or agricultural advisor for assistance.

Irrigation

In irrigated areas, it may be necessary to irrigate

before treatment to ensure active weed growth.

Coverage

Apply this product uniformly and completely to the

foliage of grasses on a spray-to-wet basis. Dense

leaf canopies shelter smaller grassy weeds and

can prevent adequate spray coverage. DO NOT

spray to the point of runoff.

Application Instructions

Applications (broadcast, band, or spot spray)

can be made to actively growing grassy weeds

at the rates and growth stages listed in Table

6 and Table 7, unless instructed differently in

Crop-specific Information. The most effective

control will result from making postemergence

applications of this product early, when grassy

weeds are small. Delaying application permits

grassy weeds to exceed the maximum size stated

and will prevent adequate control.

DO NOT apply when conditions favor drift from

target area or when wind speed is greater than

10 mph.

Ground Application (Broadcast)

Water volume. Use 1 to 10 pints of spray solution

per 1,000 sq. ft.

Spray Pressure. Use 30 to 60 psi (measured at the

boom, not at the pump or in the line). When crop and

grass weed foliage is dense, use a minimum of 3.67

pints per 1,000 sq. ft. of water and 60 psi.

Application Equipment. Use standard high-

pressure pesticide flat fan or hollow cone

nozzles spaced up to 20 inches apart. DO NOT

use flood, whirl chamber, or controlled droplet
