PRODUCT LABEL SUMMARY
For the control of growth in ornamental plants as specified in the Directions for Use.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE ----------
RESTRAINTS ----------
DO NOT use on plants of low vigour or under stress (see General Instructions)
DO NOT apply to newly planted or recently transplanted hedging species or ground cover species, allow to establish and consolidate before applying for the first time.
NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS ----------
TRIMMIT is a systemic growth regulator that reduces internode lengths of new shoots and causes earlier formation of terminal buds. Use of TRIMMIT should begin only when plants are nearing their optimum size, that is once the desired shape (height, width and foliar density) has already been achieved and the plant requires only maintenance thereafter. Responsiveness to this product can vary from site to site. It is strongly recommended the lower rate be used when applying for the first time. If increased regulation is required then step up to the higher rate in the second year. If a plant is under stress, TRIMMIT should NOT be used. Stress can be caused by moisture shortage due to lack of rain or inadequate irrigation, high temperature, salinity, moisture excess due to water table, flooding or inappropriate irrigation, severe or successive frosts, poor fertility caused by imbalance of major or minor nutrients, diseases, insects, inappropriate herbicide use, mechanical damage.
MANAGEMENT ----------
Treated plants should be kept well watered with adequate nutrition. Plants should not have nutrition limited due to a lesser growth rate. When replanting at least 2 years should have elapsed since the last application of TRIMMIT. Alternatively, if planting into an area that historically has been treated, fresh soil should be provided to allow plant establishment and growth. A further alternative is to avoid original planting holes and place young plants as far as practicable from the treated soil (minimum 1.5 m).
MIXING ----------
Mix required volume of TRIMMIT with recommended volume of water. Maintain agitation to prevent settling.
APPLICATION ----------
Application Root Drench: Uptake of TRIMMIT is most efficient when it is applied to soil which receives adequate water and where there is a high density of feeder roots. Apply required amount of TRIMMIT in 1 L water per plant. Ensure all treated plants are lightly irrigated following treatment under dry conditions. Individual trees or plants which are smaller than average should be left untreated or given a proportionally smaller dose of TRIMMIT.
Retreatment
In some cases, control of growth may persist for more than 1 year. Retreat plants only when normal growth resumes. Only retreat in the late winter or spring that follows resumption of normal growth. Use the interval between the first treatment and the resumption of normal growth as a guide for retreatment in subsequent seasons.
COMPATIBILITY ----------
The compatibility of TRIMMIT with other products has not been established. Always conduct a physical compatibility test and check for plant safety on a sample plant before making broader applications of mixes to hedging species.
PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK, WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT
DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL ----------
Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Triple rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and deliver empty packaging to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose, clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant local, state or territory government regulations. DO NOT burn empty containers or product.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
For all application information, please refer to the label.
APPLICATION PER SITUATION ----------
RATE: 1.5-2.5mL in 1L water per plant
Hedging species:
- Golden Duranta (Duranta repens),
- Small leaf Photinia (Photinia glabra),
- Syzygium (Syzygium australe, Syzygium smithii),
- Box (Buxus microphylla),
- Viburnum (Viburnum spp.)
Ground cover species:
- Star Jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides)
RATE: 0.5-1.5mL in 1L water per plant
Hedging species:
- Mock Orange (Murraya paniculata)
CRITICAL COMMENTS ----------
Make applications in late winter to early spring, ideally at the commencement of a new season flush of growth.
Applications must cover the root system adjacent to the stem at ground level. Remove mulch to ensure application reaches soil. Light post application irrigation is recommended.
DO NOT apply to hedges less than 0.3 m or greater than 2 m in height. It is critical the apical growing points of the hedging plant be intact to act as sinks drawing the product into the plant at the time of application. Therefore, DO NOT prune until 4 to 6 weeks after application.
DO NOT allow plants to experience drought stress just prior to or just after application.
DO NOT make a repeat treatment within the following 12 months.
DO NOT apply to newly planted or recently transplanted plants. It is strongly recommended the lower label rates be used when applying for the first time. The higher rate can be used in following years when the responsiveness is established.
RESTRAINTS ----------
DO NOT use on plants of low vigour or under stress (see General Instructions)
DO NOT apply to newly planted or recently transplanted hedging species or ground cover species, allow to establish and consolidate before applying for the first time.
