The exact composition of suitable products will

vary; however, vegetable and petroleum oil

concentrates should contain emulsifiers to provide

good mixing quality.
Highly refined vegetable oils have proven more

satisfactory than unrefined vegetable oils. For

more information, see Compatibility T

est for

Mix Components. For most crops, Dash HC or

Sundance HC may be substituted for crop oil

concentrate or methylated seed oil; however, for

some crops and tank mixes, Dash HC, Sundance

HC and MSO are not recommended. (See Crop-

Specific Information for more information.)
Nitrogen Source

• Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN): Commonly

referred to as 28%, 30%, or 32% nitrogen

solution, UAN may be used in addition to Dash

HC, Sundance HC, or crop oil concentrate to

improve weed control. DO NOT use brass or

aluminum nozzles when spraying UAN.

• Ammonium Sulfate (AMS): AMS per 1000 sq.

ft. may be substituted for UAN. When liquid AMS

is used, 2.2 fl. ozs. of 8-8-0 analysis may be

substituted for 1 oz. of dry AMS. Use high-quality

AMS (spray grade) to avoid plugging of nozzles.

Other sources of nitrogen are not as effective as

those mentioned. If the AMS is added directly

to the spray tank, add slowly while agitating.

Adding the mix too quickly may clog outlet

lines. Be sure the AMS is completely dissolved

before adding any other products. Bonide does

not recommend applying AMS if applied in less

than 1 Quart per 1000 sq. ft. because of potential

problems with precipitation in reduced volumes.

UAN and AMS are not registered for use in

California.
