How to Use

When to Use

Treat while weeds are actively growing and the ambient air temperature is above 15°C. Best results come from a morning application when no rain is forecast. Recommended application window: April to September.

Application

• Apply to small broad-leaved and grass weeds at an early growth stage; thorough wetting of the leaves is essential for the best results.
• Use a hydraulic or knapsack sprayer, choosing a nozzle that delivers the stated water volume with a medium to coarse spray quality (BCPC definition).
• Use a spray pattern that gives good coverage of the larger weeds being targeted. Results are best where weeds are small (under 10cm tall).
• As a contact herbicide it only affects the parts of the plant it touches, so the whole weed must be treated; leaf areas shaded by, for example, other weeds will not be affected.
• How long control lasts depends on weed size and the weather at the time. Perennial weeds may regrow, as the product has no systemic or residual activity.
• Half fill the applicator with clean water, add the concentrate as required, then mix thoroughly while adding the rest of the water.
• Apply evenly, avoiding overlaps and missed areas. Do not apply in hot, dry weather or in frosty conditions.
