Katana

Katana is a herbicide for pre-plant brush weed control in forestry, knapsack brush weed control in non-grazed areas and for selective ragwort control by spot application in pasture. It is rapidly absorbed by foliage and translocated throughout the target plants stopping the synthesis of vital plant growth chemicals. Plants stop growing immediately and discolouration of leaves occurs, followed by dieback that spreads slowly throughout the plant.

Formulation/Analysis:

  • Contains Flazasulfuron 250 g/kg in the form of a water dispersible granule.

Potential for Burn: 

Low

Application Timing, Special Instructions and Rates:  

  • Use KATANA at 2 grams per 10 litres of water. 
  • Apply 10 mls of spray mix to each Ragwort plant. 
  • Plants can be sprayed from rosette stage to early flowering. Flowering or multi-crowned ragwort plants will require a higher spray mix volume (20ml or 30 ml per plant) to ensure complete control.
  • Keep the container for KATANA in a cool place out of direct sunlight.
  • Prior to mixing KATANA thoroughly rinse sprayer, hose, lance and nozzle with water.
  • Add the required amount of KATANA into the knapsack tank half filled with water. Close knapsack tank and shake spray mix for one minute. Complete water filling. Close knapsack tank and shake spray mix for one minute.
  • Apply the KATANA spray mix within 24 hours of mixing.
  • Do not plant trees within 2 months of spraying.
  • Avoid spraying near ponds, waterways, ditches, etc.
  • KATANA will damage ryegrass / white clover pasture. Direct spray to the centre of the plant so minimal spray is applied to pasture. Soil residues will delay pasture re-establishment for 2 months after application.
