Precautions (For more information, see Chapter 4. Herbicides Used in Ontario, page 23 and Chapter 5. Notes on Adjuvants, page 69).

  • Till and fertilize soil in early spring, and then allow weeds to grow.
  • Spray weeds just before seeding the crop.
  • Use low rate for small weeds (8 cm), medium rates for weeds 8-15 cm and higher rate for weeds over 15 cm tall.
  • Apply recommended PRE or POST herbicides to control new flushes of weeds or use mechanical means of control.
