Speedy 250 20L Herbicide

Speedy 250 is a rapid, non‑residual Desiccant/Contact Herbicide used to control a wide range of Fibrous Rooted Grasses and Broadleaf Weed Control in Market Gardens, Nurseries, Orchards, Vineyards, Forestry Nurseries, Headlands, Drains, Pre‑sow/ Pre‑cultivation and Inter‑row Weed Control.
Active Ingredients:
135g/L PARAQUAT as the Dichloride Salt and 115g/L DIQUAT as the Dibromide Salt in the form of a Coluble Concentrate.
Boom Spraying Water Volumes and Rates:
- Seedlings: 1.9–2.8 L/ha (Boom); 190–280 mL/100 L (Gun); 19–28 mL/10 L (Knapsack); 200–300 L/ha.
- Established Annual & most Seedling Perennials: 2.8–3.7 L/ha (Boom); 280–370 mL/100 L; 28–37 mL/10 L; 300–400 L/ha.
- Established Annual & many Established Perennials: 3.7–5.5 L/ha (Boom); 370–550 mL/100 L; 37–55 mL/10 L; 400–500 L/ha.
- Use Low Pressures (200–400 kPa) to minimise drift; thorough coverage essential.
- Do not use in Mistblowers.
Situations / Guidance:
- Pre‑cultivation/ Pre‑sowing, before Crop Emergence, Inter‑row Weeding (Shield Crop), Orchard/Vineyard Under‑tree Weed Control (avoid young Bark/contact), Berryfruit dormant season basal Cane/Bush application, Forest Nursery Beds, Headlands, Drains (directed spray 750 mL/100 L).
- Can be tank‑mixed with compatible residual soil Herbicides for longer control.
Mixing & Application:
- Use clean water.
- Partly fill tank, add product, then top up; maintain agitation.
- Contains wetting agent — extra wetter usually unnecessary (add non‑ionic wetter in dusty/waxy situations).
Key Restrictions:
- Certified handler / tracked substance; detailed record keeping required.
- Only for agricultural or authorised biosecurity uses (not for amenity/public areas).
- Do not carry on passenger service vehicle.
- Maximum single application and annual total = 4.4 L/ha (equates to 600 g/ha paraquat).
- May be applied once at max rate or split but total must not exceed 4.4 L/ha in any 12‑month period.
- Ground and aerial droplet size requirements (coarse→very coarse).
- Wind limits: do not apply when wind <3 km/h or >20 km/h.
- Not for Mistblowers.
Buffer Zones:
- Larger buffers for Aerial ops and threatened Plants; Aquatic Buffer required at higher rates.
- Application of Speedy 250 requires the utilisation of down-wind Buffer Zones to minimise or eliminate possible off target spray drift into sensitive areas.
- Applicators of Speedy 250 must comply with the following Buffer Zones Distances as shown below.

Hazards & PPE:
- DANGER — fatal if Swallowed, Inhaled or Absorbed through Skin..
- Acute Oral/Inhalation/dermal toxicity high..
- Skin and serious Eye Irritation; Skin Sensitiser.
- STOT (repeated) Category 1.
- Very toxic to Aquatic Life and Terrestrial Vertebrates/Invertebrates; inactivated by Soil.
- When Mixing/Applying or if exposure likely: Chemical‑resistant Coveralls, Gauntlet Gloves, Boots, Face Shield and Organic‑vapour Respirator (Minimum).
- Do not Eat/Drink/Smoke while using.
- Wash Protective Clothing after use.
Environmental / Spill:
- DO NOT contaminate waterways; DO NOT mix/decant near drainage.
- Protect birds and bees; keep birds away during and until desiccation.
- Toxic to bees — do not spray where bees forage or near hives until spray dried.
- Spills: full PPE, contain, absorb with Clay/Soil/Vermiculite, collect, prevent runoff, wash with Detergent Solution (avoid Solvents), notify Authorities if Drainage Contaminated.
Storage & Disposal:
- Store Locked, Secure, Cool, Ventilated, away from Food/Seed/Medicines/Fertilisers and Incompatible Classes.
- Triple rinse containers; add rinsate to spray tank; recycle via AgRecovery or approved facility.
- Dispose of waste product at Approved Hazardous Waste facility.
First Aid:
- If Poisoning Suspected, urgent Hospital.
- Contact National Poisons Centre 0800 POISON (0800 764 766).
- Do NOT induce Vomiting.
- For Breathing stopped use Mouth‑to‑nose Resuscitation.
- Flush skin/eyes immediately; remove contaminated Clothing; seek Urgent Medical Care.
Resistance & Limitations:
- Group 22 (bipyridylium).
- Resistance may develop—use in rotation with other modes of action.
- Limitations: VERY TOXIC, not effective on some Perennial/Rhizomatous Grasses, can damage Young Trees/Vines by Bark Contact; requires careful Handling.
Caution:
Must be used strictly according to label directions.
