On soils classified as sands and loamy sands, crop injury can occur if the organic matter is less than 3%.

Application Information
Water
:
Ground equipment: 80L/acre, aerial: 20L/acre.
Surfactant required at 0.2% v/v.
Mixing instructions
Fill tank to ¾ full with water; use continuous agitation; add Reclaim A. Pre-slurrying with water may be necessary
where there is little or no agitation, or an injection system is being used or where herbicide is first added to a tank
other than the spray tank. Add Reclaim B, then non-ionic surfactant and then an anti-foaming agent (if required) then
finish filling the tank.
Application Tips
Apply in spring or early summer after weeds have fully emerged and when weeds are actively growing. Ensure that
there is adequate coverage of target weeds. Drift of even small amounts of Reclaim on to sensitive plants or into
areas where sensitive crops may be grown can cause injury. Do not apply under conditions prone to drift (i.e. high
winds and temperature inversions).
How it Works
Reclaim herbicide interferes with cell division causing leaf cupping, stem distortion and eventually the death of the
plant. Reclaim is absorbed through the leaves and roots of the plant.
Expected Results
Perennial weeds show distorted stems and cupped leaves, which turn yellow and then brown. Usually, native grass
increases in abundance as result of reduced competition. Poor results may be expected if weeds are not actively
growing in late summer or as a result of environmental stress such as frost or drought.
Restrictions
Rainfall
:
No effect. Do not apply if rainfall is forecast for the time of application.
Grazing
:
Do not allow lactating dairy animals to graze treated areas within 7 days of application. There is no
restriction on livestock (except lactating dairy animals) grazing in treated areas. Withdraw meat animals from treated
fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Do not harvest forage or cut hay within 30 days of application.
