For the post-emergence control of most annual and perennial grasses in broadleaf crops as shown under Directions for Use

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

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
LEOPARD 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 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 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.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
DO NOT apply if rain is likely to fall within 1 hour following treatment. LEOPARD Herbicide is rainfast after 1 hour
