Directions For Use Rates of Application And Timing
5 rows| Characteristic | Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Cereals | 3 – 4 liters | Apply when crop is between the 2 leaf stage and first node stage. Use the higher rate if weeds have more than 3 leaves. Do NOT use on crops undersown with lucerne or clover |
| Grass Seed Crops (cocksfoot, dogstail, ryegrass, timothy, etc) | — | Apply to seedling weeds and well before crop seed head emergence. |
| Pasture | — | New Pasture: Apply after clover has developed 2 trifoliate leaves and when weeds are at the seedling stage. Established Pasture: Use higher rate if weeds are past the seedling stage. |
| Peas | — | Apply between the 5 - 7 node growth stage of the crop. Some temporary twisting of the crop may occur. Do NOT apply with other herbicides. As heavy rain may remove the crops protective waxy layer, delay treatment until crystal violet test confirms crop safety |
| White Clover Seed Crops | — | Apply in spring to actively growing seedling weeds. Do NOT apply after the crop has commenced flowering. |
