Bow Saw Herbicide 500g – Powerful Woody Weed and Brush Control

BOW SAW Herbicide is a 500 g pack of Apparent Bow Saw 600, a 600 g/kg metsulfuron-methyl herbicide (Group B). The label lists broadleaf weeds in winter cereal crops (wheat, barley, triticale and cereal rye), established pastures and pasture renovation, brush control in pastures, rights of way, and commercial and industrial areas. Lawn and home garden are not listed as uses.

Where not to use it. The label says not to apply it to newly sown pastures (severe damage may result), pasture seed crops, or cereal crops undersown with legume pasture such as medics and clovers, and not to use a Group B herbicide that has already been used on the same land this season. Do not apply or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or where their roots may extend or chemical may wash into contact with them.

Soil residual and replanting. The label says it does not give commercially acceptable soil residual weed control, and it sets minimum re-cropping and pasture replanting intervals that depend on soil pH, rainfall and rate. Check the tables on the label before you plant anything.

Grazing. A withholding period is not required when used as directed, but the label recommends not grazing treated areas for 3 days, and longer after some tank mixes. Do not spray if rain is expected within 2 to 4 hours.

How to use it. Rates are very low and depend on the weed, for example 5 g per hectare for African turnip weed. See the Application Rates tab, our herbicide mixing guide and the full label before mixing. Do not store a mixed suspension for more than 2 days.

Before you buy. Do not contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. When opening the container and preparing the spray, the label asks for elbow-length PVC gloves and goggles. If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26.
