GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Apparent Alternative Herbicide is a natural contact weedkiller containing pelargonic acid (nonanoic acid). Pelargonic acid occurs naturally in plants including geraniums. It acts on the foliage, causing it to quickly dehydrate and collapse. Results are seen as browning and wilting usually within hours of application. To be effective, Apparent Alternative Herbicide must come into contact with the green parts of the plant. Apparent Alternative Herbicide will control many weed species and is non selective.

MIXING

Half fill spray tank and commence agitation. Slowly add required amount of Apparent Alternative Herbicide. Top up with required quantity of water. Agitate well before commencing spray procedure. Do not mix more than is needed.

APPLICATION

Ensure that all weed foliage is totally covered with spray as Apparent Alternative Herbicide is a contact spray only. Partial coverage will give only partial control. Apply by ground equipment only using for example boom or spot sprayers. Apply using a coarse droplet spray. Optimum application volumes are related to weed maturity and density. Contact with the weeds is essential for control, as such apply in sufficient water to ensure complete and thorough coverage of foliage.

DO NOT spray porous surfaces without prior testing. May cause discolouration on porous hard surfaces.

PRECAUTION: For professional use only. Not for use by domestic users. Re-Entry Period

Do not allow entry into treated areas until spray has dried. If prior entry is necessary, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and elbow-length chemical resistant gloves.
