6. Thorough agitation (preferably mechanical) of the spray liquid is essential during the addition of the product and during the entire spraying operation. Recirculate if left to stand.
Note: Spray solution should NOT be left standing in the tank overnight.

Mixing and spraying

Good weed coverage with the spray mixture is essential for optimum weed control.

Water volume

Apply at a volume of 400 to 800 L water/ha. Higher volumes should be used for severe weed infestations and higher cut turf (>15 mm) to ensure adequate spray coverage. It is recommended that a non-ionic surfactant be added to the spray solution at a 0.25 to 0.5% v/v ratio.
