Restrictions:
• Rainfall: Within 1 hour of application will reduce control.
• Re-entry Interval: DO NOT enter treated fields for 24 hours.
• Grazing Restrictions: DO NOT graze treated wheat, barley, oats, forage millet, sorghum or seedling alfalfa crops or cut
for feed within 30 days of application. DO NOT graze other treated crops or cut for hay prior to crop maturity.
• Re-cropping Interval: No restrictions.
• Aerial Application: Registered for aerial application on wheat and barley. The use of low water volumes, 8 to 16 L per
acre may result in less effective weed control than seen with ground application.
• Storage: IPCO Brotex 480 and Loveland Bromax must be stored at temperatures of 7 o C or higher. Others may be stored
at freezing temperatures and they will return to original state by warming to room temperature (20 to 22 o C) and
shaking thoroughly.
