MSMA Herbicide 500


Group K Herbicide

 

Active Constituent:

500 g/L MSMA

 

Application:

For the control of certain grasses and broadleaf weeds in cotton and non-crop areas. The herbicide is predominantly used in turf, sugar cane and cotton crops. Common usage in sugar cane crops include directed spraying when grass weeds have grown as well as the crop, and spot spraying of problem grasses. Common usage in cotton crops includes spraying when cotton is 7-8 cm high and before first bloom to control specific weeds. For best results apply under hot dry conditions when air temperatures exceed 25oC. As spray is absorbed through the foliage thorough spray coverage is essential. Weeds should begin to yellow within 10 days of application

 

Pack Sizes:

20 Litre

 

General Instruction:

Mixing: Half fill the spray tank with water and add the required amount of product with the agitator running. Finish filling the spray tank with water while continuing agitation avoid storing spray solution in spray tanks overnight or over prolonged periods.

 

Band spraying: always calibrate the spray equipment before each spraying. Check that spray nozzles are not worn or blocked to avoid erratic spray application. Ensure spray nozzles are spaced correctly and set at a height above rows to give the desired spray band width; e.g. for a 300 mm band, mix 3.5 litres of product in 330 litres of water and calibrate for a sprayed hectare volume of 125 litres of spray solution. Do not apply by misting machine.

 

Aircraft: Calibrate spray output at 24.8 litres per ha at required air speed. The following spray nozzles are suitable for spraying this product. Flat fan, T-Jets or Hollow Cone nozzles set towards the rear and angled at 45 degree away from the flight path; Micronaire or Minishpin type sprayers set to suit a particular air speed to deliver a medium to coarse spray droplet.
