Casper Herbicide, 1 kg

Casper is a selective post-emergent herbicide specifically formulated for use on turf. Casper contains the active constituents 50% Dicamba and 5% Prosulfuron providing highly effective control of broadleaf weeds.

Casper Herbicide contains 50 g/kg of prosulfuron, and active constituent, dicamba, at 500 g/kg and has water dispersible granule (WG) formulation. Casper Turf Herbicide is intended for the post-emergence control of certain broadleaf weeds in established turf.
Prosulfuron is a member of the sulfonylurea class of herbicides. Its mode of action is inhibiting branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis, and consequently depressing cell division at the root tips. Growth of susceptible plant species is rapidly inhibited, with plant death occurring 14 - 21 days post-application.  
Casper Turf Herbicide additionally contains dicamba, which has been approved for many years for application as a herbicide to turf and non-crop situations at a similar maximum rate to that proposed.

Application Timing and Rate Variation

Casper delivers high levels of control with follow-up applications only needed if significant seed germination occurs after application.
Casper as a post-emergent herbicide is absorbed by leaves, shoots and roots of target weeds. Application targeted towards delivering a full coverage of the leaves and shoots. CASPER can be washed off the leaves and into the soil to promote root uptake for complete systemic action.

Mixing:

Casper mixes well with water, no pre-mixing is required. It must be mixed with water and applied by suitable spray equipment.
1. Clean the spray tank before using. If it is contaminated with other materials, mixing problems and/or clogging may occur, or injury to the turf may result.
2. Fill tank no more than 25% full with clean water before adding Casper. Begin agitating tank contents vigorously and continue agitation during entire mixing and spraying operation.
3. Pour required amount of Casper steadily into tank. Allow vigorous bypass agitation to completely disperse product.
4. After adding required quantity and obtaining complete dispersion, continue to fill tank to desired level for spraying.
5. Add required quantity of non-ionic surfactant if using and continue agitation.
6. Thorough agitation (preferably mechanical) of the spray liquid is essential during the addition of the product and during the entire spraying operation. Recirculate if left to stand.
Note: Spray solution should NOT be left standing in the tank overnight.

Application
DO NOT apply by air or through any type of irrigation equipment.
DO NOT apply using spraying equipment carried on the back of the user.
Ground Application: Spray nozzles shall be uniformly spaced and of the same size, and should provide accurate and uniform application. Use spray nozzles that produce no smaller than a rough spray quality. To ensure accuracy, calibrate the sprayer at the beginning of the season before use and recalibrate it frequently. Apply a volume of 400 to 800 L water/ha. Higher volumes can be used for severe weed infestations and higher cut turf (>15 mm) to ensure adequate spray coverage. It is recommended that a non-ionic surfactant to be added to the spray solution at a 0.25 to 0.5% v/v ratio. Good weed coverage with the spray mixture is essential for optimum weed control. Monitor the sprayer nozzles frequently during the spraying operation to ensure that the spray pattern is uniform. Make sure that boom height for broadcast application does not exceed 50 cm above the leaf blades of the turf. Avoid application under
conditions when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when spray drift may occur.

PRECAUTION
General Safety Precaution
DO NOT apply using spraying equipment carried on the back of the user.
Re-entry Period
DO NOT permit the general public to enter treated areas until the spray has dried.
DO NOT permit entry into treated areas until the spray has dried for low exposure activities such as mowing, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and elbow-length chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be washed after each day’s use.
DO NOT permit entry into treated areas for 14 days for high exposure activities such as hand weeding or transplanting, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and elbow-length chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be washed after each day’s use.
PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS
Casper is highly toxic to non-target plants including aquatic plants.
DO NOT apply under  bad weather conditions or from spraying equipment that may cause spray to drift to nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands, pastures and other non-target plants or natural and impounded lakes, dams or other waterways. Avoid to apply to areas where product may accumulate under the drip line of trees or where it may come into contact with roots of desirable plants.
PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK, WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT
Extremely toxic to aquatic life. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers. DO NOT apply if heavy rain is forecast.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
It should be stored in the closed, original container in a dry, cool, well ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Triple or pressure rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. DO NOT leave undiluted chemicals on site.
If recycling, change cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling crush or puncture and deliver empty packaging for appropriate disposal to an approved waste management facility. If there is no approved waste management facility available, bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal it specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant Local, State or Territory government regulations. DO NOT burn empty containers or product.
