CATAPULT 480 SL is a broad spectrum non-selective systemic herbicide for the control of post-emergence broadleaf and grass weeds in maize field under minimum tillage or zero tillage and in non-cropped areas. MODE OF ACTION: Glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine) is a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide used to kill weeds, especially annual broadleaf weeds and grasses. It inhibits plant enzymes involved in the synthesis of the aromatic amino acids: tyrosine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine and is absorbed through foliage, and minimally through roots, and translocated to growing points. Apply CATAPULT® 480 SL as post emergence herbicide to vigorously growing weeds directly onto the foliage and immature bark at the end of raining seasons. APPLICATION TIMING: Apply CATAPULT® 480 SL as a post-emergent to vigorously growing weeds directly onto the foliage and immature bark. Do not spray if rain is expected in 4 hours. For best results, spray coverage should be uniform and complete. Do not spray weed foliage to the point of run-off APPLICATION TECHNIQUE: DO NOT treat weeds that are under poor growing conditions such as in drought stress, disease or insect damage as reduced weed control may result. Poor results may occur if weeds are treated whilst heavily covered with dust or have been mowed, grazed or cut and have not been allowed to re-grow to the recommended stage for treatment. Rain or irrigation occurring within 6 hours after application may reduce effectiveness. PREPARATION OF SPRAY MIXTURE: Half fill the spray tank (knapsack sprayer) with water. Add the required amount of CATAPULT® 480 SL, then fill the water to the required level and mix or agitate thoroughly to uniformity. Ensure that the mixture is used the same day. RE-ENTRY PERIOD: DO NOT enter treated areas during the restricted entry interval of 12 hours unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and all other protective gears, which must be washed after every use.
