GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: This product is a pre-emergent herbicide. Control of germinating weed seedlings can be expected for up to 10 weeks after application. NOTE ON ORNAMENTALS: Ronstar Turf and Ornamental has been used on a wide range of ornamental plant species without damage. However, some species and varieties are particularly sensitive to chemical products. As this sensitivity could be related to local conditions, it is advisable to treat only a small number of plants first, in order to determine their reaction to the product, before treating a whole crop. Tolerant Nursery Species: Some of the species of the genera listed below have been shown to tolerate Ronstar Turf and Ornamental at a dose rate of 20g per square metre. Abelia, Acacia, Acalypha, Agapanthus, Agonis, Allamanda, Ardisia, Araucaria, Azalea, Banksia, Bauhinia, Boronia, Browallia, Callistemon, Callitris, Camellia, Chamelaucium, Coleonema, Coprosma, Cotoneaster, Cuphea, Cupressus, Dampiera, Dodonaea, Eriostemon, Escallonia, Eucalyptus, Eutaxia, Gardenia, Grevillea, Hakea, Hebe, Helichrysum (perennial), Hemiandra, Hibbertia, Ixora, Jasminum, Juniperus, Kennedia, Kunzea, Lagerstroemia, Lantana, Lavandula, Leea, Leptospermum, Leucodendron, Leucospermum, Macrozamia, Melaleuca, Metrosideros, Monstera, Nerium, Omolanthus, Pandorea, Phoenix, Photinia, Prostanthera, Protea, Ravenala, Rosa, Rosmarinus, Russelia, Schefflera, Sollya, Viburnum, Weigela, Westringia.
APPLICATION: Apply using a properly calibrated granular applicator which will apply the granules in a uniform pattern. Uniform application is essential for satisfactory weed control. Calibrate the applicator prior to use according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and check applicator frequently to ensure that the equipment is working properly. After application, ensure granules are washed or brushed off the foliage, particularly the foliage of prostrate and dense ground-cover plants. DO NOT apply granules when foliage is wet. Turf: As above. Ensure that the turf area is free of leaves and other debris, mowing if necessary, so that the granules reach the soil surface. Measure the area to be treated and apply the required amount using a properly calibrated granular applicator as above. Oscillating spout and rotary type fertilizer spreaders are recommended for large areas. Activity of this product is dependent on moist soil conditions. If rain is not received within 2 days after application, apply thorough sprinkler irrigation to wash granules off the leaves and help distribute the granules on the soil surface.
Turf (continued) DO NOT apply granules when the turf foliage is wet, If the soil is to be top-dressed with fertilizer, DO NOT apply this product until the top-dressing operation is completed. Plant-Back Periods Ryegrass: Allow four months after last application to lapse before reseeding. Bentgrass: Allow five months after last application to lapse before reseeding.
RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING: Ronstar Turf and Ornamental Herbicide is a member of the Oxidiazole group of herbicides. Ronstar Turf and Ornamental has the inhibitors of protoporphyrinogen oxidase mode of action. For weed resistance management, Ronstar Turf and Ornamental is a Group G Herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Ronstar Turf and Ornamental and other inhibitors of protoporphyrinogen oxidase herbicide may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by Ronstar Turf and Ornamental or other inhibitors of protoporphyrinogen oxidase herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Bayer CropScience accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Ronstar Turf and Ornamental to control resistant weeds.

Store in a locked room or place away from children, animals, food, feedstuffs, seed and fertilisers. Shake empty into granule applicator. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. Puncture or shred and bury empty containers in a local authority landfill. If no landfill is available bury the empty containers below 500 mm in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots.
