Withholding Period for Herbicides

Although this information is available on our labels, we frequently receive inquiries about withholding periods. To address this, we have prepared a summary of the ACVM approved withholding periods for our product range.

WHACK – 2,4-D 800 Poisonous plants such as ragwort and others may become more palatable after spraying and livestock should be kept out until plants have died off.  For animal safety reasons do not graze treated pasture for 2 weeks after application.  This will also allow WHACK – 2,4-D 800 to penetrate through the plant for maximum efficacy.

ANIMAL SAFETY: Poisonous plants such as ragwort may become more palatable after spraying. If concerned that stock health may be affected, the stock should be kept away from treated areas until plants have died down. Delay grazing for two weeks after spraying as treated weeds will be palatable to stock.
