BEWARE Apply this product carefully. Spray drift may cause serious damage to other desirable plants.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
LEOPARD 200 EC Herbicide will not control broadleaf weeds, nor will it control soft brome or annual poa. For optimum results apply during good growth conditions and when there is adequate soil moisture. Apply to annual grasses as seedlings and perennial grasses at the 4-5 leaf stage. Application during prolonged dry periods or cold conditions may reduce effectiveness. Always add a surfactant. LEOPARD 200 EC Herbicide moves rapidly throughout all parts of the plant. Growth ceases almost immediately but symptoms of effect are slow to appear, with death taking up to 3-4 weeks to complete.

LEOPARD 200 EC Herbicide has a short residual life in the soil to control grass weeds germinating in the 2-3 week period following treatment. DO NOT plant cereals or grasses within 8 weeks following treatment.

It is an offence for users of this product to cause residues exceeding the relevant MRL in the New Zealand (Maximum Residue Limits of Agricultural Compounds) Food Standards

Restrictions on use.
Leopard 200 EC Herbicide must not be applied onto or into water.
