Tips For Use

General Instructions:

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

Restraints:

• Do not apply if crops or weeds are stressed due to dry or excessively moist conditions.
• Do not apply if rain is likely within 6 hours.

Application/Mixing Information:

• This product mixes readily with water. 
• Half-fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required amount of product. 
• Agitate thoroughly before adding the remaining water.
  • Boom Spraying – Use 30 to 120 litres of water per hectare. Use a minimum of 170 litres of water per hectare for Linseed.

Protection Of Crops, Native And Other Non-Target Plants:

Drift Warning:

Legume Tolerance:

• The use of MCPA is preferred to 2,4-D Amine (Amicide) or Ester (Estericide) in situations where legumes are undersown in the crop.
