Plant Withholding Plant back
Terbaflo does have a period of residual action in the soil and these residues can adversely affect crops such as tomatoes, curcubits, brassica's, beetroot, lettuce and beans. Treated areas should be ploughed and thoroughly ctross cultivated. An indicator plant such as radish can be sown to see if residues remain.
Stock

Rain within 3 hours following post emergence applications may reduce effectiveness. Subsequent rainfall is necessary to move the chemical in to the root zone of the weeds. Pre - emergence applications may be made when rain is imminent or even while rain is falling. |

Knockdown and residual non-selective herbicide
Can be used pre-planting for forestry establishment or as a release treatment over newly planted trees
Is used in some crops including lucerne, peas and maize to control certain grass and broadleaf weeds
Terbaflo is the largest forestry release product sold in New Zealand because it can be applied over the top of seedling trees to control grasses and broadleaf weeds.
In peas it is an extremely cost effective and easy chemical to use for controlling most common weeds.
It is one of the few chemicals that can be used successfully for controlling clumpy grasses such as annual, perennial ryegrasses and cocksfoot in established lucerne crops.
Terbaflo has a long half life, and is one of the mainstays in total vegetation control mixes.
Application
Application rates do vary from crop to crop so it is wise to read the label prior to use.
Terbaflo is mainly root absorbed but some foliar uptake does occur. It is then translocated in the plant to inhibit photosynthesis at the growing point.
