To Prepare Spray

Add one-half the required amount of water to the spray tank, then add this product with agitation and finally the balance of the water with continued agitation. This material forms an emulsion in water, not a solution. This tends to separate on standing. Provide agitation to prevent such separation and ensure a uniform mixture.

For spot spraying with backpack sprayer, mix 2 cups (16 oz.) Brush Buster with 5 gallons of water. Wet brush stems and foliage thoroughly.

Drench the base of plants, then wet the lower 4/5 of remaining stems and leaves thoroughly to runoff. Apply treatment when brush is in full foliage. This method can be applied where susceptible species have been controlled by prior sprays and more resistant species, such as maple and oak remain. Soaking the base of the plant and wetting all stems to runoff is absolutely necessary for complete control.

For small (up to 3 inch diameter) stems, cut them as close to the ground as possible and apply undiluted Brush Buster directly from the can to the surface of the freshly cut stump.
