Plant Withholding Plant back
Where susceptible species such as Brassica's & Clovers are to be planted, it is advised not to sow for up to 28 days following application. High rates of Pasture Guard MCPA 750 will cause temporary suppression of clover species. Grazing the application area prior to spraying will remove the clover leaf and minimise suppression.
Stock
Delay grazing for 10-14 days after application to ensure the chemical has had a chance to start working. Some poisonous plants such as ragwort become sweet and more palatable after spraying and stock should not graze these pastures until the plants have died down. |

Application
At all times you should refer to the Pasture Guard MCPA 750 label. Rates vary from weed species and whether the plant is a seedling or established plant. Pasture Guard MCPA 750 is compatible with most other commonly used herbicides and insecticides. Tank mixing with other products requires care and each product should be added to the spray tank separately, and allow for full dilution before adding the other.
Mode of Action
Absorbed mainly through leaves and readily translocates in the plant with nutrient movement. It accumulates in the growing points of stems and roots where it interferes with cell division and enlargement.
