APPLICATION
Ground Application: B-Zone 480 SL Herbicide is a contact herbicide and therefore coverage of the foliage of weeds is essential. To obtain thorough coverage B-Zone 480 SL herbicide should be applied through properly calibrated and maintained spray equipment at a volume of 220 to 440L water per ha and pressure of 240 to 340 kPa. Coverage will be reduced if weeds are being shaded by the crop or any other factors such as drift or dusty leaves that prevent the herbicide reaching target leaves. Best results are obtained when conditions favour rapid growth.

Aerial Application (read instructions for ground application first):
Apply with aircraft fitted with either conventional boom and nozzles or with micronair rotary atomizers, flying between 3 to 4 metres above the ground. Booms should be fitted with D8 to D12 nozzles and calibrated to apply at least 50L/ha with overlapping swaths to prevent striping. Micronairs should be calibrated to apply at least 35L/ha with droplets between 200 to 250 microns and swaths overlapping to prevent striping. Avoid droplets smaller than 200 micron as they are susceptible to evaporation.
DO NOT APPLY under hot and dry conditions. Best results are obtained from late afternoon or early morning spraying.
DO NOT APPLY under strong or gusty wind conditions (more than 5 knots) as striping will occur.

Split Application
Weeds do not germinate at once and application should not be delayed to catch later germinations. When late germinations of weeds occur a second application is advisable before crop canopy closes.

Mixing
B-Zone 480 SL herbicide mixes readily with water. Add the required amount of B-Zone 480 SL Herbicide to the spray tank when mixing and agitate to give even mixing.

COMPATIBILITY
B-ZONE 480 SL HERBICIDE can be applied after pre -planting application of trifluralin or EPTC.
