DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Add concentrate to water as required and agitate. For high volume recommendations on fruit, apply just short of run off (approximately 1000 l/ha). For root crops and Brassicas, apply 600 l water/ha. For other crops, apply a low volume of water(approximately 200 l/ha). Ambush is not phytotoxic when used as recommended and is compatible with a wide range of products. Ambush does not taint brassicas and peas when applied up to ten days before harvesting. However, the processors should be consulted before application. Ambush acts by contact, therefore ensure thorough spray cover. Always avoid spraying under stress conditions.
