Precautions

Use ONLY for non-crop land and pasture.
Thoroughly wet all leaves and stems of weeds. Repeat applications when new growth appears.
Apply to Canada thistle and sow-thistle at early bud to bloom, quackgrass and horsetail at 10-15 cm, dandelion when young, toadflax and hoary cress at advanced rosette, milkweed in early summer, poison ivy when fully leafed.
Do NOT allow livestock to eat treated vegetation. Keep livestock off treated area until weeds are dead and new growth has emerged.

Precautions

For actively growing weeds. Direct spray to avoid desirable vegetation.
Allow 5-7 days translocation time after application before doing any mowing or tillage when conditions are good. If cool temperatures follow application, allow additional time for translocation to be completed before disturbing treated weeds.
Canada thistle and sow-thistle should be at least in early bud, milkweed at bud, bindweed at full flower, and dogbane past full bloom, and quackgrass with 3-4 new leaves for best results.
