Aerial Application Information - DO NOT APPLY BY AIR
CARROTS, PARSNIPS, PARSLEY AND DILL:
Apply when plants are in the 2 to 4 leaf stage and before weeds are 10 cm high.
For treatment of the whole field apply 600 to 800 litres per hectare depending on size and stand of weeds. For treatment of rows only , apply 300 to 400 litres per hectare depending on size and stand of weeds. Do not apply within 30 days of harvest.
CELERY:
(1)Seed beds - Apply after plants have emerged and as soon as weed growth warrants. Apply approximately 6 litres per 100 m2.
Ventilation is essential following application in the seedbeds.
(2)Field - Apply before hearts form or before plant s are over 15 cm in height. This is usually within 2 to 3 weeks of transplanting. For treatment of the whole field apply 600 to 800 litres per hectare depending on size and stand of weeds. For treatment of rows only apply 300 to 400 litres of spray per hectare depending on size and stand of weeds. Follow recommendations for use closely since celery is easily damaged during any stage of growth.
CRANBERRIES:
For control of cottontop and partial control of cloudberry (baked-apple berry)in peat bogs, apply at rates of 12,000 to 16,000 litres per hectare to infested spots before cranberry buds break. For control of annual grasses, sedges, bracken fern and broadleaf seedlings apply at 3,500 to 5,00 litres per hectare. Apply in March to early April.
NOTE:
Preferably apply the celery and cranberry treatments during a cool, sunny morning when leaves are dry; do not apply during strong winds, the heat of the day, a rain, or immediately before or after a frost
ASPARAGUS:
For control of seedling bluegrasses, chickweed, barnyard grass, and other weeds in seedbeds, apply at 500 litres per hectare as an overall spray. Apply when crop seedlings are 5 cm high and seedling weeds and grasses have 3 to 4 true leaves.
In the producing field, apply before the crop emerges when the grass seedlings are in the 2 to 3 leaf stage, or 3-4 cm in height.
