Lontrel Advanced Herbicide

Tips For Use

Stem Injection Application:

• To make a stem injection pocket at waist height, use a 3⁄4 length axe with a blade of 5-7cm. 
• The axe cut must be through the bark and deep enough to place all the chemicals in contact with the sapwood.
• The chemical must be applied immediately after the injection pocket is made. 
• Apply the chemical with a Phillips 5 mL vaccinator fitted with a tree injector kit which can be accurately calibrated. 
• Set vaccinator to deliver 1 mL of the diluted mix.
• When treating regrowth less than the width of the axe, ensure the chemical does not run out the sides of the cut, as reduced control will result. 
• This can be overcome by using the corner of the axe to make the pocket in the stem.

Restraints:

• Do not apply to weeds that may be stressed (inactive growth) due to prolonged periods of extreme heat or cold, moisture stress (waterlogging or drought) or previous herbicide treatment as reduced levels of control may result.
• Do not apply later than the 8 leaf stage of the canola.
• Do not compost material from treated plants or crops before reading the protection of crops, native and other non-target plants section.
• Do not spray if rain is likely within 3 hours.
• Do not apply more than one application per crop.
