GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
The product is a pre- and post-emergence herbicide for controlling certain broad-leaved weeds and grasses. For post-emergence applications, weeds should be at the seedling to 4-leaf stage. Prior to sowing any follow-up crops other than beet or ryegrass, thoroughly till treated areas, including ploughing.
-
BEET CROPS:
- Slight foliage distortion may occur; short-lived effects do not affect crop yield.
- Pre-emergence treatment can be followed by post-emergence Betanal* application.
-
USE OF SCANNER 500 SC IN MIXTURE WITH Betanal ON BEET CROPS:
- Carefully read Betanal label; note warnings in temperatures above 30°C.
- Recommended for wider spectrum post-emergence weed control.
- Apply at least six (6) hours before rainfall or irrigation.
-
RYEGRASS:
- Reduces clover stands by 40-60%.
- For barley grass control, apply to closely grazed pasture (3-5 cm high).
- Remove organic matter; retreatment may be necessary.
- In dense barley grass areas, drill or oversow with ryegrass soon after treatment.
-
TURF:
- Apply before or early after Winter Grass germination in fine turf situations.
- Selective in various grass types when applied as directed.
- Monthly applications for 3-4 months control Winter Grass without affecting desirable turf.
- No oversowing or reseeding within one month of spraying.
MIXING
- SCANNER 500 SC is a suspension concentrate; gently invert or roll container before pouring.
- Part-fill the spray tank with clean water, add the correct amount of SCANNER 500 SC, and top up with water.
- Thorough agitation is necessary before spraying.
- Mix only enough chemical for immediate use.
- When mixing with Betanal, stir while adding required quantities, and use as soon as possible.
APPLICATION
- Apply in a suitable volume of water for even coverage.
- For pre-emergence, apply to moist soil surface.
- Set nozzles at the correct height (50-60 cm above pasture or crop).

- Do not use impact nozzles or broadcast nozzle clusters.
- Wash equipment thoroughly after use.
