Application Guide
- Ensure to use a well functioning sprayer
- Use clean water, free of debris (sieve appropriately)
- Fix and use 2.4m diameter nozzle (Flood).
- Double-rinse the knapsack sprayer and lance by pumping out clean water.
- Half fill the tank with water and measure the appropriate dosage into the knapsack. Add sticker if rainfall is expected within 6 hours.
- Fill the sprayer tank with water to 15L and mix the solution by pumping and spraying into the tank, while stirring.
- Ensure there is no leakage before mounting the knapsack sprayer.
- Pump out spray solution whilst maintaining normal pressure for a fine spray mist.
- Direct spray mist to the target grass at 1.2m – 1.8m spray diameter, depending on wind direction, release pressure, and applicator’s speed.
- Maintain normal walking speed whilst observing spray mist-weed contact to ensure required/adequate solution volume is delivered onto the target weed.
- Avoid “swinging” of spray nozzle on target grass, to ensure uniform dispensation of spray solution to target grass for uniform result observation.
- During spraying in fields with sprouted cut trees, ensure enough coverage of the tree leaves with the chemical.
- To kill stamps of trees, cut the tree and smear the undiluted chemical on the cut surface to be absorbed.
- To kill trees without cutting, create 3-4 wounds on the back of the tree and smear or pour 5-10ml of the undiluted chemical into the cuts made to be absorbed.
- For product trials, always rinse the sprayer tank before the next dosage.
