Crop and/or Non-Crop Registrations Non-crop land for total vegetation control and as a spot treatment to control brush.
Sensitive Weeds Annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and grasses (broadcast application). Several brush species (spot application).
Uptake and Translocation Most readily absorbed through the roots. Surfactants can enhance foliar activity. Translocation is upward with the movement of water to leaves where it inhibits photosynthesis.
Basis of Selectivity  Non-selective at normal rates.
Application Methods For herbaceous weeds, broadcast sprayed, preferably just before or during periods of active weed growth. For brush, spot applications with an exact-delivery handgun sprayer either at the base of target brush or on a grid.
Residual Activity Half-life was 5-6 months for 4.4 kg/ha bromacil in a silty loam soil.
Unique Characteristics Do not use Bromacil where it is likely to leach, wash or move with eroded soil into contact with the roots of desirable trees and shrubs. Do not apply to brush standing in water.
