Key Features

• Professional selective herbicide for turf and grassland
• Three-way active blend: 16g/l Dicamba + 101g/l MCPA + 92g/l Mecoprop-P
• Controls perennial weeds in managed amenity turf and amenity grassland
• Also suitable on established grassland for controlling annual and perennial broad-leaved weeds
• Soluble concentrate formulation

How to Use

When to apply

The herbicide can be used at any point in the season, but spraying works best while weeds are actively growing (normally April-September) and the soil is moist. It is less effective in drought conditions. The best weed control is achieved with an early-season treatment in May, although timing should also reflect site management practices, location and the season.

Notes

• Do not graze treated areas for at least 14 days after spraying. Where poisonous weeds such as ragwort or hemlock are present, do not cut or graze the area until these have died back or become unpalatable.
• Do not sow any crop into treated soil for at least 3 months after application.
• Do not mow for 24 hours after treatment so that it can be absorbed; ideally leave 2-3 days.
• Do not use clippings as a mulch; composted clippings may be used 6 months after application.
• Do not apply to new grass until six months after establishment.
• Do not spray on windy days, and prevent drift onto any broad-leaved plants outside the target area.
• Do not spray if rain is expected.
• Do not spray during drought, or when the grass is under stress for other reasons, such as after frost.
