Warnings
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID SPRAY DRIFT AS THIS CAN SEVERELY DAMAGE NEIGHBOURING CROPS OR PLANTS.
DO NOT MIX, STORE OR APPLY MENTOR IN GALVANISED OR UNLINED STEEL CONTAINERS OR SPRAY TANKS.
DO NOT leave spray mixtures in tank for long periods and make sure tanks are WELL VENTED.

Restrictions
A period without rain of at least 6 hours, and preferably 24 hours, must follow application of MENTOR herbicide.
Do not spray on to weeds suffering from drought, water-logging, heat or frost, otherwise poor control may result.
Do not spray in windy conditions as drift onto desired plants or crops could severely damage or destroy them.
Do not tank mix MENTOR with adjuvants, pesticides or fertilisers except as specified under Directions for Use – Compatibility. Applications of lime, fertiliser, farmyard manure and pesticides should be delayed until 5 days after application of MENTOR unless cultivation and drilling of the next crop has taken place.
TREATED POISONOUS PLANT SPECIES MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE REGRAZING OR CONSERVING. Where Ragwort is present users should consult the Code of Practice on How to Prevent the Spread of Ragwort. Ragwort plants sprayed with this herbicide are more palatable and contain higher levels of toxins. Animals should be excluded from treated areas until any Ragwort has completely recovered or died and there is no visible sign of the dead weed. Do not include treated Ragwort in hay or silage crops.
