Ozcrop Dicamba M Herbicide

Tips For Use

When Spraying Dicamba M In Turf:

For best results: 

• Do not mow turf for at least 2 days before or after application.
• Do not spray when rain seems likely to occur within 4 hours.
• Do not spray when weeds are wet with dew or rain.
• Do not spray if soil fertility is low or if the soil is water-logged.
• Do not spray weeds under stress (heat or waterlogging, etc).
• Only spray actively growing weeds.
• Ensure thorough wetting of all weed foliage.
• Do not fertilise turf for 2 weeks after spraying.

Mixing Directions: 

• Add the required amount of the product directly to the tank and mix well. 

Application:

• For Boom Application: Apply with a properly calibrated boom spray using not less than 50 litres of water per hectare unless indicated otherwise in the Critical Comments column found in the directions for use. 
• For Aerial Application: Apply at least 25 litres of total spray volume per hectare. The aircraft should fly as low as practical under the prevailing conditions to minimise drift. 
• For High Volume Application: Apply a minimum of 1500 Litres per hectare.
• Knapsack Application: A 15 Litre Knapsack treats 150 square metres.

Spray when the weeds are young and actively growing. A temporary wilting may be evident in crops after application. If seasonal conditions are unusually late or dry, seek further advice, as damage results from spraying under these conditions. Growers should seek advice before spraying recently released cereal varieties. There is a nil tolerance of pea seed contaminates in  Cereal grain, and less than 100% control of Volunteer Peas could result in dockage.

Restraints:

• Do not spray when rain seems likely to occur within 4 hours.
• Do not spray when weeds are wet with dew or rain or under stress from drought, low soil fertility, extreme cold or water logging.
• Do not spray outside recommended crop growth, as crop damage may result.
• Do not apply to crops or grass pastures with clover, lucerne or medics.
• Do not apply to legume pastures.
• Do not apply to plants suffering from stress.
