Bow & Arrow Herbicide

Tips For Use

General Instructions:

• Apply to actively growing weeds.
• Transient discolouration may occur on Kikuyu, Carpet grass and Queensland Blue Couch.
• Varietal differences in certain Buffalo grasses (e.g. ST85) may produce more pronounced effects, and it is recommended that small areas be tested for turf safety before large-scale application occurs.
• Avoid exceeding application rates through overlapping sprayed areas.
• Use a surfactant for difficult-to-wet weeds.
• For best results, the turf and weeds should be actively growing at the time of treatment.
• Complete weed death may take up to 6 weeks.
• Faster results can be expected on smaller weeds.
• Due to residual effects of diflufenican over-seeding treated areas within 3 months of application may inhibit the establishment of the turf grass.

Mixing:

• Shake the original container before use.
• Agitate continuously to ensure thorough mixing before and during application.
• Only mix sufficient chemicals for each day’s work.

Surfactants:

• Surfactants (if used) should be added after Bow and Arrow Herbicide, and water are mixed when the spray tank is almost full.

Mowing:

• Avoid mowing during the 3 to 4 days before and after treatment.

Compatibility:

• To avoid hydrolysis, Bow & Arrow Herbicide needs the spray tank water to be within a pH range of 5 to 8.
• No information is available that indicates physical compatibility with other products.
• Tank-mixing other products with Bow & Arrow Herbicide cannot, therefore, be recommended.

Restraints:

• Do not apply if weeds or turf are under stress or when frosts are imminent.
• Do not use if rain is expected within 4 hours.
• Do not use clippings as mulch around other plants or for composting.
• Do not use it on Bent grass or Winter grass golf and bowling greens.

Precautions:

• Manual Handling of turf:
  Hand-weeding and transplanting should not be performed before 2 weeks after spray application unless workers wear overalls (or equivalent clothing) and chemical-resistant gloves.

Re-Entry Period

• Do not allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried.
• When a prior entry is necessary, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical-resistant gloves.
• Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

Protections:

• Protection Of Crops, Native And Other Non-Target Plants.
• Do not apply under weather conditions or from spraying equipment that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures.
• Spray drift from Bow & Arrow Herbicide application may cause injury to herbaceous plants, vegetables, fruit crops, vines, ornamentals and trees.
• Do not use clippings from treated areas for mulch around vegetables or fruit trees.
