GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR PINUS RADIATA FORESTRY SITUATIONS ONLY

Use of Surfactants/Wetting Agents:

• DO NOT add a surfactant/wetting agent when applying by ground or air over Pinus radiata trees.
• For directed foliar applications to unwanted species, use a surfactant/wetting agent appropriately at the rate of 250-500 mL/100 litres of non-ionic surfactant containing 100% active constituent. Adjust rates based on the active constituent level.

Safety to Pinus Radiata Plantations:

• Young pines may be killed or injured if post-planting sprays are conducted under the following conditions:
  1. The soil is gravel/rocky, and subsoils are exposed.
  2. Young pines are under stress due to environmental factors such as drought, moisture stress, or waterlogging.
  3. Soils are poorly drained.

Spray Tank Preparation:

• With the agitator engaged:
  1. Partially fill the tank with water.
  2. Add the correct amount of product for the area to be sprayed.
  3. Top up the tank with water.
• Use strainer and nozzle screens of 50 mesh or coarser, and keep the agitator running during spraying.

Application Equipment:

• Ground Application: Use 100-400 litres per sprayed hectare. Adjust water volume based on the density of the target species.
• Handheld Equipment Application: Use 2000-4000 litres per sprayed hectare.
• Aerial Application: Use a minimum of 5 litres of water for each litre of recommended product in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE Table.

Sprayer Clean Up:

• After use, thoroughly clean all spray equipment with water to prevent corrosion to tanks, lines, and nozzles.
• Aircraft used in application should be thoroughly washed, paying attention to wheels and landing gear.
• Ensure drainage of water used in the cleanup operation is directed to areas that won't damage desirable species through direct contact or root uptake via seepage into the soil.
