Application of Sabakem Tebuthiuron 200GR 200 by Hand Application, Dispenser or Hand Spreader:

Sabakem Tebuthiuron 200GR Hand Application.

•  It is recommended that gloves be used during hand application.
• Apply Sabakem Tebuthiuron 200GR by uniformly distributing by hand over the desired area after weighing out the recommended quantity of pellets.
• The best way to calibrate yourself is to weigh a normal handful of pellets. If, for example, a handful weighs 20 grams, then this will treat 20 m2 at 1 g/m2 and 10 m2 at 2 g/m2.

Dispenser / Hand Spreader.

•  Apply Sabakem Tebuthiuron 200GR 200 by uniformly distributing by hand after dispensing a single dose (7 g) from the dispenser unit. Apply the pellets at 1 to 2 g/m2. One dose (7 g) will treat 7 to 3.5 m2 at these rates.
• When applying pellets to small regrowth up to 1 m high, distribute them under the regrowth canopy from the root crown or stems to 30 cm beyond the drip zone of the plants you want to control.
• The first significant rain dissolves the pellets moving Tebuthiuron into the soil.
• Additional rainfall takes Tebuthiuron into the root zone where it is absorbed by the roots of woody plants.
• The time required for complete plant death depends on soil type, amount of rainfall, root depth, plant species, plant density and rate of Tebuthiuron used. Some species may go through several defoliations from 6 months to 2 years before dying.
• Timber and regrowth control with Tebuthiuron pellets may be variable when used on soils with high clay content, high organic matter or when treating deep rooted or more tolerant species.

Treating Regrowth along Fencelines.

• To obtain reliable control of regrowth, so it does not interfere with the wires in the fence line, ensure pellets are evenly distributed 2 m either side of the fenceline, i.e. a 4 m swath.
• Please note that large trees outside the treated area may have their roots extending into where the pellets are placed. These trees will be affected and may result in being controlled.

Treating Individual Woody Weed Regrowth.

• Estimate the area to where the roots may extend from the plant; this may be up to 1.5 times the height of the plant from the trunk and well beyond the plant canopy.
• It is essential that this area is treated as evenly as possible, with pellets being spread from the trunk to beyond the foliage drip line formed by the branches to where the roots may extend.
• Do not throw all the pellets at the base of the trunk. This will waste material and could result in poor control.
