- Sensitive Crops.
How It Works:
BATON 800WSG Is absorbed through foliage and mimics plant growth hormones causeing uncontrolled growth and plant death.
It Mainly Affects:
- Broadleaf Weeds while Grasses tolerate it.
Application Rates: (General Label Guidance).
Ground Spraying:
- 100–300 L water/ha.
Aerial Spraying:
- 30–100 L water/ha.
Knapsack:
- 50 g per 10 L water.
Spot Spraying:
- 500 g per 100 L water.
Higher Water Rates Are Recommended For:
- Larger Weeds.
- Dense infestations.
Mixing instructions: (The Label Says).
- Fill tank about two-thirds with water.
- Start agitation.
- Add BATON 800WSG granules.
- Continue agitation while filling tank.
- Ensure product fully dissolves before spraying.
Best Timing: (Best Results Occur When).
- Weeds are seedlings or young rosettes and Plants are actively growing.
Avoid Spraying When:
- Drought-stressed Weeds.
- Frosted Weeds.
- Hardened mature Weeds.
- Large Perennial Weeds often need repeat treatment.
Clover Safety:(One major advantage).
Improved clover safety compared with ester 2,4-D products.
But:
- High rates or poor timing can still suppress Clover.
Spray Drift Warning:(The Label Strongly Warns)
“Spray drift may cause serious damage to other desirable plants”.
The Label Specifically Advises:
- Use low-drift nozzles.
- Avoid fine droplets.
- Spray in light steady winds only.
- Be especially careful if sensitive vegetation is within 0.5 km.
Safety & Hazards:
The Label Classifies BATON 800WSG As:
- Harmful if swallowed or inhaled.
- Causes serious eye irritation.
- May cause allergic skin reactions.
- Causes organ damage through repeated exposure.
- Very toxic to aquatic life.
PPE Required:(The Label Requires).
- Waterproof gloves.
- Boots.
- Overalls.
- Eye protection.
Also:
- Avoid breathing dust or spray mist.
Environmental Risks:(The Label Warns It Is).
- Very toxic to aquatic life.
- Very toxic to soil organisms.
- Toxic to terrestrial vertebrates.
Avoid:
- Waterways.
- Runoff.
- Overspray into Shelterbelts or Gardens.
Resistance Management:
- Repeated use of Group 4 Herbicides can lead to resistant Weeds.
The Label Notes:
- Some Perennial Weeds require repeat spraying.
- Tank mixing may improve spectrum and resistance management.
Key Mistakes To Avoid:
- Spraying mature weeds as control drops significantly.
- Fine spray droplets as it Increases drift risk.
- Spraying stressed Weeds as it can result in poor uptake and poor kill.
- Expecting Perennial Weeds to die in one pass.
- Repeat applications may be needed.
- Planting sensitive Crops too soon.
- The label notes possible short-term soil activity.

BATON 800WSG is:
- A modern low-volatility 2,4-D Herbicide.
Excellent For:
- Pasture Weed control.
- New Pasture.
- Cereals.
- Better on Clover safety than Ester formulations.
- Lower odour and lower vapour drift risk.
But:
- Still capable of serious off-target damage if misused.
- Requires careful drift management.
Caution:
Use strictly according to label directions.
