GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Some visible effects of the treatment should be apparent within 2-3 months of application but as picloram and aminopyralid can be active within the plant for up to 2 years, total plant death may take from 6 months to 2 growing seasons after application.
HERBICIDE RESISTANT WARNING GROUP I HERBICIDE Vigilant® II Herbicide is a member of the pyridines group of herbicides. The product has the disrupters of plant cell growth mode of action. For weed resistance management Vigilant® II Herbicide is a Group I herbicide. Some naturally occurring weed biotypes resistant to Vigilant® II Herbicide and other Group I herbicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by Vigilant® II Herbicide or other Group I herbicides. Since the occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Corteva Agriscience Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Vigilant® II Herbicide to control resistant weeds.
