It will damage plants you want to keep. The label lists susceptible crops and plants including clovers, cotton, fruit, hops, lupins, ornamentals, peas, pine trees, potatoes, soybeans, tomatoes, vegetables and vines, and says it can damage them during both growing and dormant periods. Legumes present at spraying will be severely damaged. Transitory damage can occur on stoloniferous grasses such as couch, kikuyu and carpet grass. Do not let spray drift onto susceptible crops, shade trees or pines.

When not to spray. Do not apply to stressed weeds that are not actively growing, if rain is likely within 1 hour, or when the temperature is above 30°C, there is no wind, or the wind is blowing towards susceptible crops.

Grazing. Do not graze treated pastures or failed crops, or cut for stock food, for 7 days after application. Poppies must not be sprayed later than 10 weeks before harvest.

Waterways. Do not contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. Alongside waterways, treat only noxious weeds and poisonous plants.
