Critical Comments
To maximise the performance of spray application.

• Apply higher rates for dense weed conditions
• If an adjuvant is not used poor weed control will occur
• Do not apply after frosts have occurred
• Irrigation or rainfall within 2 hours of application will reduce control
• Do not mow for at least 2 days after treatment to ensure optimum control
• Sempra may damage or delay establishment of newly seeded, sodded or sprigged turf that is not well established.
• Sempra may damage or delay recovery of turf weakened by weather conditions or by physical damage such as scarification, coring, aeration or top dressing.

Withholding Period

• Do not apply clippings from treated areas for mulch around fruit trees or vegetables
• Do not feed treated grass clippings to poultry or other livestock
