Application Information
How to Apply
:
With Calmix spreader or shaker. Do not apply by hand. Do not apply by air.
Application Tips
Do not use near lawns or flower beds. Do not apply closer than 1.5 times the height of desirable trees, ornamentals
or plants. Roots from large trees may extend well beyond the height of the tree and may extend beneath areas to be
treated. Be cautious where trees are in close proximity to the treatment site. Do not apply on slopes where water
erosion may carry chemical onto areas of desirable vegetation. Do not contaminate water used for irrigation or other
domestic uses.
How it Works
Systemic action, enters plant via roots.
Expected Results
Vegetation turns brown and dies. No new growth will appear, resulting in bare ground. Rapidity and duration of
control will depend on amount of chemical applied, soil type and environmental conditions. Poor results may be
expected if inadequate application rates, soil erosion removes chemical from treated area when applied on slopes or
insufficient rainfall to activate chemical.
Restrictions
Rainfall
:
Moisture will activate and carry the herbicide into the root zone.
Movement in Soil
:
Once fixed in the soil, there is very little lateral movement. Pellets and granular can be carried by
erosion.
Environmental Precautions
Toxic to small mammals, birds, aquatic organisms and terrestrial plants. This product will harm broadleaved and
grass plants in the vicinity of the treatment area. Do not apply to exposed roots of trees and ornamentals.
Runoff
:
Use a buffer strip between treated area and sensitive, non-target sites by using the recommended buffer strip.
Leaching
:
This product may leach in coarse textured soils or where there is a high water table.
Other Restrictions
:
Do not use in residential areas. Do not make more than one application per year. Do not apply
on slopes where water erosion may carry the chemical onto areas of desirable vegetation. Workers must not handle
