- General Information
Bandit is active against many broadleaf weeds, and is particularly useful in improving the activity of phenoxy herbicides such as Orion MCPA 750, and Thistle Killem ™ Ultra. Bandit can be tank mixed with glyphosate products to improve control of white clover and certain other broadleaf weeds. Weeds controlled include: Alligator weed, black medic, black nightshade, Californian thistle, Cape weed, catsear, chamomiles, chickweed, cleavers, clovers, cornbind, cut- leaved geranium, dandelion, docks, dove’s foot, fathen, fennel, field bindweed, fireweed, goat’s rue, greater bindweed, hawkbit, hemp nettle, hedge mustard, hemlock, inkweed, leafy spurge, mallows, mouse-eared chickweed, Onehunga weed, nipplewort, pearlwort, pennyroyal, perennial sow thistle, prostrate amaranth, redroot, ragwort, selfheal, shepherd’s purse, sheep’s sorrel, sow thistle, stinking mayweed, spiny emex, spurrey, thorn apple, vetches, wild onion, wild carrot, willow weed, wireweed, yarrow. Weeds not controlled include: Fumitory, plantains, starweed, stonecrop or speedwells. Note: Bandit injures clover and re-establishment of clover in pasture may be difficult for up to 2 months after spraying. Do not spray undersown crops, pastures (except as a spot spray), peas, lucerne, potatoes and lupins. Avoid drift of spray onto susceptible crops – tomatoes, lettuce, pumpkin, grapes and ornamentals or to where their roots may extend.
Applications & Uses

- Applications
- Applicable Crop
- Application Technique
- Herbicide Target Species
- Spillage
Exclude non-essential people from the area. Wear protective clothing and prevent material from entering waterways. Absorb spill with inert material such as soil, sand, etc, and place in a waste container. Wash area with water, and absorb with further inert material. Dispose of safely to a suitable landfill.
- Application Methods
Bandit can be applied with conventional boom and spot spraying equipment. To minimize the risk of spray drift, avoid using nozzle/pressure combinations that produce fine droplets. Do not exceed recommended use rates and avoid boom overlaps. Best results will be achieved by spraying when weeds are young, actively growing and before the 3-5 leaf stage (unless stated otherwise). Do not spray when weeds are under stress from drought, extreme cold or waterlogging. Do not spray outside recommended crop growth stages, otherwise crop damage may occur.
- Mixing
Add the required quantity into the partly filled tank, then add the remaining water with agitation. Note: When using mixtures, add Bandit to the partly filled tank first, mix, then add the other products and the remaining water with agitation.
- Rainfall
Do not spray if rainfall is expected within 6 hours of spraying.
- Soil Residues
It is an offense for users of this product to cause residues exceeding the relevant MRL in the Food Notice: Maximum Residue Levels for Agricultural Compounds. Do not graze treated areas or feed treated crops or threshings to livestock for two weeks after application. Poisonous plants may be made attractive by spraying and stock should be kept away until sprayed plants have died down.
- Resistance Management
GROUP O2 HERBICIDE
Bandit contains dicamba, which belongs to the benzoic acid chemical family. Some naturally occurring weeds may become resistant when excessive use of the same herbicide occurs. To prevent or delay the development of resistance, use in tank mixes and/or rotate use with herbicides with a different mode of action. Consult http://resistance.nzpps.org/index.php for alternative modes of action and details of resistance management strategies (if any) for the crops listed on the label.
- Directions For Use
Crop / Situation Application Rate Timing Critical Comments CEREALS – (Wheat, barley, oats) 150 - 300 mL in a mixture with 750ml – 1.0 liter Orion MCPA 750 in 100 - 200 liters water/ha 150 - 300 mL in a mixture with 750ml – 1.0 liter Orion MCPA 750 in 100 - 200 liters water/ha Use the lower rates for small weeds and higher rates for more advanced weeds and where Californian thistle is present. Do not spray crops undersown with clover or lucerne DIRECT DRILLING – Brassicas and cereals 625 mL liters in mixture with 3 liters of glyphosate 360 g/L in 100 - 200 liters water/ha Apply to pasture with 5 - 10 cm of regrowth following grazing Allow 3 days for foliage absorption (5 - 7 days for couch or Californian thistle) before drilling KALE – (Marrow stemmed (choumollier) and thousand headed) 300 - 350 mL in 200 liters water/ha Apply when crop is 4 - 6 true leaf and weeds are small and actively growing None LINSEED 250 - 300 mL in 110 - 170 liters water/ha Apply when crop has 4 true leaves and before flower buds have formed in stem tips Apply when crop has 4 true leaves and before flower buds have formed in stem tips MAIZE 420 – 625 mL in 200 liters water/ha as a broadcast spray Apply when maize is between 15 - 30 cm high Use the higher rate on larger weeds. On hybrids with a short relative maturity (100 days or less) use the lower rate and apply at the earlier growth stage. When applied early, when maize and weeds are small, position the spray boom height relative to the ground. Adjust boom height as the maize grows, but do not position the nozzles directly above the maize whorls. Aerial Application: Apply in a minimum of 50 liters water/ha. Warning: Spraying outside the recommended growth stage or above the application rate may lead to crop damage.

- Spray Equipment Decontamination
To prevent injury to subsequently sprayed sensitive crops, thoroughly decontaminate spraying equipment immediately after spraying:
1. Drain tank and flush tank, boom and hoses with clean water for at least 10 minutes.
2. Fill tank with clean water and 500g of cold water alkaline detergent per 100 liters water. Keep agitation system running and circulate for 10 minutes before flushing hoses and boom, then drain.
