Application Information
How to Apply
:
Apply with ground equipment or irrigation water. Do not apply by air.
Water volume
: 45
L/ac minimum.
Incorporation
:
Incorporate immediately. Second incorporation must be at right angles to the first. Apply evenly and
mix with a minimum of the top 7.5 cm of soil thoroughly.

For use on mineral soils only. When applying Eptam 8-E with granular fertilizer, a minimum of 81 kg/ac and a
maximum of 324 kg/acre of fertilizer is required. See product label for further instructions.
How it Works
Taken up by the roots and shoots of a germinating weed where it disrupts and stops further shoot growth.
Expected Results
Weeds
:
Absorbed by the weed shoot; therefore, most affected weeds will not emerge. Numerous chlorotic and
bleached shoots may be visible by removing the top few inches of treated soil. Provides effective weed control for
approximately 6 - 8 weeks.
Crops
:
If crop seedlings are weak, some injury may occur.
Restrictions
Rainfall
:
Soluble in water, may leach under wet conditions.
Grazing
:
Do not graze or harvest for livestock feed in year of treatment.
Pre-harvest interval
:
Do not apply within 45 days of harvest.
Re-cropping
:
No restrictions.
