GENERAL INFORMATION

Edge Granular Herbicide is a preplant herbicide to provide long-lasting control of volunteer cereal, annual grass and broadleaved weeds. Edge Granular Herbicide controls susceptible weeds in the treated layer only, by killing seedlings as they germinate. It does not control established weeds.

GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS

Application
 Do not apply Edge Granular Herbicide to peat or muck soils, or soils which contain more than 15% organic matter.
 Do not apply to fields spread with manure within the last 12 months. After this period, ensure the manure has been thoroughly disintegrated and mixed into the soil to a depth of 10 to 15 cm.
 If the swath or stubble is removed by burning, cultivate once to remove the charcoal layer from the soil surface prior to Edge Granular Herbicide application.
 Application to soils subject to prolonged periods of flooding may result in accelerated herbicide breakdown. Additionally, application to wet soils or soils in poor working condition could result in reduced weed control. See Land Preparation section of this label for further precautions.
 Do not apply to soils with less than 2% organic matter. Application to eroded knolls or greywooded soils with highly variable texture or organic matter may result in reduced crop stand, delayed development or reduced yields in either the treated crop or rotational crop.
 Apply uniformly at the recommended rates. Over-application caused by overlapping, improper calibration or uneven application may reduce crop stands in the treated crop or rotational crop.
 DO NOT APPLY BY AIR.

Application Rates
For control of a wide spectrum of grasses and broadleaved weeds, follow the rate and application directions provided below. Apply prior to weed emergence. Edge Granular Herbicide will not control weeds that are emerged at the time of treatment. Emerged weeds should be destroyed by cultivation or via a burn- down with glyphosate.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE – CONVENTIONAL TILLAGE SYSTEMS
FAILURE TO FOLLOW LABEL INSTRUCTION MAY RESULT IN ERRATIC WEED CONTROL OR CROP DAMAGE. USUAL OR STANDARD SEEDING PRACTICES MAY NOT SUFFICE. READ ALL DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE APPLYING.
Land Preparation
If existing weed growth is too heavy to allow uniform application and incorporation, destroy established weeds by cultivation or a pre-seed burn-down using glyphosate before application of
Edge Granular Herbicide.
Application Instructions
Edge Granular Herbicide can be applied in the fall, between September 1 and prior to freeze-up for weed control the following year, or it may be applied in the spring any time up to seeding.
Apply with a properly calibrated granular herbicide applicator that applies Edge Granular Herbicide uniformly. Avoid concentration of the material in narrow bands. Calibrate the applicator according to manufacturer’s directions and check frequently during application to be sure equipment is operating correctly.
Apply Edge Granular Herbicide to a soil surface free of large clods and incorporate in the same operation if possible. The first incorporation must be done within 24 hours of application.
