Application
Granit can be applied both via ground and aerial application methods. A minimum spray water rate of 60lt/ha is recommended. Agitation must be maintained at all times. Avoid spray overlapping and use caution when starting slowing or stopping as injury to the crop may result. Use spray mixture within 24 hours of preparation as spray degradation may occur. Granit is compatible with most other commonly used herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. Refer to label for rates on specific crops. Do not apply Granit if lime has been applied in the previous two months or if the soil pH is over 6.5.
