Scrubba Herbicide

Tips For Use

Restraints:

• Do not apply to weeds that may be stressed (not actively growing) due to prolonged periods of extreme cold, moisture stress (water-logged or drought-affected), poor nutrition, presence of disease, damage or previous herbicide treatment, as reduced levels of control may result.
• Do not spray if rain is likely within one hour or if the foliage is wet from rain or dew.
• Do not burn off, cut or clear blackberry or other woody weeds for at least six months after spraying.
• Do not apply by aerial application in the wind over 15km/hr and air temperatures above 35°C.
• In areas prone to flooding, treatment should commence after any annual flooding as such areas flooded within 9 months following application may have reduced results.
• In Tasmania For Blackberry: Do not treat bushes carrying mature or near mature fruit.
• For Native Vegetation: Use of Scrubba Herbicide on native vegetation must be done in accordance with State and/or Local legislation.

Protection Of Crops, Native And Other Non-Target Plants:

• Crops susceptible to Scrubb Herbicide include, but are not limited to: peas, lupins, lucerne, navy beans, peanuts, soybeans and other legumes, cotton, flowers, fruit, hops, ornamentals, shade trees and Pinus spp., potatoes, safflower, sugar beet, sunflowers, tobacco, tomatoes, vegetables and vines. Scrubb Herbicide is damaging to susceptible crops during both growing and dormant periods. 
• Grasses are normally unaffected and establish quickly after treatment.
• Picloram, one of the active constituents in this product, can remain in the soil for extended periods depending on soil type and application rate, rainfall, temperature, humidity, soil moisture and soil organic matter.
• Do not apply under weather conditions or from spraying equipment that may cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands, pastures, waterways or native vegetation.
• Do not allow physical spray drift onto waterways, native vegetation and susceptible crops.
• Do not apply close to or in areas containing roots of desirable vegetation, where the treated soil may be washed onto areas growing (or areas to be planted with) desirable plants.
• Do not apply on sites where surface water from heavy rain can be expected to run off to areas containing or planted with susceptible crops or plants.
• Do not move soil, which may have been treated to areas where desirable plants are to be grown.

Protection Of Livestock:

• Poisonous plants may become more palatable after spraying, and stock should be kept away until they die. 
• Many plants remain poisonous after death, and stock should not be allowed access it, as there is a likelihood that they may graze the dead material. Such material should be burnt if possible.

Protection Of Wildlife, Fish, Crustaceans And the Environment:

• Do not contaminate streams, rivers or watercourses with chemical or used containers.

Storage:

• Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. 
• Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. 
• Do not store near feedstuffs, fertilisers or seeds.
