GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS This product is a selective post emergence herbicide formulated specifically for the control of winter grass. If used on turf heavily infested with winter grass it is important that a programme of sprigging and reseeding be carried out after the treatment. This product is not persistent in the soil and reseeding can take place 2 weeks after application. Large areas of dead winter grass may form a thatch that may be conducive to spread of turf diseases and it is important that a preventative disease control program be carried out also. Do not use when temperature exceeds 25°C. Do not use on Red Fescues or Kikuyu.
MIXING AND APPLICATION: POACHEK mixes readily with water. For best results use a boom spray application at a pressure and nozzle size that gives small droplets. Even and complete coverage is necessary. Do not use a wetting agent.
RESISTANT WEED WARNING: GROUP Z HERBICIDE Poachek is a member of the other modes of action group of herbicides. Poachek has an unknown mode of action. For weed resistance management Poachek is a Group K herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Poachek and other Group K herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weeds population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by Poachek or other Group K herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Colin Campbell (Chemicals) Pty Ltd accepts no liability for ant losses that may result from the failure of Poachek to control resistant weeds.
PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS: DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures.
PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK, WILDLIFE AND OTHERS: DO NOT allow stock to graze any treated plants. DO NOT graze treated turf/lawn: or feed turf/lawn clippings from any treated area to poultry or livestock.
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT: Dangerous to fish and other aquatic organisms. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers.
