Product Description

Surefire BUFFALO, BINDI AND BROADLEAF WEEDKILLER contains 200 g/L bromoxynil (as the n-octanoyl ester) and 200 g/L MCPA (as the ethyl hexyl ester) in a liquid hydrocarbon solvent. The label copy we read lists certain broadleaf weeds in wheat, oats, barley, cereal rye, triticale, linseed, grass pastures and turf. The product name refers to buffalo lawns and bindii; check the turf directions on the label for your grass variety before use. Signal word: POISON.

It can damage plants you want to keep. The label says to avoid spray drift and vapour movement onto susceptible crops such as cotton, tobacco, tomatoes, vines, lupins, fruit trees and ornamentals, and not to apply under weather conditions or from equipment that may cause drift onto nearby susceptible plants, crops, cropping lands or pastures. Do not apply by misting machines.

How to use it. See the Application Rates tab. Do not apply if weeds are wilted by dry or cold weather, if frosts are imminent, to diseased or frost-affected turf, or if rain is likely within 4 hours. The label says to apply a minimum of 500 L of water per hectare. Do not harvest, graze or cut for stock food for 8 weeks after application.

Before you buy. The label says it is dangerous to fish: do not contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. When preparing the spray and using the prepared spray, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist, a washable hat, elbow-length PVC gloves and a face shield or goggles. Poisons Information Centre: 13 11 26. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting.

If it rains within 24 hours of application, the effectiveness may be reduced.
Some weeds may need a second application after two weeks if they persist.

Do not spray weeds within a week of mowing; wait at least 7 days after applying before mowing again.
Avoid letting the spray drift onto desirable plants, shallow-rooted trees, or shrubs.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a selective and a non-selective herbicide?

A selective herbicide kills target weeds while leaving desirable plants unharmed - for example, a lawn-safe product that removes bindii and clover from buffalo or couch without damaging the turf. A non-selective herbicide such as glyphosate kills almost any green plant it contacts, so it is used for driveways, fence lines, garden-bed prep and total vegetation control, never on lawns.

What is a pre-emergent herbicide and when do I apply it?

A pre-emergent creates a barrier in the top layer of soil that stops weed seeds from establishing as they germinate. It does not control weeds that are already growing. Apply it before the target weed germinates - late summer to early autumn for winter grass, and early spring for summer grasses like crabgrass and crowsfoot - then water it in.

Will herbicide damage my lawn?

Only if you use the wrong type. Non-selective herbicides (glyphosate) will kill or badly damage turf. Selective lawn herbicides are formulated to be safe on common Australian turf at label rates, but tolerance varies by grass - buffalo is the most sensitive - so always check the label lists your turf type before spraying.
