Stock Withholding Ideally sprayed pastures should be left for 7 days after spraying before grazing to allow the spore numbers to decline to very low levels. However reduction in spore counts starts by 24 hours after spraying and pasture is safe to graze then.
There are no withholding periods for milk or meat when using this product.
