General Instructions
l For best results use high volume rates.
l Spray to wet foliage evenly.
l Apply when grasses are growing vigorously and before seed systems develop.
l Atlapon 2,2-DPA herbicide is slow in acting and it may take 6-8 weeks before full effect is seen.
l Atlapon 2,2-DPA in the soil may inhibit germination of sensitive plants for 30 days or more, depending on rate applied, soil type, temperature and amount of rainfall. Decomposition proceeds most rapidly in warm moist soils.
l Mixing: Atlapon 2,2-DPA dissolves readily in water, half fill spray tank with water, add Atlapon 2,2-DPA and stir to dissolve powder completely. Then add balance of water.
l Wetting Agent: The addition of a NON-IONIC wetting agent increases the efficiency of the spray. This will ensure thorough wetting of such plants as paspalum, cumbungi and watsonia.
l Wash spray equipment thoroughly after use and discharge washings on non-crop land away from water supplies. Do not use the same equipment for spraying horticultural crops.
l Do not re-use container. Destroy it by perforating or crushing. Bury or discard in a safe place away from water supplies.
