For Maintenance, Repeat treatment if new growth appears.

Usage and Maintenance

Apply during warm, dry conditions (April to November). Do not use near lawns or desired plants unless intentionally removing them. It is safe for replanting the following day after soil contact. Avoid spraying in windy conditions to prevent drift onto cultivated plants. For optimal results, wait seven days before digging or replanting in treated areas. Keep children and pets away until treated areas are dry.

Advantages and Disadvantages

A major advantage is its systemic action and high concentration, providing vast coverage and permanent weed removal in difficult areas. A key benefit is that it is safe for replanting the next day, thanks to its rapid inactivation upon soil contact. A major drawback is that it is non selective, meaning it will kill any plant it touches and must not be used near desired plants. Users must strictly avoid drift onto non target plants.

Cautions

Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Do not contaminate ponds, waterways, or drains. Store in original container, tightly closed, away from food and animal feed.
