APPLICATIONS:
Mode of action: Non-selective systemic herbicide, absorbed by the foliage, with rapid translocation throughout the plant.Inactivated on contact with soil.
Uses: Control of annual and perennial grasses and broad-leaved weeds, pre-harvest, post-planting/pre-emergence and in stubble, in cereals, peas, beans, oilseed rape, flax and mustard; as a directed spray in vines and olives; in orchards, pasture, forestry and industrial weed control.
Scope and Method of application:
- CROP: rubber tree farm, fruit farm, vegetable farm, non-crop land.
- PESTS: annual and perennial grasses and broad-leaved weeds
- Dose Rate: 1600g/ha to 3700g/ha.
- Method of Application: Dilute the product at recommended rate with 320 to 450 liters of water.
Mixing and dilution: Pre-mix the required amount of Glyphosate ammonium 757g/kg WSG with a small volume of water to create slurry without lumps. Then half fill the spray tank with clean water and add this pre-mixed slurry to the tank. Agitate until mixture is well suspended. Then fill the spray tank to the final water level. Continue agitation during spraying until the tank is completely empty.
Spray immediately after mixing
