    Hi,

    last min decision to burn off a field for reseed now that its grazed.

    Plan to spray this afternoon, how long does it take spray to soak into grass considering today will be warm.

    will the rain that is due to arrive 12hrs later affect the spray or will it be taken up at that stage.

    thanks.

    2-3 hours should be enough

    You should sprayed before grazing. After grazing you need to wait 4-7 days depending on growth. You need about 2 hours dry weather before it is rain safe

    I think the label says 5 days before putting anything on it.
