 Why the 4 ml Spot Gun / Soil Injector Is so Easy to Use:

Instead of being mixed with Diesel or water, Hexazinone Herbicide is applied undiluted through the Spot Gun.  Fill the backpack with straight Hexazinone and you are ready to go. There is no mixing, no heavy hoses to drag around, no heavy knapsack on your back and virtually no effort.  You can forget about all the time wasted setting up equipment and mixing sprays. Its a go anywhere system and you can use it anytime.

4 ml Spot Gun / Soil Injector Maintenance:

It is essential to clean the 4mL Spot Gun after each use.  The easiest way is to put warm water in the backpack and pump it through the Spotgun. Be careful that the wastewater does not drain onto any desirable plants.  To make the 4mL Spot Gun easier to use, it is recommended to pump Castor Oil or Vegetable Oil through it before commencing applications.

Important Points:

• Hexazinone may be used all year round but since rainfall is required to move it into the soil and to promote active plant growth, quickest results are obtained when it is applied to moist soil and rainfall follows soon after application.
• Hexazinone can remain on the soil surface during extended periods of dry weather and when the rain comes there is little loss of control.
• Do not apply, flush or clean equipment near desirable vegetation as Hexazinone Herbicide residue may affect them.  As a general rule you should not apply Hexazinone Herbicide closer than within twice the height of trees and vegetation you do not wish to control.
