GENERAL INFORMATION
This product is a dispersible granule to be mixed in water and applied as a spray for selective control of weeds in certain crops and for nonselective weed control
on non cropland areas, It is noncorrosive to equipment, nonflammable and nonvolatile. This product may be applied to soil prior to emergence of weeds to control susceptible weed seedlings for an extended period of time; the degree of control and duration of effect will vary with the amount of chemical applied, soil texture, rainfall and other conditions. Soils high in clay or organic matter require higher dosages than soil low in clay or organic matter to obtain equivalent herbicide performance. Moisture is required to activate the chemical; best results occur if rainfall (or sprinkler irrigation) occurs within 2 weeks of application. This herbicide applied preemergence, before emergence of crop and weeds, is an effective procedure because susceptible weeds are controlled in an earl.y, vulnerable seedling state before they compete with the crop. With favorable mOisture conditions, this herbicide continues to control weeds for some time as the crop becomes better able to compete, Should weed seedlings begin to break through the preemergence treatment in significant numbers, secondary weed control procedures should be implemented; these include CUltivation and postemergence herbicide application, This product may also be used to control emerged weeds, Results vary with rate applied and environmental conditions; best results are obtained on succulent weeds growing under conditions of high humidity and temperatures of 70°F or higher. Addition of a surfactant, such as DuPont Surfactant WK or other Similar herbicide surfactant approved for use on crops, to' the spray (where recommended) increases contact effects of this product. This herbicide may be used as a directed postemergence application, where spray nozzles are adjusted so the weeds are sprayed but the crop is not, on the following crops: artichoke, corn (field), cotton, sorghum (wain), sugarcane, and established plantings of apples, bananas, plantains, bluebernes, canebernes, goosebernes, Citrus, grapes, macadamia nuts, olives, papayas, peaches, pears, pecans, walnuts and certain tree plantings.
Weed species vary in susceptibility to this product and they may be more difficult to control when under stress, Combinations of this product with other herbicides (as registered) increase the number of weed species controlled; consult labels of the companion product for this and other information, Since the effect of this herbicide varies with soils, uniformity of application, and environmental conditions, it is suggested that growers limit their first use to small areas. Observe all cautions and limitations on labeling of all products used in mixtures.
IMPORTANT-Injury to or loss of desirable trees or other plants may result from failure to observe the following: do not apply (except as directed for crop use), or drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants; or on areas where their roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots, Do not use on home plantings of trees, shrubs or herbaceous plants, nor on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or similar areas. Avoid drift of granules or spray to desirable plants, Do not contaminate any body of water, Keep from contact with fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides and seeds.
Thoroughly clean all traces of this herbicide from application equipment immediately after use. Flush tank, pump, hoses and boom with several changes of water after removing nozzle tips and screens (clean these parts separately).
