Application Information
With
:
Apply with ground equipment or by air.
Water volume
:
Ground application - 40 L/acre minimum. Aerial application requires an 8 L/acre minimum water
volume.
Application Tips
Apply in spring or early summer after weeds have fully emerged and when weeds are actively growing. Ensure
that there is adequate coverage of target weeds. Do not apply under conditions prone to drift (i.e. high winds and
temperature inversions).
How it Works
Restore herbicide interferes with cell division causing leaf cupping, stem distortion and eventually death of the plant.
Restore is absorbed through the leaves and roots of the plant.
Expected Results
Perennial weeds show distorted stems and cupped leaves, which turn yellow and then brown. Usually, native grass
increases in abundance as result of reduced competition. Poor results may be expected if weeds are not actively
growing in late summer or as a result of environmental stress such as frost or drought.
Restrictions
Rainfall
:
Heavy rainfall immediately after application may wash the chemical off the foliage, resulting in reduced
weed control. Do not apply if rainfall is forecast for the time of application.
Grazing
:
Do not allow lactating dairy animals to graze treated areas within 7 days of application. There is no
restriction on livestock (except lactating dairy animals) grazing in treated areas. Withdraw meat animals from treated
fields at least 3 days before slaughter.
Pre-harvest Interval
:
Do not harvest forages or cut hay within 30 days of application.
Re-cropping
:
If legumes are essential in a pasture, do not use Restore. Do not break up treated pasture and plant to
sensitive broadleaf crops for at least 3 years after application of Restore.
Environmental Precautions
Restore is toxic to small wild mammals, birds, aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Do not directly
spray or allow the spray to drift onto sensitive terrestrial habitats. When applying by ground sprayer, leave a 10 metre
buffer zone between application area and sensitive terrestrial and aquatic habitats. When apply by air, leave a
70 - 175
metre buffer zone.
Runoff
:
Avoid contamination of aquatic areas by runoff through the use of the recommended buffer zones.
Leaching
:
The use of this chemical may result in contamination of groundwater particularly in areas where soils are
permeable (e.g. sandy soil) and/or the depth to the water table is shallow.
Toxicity
Restore A - Acute oral toxicity is low. Acute oral LD
50
(
rats) = 5,000 mg/kg.
Restore B: Moderate acute oral toxicity. Acute oral LD
50
(
rats) = 949 mg/kg.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Do not freeze. If frozen, warm to room temperature and mix thoroughly before using.
