Stature Turf Herbicide

Tips For Use

Tips for achieving the best results:

• Do not apply if frost is likely after application, as this can cause injury to desired turf species.
• Do not apply if temperatures are likely to be above 24°C after application
• Make sure the soil is not waterlogged, as this can cause herbicide injury.
• Make sure weeds are actively growing to ensure the best results.
• Make sure turf is not drought or heat stressed as Stature will not be taken up.
• Stature is safe on all cool and warm season grasses. Make sure the turf is well established before making any application.
• A non-ionic surfactant is recommended.

General Instructions:

• Apply to actively growing weeds. 
• Complete control may take 4 to 6 weeks, depending on weed growth stage at application and also air and soil temperature. 
• A repeat application may be needed in 4 – 6 weeks if lower rates are used in high weed pressure situations or during extended germination periods due to environmental conditions. 
• Use a surfactant for difficult-to-wet weeds. 
• Apply higher rates for higher weed density and growth stage or abnormal weed growth (including early flowering), late season germinations. 
• Application volume: Apply in 200 to 500 L of water. 
• Transient discolouration may occur up to 21 days following application. 
• 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.

Seeding Intervals:

• Rate 1L rate = 4 weeks before any seeding can take place.
• Rate 2L rate = 8 weeks before any seeding can take place.

Restraints:

• Do not apply to home lawns (turf) or any other residential turf.
• Do not apply by aircraft.
• Do not apply as a broadcast spray via backpack.
• Do not apply if turf or weeds are stressed due to dry or excessively moist conditions.
• Do not apply to turf under stress due to disease or insect damage.
• Do not apply to frost-affected turf or if frosts are imminent.
• Do not apply when heavy rain is expected within 4 hours.

Mixing:

• To ensure even mixing, half-fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required amount of product. 
• Agitate thoroughly, then add the remainder of the water. Agitate again before spraying commences. 
• Reseal part-used product container immediately after use.

• Before spraying, notify beekeepers to move hives to a safe location with an untreated source of nectar and pollen if there is potential for managed hives to be affected by the spray or spray drift.

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

• Avoid spray drift and vapour movement onto susceptible crops such as cotton, tobacco, tomatoes, vines, herbaceous plants, lupins, fruit trees and ornamentals. 
• Do not use clippings from treated areas for mulch around vegetables or fruit trees.
