directions and areas of use

time of treatments
Apply from April to late September when the grass and weeds are actively growing. Better control of annual or biennial weeds is obtained if sprayed early in the growing season. Perennial weeds should be sprayed when they are well developed but before flowering. At this time annual weeds may be too large to be well controlled. Effects may not be apparent for 2-3 weeks.

application
Half fill the spray tank with water, commence agitation, add the required amount of Tribute. Whilst maintaining the agitation add the rest of the water. Where mechanical or hydraulic agitation is available it must be maintained during spraying to ensure a uniform suspension.

When used in knapsack sprayers Tribute must be applied immediately after mixing. If the filled sprayer is allowed to stand it must be agitated before recommencing spraying.

notes for guidance
Newly sown or turfed areas should not be sprayed in the year of establishment. When renovating treated areas an interval of 6-8 weeks should elapse before re-seeding.
The first four mowings should not be used for mulching unless composted for six months.
Turf containing bulbs may be treated once the foliage has died down completely.
Do not allow spray drift on to cultivated plants.
Do not apply during drought unless regular irrigation is practised.
Do not apply when rain is imminent (within 6 hours of application).
Avoid spraying during freezing conditions or if a frost is imminent.
Fine turf should not be mown for 24 hours before or after application (three days for less closely mown turf).
A fertilizer application 1-2 weeks before treatment aids weed control.
Heavy infestations and particularly resistant weeds may need a repeat treatment after an interval of 6-8 weeks at the 6 litre/hectare rate.

weeds controlled
Field horsetail: 6 litres/ha will kill shoots and check re-growth

Common nettle: 6 litres/ha kills top growth when 15–25cm (6-10”) high

Soft rush: 6 litres/ha controlled by treatment in May, June or July may be treated uncut, but cutting 4 weeks before or after spraying improves control

Sowthistle: 6 litres/ha kills shoots and some of root up to (perennial) 20cm (8”) stage
