Roundup Biactive is a special formulation with built-in 'aquatically approved' surfactant. Roundup Biactive controls many aquatic weeds, as well as an extensive range of unwanted grasses, broadleaf weeds, brush weeds, woody weeds and unwanted trees that original Roundup controls. Roundup Biactive can be used for weed control in aquatic and sensitive environmental areas such as channels, drains, streams and rivers that are in or near all situations including tree and vine crops. Roundup Biactive also provides all the other benefits of Roundup including a translocating mode of action, no harmful effect on the environment, very low toxicity to humans and animals, and application flexibility.
Recommended Uses Roundup Biactive is specifically developed for use in aquatic situations. It may also be used in many other situations such as domestic areas (home gardens), drains and channels, margins of dams, lakes and streams, commercial, industrial and public service areas, agricultural buildings and other farm situations. In forests; peanuts, cotton, soybeans, sugarcane, navy beans and chickpeas (QLD & NSW only - applications using selective equipment). In tree and vine crops including avocado, banana, blueberries, citrus fruit, custard apples, duboisia, figs (dessert), guava, kiwifruit, litchi, mango, monstera (fruit), nuts (including almond, pecan, macadamia, pistachio and walnut), olives, pawpaw, persimmons, pome fruit, raspberries, stone fruit, tea and vineyards. For control of sugar cane ratoon regrowth. For pasture management. For post plant, pre emergence treatments in onions (TAS only). For pre-harvest cotton (NSW and QLD only - for control of bathurst burr, nogoora burr, winter annual weeds including sowthistle, milk thistle and seasonal suppression of nutgrass).
Refer to label for all instructions and directions for use.

Mode of Action Roundup Biactive belongs to a group of herbicides called glycines. Roundup Biactive acts on the enzyme pathway and works by inhibiting the production of three essential amino acids that are unique to plant life.
Chemical Group glycine
General Instructions Roundup Biactive is a non-volatile, water soluble liquid product with non-selective herbicidal activity against many annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and grasses.
Roundup Biactive may be used for weed control in agricultural land prior to sowing any edible or nonedible crop, but not prior to transplanting tomato seedlings.
Roundup Biactive is absorbed by plant foliage and green stems. It is inactivated immediately in the soil and does not provide residual weed control. Roundup Biactive moves through the plant from the point of contact to and into the root system. Visible effects on annual weeds take 3-7 days but on perennial weeds may be not be obvious for 2-3 weeks or longer in some cases. Visible effects of control may be delayed by cool or cloudy weather at and following treatment.
When applying this product prior to transplanting crops into plastic mulch, care must be taken to remove residues of this product from the plastic prior to transplanting. Residues can be removed by 2 cm of natural rainfall or by applying water via a sprinkler irrigation system.
Mixing
Roundup Biactive mixes readily with water. Note: Reduced results may occur if water containing soil is used, eg. water from ponds and unlined ditches, or if hard water containing calcium salts is used.
Do not mix, store or apply this product or spray solutions of this product in galvanised steel or unlined steel containers or spray tanks, since a highly flammable gas mixture may be formed.
Use stainless steel, brass, copper, fibreglass, plastic or plastic-lined containers or spray tanks. Aluminium is susceptible to corrosion by Roundup Biactive and should not be used. Ensure the spray tank is free of any residue or previous spray materials.
Use spray solutions promptly and certainly within 5 days, since a gradual loss of activity will occur. Fill the spray tank with one half the required amount of clean water and add the proper amount of Roundup Biactive. Mix well before adding the remaining portion of water. Placing the filling hose below the surface of the spray solution will prevent excessive foaming. Removing hose from tank immediately after filling will prevent back siphoning into water source. Do not use mechanical agitators as these may cause excessive foaming, Spray tanks, pumps, lines and nozzles should be thoroughly rinsed with clean water following application to prevent corrosion.
Tank Mixtures/Compatibility
Roundup Biactive may be tank-mixed with the following herbicides, insecticides and additives.
Read and follow all label directions, restraints, plant-back periods, withholding periods, regional use restrictions and safety directions for the tank mix products.
Mixing Instructions for All Tank Mixtures
1. Fill the spray tank 1/3 to 1/2 full will clean water and start agitation.
2. Where crystalline ammonium sulphate is recommended, wash 2% w/v (2 kg/100 L spray solution) through a top mesh-screen into the tank and mix thoroughly.
3. Add recommended herbicide/insecticide/additive to the spray tank and mix thoroughly.
4. Add Roundup Biactive and the remaining water. Mix thoroughly.
5. Add surfactant, if required, near the end of the filling process to minimise foaming.
6. Always maintain adequate agitation during application and use the tank mix promptly.
Tank Mixtures - Herbicides
Atrazine flowable (Agricultural uses only DO NOT apply the tank mix for Barnyard grass control.), 2, 4-D ester, dicamba, Glean, Simazine flowable, Oust , Yield, Stomp 330E, Ally, Logran 750G, Flandor 500, LVE MCPA, and Striker.
The addition of Striker at 75 mL/ha to recommended rates of Roundup Biactive prior to planting wheat or barley will improve knockdown and increase the speed at which treated weeds develop visible signs of phytotoxicity.
Add crystalline ammonium sulphate as per directions below.
Tank Mixtures - Additives
Crystalline Ammonium Sulphate
RATE: 2% w/v (2kg/100L spray solution). (DO NOT apply the tank mix for Barnyard grass control). The addition of crystalline ammonium sulphate to Roundup Biactive, when used to control ANNUAL weeds, MAY improve the performance of Roundup Biactive under adverse environmental conditions such as cool, cloudy weather, and assist in minimising the antagonism in tank mixes of Roundup Biactive and flowable triazine herbicides. Use only crystalline ammonium sulphate, NOT prilled or granulated forms. Ammonium sulphate may be corrosive to metal parts of the sprayer. Thoroughly flush tanks, pumps and nozzles with water after use.
Pulse Penetrant
RATE: 200 mL/100 L spray solution
Add when treating bracken (boom application), Gorse, Eucalypt suckers and Lantana.
Wetter TX Surfactant
RATE: 200 mL/100 L spray solution
Add when treating Annual ryegrass in Spring (from beginning August to end October). Wetter TX is not a general purpose surfactant and should be used only where recommended.
Tank Mixtures - Insecticides
This product is compatible with the following insecticides: Imidan, Le-Mat, Lorsban 500, Perfekthion EC400, Sumithion ULV, and emulsifiable concentrates of dimethoate and fenitrothion. Other insecticides have not been tested.
Application
Roundup Biactive is a non-selective translocated herbicide. Direct spray contact, or even slight drift, may cause severe injury or destruction of any growing crop or other desirable plants including trees. Clean all equipment after use by thoroughly washing with water.
Boom Equipment
Use recommended rates of Roundup Biactive in 75 to 200 litres of clean water per hectare. When using Roundup Biactive at 50O mL-1.5 L/ha spray volumes in the range 25-100 L/ha are preferred. Fan nozzle equipment is recommended, using pressures in the range 240-280 kPa. Boom height must be set to ensure double over lap of nozzle patterns at the top of the weed canopy.
High Volume Application
(eg. Knapsack/Handgun Equipment)The dilution rate is given as vol/1 litre eg: 10 mL Roundup Biactive per litre of water. This is equal to 150 mL Roundup Biactive per 15 litres of water or 1 litre per 100 litres of water. Adjust equipment to achieve an even spray pattern. Apply to ensure complete and uniform wetting of all foliage. For handgun equipment, a D6 spray tip (Spraying Systems Australia P/L) or equivalent, and an operating pressure of 400-700 kPa are recommended.
Low Volume Application
(eg. Gas Gun or Splatter Gun) Apply as an even spray to cover all foliage.
Refer to Weeds Controlled for the dilution and volume of mixture to be applied. The dilution is specified as "Low volume mixture, Roundup Biactive : Water". For example, a 1:9 mixture equals one part Roundup Biactive plus 9 parts water.
Wiper Equipment
Wiper Equipment (eg. ropewick, canvas, felt or carpet applicators) may be used to apply Roundup Biactive onto weeds growing in oilseed crops, sugarcane, cotton, seed and pod vegetables, tree and vine crops specified in this label, pasture and non-crop areas. Avoid contact with desirable vegetation. Operate wiper equipment a minimum of 10 cm above the crop or pasture. Weeds should be at least 15 cm above the crop or pasture at time of application. Speed of travel should be no greater than 8 km/h, Best results are achieved at lower speeds and where two applications are made in opposite directions (double pass).
Where weeds are of variable height, or occur in dense infestations or clumps, some plants may not be contacted by the herbicide solution. In these cases repeat treatment may be necessary.
Mix only enough herbicide solution for immediate requirements. Do not store mixed solution for more than a few days. Flush out equipment with water after use.
RATE: Mix 1 litre Roundup Biactive with 2 litres clean water to prepare 33% solution.
Roundup Biactive may be used according to the above directions for suppression or control of many annual and perennial weeds.
See Weeds Controlled tables for specific use recommendations.
Controlled Droplet Application Equipment (CDA)
Use the following table as a guide for achieving the correct application rates using the Micron Herbi or similar equipment. See WEEDS CONTROLLED tables for specific rates and use recommendations. For hand held equipment a walking speed of approximately 1 m/sec (4 km/h) is recommended.
DO NOT add oils to Roundup Biactive/water mixture, otherwise difficulty in application and reduced weed control may occur.
CAUTION: CDA equipment produces a fine spray pattern which is not easily visible. Ensure spray pattern or drift does not contact foliage or any other green tissue of desirable plants, since severe injury or destruction may result.
Aerial Equipment
Aerial equipment may be used to apply Roundup Biactive only in pasture or fallow situations prior to establishment of field crops, fodder crops, or new pasture, and for pre-harvest application to cotton and sorghum crops. DO NOT use in intensive horticultural cropping areas. Use recommended rates of Roundup Biactive specified in this label up to a maximum limit of 4 L/ha. For Micronair and boom equipment, apply in a minimum spray volume of at least 20 L/ha. Droplets with an average size (or VMD) of 250-350 micron dia. are recommended. Swath

Avoid Drift
DO NOT use with spraying equipment or under meteorological conditions which could be expected to cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible plants, adjacent crops, crop lands or pastures. Equipment settings which produce fine droplets (150 microns or less), winds over 8 km/h, inversion conditions, still air and hot dry days all contribute to drift.
Application Checklist
Do not treat weeds under poor growing or dormant conditions (such as occur in drought, waterlogging, disease, insect damage or following frosts) as reduced weed control may result. Reduced efficacy may also occur when treating weeds heavily covered with dust or silt.
Do not add additional surfactant, or mix with any other agricultural chemicals, herbicide oils, or other materials except as specifically directed on this label.
Roundup Biactive is absorbed by plant foliage and stems. Rainfall soon after application may wash the herbicide off the weeds, particularly if the weeds are not growing actively, under stress, or under conditions of low light intensity or darkness.
Delay treatment of plants wet with dew or rain, if water droplets run-off when plants are disturbed.
Do not disturb treated weeds by cultivation, sowing or grazing for one day after treatment of annual weeds and 7 days for perennial weeds, to ensure herbicide absorption.
A Withholding Period for grazing stock is not required. However, it is recommended that grazing of treated plants be delayed (as recommended above) to ensure herbicide absorption. Certain plants such as Soursob, St. John's Wort and Bracken, may be naturally toxic to stock. Where known toxic plants are present, grazing should be delayed until complete browning of treated plants has occurred.
