The Maximum individual dose rate is simply the highest dose you can apply at any one time. The maximum individual dose rate will vary according to the particular use e.g you can apply Roundup Energy at up to 4.8 l/ha on grassland, 3.2l/ha pre-harvest of wheat or 1.2l/ha post planting, pre-emergence of listed crops. Apply by sprayer to lightly wet the leaves and expect to see results in as little as 48 hours. Once sprayed Optima+ will naturally degrade in the soil leaving no residue, meaning you can start replanting in as little as seven days. This metabolic pathway is present only in green plants. Higher forms of life like mammals, birds, fish and insects are dependent on plant sources to obtain these three amino-acids in their food and neither absorb nor metabolise glyphosate. This is the reason Roundup has such environmentally friendly characteristics. If the situation you intend to use a PPP for is not listed on the product label, then you cannot follow label instructions and comply with the law. You may need to choose a different product which does carry the intended use.
