• As a general guide, annuals should be sprayed when young and perennials just before the appearance of the bud stage.
• Extremes of cold or drought are unfavourable.
• The best conditions are when soil is moist, weather fine and rain unlikely within 6 hours following application.
• Do not spray weeds outside the stages indicated in “Critical Comments” as damage, loss of yield or inadequate weed control may result. Do not spray in high winds.

Protection of Crops, Native and Other Non-Target Plants:
