Refer to the product label for complete mixing instructions for this product and its mixes. A general guide to mixing can be
found on page 8.
Application Information:
• Water Volume: 20 to 40 L per acre.
• Nozzles and Pressure: Maximum 40 psi (275 kPa) when using conventional flat fan nozzles. Low drift nozzles may
require higher pressures for proper performance. Use a combination of nozzles and pressure designed to deliver
thorough, even coverage with ASABE medium droplets.
• Screens: Use 50 mesh or coarser filter screens for both nozzles and in-line screens.
How it Works:
Refer to Table 9 on page 48.
Effects of Growing Conditions:
DO NOT spray if temperatures of +5 o C are forecast within 3 days of application. Treat crops during warm weather when
weeds are actively growing and soil moisture is adequate for rapid growth. Under cool or dry conditions, control of some
weeds may be severely reduced.
