CONTROL BROADLEAF WEEDS

Introducing a highly effective selective soluble concentrate hormone-type herbicide designed for post-emergence control of annual weeds. This specialized herbicide is formulated for application in various agricultural settings, including grain sorghum, small grains, lawns, grass pastures, maize, potatoes, sugarcane, as well as specific fruit-bearing trees such as apples, pears, peaches, and vines. Notably, it provides targeted control against Plantago lanceolata and Ipomoea coscinosperma. This herbicide stands out as a selective broadleaf solution, making it an ideal choice for both new and established lawns. It is particularly well-suited for more sensitive lawn varieties, ensuring effective weed management without compromising the health of delicate turf. For ground application, careful attention to spraying techniques is essential. Users are advised to avoid fine droplet sizes and utilize low-pressure flat fan nozzles with an 80-degree spread or equivalent anti-drift types. The spray pressure should not exceed 200 kPa, and a minimum spray volume of 150 liters per hectare is recommended. Additionally, application parameters include maintaining a spray height below 50 cm above the target, limiting ground speed to 10 km per hour, and refraining from application in wind speeds exceeding 15 km per hour. Weather conditions are crucial, and the difference between wet and dry bulb readings on a whirling hygrometer must not surpass 8 °C to ensure optimal efficacy. In summary, this selective herbicide offers a comprehensive solution for the post-emergence control of annual weeds in a range of agricultural and horticultural settings. Its compatibility with various crops and lawns, along with precise application guidelines, makes it a valuable tool for weed management in diverse environments.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Use only as indicated
Ground application:
– Avoid fine droplet size – use low-pressure flat fan nozzles of 80 degrees or equivalent anti-drift type and do not exceed a spray pressure of 200 kPa.
– Spray volume must exceed 150 litres per hectare.
– Do not exceed spray height of 50 cm above target and ground speed of 10 km per hour.
– Do not apply if wind velocity exceeds 15 km per hour.
– The difference between the wet and dry bulb readings on a whirling hygrometer must not exceed 8 °C.

Pre-emergence treatment:
Plant the crop in a weed free, moist soil immediately after preparation of a fine seedbed. For control of annual grasses, as indicated, application should be performed before emergence of the grass seedlings.

Post-emergence treatment:
Apply only when the crop is in the correct stage of development, as indicated. Weeds should only be sprayed in the young stages and when actively growing in moist soil. Rain one day after application will not reduce the effectiveness of the herbicide.
