Expected Results
Small burnt spots on the leaf can appear within hours; death takes up to 2 weeks. Poor results may be expected if
poor coverage, poor penetration through dense crop canopy. Weeds start to twist shortly after spraying. After twisting
and bending, plants stop growing, turn brown and die.
Restrictions
DO NOT enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 24 hours. Do not
use treated crops for grazing livestock or green feed until 30 days after application. Do not harvest forage or cut hay
within 30 days after application Withdraw meat animals from treated fields at least 3 days before slaughter. Do not
harvest the treated crop within 60 days after application.
