• Do not sow susceptible crops (see protection of crops on directions of use) for nine months following any application up to 300mL/Ha or for twelve months following an application in excess of 300mL/Ha and up to 500mL/Ha 
• Field peas should not be sown the season following an application of 500ml/Ha where rates in excess of 500mL/ha have been used. Susceptible crops, including field peas, should not be sown for at least two years.
• Do not spray if rain is likely within 3 hours.

High Volume Hand Gun:

• Apply the recommended mix to give full coverage of leaves and stems through a no. 6-8 tip at 700 to 1500 k pa. spray volume for effective coverage of dense two (2) metre high silver wattle should be 30 to 40 litres of spray per 100m²(10m x 10m) of infestation.
