directions and areas for use
timeofapp
For industrial weed control, the best treatment time is late winter or early spring. This will prevent development of most broad-leaved species for the rest of the season.  

For grass areas excellent results can be achieved with treatment coinciding with periods of vigorous growth.

application
Half fill spray tank with water, add the recommended quantity of Tordon 22K and then the remainder of the water.
  1. For spray boom application, use the recommended rate of Tordon 22K in 450 litres water per hectare.
  2. For power sprayer application e.g. handlances, use the recommended rate of Tordon 22K in 1000-2000 litres of water and apply as a drenching spray.
  3. For localised treatment with a knapsack sprayer, use a solution of 150ml Tordon 22K in 18 litres of water.

Apply at a pressure of 0.7 bar.

After filling the spray tank, agitate thoroughly to ensure a complete and uniform solution.

Use the made-up solution within 24 hours of mixing.

Agitate thoroughly throughout spraying.

Do not leave to stand overnight.

AVOID SPRAY DRIFT. Do not spray in windy weather.  Do not permit spray drift to contaminate crop land or irrigation water or to drift onto or within the root zone of crops, hedges
or fruit, ornamental or forest trees or gardens.

WASH EQUIPMENT THOROUGHLY several times after  use, with water and/or a liquid detergent. Spray out. Fill with water and spray out several times before storage, disposing of  the washings in a safe place. Equipment used for applying Tordon 22K should not be used for applying other materials to valuable crops.

SENSITIVE PLANTS may be harmed by residues of Tordon 22K in soil and treated vegetation. Do not apply Tordon 22K on or adjacent to soil which may be used as garden top-soil, potting soil, etc. or to grass which may be cut and used as mulch or for compost for horticultural or garden crops. Do not use cuttings from treated grass for mulching or composting.

On level ground there is negligible lateral movement but do not apply Tordon 22K around desirable trees or shrubs or where their roots may take up a lethal dose, care should be taken on slopes to prevent leaching into areas where desirable shrubs, etc. are present.
