Application Information
W
ith
:
Ground equipment only. Do not apply by air.
Water volume
:
Cereals: 80 - 120 L/acre.
Application Tips
Recommended water volume is essential for optimum weed control. Cold weather and drought may cause a delay in
weed control action.
How it Works
A systemic that disrupts the plant’s translocation system causing the accumulation of plant food in the shoots and
subsequent starvation of the roots.
Expected Results
Weeds
:
Leaf curling and stem twisting should be visible within 4 - 5 days after spraying. Weeds should be dead
within 3 - 4 weeks of application.
Crop
:
Deformed heads, missing florets and twisted awns could result if recommendations are not followed or if crop
is under stress conditions.
Restrictions
Rainfall
:
Rain within 4 - 6 hours will reduce effectiveness.
Grazing
:
Do not graze or feed treated crops to livestock.
Re-cropping
:
No restrictions.
Environmental Precautions
Do not apply directly to water. Do not apply when weather conditions favour drift from target areas.
Leaching
:
Readily leached from soil. In dry soils, it has a longer residual.
Toxicity
