DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.
RESTRICTIONS OR WARNINGS
Sun protection while spraying.
Do not spray if expected it will rain within an hour.
CONSULT PROCESSORS BEFORE USING ON CROPS RECOMMENDED FOR PROCESSING.
AVOID DRIFT onto neighbouring crops, especially gramineous crops, such as corn, rice and wheat.
DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used container.
MIXING
Add water to the spray tank to 10 cm above the level of agitation and ensure the agitation device is working vigorously. (There must be a minimum of 100 L of water in the tank before any pesticide is added.)
If tank mixing, firstly, add any soluble liquid formulations and allow agitation for approximately one minute.
Then add GAI CHU at the point where agitation is strongest. (Do not add GAI CHU through a strainer or sieve). Allow further agitation for one minute.
Half fill the spray tank.
If using wettable powder or water dispersible granules, or other emulsifiable concentration formulations, these should be added after the GAI CHU to the half full spray tank ensuring vigorous agitation.
Only mix sufficient solution for immediate use. GAI CHU and any other tank mixes should be applied immediately for best results.

FEATURES & BENEFITS:
GAICHU has minimal environmental impact as it rapidly breaks down in the soil and water by microbial action.
GAICHU is quickly absorbed through plant cuticle becoming rainfast within an hour after application.
With GAICHU, there is no need to disturb previous crop residue, this conserves soil moisture, reduces erosion and entails a low energy output for cultivation.
Active in most climatic conditions. As long as grass weeds are growing, GAICHU will give good control whatever the weather conditions.
TIMING OF APPLICATION
CROP: Grass weeds may be treated at any time provided the pre harvest intervals are observed.
WEEDS: Grass weeds must be actively growing and not under stress during application as this may limit uptake and translocation.
For annual grasses, best results are obtained at 2-6 leaves stage, while with Paspalum Spp, best results are obtained at early flowering stage.
Type of Grass | L/ha. | 20L Knapsack | Timing |
Annual Grasses | 0.5 L | 50ml 60ml | Always apply when grass is actively growing 2-3 leaves to early tillering and no more than 12cm high. |
Perennial Grasses Blue couch -Dlgltarla scaolarum Kikuyu grass -Pennlsetum cladestinum Star grass -Cynodon dectylop | 1.0 L 1.2 L 1.2 L 1.0-2L | 100ml 120ml 120ml 100-200ml | Apply when grass is 15-30cm high. A further application may be necessary if regrowth occurs from rhizomes or new seed. Increase rate in dry conditions to 2.0-4.0 L/ha. |

Table 4: Annual and Perennial grasses and Erodium spp. in Orchard, Vine and Plantation crops, forestry and pyrethrum
| Crops | Weeds controlled | Weed growth stage | Rate (L/ha) | Critical comments |
Orchard, vine and plantation crops including: | Perennial grasses: | Established stands | 2-4 | See GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS, Spraying oils. Spray should be directed to the base of the tree or vine avoiding contact with fruit and foliage. Forestry: For annual grasses apply lowest rate to newly emerged grasses, increasing the rate as they develop. |
Spraying Oils: It is essential to add an adjuvant to GAICHU. Best results will be achieved with Uptake Spraying Oil at 0.5 L/100 L of spray solution. Alternatively, other oils plus a non-ionic wetter may also be used. When other crop spraying oils are used, mix at 1 L/100 L and add a non-ionic wetter (surfactant) at 200 mL/100 L of spray solution. Use of an oil is not always recommended. See Critical Comments for specific situation recommendations.
