Ground spraying equipment:            70-150L spray solution per ha at low pressure.

Precautions:

• It should be sprayed on target weeds. Shields can be used to prevent the spraying of your main crops.
• It should not be sprayed if the wind speed is above 15 kilometres per hour
• Do not allow spray mist to drift to undesired crop or vegetation.
• Do not use very acidic water to mix the Roundup herbicide.
• Spray actively growing weeds before planting (increases absorption at a lower rate).
