• Safety Information

  WARNINGS:

  • Harmful if swallowed.
  • Causes serious eye damage.
  • May cause an allergic skin reaction.
  • Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.
  • Store away from food, feeds, seed and other agricultural chemicals.
  • Keep out of reach of children, uninformed persons and animals.

  PRECAUTIONS:

  • Wash hands, forearms, and face thoroughly after handling
  • Do not eat, drink, or smoke when using this product.
  • Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
  • Avoid release to the environment.
  • Collect spillage.
  • Clean applicator with a household ammonia solution (1%) before using with other materials. Let solution stand for several hours, preferably overnight. Rinse at least twice. This applicator should not be used for applying chemicals other than herbicides.
  • Dispose of wash water where it will not contaminate food, grazing, rivers or dams.
  • Triple rinse empty container in the following manner: Invert the empty container over the spray or mixing tank and allow to drain for at least 30 seconds after the flow has slowed down to a drip. Thereafter, rinse the empty container three times with a volume of water equal to a minimum of 10% of that of the container. Add the rinsings to the content of the spray tank. Empty containers should be taken for local recycling or waste disposal. Do not re-use empty containers.
  • Prevent contamination of food, feeds, drinking water and eating utensils.

    
    

  sage Instructions

      Read the entire label before use.

  • TURFWEEDER APM may be used to selectively control weeds, after emergence, in established lawn and turfgrass areas.
  • TURFWEEDER APM is absorbed by susceptible broadleaved weeds, and moves rapidly to all parts of the plant.
  • Initial symptoms are usually visible within 24 hours, but up to 3 weeks may be required for full control to take place.
  • Members of the grass family are generally not affected by post-emergence treatments at the rates of application given, but overdosing may lead to injury.

   

      Selective Weed Control in Parks, Sports Fields, Fairways & Lawns:

  • TURFWEEDER APM may be used to control emerged weeds on common Cynodon spp varieties of turfgrass such as Royal Cape, Magennis, Florida, Skaapplaas and on Kikuyu grass. It may also be used on St Augustine grass (Stenotephrum secundatum), provided it is well-established.
  • Under certain conditions the grass may become discoloured. This usually disappears after one or two mowings. Doses in excess of 5ℓ/ha may lead to temporary growth retardation on Stenotephrum and Kikuyu grass.
  • Ideally, mowing should not take place for 5 to 7 days prior to application, in order to permit adequate weed leaf development.
  • Do not mow within 3 days after application, in order to permit maximum uptake of herbicide.
  • Treat weeds in the earliest stage of development. Poor control may be obtained if weeds are matured or growing under unfavourable conditions.
  • Best results are obtained if a high nitrogen fertilizer is applied 10 days prior to treatment and areas are adequately watered, so that conditions are ideal for plant growth.
  • Do not apply to turfgrass under stress.
  • Adverse growing conditions such as cold weather or excessive heat, drought or excessive rain may adversely affect the action of the weed killer and users are cautioned that the recommendations given are for average use and not for abnormal conditions.
  • Rain within 2 hours of application may diminish the effect. Do not spray if rain is expected within this time.
  • Irrigation is best delayed until the day following application.
  • Because TURFWEEDER APM contains a special wetting and penetrating adjuvant which increases the effectiveness of the herbicide, care should be taken not to overdose, as the turfgrass could be scorched.

   

  Selective Weed Control on Putting & Bowling Greens:

  • Because the turfgrass is frequently under stress due to the frequency of cutting, it should be noted that the rate of application is considerably lower than on other turf areas, in order to minimize the possibility of injury.
  • Do not use on Bentgrass unless prior testing has shown phytotoxicity will not result.
  • When treating greens, it is essential that the nozzles are opened outside the green area, in order to prevent overdosing from a stationary sprayer.

   

  GROUND APPLICATION:

  • Avoid fine droplet size – use low pressure flat nozzles of 80O or equivalent anti-drift type and do not exceed spray pressure of 200kPa.
  • Spray volume must exceed 150ℓ/ha.
  • Do not exceed spray height of 50cm above target and ground speed of 10km/h.
  • Do not apply if wind velocity exceeds 15km/h (as measured by handheld wind recorder).
  • The difference between the wet and dry bulb readings on a whirling hygrometer must not exceed 8˚C.

   

  MIXING AND APPLICATION:

  • Measure off the herbicide and add to the half-filled tank and top-up while agitating to mix the herbicide.
  • Do not spray on the area to be treated with the sprayer stationary, and only overlap swaths as recommended by the nozzle manufacturers or damage from overdosing may result.
  • Maintain a constant speed and pressure as determined from the calibration.
  • Dilute TURFWEEDER APM with water and apply as a fine spray, using a suitable applicator or a tractor-mounted boom sprayer or by means of a knapsack sprayer, calibrated to apply between 300 and 500 litres water per hectare.
  • TURFWEEDER APM contains a built-in wetting and penetrating adjuvant.
  • Additional wetter should not be used when the recommended water volumes are being used.
  • A volume of 300 to 400 litres water per hectare is recommended to give the optimum concentration of adjuvant to assist in uptake and translocation.
