Protection of crops, native and other non-target plants

• Do not apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray drift onto nearby susceptible plants, crops, cropping lands or pastures.
• Do not apply to crops or pastures that will be used to make compost, mulch or mushroom substrate.
• Susceptible plants include chickpeas, clover, cotton, faba beans, field peas, fruit trees, lentils, lupins, lucerne, medics, ornamentals, potatoes, safflower, tomatoes, vegetables, grape and kiwifruit vines, vetches and wattles.
• Do not sow field peas, faba beans, lentils or vetches the season after an application at 250 mL/ha.
• Spread crop straw evenly at harvest and incorporate, bale, slash or burn stubble (where legal) as soon as practical.
• In the north, susceptible crops need 100 to 150 mm of rain or irrigation before plantback. In the south, they need a 25 mm rain event and two weeks of moist soil.
