ingredient in Fast Draw 100EC inhibits ProtoPorphyrinogen-Oxidase (PPO) in plant chloroplasts, providing rapid knockdown of various broadleaf and grass weeds. PPO is a key enzyme in chlorophyll and heme production. Without the presence of this enzyme, these processes cease to function in susceptible weeds, causing disruption to cell membranes and ultimately plant death. Butafenacil is a non-selective herbicide that essentially destroys plant material on contact. It has very limited soil activity and is non-persistent. It is most efficient on broadleaf, dicot weeds, but possesses some grass weed activity specifically on Annual Ryegrass, Barley Grass, Brome Grass, Stink Grass and Wild Oats.
