Precautions

For actively growing weeds.
Apply in 200-300 L/ha water (80-120 L/ac) as a directed spray.
Remove all suckers from base of trunks before application.
Do NOT apply to trees with "green" bark in the area of application.
Do NOT mow or till weeds for at least 5-7 days after application. Wait longer if cool.
Only weeds emerged at application time will be controlled. Additional weed control programs will be necessary to control weeds germinating later.
Repeat application to regrowth may be necessary for complete control.
Do NOT apply closer than 30 days to harvest.
For specific information on product rates and notes for annual and perennial weed control refer to Table 4-2.

Precautions

Apply with a rope wick or other similar device when weeds are at the optimum stage.
Avoid contact with the leaves, trunks and suckers.
Do NOT apply when weeds are wet.
