Mixing Tips for Apparently Sci-Fi Herbicide

Apparent Sci-Fi 500 SC Herbicide is a suspension concentrate which mixes easily in water. Prior to pouring, gently invert or roll container to ensure all active constituent is in suspension. Part-fill the spray tank with clean water. Add the correct amount of Apparent Sci-Fi 500 SC Herbicide and top up with water to the required level. Thorough agitation of the mixture is necessary before spraying. Mix only enough chemical for immediate use. When using a mixture of Apparent Sci-Fi 500 SC Herbicide and Betanal, half-fill spray vat with water then stir or agitate while adding the required quantities. Top up with water and stir again. Use as soon as possible after mixing. DO NOT add other herbicides or surfactants unless specifically recommended.

Applying Sci-Fi Herbicide

Boom Spray: Apply in a suitable volume of water to give good even coverage. When used pre-emergence, apply to moist soil surface. Ensure that the nozzles are set at the correct height to give even coverage i.e. 50-60cm above the pasture or crop. Use a nozzle and pressure combination to give a fine spray (200-300 kPa). Make sure nozzle tips are clean, undamaged and all the correct type and size. Impact nozzles or broadcast nozzle clusters should NOT be used. DO NOT use filter gauzes finer than 0.3mm. After use, wash all equipment thoroughly with water containing liquid detergent. Spray out completely, then rinse twice with clean water. To allow air access, remove nozzles and open spray tank lid.
