General Instructions:

• Numchuk Quad Herbicide is a suspension concentrate formulation containing four (4) active constituents which kill a range of standing weeds and emerging seedlings. 
• Affected plants are discoloured, and often growth is distorted. 
• The product is absorbed through foliage and translocated throughout plants, and the residual components are absorbed through the roots.
• The application should give 8-12 months of effective weed control. 
• Duration and effectiveness of control depend on the amount of chemical applied, soil type, rainfall, weed species and other conditions. 
• Sufficient rainfall (20 to 30 mm either as rainfall or irrigation) to wet the soil through the weed root zone is necessary within 2-3 weeks of application to make the product effective. 
• A delay in rainfall beyond three (3) weeks may result in weeds germinating from the depth and surviving. 
• Heavy rainfall on light soils may cause movement of the herbicide out of the weed seed zone, resulting in reduced weed control.

Mixing:

• Do not mix or load within 20m of any well, dam, intermittent or perennial stream. 
• Partially fill the spray tank with water and maintain agitation while adding the required quantity of Numchuk Quad.
• Agitation should continue after filling and during spraying. 
• If the spray is allowed to stand, agitate thoroughly before resuming spraying.

Compatibility:

• Tank mixing with other products is not necessary. 
• It is advisable that a small-scale compatibility test be carried out before tank mixing with other products.

Application:

• Hand Gun:
  • Apply 1100 L spray volume per ha.
• Boom Spray:
  • For medium volume spraying, apply through a spray boom calibrated to ensure even coverage.
  • Apply by ground boom only in a minimum of 100 L/ha.
  • Use spray nozzles suitable to prevent spray drift onto surrounding non-target vegetation.
