Pasture Guard® Elite

Safety and Regulatory Information:

DG Class 9 III

Product Label:

Pasture Guard Elite is a selective herbicide with contact and systemic activity. It is mainly taken up by the leaves, so weeds must have germinated before spraying.

Pasture Guard Elite works best when weeds are small (seedlings) and actively growing after several days of warm humid weather.

Pasture Guard Elite must be used with sufficient water to ensure that all foliage of the target weeds is thoroughly covered. Use a minimum of 300L of water per hectare.

The addition of a non-ionic surfactant such as Widespread® 1000 at label rates will assist spray coverage and retention, but should only be used when specified in the label.

Do not use a surfactant when spraying peas.

Pasture Guard Elite has two active ingredients.

MCPB is taken up by the leaves and translocated to the growing points. Plants that are susceptible to MCPB convert MCPB to MCPA, which accumulates in the growing points and disrupts cell division and growth. Plants such as clover and peas do not make this conversion, so are unaffected by MCPB.

Bentazone is absorbed mainly by the foliage and inhibits photosynthesis in susceptible plants. Legumes such as clover and peas are not susceptible to bentazone.

40 x 20L per pallet
