GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

REGAIN 200 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 which 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 woody weed competition is reduced. Increased 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 REGAIN 200 may be overseeded with suitable pasture species. Consult your agricultural specialist for details on suitable seeding rates, timing, and fertilizer application program.

The residual action of REGAIN 200 may be impaired if fire occurs before clay pellets are dissolved, and the chemical has moved into the root zone. This product is liable to leaching and movement in the soil under heavy rainfall, and application should be delayed if intense rainfall is expected.

HAND APPLICATION

It is recommended that gloves be used during hand application. Apply REGAIN 200 by uniformly distributing by hand over the desired area after weighing out the recommended quantity of pellets. Calibrate by weighing a normal handful of pellets. For example, if a handful weighs 20 grams, it will treat 20 to 40 m² at the rate of 0.5 to 1 g/m².

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 the rate of REGAIN 200 used. Some species may go through several defoliations from 6 months to 2 years before dying. Timber and regrowth control with REGAIN 200 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.

AERIAL AND GROUND APPLICATION

Apply REGAIN 200 by uniformly distributing with an approved aircraft accredited by Granular Products Pty Ltd, or precision ground-driven equipment.

  1. Aerial Application

    • Aerial application can be carried out by accredited fixed-wing aircraft or helicopters fitted with specially designed application apparatus.
    • Maintain a flying height of 10 to 20 meters above the canopy.
    • The swath width depends on the type of spreader used.
    • The target areas must be correctly marked out and flown with the aid of GPS or markers approved by Granular Products Pty Ltd.

  2. Ground Application

    • Ground applications can be carried out in suitable areas by precision low application rate spreaders.

CLEANING APPLICATION EQUIPMENT

Thoroughly clean all traces of REGAIN 200 from vessels holding pellets (e.g., bucket and gloves) after use. Residues cleaned from this application equipment should not be emptied on areas where they will contact roots of desirable trees, shrubs, or plants.
