Product Description

TEMPRA (SureFire Tempra 750 WG) is a selective herbicide containing 750 g/kg halosulfuron-methyl (Caution poison), in 25 g, 100 g and 500 g packs. The label lists nutgrass in sugar cane, corn, sorghum and irrigated cotton (shielded or directed application), and Mullumbimby couch and nutgrass in established turf of the species named on the label: bent grass, buffalo grass, carpet grass, couch and couch hybrids, Durban grass, kikuyu, perennial ryegrass, Queensland blue couch and tall fescue. The label rate is 65 to 130 g per hectare, or 1.3 g per 100 square metres, with a wetter. Home gardens, ornamentals and vegetables are not listed.

Damage and restraints. The label warns that use on newly seeded, sodded or sprigged turf that is not well established may cause damage or delayed establishment, as may use on turf weakened by weather or by scarifying, coring, aerating or top-dressing. Avoid spraying non-target vegetation. Do not let spray drift onto nearby susceptible plants or crops: spray or drift that touches cotton may cause severe injury. Do not apply more than 200 g per hectare per season, after the onset of frosts, through any irrigation system, or if heavy rain is expected within 48 hours. Delay mowing for 2 days after treatment. Irrigation or rain within 2 hours of application reduces control.

Before you buy. The label says it is harmful if swallowed and that dust irritates the eyes; avoid contact with eyes and skin and wash hands after use. It is very highly toxic to duckweed: do not contaminate dams, rivers or streams with the product or the used container. Keep people and pets off treated areas until the spray has dried.

Use at least 80 L of water per hectare.
Add surfactant as directed.

 

Mixing Instructions:
Gradually add the measured granules to a partially filled spray tank while stirring.

How to Apply:

Apply to actively growing weeds:
Nutgrass: Ensure at least 5 cm of new leaf growth.
Mullumbimby Couch: Ensure at least 2 cm of new growth.
Repeat treatments if new growth justifies it.
Avoid application if irrigation or rain is expected within 2 hours—it reduces effectiveness.

 

Weed symptoms appear gradually:
Leaves and seed heads turn yellow, then dry out.
Effects begin in 7–10 days, with full results in 4–6 weeks.

 

Important Limits:

Max Application: 200 g/ha per season.
Avoid use after frost starts or before heavy rain (within 48 hours).
Only one Group B herbicide application per season to prevent resistance.
Do not apply through irrigation systems.

 

Compatibility:

Works well with: Glyphosate, Diclofop-Methyl, Dicamba/MCPA, Bromoxynil/MCPA, and 2,4-D (amine).
Do not mix with paraquat or ametryn—they reduce effectiveness.
Avoid mixing with organophosphate insecticides:
Do not apply 7 days before or 3 days after using this herbicide.

 

Crop Planting Guidelines (After Application):

Corn/Maize, Sorghum, Sugarcane: 2 months
Wheat: 3 months
Cotton: 4 months
Other crops (except Sugarbeet): 24 months
Sugarbeet: 36 months

 

Protecting Plants, Animals, and the Environment:

Avoid spraying near non-target plants, crops, or waterways.
Prevent runoff from treated land for at least 6 days.
Do not feed treated grass clippings to livestock or use them for mulching.

 

Storage & Safety:

Store in the original container, away from sunlight, in a cool and ventilated area.
Avoid swallowing or contact with eyes and skin. Wash hands after use.
Keep treated areas off-limits to people and pets until dry.

 

In Case of Emergency:

If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre: 131 126 (Australia).

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a licence to buy or use these?

Most products here are unrestricted and can be bought and used by anyone following the label. A few are restricted chemical products that need a chemical user permit in some states - those are flagged on the product page. If in doubt, check the poison schedule on the label.

How do I work out the mixing rate?

The label gives a rate either per 100 L of water (a concentration) or per hectare or per 100 square metres (an area rate). For a knapsack, work out the area one tank will cover, then scale the per-area rate to that tank volume. Calibrate the sprayer before you start.

Why do the same chemicals come under different brand names?

Once an active ingredient comes off patent, several companies register their own version. A generic glyphosate 360 and a big-brand glyphosate 360 are the same active at the same strength - the difference is formulation quality, surfactant load and price.
