General Information
PULSAR is a selective herbicide with contact and systemic activity for the control of a wide range of broadleaf weeds in cereals, clover, new pasture and peas. PULSAR must be applied with sufficient water to ensure that all parts of target weeds are thoroughly covered. PULSAR is not active in the soil, so weeds must have germinated before spraying (post emergence).

Beware
APPLY THIS PRODUCT CAREFULLY. SPRAY DRIFT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO OTHER DESIRABLE PLANTS.

Direction for Use
Use high water rates (minimum specified) to ensure that all plant parts are thoroughly covered. Low volume CDA application techniques are not recommended. Best results are obtained from applications made after the onset of a prolonged period (more than 3 days) of warm,humid weather. Best results are obtained if applications are made to immature weeds (2-4 leaves) rather then more mature plants.

Application
Use high water rates (minimum rates specified). Low volume CDA application techniques are not recommended. Best results are obtained from applications made after the onset of a prolonged period (more than 3 days) of warm, humid weather. Best results are obtained if applications are made to immature weeds (2-4 leaf) rather than more mature plants.

Mixing
Add the required amount directly into the partly filled spray tank with agitation running. Complete filling and maintain agitation until spraying is complete.

Compatibility
Wetting agent should not be added unless specified. Do not apply PULSAR with any other crop protection agent or fertiliser.

Rainfall
At least 8 hours should elapse after application before rainfall or irrigation.

Warning
After treatment poisonous plants may become palatable and livestock should be kept out of the area until plants have died down.

Handling
Do NOT apply if rain or frost is expected, nor if the foliage is wet. Do NOT spray during periods of drought or unseasonably cold weather as unsatisfactory weed control may result.

Spillage
