GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

Weeds should be sprayed while actively growing and at their most susceptible stage.
As a general guide, annuals should be sprayed when young and perennials just prior to appearance of bud stage. Extremes of cold or drought are unfavourable. The best conditions are when the soil is moist, weather fine and rain unlikely within 6 hours of application.
DO NOT spray crops or weeds outside the stages indicated in the Table as damage, loss of yield or inadequate weed control may result.

MIXING AND APPLICATION: This product mixes readily with water. Half fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required amount of product. Agitate thoroughly before adding the remaining water.

BOOM SPRAYING: Use 30 L to 120 L water per hectare. Use a minimum of 170 L water per hectare for Linseed.

AERIAL SPRAYING: Use 10 L to 90 L water per hectare.
Equipment that has been used for this chemical should be well cleaned with a 2% solution of cloudy ammonia or equivalent followed by several clear water rinses before use for the application of other materials to sensitive plants.

LEGUME TOLERANCE: The use of MCPA is preferable to 2,4-D amine or ester insituations where legumes are undersown in the crop. The tolerance of pasture legumes to applied product can vary with species, variety, growing conditions, stage of growth and companion crop cover. DO NOT spray cereal crops undersown with lucerne as damage may result.

TANK MIXES: When tank mixing add the required amount of compatible product (and surfactant if recommended) when the spray tank is nearly full and while continuously agitating. If left overnight, agitate thoroughly before spraying.
