  3. If required add the correct amount of liquid formulation tank mix partners.
  4. Add correct amount of Independence®, followed by correct amount of Empire® II or Tonto® surfactant.
  5. Complete filling of spray tank, apply product, and continue application until the tank is empty.
  6. If application is stopped prior to completion, re-suspend spray solution by full agitation prior to commencing spraying again.

Understanding Performance

  • Optimal control occurs when applied between 12 °C and 24°C in warm moist growing conditions when weeds are small and actively growing.
  • Typical symptoms (discoloration) of dying weeds may not be visible for several days to 1-3 weeks after application, depending on the grass species and growing conditions.
  • Control of weeds may take 4-6 weeks.
  • Control will be reduced if plants are stressed by lack of moisture, excessive moisture, low-temperature and/or very low relative humidity. Regrowth by tillering may occur if application is made under any of the above stress conditions.
  • In wide row crops, where the canopy may be slow to close, cultivation may be necessary to control grasses that emerge after treatment.
