Warm Season Turf Grasses	Cool Season Turf Grasses
Bermuda, Kikuyu, Paspalum, Zoysia	Bent Grass, Fescue, Perennial Ryegrass

CASPER delivers high levels of control with follow up applications only needed if significant seed germination
occurs after application.

Example: Convenient rate ranges (0.6 to 1.2 kg/ha) for different weeds ensures flexibility and economy.
Applications to control weeds should ideally be made when they are still actively growing and not towards the end
of the growing cycle when plants are alive but not actively growing.
Active weed growth = Systemic xylem and phloem movement essential for systemic herbicide action

CASPER as a post-emergent herbicide is taken up by leaves, shoots and roots of target weeds. Application targeted
towards delivering CASPER to thoroughly cover the leaves and shoots is best. Always apply with a non-ionic surfactant.
CASPER can be washed off the leaves and into the soil to promote root uptake for complete systemic action.

Add a non-ionic surfectant at 0,25-0,5% w/v ratio.

Apply in total volume of 400-800L/hg - using higher volume in heavy weed infestations or higher cut turf.

Classification and Security

Legal warning	• Handle with care. • Poisonous if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin • May cause skin and eye irritation • Store in a cool place. • Store away from sun and damp, in original tightly closed containers in a well-ventilated place. • Store away from food and feed, under lock and key. • Keep out of reach of children, uninformed persons and animals. • Avoid storage above 35 °C. • Avoid spraying under cold conditions. • Do not apply CASPER or mixtures by air. • Re-entry: Do not enter treated area until spray deposit has dried unless wearing protective clothing.
Re-entry Period	28 days
Precautionary Statements	Do not inhale the spray mist. Avoid skin contact. Wash with soap and water after use. Wash contaminated clothing after use. Do not eat, drink or smoke while mixing or applying the product or before washing hands and face. Avoid drift or spray onto other crops, grazing, rivers, dams and areas not under treatment. Clean applicator after use. Ensure that all traces of CASPER are removed. (Read sprayer cleanup). Clean applicator with a household ammonia solution (1 %) before using with other herbicides. Allow solution to stand for several hours (preferably overnight). Dispose of rinsate where it will not contaminate crops, grazing, rivers, dams and boreholes. Prevent contamination of food, feed, drinking water and eating utensils. Spray equipment should not be used for applying chemicals other than herbicides. Destroy empty container and do not use it for any other purpose.

Application Advice

Tank mixing	CASPER is a water dispersible granular formulation, which mixes easily with water, provided the following mixing procedures are observed: Use CASPER spray preparations within 24 hours as the effectiveness may be reduced due to product degradation. Thoroughly agitate before re-using. If CASPER is tank mixed with other herbicides, insecticides and fungicides, the CASPER must be well mixed and in suspension before the other compounds are added.
Tank mix preparation	Quarter to half fill the spray tank with water. Commence agitation. Add the appropriate amount of surfactant. Add the required quantity of CASPER directly to the tank without prior creaming. Continue agitation while topping up the tank with water and while spraying.
Mixing and spraying	CASPER may be applied with any medium or high volume sprayer properly calibrated and which is equipped with an efficient agitation mechanism and which is capable of adequate coverage and even distribution. Best results are obtained using flat fan-type spray nozzles and applying a minimum spray volume of 200 - 400 l water/ha. There should be a follow up application 5-6 weeks later for best results.
Water volume	200 - 400 l water/ha.
Rainfastness	Rainfall occurring within 6 hours after a CASPER application may reduce weed control.
Tank mix stability	Stable

Stewardship

Type	Title	Description
To preserve the environment	Resistance Management	For resistance management, CASPER belongs both to the group code B(2) and O herbicides. Any weed population may contain individuals naturally resistant to CASPER and other group code B(2) or group O herbicides. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly and exclusively in programs. These resistant weeds may not be controlled by CASPER or any other group code B(2) herbicides or group code O herbicides.
