GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Before reading these instructions, review the restraints.

APPLICATION

AC Outlaw Herbicide may be applied at any time of the year. Treatments become effective after sufficient rainfall has occurred to move the chemical into the root zone where it is absorbed by woody plants. Applications just prior to seasonal rainfall give the most rapid response.

Herbicidal activity will continue for several seasons after application. During this time, woody plants may go through repeated defoliations and re-growth until death occurs. A single application is normally effective for several years. Forage grass production increases as woody weed competition is reduced. Increased grass production is dependent on adequate rainfall and an acceptable grazing management program.

It is important to allow grasses to seed, and seedlings to establish after treatment, before grazing pressure is increased. Areas treated with AC Outlaw Herbicide may be sown with suitable pasture species. Consult your agricultural specialist for details on suitable seeding rates, timing, and fertilizer application program.

The residual action of AC Outlaw Herbicide may be impaired if fire occurs before clay pellets are dissolved and the chemical has moved into the root zone.

HAND APPLICATION

Gloves must be used during hand application. Apply AC Outlaw Herbicide by uniformly distributing by hand over the desired area after weighing out the recommended quantity of pellets. The best way to calibrate is to weigh a normal handful of pellets. If, for example, a handful weighs 20 grams, then this will treat 20 to 40 m2 at the rate of 0.5 to 1g/m2 Dispenser Pack.

Apply AC Outlaw by uniformly distributing by hand after dispensing a single dowse (7g) from the dispenser pack. Apply the pellets at 1 to 2 g per m2. One dose (7g) will treat 7 to 3.5m2 at these rates.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

When applying pellets, distribute them under the tree or regrowth canopy from the root crown or stems to 30 cm beyond the drip zone of the plants you want to control. The time required for complete plant death depends on soil type, amount of rainfall, root depth, plant species, plant density, and rate of AC Outlaw Herbicide used. Some species may go through several defoliations from 6 months to 2 years before dying. Timber and regrowth control with AC Outlaw Herbicide pellets may be variable when used on soils with high clay content, high organic matter, or when treating deep-rooted or more tolerant species.

TREATING INDIVIDUAL TREES BY HAND

Estimate the area within 30 cm beyond the drip zone, i.e., the area under the plant canopy. It is essential that this area is treated as evenly as possible with pellets being spread from the tree trunk to slightly beyond the drip line formed by the branches. DO NOT throw all the pellets at the base of the tree trunk. This will waste material and could result in poor control.

TREATMENT OF CLUMPS OF TREES OR PATCHES OF REGROWTH BY HAND

AC Outlaw Herbicide pellets are particularly effective in treating areas of regrowth. Estimate the area within 30 cm beyond the drip zone and apply the AC Outlaw Herbicide pellets on a grid pattern to uniformly cover the area. Pellets should be applied over the top of regrowth if at all possible in an attempt to maintain a good distribution pattern.

TREATING FENCE LINES BY HAND

Estimate the area to be treated, along the fence line, and then apply AC Outlaw Herbicide pellets on both sides of the fence as evenly as possible within the area extending 30 cm out beyond the drip zone.

AERIAL AND GROUND APPLICATION

Apply AC Outlaw Herbicide by uniformly distributing with an approved aircraft or ground-driven air equipment, after calibration to achieve the desired application rate.

AC Outlaw Herbicide may be applied at any time of the year. Treatments become effective after sufficient rainfall has occurred to move the chemical into the root zone where it is absorbed by woody plants. Applications just prior to seasonal rainfall give the most rapid response.

Herbicidal activity will continue for several seasons after application. During this time woody plants may go through repeated defoliations and re-growths until death occurs. A single application is normally effective for several years.

Forage grass production usually increases as wood weed competition is reduced. Increase grass production is also dependent on adequate rainfall and an acceptable grazing management program.

It is important to allow grasses to seed and seedlings to become established after treatment before grazing pressure is increased. Areas treated with AC Outlaw Herbicide may be over-seeded with suitable pasture species. Consult your agricultural specialist for details on suitable seeding rates, timing, and fertilizer application program.

The residual action of AC Outlaw Herbicide may be impaired if fire occurs before clay pellets are dissolved and the chemical has moved into the root zone.

AERIAL APPLICATION

Aerial application of AC Outlaw can be carried out by fixed-wing aircraft or helicopter fitted with specially designed application apparatus. Use a Positive Metering Device (Meterate) for fixed-wing aircraft and Isolair or similar precision equipment for helicopters.

A minimum flying height of 20 meters above the canopy of the target plants must be maintained. The swath width is dependent on the type of spreader used. The target areas must be correctly marked out and flown with the aid of a GPS (Global Positioning System) or markers clearly visible to the operator.

GROUND APPLICATION

Ground applications of AC Outlaw Herbicide can be carried out in suitable areas by accredited operators.

CLEANING APPLICATION EQUIPMENT

Thoroughly clean all traces of AC Outlaw Herbicide from application equipment holding pellets, e.g., bucket and gloves, after use.
