Product Description

VIGILANT II is a gel herbicide for direct application containing 44.7 g/L picloram (as the potassium salt) and 4.47 g/L aminopyralid (as the triisopropanolamine salt), in a 240 mL pack. The label lists woody weeds (cotoneaster, gorse, Japanese honeysuckle, tree privet, wild tobacco tree, willows), rhizomatous plants (agapanthus, canna lily) and herbaceous weeds (bull thistle, capeweed, docks, Paterson curse, prickly lettuce) in non-crop areas, including native vegetation, conservation areas, gullies, reserves and parks. It is applied directly: on cut stumps (cut stems horizontally at 20 mm, ideally no higher than 100 mm above the ground, and apply a 3 to 5 mm layer of gel), in blazes cut into tree trunks, or wiped onto the leaves of rosette plants.

Where you must not use it. The label says: do not use in turf or lawns, and do not use in the urban home garden. Do not use it if rain is likely within 12 hours. Desirable plants may be severely damaged or killed by contact, including all brassicas, beans, flowers, fruit trees, legumes, lupins, ornamentals, potatoes, shade trees, squash, sunflowers, tomatoes, vegetables and vine crops, particularly where their roots may intertwine with the roots of the target plants. Picloram and aminopyralid can remain active in the soil for extended periods and can be active within the plant for up to 2 years.

Before you buy. Do not allow public entry into treated areas until the gel has dried. Do not contaminate ponds, waterways or drains with the chemical or used containers. Wear a face shield or goggles, overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist, and chemical resistant gloves and footwear when handling spills. If it gets in the eyes, hold the eyes open, flood with water for at least 15 minutes and see a doctor. Wash hands thoroughly after use and before handling susceptible crops. Contact a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 if poisoning occurs.
