General Application Guidelines
- Apply when target weeds are actively growing and not under stress from waterlogging, drought, frost, or disease
- DO NOT spray if rainfall is expected shortly after application — refer to the product label for withholding guidance
- DO NOT store prepared spray solution — mix only what is required for the day's application
- DO NOT store tank mixes with other products
- Refer to the registered product label for all application rates, dilution instructions, and withholding periods, as these are the legal requirements for use
Pasture Restrictions

Top up the tank with water and maintain agitation throughout mixing and application. If using adjuvants, add these as directed on the label. Use the prepared spray solution promptly.

Optimal Application Timing
- Blackberry: Spray after petal fall in Tasmania; December to April in Victoria. Ensure peripheral runners are sprayed
- Bracken: Apply after 75% of fronds are fully expanded. Adjust boom height for complete spray overlap
- Gorse: Apply to bushes up to 2m tall with thorough spray penetration of whole plant
- Lantana: Apply to bushes up to 2m tall. Spray should penetrate throughout the bush. Retreatment may be necessary for regrowth
- Crofton Weed: Apply up to early flowering. Best results on younger plants. Ensure good spray penetration in thickets

- Mineral Crop Oil at 1L/100L for blackberry control
Coverage & Volume
- Spray to thoroughly wet all foliage but not to cause run-off
- For Harrisia Cactus: Use 1,000-1,500 litres per hectare
- For Bridal Creeper: Water volumes of 500-800L/ha recommended to minimise native vegetation damage
Follow-up Applications
- Alligator Weed: Follow-up applications necessary for at least the next two seasons
