On difficult to mow areas apply Shadow Ultra to actively growing turf and mow 3 to 4 days after application. Apply in a strip approximately 25 to 50 cm wide. Use the lower rates of Shadow Ultra around bunker edges and the higher rates in the other situations. Application made to turf growing under cool conditions or to turf with low nutrient levels or where growth rates are low may result in discolouration. | | | Buffalo Grass | 4L | 40mL | | | | Couch varieties Greenless Park, Santa Ana, Wintergreen | | | | | | Kikuyu | 6 to 8L | 60 to 80 mL | |

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: Shadow Ultra should be applied to actively growing turf, at least 6 hours before or after mowing. Good mowing management leading up to application is required to achieve a good quality turf surface and to obtain the best results from Shadow Ultra.

Growth Regulation: The recommended use rates are designed to give approximately a 20 to 50% reduction in clippings over a 2 to 6 week period. Full growth regulation by Shadow Ultra begins about 3 to 5 days after application. In practice the amount of growth regulation achieved will vary between situations due to environmental conditions and management practices. To some extent, therefore, application rates will need to be adjusted to match growing conditions, management practices and the amount of growth regulation required by the turf manager. Repeat applications can be made as soon as the turf resumes growth or more suppression is required. Areas treated with Shadow Ultra should continue to receive regular maintenance practices, including irrigation, fertilisation, and weed, disease and insect control when necessary, as recommended for quality turf.

Winter Grass (Poa annua) Management: Different grasses vary in their sensitivity to Shadow Ultra. Since Poa annua is more sensitive to Shadow Ultra than Bent Grass, Shadow Ultra can be used to reduce the competitiveness of Poa annua in Bent Grass golf greens. Shadow Ultra can be integrated into existing Poa annua control programs. Low rates of Shadow Ultra (that provide growth suppression of Poa annua, but not Bent Grass) applied during peak periods may enable a slow transition in the golf green sward composition away from Poa annua and towards a higher percentage of Bent Grass.

Bahia Grass (Paspalum notatum) Management: Different grasses vary in their sensitivity to Shadow Ultra and Monument* Liquid. Bahia Grass is very sensitive to the combination resulting in control of seedheads as well as vegetative growth suppression. Apply the combination as soon as seedheads start to form or when it becomes a regular mowing intervention issue, normally during October to January. Apply at 4 week intervals after mowing.

Couch Overseeding: An application of Shadow Ultra to couch will enhance the establishment of cool season turf grasses. Shadow Ultra is foliarly absorbed, so germination and seeding growth is not affected. Apply Shadow Ultra before verticutting, scalping, spiking or other similar operations to the couch. Apply Shadow Ultra 1 to 5 days before seeding.

Mixing: Shadow Ultra is a micro emulsion concentrate (ME) with minimal odour as the product does not contain petroleum solvents. Shadow Ultra mixes completely with water and may be tank mixed with many commonly used fungicides and liquid fertilizers. Add the required quantity of Shadow Ultra directly to the spray tank containing 2/3 of the required spray volume. Add the rest of the water and ensure the mix is thoroughly agitated before application.

APPLICATION: Ensure even application in order to achieve even growth reduction. Avoid overlapping sprays. Application volume: Apply in 100 to 500 L/ha water, using suitable flat fan nozzles. Application volume should be adequate to ensure thorough and even coverage of the turf leaves and penetration to the crowns. In higher cut turf (>15 mm) a significant spray shielding effect can occur, impacting negatively on spray penetration and even coverage at low application volumes.

Knapsack: It is important to apply the correct quantity of Shadow Ultra to a known area of turf. Apply between 2 and 10 L water/100m2 turf. Preferably use flat fan nozzles and ensure even coverage is achieved.

Golf Courses and Bowling Greens: Ensure product placement as uniformly as possible onto leaves and into crowns. Ideal application volume should be 350 to 500 L/ha. For best results use medium [XR Teejet* (11004 or 11005)] to coarse [Turbo Teejet* or AIXR Teejet*(11004 or 11005)] nozzles, at 5 km/h and 3 bar pressure. Boom height should not exceed 50 cm above the ground.

All Other Turf Areas: Ensure product placement as uniformly as possible onto leaves and into crowns. Ideal application volume should be 200 to 500 L/ha. For best results use medium [XR Teejet* (11004 to 11008)] to coarse [Turbo Teejet* or AIX R Teejet* (11004 or 11005)] nozzles, at 8 km/h and 3 bar pressure. Boom height should not exceed 50 cm above the ground.

Bahia Grass Suppression and Seedhead Control: Ensure product placement as uniformly as possible onto leaves and into crowns. Ideal application volume should be 200 to 500 L/ha. For best results use coarse [Turbo Teejet* or AIXR Teejet* (11004 or 11005)] nozzles,at 8 km/h and 3 bar pressure. Boom height should not exceed 50 cm above the ground.

Non-ionic Surfactants: For Bahia Grass suppression and seedhead control when tank mixing with Monument Liquid, use surfactants like Wetspray® 1000 (1000 g ai/ L formulations) at 0.25% v/v or 250 mL/100 L spray mix.

Application Near and Around Monuments and Hardscape Materials: Shadow Ultra at normal dilution rates, will not stain brass, bronze, concrete, granite, marble or other types of stone. Before using Shadow Ultra around other materials, test on a small scale basis first.

Compatibility For Common Couch, Hybrid Couch and Kikuyu turf grasses only. Shadow Ultra is compatible with some formulations of products containing the following chemicals: 2,4-D amine, bromoxynil, MCPA/bromoxynil/dicamba, MCPA ester/bromoxynil, MCPA ester/bromoxynil/dicamba, MCPP/2,4-D amine/dicamba or MCPP/dicamba. However, some transient discolouration of the treated turf may occur after application of a tank mix. For the treatment of broadleaf weeds in turf with herbicides other than those indicated above, it is recommended to apply Shadow Ultra and the broadleaf weed herbicides separately, allowing at least 10 days between an application of Shadow Ultra and the broadleaf weed herbicides

RE-ENTRY PERIOD: DO NOT enter treated areas without protective clothing until spray has dried. DO NOT allow the public to enter treated areas until spray has dried.
