Poachek Turf Herbicide

Tips For Use

General Instructions:

• Poachek Turf Herbicide is a selective post-emergence herbicide formulated specifically for the control of winter grass. 
• If used on turf heavily infested with winter grass, it is important that a programme of sprigging and reseeding be carried out after the treatment. 
• This product is not persistent in the soil, and reseeding can occur 2 weeks after application. 
• Large areas of dead winter grass may form a thatch that may be conducive to the spread of turf diseases, and it is important that a preventative disease control program be carried out. 
• Do not use when temperature exceeds 25°C. 
• Do not use on Red Fescues or Kikuyu.

Mixing and Application:

• Poachek mixes readily with water.

• Do not use a wetting agent.
