GENERAL PROPERTIES
FUSILADE is a highly active systemic herbicide which selectively controls many annual and perennial grass
weeds in most broadleaf weeds. FUSILADE can be safely applied over the top of a wide range of broadleaf
crops, trees and ornamentals. FUSILADE is absorbed mainly through leaves and is recommended for use after
crop and weed emergence. FUSILADE will not control broadleaf weeds.
TIMING OF TREATMENT
For optimum results FUSILADE should be applied during good growth conditions. Application during prolonged
dry periods may reduce effectiveness.
MIXING
Partly fill spray tank with water and begin agitation. Measure the required amount of FUSILADE and slowly pour
the granules into the spray tank. Note: DO NOT pre-mix the granules. Add CONTACT wetting agent at label
rates and maintain agitation whilst filling is completed and during application.
The accompanying chart is a guide for measuring FUSILADE by volume. Use a clean dry measuring jug, tapping
the jug firmly to settle and level the granules.

other herbicide applications, allow at least 7 days between treatments.
