INSTRUCTIONS  FOR  USE  OF  GUIDE 


INTRODUCTION 

This  publication  is  intended  to  be  of  assistance  in  the  selection  and  application  of  pesticides.  The  pesticides  are 
grouped  into  four  main  sections:  herbicidesj  insecticides,  fungicides,  and  rodenticides.  Growth  regulators  are  at 
the  end  of  the  herbicide  section  and  insecticide/fungicide  mixes  are  included  in  the  fungicide  section.  Each 
section  is  indexed  separately. 

There  is  a set  of  charts  (at  the  back  of  the  guide;  Herbicides  and  Insecticides)  and  a descriptive  text  which  are 
used  as  a unit.  To  select  a suitable  pesticide  follow  these  steps: 

1.  Identify  the  pest(s). 

2.  Refer  to  the  chart  for  weed  or  insect  pests  and  record  the  pesticide(s)  available. 

3.  Refer  to  the  appropriate  pesticide(s)  in  the  text  and  select  the  product  best  suited  to  your  operation. 

4.  Apply  the  pesticide  strictly  according  to  instructions  given  on  the  label,  attached  to  the  product 
container. 

CHEMICAL  PEST  CONTROL  SUMMARY 

1.  Know  Your  Problem(s). 

• Indentify  the  pest(s). 

• Estimate  infestation  level  or  probable  economic  loss. 

• Know  the  crop  variety.* 

• If  necessary,  note  soil  type  or  texture  of  the  area  to  be  treated. 

NOTE:  *Some  products  are  restricted  to,  or  excluded  from  use  on  specific  crop  types  or  varieties. 

2.  If  chemical  control  is  necessary,  choose  a pesticide  based  on  the  following  criteria: 

• Registered  products  for  the  given  crop.  (Tank  mixes  may  have  separate  recommendations.) 

• Pests  controlled  by  the  product. 

• Crop  and  pest  stage  of  growth  or  development. 

• Recommended  application  time  (e.g.  spring,  summer,  fall;  time  of  day). 

• Cropping  and/or  harvest  restrictions  of  product(s)  considered. 

3.  Read  Product  Label  Directions  for: 

• Recommended  rate(s)  for  the  particular  pest,  infestation  level,  crop,  and  field  conditions. 

• Method  of  application. 

• Any  application  restrictions  during  adverse  or  extreme  weather  conditions. 

• Any  other  restrictions,  cautions,  or  special  instructions. 

4.  Clean,  Prepare,  and  Maintain  Application  Equipment. 

• Lubricate  and  repair  equipment  to  get  best  possible  performance. 

• Clean  spray  tank  of  residues  to  prevent  crop  damage  or  problems  with  equipment. 

• Clean,  calibrate,  and  if  necessary,  replace  spray  nozzles. 

• Check  pump  and  pressure  system. 

5.  Safely  Prepare  Pesticides  for  Application. 

• Use  protective  clothing  and  recommended  safety  equipment,  the  exposure  hazard  is  greatest  during 
mixing. 

• Follow  mixing  instructions. 

• Use  the  specified  amount  and  quality  of  water. 

• Use  recommended  rates  (tank  mix  rates  may  be  different  from  each  pesticide  used  alone). 

• If  specified,  add  adjuvants. 

• Record  rates  used,  mix  order,  pesticides  and  adjuvants  used,  and  water  quality  for  future  reference.

Apply  Pesticides  Using: 

• Recommended  safety  precautions  and  equipment. 

• Proper  application  equipment. 

• Recommended  rates  of  pesticides,  adjuvants,  and  water. 

• Proper  time  (e.g.  growth  stage,  time  of  day,  season). 

• Recommended  techniques  (e.g.  ground  speed,  pressure,  incorporation). 

• Record  weather  conditions  at  time  of  application,  techniques  used,  and  growth  stage  of  crop  and  pests 
for  future  reference. 


SPRAYER  OPERATIONS 

All  types  of  application  equipment  are  described  in  the  Guide  to  Crop  Protection  in  Alberta  Part  III  Pesticide 
Application  Equipment.  A summary  of  sprayer  operations  is  presented  in  this  publication. 

SPRAYER  CALIBRATION 

Accurate  calibration  of  spraying  equipment  is  an  important  aspect  of  chemical  usage.  An  application  of  more  than 
the  recommended  rate  is  wasteful  and  may  damage  the  crop;  applications  of  less  than  the  recommended  rate 
may  be  ineffective;  again  wasteful. 

Preliminary  Adjustments  and  Settings 

• Preliminary  adjustments  and  settings  include  all  of  the  adjustments  that  are  made  when  the  machine  is  being 
prepared  for  use. 

• Before  starting  to  spray,  check  wheel  bearings  and  tire  inflation,  and  lubricate  moving  parts  as  recommended  in 
the  operator’s  manual.  Tighten  any  loose  bolts  or  nuts. 

• Install  tips,  screens,  check  valves,  and  any  other  equipment  that  has  been  selected.  Be  sure  fan  nozzles  are 
aligned  so  patterns  overlap  slightly  but  do  not  interfere  with  each  other. 

• Boom  height  depends  on  the  spray  angle  of  the  tips  selected.  Set  the  boom  at  the  required  height,  and  level  it 
from  side  to  side.  Improper  height  causes  non-uniform  application. 

Nozzle  Calibration 

The  output  of  individual  nozzles  must  be  within  5%  of  the  average  nozzle  output  if  an  even  volume  is  to  be 
applied  over  the  width  of  the  sprayer.  Nozzles  with  outputs  either  above  or  below  this  value  must  be  cleaned 
and/or  replaced. 

Brass  nozzles  should  be  recalibrated  every  25  hours  and  stainless  steel  nozzles  should  be  recalibrated  every  50 
hours.  The  use  of  wettable  powders  will  require  more  frequent  recalibration  of  all  nozzles. 

1.  Check  and  clean  all  nozzles,  screens,  and  filters. 

2.  Check  pressure  gauge  for  accuracy. 

3.  Check  boom  pressure  with  an  accurate  gauge,  and  compare  to  sprayer  gauge  (both  should  be  indentical). 

4.  With  sprayer  operating  at  the  desired  spraying  (boom)  pressure,  using  water  only,  collect  nozzle  output  for 
30  seconds. 

If  ball  check  valves  are  used,  the  pressure  should  be  increased  by  35  kPa. 

5.  Measure  and  record  collected  amount  from  each  nozzle  on  the  boom. 

6.  Calculate  average  nozzle  output. 

7.  Replace  nozzles  that  have  an  output  5%  greater  than  average;  clean  and  recheck  nozzles  with  outputs  of 
less  than  5%  of  average  (replace  if  necessary).

Example  of  Calibration  Procedure  - Litres  per  acre  (L/ac) 


Procedure 

1.  Determine  size  of  area  to  be  sprayed 

2.  Know  sprayer  tank  capacity 

3.  Determine  spray  (water)  volume  rate /acre  (from  label*) 

4.  Select  nozzle  (see  Nozzle  Chart  below)  for  40  L/ac 

5.  Calculate  water  volume  required 

3.  Determine  pesticide  rate /acre  (from  label) 

1.  Calculate  amount  of  pesticide  required 


Example 

30  acres 
1400  litres 

40  L/ac  (L/ha  X 0.4047) 

8002  = 40  L/ac  at  275  kPa  and  9 km/h 
30  acres  X 40  L/ac  water  = 1200  L water 
0.6  L/ac  pesticide  (L/ha  X 0.4047) 

0.6  L/ac  X 30  acres/tank  = 18  L pesticide 


Set  pressure  at  275  kPa,  drive  at  9 km/h.  At  this  speed  it  takes  36  seconds  to  travel  90  metres  (see  Ground  Speed  Chart 
below). 

“Label"  refers  to  the  directions  on  the  pesticide  container.

Crop  Protection  In  Alberta  Part  III  - Pesticide  Application  Equipment. 

Ground  Speed  Determination 

Ground  speed  can  be  determined  by  measuring  the  distance  travelled  in  one  minute.  Repeat  the  test  several  times  and  average 
the  results.  Remember  to  use  the  same  throttle  setting  (tachometer)  and  transmission  gear  each  time.  Run  the  tests  in  the  field 
jo  be  sprayed  and  have  the  sprayer  tank  half-full.  Soil  surface  and  load  can  affect  ground  speed  and  a half-full  tank  represents 
the  average  load.  The  sprayer  must  be  at  full  speed  before  starting  the  test  run.

SPRAYER  CLEANOUT 

Reasons  for  Sprayer  Cleanout 

• To  prevent  crop  injury  by  leftover  residues. 

• To  avoid  loss  of  activity  of  the  next  pesticide  by  leftover  residues. 

• To  stop  chemicals  from  corroding  or  plugging  spray  equipment. 

Clean  the  sprayer  thoroughly  when  changing  chemicals.  Clean  all  parts  - sprayer  tank,  pump,  booms,  hoses, 
filters,  screens,  and  nozzles.  Plugged  nozzle  tips  should  be  cleaned  with  a soft  bristled  brush  or  compressed  air. 

Never  use  your  mouth  to  blow  a tip  clean. 

Ensure  that  wash  water  does  not  come  into  contact  with  any  desirable  vegetation  or  its  roots.  Make  sure 
discharged  wash  water  (especially  from  insecticides)  will  NOT  be  accessible  to  children  or  animals.  Do  not 
contaminate  any  water  course  or  water  body  with  wash  water. 

NOTE:  Pesticides  may  have  specific  recommendations  for  sprayer  cleanout.  Refer  to  product  labels,  on  the 
container,  for  recommendations. 

Sprayer  cleanout  following  use  of  Ally,  Glean  or  tank  mixes  with  Glean 

CHLORINE  BLEACH  must  be  used  to  deactivate  these  chemicals.  CAUTION:  All  traces  of  liquid  fertilizer 
containing  ammonia,  ammonium  nitrate,  or  ammonium  sulphate  must  be  rinsed  from  equipment  before  adding 
chlorine  bleach.  Failure  to  remove  ammonia  will  release  a gas  which  can  cause  eye,  nose,  throat,  and  lung 
irritation.

PREPARATION  AND  APPLICATION  OF  PESTICIDES 

I 

PROPER  MIXING  OF  PESTICIDES 

, 1.  Fill  the  sprayer  with  half  the  required  amount  of  clean  water. 

2.  Shake  the  closed  pesticide  container  vigorously. 

, 3.  Slowly  add  pesticide  to  sprayer  with  agitator  operating. 

[ 4.  Allow  container  to  drain  into  sprayer  for  30  seconds. 

5.  Fill  container  1/4  full  of  rinse  water,  replace  top,  shake  vigorously,  drain  into  sprayer  for  30  seconds. 

6.  Repeat  Step  5 three  times. 

j 7.  Fill  sprayer  tank  with  water,  spray  at  once. 

8.  Always  agitate  vigorously  if  sprayer  has  been  standing  for  a time  after  mixing. 

I ADJUVANTS  (SURFACTANTS,  WETTING  AGENTS,  SPREADERS,  ETC.) 

' Adjuvants  are  added  to  a pesticide  to  enhance  application  and/or  performance.  The  most  common  group  of 
adjuvants  used  in  pesticides  is  SURFACTANTS.  If  adjuvants  are  required,  USE  ONLY  THOSE  PRODUCTS  NAMED 
AND  RECOMMENDED  ON  THE  LABEL.  Failure  to  do  so  could  result  in:  (a)  crop  injury,  (b)  reduced  pest  control, 
(c)  invalidation  of  pesticide  warranty. 

Surfactants  facilitate  and  enhance  the  emulsifying,  dispersing,  wetting,  spreading,  sticking,  penetrating  or  other 
surface-modifying  properties  of  liquids  to  bring  about  enhanced  pesticidial  action.  Since  these  chemicals  produce 
physical  changes  at  the  surface  of  liquids,  surfactants  are  often  referred  to  as  surface-active  agents. 

Surfactants  can  be  generally  classified  into  two  major  groups  based  on  their  ionization  in  water:  ionic  or 
non-ionic. 

Ionic  surfactants  ionize  when  mixed  in  water,  that  is,  divide  into  two  charged  entities  - a positively  charged  ion 
(cation)  and  negatively  charged  ion  (anion).  An  example  is  ammonium  sulphate  (2  NH  ^ + SO  ^ " ). 

Non-ionic  surfactants  do  not  ionize  in  water.  Consequently,  they  are  unaffected  by  hard  water,  can  be  used  in 
strong  acid  solutions,  and  are  more  soluble  in  cold  water  than  in  hot  water.  Some  of  the  commonly  recommended 
non-ionic  surfactants  for  herbicide  mixtures  are:  Agral  90,  Ag-Surf,  Citowett  Plus,  Triton  XR,  Tween  20.

TANK  MIXTURES 


Tank  mixtures  are  two  or  more  separate  pesticides  mixed  in  the  sprayer  tank,  as  opposed  to  a mixture 
formulated  by  the  manufacturer.  For  example,  wild  oat  herbicides  are  frequently  mixed  with  a broadleaf  herbicide 
to  control  a wide  range  of  weeds. 

Rate  to  Use  in  Preparing  a Tank  Mix 

Always  check  the  product  labels  for  the  recommended  tank  mix  rates.  Generally  add  the  amount  you  would 
use  if  each  pesticide  was  applied  separately  but  there  are  exceptions.  Generalizations  may  be  dangerous  to 
your  pocket  book  and  also  your  crop. 

Preparing  a Tank  Mix 

To  avoid  physical  incompatibilities  go  through  the  following  steps: 

1.  add  half  the  required  amount  of  water  and  mix  with  one  pesticide, 

2.  agitate, 

3.  with  agitator  running,  add  the  other  pesticide.  Add  pesticides  to  the  spray  tank  in  the  following  order  to 
reduce  the  possibility  of  formation  of  precipitates  or  gums  which  may  clog  nozzles  and  filters: 

1.  Soluble  Powders 

2.  Wettable  Powders  and  Flowable  Liquids 

3.  Solutions  (amines  and  salts) 

4.  Additives  (surfactants) 

5.  Emulsifiable  Concentrates  (esters) 

For  specific  mixing  instructions  always  check  the  product  labels  as  there  may  be  exceptions  to  these 
guidelines. 

Avoid  Tank  Mix  Problems 

Check  the  labels  for  recommended  crops,  pests,  and  rates  for  tank  mixes  as  they  may  be  restricted  compared 
to  the  recommendations  for  each  individual  product.  For  example,  either  Poast  or  MCPA  amine  alone  can  be 
used  on  several  crops.  A Poast  + MCPA  amine  tank  mix  can  only  be  used  on  flax. 

Crop  injury,  reduced  pest  control,  or  physical  incompatabilities  may  be  the  result  of  using  tank  mixes  improperly. 
When  herbicides  for  grassy  weed  control  are  mixed  with  herbicides  for  broadleaf  weed  control,  a partial  loss 
(sometimes  total  loss)  of  activity  on  grassy  weed  control  is  quite  common.  When  reduced  weed  control  or  crop 
injury  is  likely  to  occur  the  advantages  of  tank  mixing  are  soon  lost. 

Guidelines  to  Avoid  Tank  Mix  Problems  are: 

• Tank  mix  properties  are  not  necessarily  the  same  as  those  of  the  individual  pesticides  applied  separately. 

• Use  registered  tank  mixes  only. 

• Check  the  labels  for  recommended  crops,  pests,  rates,  and  adjuvants  for  tank  mixing. 

• Follow  label  directions  for  preparing  the  mix. 

• Use  only  on  crops  or  varieties  registered  for  the  particular  tank  mix. 

• Apply  at  the  recommended  stage  of  growth  or  development  of  crop  and  pest(s). 

PLANT  GROWTH  REGULATORS  (PGR’S) 

Plant  Growth  Regulators  (PGR’s)  are  chemicals  which  affect  the  normal  growth  process  of  plants.  They  are 
generally  used  on  crop  plants  for  increased  yield,  promotion  of  flowering,  reduction  in  lodging,  etc.  For  example, 
Cerone  is  a PGR  registered  for  use  on  barley  (excluding  Birka)  and  spring  wheat.

i AIRCRAFT 


APPLICATION 


Aircraft  applicators  must  take  care  to  get  even  distribution  of  pesticides,  and  avoid  damage  to  crops.  The 

(following  suggestions  are  offered  to  help  minimize  these  hazards. 

1.  To  get  best  coverage  of  crops  and  minimize  the  loss  of  spray  to  the  atmosphere  - Spray  in  winds 
under  15  km/h.  For  best  results  apply  herbicides  in  volumes  not  less  than  14  L/ac.  Fly  as  low  as  is 
safe.  Width  of  swath  should  not  be  more  than  1.25  of  wingspan.  Space  the  nozzles  on  the  boom  to  give 
uniform  distribution  in  the  swath  in  spite  of  swirl  from  propeller  and  vortexes  at  the  wing  tips. 

^ 2.  To  avoid  drift  damage  from  aircraft  application  - Do  not  spray  when  wind  is  blowing  toward  a sensitive 
crop,  shelterbelt  or  garden.  Safe  distances  cannot  be  given.  Do  not  spray  in  dead  calm  near  sensitive 
plants.  Do  not  apply  volatile  herbicides  near  a sensitive  crop,  shelterbelt  or  garden  since  the  vapors 
rising  from  the  field  after  application  may  be  blown  onto  these  plants. 

3.  To  Avoid  Injury  to  Crops  - Use  water  as  a carrier  in  preference  to  oil  as  injury  is  less  likely.  Apply  at 
“safe”  growth  stage  of  the  crop.  Select  the  best  chemical  for  the  crop  and  weeds  that  are  present  and 
; use  only  enough  material  for  the  degree  of  control  desired. 


b PESTICIDE  CONTAINER  DISPOSAL 


In  Alberta,  the  following  procedure  should  be  used  when  disposing  of  pesticide  containers  even  though  the  label 
suggests  alternate  forms  of  disposal. 

r 1.  Triple  rinse  container  with  water  and  put  the  rinse  water  into  sprayer  tank. 

U 2.  Crush  or  puncture  container,  never  reuse  the  container  for  other  purposes. 

i ■ ' 

^ 3.  Deliver  containers  to  an  approved  pesticide  container  collection  site  (contact  local  agricultural  fieldmen  for 
r the  site  closest  to  you). 


WHAT  TO  DO  IF  RESULTS  ARE  UNSATISFACTORY 


Was  the  choice  of  pesticide(s)  suitable?  Are  the  crops  and  pests  treated,  listed  on  the  product  label(s)? 

Compare  your  method  of  pesticide  preparation  to  the  product  label(s)  instructions. 

Check  for  equipment  malfunction  - e.g.  plugged  screens,  nozzles  worn  or  mixed  type  or  size. 

Compare  your  application  techniques  with  those  given  on  label(s)  - e.g.  stage  of  growth  or  development  of 
crop  and  pest(s),  ground  speed,  pressure,  incorporation. 

Consider  weather  conditions  at  application  time  - several  labels  include  cautions  against  application  during 
weather  extremes  e.g.  cold,  heat,  drought. 

Consider  time  since  application.  Some  results  are  not  apparent  for  several  days.  Look  for  early  symptoms 
of  the  chemical  taking  effect. 

If  there  are  no  results  after  the  specified  time  in  Expected  Results  seek  technical  help.  Gather  all 
relevant  data,  particularly  evidence  such  as  photos  or  specimens.  Record  wind,  rainfall,  soil  moisture 
condition,  crop  variety,  fertility,  quantity  of  material  used,  acres  treated,  and  temperature  at  time  of 
spraying. 

Document  everything  in  writing.  If  crop  damage  is  involved  submit  a specimen  for  diagnosis.  Disease  or 
insect  damage  can  resemble  herbicide  injury. 


SAFETY  PRECAUTIONS 


WARNING  SYMBOLS 

Visual  warning  symbols  on  pesticide  labels  provide  an  indication  about  the  kind  of  harm  that  can  result  from 
pesticide  misuse  or  mishandling.  They  alert  the  user  to  both  the  degree,  by  the  shape  of  the  border,  and  the 
type  of  hazard,  by  the  centre  “picture.” 

The  “fire”  symbol  is  a warning  that  the  pesticide  is  flammable  or  easily  ignited. 
Keep  the  pesticide  away  from  heat,  sparks,  or  open  flames.  Do  not  smoke  while 
mixing  or  applying  the  product. 

The  “exploding  grenade”  symbol  indicates  that  the  pesticide  can  explode,  e.g. 
pesticides  in  pressurized  cans.  Explosive  conditions  may  also  be  created  by  using 
Roundup  or  Rustler  (glyphosate)  in  a galvanized  steel  spray  tank. 

The  “corroded  hand”  symbol  indicates  that  the  pesticide  is  corrosive  to  the  skin 
and  eyes.  The  chemical  is  either  acid  or  alkali  (caustic)  and  can  burn  the  skin. 
Protect  the  skin  and  eyes  when  using  these  products. 


The  “skull  and  cross  bones”  symbol  warns  that  the  chemical  is  poisonous  if  taken 
into  the  body.  Keep  the  product  out  of  reach  of  children.  Use  the  appropriate 
safety  measures  when  dealing  with  poisonous  products. 


PESTICIDE  TOXICITY 

Toxicity  is  defined  as  the  state,  quality,  or  degree  of  being  poisonous  and  is  dose  related.  Toxicity  is  usually 
expressed  as  an  LD  value.  LD  value  (expressed  as  mg/kg)  is  an  abbreviation  for  the  dose  that  is  lethal  to 
50%  of  the  population  of  test  animals.  The  smaller  the  LD  of  a pesticide,  the  more  toxic  the  pesticide.  LD  is 
usually  expressed  on  the  active  ingredient  (technical)  of  the  product.  In  this  publication,  the  LD  of  the 
formulated  product,  if  available,  is  also  given. 

The  following  table  relates  the  oral  LD  (mg/kg)  of  a pesticide  to  its  toxicity.

WARNING  POISON  CAUTION  POISON 

The  relative  hazard  of  a pesticide  is  dependent  upon  the  toxicity  of  the  pesticide,  the  dose,  and  length  of  time 
of  exposure.  For  example,  a pesticide  which  is  low  in  toxicity  can  cause  chronic  health  problems  due  to  long 
term  exposure.  Therefore,  it  is  imperative  to  reduce  exposure  when  using  all  pesticides  whether  they  are 
highly  toxic  or  have  very  low  toxicities. 

Symptoms  of  Poisoning 

Pesticide  poisoning  can  be  acute  (due  to  an  accident)  or  it  can  be  chronic  (due  to  continued  exposure  over  a 
long  period  of  time).  Accidental  contact  with  a pesticide  will  not  necessarily  lead  to  poisoning.  In  instances  of 
contact,  decontamination  of  the  point  of  contact  or  removal  of  clothing  can  arrest  possible  poisoning.  Both  types 
of  poisoning  can  exhibit  mild,  moderate,  or  severe  symptoms  as  follows;

if  Typical  symptoms  include  nausea,  headache,  tightness  of  chest,  loss  of  appetite,  stomach  cramps.  These  can 
be  immediate  or  be  delayed  by  12-24  hours. 

||  Moderate  poisoning  symptoms:  These  symptoms  are  usually  more  pronounced  than  mild  symptoms.  They 
jl'.  include  nausea,  trembling,  muscular  incoordination,  excessive  saliva,  blurring  of  vision,  tightness  of  chest,

w treatment.  They  include  vomiting,  diarrhea,  excessive  sweating,  inability  to  breathe,  convulsions,  fever,  intense 
' thirst,  coma. 

f 

Toxicity,  Hazard,  and  Risk 

* There  is  a distinction  between  the  terms  “toxicity,”  “hazard,”  and  “risk.”  Users  of  pesticide  should  clearly 
understand  the  principles  behind  these  terms. 

! 

Toxicity:  The  quality  or  potential  of  a substance  to  cause  injury  or  illness.  It  is  the  inherent  chemical  and 
physical  properties  of  the  substance  that  can  cause  a predicted  biological  impact.  For  example,  a pesticide  of 
. LD  gg  value  = 10  mg/kg  will  kill  50%  of  the  organisms  if  10  mg  per  kilogram  of  body  weight  is  administered. 

Hazard  — Toxicity  X Exposure:  Hazard  is  a function  of  the  toxicity  of  the  pesticide,  the  dose,  and  the  length  of 
' time  the  exposure  occurs.  For  example,  no  hazard  exists  when  the  container  of  a pesticide  is  sealed,  once  the 
' seal  is  broken  exposure  can  occur  and  a hazardous  condition  is  created. 

Risk  = Hazard  X Potential:  Risk  is  a function  of  how  the  individual  handles  the  pesticide  product.  The  hazard  is 
'p:  the  same  when  a pesticide  is  being  poured  into  the  spray  tank.  The  risk  is  different  if  one  person  wears  rubber 
boots  and  gloves  and  the  other  person  wears  none  of  these.  Therefore,  the  user  can  control  the  risk  by 
carefully  managing  the  hazard. 

'<  It  is  imperative  for  users  of  pesticides  to  minimize  their  exposure.  It  is  each  individual’s  responsibility  to  limit 
' this  exposure  through  personal  protection  and  careful  handling  of  pesticides. 

p'  REDUCING  EXPOSURE  TO  PESTICIDES 
Routes  of  Exposure 

K: 

Pesticides  may  enter  the  body  through  the  skin  (dermally),  the  mouth  (orally),  and  by  inhalation.  Of  the  three 
! routes  of  entry,  penetration  through  the  skin  is  the  most  common. 

Dermal  Exposure:  Minimizing  the  risk  of  dermal  exposure  is  possible  through  the  careful  selection,  use  and  care 
i.r  of  protective  clothing  and  equipment.  Protective  clothing  can  provide  a barrier  which  reduces  pesticide  contact 
• with  the  skin.  See  Protective  Clothing  and  Equipment  for  recommended  wear.  To  help  reduce  pesticide  buildup, 
« clothing  should  be  laundered  daily,  using  recommended  procedures.  See  Storage  and  Cleaning 
^ Pesticide-Contaminated  Clothing  for  recommended  procedures. 

, Pesticide-contaminated  clothing  should  also  be  laundered  separately  from  the  rest  of  the  family  wash  as 
pesticides  can  be  transferred  to  other  clothing  during  the  laundry  process.  Since  it  is  not  always  possible  to 
remove  all  pesticides  by  laundering,  clothing  worn  during  pesticide  use  should  be  restricted  to  that  use  only, 

; thereby  eliminating  the  possibility  of  continued  dermal  exposure  due  to  pesticide  residues  remaining  in  the 
! clothing. 

I 

i The  greatest  risk  occurs  when  the  chemical  concentrate  is  handled,  therefore  extra  caution  should  be 
exercised  at  that  time.  The  use  of  an  impermeable  apron  is  highly  recommended  when  handling  all 
pesticide  concentrates,  regardless  of  toxicity.  Clothing  contaminated  by  accidental  spills  of  concentrated 
pesticide  should  be  discarded  rather  than  laundered,  as  even  ten  launderings  were  unsuccessful  in  removing 
concentrated  methyl  parathion. 

I 

Although  not  all  pesticides  are  absorbed  by  the  skin,  they  may  still  cause  skin  problems  such  as  redness, 
blisters,  or  dry  scaliness  that  may  lead  to  serious  skin  eczema  and  dermatitis.  Good  personal  hygiene  is 
important  to  help  minimize  pesticide  absorption  through  the  skin.  Shower,  shampoo  the  hair,  and  put  on  clean 
clothing  immediately  after  you  finish  using  pesticides  for  the  day  or  after  an  accidental  spill. 

xvii 


Eyes  are  very  sensitive  to  pesticides.  They  can  be  exposed  to  vapour  or  fumes,  spray  drift,  or  accidental  spills 
and  splashes  when  containers  of  liquid  concentrates  are  being  opened  or  vyhen  the  concentrated  chemical  is 
being  poured  into  the  sprayer  tank.  Safety  goggles  should  be  used  when  handling  the  concentrated  chemical, 
regardless  of  the  toxicity  level.  Cuts  and  scrapes  should  be  cleaned  and  bandages  changed  after  handling 
pesticide  to  avoid  possible  dermal  absorption  from  contaminated  bandages. 

Ora!  Exposure:  Pesticides  can  enter  through  the  mouth  when  users  eat  or  smoke  with  contaminated  hands,  or 
lick  their  lips.  Face  and  hands  should  be  washed  thoroughly  prior  to  eating  or  smoking.  Children  may  be 
poisoned  if. they  drink  pesticides  which  have  been  stored  in  pop  bottles.  All  pesticides  must  be  stored  in  their 
original  containers  and  should  be  placed  in  a locked  area  out  of  reach  of  children. 

Inhalation  Exposure:  Pesticides  can  enter  the  body  rapidly  through  the  inhalation  of  fumes,  dusts,  or  spray 
mists.  Fumes  and  extremely  fine  particles  of  dust  or  spray  can  be  completely  absorbed  by  the  lungs  resulting  in 
a high  risk  situation.  To  minimize  exposure,  respirators  should  be  worn  when  moderate  or  highly  toxic  chemicals 
are  opened  and  being  mixed.  Read  the  pesticide  label  and  follow  precautions  outlined. 

Protective  Clothing  and  Equipment 

The  use  of  an  impermeable  apron  is  highly  recommended  when  handling  ail  pesticide  concentrate 
regardless  of  toxicity. 

I 

Standard  Protective  Clothing 

The  minimal  level  of  protective  clothing  which  should  always  be  worn  when  working  with  pesticides: 

• long  sleeve  shirt  - worn  closed  at  neck  and  cuffs 

• long  pants 

• coveralls  - worn  closed  at  neck 

• neoprene  overboots  or  long  rubber  boots  - pant  legs  worn  over  boots  (not  inside) 

• unlined  neoprene  or  rubber  gloves  - sleeves  worn  over  gloves  (not  inside) 

• wide-brimmed  hard  hat 

Handling  Low  Toxicity  Pesticide  Concentrate 

ADD  the  following  to  the  Standard  Protective  Clothing  that  is  worn: 

• impermeable  apron  • goggles  or  face  shield 

The  apron  and  goggles/face  shield  may  be  removed  after  mixing  operations  (low  toxicity  pesticide)  unless 
goggles/face  shield  are  specified  on  the  pesticide  label. 

Handling  Moderate  or  High  Toxicity  Pesticide  Concentrate 
ADD  the  following  to  the  Standard  Protective  Clothing  that  is  worn: 

• impermeable  apron  • goggles  or  face  shield  • respirator 

The  apron  may  be  removed  after  mixing  operations.  Check  pesticide  label  (especially  with  high  toxicity 
pesticides)  if  goggles/face  shield  and/or  a respirator  should  also  be  worn  while  applying  the  pesticide. 

ALWAYS  CHECK  THE  LABEL  ON  PESTICIDE  CONTAINER  FOR  ANY  EXTRA  PRECAUTIONS  REQUIRED. 

What  NOT  to  Wear: 

These  materials  absorb  chemicals  and  prolong  exposure  to  the  wearer;  most  are  not  easily  decontammated  or 
are  not  laundered  frequently  enough: 

• cloth  or  leather  gloves  • canvas  or  leather  shoes  or  boots 

• leather  watch  strap  or  belt  • fabric  baseball  caps 


Coveralls:  In  addition  to  cotton  or  cotton /polyester  coveralls  which  should  be  laundered  after  daily  use,  there 
are  a number  of  disposable  coveralls  now  on  the  market.  Not  all  disposable  coveralls,  however,  are  suitable  for 
use  with  pesticides,  especially  liquid  pesticides.  A manufacturer  often  offers  more  than  one  type  of  disposable 
coverall.  If  you  use  disposable  garments,  read  the  label  and  make  sure  they  are  the  extra  protection  type 
recommended  for  pesticide  use,  otherwise  do  not  buy  them.  For  example,  the  Kimberly-Clark  KleenGuard  extra 
protection  coverall  (white  with  red  stitching)  is  recommended  for  use  with  liquid  pesticides,  whereas  the  grey 
KleenGuard  coverall  with  blue  stitching  and  the  white  KleenGuard  with  green  stitching  have  not  been  given  a 
finish  to  provide  extra  repellency  to  liquid  pesticides. 

The  majority  of  disposable  coveralls  are  relatively  inexpensive  ($7  to  $10),  limited  use  garments  which  are  to  be 
discarded  rather  than  laundered.  Care  should  be  taken  not  to  contaminate  the  interior  of  the  coverall  when  they 

xviii 


[are  being  removed,  if  they  are  to  be  worn  for  more  than  one  wearing.  These  nonwoven  structures,  are  generally 
made  from  polyolefin  fibres  and  sewn  into  garments  by  a variety  of  manufactures. 

Disposable  coveralls  may  not  be  as  comfortable  as  cotton  coveralls  in  very  warm  weather,  however  they  offer  an 
added  layer  of  protection  and  the  advantage  of  not  having  to  be  laundered.  To  increase  protection,  the  coverall 
design  should  include  a hood  and  the  hood  should  be  worn.  Coveralls  should  be  replaced  if  they  rip,  tear, 
develop  holes  or  thin  spots,  or  fibres  are  raised  to  the  surface  forming  pills  (fibre  ends  rolled  up  into  small 
balls).  Disposable  coveralls  should  be  placed  in  a plastic  garbage  bag  and  taken  to  a landfill  site  for  disposal; 

' they  should  not  be  burned. 

Boots:  Neoprene  overboots  or  long  rubber  boots  are  the  recommended  footwear  as  they  are  less  likely  to 
I absorb  pesticides  and  are  more  easily  cleaned.  Be  sure  to  wear  the  pant  leg  over  the  boot  to  avoid  pesticide 
running  down  into  the  boot.  In  case  of  such  an  accident,  wash  out  immediately,  otherwise  wash  the  outside  of 
the  boots  daily. 

Wide  Brimmed  Hard  Hat:  Prevent  powders,  dusts,  or  spray  mists  from  being  deposited  on  the  hair  or  scalp  and 
thus  becoming  available  for  absorption  into  the  body.  The  hard  hat  should  be  washed  daily.  Avoid  the  use  of 
hard  hats  with  leather  inner  bands. 

Gloves:  These  are  required  when  handling,  mixing,  or  pouring  concentrated  pesticides.  A variety  of  glove 
j materials  may  be  found  on  the  market.  Unlined  neoprene  gloves  are  suitable  for  fumigants  and  most  pesticides. 
.Natural  rubber  gloves  are  suitable  for  most  pesticides  but  not  for  fumigants.  Butyl  rubber  gloves  are  100%  gas 
I impermeable  and  offer  superior  resistance  to  most  toxic  chemicals.  All  gloves  should  be  washed  soon  after  the 
I concentrated  chemical  has  been  mixed  as  pesticide  may  penetrate  into  the  material  if  it  is  not  cleaned  off. 
Studies  reveal  that  the  greatest  exposure  is  often  via  the  hands.  Care  should  be  exercised  to  avoid 
contaminating  the  interior  of  gloves  when  they  are  taken  off  and  put  on.  They  should  be  replaced  immediately  if 
! they  develop  holes  or  rips.  Gloves  are  also  advised  when  applying  field  strength  pesticides;  adjustment  of 
^ equipment  should  not  be  made  with  bare  hands.  Wearing  sleeves  outside  gloves  will  help  prevent  spills  and 
j splashes  of  pesticide  from  running  down  inside  gloves.  Do  not  continue  to  wear  contaminated  gloves  and  avoid 
wearing  leather  or  cloth  gloves  as  they  soak  up  the  chemical  and  become  a source  of  continous  contamination. 

Goggles  or  Face  Shields:  For  eye  protection,  wear  goggles  or  face  shields  which  are  resistant  to  chemicals 
and  have  ventilation  to  prevent  fogging.  Always  wear  eye  protection  when  handling  the  concentrated  pesticide.  If 
I the  pesticide  label  recommends  it,  continue  to  wear  eye  protection  when  applying  the  pesticide. 

I Respirators:  PERMANENT  RESPIRATORS  have  one  or  two  cartridges  screwed  onto  a facepiece.  Each  cartridge 
I contains  a prefilter  which  removes  dust  particles  and  a filter  of  activated  charcoal  which  absorbs  the  chemical, 
j The  cartridges  are  unscrewed  and  discarded  as  soon  as  any  odour  of  the  pesticide  is  detected  in  the  facepiece. 

! Permanent  respirators  are  cleaned  after  each  day’s  use:  unscrew  the  cartridges  and  wash  the  facepiece  with 
I soap  and  water.  Rinse  the  facepiece  in  clean  water,  dry  with  a clean  cloth,  and  screw  on  the  cartridges.  The 
I clean  respirator  should  be  stored  in  a sealed  plastic  bag  to  prevent  cartridges  from  absorbing  air  borne 
j contaminants.  DISPOSABLE  RESPIRATORS  have  the  prefilter  and  filter  in  one  cartridge  that  is  permanently 
i attached  to  the  facepiece.  The  entire  respirator  is  discarded  when  any  odour  is  detected  in  the  facepiece. 

I These  respirators  should  also  be  stored  in  a sealed  plastic  bag.  SPECIAL  NOTE:  Applicators  should  buy 
' respirators  and  cartridges  approved  for  use  with  pesticides.  Gauze  and  dust  masks  are  not  respirators  and  are 
not  recommended  for  pesticide  dusts. 

I Gas  Mask:  These  are  used  when  an  applicator  is  likely  to  be  exposed  to  very  high  levels  of  pesticides.  The 
i facepiece  covers  the  eyes,  nose  and  mouth.  It  is  connected  by  a flexible  hose  to  a charcoal  canister  worn  on 
the  belt.  The  lifespan  of  this  canister  is  longer  than  that  of  the  respirator  cartridges.  Manufacturer’s  directions 
' are  to  be  followed  for  cleaning  and  storing  gas  masks  and  canisters. 

Tractor  Cab  Filters:  Charcoal  filters  are  available  for  fitting  onto  the  tractor  air  intake  system,  to  filter  out 
pesticides  from  the  air  entering  the  tractor  cab.  The  use  of  these  filters  is  highly  recommended  to  reduce 
pesticide  exposure  during  spraying  operations. 

Safety  Equipment  Stores:  Safety  clothing  and  equipment  are  sold  by  U.F.A.  Co-op,  Fleck  Bros.,  Levitt-Safety 
Ltd.,  and  Safety  Supply.  Disposable  coveralls  - Kimberly-Clark  KleenGuard  Extra  Protection  are  available  at 
Acklands. 


STORAGE  AND  CLEANING  PESTICIDE-CONTAMINATED  CLOTHING 


All  layers  of  clothing,  including  undergarments,  socks,  pants,  shirts,  and  coveralls  should  be  stored  and  laundered 
separately  according  to  the  following  procedures,  except  for  disposable  coveralls  which  should  NOT  be 
laundered. 

• Wash  protective  clothing  daily,  after  you  finish  spraying;  the  sooner  the  better. 

• Handle  pesticide-soiled  clothes  with  rubber  gloves. 

• Remove  contaminated  clothing  and  equipment  outdoors;  remove  pesticide  granules  from  cuffs  and  pockets  if 
applicable. 

• Discard  any  garment  saturated  with  a full-strength  chemical  concentrate. 

• Use  a disposable  plastic  garbage  bag  for  temporary  storage  of  pesticide-soiled  clothes. 

• Wash  pesticide-soiled  clothing  separately  from  the  regular  family  laundry. 

• Pre-treat  pesticide-soiled  clothing  with  a laundry  stain  removal  product  intended  for  oily  stains  when  an  oil-base 
(emulsifiable)  formulation  has  been  used. 

• Avoid  overcrowding  in  the  washing  machine. 

• Pre-rinse  pesticide-soiled  clothing  on  pre-soak  cycle  of  automatic  washer. 

• Use  an  adequate  amount  of  heavy  duty  detergent  (recommended  on  the  detergent  package);  use  extra 
detergent  in  hard  water  or  for  very  soiled  garments. 

• Use  hot  water  setting,  full  water  level,  normal  cycle. 

• Wash  clothes  two  or  three  times. 

• After  use,  run  machine  through  full  cycle  with  hot  water  and  detergent  to  rinse  washer. 

• Line  dry  clothes  to  prevent  possible  contamination  of  dryer  and  to  increase  the  chemical  breakdown  of 
pesticide  residues. 

• Wash  hard  hat,  goggles,  gloves,  boots,  and  respirator  in  hot  water  and  detergent  daily;  avoid  getting 
respirator’s  charcoal  filter  wet,  remove  if  possible. 

REMEMBER:  Try  to  limit  clothing  worn  while  handling  pesticides  for  that  use  only.  Some  pesticides  are  difficult 
to  remove  from  clothing.  For  continuing  safety,  remember  to  wear  recommended  protective  clothing;  wear  suitable 
safety  equipment,  and  wash  protective  clothing  and  equipment,  except  disposable  coveralls,  after  daily  use. 
Disposable  coveralls  provide  an  extra  layer  of  protection.  For  further  information  on  protective  clothing  for 
pesticide  use:  Contact  your  local  District  Home  Economist  or  Home  Economics  Branch,  Edmonton. 


OTHER  PRECAUTIONS  AND  SAFETY  TIPS 

Remote  Control  Devices:  (e.g.  solenoid  valves)  can  be  installed  to  remotely  control  the  sprayer,  preferably  from 
within  the  tractor  cab.  This  can  reduce  operator  exposure  to  pesticides. 

Tractor  Cab  Cleanup:  After  spraying  pesticides,  the  inside  of  the  tractor  (seat,  steering  wheel,  etc.)  can  be 
decontaminated  by  wiping  with  warm  soapy  water  and  a sponge. 

Honey  Bee  Safety:  Bees  may  be  affected  by  pesticides.  Avoid  spraying  near  hives  or  contaminating  puddles  of 
water  from  which  bees  may  drink.  Spray  early  in  morning  or  late  in  afternoon  when  bee  activity  is  at  minimum. 
Warn  beekeepers  of  your  intentions  so  they  can  confine  the  bees  or  move  them  until  spraying  is  over. 

Farm  Safety  Program:  For  further  information  on  pesticide  safety  please  contact  the  Farm  Safety  Program 
Branch  of  Alberta  Agriculture  at  427-2186  or  write  to  the  Edmonton  office  at  Room  201,  7000  - 113  Street,

POISON  INFORMATION  CENTRES  (Alberta)  1-800-332-1414  (Calgary  only)  270-1414 

The  emergency  department  of  most  hospitals  can  deal  with  pesticide  poisoning.  However,  the  Poison  Centre  in 
Calgary  can  provide  information  on  recognizing  poisoning  symptoms  and  in  giving  the  right  treatment. 

Some  manufacturers  have  emergency  telephone  numbers  to  call  in  case  of  pesticide  poisoning. 

Chipman  Cyanamid  Monsanto  Uniroyal  Chemicals

1-416-643-4123 


STANDARD  FIRST  AID  MEASURES 

Before  using  a pesticide,  look  for  the  warning  symbol  on  the  label.  This  indicates  the  toxicity  of  the  pesticide.  If 
you  are  severely  exposed  to  a pesticide  and  you  are  alone,  DO  NOT  PANIC.  The  symptoms  of  the  pesticide  do 
not  show  up  immediately.  You  will  have  some  time  to  decontaminate  yourself. 

IF  ON  SKIN  - Get  any  spilled  pesticide  off  your  body  immediately.  If  the  pesticide  is  on  your  clothes,  remove 
them  and  rinse  your  skin  with  water.  After  rinsing,  wash  the  area  with  soap  and  water. 

IF  IN  EYES  - wash  eyes  with  water  at  once.  Hold  the  eyelids  open  and  wash  eyes  for  at  least  15  minutes  with 
fresh  water  each  time.  Get  help  to  take  you  to  the  emergency  department  of  the  nearest  hospital  and  take  the 
labelled  container  with  you.  Do  not  use  any  eye  medication  unless  prescribed  by  a doctor. 

IF  SWALLOWED  - read  the  label  under  FIRST  AID  INSTRUCTIONS  to  determine  whether  or  not  to  induce 
vomiting.  Usually  if  the  formulation  contains  PETROLEUM  DISTILLATES,  vomiting  should  NOT  be  induced.  If  the 
label  recommends  vomiting,  do  so  at  once.  Induce  vomiting  by  drinking  1 or  2 glasses  of  water  then  sticking 
finger  down  throat  OR  swallowing  syrup  of  ipecac  (adult  doses  30  mL;  children  under  12  years,  15  mL)  followed 
by  water  to  enhance  vomiting.  Do  not  induce  vomiting  in  an  unconscious  or  convulsive  person.  The  person  could 
choke  to  death  on  the  vomit  fluid.  Get  to  the  nearest  hospital  as  soon  as  possible.

CHEMCIAL  WEED  CONTROL  IN  ALBERTA 


Chemical  weed  control  functions  on  the  basis  that  certain  chemicals  are  capable  of  killing  some  kinds  of  plants  (weeds)  wi 
injury  to  other  kinds  (crops).  As  a group,  these  chemicals  are  called  herbicides. 

Herbicides  are  effective  tools  for  the  control  of  weeds,  and  herbicides  demand  respect.  When  properly  used,  herbicides  c 
safely  and  effectively  accomplish  their  objective;  misused,  they  can  cause  severe  economic  loss.  The  misuse  of  herbicides 
usually  due  to: 

1.  ignorance  of  their  characteristic  activity  and/or, 

2.  carelessness  in  their  application. 

Misuse  includes  such  factors  as:  applying  improper  dosages;  using  the  wrong  herbicide;  failure  to  properly  calibrate  applica 
equipment;  failure  to  wash  application  equipment  thoroughly  before  switching  herbicides;  improper  soil  incorporation;  timelini 
application,  with  respect  to  the  growth  stage  of  crop  or  weed. 


This  guide  lists  the  major  herbicides  registered  for  field  crop  use  in  Alberta.  Refer  to  product  labels,  attached  to  the  herbic 
containers,  for  final  detailed  information. 


CONSERVATION  TILLAGE  AND  HERBICIDES 


Conservation  tillage  is  a general  term  used  to  describe  a cropping  program  in  which  some  or  all  of  the  tillage  operations  < 
replaced  by  using  herbicides  to  control  weed  growth  and  at  the  same  time  preventing  soil  erosion  and  conserving  soil  mois 
The  foNowing  terminologies  are  included  under  conservation  tillage:  reduced  tillage,  minimum  tillage,  no-tillage  or  zero  tillage 
drilling,  and  chemical  fallow.

Herbicides  for  conservation  tillage  are  listed  below.  Rates  of  application,  weeds  controlled,  and  other  pertinent  information  can 
be  found  by  referring  to  each  herbicide  in  this  guide. 

1.  2,4-D  or  MCPA:  To  control  winter  annuals  such  as  flixweed,  shepherd’s-purse,  and  stinkweed.  Application  should  be  made 
to  emerged  weeds  prior  to  freeze-up. 

2.  Glean:  in  the  Brown  and  Dark  Brown  soil  zones.  Glean  can  be  applied  in  the  fall  prior  to  planting  spring  wheat,  or 
summerfallowing.  Glean  can  be  tank  mixed  with  Roundup,  Rustler,  or  Sweep. 

3.  Heritage:  Use  in  the  Brown  soil  zone  only  during  the  fallow  year. 

4.  Roundup:  Apply  Roundup  mixed  with  a non-ionic  surfactant  to  actively  growing  weeds.  Roundup  can  be  tank  mixed  with 
Banvel;  2,4-D  amine;  Glean;  Pardner;  or  Torch  DS. 

5.  Rustler:  Controls  annual  grasses,  broadleaf  weeds,  and  volunteer  cereals.  Rustler  can  be  tank  mixed  with  Banvel,  Glean,  or 
ammonium  sulphate  (21-0-0-24). 

6.  Sweep:  Controls  annual  grasses  and  broadleaf  weeds.  Can  be  tank  mixed  with  Banvel  + 2,4-D;  bromoxynil  + MCPA;  2,4-D; 
Glean;  Lorox  L + MCPA;  MCPA.  Apply  Sweep  + Glean  or  Sweep  + Lorox  L + MCPA  only  once  per  season.

Nitrate  accumulations  may  be  caused  by  leaf  damage  from  frost,  hail,  or  herbicide  action.  Symptoms  of  nitrate  poisoning 
include  reduced  milk  production  and  growth  rate,  abortions;  and  in  severe  cases  death  by  suffocation.  A veterinarian  should 
be  called  immediately  if  livestock  show  unusual  symptoms  when  they  are  fed  forages  which  may  contain  nitrates. 

After  severe  frost,  hail,  or  herbicide  damage  the  nutrient  value  of  the  crop  will  decrease  rapidly.  In  terms  of  nutrition,  it  is 
important  to  harvest  as  soon  as  practical  - however  in  the  case  of  herbicide  treated  crops  there  may  be  a waiting  period 
specified  on  the  herbicide  label.  Especially  in  the  case  of  high  risk  crops,  such  as  oats  or  corn  a delay  may  be  advisable 
to  permit  nitrate  levels  to  decrease.  If  there  is  a possibility  of  high  nitrates  in  feed,  have  it  analysed  at  a feed  testing 
laboratory. 


WEED  CONTROL  IN  FORAGE  CROPS 

Make  sure  all  forages,  as  well  as  any  companion  crops,  present  in  the  stand  are  listed  for  the  intended  use  on  the 
herbicide  label.  Follow  the  label  directions  on  the  herbicide  container  closely,  particularly  as  they  relate  to  stage  of  crop 
and  weed  development,  water  volume,  and  grazing  and  feeding  restrictions. 


HERBICIDE  PERFORMANCE  RATINGS 

Herbicide  performance  ratings  (numbers  in  brackets  after  the  names  of  crops  or  weeds)  are  based  on  data  from  the  Expert 
Committee  on  Weeds  (Western  Section)  Research  Reports.  These  numbers  are  not  absolute  and  therefore,  not  a guarantee 
of  expected  performance.  They  are  meant  to  be  used  as  as  guide  when  selecting  a herbicide. 

Tolerance  of  Crop  to  Herbicides 

The  number  appearing  in  brackets  following  the  crop  on  which  each  herbicide  is  registered  represents  the  expected 
tolerance  of  the  crop  to  that  herbicide.  Due  to  variations  in  variety,  weather,  timing  and  application  techniques  this  number 
is  only  approximate.  0 = complete  kill  of  the  crop  and  9 = no  measurable  injury  to  the  crop. 

Level  of  Weed  Control  with  each  Herbicide 

The  number  appearing  in  brackets  after  each  weed  represents  the  average  level  of  weed  control  expected  with  the 
herbicide.  Due  to  variation  in  weather,  growth  stage,  time  of  day,  application  technique,  etc.  this  number  is  only 
approximate.  0 = no  control  of  the  weed  and  9.0  = complete  kill  of  the  weed. 

A weed  control  rating  of  7.0  or  greater  is  considered  commercially  acceptable .

agitation  required. 


8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Early  application  will  avoid  crop  injury.  Barley  may  suffer  growth  suppression,  maturity  delay  and  yi€ 
reduction  which  may  be  offset  by  control  of  heavy  weed  growth.  • Make  only  1 Afolan  F application  per  crop  year.  • Do  n 
apply  to  crops  under  drought,  heat  or  frost  stress.

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS;  Afolan  F:  both  systemic  and  contact,  absorbed  by  roots  and  leaves.  MCPA:  systemic,  absorbed  by 
leaves. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  First,  browning  of  older  leaf  tips,  then  water  soaked,  wilted  appearance,  progressive  yellowing,  stem 
collapse,  browning  and  death.  MCPA  promotes  stem  bending,  twisting,  leaf  cupping.  Poor  results  may  be  expected  if: 
Incorrect  timing  of  application,  stress  conditions,  crusted  soil,  or  rain  immediately  after  spraying. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Requires  rainfall  or  irrigation  for  activation  of  pre-emergent  applications.  Rainfall  within  1 hour  may 
decrease  post-emergent  effect.  Unusually  heavy  rains  after  a pre-emergent  application  may  cause  severe  injury  to  corn, 
carrots,  or  parsnips.  Afolan  F+MCPA  Amine  - Rainfall  within  4 hours  will  detract  from  results. 

.12.  MOVEMENT  fN  SOIL:  Higher  rates  of  Afolan  F and  extreme  moisture  may  cause  some  leaching. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  graze  or  feed  green  plants  to  livestock.  Do  not  apply  within  60  days  of 
harvest.  No  restriction  on  succeeding  crops  except  if  2.0  L/ac  or  more  is  applied  (possible  25%  carry  over  to  next 
season). 

i.  14.  TOXICITY:  Very  low  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = technical  (4,000).  May  irritate  eyes,  skin,  nose 

I and  throat.  Toxic  to  fish. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID;  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  and  goggles.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use 
standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  aid  in  all 
cases. 

■16.  STORAGE:  Do  not  store  below  5°C.  If  stored  for  1 year  or  longer,  shake  well  before  using.

REGISTERED  MIXES:  None.  Surfactants:  Ag-Surf,  Agral  90,  Citowett  Plus.  Mix  Instructions:  Add  1/2-3/4  required  amount 
of  water.  While  agitating,  add  Ally  and  ensure  it  is  completely  suspended.  Complete  filling,  then  add  surfactant.  Continuouj 
agitation  is  required. 

CROPS:  Barley,  wheat  (Durum,  spring). 

WEEDS  CONTROLLED: 

buckwheat.  Tartary  hemp-nettle  pigweed,  redroot  stinkweed 

chickweed  kochia  rapeseed,  volunteer 

cockle,  cow  lady’s-thumb  shepherd’s-purse 

flixweed  mustard  (ball,  wild)  smartweed,  green 


WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  Buckwheat  (wild),  lamb’s-quarters,  sow-thistle  (annual,  perennial),  thistles  (Canada,  Russian). 

WHEN  USED:  Barley,  wheat  (Durum,  spring):  2 leaf  to  flag  leaf  stage.  Weeds:  Best  results  when  applied  to  first  main  flush 
of  young,  actively  growing  weeds.  Only  in  Black  and  Grey  Wooded  Soil  Zones  (pH  7.5  or  less). 

HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Ground  equipment.  Do  NOT  apply  by  air.  Chlorine  bleach  must  be  used  to  deactivate  Ally  when  cleaning 
equipment. 

Sprayer  Cleanup:  To  avoid  injury  to  susceptible  crops  such  as  canola  thoroughly  clean  sprayer  immediately  after 
spraying: 

1.  Drain  and  flush  tank,  boom  and  hoses  with  clean  water  for  a minimum  of  10  minutes. 

2.  Fill  tank  with  clean  water,  add  0.5  L chlorine  bleach  (containing  5.25-6.0%  sodium  hypochlorite)  per  100  L of  water. 
Flush  through  boom  and  hoses,  allow  to  sit  for  15  minutes  with  agitation,  drain. 

3.  Repeat  step  2. 

4.  Nozzles  and  screens  should  be  removed  and  cleaned  separately.  To  remove  traces  of  chlorine  bleach,  rinse  tank 
thoroughly  with  clean  water  and  flush  through  hoses  and  boom. 

CAUTION:  Do  NOT  use  chlorine  bleach  with  ammonia.  All  traces  of  liquid  fertilizer  containing  ammonia  or  ammonium 
nitrate  or  ammonium  sulphate  must  be  removed  from  application  equipment  before  adding  chlorine  bleach  solution.  This  ca 
be  done  effectively  by  rinsing  with  water,  failure  to  do  so  will  result  in  a release  of  a gas  with  a musty  chlorine  odor  whic 
can  cause  eye,  nose,  throat  and  lung  irritation.  Do  NOT  clean  equipment  in  an  enclosed  area. 

Rate:  Barley,  wheat  (Durum,  spring):  Ally  3 g/ac.  Surfactant:  2 L/1000  L spray  solution. 

Water  Volume:  40  L/ac  (minimum). 

Pressure:  275  kPa. 

Nozzles:  Flat  fan  types.  50  mesh  or  larger  screens.  Only  metal  or  nylon  filters. 

APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Higher  spray  volumes  required  for  dense  crop  canopy  and/or  large  weeds.  • Effectiveness  may  be 
reduced  if  spray  mixture  remains  in  tank  for  more  than  24  hours.  • Clean  equipment  thoroughly  as  described. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  Absorbed  by  foliage  and  roots.  Inhibits  cell  division. 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Growth  stops  almost  immediately.  Discolouration  of  dying  weeds  may  not  be  noticeable  for 
1-3  weeks  after  application  depending  on  growing  conditions  and  weed  susceptibility.  Poor  results  may  be  expected  if: 
Improper  mixing,  timing,  coverage,  or  when  weeds  are  under  drought  stress. 


EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Heavy  rainfall  immediately  after  application  may  cause  temporary  lightening  of  crop. 


MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Movement  is  restricted  by  fine  textured  soils,  soil  organic  matter  and  neutral  to  acidic  conditions. 

GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Drift:  Use  extreme  care  to  prevent  drift  onto  desirable  plants  or  non-target 
agricultural  land.  Grazing  Restrictions:  None.

APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Seed  sunflowers  within  1 week  of  application.  • A light  cultivation  with  a vegetable  crop  will  increase 
weed  control  when  there  is  inadequate  moisture  to  move  the  Amiben  down  but  enough  moisture  to  germinate  the  weeds. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  Requires  moisture  for  activation,  it  inhibits  root  development  of  seedling  weeds  for  several  weeks. 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Wild  Mustard:  Affected  seedlings  will  not  emerge  from  the  ground.  Control  of  cruciferous  species  will 
last  for  at  least  6-8  weeks  following  treatment.  Poor  results  may  be  expected  if:  • Application  and  incorporation  when  soil 
surface  is  wet.  • Inadequate  soil  incorporation  or  the  use  of  improper  incorporation  equipment.  • Insufficient  moisture  to 
carry  the  chemical  into  the  soil. 

EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  In- light  soils  a heavy  rainfall  may  wash  Amiben  below  the  root  zone  of  germinating  weed  seeds. 
MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Water  soluble. 

GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  None. 


TOXICITY:  Moderate  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = technical  (3,500).  May  be  a skin  irritant. 
Non-toxic  to  fish  and  birds. 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first 
aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention. 

STORAGE:  Store  in  heated  area.  If  freezing  occurs  store  in  a warm  room  at  10-27°C  for  several  hours  and  agitate 
thoroughly  before  using  to  ensure  all  crystals  are  dissolved.

necessary.  • Do  not  disturb  or  mow  treated  plants  for  at  least  2 weeks  after  treatment.  If  practical,  till  2-3  weeks  after 
treatment.  If  no  tillage  is  possible,  then  spot  treat  weed  regrowth  with  1/2  original  rate.  • Do  not  apply  where  water  will  t 
used  for  irrigating,  drinking,  or  other,  domestic  use.  • Do  not  spray  near  sparks  or  open  flame. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Systemic  herbicide  which  inhibits  chlorophyll  production.  Moves  through  foliar  and  root  system. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Whitening  begins  in  7-14  days  and  plants  die.  Short  term  residual.  Poor  results  may  be  expected 
if:  Poor  coverage,  inadequate  rate,  plants  over  mature  or  under  drought  stress.  Tillage  too  soon  after  application. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Heavy  rain  within  6-8  hours  reduces  effectiveness.

! on  high  organic  soils.  NOTE:  Vary  rates  according  to  different  soil  types.  Quackgrass  Control:  Atra-Mix,  Aatrex  Plus  - 2.2 
L/ac  to  quackgrass  foliage  in  fall  or  early  spring.  Cultivate  1-3  weeks  later,  plant  corn.  Repeat  chemical  treatment  as  early 
I post-emergent. 

1 Water  Volume:  60-120  L/ac. 

I Incorporation:  Only  Aatrex  Liquid,  Atrazine  F,  Atrazine  90W,  Aatrex  Nine-0  are  applied  pre-plant;  Aatrex  Plus,  Atra  Mix 
I can  be  applied  as  pre-emergent.  Do  not  incorporate  deeper  than  5.0  cm. 

Pressure:  200-300  kPa 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Continuous  gentle  agitation  is  needed.  Avoid  excessive  agitation,  especially  with  oil  mixtures,  as  a 
j grease  like  mass  may  form.  • Use  oil  mixes  at  once  and  clean  tank  and  system  with  a strong  detergent  solution.  • Use  50 
1 mesh  or  larger  strainers  and  use  only  metal  filters.  • Bypass  line  should  discharge  to  bottom  of  tank.  • Band  treatments  are 

! desirable  when  cultivation  is  to  alleviate  hard  soil  conditions  or  to  control  annual  weeds.

! 9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Inhibits  photosynthesis. 

I I 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds  slow  to  emerge  or  under  drought  conditions  will  be  killed  when  moisture  improves.  Heavy 
I rainfall  on  sandy  soils  may  cause  leaching,  a decrease  in  efficacy  and  off  target  injury. 

In.  EFFECT  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  will  activate  the  chemical,  carrying  it  into  the  root  zone  where  kill  will  begin. 

I 2.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Heavy  rainfall  on  sandy  soils  may  cause  leaching  and  soil  movement. 

^ 3.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Plant  only  to  corn  in  year  of  treatment.  Sugar  beets  should  not  be  planted  for  2 
I years  following  the  growing  season  in  which  Atrazine  is  used.  Crops  most  tolerant,  next  to  corn,  are  sorghum  then  flax, 
t fababeans  and  peas.  Latter  crops  may  be  seeded  in  the  season  following  application  if  rates  were  not  greater  than  40 
I g/ac  of  active  Atrazine.  Crop  injury  to  succeeding  crops  may  occur  if  there  is  an  extended  period  of  dry  weather  during 
j year  of  treatment.  Injury  is  most  likely  to  occur  on  seedling  crops  subjected  to  periods  of  stress  such  as  hot,  dry  weather. 

I To  reduce  Atrazine  residues:  Thorough  tillage,  including  ploughing  should  precede  planting  of  crops  other  than  corn. 

; Uneven  application  or  application  in  excess  of  recommended  rates  will  not  injure  corn  but  may  result  in  injury  to  other 
succeeding  crops. 

4.  TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = technical  (1,859-3,080).  May  cause  eye 
" irritation.  Very  low  toxicity  to  fish  and  birds. 

5.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  and  goggles.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use 
standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  AATREX  PLUS  or  ATRA-MIX  SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce  vomiting.  Get 

, medical  attention.  IF  AATREX  LIQUID,  AATREX  90W,  AATREX  NINE-0  or  AATREX  SOW  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting 
j (see  page. xxi).  Get  medical  attention. 

6.  STORAGE:  The  flowable  formulations  should  be  kept  from  freezing.  If  stored  in  unheated  areas  the  product  should  be 

warmed  and  agitated  thoroughly  prior  to  using.  1 1

Water  Volume:  Liquid  formulation  only  - 36  L/ac  minimum. 

Incorporation:  AVADEX  BW  - Two  incorporations  at  right  angles  are  required  for  thorough  mixing.  On  stubble,  incorpor< 
with  double  disc  or  cultivator  followed  by  harrowing  at  right  angles.  On  fallow,  use  2 harrowings  at  right  angles  if  the  sc 
loose  and  free  of  trash  and  lumps.  Do  not  incorporate  into  wet  soil.  Liquid:  The  first  incorporation  should  be  completed 
soon  as  possible  on  the  day  of  spraying.  Granules:  The  first  incorporation  should  be  completed  within  48  hours  of 
application.  The  second  incorporation  for  both  liquid  and  granules  may  or  may  not  be  done  immediately  after  the  first.  F 
maximum  results  from  spring  application  of  granules,  delay  second  incorporation  for  at  least  3-5  days. 

AVADEX  BW  + FERTILIZER  - Spring:  All  crops.  Only  pre-plant  incorporated  applications  recommended.  Incorporate 
immediately  after  spreading.  For  best  results  delay  second  incorporation  for  at  least  24  hours.  Fail:  Applications  should 
followed  immediately  by  a shallow  discing  or  cultivation.  In  the  spring  prior  to  seeding,  a shallow  cultivation  at  right  ang 
to  the  fall  operation  is  recommended. 

Implements:  Operate  incorporation  equipment  at  9 km/h.  • Use  a double  disc  or  light  cultivator,  to  a depth  of  7.5  cm,  p 
harrows  for  pre-plant  incorporation.  Heavy  duty  harrows  must  be  used  for  post-plant  incorporation.  • Straw,  lumps  of  soi 
etc.  dragged  by  harrows  will  cause  uneven  incorporation  resulting  in  reduced  wild  oat  control. 


12 


Pressure:  Liquid  formulation  only  - 200  kPa. 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  Choice  of  Formulation  - Use  liquid  formulation  on  soils  free  of  trash.  Use  granules  on  all  soils 
including  those  with  heavy  trash  cover.  Granules  may  be  applied  in  the  fall  prior  to  or  in  conjunction  with  fertilizer  banding. 
Field  Preparation  - Make  sure  the  soil  is  in  good  working  condition.  Reduce  trash  to  an  acceptable  level  before 
application.  If  soil  is  excessively  wet  or  lumpy,  cultivate  with  suitable  equipment  to  improve  soil  condition.  Seeding  - Flax, 
mustard,  and  rapeseed  can  be  seeded  in  treated  layer.  Barley  and  wheat  are  more  sensitive  and  should  be  planted  6. 0-7. 5 
cm.  Wheat  must  be  seeded  below  the  treated  layer.  • After  seeding,  any  deep  ridges  left  by  drills  must  be  levelled  by 
harrowing.  • Treflan/Rival  Mixes:  Drought  conditions  in  the  year  of  treatment  may  result  in  higher  levels  of  Treflan /Rival 
carry  over.  To  avoid  wheat  injury,  seed  6. 0-7. 5 cm  into  warm,  moist  seedbed. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Absorbed  by  wild  oat  shoots,  usually  resulting  in  death  before  emergence.  Under  dry  conditions  wild  oats 
may  emerge  before  being  killed. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Wild  oats:  Usually  kills  wild  oats  before  they  emerge.  Scraping  away  the  soil  1-2  weeks  following 
treatment  will  expose  white  to  yellow  wild  oats  shoots  2. 0-2. 5 cm  in  length  with  pinched  tips.  Plants  which  have  emerged 
and  absorbed  a lethal  dose  will  cease  growth,  leaves  becorrie  brittle  and  bluish-green  in  colour.  Under  dry  conditions,  a 
rainfall  of  1.5  cm  or  more  when  wild  oats  are  emerging,  can  cause  post-emergent  die-back  of  a high  percentage  of  wild  oat 
plants.  Crop:  Wheat  seeded  into  the  treatment  zone  under  very  dry  soil  conditions  may  be  thinned  and  delayed  when 
germinating  and  emerging  just  prior  to  a heavy  rainfall.  Wheat  must  be  seeded  at  least  1.5  cm  below  the  treated  layer  of 
soil  (eg.  5-7.5  cm).  Some  wheat  thinning  may  be  noted  on  eroded  knolls.  Poor  results  may  be  expected  if:  Incomplete 
incorporation  due  to  wet,  cloddy  soil,  or  heavy  trash.  Incorporation  delayed,  very  dry  soil  conditions,  in  spring  or  prolonged 
cool  soil  temperatures  at  time  of  germination.  Ridges  left  by  seeding  may  disrupt  the  treated  layer  and  allow  escapes. 
Equipment  deficiencies  such  as  very  light  harrows. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Moisture  is  required  for  activation.  Rainfall  of  at  least  1.5  cm  within  2 weeks  of  application,  in  the 
spring,  is  required  to  ensure  maximum  performance. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Negligible 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Drift:  No  effect  on  standing  crops.  Grazing  Restrictions:  Treated  underseeded 
legumes  can  not  be  harvested  for  green  feed,  silage,  or  hay  in  year  of  seeding.  Crop  Use  After  Hail:  No  restrictions. 
Succeeding  Crops:  Oats  should  not  be  seeded  into  soil  treated  with  Avadex  BW  in  the  previous  year. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (1,675-2,165).  May  cause  slight  eye  irritation. 
Slightly  toxic  to  fish.  Non-toxic  to  birds. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  to  avoid  getting  chemical  on  skin  or  in  the 
eyes.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce 
vomiting.  Get  medical  attention. 

16.  STORAGE:  Store  above  0°C.  If  frozen,  warm  to  22°C  and  agitate  to  redissolve  crystals.

dissolved  before  adding  Avenge.  Do  NOT  add  surfactant  to  Avenge  200-C  + Glean.  Avenge  640  alone  or  in  mix  requires 
surfactant  (Agral  90  or  Ag-Surf).  If  foaming  is  a problem,  add  a silicone  anti-foaming  agent.  Mix  Restrictions:  Do  NOT  mi 
with  MCPA  amine;  dicamba  (Banvel)  or  Target;  or  2,4-D  amine. 

3.  CROPS:  Bariey:  all  varieties.  Canary  Grass.  Pali  Rye:  Cougar,  Frontier,  Kodiak,  Puma,  Rymin.  Spring  Wheat:  Benito, 
Canuck,  Chester,  Columbus,  Fielder,  Glenlea,  HY320,  Katepwa,  Leader,  Macoun,  Neepawa,  Selkirk.  Triticaie:  Carman, 
Welsh.  Winter  Wheat:  Norstar,  Sundance.  Forages  Underseeded  to  Wheat  or  Bariey:  Alfalfa,  bird’s-foot  trefoil, 
bromegrass,  clover  (red,  sweet),  crested  wheatgrass,  fescue  (creeping  red,  red,  meadow),  Kentucky  bluegrass,  orchard 
grass,  reed  canary  grass,  Russian  wild  ryegrass,  timothy.  Do  not  treat  underseeded  legumes  if  they  are  to  be  grazed  or 
used  for  feed. 

4.  WEEDS  CONTROLLED:  Wild  oats  (7.5) 

5.  WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  None 

6.  WHEN  USED:  3-4  leaf  stage  to  minimize  early  wild  oat  competition,  and  maximize  yield  increases.  Very  good  control  at  4| 
leaf  stage  but  yield  increases  may  be  reduced.  Do  not  apply  to  barley,  wheat  or  canary  seed  after  6 leaf  stage  of  crop. 
Do  not  use  Avenge+Gjean  in  the  brown  soil  zone.  Use  Avenge  + Glean  on  soils  with  a pH  of  7.5  or  lower. 

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Aircraft  or  Ground  equipment.  Do  not  apply  Avenge  + Glean  by  air.

Water  Volume:  Avenge  200-C:  Air  - 8 L/ac  minimum;  Ground  - 40  L/ac;  Spra-Coupe  - 40  L/ac. 

Avenge  640:  Air  - 8-20  L/ac;  Ground  - 40  L/ac. 

Incorporation:  Not  applicable. 

Pressure:  275  kPa 

Nozzles:  Flat  fan  recommended;  tilted  45°  forward  for  better  spray  penetration.  50  mesh  metal  screens  and  filters. 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Do  not  spray  if  crop  is  heavy  with  dew  or  rain.  • Do  not  apply  if  the  crop  is  stressed  from  extremej 
drought  or  excessive  moisture.  • Do  not  spray  if  freezing  temperatures  are  forecast. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Acts  on  the  growing  point  located  at  or  just  above  the  soil  surface,  placing  herbicide  at  or  below  this 
point  is  most  efficient.  Distrupts  cell  division  and  elongation  causing  growth  to  stop.  Best  at  high  temperature  and  humid| 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Wild  oats:  Start  to  yellow  within  3-5  days.  Effect  is  faster  when  temperature  and  humidity  are  higi 
Affected  plants  will  turn  brown  or  remain  stunted  and  partially  green  throughout  the  season.  Wild  oats  in  the  1-2  leaf  staj 
at  spraying  or  those  that  emerge  after  spraying  will  be  unaffected.  Crop:  Slight  yellowing  may  be  visible  5-7  days  after 
application  and  will  remain  visible  for  2 weeks.  Poor  results  may  be  expected  if:  Spraying  before  3 leaf  stage;  too  low| 
rate  for  wild  oat  population;  inadequate  coverage  due  to  dense  broadleaf  weeds;  drought  or  temperature  stress. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  within  6 hours  will  seriously  decrease  activity. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Is  strongly  absorbed  to  soil  particles,  is  not  leached,  nor  carried  in  runoff  appreciably. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Drift:  Only  oats  can  be  seriously  affected  by  drift.  Grazing  Restrictions:  Do 
graze  or  feed  crop  for  8 weeks  after  treatment.  Treated  underseeded  forages  should  not  be  grazed  or  harvested  for  fee 
during  the  year  of  seeding.  Crop  Use  After  Haii:  Do  not  use  for  8 weeks  after  treatment. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Moderate  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = technical  (506-691).  Non-toxic  to  fish, 
birds  or  bees. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  and  goggles  to  prevent  contact  with  skin 
eyes.  Symptoms  of  poisoning:  Headaches,  tiredness  and  diarrhea.  No  long  term  health  problems  noted.  First  Aid:  IF  l| 
EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).( 
Get  medical  aid  in  all  cases. 

16.  STORAGE:  Will  withstand  freezing  temperatures,  returning  to  full  solution  as  temperature  increases.

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Best  when  crop  is  under  good  growing  conditions  and  air  temperature  10-25°C.  • Avoid  application 
when  crop  is  under  stress  from  adverse  environmental  conditions.  Do  not  spray  if  risk  of  frost  or  severe  drop  in  night 
temperature  is  forecast.  • Do  not  use  on  bentgrass.  • Apply  only  at  recommended  crop  stage  otherwise  crop  damage  can 
occur. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Absorbed  through  roots  and  leaves  and  translocated  in  phloem  and  xylem,  disrupting  the  metabolism. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Results  may  take  10-14  days  to  appear.  Proliferation  of  tissues  in  plant  causes:  twisting, 

bending  of  stem  and  leaf  petioles:  cupping  of  leaves;  increase  in  root  size;  increase  in  fibrous  roots.  Crops:  Shortening  c 
straw  may  occur  in  treated  crops  without  adverse  affects  on  yield.  If  applied  at  other  than  recommended  crop  stage,  hej 
and  stem  deformities  may  occur.  Crops  under  stress  from  adverse  environmental  conditions  may  suffer  a further  setback. 
Crop  injury  may  be  offset  by  weed  control  obtained.  Poor  results  may  be  expected  if:  It  rains  within  4 hours,  older  weep 
are  sprayed,  or  insufficient  water.  H 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL;  Rainfall  more  than  4 hours  after  application  will  not  reduce  effectiveness.  II 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Dicamba  is  more  subject  to  leaching  in  sandy  soils  than  in  clay  textured  soils.  During  the  growing  || 

season  the  half-life  of  dicamba  is  less  than  30  days.  H 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Drift:  Can  harm  ornamentals  and  other  desirable  plants.  Grazing  Restriction« 

Canary  grass:  Use  seed  only  as  bird  seed.  Cereals:  Do  not  graze  barley,  oats,  rye,  or  wheat  prior  to  maturity.  Corn:  dII 
not  graze  or  harvest  for  silage  until  7 days  after  Banvel  alone  or  Banvel  + 2,4-D  amine;  at  least  12  weeks  after  other  tanH 
mixes.  Pastures,  Rangeland,  Non-crop  area  (meat  animals):  If  treated  vegetation  has  been  consumed  by  meat  animalslj 
within  30  days  of  Banvel  application,  feed  the  animal  with  untreated  diet  for  30  days  before  slaughter.  Meat  animals  mall 
graze  or  feed  on  treated  pasture  30  days  after  Banvel  application  without  restrictions  on  slaughter.  Grazing  and  Hay  H 
Restrictions  (Dairy  Cattle):  (Days=time  between  treatment  and  grazing  or  cutting.)  Up  to  500  mL/ac  - 0 days,  501-93(11 
mL/ac  - 7 days,  931  mL/ac-1.86  L/ac  - 14  days.  Succeeding  Crops:  No  restrictions  unless  applied  at  1.0  L/ac  on  fa| 
or  stubble.  Then  grow  only  beans  (white),  cereals,  corn  (field,  sweet),  or  soybeans  the  next  year.  If  application  is  after 
September  1 or  if  soil  is  dry  subsequent  to  application,  crop  injury  may  occur  next  spring.  After  Banvel  + Roundup  for  thi 
control  grow  only  beans  (white),  cereals,  corn  (field,  sweet),  rapeseed,  or  soybeans.  ' 

14.  TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = technical  (1,700-2,900).  May  cause  mild  skir 
irritation  and  extreme  eye  irritation  and  swelling.  Non-toxic  to  fish  and  birds. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  to  reduce  exposure.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SI  I 
- use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  atten  ^ 

16.  STORAGE;  If  frozen,  shake  thoroughly  before  use.  No  activity  is  lost  if  completely  resuspended.

5.  WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  Canada  thistle  (4.7),  field  bindweed,  redroot  pigweed  (6.8). 

6.  WHEN  USED:  Beans  (dry,  lima,  snap):  1-3  trifoliate  leaves.  Corn:  1-5  leaf.  Fababeans:  Soon  after  3 leaf  stage.  Flax: 

Soon  after  crop  reaches  5 cm.  Peas  (field,  processing):  Soon  after  3 pair  of  leaves  form.  Soybeans:  Unifoliate  - 2 
expanded  trifoliate  leaves,  usually  18-28  day  after  planting. 

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Aircraft  or  Ground  equipment. 

Rate:  All  crops  710-910  mL/ac.  Acjjd  810  mL/ac  of  Assist  Oil  Concentrate  to  increase  performance.  Reduce  Assist  to  400 
mL/ac  under  hot  humid  conditions.  Do  not  use  Assist  on  peas,  instead  use  Citowett  Plus  at  2.5  L/1000  L of  spray  solution. 
Water  Volume:  Air  - 20-40  L/ac.  Ground  - 80-160  L/ac 
Pressure:  Air  275  kPa  minimum.  Ground  275-400  kPa. 

Nozzles:  Flat  fan  or  hollow  cone  only  recommended.  Tilt  45°  forward  to  ensure  better  coverage. 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Do  not  apply  to  crops  that  have  been  stressed  (e.g.  hail  damage,  flooding,  drought,  widely  fluctuating 
temperatures,  prolong  cold  weather).  • Best  results  when  weeds  young  and  actively  growing. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Contact  herbicide  which  interferes  with  photosynthesis.  In  resistant  plants,  metabolized  to  a non-toxic 
material. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Weeds  turn  yellow  initially  and  then  brown,  usually  within  2 weeks.  Crops:  Yellowing, 

bronzing,  speckling,  or  burning  occurs  sometimes.  The  crop  usually  outgrows  the  condition  within  10  days.  Poor  results 

may  be  expected:  When  weeds  are  beyond  recommended  growth  stage;  when  spray  coverage  is  poor;  or  under  poor 

growing  conditions. 

/ 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  within  6-8  hours  of  application  may  reduce  activity. 


12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Bentazon  is  not  adsorbed  to  soil  particles,  but  is  rapidly  incorporated  into  the  soil  organic  matter  by 
microorganisms.  Does  not  leach  below  plow  layer. 


13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Drift:  Avoid  drift  on  to  susceptible  crops  such  as  adzuki  and  mung  beans, 
,pucumbers,  lentils,  mustard,  rapeseed,  sugar  beets,  sunflowers.  Grazing  Restrictions:  Do  not  feed  green  plants  to 
livestock.  Succeeding  Crops:  No  restrictions. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = technical  (1,100).  Slightly  toxic  to  fish. 
Non-toxic  to  birds  and  bees.

*NR-Not  Registered. 

Water  Volume:  60-80  L/ac. 

Pressure:  200-300  kPa. 


8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Do  not  use  Bladex  on  soils  with  more  than  70%  sand  or  less  than  1%  organic  matter. 

• For  early  post-emergent  application:  add  1 L Bio-Veg  crop  oil/ 100  mL  spray  solution.  Do  not  apply  beyond  the  3 leaf 
stage  of  corn  (approx.  7.5  cm). 

• A timely  inter-row  cultivation  will  control  any  seedling  weeds  which  escape  the  treatment. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Active  through  root  uptake,  requires  moisture  to  carry  it  to  root  zone.  Interferes  with  photosynthesis. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds  fail  to  emerge  or  die  before  reaching  2-3  leaf  stage. 


11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  or  irrigation  required  for  activation.  Heavy  rainfall  on  very  sandy  soil  may  cause  leachinj 
and  reduce  effectiveness. 


12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Degree  of  movement  depends  on  soil  texture,  water  content,  and  organic  matter.  In  most  cases, 
movement  is  negligible.  On  sandy  soils,  leaching  rate  was  found  to  be  comparable  to  atrazine. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Where  atrazine  mix  is  used,  corn  should  follow  corn.

5.  WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  Canada  thistle,  horsetail. 

6.  WHEN  USED:  Cereals,  2-5  leaf  stage.  Canada  thistle,  delay  application  until  cereals  have  reached  5 leaf  stage. 

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Ground  equipment. 

Rate:  910  mL/ac 
Water  Volume:  40  L/ac  minimum. 

Pressure:  200-300  kPa. 

Nozzles:  Flat  fan  recommended.  Screens  50  mesh  or  larger. 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Boom  Angle;  Direct  spray  straight  down. 

• Application  after  5 leaf  stage  may  cause  serious  crop  injury  and  give  poor  weed  control. 

• Allow  4 days  before  or  after  wild  oat  herbicide  application. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Cyanazine  and  MCPA-K  act  synergistically  to  disrupt  metabolism  and  inhibit  photosynthesis. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Yellow  blotches  first  appear  in  5-10  days  then  the  whole  plant  turns  yellow  and  brown  an 
dies.  Young  vigorously  growing  plants  affected  first.  Crop:  Under  moisture  or  temperature  stress,  Blagal  may  cause 
temporary  yellowing  of  lower  leaves.  Poor  results  may  be  expected  if:  • Reduced  application  rate.  • Poor  penetration 
through  dense  crop  canopy.  • Extremely  poor  growing  conditions  (droughty).  • Late  application. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rain  within  4 hours  will  seriously  reduce  activity. 


12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Cyanazine:  Degree  of  movement  depends  on  soil  texture,  water  content,  and  organic  matter.  In  m 
cases,  movement  is  negligible.  On  sandy  soils,  leaching  rate  was  found  to  be  comparable  to  atrazine.  MCPA-K:  Readily 
mobile  in  the  soil. 


13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  graze  or  feed  green  plants  to  livestock.  Crop  Use  After  Hail:  Use  if 
mature.  Succeeding  Crops:  No  restrictions. 


14.  TOXICITY:  Moderate-high  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  „ rats  (mg/kg)  = Cyanazine  (182-380),  MCPA  (700) 


Blagal  (500).  Non-toxic  to  fish,  birds,  and  bees. 


15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID;  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  to  avoid  contact  with  skin  or  eyes.  IF  IN 
EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi) 
Get  medical  attention.

5.  WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  Canada  thistle  and  perennial  sow-thistle. 

6.  WHEN  USED:  Cereals:  2 leaf  to  early  flag  leaf.  Winter  wheat,  fall  rye:  2-4  leaf  (fall);  - after  growth  begins  to  early  flag 
leaf  (spring).  Canary  seed:  3-5  leaf.  Flax:  5-10  cm.  Corn:  4-6  leaf.  Seedling  Grasses:  2-4  leaf  (establishment  year  only, 
not  underseeded  to  legumes).  Weeds:  before  5 leaf  stage.  Buckwheats,  groundsel,  lamb’s-quarters,  mustards  (wild, 
wormseed),  ragweed,  stinkweed  - up  to  8 leaf  stage. 

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Aircraft  or  Ground  equipment. 

Rate:  400  mL/ac. 

Water  Volume:  Air:  8 L/ac  or  more.  Ground:  20  L/ac  or  more.  Corn:  80-120  L/ac.  Seedling  Grasses:  60  L/ac. 

Pressure:  275  kPa 

Nozzles:  Flat  fan  recommended. 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Avoid  spraying  during  a severe  drought.  Under  conditions  of  high  temperature  and  humidity,  slight 
discolouration  of  cereals  may  occur  but  no  effect  on  crop  yields.  ‘ Flax  is  less  tolerant  than  cereals,  therefore  do  not  spray 
flax  in  hot  humid  weather  when  day  time  temperatures  are  over  25-29°C.  • Best  results  are  achieved  when  weeds  are 

i'  sprayed  in  seedling  stage,  with  good  spray  coverage.  • Corn:  Buctril  M at  400  mL/ac,  as  an  overall  spray  only  up  to  6 leaf 
i stage.  Buctril  M + Atrazine  for  a broader  spectrum  of  weed  control.  Cultivation  after  application  is  not  recommended. 

I • Observe  all  Glean  precautions  (with  Glean  mix),  including  soil  pH  limits  and  crop  rotations. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Bromoxynil  is  a contact  type  herbicide,  therefore,  good  spray  coverage  is  essential.  Inhibits 
photosynthesis  and  plant  respiration.  MCPA  is  absorbed  through  leaves  and  is  readily  translocated  in  the  plant. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Small  burnt  spots  on  the  leaf  can  appear  within  hours,  death  takes  up  to  2 weeks.  Poor  results  may 
I be  expected  if:  Poor  coverage.  Poor  penetration  through  crop  canopy. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  No  effect. 

;I2.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Readily  leached  from  soil.  Longer  residual  in  dry  soil. 

|I3.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Use  only  on  seedling  grasses  grown  for  seed  production,  do  not  graze  or 
! harvest  for  feed.  Succeeding  Crops:  No  restrictions. 

114.  TOXICITY:  High  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (365).  Very  toxic  to  fish  and  birds.  Non-toxic  to 
bees. 

115.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first 
' aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce  vomiting.  Get  medical  attention.

3.  CROPS:  Non-crop  areas  only. 

4.  WEEDS  CONTROLLED:  Non-selective. 

5.  WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  Not  applicable. 

6.  WHEN  USED:  May  be  applied  during  the  growing  season,  but  to  prevent  growth  apply  in  fall  or  early  spring. 

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Calmix  spreader  or  shaker. 

Rate:  Apply  higher  rate  to  heavier  soils  and/or  to  extend  the  growth  control  period. 

Weeds  kg/ 100  m* 

Annual  weeds  and  perennial  seedlings  2.5 

Shallow-rooted  perennials  3.75 

Heavy  perennial  growth  5.0 

• Spot  treatment  - 37.5  g to  about  1 m^  Repeat  treatment  when  required. 

• Around  utility  poles,  treat  1.25  m around  each  pole,  250  g/pole. 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Do  not  use  near  lawns  or  flower  beds.  • Do  not  apply  closer  than  1.5  times  the  height  of  nearby 
trees.  • Do  not  apply  on  slopes  where  water  erosion  may  carry  chemical  onto  areas  of  desirable  vegetation.  • Do  not 
contaminate  water  used  for  irrigation  or  other  domestic  uses. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Systemic  action,  enters  plant  via  roots. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Vegetation  turns  brown  and  dies.  No  new  growth  will  appear,  resulting  in  bare  ground.  Rapidity  an 
duration  of  control  will  depend  upon  amount  of  chemical  applied,  soil  type  and  environmental  conditions.  Poor  results  m, 
be  expected  if:  Inadequate  application  rate.  Soil  erosion  removes  chemical  from  treated  area  when  applied  on  slopes. 
Insufficient  rainfall  to  activate  chemical. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Moisture  will  activate  and  carry  the  herbicide  into  the  root  zone. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Once  fixed  in  the  soil  there  is  very  little  lateral  movement.  Pellets  can  be  carried  by  erosion. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Use  on  non-crop  areas  only. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = bromacil  (5,200);  2,4-D  (375).  Slightly  t( 
to  fish.  Non-toxic  to  birds. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  to  avoid  exposure  to  dust.  IF  IN  EYES  or 
SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).

7.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Wild  oat  seedlings  produce  a new  leaf  every  5 days  and  under  good  growing  conditions  reach  the  2 
i leaf  stage  4-9  days  after  emergence.  Degree  of  control  is  dependent  upon  uniformity  of  emergence  of  wild  oats.  • For 
! Carbyne+ Avenge,  allow  4 days  between  application  and  use  of  esters  of  bromoxynil;  2,4-D;  or  MCPA.  No  restrictions  on 
using  other  pesticides  after  Carbyne.  • Crop  damage  may  occur  if  sprayed  within  24  hours  of  frost.  • Do  not  make  a second 
application  on  grain  crops. 

3.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Partially  systemic,  penetrates  leaf  and  stern  surfaces  of  the  wild  oat  plant,  interfering  with  cell  division. 

p.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Wild  oat  growth  stops  and  leaves  turn  blue-green  within  7-10  days.  A swelling  of  the  stem  at  ground 
level  may  occur.  Leaf  tips  turn  brown,  the  plant  becomes  brittle,  dying  3-4  weeks  after  treatment. 

).  EFFECT  OF  RAINFALL:  Do  not  apply  when  the  crop  is  wet  with  dew  or  rain.  Rainfall  within  15  minutes  after  application  may 
decrease  control. 

I.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Barban  is  fairly  immobile  in  the  soil.  In  most  soils  only  trace  amounts  of  barban  are  present  within  3 
I weeks  of  application. 

i!.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Drift:  The  hazard  is  low,  however,  common  oats,  buckwheat  and  rye  can  be 
seriously  affected.  Grazing  Restrictions:  Do  not  graze,  cut  for  forage,  or  feed  crop  for  5 weeks  after  treatment.  Do  not 
I feed  the  lower  8 cm  of  pea  vines  to  livestock. 

1.  TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (2,750).  Some  people  have  been 
j sensitized  by  iong-term  exposure  to  this  product.  Very  toxic  to  fish. 

|.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first 
I . aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce  vomiting.  Get  medical  attention. 

j.  STORAGE:  May  be  stored  at  freezing  temperatures  but  must  be  returned  to  its  original  state  by  warming  to  room 
j temperature  and  agitating  thoroughly.

WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  None. 

WHEN  USED:  For  best  results  apply  when  soil  temperatures  are  cool.  Annual  Weeds:  Apply  to  prepared  weed-free  soil 
either  in  early  spring  before  seeds  of  annuals  germinate  or  after  cultivation  has  removed  weeds.  Do  not  apply  until  4 we 
after  transplanting  tolerant  crops.  Perennial  Weeds:  Apply  in  fall  (October  15  until  soil  freeze-up)  on  crops  established  f 
at  least  1 year.  Quackgrass,  artemisia  in  established  woody  ornamentals  apply  in  fall  and  again  in  the  early  spring  befoi 
May  1.  Raspberries:  Apply  in  late  fall  but  before  soil  freeze-up.  Do  not  cultivate  or  work  into  the  soil.  Do  not  apply  in 
spring  as  injury  may  occur. 

HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Ground  granular  applicator. 

Rate:  Annual  weeds  - 45-70  kg/ac,  based  on  area  actually  treated. 

Quackgrass.  artemisia  in  woody  ornamentals  - 60  kg/ac  in  fall;  60  kg/ac  again  in  spring. 

Quackgrass,  thistles,  bindweed  in  woody  ornamentals  - 91-111  kg/ac. 

Raspberries  - 71  kg/ac. 

APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Do  not  use  on  light  sandy  soils  with  less  than  2%  organic  matter.  • Do  not  use  on  firs,  hemlock,  lilM 
spruce,  Mugho  pine  nor  on  herbaceous  perennials.  • Do  not  use  in  seed  beds,  transplant,  or  cutting  beds  or  in  greenhouH 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  Snow  melt  or  rain  moves  Casoron  into  the  soil.  Casoron  inhibits  germination  but  acts  primarily  on  grovJ 
points  and  root  tips.  I 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Growth  of  emerging  shoots  of  some  perennials  controlled.  Tolerant  crops  are  unaffected  if  roots  J 
not  come  in  contact  with  Casoron  in  the  upper  layers  of  the  soil.  I 

EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  If  it  is  dry,  poor  results  can  be  expected.  I 

MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Some  movement  in  coarse-textured  soils.  I 

GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  transplant  into  treated  soil  for  1 year.  Do  not  plant  vegetables  or  oth 
sensitive  crops  the  year  following  treatment.  Do  not  graze  livestock  in  treated  areas. 

TOXICITY:  Very  low  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (3,160).  Slightly  toxic  to  fish. 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  to  avoid  skin  and  eye  contact.  IF  IN  EYE 
ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).

22.7  kg  bags. 

2.  REGISTERED  MIXES:  None 

3.  CROPS:  Non-crop  areas;  where  long  term,  total  vegetation  control  is  desired. 

4.  WEEDS  CONTROLLED:  All  growth.  Annual  broadleaf  weeds  and  grasses.  Perennial  weeds. 

5.  WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  Not  applicable. 

6.  WHEN  USED:  In  early  spring  when  weeds  are  small,  up  to  15  cm  tall,  or  in  fall  when  weeds  are  dormant. 

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Shaker  can,  mechanical  spreader  or  knapsack  sprayer, 
j Rate:  Annual  weeds:  0.5-1  kg/ 10  m^  - for  dry  application  apply  when  rain  is  expected  or  water  in. 

Persistent  perennial  weeds:  1-2  kg/ 10  m^  - either  at  maturity  of  weed  or  on  damp  soil  in  spring.  Use  higher  rates  on 
deep  rooted  perennials. 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS: 

Limitations 

I • Do  not  apply  in  hot,  dry  weather. 

• To  avoid  fire  hazard  from  dead  and  dry  vegetation,  treat  when  weeds  are  small.  If  growth  is  well  advanced,  mow  and  rake 
i before  treatment. 

I ® Do  not  apply  on  or  near  desirable  plants  or  on  areas  into  which  their  roots  may  extend,  or  in  locations  where  the 

1 chemical  may  be  washed  or  moved  into  contact  with  their  roots. 

• Dried  chemical  residue  on  organic  matter  can  be  explosive. 

• Spray  solution  will  damage  leather. 

! 9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Kills  through  contact  action.  Persists  in  the  soil  and  provides  prolonged  control  of  germinating  seedlings 
and  regrowth  from  perennial  roots.  Length  of  control  depends  on:  species,  rate,  soil  type,  rainfall,  vegetation  cover,  and 
time  of  application. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Seedlings  are  controlled  quickly.  Slower  kill  on  perennial  weeds. 

li 

1 11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  will  move  the  chemical  into  the  soil  and  enhance  its  activity.  In  areas  of  high  rainfall  or 
I sandy  soils,  the  residual  effect  is  reduced  due  to  leaching. 

h2.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Limited. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Treated  area  will  be  rendered  more  or  less  unproductive  for  1 or  more  years. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (2,300-3,500).  May  cause  irritation  of  eyes, 
nose,  throat  and  skin. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  and  goggles.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use 
standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention. 

16.  STORAGE:  Store  in  cool,  dry  place.  Avoid  direct  contact  with  ground  or  concrete  floors  when  storing.

6.  WHEN  USED:  Coniferous  and  Deciduous  species:  When  leaves  are  fully  expanded  (spring-early  summer)  and  stop 
applications  at  least  3 weeks  prior  to  a change  of  leaf  colour  in  the  fall.  Broadieaf  weeds:  When  actively  growing, 
normally  between  May  and  July. 

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Aircraft  or  Ground  equipment.  Thorough  coverage  essential. 

Rate:  See  Weeds  Controlled,  Weeds  Suppressed.  Rates  vary  depending  on  species. 

Water  Volume:  Aircraft  - 35  L/ac  minimum.  Ground  - Turf  weeds:  45  L/ac;  Weeds;  45-90  L/ac;  Brush;  rate/ 1000  L of 
water. 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Thorough  coverage  of  weed  and  wetting  brush  to  the  point  of  runoff  is  essential  for  control.  • Brush 
and  trees  over  2 m should  be  cut  and  regrowth  sprayed.  • Do  not  use  on  bentgrass.  Do  not  rake,  mow,  or  water  turf  within 
24  hours  after  treatment.  • 2,4-D  Ester  tank  mix  may  improve  brush  control,  especially  under  drought  stress.  Tank  mix  with 
2,4-D  (Amine  or  Ester)  for  control  of  a broader  range  of  weeds.  • Avoid  spraying  if  temperatures  exceed  30°C  to  reduce 
risk  of  vapour  drift.  • Avoid  spraying  onto  soil  over  root  systems  of  desirable  trees  and  shrubs.  • Thoroughly  clean 
application  equipment  after  use. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Dicamba  is  a systemic  herbicide  that  is  absorbed  through  roots  or  leaves  and  translocated  in  most 
plants.  Disrupts  the  metabolic  and  growth  activities  in  the  plant. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS;  Excellent  control  of  brush  can  be  expected  within  a year  of  application.  Effect  on  broadieaf  weeds 
may  be  seen  in  10-14  days  with  twisting  and  bending  of  main  stem,  cupping  of  leaves,  increase  in  root  size  and  increase  ir 
fibrous  roots. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  4 hours  after  application  will  not  reduce  effectiveness. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Dicamba  is  more  subject  to  leaching  in  sandy  soils  than  in  clay  textured  soils.  During  the  growing 
season  the  half-life  of  dicamba  is  less  than  30  days. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Use  on  non-crop  areas  only. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = dicamba  DMA  salt  (2,600).  Low  toxicity  to  fish. 

50 

Non-toxic  to  bees. 


15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  to  reduce  exposure.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN 
- use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention 

16.  STORAGE:  Freezing  may  cause  crystalization  but  no  activity  is  lost  if  completely  resuspended.

WHEN  USED:  Coniferous  and  Deciduous  species:  When  leaves  are  fully  expanded  (spring-early  summer)  and  stop 
applications  at  least  3 weeks  prior  to  a change  of  leaf  colour  in  the  fall.  Broadleaf  weeds:  When  actively  growing, 
normally  between  May  and  July. 


HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Conventional  boom  sprayer,  handgun,  or  boomless  type  sprayer.  Thorough  coverage  essential. 

Rate:  See  Weeds  Controlled,  Weeds  Suppressed.  Rates  vary  depending  on  species. 

Water  Volume:  Turf  Weeds:  45  L/ac.  Broadleaf  weeds:  45-90  L/ac.  Brush:  rate/ 1000  L of  water,  applied  to  runoff. 


APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Thorough  coverage  of  weed  and  wetting  brush  to  the  point  of  runoff  is  essential  for  control.  • Brush 
and  trees  over  2 m should  be  cut  and  regrowth  sprayed.  • Do  not  use  on  bentgrass.  Do  not  rake,  mow,  or  water  turf  within 
24  hours  after  treatment.  • Avoid  applications  if  temperatures  exceed  30°C  to  reduce  risk  of  vapour  drift.  • Avoid 
applications  onto  soil  over  the  root  systems  of  desirable  trees  and  shrubs.  • Thoroughly  clean  application  equipment  after 
use. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  Dicamba  is  a systemic  herbicide  that  is  absorbed  through  roots  or  leaves  and  translocated  in  most 
plants.  Disrupts  the  metabolic  and  growth  activities  in  the  plant. 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Excellent  control  of  brush  can  be  expected  within  a year  of  application.  Effect  on  broadleaf  weeds 
may  be  seen  in  10-14  days  resulting  in  twisting  and  bending  of  the  main  stem,  cupping  of  leaves,  increase  in  root  size  and 
stimulation  of  fibrous  root  production. 

EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  4 hours  after  application  will  not  reduce  effectiveness. 


MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Dicamba:  more  subject  to  leaching  in  sandy  soils  than  in  clay  textured  soils.  During  the  growing 
season  the  half-life  of  dicamba  is  less  than  30  days.  2,4-D:  Leaching  does  not  pose  a problem. 

GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Use  on  non-crop  areas  only. 

TOXICITY:  Moderate  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = formulation  (2,500).  Low  toxicity  to  fish. 
Non-toxic  to  bees. 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  to  reduce  exposure.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN 
- use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention. 

STORAGE:  Freezing  may  cause  crystalization  but  no  activity  is  lost  if  completely  resuspended.

WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  Canada  thistle  (6.8),  sow-thistle,  cleavers. 

WHEN  USED:  Barley,  oats,  spring  wheat:  2-5  leaf  stage.  Winter  wheat:  apply  in  spring  when  wheat  is  15-25  cm  tall  or 
before  shot  blade  stage.  Best  results  will  be  obtained  on  hemp-nettle,  corn  spurry  and  cow  cockle  if  application  is  made  at 
the  2-3  leaf  stage  of  the  weeds. 

HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Aircraft  or  Ground  equipment. 

Rate:  510  mL/ac  ‘ 

Water  Volume:  Air  - 8 L/ac  minimum.  Ground  ■ 45  L/ac. 

Pressure:  Air  - not  above  200  kPa.  Ground  - 275  kPa. 

APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Best  under  good  growing  conditions  and  air  temperature  10-25°C.  • Avoid  application  when  crop  is 
under  stress  from  disease  or  adverse  environmental  conditions.  Do  not  spray  if  rain  is  expected  within  4 hours  of 
application.  Avoid  application  if  frost  or  severe  drop  in  night  temperature  is  forecast.  • To  prevent  drift  to  sensitive  crops, 
do  not  spray  if  temperatures  are  expected  to  exceed  30°C,  when  humidity  is  high,  or  fog  is  present.  • Crop  damage  can 
occur  if  the  chemical  is  applied  at  any  time  other  than  the  recommended  crop  stage.  • Shortening  of  straw  may  occur 
without  loss  in  yield. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  DyVel  is  a systemic  herbicide  that  is  absorbed  through  the  roots  and  leaves  and  translocated  readily. 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Twisting,  bending  of  main  stem  and  leaf  petioles,  cupping  of  leaves  or  increase  in  root  size 
occur  within  10-14  days.  Poor  results  may  be  expected  if:  It  rains  within  4 hours  of  application,  or  when  older  weeds  are 
sprayed,  or  if  less  than  recommended  water  volume  is  used. 


EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  4 hours  after  application  will  not  reduce  effectiveness. 

MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  At  recommended  rates,  very  little  movement  occurs. 

GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  graze  or  harvest  for  livestock  feed  prior  to  crop  maturity. 

TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = dicamba  (1,707-2,900),  MCPA  (700).  Non-toxic 
to  birds,  fish,  and  bees. 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  to  cut  down  on  exposure.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON 
SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  May  cause  some  swelling  to  eyes.  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce 
vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention. 


16.  STORAGE:  Protect  from  freezing  but  if  frozen  no  activity  is  lost  if  completely  resuspended.

recommended:  Pasture,  rangeland,  turf:  182  L/ac. 

Pressure:  Air:  235  kPa  or  less;  Ground  200-275  kPa. 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Recommendations  vary  from  label  to  label,  READ  LABEL  of  product  used.  • Do  not  use  on  sanfoii 
bentgrasses,  or  freshly  seeded  turf.  • Spray  during  warm  weather  when  the  weeds  are  young  and  growing  actively.  At  high 
temperatures  vapourization  of  more  volatile  esters  may  cause  injury  to  susceptible  plants. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  This  hormone  type  herbicide  causes  abnormal  growth,  and  affects  respiration,  food  reserves  and  cell 
division  in  broadleafed  plants.  Absorbed  primarily  by  leaves  and  stems  and  translocated  to  the  growing  tips  and  roots. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Susceptible  plants  become  malformed  before  they  die. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  A rain  free  period  of  2 hours  for  esters,  4 hours  for  amine  and  6 hours  for  salts  is  needed  after 
application. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Leaching  does  not  pose  a problem. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  graze  for  at  least  24  hours  after  treatment.  Tank  mixes:  Check  label  of 
other  product  for  grazing  restrictions. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Moderate  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = technical  (300-1,200).  Some  formulations

Incorporation:  Must  be  done  within  24  hours  of  application.  Second  incorporation  should  be  done  at  right  angles  to  the 
first  incorporation.  With  fall  application  it  is  preferred  that  both  incorporations  be  completed  in  the  fall.  Implements:  A 
tandem  disc,  discer,  or  field  (vibrashank)  cultivator  is  recommended.  Set  to  work  8-10  cm  deep.  Disc  implements  at  7- 1C 
km/hr;  cultivators  at  10-13  km/hr.  Do  not  use  a field  cultivator  to  incorporate  when  soil  is  crusted,  lumpy,  or  too  wet  for 
good  mixing.  A tandem  disc  gives  best  mixing  action  on  stubble. 

Pressure:  275  kPa. 

Nozzles:  Screens  16  mesh  or  coarser  for  the  filter  on  inlet  side  of  pump.  Screens  50  mesh  or  coarser  for  spraying. 

APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Do  not  apply  on  soils  with  more  than  2C  25%  straw  cover,  or  on  soils  with  greater  than  15%  organ 
matter,  or  on  peat  or  mulch  soil.  Do  not  apply  on  soils  subject  to  prolonged  periods  of  flooding  or  soils  in  poor  working 
conditions.  • Before  Applications:  Cultivate  to  destroy  existing  weeds.  On  stubble,  chop  and  thoroughly  mix  residues  int( 
the  soil.  To  avoid  concentrating  wild  oat  seeds  below  the  treated  layer,  do  NOT  plow  (moldboard)  land.  • Fall  applicatior 
should  be  followed  by  a light  spring  tillage  to  5-8  cm  prior  to  planting.  - 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  A pre-emergence  herbicide  which  kills  seedlings  as  they  germinate.  Inhibits  all  division  in  the  actively 
growing  points  of  the  root  and  shoot.  Does  not  control  established  weeds. 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Most  die  before  emerging.  Weeds  will  exhibit  swelling  of  the  coleoptile  region;  stubby,  thi 
primary  root  development  and  lack  of  secondary  roots.  Plants  die  from  lack  of  ability  to  obtain  moisture. 

EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  No  effect  once  incorporated  into  the  soil. 

MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  None. 

GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS;  None.  Crop  Use  After  Hail:  No  restriction.  Succeeding  Crops:  Will  not  harm 
typical  crops  if  used  as  directed.  As  a precaution,  very  sensitive  crops  such  as  sugar  beets  or  small-seeded  grasses  su 
as  timothy  or  canary  seed  should  not  be  grown  following  an  Edge  treated  crop.  Over  application  caused  by  overlapping, 
improper  calibration,  non-uniform  application,  may  reduce  stands  of  crops  grown  in  rotation. 

TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = (technical)  greater  than  5,000.  Direct 
contamination  of  any  body  of  water  may  kill  fish. 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  including  gloves  (NOT  leather  or  cloth).  IF 
EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  If  irritation  develops,  get  medical  attention.  IF 
SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Follow  with  300  mL  of  water  to  children  and  700  mL  to  adults  and  30-4( 
mL  of  activated  charcoal  in  100  mL  of  water.  Get  medical  attention.

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Damage  to  forage  legumes  (especially  to  established  alfalfa)  may  occur  and  increase  in  severity  the 
longer  treatment  is  delayed  beyond  stage  recommended.  • Do  not  spray  in  drought  conditions.  • Oats  are  sensitive  if 
treated  before  the  5 leaf  stage.  • For  better  wild  mustard  control  - tank  mix  Embutox  625  or  Cobutox  400  with  MCPA  salt 
for  use  on  seedling  alfalfa  and  bird’s-foot  trefoil  - some  crop  stunting  may  occur. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Susceptible  plants  convert  2,4-DB  to  2,4-D.  Certain  legumes  do  not  convert  it.  2,4-DB  is  translocated  to 
actively  growing  parts. 

l' 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds  should  die  within  2-3  weeks  of  treatment.  Smartweeds  seedlings  only  stunted. 

M.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  before  the  foliage  has  dried  from  the  spraying  may  decrease  activity. 

|12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Leaching  does  not  pose  a problem. 

■13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  No  grazing  restrictions  specified. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (1,960).  Toxic  to  fish.  Non-toxic  to  birds  and

Water  Volume:  45  L/ac  minimum. 

Incorporation:  Incorporate  immediately.  Second  incorporation  must  be  at  right  angles  to  the  first.  Power-driven  cultivation 
equipment,  set  to  cut  5-7.5  cm  deep.  Tandem,  one  way  discs,  set  to  cut  10-15  cm  and  operate  at  6. 5-9. 5 km/h  followed 
harrows.  Field  cultivators,  for  lighter  soils  in  good  tilth.  Use  3-4  rows  of  sweeps  spaced  no  wider  than  18  cm.  Cut  10-15 
cm  deep  at  9.5  km/h.  Pull  harrows  behind  cultivator. 

Pressure:  275  kPa 


APPLICATION  TIPS:  • For  use  on  mineral  soils  only.  • When  applying  Eptam  8-E  with  granular  fertilizer,  a minimum  of  81 
kg/ac  and  a maximum  of  324  kg/ac  of  fertilizer  is  required.  See  product  label  for  further  instructions.  • Fiax,  Special 
Instructions:  Seed  shallow,  less  than  3 cm,  into  a firm  seedbed.  Deep  seeding  reduces  stands. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  Taken  up  by  the  roots  and  shoots  of  a germinating  weed  where  it  disrupts  and  stops  further  growth. 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Absorbed  by  the  weed  shoot,  therefore,  most  affected  weeds  will  not  emerge.  Numerous 
chlorotic  and  bleached  shoots  may  be  visible  by  removing  the  top  few  inches  of  treated  soil.  Provides  effective  weed 
control  for  approximately  6-8  weeks.  Crops:  If  crpp  seedlings  are  weak,  some  injury  may  occur. 

EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Very  soluble  in  water  so  excessive  moisture  may  cause  leaching. 

MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Eptam  will  move  readily  in  the  soil. 

GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  No  grazing  or  cropping  restrictions  specified.  Harvest  Restriction:  Pre-harvest 
interval  (days)  after  treatment  - potatoes  (45).  Succeeding  Crops:  No  restrictions. 

TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = (1,600).  Very  toxic  to  fish.  Non-toxic  to  birds. 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  firs 
aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce  vomiting.  Get  medical  attention. 

STORAGE:  Heated  storage  not  required.  Store  away  from  seed  and  fertilizer.

APPLICATION  TIPS:  Proper  soil  coverage  and  immediate  and  adequate  soil  mixing  are  important. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  Absorbed  by  roots  and  shoots' of  a germinating  weed,  disrupts  and  stops  growth  and  causes  eventual 
death. 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Affected  weeds  do  not  emerge,  chlorotic  and  bleached  shoots  are  visible  by  removing  a 
layer  of  treated  soil.  Crops:  Weak  seedlings  may  be  injured.  Poor  resuits  may  be  expected  if:  Soils  are  wet,  cloddy  and 
trashy;  not  suitable  for  proper  application  or  incorporation. 

EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL;  Very  soluble  therefore,  excessive  moisture  may  cause  leaching. 

MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL;  Will  move  readily. 

GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  No  restrictions  on  grazing,  crop  use  after  hail  nor  on  succeeding  crops.  Danger 
from  drift  is  low.  Caution:  Excessive  incorporation  required  may  cause  erosion  on  some  soil. 

TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = (1,600).  ^ 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID;  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first

WHEN  USED:  Spring  seeded  crops  - 4 leaf  to  early  flag  leaf.  Fall  seeded  crops  - full  tillering  to  flag  leaf,  apply  only  in 
spring.  Early  spraying  of  stork’s  bill,  round-leaved  mallow  and  kochia  gives  good  control. 


HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Aircraft  or  Ground  equipment. 

Rate:  710  mL/ac 
Water  Volume:  20-80  L/ac 
Pressure:  275  kPa 

APPLICATION  TIPS:  Crops  under  stress  from  adverse  environmental  conditions  such  as  excess  moisture,  drought,  or 
disease  may  suffer  a further  setback  when  Estaprop  is  applied;  however,  the  crop  injury  that  may  occur  is  usually  offset  by 
weed  control  obtained. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  A systemic  herbicide  absorbed  by  leaf  and  stem. 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Twisting  and  curling  of  weeds  will  commence  2-10  days  after  application.  Growth  ceases,  eventually 
plants  turn  brown  and  die.  Poor  resuits  may  be  expected  if:  • Poor  coverage.  • Low  relative  humidity  during  and  after 
spraying. 

EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rain  within  3 or  4 hours  of  application  may  reduce  control. 

MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Leaching  does  not  pose  a problem. 

GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Drift  over  susceptible  crops  will  cause  injury. 


14.  TOXICITY:  Moderate  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = 2,4-D  (300-1000),  dichlorprop  (800).  Toxic 
to  bees. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Do  not  spray  on  foraging  bees.  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES 
or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce  vomiting.  Get  medical 
attention. 

16.  STORAGE:  May  be  stored  at  any  temperature.  Shake  well  after  storing  for  1 year  or  longer.

Incorporation:  Time:  1st  incorporation  within  24  hours,  second  incorporation  can  be  either  in  the  fall  or  spring.  Impiemen 
Use  a double  disc  or  light  duty  cultivator  plus  harrows.  Harrowing  does  not  provide  effective  incorporation  if  compacted  s( 
prevents  penetration  of  harrow  teeth  or  if  trash  accumulates  in  harrow  section  or  if  harrows  bounce. 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Calibrate  equipment  to  deliver  desired  amount  of  product.  • Use  only  a hoe-drill  or  a double  disc 

press  drill  to  seed  barley  or  wheat  into  a Fortress  treated  field.  • Do  not  apply  to  soil  with  less  than  2%  organic  matter  if 

is  to  be  seeded  to  wheat.  • Do  not  apply  Fortress  for  wheat  on  land  which  has  been  treated  with  trifluralin  since  June  1 o 

the  previous  year.  Seeding:  Flax,  mustard,  and  rapeseed  can  be  seeded  in  treated  layer.  • Barley  and  wheat  are  more 
sensitive  and  should  be  planted  6. 0-7. 5 cm.  Wheat  must  be  seeded  at  least  1.0  cm  below  the  treated  layer.  Do  not  seed 
deeper  than  7.5  cm.  • To  ensure  an  even  crop  stand,  increase  the  usual  seeding  rate  of  barley  and  wheat  by  10%.  • Seed 
into  warm,  moist  seedbed. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Absorbed  by  wild  oat  shoots  and  foxtail  roots  usually  resulting  in  death  before  emergence.  Under  dry 
conditions,  some  wild  oats  and  foxtail  may  emerge  before  being  killed. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Wild  oats  and  foxtail  die  before  they  emerge.  Weed  control  may  be  reduced  under 
conditions  of  prolonged,  cool  soil  temperatures  at  the  time  of  germination,  or  extreme  drought  in  spring.  Crops:  Thinning  ir 
barley  and  wheat  are  known  to  occur  under  conditions  of  heavy  rainfall  and/or  cold  weather  after  application  and  before 
crop  emergence.  In  most  cases  thinning  is  more  than  offset  by  tillering.  Some  thinning  may  be  noted  on  eroded  knolls. 
Poor  results  may  be  expected  if:  There  is  incomplete  incorporation  due  to  wet,  cloddy  soil  or  heavy  trash.  Very  dry  soil 
conditions  in  spring  or  prolonged  cool  soil  temperatures  at  time  of  germination.  Ridges  left  by  seeding  may  disrupt  the 
treated  layer  and  allow  escapes. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Moisture  is  required  for  activation.  Rainfall  of  at  least  1.5  cm  within  2 weeks  of  application,  in  th 
spring,  is  required  to  ensure  maximum  performance. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Negligible. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  No  grazing  restrictions  specified.  Succeeding  Crops:  Under  normal  conditions 
Fortress  carry  over  will  not  harm  crops  grown  in  rotation.  As  a precaution  domestic  oats,  sugar  beets,  creeping  red  fescu< 
and  small-seeded  grasses  such  as  timothy,  and  canary  seed  should  not  be  grown  in  rotation  following  a Fortress  treated 
crop. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = (greater  than  5,000).  May  cause  skin  and 
eye  irritation. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  to  avoid  getting  chemical  on  skin  or  in  eyes 
IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see 

page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention. 

16.  STORAGE:  Store  in  a dry  place.

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Application  made  to  annual  grasses  that  have  tillered  and  are  under  moisture  and/or  temperature 
stress  will  not  provide  accpetable  control.  • Apply  3 days  before  the  use  of  any  broadleaf  herbicide.  • Rhizomes  of 
quackgrass  should  be  thoroughly  fragmented  by  tillage  (disc  or  cultivator)  prior  to  application  to  obtain  effective  control. 
Crop  competition  generally  enhances  control  of  quackgrass.  • Do  not  cultivate  for  5 days  after  applying. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS;  Systemic,  readily  translocated. 

0.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds  will  cease  growth,  but  death  takes  several  weeks.

or  to  soils  saturated  with  water  or  during  periods  of  heavy  rainfall.  Weeds  - Best  results  when  less  than  10  cm  tall  and 
actively  growing. 

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY; 

With:  Ground  equipment.  Do  NOT  apply  by  air.  Chlorine  bleach  must  be  used  to  deactivate  Glean  when  cleaning 
equipment. 

Sprayer  Cleanup:  To  avoid  injury  to  susceptible  crops  such  as  canola  thoroughly  clean  sprayer  immediately  after  spraying: 

1.  Drain  and  flush  tank,  boom  and  hoses  with  clean  water  for  a minimum  of  10  minutes. 

2.  Fill  tank  with  clean  water,  add  0.5  L chlorine  bleach  (containing  5.25-6.0%  sodium  hypochlorite)  per  100  L of  water. 

Flush  through  boom  and  hoses,  allow  to  sit  for  15  minutes  with  agitation,  drain. 

3.  Repeat  step  2. 

4.  Nozzles  and  screens  should  be  removed  and  cleaned  separately.  To  remove  traces  of  chlorine  bleach,  rinse  tank 
thoroughly  with  clean  water  and  flush  through  hoses  and  boom. 

CAUTION:  Do  NOT  use  chlorine  bleach  with  ammonia.  All  traces  of  liquid  fertilizer  containing  ammonia  or  ammonium 
nitrate  or  ammonium  sulphate  must  be  removed  from  application  equipment  before  adding  chlorine  bleach  solution.  This  can 
be  done  effectively  by  rinsing  with  water,  failure  to  do  so  will  result  in  a release  of  a gas  with  a musty  chlorine  odor  which 
can  cause  eye,  nose,  throat  and  lung  irritation.  Do  NOT  clean  equipment  in  an  enclosed  area. 

Rate:  See  tables. 

Water  Volume:  Flat  fan  nozzles  - 25  L/ac  minimum;  flooding  fan  nozzles  - 91  L/ac.  Non-crop  area  - 40  L/ac  minimum;

does  not  control  green  or  yellow  foxtail.  • Do  not  use  on  soils  above  pH  7.5.  Do  not  apply  to  irrigated  land.  • Do  not 
exceed  a total  of  12  g/ac  within  a 12  month  period  on  crop  land.  • Clean  equipment  thoroughly  after  using  Glean  or  Glean 
mixes. 

. HOW  IT  WORKS:  Absorbed  by  foliage  and  roots.  Inhibits  cell  division.  Under  certain  conditions  such  as  heat,  stress,  or 
heavy  rainfall  immediately  after  treatment,  temporary  discolouration  of  crop  may  occur. 

. EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Growth  stops  almost  immediately.  After  7-10  days  yellowing  or  purpling  will  occur  followed 
by  complete  desiccation.  Glean  remains  active  in  soil  throughout  the  growing  season  controlling  later  germinating  weeds. 
Poor  results  may  be  expected  if:  Improper  mixing,  timing,  coverage  or  when  weeds  are  under  drought  stress. 

. EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Heavy  rainfall  immediately  after  application  may  cause  temporary  lightening  of  crop. 

. MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Movement  is  restricted  by  fine  textured  soils,  soil  organic  matter  and  neutral  to  acidic  conditions. 

. GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Grazing  Restrictions:  None.  Drift:  Use  extreme  care  to  prevent  drift  onto 
desirable  plants  or  non-target  agricultural  land. 

Succeeding  Crops:  Recropping  to  barley,  oats,  wheat.

Herbicides 


Herbicides 


GRAMOXONE  (paraquat) 

Chipman 

1.  FORMULATIONS:  Solution;  200  g/L;  1,  4 X 5 L pack. 

2.  REGISTERED  MIXES:  None.  Chemical  Mowing  of  Non-Crop  Areas:  May  be  tank  mixed  with  certain  soil  sterilants  where 
immediate  top  kill  and  long-term  sterilization  are  required. 

3.  CROPS:  Asparagus,  non-crop  areas,  potatoes,  shelterbelts,  stale  seedbed  (vegetables,  field  crops),  sugar  beets. 

4.  WEEDS  CONTROLLED:  All  top  growth.  Generally  kills  annuals  in  1 application.  Repeat  applications  may  be  needed  on 
perennials. 

5.  WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  Most  perennial  weeds. 

6.  WHEN  USED:  Prior  to  crop  emergence,  but  soon  after  weeds  emerge.  Potatoes:  Apply  up  to  ground  crack  only  for  Nettec 
Gem  and  Cherokee.  Other  varieties  apply  up  until  the  first  potato  tops  are  5-8  cm.  Do  not  apply  to  emerged  potato  foliac 
in  evening,  or  when  potatoes  are  under  moisture  stress  due  to  extremely  dry  soil  conditions,  or  to  early  potatoes.  Stale 
Seedbed:  Do  not  apply  later  than  3 days  before  crop  emergence. 

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Ground  equipment  only.  Do  not  use  mist  blowers. 

Rate:  Chemical  Mowing:  1.1  L in  220-445  L/ac  of  water.  Non-Crop  Areas:  2. 2-4. 5 L in  220-445  L/ac  of  water. 

Potatoes:  Quackgrass,  annual  grasses  and  broadleaf  weeds  - 1-1.75  L in  120-220  L/ac  of  water;  emerged  seedlings 
thereof  - only  610  mL  in  120-220  L/ac  of  water.  NOTE:  Application  to  exposed  or  emerged  potato  foliage  will  cause 
temporary  injury  and  chlorosis.  Use  of  poor  or  diseased  seed  and  cut  seed  with  1 eye  will  make  potatoes  more  susceptil 
to  injury  by  post-emergence  sprays.  Will  not  control  weeds  that  germinate  after  treatment. 

Shelterbelts:  2.2  L in  445  L of  water/ac  or  75  mL  in  10  L of  water/ 100  m^  550  mL  of  this  mixture  will  treat  an  area  1.7i 
m in  diameter  around  a tree.  Keep  chemical  off  the  foliage  of  trees. 

Stale  Seedbed  Technique  (Vegetables,  Field  Crops):  Beans  (all  types),  beets,  carrots,  cole  crops,  corn,  cucumbers, 
onions,  peas,  potatoes,  soybeans,  turnips.  Prepare  a seedbed  at  least  2-4  weeks  before  seeding  to  stimulate  weed  grow 
Seed  with  minimum  soil  disturbance.  Burn-off  of  emerged  weeds  - 1.1-2. 2 L in  120-445  L of  water/ac  before  or  after 
seeding.  Weeds  above  5 cm  tall  - 2.2  L/ac. 

Water  Volume:  120-445  L/ac.  Thoroughly  wet  all  foliage.  For  dense  weed  growth  use  the  greater  volume  of  water. 
Incorporation:  Not  applicable 
Pressure:  300  kPa 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Use  only  clean  water  to  avoid  reduction  in  effectiveness.  • Use  high  volume,  low  pressure  type 
spraying  equipment  to  thoroughly  cover  foliage.  Special  equipment  is  necessary  to  shield  some  row  crops  from  spray. 

• Applications  on  cloudy  days,  or  just  prior  to  or  during  periods  of  darkness  will  generally  increase  effectiveness  of  the 
treatment.  • Thoroughly  wash  equipment  after  spraying  - use  a wetting  agent  (Agral  90  at  60  mL/100  L of  water),  fli/sh  a 
spray  out,  then  thoroughly  rinse  with  clean  water.  Fill  with  clean  water  and  leave  overnight,  then  spray  out. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Absorbed  by  leaves  and  stems,  but  does  not  translocate. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Provides  immediate,  fast  and  virtually  complete  annual  weed  kill  from  1 application.  Repeat 
applications  may  be  necessary  for  perennial  weeds.  Yellowing  occurs  within  a few  hours  and  desiccation  of  the  plant 
continues  rapidly  until  death. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rain  prior  to  spray  solution  drying  on  plant,  or  muddy  water  will  reduce  effectiveness  of  the 
chemical.  Once  spray  solution  has  dried  on  plant  tissue,  rain  will  not  reduce  effectiveness. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Binds  to  the  soil  and  becomes  biologically  unavailable.  No  residual  effect. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Drift:  Prevent  drift  onto  crops,  ornamentals,  lawns,  grazing  areas,  or  other 
desirable  areas.  Grazing  Restrictions:  Not  applicable.  Crop  Use  After  Hail:  and  Succeeding  Crops:  No  restriction. 

14.  TOXICITY:  High  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = paraquat  ion  (120-150).  Symptoms  of  acute 
poisoning  may  occur.  May  be  fatal  if  swallowed. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii),  rubber  gloves,  approved  face  mask,  and  ej 
shield.  KEEP  OUT  OF  REACH  OF  CHILDREN  AND  ANIMALS.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures 
(see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  See  a doctor  immediately. 

16.  STORAGE:  Heated  storage  preferred.  Will  crystallize  if  frozen.  NEVER  transfer  to  other  containers.

5.  WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  Crop  Year:  Wild  buckwheat,  wild  oats. 

6.  WHEN  USED:  Apply  to  summerfallow  in  May,  June  and  July  for  weed  control  during  both  years  of  a summerfallow-wheat 
rotation.  Maximum  benefit  comes  when  applied  as  early  as  possible  in  the  fallow  year.  Also  see  Special  Use  below. 


7.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Ground  equipment  with  granular  applicator. 

Rate:  1-3%  Organic  Matter:  May  7.7  kg/ac,  June  6.5  kg/ac,  July  5.3  kg/ac. 

I 4-8%  Organic  Matter:  May  8.9  kg/ac,  June  7.7  kg/ac,  July  6.5  kg/ac.  Brown  Soil  Zones  Only. 

Incorporation:  If  green  growth  prevents  proper  mixing,  it  must  be  destroyed  before  application.  Apply  over  standing  or 
j pre-worked  stubble,  provided  straw  is  chopped  and  evenly  distributed.  Incorporate  within  24  hours  of  application  to  5-8  cm 

II  with  cultivator  (field  or  deep  tillage)  at  10-13  km/h  or  disc  at  7-10  km/h.  Second  incorporation  at  the  same  depth  and  right 
i angles  to  first.  Repeat  when  necessary  to  control  resistant  weeds  in  fallow  year.  Cultivation  with  a rodweeder  or  shallow 

tillage  cultivator  may  be  required.  Do  not  cultivate  when  soil  is  crusted,  lumpy  or  too  wet  for  good  mixing  action.  Working 
deeper  than  8 cm  can  result  in  erratic  weed  control  and  crop  injury. 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Do  not  apply  on  soils  subject  to  prolonged  flooding,  sandy  soils  with  less  than  1%  organic  matter, 
soils  with  more  than  8%  organic  matter,  soils  in  poor  working  condition.  Application  to  severly  eroded  knolls  may  result  in 
reduced  crop  stands.  • In  the  fall,  prior  to  application,  spread  straw  evenly  over  field  and  leave  stubble  standing  to  trap 
snow.  For  maximum  effectiveness  apply  in  May.  • After  filling  granular  applicator,  close  lid  quickly  to  avoid  exposure  to 
direct  sunlight.  • In  crop  year,  after  application  and  when  soil  is  warm  enough  for  good  germination,  prepare  seedbed  with 
field  cultivator  set  at  5 cm  deep.  Seed  into  a weed-free  seedbed,  3-6  cm  deep,  using  double  disc  or  hoe  drill.  Separate 

, spring  tillage  may  not  be  necessary  with  a discer  or  airseeder.  Pack  or  harrow  after  seeding.  • Drought  conditions  in  fallow 

I year,  prior  to  seeding,  may  result  in  higher  carry  over  of  Heritage  at  seeding  time.  To  reduce  possible  injury  by  carry  over, 

seeding  to  the  correct  depth  (3-6  cm)  is  critical. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Seedlings  are  killed  during  germination  by  inhibited  cell  division  at  active  growing  points.  This  results  in 
puffy,  brittle,  slow  growing  shoots  and  swollen  brittle  root  tips.  Established  weeds  are  not  controlled. 

;10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  After  first  incorporation,  susceptible  weeds  are  partially  controlled.  After  second  operation, 
susceptible  weeds  are  controlled  before  emergence.  Crop:  No  injury  to  wheat,  after  summerfallow.  Over-application  caused 
by  overlapping,  improper  calibration,  non-uniform  application,  etc.  may  reduce  crop  stand,  delay  development  or  reduce 
yields. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  No  effect  once  incorporated  into  the  soil. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  None. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  None. 

|14.  TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = technical  (10,000).  Non-toxic  to  bees.  Very 
toxic  to  fish.  Large  amounts  of  Heritage  can  be  tolerated  by  fish  in  runoff  or  muddy  water  because  it  binds  to  suspended 
soil. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  to  reduce  exposure.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN 
- use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention. 

16.  STORAGE:  Store  in  areas  not  exposed  to  high  temperatures,  prolonged  direct  sunlight  or  moisture. 

SPECIAL  USE:  Wheat  [Durum,  spring  (including  semi-dwarf)]  ONLY  - Fall  application  ONLY.  (September  1 to  soil 
freeze-up). 

Weeds  Controlled:  Green  Foxtail. 

Incorporation:  (as  above)  First  incorporation  within  24  hours  of  application,  5-8  cm  deep.  Second  incorporation  at  same 
depth  and  right  angles  to  first,  in  the  fall  at  least  3 days  later  or  in  the  spring  during  seedbed  preparation. 

Rate:  4.5  kg/ac.

REGISTERED  MIXES:  Decis  - barley  (except  Betzes,  Klages),  flax,  wheat.  MCPA  (Amine  or  Ester)(only  28  mL/ac)  - barley 
(except  Betzes,  Klages),  spring  rye,  triticale,  wheat.  CAUTION:  Do  not  exceed,  under  any  circumstances,  the  recommended 
amount  of  MCPA  as  a severe  reduction  in  grassy  weed  control  will  result. 

CROPS:  Barley  (8.4)(except  Betzes,  Klages),  flax  (7.6),  rye  (spring),  triticale,  wheat  [Durum,  spring  (8.7)].  Underseeding: 
Do  not  treat  crops  underseeded  to  legumes.

pigweed,  redroot  (8.8) 
smartweed,  green  (8.8)

thistle,  Russian  (8.9) 


WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  None 

WHEN  USED:  WEEDS  - Barnyard  grass,  foxtail,  wild  oats:  1-4  leaf.  Persian  darnel:  1-3  leaf.  Volunteer  Corn:  15-25  cm. 
Broadleaf  weeds:  seedling  - early  4 leaf.  Russian  Thistle:  seedling  - 5 cm  tall.  CROPS  - Barley  (except  Betzes,  Klages): 
1-4  leaf  and  prior  to  tillering.  Application  beyond  the  4 leaf  stage  or  after  tillering  will  result  in  crop  damage.  Flax:  5-10  cm 
tall.  Do  not  spray  during  high  heat  or  humidity  stress  as  it  may  cause  leaf  burn,  retarded  growth  and  a slight  maturity 
delay.  Wheat:  No  leaf  stage  restriction. 

HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Ground  equipment  only.  Do  not  apply  by  air. 

Rate:  1.4  L/ac 
Water  Volume:  45  L/ac 
Pressure:  275  kPa. 

Nozzles:  Only  flat  fan  nozzles  recommended,  tilt  45°  forward  to  ensure  better  coverage. 

APPLICATION  TIPS:  • For  best  results  and  maximum  yield  enhancement,  apply  when  majority  of  weeds  are  in  the  2-3  leaf 
stage.  • During  periods  of  stress  (heat,  drought  or  low  humidity)  reduced  weed  control  may  result.  • Hoe-Grass  II  must  be 
applied  at  least  4 days  before  the  use  of  any  other  herbicide  to  eliminate  a reduction  of  control. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  Diclofop-methyl  possesses  contact  as  well  as  systemic  action.  Uptake  is  primarily  through  the  leaves. 

The  site  of  action  is  the  growing  point.  Bromoxynil  is  primarily  a contact  herbicide  with  limited  translocation  in  susceptible 
annual  broadleaf  weeds. 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Yellowing  of  susceptible  plants  are  visible  within  2-4  days.  New  leaf  growth  exhibits  light  chlorosis 
which  deepens  and  browning  develops  within  10-14  days  of  application.  Photosynthesis  and  growth  are  inhibited  and 
uptake  of  water  and  nutrients  ceases.  Lack  of  adequate  crown  root  development  is  1 of  the  most  distinguishable  features 
of  diclofop-methyl  activity.  Bromoxynil  activity  , is  evident  within  24  hours  as  necrotic  spots  appear  on  the  leaves  of 
susceptible  broadleaf  weeds.  This  damage  spreads  rapidly  until  the  plants  ultimately  die.  Chlorosis  may  develop  in  the 
untreated  leaves  of  these  susceptible  weeds  even  though  very  little  movement  of  the  bromoxynil  occurs. 

Precautions:  Barley  - Under  certain  environmental  conditions,  yellow  blotches  may  appear  on  the  barley  leaves.  These 
blotches  will  be  rapidly  outgrown  and  will  not  affect  maturity  or  yield. 

EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  within  1 hour  will  decrease  activity. 

MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Some  movement  may  occur  if  sufficient  moisture  is  present. 

GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Drift:  Avoid  treatment  near  susceptible  crops.  Grazing  Restrictions:  Do  not 
graze  treated  field  prior  to  harvest.  Do  not  use  treated  field  for  green  forage.  Do  not  apply  Hoe-Grass  II  within  60  days  of 
harvest.  Succeeding  Crops:  No  restriction. 

TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = (2,350).  Eye  irritant.  Toxic  to  fish. 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  plus  goggles  to  reduce  eye  exposure.  IF  IN 
EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce  vomiting  but  rush 
person  to  nearest  hospital. 

STORAGE:  Do  not  store  below  freezing.  If  stored  for  1 year  or  longer,  shake  well  before  using.

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Aircraft  or  Ground  equipment.  Do  not  use  controlled  droplet  application  equipment. 

Rate:  1.0-1.13  L/ac. 

Beans,  carrots,  fababeans,  onions,  potatoes,  soybeans,  sugar  beets:  1.4  L/ac. 

Wild  oats  in  4-5  leaf  stage:  1.13  L/ac. 

When  tank  mixing:  1.13  L/ac,  except  with  Decis  1.0-1.13  L/ac. 

Water  Volume:  Air  - 14  L/ac  minimum.  Ground  - 45  L/ac 
Pressure:  Air  - 300  kPa,  Ground  - 275  kPa. 

Nozzles:  Only  flat  fan  recommended,  tilt  45°  forward  to  ensure  better  coverage. 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Do  not  use  on  Betzes  and  Klages  barley.  • When  tank  mixing  with  bromoxynil  do  not  delay  Hoe-Grass 
284  application  if  grassy  weed  is  in  correct  stage.  Reduced  control  can  be  expected  if  Hoe-Grass  284  is  applied  to  weeds 
growing  under  stress.  Control  may  be  further  reduced  if  tank  mixed.  • Apply  at  least  4 days  before  any  broadleaf  herbicide, 
except  bromoxynil  products,  to  eliminate  a reduced  grass  kill  from  Hoe-Grass  284.  Not  recommended  to  apply  Hoe-Grass 
284  after  a broadleaf  herbicide.  • During  prolonged  drought,  excessively  high  daytime  temperatures  (28°C),  or  low  humidity; 
better  grassy  weed  control  will  be  achieved  with  Hoe-Grass  284  alone  than  if  tank  mixed. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Contact  as  well  as  systemic  action.  Uptake  primarily  through  leaves  and  translocated  to  growing  point. 
Penetration  and  uptake  via  roots  may  occur  if  soil  is  sufficiently  moist  and  the  rate  of  application  is  relatively  high. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Yellowing  of  susceptible  plants  is  noticeable  within  2-4  days  of  application.  New  leaf  growth  exhibits 
light  chlorosis  which  deepens  and  browning  develops  10-14  days  after  application.  Photosynthesis  and  growth  are  inhibited 
and  uptake  of  water  and  nutrients  ceases.  Lack  of  adequate  crown  root  development  is  evident  on  wild  oats  as  well  as  in 
some  sensitive  barley  varieties. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  within  1 hour  will  decrease  activity. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Some  movement  in  soil  if  sufficient  moisture  is  present. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Drift:  Danger  from  drift  is  low.  Grazing  Restrictions:  Do  not  graze  treated  green 
crop.  Do  not  apply  within  60  days  of  harvest.  Succeeding  Crops:  No  restriction. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (2,235).  Toxic  to  fish.  Non-toxic  to  birds. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Highly  corrosive,  protect  eyes  and  skin.  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  and 
goggles.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce 
vomiting.  Get  medical  attention  immediately. 

16.  STORAGE:  Do  not  store  below  freezing.  If  stored  1 year  or  longer,  shake  well  before  using.

jugs. 

2.  REGISTERED  MIXES:  None.  Mixing  instructions:  Hyvar  X - Weigh  out  proper  amount  of  Hyvar  X and  mix  into  necessary 
volume  of  water  (minimum  20  L/kg  of  Hyvar  X).  Agitate  continuously  by  mechanical  or  hydraulic  means. 

3.  CROPS:  Non-crop  areas  only.  Total  vegetation  control. 

4.  WEEDS  CONTROLLED:  A non-selective,  total  vegetation  control  chemical  for  weeds,  grasses  and  some  brush. 

5.  WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  Not  applicable 

I 

6.  WHEN  USED:  Just  before  or  during  the  period  of  active  growth  of  weeds.  Do  not  apply  when  ground  is  frozen.  Brush:  AppI 
in  spring  or  summer  as  a basal  (spot)  treatment. 

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

Hyvar  X-L 

With:  Power  sprayer.  Handguns,  backpack  sprayers  or  a watering  can  may  be  used  to  treat  small  areas. 

Rate:  initiai  Treatment:  Apply  12-18  L/ac.  Higher  dosage  on  soils  containing  5%  or  more  organic  matter,  or  soils  high  in 
clay  content.  Retreatment  of  Regrowth:  7-9  L/ac.  Smaii  Areas:  450  mL/100  m^  Brush  Controi:  Spot  Treatment  Undilutec 
- At  8 mL/m  of  tree  height  up  to  3 m.  Four  or  five  8 mL  deposits  around  the  root  collar  for  brush  taller  than  3 m with  a 
spot  gun.  Spot  Treatment  Diluted  - mix  1 L in  5 L of  water,  apply  in  55  mL  deposits  with  a spot  gun. 

Hyvar  X 

With:  Same  as  Hyvar  X-L,  except  more  efficient  agitation  of  the  spray  solution  is  required. 

Rate:  initiai  Treatment:  3-5  kg/ac.  Use  the  higher  dosage  on  soils  containing  5%  or  more  organic  matter,  or  soils  high  in 
clay  content.  Retreatment  of  regrowth:  1.5-2. 7 kg/ac.  Smaii  areas:  135  g/100  m^  Brush  Controi:  Mix  870  g Hyvar  X in 
10  L of  water  and  apply  30-60  mL/stem  5-10  cm  in  basal  diameter.  Wet  base  of  stem  to  point  of  runoff. 

Water  Volume:  100-1000  L/ac.  Use  enough  water  to  uniformly  cover  the  area  to  be  treated.  Hyvar  X-L:  With  a handgun 
apply  650  L of  spray  solution /ac.  Hyvar  X:  Minimum  of  20  L of  water /kg  of  Hyvar  X. 

Nozzles:  Screens  should  be  50  mesh  or  larger. 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS;  • Weed  Controi:  If  dense  growth  is  present,  results  will  be  improved  if  vegetation  is  removed  before 
treatment.  • Do  not  apply  to  slopes  as  soil  erosion  may  occur.  • Do  not  apply  to  brush  standing  in  water,  lawns,  walks, 
driveways,  tennis  courts,  or  similar  areas.  • Applying,  draining  or  flushing  equipment  too  near  feeding  roots  of  susceptible 
vegetation  may  cause  injury.  • Thoroughly  clean  all  traces  of  Hyvar  from  application  equipment  immediately  after  use. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Hyvar  X is  readily  absorbted  through  the  roots  but  much  less  readily  through  the  leaves.  Once  in  the  plan 
it  inhibits  photosynthesis.  Caution:  Do  not  apply  closer  than  1.5  times  the  height  of  desirable  vegetation. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Susceptible  plants  become  chlorotic  and  then  die.  Vegetation  kill  is  faster  with  higher  rainfall. 

Degree  and  duration  of  control  depends  on  amount  of  chemical  applied,  soil  type,  rainfall,  and  other  conditions.  Brush:  final 
kill  may  not  take  place  until  the  year  following  treatment.  Poor  resuits  may  be  expected  if:  Weed  growth  too  mature  or  if 
there  is  insufficient  rainfall. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL;  Rainfall  will  carry  the  chemical  into  the  root  zone  where  it  is  absorbed. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Movement  in  soil  is  dependent  upon  soil  type  and  soil  moisture.  Bromacil  will  move  faster  in  a vertica 
direction  in  sandy  soils  than  in  soils  high  in  organic  matter  or  clay  content.  Movement  can  be  severe  on  slopes. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Drift:  All  crops  and  ornamentals  may  be  injured  by  chemical  drift.  Do  not  apply 
in  areas  subject  to  severe  soil  erosion. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = (5,200).  Toxic  to  fish. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Hyvar  X-L  is  combustible.  While  applying  undiluted  product,  do  not  smoke  and  keep  away  from 
heat  and  open  flame.  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid 
measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention. 

16.  STORAGE:  Hyvar  X - Store  in  a cool  dry  place.  Hyvar  X-L  - Combustible,  keep  away  from  heat  or  open  flame.  Do  not 
allow  to  freeze.

KARMEX  (diuron) 

DuPont 


1.  FORMULATIONS;  Wettable  Powder;  80%;  2 kg,  25  kg  packs. 

2.  REGISTERED  MIXES:  None.  Mixing  instructions:  Agitate  continuously  by  mechanical  or  hydraulic  means. 

3.  CROPS:  Asparagus:  irrigation  and  drainage  ditches,  ponds,  dug-outs  and  spot  treatment  for  general  weed  control.  Non-crop 
areas. 

4.  WEEDS  CONTROLLED:  Broadleaf  and  grassy  weed  seedlings. 

5.  WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  Not  applicable 

6.  WHEN  USED:  May  be  used  at  any  time,  except  when  the  ground  is  frozen.  Best  results  obtained  when  applied  shortly 
before  weed  growth  begins.  Dense  weed  growth  should  be  removed  first  then  treatment  applied.  Sufficient  rainfall  or 
irrigation  is  necessary  following  treatment  to  carry  the  chemical  to  the  root  zone.  Asparagus  (estabiished)  - No  earlier 
than  4 weeks  before  spear  emergence  and  no  later  than  the  early  cutting  period,  irrigation  and  Drainage  Ditches  - Before 
expected  seasonal  rainfall,  if  possible  when  soil  in  the  ditch  is  still  moist.  Apply  during  the  non-crop  season  when  the  ditch 
is  not  in  use. 

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Field  sprayer,  hand  sprayer,  back-pack  or  sprinkling  can. 

Rate:  Generai  Weed  Controi:  Sandy  or  sandy  loam  soils  5.8-11  kg/ac.  Clays  or  high  organic  soils  16-22  kg/ac.  Use  the 
lower  rate  when  annual  weed  growth  predominates  and  where  only  one  season’s  control  is  desired.  Retreatment  of 
Regrowth:  Annuals  and  seedlings  500  g/ac.  irrigation  and  Drainage  Ditches:  250-750  g/100  m^  or  9.3-27  kg/ac.  Flush 
once  before  using  for  irrigation  purposes.  Karmex  must  be  fixed  in  the  soil  by  moisture  to  minimize  movement  in  irrigation 
water.  Spot  Treatment:  Couch  grass,  toadflax  0.75-1.0  kg/ 100  m^  Smaii  Areas:  50  g/10  m^  is  equal  to  20.2  kg/ac. 

Water  Volume:  Use  100-160  L of  water/ acre  to  provide  thorough,  uniform  coverage. 

Nozzles:  Screens  should  be  50  mesh  or  larger. 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Do  not  use  on  sand,  loamy  sand,  or  gravelly  soils  with  less  than  1%  organic  matter.  • Spray  booms 
must  be  shut  off  while  starting,  turning,  slowing,  or  stopping  as  injury  to  the  crop  may  result.  • Do  not  apply  to  newly 
seeded  asparagus  or  to  young  plants  during  the  first  growing  season  after  setting  or  on  plants  with  exposed  roots  as 
severe  injury  may  result.  • Do  not  apply  to  slopes  as  soli  erosion  may  occur.  • Applying,  draining  or  flushing  equipment 
too  near  feeding  roots  of  susceptible  vegetation  may  cause  injury.  • Do  not  use  on  lawns,  walks,  driveways,  tennis  courts, 
or  similar  areas.  • Thoroughly  clean  all  traces  of  Karmex  from  application  equipment  after  use. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Diuron  is  readily  absorbed  through  the  root  system  and  less  readily  absorbed  through  stem  and  foliage. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Susceptible  plants  become  chlorotic  soon  after  treatment  and  then  die.  Degree  of  control  and 
duration  of  effect  will  vary  with  the  amount  of  chemical  applied,  soil  type,  rainfall,  and  other  conditions.  Regrowth  of 
plantain,  thistle,  or  wild  carrot  will  indicate  that  retreatment  is  necessary.  Poor  controi  may  be  expected  if:  Inadequate 
rate  or  weeds  too  old  or  insufficient  rainfall. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL;  Rainfall  will  activate  the  chemical,  carrying  it  into  the  root  zone. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Diuron  absorbs  readily  to  the  soil  and  there  is  little  movement  by  leaching. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS;  Drift:  All  crops  and  ornamentals  may  be  injured  by  chemical  drift.  Succeeding 
Crops:  Do  not  replant  treated  areas  to  any  crop  within  2 years  after  last  treatment  as  injury  to  subsequent  crops  may 
result. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (3,400).  Non-toxic  to  birds  and  fish. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first 
aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi). 

16.  STORAGE:  Store  in  a cool  dry  place.

1 6.  WHEN  USED:  Barley:  2-3  leaf  stage.  Corn:  Overall  spray  prior  to  15  cm  height  of  corn,  use  drop  nozzles  after  15  cm 
height.  Oats:  3-4  leaf  stage.  Roadsides:  Spring  when  weeds  are  in  2-5  leaf  stage  and  growing  actively.  Wheat  (spring): 
3-5  leaf  stage.  Wheat  (winter):  In  spring  before  crop  is  30  cm  high. 

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

|!  With:  Ground  equipment. 

Rate:  Barley:  340  mL/ac.  Corn  (sweet),  oats,  wheat  (spring,  winter):  340-445  mL/ac.  Roadsides:  1.3  L/ac.  Stubble, 

I Summerfallow:  445-710  mL/ac.  TANK  MIX:  Kil-Mor  345-445  mL/ac  + (Aatrex  Liquid  - 910  mL/ac  OR  Aatrex  Nine-0  - 506 
g/ac.) 

Water  Volume:  40  L/ac  for  cereals;  80-140  L/ac  for  corn. 

; Pressure:  275  kPa 

: 8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Barley  is  the  most  sensitive  crop  to  Kil-Mor.  Ensure  that  proper  rate,  water  volume  and  timing  are 
used,  otherwise,  crop  injury  may  occur.  Risk  of  crop  injury  increases  as  water  volume  drops  below  36  L/ac.  • Do  not  apply 
when  temperatures  exceed  27°C  and  relative  humidity  is  very  high. 

I 9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Accummulates  in  the  growing  points  resulting  in  abnormal  growth  which  disrupts  the  transport  system  in 
plants. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Visible  effects  occur  7-14  days  after  spraying.  Leaves  curl,  leaf  petioles  twist,  leaf  edges 
turn  brown,  the  whole  plant  ceases  growth,  eventually  turns  brown,  and  dies.  Crop:  Improper  applications  can  result  in 

: abnormal  bending  at  the  internodes  of  grain  stalks,  difficulty  in  head  emergence  from  sheath,  curled  awns,  malformed 

kernels,  and  sterile  florets.  Poor  results  may  be  expected  if:  Inadequate  coverage.  Rainfall  less  than  4 hours  after 
application.  Weeds  overmature. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Do  not  spray  if  rain  is  expected  within  4 hours. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  2,4-D /mecoprop:  Readily  mobile  in  the  soil.  Dicamba:  Relatively  mobile;  mobility  affected  by 
capillary  movement  and/or  surface  evaporation.  Concentration  and  location  in  the  soil  profile  will  be  determined  by  total 
seasonal  precipitation,  its  frequency,  and  original  herbicide  dosage. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Drift:  Tomatoes,  sugar  beets,  sunflowers,  beans,  turnips,  cauliflower,  cabbage, 
ornamentals  and  fruit  crops  are  very  sensitive  to  drift.  Grazing  Restrictions:  Do  not  feed  treated  crop  to  livestock  until  7 
days  after  application.  Crop  Use  After  Hail:  No  restrictions.  Succeeding  Crops:  No  restrictions. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = 2,4-D  (300-1,200);  mecoprop  (930);  dicamba 
(2,629);  Kil-mor  (1,000).  Non-toxic  to  fish.  Toxic  to  bees. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  to  reduce  exposure.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN 
- use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention.

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Absorbed  by  leaves,  stems  and  buds.  Restricts  bud  development  the  following  spring. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Injury  may  not  be  observed  until  the  following  spring,  particularly  if  minimum  rates  are  used  or  if  coc 
temperatures  prevail  when  spraying  is  done.  Plants  will  fail  to  develop  leaves  and  subsequently  die. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  within  24  hours  of  application  may  reduce  effectiveness. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Little  downward  movement  as  Krenite  readily  adsorbs  to  soil  colloids. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  graze  on  land  treated  with  Krenite. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = (24,000).  Non-toxic  to  birds  and  fish. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  firs] 
aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention. 

16.  STORAGE:  Store  in  a cool  dry  place.

KROVAR  I (bromacil  + diuron) 

DuPont 


1.  FORMULATIONS:  Wettable  Powder;  40%  bromacil  + 40%  diuron;  2 kg,  25  kg  bags. 

2.  REGISTERED  MIXES:  None.  Mixing  instructions:  Weigh  out  the  proper  amount  of  Krovar  and  mix  into  necessary  volume  of 
water  (minimum  20  L water/kg  of  Krovar).  Agitate  continuously  by  mechanical  or  hydraulic  means.  Do  not  use  air  agitation. 

p.  CROPS:  Non-crop  areas  only.  Total  vegetation  control. 

i 4.  WEEDS  CONTROLLED:  Most  annual  and  perennial  weeds  and  grasses. 

5.  WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  Not  applicable 

6.  WHEN  USED:  Before  weeds  emerge  or  when  actively  growing.  Remove  dense  growth  before  treatment.  Do  not  apply  when 
ground  is  frozen.  Sufficient  moisture  is  required  to  carry  the  chemical  to  the  root  zone  of  the  weeds. 

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Boom  sprayer,  handgun,  back  pack,  or  sprinkling  can. 

Rate: 

Generai  Weed  Controi:  5. 3-7. 3 kg/ac.  Use  higher  rates  on  soils  containing  5%  or  more  organic  matter  or  soils  high  in  clay 
i content.  Use  5.5  kg/ac  on  sandy  or  sandy  loam  soils  only. 

j,  Retreatment  of  Regrowth:  2.75-3.6  kg/ac  when  annual  weeds  reappear  on  previously  treated  sites. 

, Smaii  Areas:  180  g/100  m^  approximately  7.3  kg/ac. 

' Water  Volume:  20  L water  (minimum)/kg  of  Krovar  I.  100-1000  L/ac.  Use  enough  water  to  uniformly  cover  area  to  be 
treated. 

Nozzles:  Screens  should  be  50  mesh  or  larger. 

j8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Applying,  draining  or  flushing  equipment  too  near  feeding  roots  of  susceptible  vegetation  may  cause 
I injury.  • Do  not  use  on  lawns,  walks,  driveways,  tennis  courts,  or  similar  areas.  • Do  not  apply  to  slopes  as  soli  erosion 
may  occur.  • Thoroughly  clean  all  traces  of  Krovar  I from  application  equipment  immediately  after  use. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Readily  absorbed  through  the  roots,  leaves  and  stems. 

0.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Plants  become  chlorotic  and  then  die.  The  degree  of  control  and  duration  of  effect  will  vary  with  the 
amount  of  chemical  applied,  soil  type,  rainfall,  and  other  factors.  Poor  resuits  occur  if:  Weeds  are  too  mature  or 
insufficient  rainfall. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  will  leach  the  chemical  into  the  root  zone. 

1 2.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Movement  in  soil  is  faster  with  heavier  rainfall.  Do  not  use  in  areas  subject  to  soil  erosion. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Drift:  All  crops  and  ornamentals  may  be  injured  by  chemical  drift.  Succeeding 
i Crops:  Krovar  I is  a non-selective  residual  herbicide.  It  should  only  be  used  on  non-crop  areas  where  bare  ground  is 

desired. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = bromacil  (5,200),  diuron  (3,400).  Non-toxic 
to  birds.  Toxic  to  fish. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first 
aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi). 

16.  STORAGE:  Store  in  a cool,  dry  place.

Water  Volume:  80-160  L/ac 
Pressure:  275-400  kPa 

Nozzles:  Flat  fan  or  cone  type  only  recommended. 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Best  results  if  weeds  are  young  and  actively  growing.  • Do  not  apply  where  runoff  erosion  is  likely  t( 
occur.  • Do  not  apply  if  crop  is  under  stress  from  prolonged  cold  weather,  poor  fertility  or  when  crop  is  wet  and  succulent] 
from  recent  rainfall  as  crop  injury  may  occur. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Both  bentazon  and  atrazine  are  contact  herbicides  interfering  with  photosynthesis. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Turn  yellow,  then  brown,  usually  within  2 weeks.  Crops:  Occassionally  show  light  leaf 
speckling.  Poor  results  may  occur  if:  Weeds  are  too  mature,  failure  to  penetrate  crop  canopy  or  under  conditions  of 
prolonged  cool  weather  or  drought. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Within  6-8  hours  may  reduce  activity. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Very  little,  except  in  sandy  soil  and  with  excessive  moisture. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Grazing  Restrictions:  Treated  plants  can  be  used  for  silage.  Succeeding 
Crops:  On  very  light  soils  with  low  organic  matter  some  atrazine  may  carry  over  and  injure  susceptible  crops. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (3,000). 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  firs]

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Allow  4-5  day  interval  before  or  after  application  of  wild  oat  herbicides.  • If  frost  occurs,  allow  4-5 
day  interval  for  crop  to  recover  before  applying  Lexone.  • Crop  must  be  planted  at  least  5 cm  deep. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  A systemic  herbicide  absorbed  by  foliage  and  roots.  Affected  plants  become  chlorotic  and  stunted.  Dea 
usually  occurs  10-14  days  after  treatment.  Because  Lexone  leaves  a residue  in  the  soil,  control  of  shallow  germinating 
weeds  (eg.  chickweed)  occurs  throughout  the  growing  season. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Should  start  to  yellow  within  7-10  days  after  treatment.  Crop:  Temporary  (7-10  days) 
lightening  in  colour  and  occasionally  a slight  reduction  in  height  may  occur,  especially  if  frost  or  abnormally  high 
temperatures  occur  within  1-2  days  of  application.  Injury  to  barley  can  occur  if  there  is  shading  for  12  hours  after  sprayinc 
Thus  avoid  late  evening  or  cloudy  day  applications.  Poor  results  may  be  expected  if:  It  rains  immediately  after  applicatic 
or  weeds  are  under  stress  or  too  mature. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Do  not  spray  if  rain  is  expected  within  2 hours.  Peas:  Weed  control  may  be  reduced  if  rain  falls 
within  6 hours  after  spraying.  Heavy  rainfall  immediately  after  application  may  decrease  activity. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Readily  leached  in  sandy  soils  low  in  organic  matter.  Little  leaching  occurs  in  soils  with  high  organic 
matter. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  apply  within  60  days  of  harvest.  Peas  (field)  - do  not  apply  within  70 
days  of  harvest.  Grazing  Restrictions:  Do  not  graze  or  feed  to  livestock  within  30  days  of  application.  Peas  (field)  - do 
not  graze  or  feed  treated  crop  until  70  days  after  application.  Succeeding  Crops:  Canola,  celery,  cole  crops,  cucurbits, 
lettuce,  onions,  peppers,  spinach,  sugar  beets,  sunflowers,  table  beets,  and  turnips  may  be  injured  if  planted  in  Lexone 
treated  soil  both  during  year  of  application  and  the  following  crop  year.  Fall  seeded  or  cover  crops  such  as  oats  and  rye 
may  be  injured  if  seeded  during  the  same  season  as  Lexone  treatment. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (1,100-2,300).  Slightly  toxic  to  fish  and 
birds.  Non-toxic  to  bees. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  and  goggles.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use 
standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention. 

16.  STORAGE:  Lexone  DF  - Cool  dry  place.  Lexone  L - warm  storage  preferred.  If  frozen  ensure  material  has  been  thoroughi 
resuspended. 

NOTE:  A similar  product,  Sencor  (page  80),  has  additional  registrations  as  follows:  Crops  - Alfalfa,  Klondike  barley,  lentils 
triazine  tolerant  canola.  Weeds  - Common  groundsel,  henbit,  night-flowering  catchfly,  Russian  thistle,  wormseed  mustard.

REGISTERED  MIXES:  Hoe-Grass  284,  Roast. 

CROPS;  Polish  and  Argentine  varieties  of  rapeseed  (including  canola)(8.6).  Underseeding:  Not  recommended  for  forage 
legumes. 


WEEDS  CONTROLLED: 

buckwheat,  wild  (6.1)  chamomile,  scentless  thistle,  Canada  (8.3) 

WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  Canada  thistle  (top  control  only  at  lowest  Lontrel  rate),  perennial  sow-thistle  (7.0)(top  control  only). 


WHEN  USED;  Rapeseed  (canola)  3-6  leaf.  Canada  thistle  rosette  to  pre-bud  stage  and  actively  growing. 

HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Ground  equipment.

Buckwheat,  Canada  thistle  (season-long  control  and  suppression  into  following  season),  600 

perennial  sow-thistle  (top  growth  control),  scentless  chamomile. 

Water  Volume:  40-80  L/ac  o 
Pressure:  200-275  kPa 
Nozzles:  Flat  fan  nozzles  preferred. 

APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Make  sure  the  sprayer  tank  has  been  thoroughly  cleaned  before  Lontrel  is  mixed  in  the  tank.  Trace 
contamination  from  2,4-D;  MCPA;  or  similar  herbicides  will  result  in  damage  to  rapeseed.  • Treat  during  warm  weather  when 
weeds  are  actively  growing.  • Best  results  are  obtained  when  Canada  thistle  are  actively  growing  and  soil  moisture  is 
adequate  for  rapid  growth.  Under  dry  or  poor  growing  conditions,  control  of  Canada  thistle  may  be  severely  reduced. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  Absorbed  by  leaf  and  stem  surfaces  and  readily  translocated.  Maximum  efficacy  results  from  foliar 
application  to  young  actively  growing  plants. 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Growth  will  first  slow  then  cease.  Death  of  weed  may  not  occur  until  14-21  days  after  treatment. 

With  the  lowest  rate  on  Canada  thistle  some  regrowth  may  occur  by  the  end  of  the  season  but  this  will  not  interfere  with 
harvesting  of  crop. 

EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  A rain  free  period  of  4-6  hours  is  required. 

MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Clopyralid  is  somewhat  soluble  in  water,  but  is  generally  not  mobile  in  soil  under  typical  prairie 
conditions. 

GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Drift:  Small  amounts  of  drift  may  damage  broadleaf  plants.  Succeeding  Crops: 
Fields  previously  treated  with  Lontrel  can  be  seeded  to  barley,  flax,  oats,  rapeseed,  rye,  wheat,  or  can  be  sijmmerfallowed 
the  year  after  treatment.  Do  not  seed  to  crops  other  than  those  listed  above,  the  year  after  treatment.  For  more  cropping 
and  use  information,  contact  Dow  at  1-800-661-6436.  Grazing  Restrictions:  None. 

TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  ==  greater  than  5,000  mg/kg.  Acute  oral  LD  bees  = 
greater  than  100  ug/bee.  Extremely  low  toxicity  to  fish. 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID;  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  to  reduce  exposure.  Rubber  gloves  and 
goggles  should  be  worn  when  handling  concentrated  formulation.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures 
(see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention. 

STORAGE:  Store  away  from  food,  feedstuffs,  fertilizer,  seeds,  insecticides,  fungicides,  or  other  pesticides.  Store  in  heated 
storage.  If  frozen,  warm  to  room  temperature  and  mix  thoroughly  before  use.

Incorporation:  Not  applicable 
Pressure:  275  kPa 

Nozzles:  Flat  fan  recommended.  50  mesh  line  strainers  and  screens. 


APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Do  not  use  on  sandy  or  coarse-textured  soils,  low  in  organic  matter,  as  crop  injury  may  result. 
• Do  not  use  when  crops  are  under  drought  stress.  • Fruit  trees  - avoid  contact  with  fruit,  foliage,  and  green  bark  with 
spray  or  drift  as  injury  may  result. 


HOW  IT  WORKS:  A systemic  herbicide  absorbed  by  leaves  and  roots.  Yellowing  (chlorosis),  stunting  and  finally  death 
occurs  10-14  days  after  treatment. 


EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Yellowing  starts  7-10  days  after  application.  Effect  greatest  under  excellent  growing 
conditions.  Weed  control  will  vary  depending  on  species,  time  of  application  and  growing  conditions.  Crop:  A slight 
yellowing  of  crop  and  leaf  tip  and  leaf  margin  burn  may  be  seen  7-10  days  after  application.  Crop  recovers  within  14-18 
days.  Crop  injury  can  occur  if  applied  during  period  of  high  heat. 


11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Heavy  rainfall  within  2 hours  may  decrease  activity.  Pre-emergent  treatment  requires  rainfall  or 
, irrigation  for  activation.  Carrots,  corn,  or  potatoes  may  be  severely  injured  if  unusually  heavy  rains  follow  application. 


12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Movement  by  leaching  is  least  in  soils  high  in  clay  and/or  organic  matter;  greatest  in  sand. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  apply  post-emergent  corn  treatment  within  60  days  of  harvest.  25%  carry 
over  into  next  growing  season  if  rates  are  1.8  L/ac  or  higher.  Do  not  feed  or  graze  green  material.  Succeeding  Crops:  Do 

i not  follow  corn,  treated  with  Lorox  L-f  Atrazine  80W,  with  sugar  beets  or  vegetables. 


14.  TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = technical  (4,000).  Very  toxic  to  fish.  Non-toxic 
I to  bees. 

;15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first 
aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention. 

16.  STORAGE:  Lorox  L - Store  in  a heated  area.  Do  not  freeze  as  settling  may  occur.  If  frozen,  thoroughly  mix  to  resuspend. 
NOTE:  A similar  product,  Afolan  F (page  4),  has  additional  registrations  as  follows:  Crops  - Celery,  dill,  parsnips.  Weeds  - 
Corn  spurry,  dandelion,  fall  panicum,  groundsel,  kochia,  perennial  sow-thistle  (seedling),  plantain  (seedling),  prostrate

WEEDS  CONTROLLED:  Wild  oats  (8.0) 

WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  None 

WHEN  USED:  3 leaf  to  shot  blade  stage  of  wild  oats.  Wild  oats  at  2 leaf  stage  and  younger  may  escape  control  and  may 
grow  to  maturity.  Do  not  apply  beyond  6 leaf  stage  of  the  crop.  Apply  tank  mix  when  wild  oats  in  3-4  leaf  stage. 

HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Aircraft  or  Ground  equipment.  Do  not  apply  Mataven  L + Glean  by  air. 

Rate:  2 L/ac.  Forage  Grasses:  2. 0-3.0  L/ac.  High  rate  without  a companion  crop;  low  rate  with  companion  crop  for  which 
Mataven  L is  registered.  Sunfiowers:  2. 0-2. 6 L/ac.  Tank  Mix:  Mataven  L 2.0  L/ac  + Glean  6-12  g/ac. 

Water  Volume:  Aircraft  - 8 L/ac  minimum;  Ground  - 40  L/ac. 

Pressure:  Ground  300  kPa. 


APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Best  results  will  be  obtained  when  the  majority  of  wild  oats  are  at  the  3-4  leaf  stage,  but  before  the 
flag  leaf  stage.  • Allow  4-day  interval  between  the  application  of  Mataven  L and  the  use  of  MCPA,  bromoxynil,  or 
bromoxynil  + MCPA;  and  an  interval  of  7 days  with  the  use  of  2,4-D  or  dicamba  formulations.  • The  40  L/ac  spray  volume 
will  provide  better  control  of  wild  oats,  especially  where  there  is  a heavy  crop  canopy  or  dense  growth  of  wild  oats. 

• Direct  spray  pattern  45°  forward  to  enhance  spray  penetration.  • Agitation  required  to  re-emulsify  spray  if  allowed  to  stanc 
for  several  hours. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  A systemic,  absorbed  through  leaves  and  translocated  to  the  growing  point.  Cell  elongation  is  inhibited 
and  cell  initiation  and  division  is  impaired.  Wild  oats  are  unable  to  compete  with  the  crop  because  of  stunting  or  death. 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Initially  a dark  blue-green  colour  appears  10  days  after  spraying  then  the  wild  oats  turn  yellow  and 
brown.  Wild  oats  in  the  1-2  leaf  stage  at  application  may  often  appear  controlled  but  may  escape  and  grow  to  maturity. 

Will  be  small,  stunted  plants  with  few  shrivelled  seeds. 

EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  within  2 hours  of  application  will  reduce  effectiveness. 

MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Half-life  of  1-2  weeks  in  sandy  loam,  clay,  and  medium  loam;  2-3  weeks  in  peat  soil. 

GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Drift:  Drift  potential  is  low.  Oats  would  be  the  most  seriously  affected  crop. 
Grazing  Restrictions:  Do  not  graze  treated  areas.  Do  not  graze  or  harvest  for  forage  in  the  year  of  treatment.  Crop  Use 
After  Haii:  Do  not  graze  or  feed  to  livestock.  Succeeding  Crops:  No  restrictions. 


TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = technical  (1210),  Mataven  L (3,900).  Eye 
irritant.  Non-toxic  to  bees. 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  plus  goggles  when  handling  this  product.  IF 
IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce  vomiting.  Get 
medical  attention. 


STORAGE:  Heated  storage  only.

Salt);  Pasture,  rangeland,  turf  - 180  L/ac. 

Pressure:  Air:  235  kPa  or  less;  Ground:  200-275  kPa 

J.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Recommendations  vary  from  iabei  to  iabei,  READ  LABEL  of  product  used.  • Do  not  spray  when  air 
temperature  is  above  27°C.  • Extremely  hard  water  may  reduce  performance  or  cause  problems  in  spraying  the  product. 

• Do  not  use  on  bentgrasses. 

).  HOW  IT  WORKS:  A systemic,  absorbed  by  leaf  and  stem  surfaces  and  translocated  to  the  actively  growing  regions.  MCPA 
disrupts  cell  division,  causing  abnormal  growth  response,  thereby  affecting  respiration  and  food  reserves. 

).  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Weeds  start  to  twist  between  2-20  days  after  spraying,  depending  on  weather  conditions, 
formulation  and  weeds.  Following  the  twisting  and  bending,  plants  will  turn  brown  and  then  die.  Only  emerged  weeds  will  be 
1 controlled.  Crops:  Yellowing  and  thinning  of  the  crop  may  be  noticed  if  higher  than  recommended  rates  are  used.  Poor 
results  may  occur  if:  Extremely  hard  water  is  used.  Incorrect  rate  of  MCPA  is  used  in  tank  mixes. 

I.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rain  within  2 hours  of  application  will  decrease  activity. 

MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Readily  leached  from  soil.  Longer  residual  in  dry  soil. 

3.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Drift:  Danger  from  drift  with  amine  and  salts  is  lower  than  from  esters.  Grazing 
. Restrictions:  Do  not  graze  dairy  cattle  within  7 days  after  spraying. 

I.  TOXICITY:  Moderate  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = technical  (700-880).  Low  toxicity  to  fish. 

5.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xvni)  to  reduce  exposure.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN 
! - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SALT  AND  AMINE  FORMULATIONS  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting 
(see  page  xxi).  IF  ESTER  FORMULATIONS  SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce  vomiting.  Get  medical  attention  in  all  cases. 

5.  STORAGE:  If  frozen,  warm  to  5°C  and  mix  well  before  using.

6.  WHEN  USED:  Crop:  3 leaf  to  early  flag  leaf.  IVeeds:  2-4  leaf  and  mature  plants. 

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Ground  equipment 

Rate:  Cereals  - 2. 2-2. 8 L/ac.  Lawns,  turf  - 2. 2-3.4  L/ac.  Low  rate  for  seedling  weeds.  High  rate  for  mature  weeds. 
Water  Volume:  Cereals  - 80-120  L/ac.  Lawns,  turf  - 80-160  L/ac. 

Pressure:  300  kPa 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Recommended  water  volume  is  essential  for  optimum  weed  control. 

• Cold  weather  and  drought  may  cause  a delay  in  weed  control  action. 

• Do  not  spray  bentgrass  when  temperatures  are  above  27 °C,  particularly  if  high  rates  are  used. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  A systemic,  which  disrupts  the  plant’s  translocation  system  causing  the  accumulation  of  plant  food  in  the 
shoots  and  subsequent  starvation  of  the  roots. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Leaf  curling  and  stem  twisting  should  be  visible  within  4-5  days  after  spraying.  Weeds 
should  be  dead  within  3-4  weeks  of  application.  Crop:  Deformed  heads,  missing  florets,  and  twisted  awns  could  result  if 
recommendations  are  not  followed  or  if  crop  is  under  stress  conditions. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rain  within  4-6  hours  will  reduce  effectiveness. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Readily  leached  from  soils.  Longer  residual  in  dry  soil. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  graze  within  14  days  of  application.  Drift:  Danger  of  vapor  drift  is  low. 
Crop  Use  After  Haii:  No  restrictions  if  14  days  after  application.  Succeeding  Crops:  No  restrictions. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (1,060). 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  to  reduce  exposure.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKI^

i.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Treat  when  weedy  grasses  are  actively  growing,  there  is  good  soil  moisture  and  crop  is  small  enough 
to  permit  thorough  spray  coverage.  • If  annual  grass  weeds  and  broadleaf  weeds  are  not  in  the  correct  stages  for 
treatment,  apply  separate  applications  of  each  herbicide.  • Control  of  grasses  growing  under  drought,  flooding  or  prolonged 
cool  temperatures  under  15°C,  may  be  reduced  or  delayed.  Escapes  or  re-tillering  may  occur  under  prolonged  stress 
conditions.  DO  NOT  APPLY  ON  GRASSES  STRESSED  LONGER  THAN  20  DAYS  DUE  TO  LACK  OF  MOISTURE  AS 
UNSATISFACTORY  CONTROL  WILL  RESULT.  • Do  not  apply  where  runoff  or  erosion  is  likely.  • In  wide  row  crops  the 
quackgrass  treatment  should  be  followed  by  a cultivation  after  a minimum  of  7 days.  • Allow  4 days  between  application  of 
Poast  and  any  other  chemical.  • Ammonium  sulphate  is  corrosive  to  metal.  Do  not  allow  mixtures  to  stand.  • Thoroughly 
clean  sprayer  after  use  by  flushing  with  water  and  detergent. 

}.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Absorbed  by  foliage  and  translocated  to  the  growing  points.  Inhibits  certain  vital  metabolic  processes  in 
these  tissues. 

).  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds  stop  growing  immediately,  gradually  turn  brown  and  die  within  7-21  days. 

I.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  1 hour  after  application  may  reduce  effectiveness. 

>.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Relatively  immobile,  breaks  down  rapidly  in  soil. 

?.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  graze  treated  fields  or  harvest  for  feed  prior  to  crop  maturity. 
Succeeding  Crops:  No  restriction.  Spray  to  Harvest  Interval  (Days):  Cucumbers  (30);  garlic,  onions  (50);  snap  beans  (56); 
dry  peas,  flax,  tomatoes  (60);  lentils  (65);  canola  (70);  dry  beans,  potatoes,  soybeans  (80);  sugar  beets  (85). 

t.  TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = formulation  (2,500).  Causes  moderate  skin  and 

' eye  irritation.  Low  toxicity  to  birds,  fish  and  bees.  Hazards  to  the  environment  are  low  because  of  rapid  breakdown  in  soil. 

5.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  plus  goggles  and  gloves  to  reduce  skin  and 
eye  exposure.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention  immediately 
for  eyes.  IF  SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce  vomiting.  Get  immediate  medical  attention. 

STORAGE:  Store  product  in  a cool,  dry  place.  Freezing  will  not  reduce  effectiveness.

REGISTERED  MIXES:  Diuron-fsimazine;  paraquat;  simazine;  2,4-D.  Mixing  Instructions:  Continuous  gentle  mechanical 
agitation  is  preferred.  If  frothing  occurs,  add  approximately  500  mL  of  kerosene/ 1000  L of  spray  solution. 

CROPS:  Non-crop  areas  only. 

WEEDS  CONTROLLED:  Non-selective. 

WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  Horsetail,  milkweed. 


WHEN  USED:  April  and  May  OR  August  to  freeze-up. 

NOTE:  Spring  application  can  be  extended  into  June,  sometimes  July,  if  soil  moisture  is  plentiful,  or  paraquat  is  added.

Water  Volume:  220-890  L/ac  (50-100  L/100  m"). 

The  lower  volume  of  water  should  be  used  only  by  experienced  operators.  Use  the  higher  volume  where  established  or 
dead  vegetation  is  dense  or  obstructions  frequent. 

Pressure:  200-300  kPa. 

Nozzles:  Nozzle  screens  should  be  greater  than  50  mesh. 

APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Do  not  apply  to  areas  where  roots  of  desirable  species  extend.  • Some  weeds  such  as  horsetail  a 
milkweed  may  require  more  than  one  treatment  to  give  effective  control.  • If  soil  moisture  is  low,  control  of  dandelion  in  t 
Prairies  may  not  be  complete  until  the  following  year.  • Do  not  apply  to  slopes  as  soil  erosion  may  occur.  • Wash 
application  equipment  thoroughly  with  clean  water  to  remove  all  traces  of  Primatol. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  Primatol  is  taken  up  mainly  by  roots  and  to  a lesser  degree  through  foliage.  Residual  action  varies 
according  to  climate,  soil,  and  rate.  Normally  the  higher  rates  will  control  weeds  for  two  seasons  or  more  in  the  Prairies 
control  may  be  of  shorter  duration  in  wetter  areas. 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds  fail  to  emerge  or,  die  back  soon  after  emergence. 

EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Moderate  rainfall  can  enhance  performance.  Very  heavy  rainfall  on  sandy  soils  can  cause  leact 
and  thus  a decrease  in  efficacy.  Lack  of  precipitation  may  reduce  or  delay  the  effect. 

MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Low  solubility,  low  leachability,  but  there  may  be  some  physical  movement  on  sloping  ground. 
GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Use  on  non-crop  areas  only. 

TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = atrazine  (1,895-3,080),  Primatol  Liquid 
(1,075),  Primatol  Nine-0  (1,600).  May  cause  eye  irritation.  Non-toxic  to  fish  and  birds.  May  be  toxic  to  bees. 


PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Do  not  spray  on  foraging  bees.  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  including 
goggles.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  ( 
page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention. 

STORAGE:  In  a dry  location.

Rate:  Rival  500  EC:  485  mL/ac  on  light  to  medium  textured  soil.  650  mL/ac  on  heavy  textured  soil. 

Rival  10G:  Light  soils  (2-4%  Organic  Mattter-O.M.)  - 3.4  kg/ac;  Medium  or  heavy  soils  (4-6%  O.M.)  - 4.5  kg/ac.  Medium 
or  heavy  soils  (6-10%  O.M.)  - 5.7  kg/ac. 

Water  Volume:  40  L/ac 

Incorporation:  Rival  500  EC:  Incorporate  2-4  cm  with  2 cross  harrowings  with  tyne  or  diamond  harrows  operated  at  a 
minimum  of  9 km/h.  Both  incorporations  should  be  done  within  24  hours  of  application.  Rival  10G:  Both  incorporations 
should  be  done  in  the  fall  to  8-10  cm.  The  first  incorporation  within  24  hours  and  the  second  delayed  for  at  least  5 days 
for  more  effective  weed  control.  A shallow  tillage  in  the  spring,  prior  to  seeding,  is  required. 

Pressure:  275  kPa 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  Rival  500  EC:  • Apply  only  on  fields  that  are  trash  free  or  summerfallow  fields.  • Crop  must  be  seede 
5-8  cm  deep  in  a well  tilled  seedbed  to  prevent  contact  between  the  chemical  and  the  seed.  • Caution:  Crop  injury, 
delayed  maturity  or  reduced  yields,  may  occur  if  emerging  crops  are  weakened  from  factors  such  as  improper  seeding 
depth,  excessive  moisture,  cold  temperature,  seedling  disease,  poor  soil  fertility,  drought,  or  saline  soils.  • Rival  10G: 
WARNING:  Do  not  apply  to  soils  with  less  than  2%  O.M.  or  more  than  10%  O.M.  Seeding  should  be  done  into  a warm, 
moist  seedbed.  Avoid  seeding  in  cold  soil.  Caution:  Do  not  apply  to  soils  subject  to  erosion. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Acts  on  both  the  root  and  shoot  tips  as  they  emerge.  Prevents  cell  division  and  affected  plants  die 
before  emergence.  If  the  shoot  portion  of  the  plant  escapes  to  the  soil  surface,  lateral  or  secondary  root  growth  is 
inhibited  causing  a slow  death  since  the  plant  is  unable  to  gather  moisture  or  nutrients. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  RIVAL  500  EC:  Green  Foxtail:  Seeds  that  germinate  below  the  treated  layer  will  produce  plants  th 
will  emerge.  The  secondary  root  system  of  plants  that  form  within  the  treated  layer  is  completely  inhibited  by  trifluralin 
present  in  that  area.  The  affected  plant  dies  slowly  as  crop  competition  and  temperature  stress  over-tax  the  rootless 
plant’s  ability  to  take  up  moisture.  Crop:  Crop  safety  is  maintained  when  seeded  to  a depth  of  5-8  cm.  RIVAL  10G:  See 
Rival  (Oilseeds). 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  No  effect  once  incorporated  into  the  soil. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  None. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  None.  Crop  Use  After  Hail:  No  restrictions.  Succeeding  Crops:  See  Rival 
(Oilseeds). 

14.  TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (greater  than  5,000).  In  clean  water,  fish 
are  very  sensitive  to  trifluralin;  but  in  runoff  and  muddy  water,  trifluralin  binds  to  the  suspended  soil  particles  and  large 
amounts  can  be  tolerated  by  fish.  Non-toxic  to  bees. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  firs 
aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce  vomiting.  Get  medical  attention. 

16.  STORAGE:  Rival  500  EC:  If  stored  below  0°C,  bring  the  contents  to  15°C  for  24  hours  and  shake  well  before  using.  Do 

not  store  near  heat,  spark  or  open  flame.  Rival  10G:  Do  not  store  under  direct  sunlight.  Do  not  store  in  granular  applicate 
(maximum  24  hours).  I

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Do  not  apply  on  soils  that  are  wet  or  subject  to  flooding,  in  poor  tilth,  or  contain  more  than  15% 
organic  matter.  • A tandem  disc  mixes  best  on  stubble  or  crusted,  lumpy,  or  wet  soil.  • To  avoid  concentrating  wild  oat 
seeds  below  the  treated  layer,  do  not  plow  land  prior  to  trifluralin  application.  • Fall  or  summer  application  should  be 
followed  by  a light  spring  tillage  to  a 5-8  cm  depth  before  seeding.  Rival  500  EC:  • Use  on  soils  with  less  than  20-25% 
straw  cover.  • On  stubble,  chop  and  thoroughly  mix  residues  and  weed  growth  into  the  soil,  to  a depth  of  10-15  cm,  before 
application.  Flax,  lentils:  • To  ensure  a firm  seedbed  and  maintain  a constant  depth  of  planting,  a shallow  tillage  in  the 
spring  is  recommended.  Seed  into  a warm  (usually  after  mid  May),  moist,  firm  seedbed  to  a depth  of  2-4  cm. 

9.  HOW  IT  WOfRKS:  Kills  seedlings  as  they  germinate.  Inhibits  cell  division  in  the  actively  growing  points  of  root  and  shoot. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Most  weeds  die  before  emerging.  Weeds  will  exhibit  swelling  in  the  coleoptile  region, 
stubby,  thick  primary  root  development  and  lack  of  secondary  roots,  which  leads  to  death  due  to  inadequate  moisture 
obtaining  ability.  Crop:  Seed  flax  into  a well  packed  warm  moist  seedbed.  Do  not  seed  deeper  than  4 cm. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  No  effect  once  trifluralin  is  incorporated  into  the  soil. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  None. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  None.  Crop  Use  After  Hail:  No  restrictions.  Succeeding  Crops:  Normally, 
trifluralin  carry  over  will  not  harm  crops  grown  in  rotation.  As  a precaution,  oats,  sugar  beets,  creeping  red  fescue,  and 
small-seeded  grasses  such  as  timothy  and  canary  seed  should  not  follow  a trifluralin  treated  crop.  Alfalfa  and  most  clover? 
are  tolerant  to  trifluralin.  Drought  conditions  in  the  year  of  treatment  may  result  in  higher  levels  of  trifluralin  carry  over  into 
the  next  year.  To  avoid  wheat  injury,  seed  less  than  7 cm  deep  into  a warm,  moist  seedbed. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = (greater  than  5,000).  In  clean  water,  fish 
are  very  sensitive  to  trifluralin,  but  in  runoff  or  muddy  water,  it  binds  to  soil  particles  and  large  amounts  can  be  tolerated  b 
fish.  Non-toxic  to  bees. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  firsl 
aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce  vomiting.  Get  medical  attention. 

16.  STORAGE:  Do  not  store  below  0°C.  If  stored  below  0°C,  bring  the  contents  to  15°C  for  24  hours  and  shake  well  before 
using.  Do  not  store  near  heat,  spark  or  open  flame.

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY;  Do  not  use  galvanized  steel  or  unlined  steel  tanks. 

With:  Ground  equipment  only  - boom  equipment,  handgun,  high  volume  equipment,  wipers. 

Rate:  Annual  Weeds  (less  than  15  cm  tall):  910  mL/ac;  (over  15  cm  tall):  1.4  L/ac.  Bindweed  (field):  2. 8-4. 9 L/ac. 
Canada  thistle  (bud):  1.9-2. 8 L/ac;  (fall  rosette):  1.0  L/ac.  Milkweed  (common):  4.9  L/ac.  Quackgrass  (season  long): 
1.0  L/ac;  (long  term):  1.9-2. 8 L/ac.  Other  perennials:  2. 8-4. 9 L/ac.  Minimum  or  Zero  Till:  445  mL  + 350  mL  non-ionic 
surfactant.  Reduced  Rates  (Summerfallow):  300-400  mL/ac  + 350  mL  non-ionic  surfactant.  Brush;  1 L/100  L water. 
Water  Volume:  Handgun,  high  volume  (coarse  sprays  only)  - 80-120  L/ac.  Boom  - 40-120  L/ac. 

Chemical  fallow,  re^iuced  rates:  20-40  L/ac. 

Pressure:  275  kPa 

Nozzles:  Flat  fan  nozzles  for  volumes  20-40  L/ac  - flood  jet  type  or  flat  fan  for  volumes  above  40  L/ac. 


8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Tillage  or  mowing  prior  to  application  will  reduce  effectiveness  on  perennial  weeds.  Minimum  (days)  to 
wait  before  tillage  after  Roundup:  Annual  weeds  (3);  Spring  treatments,  quackgrass  (5);  Canada  thistle  (bud)(5),  rosette 
(10);  Bindweed,  milkweed,  other  perennials  (7).  Quackgrass:  Apply  4-6  weeks  after  swathing.  Sod-bound  quackgrass  may 
require  follow-up  treatment.  Frost  of  -5°C  will  be  tolerated  by  new  shoots.  Frost  damage  to  growing  shoots  could  reduce 
control  and  the  field  should  be  left  untilled  for  spring  treatment.  Frost  damage  is  evident  by  the  drying  of  new  shoots 
shortly  after  the  frost. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  A non-selective,  systemic  herbicide  which  moves  from  the  foliage  into  the  roots  and  kills  the  entire  plant. 

0.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Wilting  and  yellowing  of  annuals  occurs  within  2-4  days,  perennials  require  7-10  days.  Complete 
browning  of  above  ground  growth  and  deterioration  of  roots  occurs.  Cool  or  cloudy  weather  may  slow  activity. 

1.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  within  6 hours  may  reduce  effectiveness.  Heavy  rainfall  within  2 hours  after  application 
may  wash  the  chemical  off  foliage  and  require  retreatment. 

2.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  The  amount  of  glyphosate  leaching  is  very  low. 

3.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  graze  treated  areas  until  vegetation  turns  brown. 

4.  TOXICITY;  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = (4,320).  Eye  irritant.  Non-toxic  to  bees, 
birds,  fish. 

5.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  and  goggles  to  reduce  skin  and  eye 
exposure.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting 
(see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention.

REGISTERED  MIXES:  Chemical  fallow  - Banvel,  Glean,  ammonium  sulphate  (21-0-0-24).  Mix  Instructions:  Glean  Mix:  Add 
required  amount  of  clean  water  to  tank,  start  agitation,  ensure  Glean  is  completely  in  suspension  before  adding  Rustler. 
No  surfactant  required.  Continuous  agitation  is  necessary.  Ammonium  Sulphate  Mix:  Dissolve  in  a small  barrel  or  tank  of 
water  then  pour  the  slurry  through  a screen  into  the  spray  tank  (3  kg  ammonium  sulphate/ 100  L of  water;  3 % solution). 
Mix  Restrictions:  Do  not  mix,  store,  or  apply  this  product  or  spray  solutions  in  galvanized  steel  or  unlined  steel  (except 
stainless  steel). 

CROPS:  Chemical  fallow. 

WEEDS  CONTROLLED:

flixweed  lady’s-thumb  oats,  wild  thistle,  Russian 

foxtail,  green  lamb’s-quarters  pigweed,  redroot  stinkweed 

WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  Wild  barley. 

WHEN  USED:  Annual  broadieaf  weeds:  Up  to  15  cm  tall.  Barley  (wild),  foxtail  (green):  Before  initiation  of  seed  head  or 
browning  of  lower  leaves.  Oats  (wild):  1-3  leaf  stage. 

HOW  TO  APPLY: 

. o > ' c- ' . j : 

With:  Ground  equipment  only.  Avoid  galvanized  steel  or  unlined  steel  (except  stainless  steel)  spray  tanks. 

Rate:  Barley  (wild),  flixweed:  1.5  L/ac.  Annual  broadieaf  weeds,  foxtail  (green),  oats  (wild):  1.0  L/ac.  Higher  rate  when 
weeds  are  under  poor  growing  conditions  such  as  drought.  Rustler  Weeds  + Wild  buckwheat  - 120  mL/ac  Banvel  (480 
g/L  formulation)  + 1.5  L/ac  Rustler;  - 12  g/ac  Glean  + 1.0  L/ac  Rustler  (no  surfactant  required).  Wild  oats  (4  leaf  stag^ 
or  later)  - 3 kg  ammonium  sulphate/ 100  L spray  solution  (3%  solution). 

Water  Volume:  20-40  L/ac  clean  water.  Lower  water  volume  may  improve  results,  particularly  with  extremely  hard  water 
(greater  than  700  ppm  calcium  + magnesium). 

Pressure:  275  kPa. 

Nozzles:  Flat  fan  nozzles. 

APPLICATION  TIPS:  • For  best  control,  treat  winter  annual  weeds  (before  10  cm  tall)  with  2,4-D  or  Glean  in  the  fall  or  early 
spring  previous  to  the  fallow  season.  • No  more  than  12  g/ac  .of  Glean  should  be  applied  per  fallow  period.  • Rise  tank  an( 
lines  immediately  after  spraying  with  ammonium  sulphate  mix  to  prevent  corrosion.  • To  prevent  injury  to  desirable  crops 
clean  the  entire  sprayer  after  using  Rustler.  First,  add  clean  water  to  tank  and  thoroughly  rinse  the  entire  sprayer  system. 
Secondly,  fill  the  tank  with  water  and  ammonia  (1  L household  ammonia/ 100  L water).  Pump  enough  solution  through  the 
system  to  fill  all  parts  completely.  Then  fill  tank,  close  and  leave  for  24  hours  before  draining  and  rinsing  thoroughly  with 
water.  * 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  A post-emergent  herbicide.  Moves  from  foliage  into  roots  and  kills  entire  plant.  ^ 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Visual  effects  will  usually  appear  within  5-7  days.  Wilting  or  yellowing  of  weeds  advances  to 
complete  browning  of  above  ground  growth  and  deterioration  of  affected  underground  parts. 

EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Heavy  rainfall  within  2 hours  may  wash  the  chemical  off  the  foliage  and  repeat  treatment  may  be 
required.  Rainfall  within  6 hours  may  reduce  effectiveness. 

MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  The  amount  of  leaching  is  very  low. 

GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  graze  treated  areas  until  vegetation  turns  brown.  Succeeding  Crops:  Dc 
not  seed  a crop  in  a field  treated  with  Rustler  for  at  least  3 weeks  after  application. 

TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = glyphosate  (4,300);  2,4-D  (300-1,200).  Eye

WHEN  USED:  Cereals:  2 leaf  to  early  flag  leaf.  Winter  wheat,  fall  rye:  in  spring,  after  growth  begins  to  early  flag  leaf. 
Canary  seed:  3-5  leaf.  Flax:  5-10  cm  tall. 


HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Aircraft  or  Ground  equipment. 

I Rate:  315  mL/ac. 

Water  Volume:  Air;  8 L/ac  minimum.  16-20  L/ac  preferred.  Ground:  20  L/ac  minimum.  More  for  heavy  crop  canopy  or 
j dense  weed  growth. 

I Pressure:  275  kPa 
I Nozzles:  Flat  fan  recommended. 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Best  results  are  achieved  when  weeds  are  sprayed  in  seedling  stage,  with  good  spray  coverage. 

• Avoid  spraying  during  a severe  drought.  Under  conditions  of  high  temperature  and  humidity,  slight  discolouration  of  cereals 
' may  occur  but  no  effect  on  crop  yields.  • Flax  is  less  tolerant  than  cereals,  therefore  do  not  spray  flax  in  hot  humid 
weather  when  day  time  temperatures  are  over  29°C. 


HOW  IT  WORKS:  Bromoxynil  is  a contact  type  herbicide,  therefore,  good  spray  coverage  is  essential.  Inhibits 
photosynthesis  and  plant  respiration.  MCPA  is  absorbed  through  leaves  and  is  readily  translocated  in  the  plant. 

D.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Small  burnt  spots  on  the  leaf  can  appear  within  hours,  death  takes  up  to  2 weeks.  Poor  results  may 
be  expected  if:  Poor  coverage.  Poor  penetration  through  crop  canopy. 

|1.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL;  No  effect. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL;  Readily  leached  from  soil.  Longer  residual  in  dry  soil. 

'3.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS;  No  grazing  restrictions  specified.  Succeeding  Crops:  No  restrictions. 

4.  TOXICITY:  High  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (365).  Very  toxic  to  fish,  birds.  Non-toxic  to  bees. 

>5.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID;  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first 
aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce  vomiting.  Get  medical  attention.

Incorporation:  Sencor^ Eptam:  On  potatoes  see  Eptam.  Sencor +Tref Ian:  On  fababeans,  triazine  tolerant  canola.  Apply 
and  incoporate  in  the  same  operation,  if  possible.  Must  be  incorporated  within  24  hours.  Work  twice  in  different  directions. 
Use  a tandem  disc,  discer  or  vibrashank  type  cultivator  to  cut  8-10  cm  deep.  Operate  disc  implements  at  7-10  km/h; 
cultivators  at  10-13  km/h. 

Pressure:  200-275  kPa 

Nozzles:  Tilt  nozzles  45°  forward  for  better  spray  penetration  in  post  emergent  applications. 

APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Allow  4-5  days  between  application  of  Sencor  and  post-emergent  wild  oat  herbicides.  • Allow  4-5 
days  after  frost  for  crop  to  recover  before  applying  Sencor.  • Weed  control  may  be  reduced  if  Sencor  is  applied  later  than 
the  5 leaf  stage  of  crop.  • Crop  may  be  sprayed  when  wet  with  dew.  • Crop  must  be  planted  at  least  5 cm  below  soil 
surface.  Sencor+  Treflan:  • Cultivate  to  destroy  existing  weeds  before  application.  On  stubble  fields,  chop  and  thoroughly 
mix  crop  residues  into  soil  to  a depth  of  10-15  cm.  Disc  type  implements  provide  the  best  results.  To  avoid  concentrating 
wild  oat  seeds  below  the  treated  layer,  and  causing  soil  erosion,  do  not  plow  (moldboard)  land  prior  to  application.  • On 
variable  soils  with  light,  sandy  areas;  some  injury  may  occur  on  sandy  areas  if  the  rate  used  is  for  loams-clay  soils.  On 
soils  with  10%  organic  matter  and  higher,  broadleaf  weed  control  may  not  be  adequate.  Do  not  apply  to  wet  soils  or  soils 
subjected  to  periods  of  flooding.  Do  not  incorporate  with  a field  cultivator  when  the  soil  is  crusted,  lumpy,  or  too  wet  for 
good  mixing  action.  • Triazine  tolerant  canola  is  sensitive  to  deep  seeding  so  seedbed  should  be  shallowly  tilled  and 
packed  just  prior  to  seeding  in  the  spring  to  ensure  a firm  seedbed  and  accurate  depth  of  planting. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  A systemic  herbicide  absorbed  by  leaves  and  roots  and  translocated  to  new  growth.  Inhibits 
photosynthesis  and  the  weed  turns  brown  and  dies. 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Broadleaf  Weeds:  Initial  yellowing  5-7  days  after  application,  weeds  turn  brown  and  die  within  14-16 
days.  Active  in  soil  for  a short  period  and  can  control  new  shallow-rooted  germinants,  like  chickweed.  CROPS:  In  extremely 
hot  weather  or  frost  that  occurs  within  1-2  days  of  application,  crop  will  show  some  yellowing  and  slight  reduction  in  height. 
Discolouration  disappears  in  7-10  days.  On  Klondike,  Johnston  and  Leduc  barley  varieties,  temporary  lightening  in  colour 
and  reduction  in  height  may  occur.  Lentils  and  peas  provide  little  competition  against  weed  growth  due  to  their  low  growth 
habit.  Under  heavy  weed  infestations  or  lush  growth,  control  may  be  poor.  Triazine  tolerant  canola:  Stress  such  as 
disease,  cold,  deep  planting,  excessive  moisture,  high  salts,  or  drought  may  weaken  seedlings  and  increase  the  possibility 
of  damage.  Temporary  lightening  on  the  margins  of  cotyledons  and  a slight  delay  in  development  may  occur. 

EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  within  6 hours  after  application  may  reduce  weed  control. 


MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Little  leaching  occurs  in  soils  with  high  organic  matter. 

GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  graze  or  feed  treated  crop  to  livestock  within  30  days  of  application 
(lentils,  peas  - 70  days)  Application  to  Harvest  Interval  (Days):  Grain,  tomatoes  (60);  lentils,  peas  (70);  canola  (75). 
Succeeding  Crops:  As  a precaution  oats,  sugar  beets,  creeping  red  fescue,  and  small-seeded  grasses  (e.g.  timothy, 
canary  seed)  should  not  be  planted  following  a Treflan  mix.  Succeeding  pre-plant  applications  in  fababeans 
(Sencor+ Treflan),  potatoes,  triazine  toierant  canola:  Celery,  cole  crops,  cucurbits,  lettuce,  onions,  peppers,  rapeseed, 
spinach,  sugar  beets,  sunflowers,  table  beets,  and  turnips  may  be  injured  if  planted  in  soil  treated  with  Sencor  during  the 
year  of  application  and  the  following  crop  year.  Fall  seeded  or  cover  crops  such  as  wheat,  oats,  and  rye  may  be  injured 
when  seeded  in  the  same  season  as  the  application  of  Sencor. 


‘ . TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (1,100-2,300).  Slightly  toxic  to  fish  and  birds. 

I . PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  when  working  with  the  product  to  avoid 
exposure.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting 
(see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention. 

'L  STORAGE:  No  damage  by  freezing  but  avoid  large  temperature  fluctuations.  Store  in  a cool  dry  place.

WHEN  USED:  Preferably  after  alfalfa  becomes  dormant  in  fall  or  before  growth  begins  in  spring.  Do  not  apply  after  growt 
starts,  as  crop  injury  may  result. 

HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Ground  equipment.  Use  metal  filters,  line  strainers  and  screens  no  finer  than  50  mesh. 

Rate:  285-610  g/ac.  Lower  rate  on  sandy  loams  to  loams;  higher  rate  on  clay  loams  to  clay  soils. 

Water  Volume:  80  L/ac  minimum. 

Incorporation:  Not  applicable. 

Pressure:  275  kPa 

APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Do  not  overlap  spray  swaths.  'To  reduce  crop  injury,  do  not  use  on  soils  with  less  than  1%  organi< 
matter  nor  on  gravelly  soils  or  eroded  areas  where  subsoil  or  roots  are  exposed. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  Absorbed  by  roots  and  inhibits  photosynthesis. 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Kills  germinating  weeds.  Any  that  emerge  will  yellow  and  die.  Crop:  No  effect  on  alfalfa  if 
is  dormant  at  time  of  application.  Poor  results  may  be  expected  if:  Too  little  moisture  for  activation,  uneven  coverage, 
rate  too  low  for  soil  type. 

EFFECT  OF  RAINFALL;  Moderate  rainfall  is  desirable. 

MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Some  movement  under  light  soil  and  high  moisture  conditions. 

GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Drift:  Most  crops  sensitive.  Succeeding  Crops:  Seed  no  crop  within  2 years 
last  treatment. 

TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = (greater  than  5,000).  Non-toxic  to  bees. 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  fir

3.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Do  not  apply  where  bare  ground  is  undesirable,  where  soil  erosion  may  be  a problem,  or  on  areas 
where  the  roots  of  desirable  vegetation  may  extend.  • Do  not  use  on  walks,  driveways,  lawns,  patios,  tennis  courts,  or 
; similar  areas.  • Drift  or  any  form  of  product  movement  from  treated  areas  may  cause  damage  to  vegetation  to  which 
treatment  is  not  intended.  • Clean  application  equipment  thoroughly  after  use. 

i.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Requires  rainfall  to  move  into  root  zone.  Absorbed  by  roots  and  inhibits  photosynthesis. 

D.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Vegetation  will  turn  brown^and  die.  Spedd^of  kill  will  depend  on  root  depth  and  amount  of  rainfall. 
Duration  of  control  will  depend  upon  the  amount  of  chemical  applied,  soil-type  and  environmental  conditions.  Poor  results 
may  be  expected  from:  Inadequate  application  rate  or  application  onto  frozen  ground. 

1.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  will  activate  product,  by  carrying  into  the  root  zone. 

2.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Once  moved  into  the  soil  by  rainfall,  will  leach  vertically  with  time. 

3.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Spike  is  non-selective  residual  herbicide,  only  used  on  non-crop  areas. 

i.  TOXICITY:  Moderate  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = technical  (644).  Slightly  toxic  to  fish  and 
birds. 

5.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first 
aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).

WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  None 

WHEN  USED:  Weeds:  1-4  leaf  stage.  Seedling  or  rosette  stage  for  bluebur,  kochia,  flixweed,  shepherd’s-purse,  stinkweei 
Green  foxtail  - when  the  majority  of  plants  are  in  the  3 leaf  stage  or  less  (less  than  2.5  cm  tall),  effectiveness  declines 
rapidly  after  the  5th  leaf.  Under  dry  conditions  (soil  moisture  is  deeper  than  5 cm),  apply  when  green  foxtail  is  in  the  2-3 
leaf  stage.  Crops:  Cereals  - 2-5  leaf  stage  only.  Flax  between  5-12.5  cm  tall.  Temperature  Effects:  Do  not  spray  flax 
when  temperatures  exceed  30°C.  Do  not  apply  when  daily  maximum  temperatures  are  not  expected  to  exceed  10°C.  Urn 
hot,  dry  and  low  relative  humidity  conditions  spray  during  early  morning  or  evening.  Avoid  spraying  if  crop  is  recovering  fr 
frost  damage  or  if  frost  is  expected  within  24  hours. 

HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Ground  equipment  only.  Spra-coupe  not  recommended. 

Rate:  1.1  L/ac 

Water  Volume:  Field  sprayers  - 40  L/ac.  Floater  type  equipment  - 60  L/ac. 

Pressure:  275  kPa  « 

Ground  Speed:  8 km/h  field  sprayers,  20  km/h  or  less  for  floaters. 

Nozzles:  Only  flat  fan  nozzles.  Flooding  nozzles  can  be  used  on  floaters. 

APPLICATION  TIPS;  • Do  not  apply  Stampede  CM  in  fields  to  which  Atrazine  has  been  applied  during  the  previous  2 year 
• A3  day  interval  is  required  before  or  after  an  application  of  Stampede  CM  and  another  herbicide.  • insecticide  interval 
Wait  a minimum  of  5 days  for  wheat  and  10  days  for  barley  before  applying  Furadan  after  Stampede  CM.  Wait  a minimun 
of  14  days  before  applying  dimethoate  (Cygon)  or  Malathion.  Decis  may  be  applied  anytime  before  or  after  Stampede  CK 
Crops  grown  from  seed  treated  with  dual  purpose  (fungicide/ insecticide)  seed  dressings  may  be  treated  with 
Stampede  CM. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  Rapidly  absorbed  by  foliage  to  cause  breakdown  of  cell  walls  and  cellular  metabolism.  The  MCPA 
component  causes  phenoxy-specific  symptoms.  Activity  is  essentially  contact,  and  thorough  spray  coverage  is  necessary 
for  optimum  weed  control.  Weeds  become  tolerant  beyond  the  4 leaf  stage  as  well  as  under  stress  bonditions. 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Within  3-5  days,  weeds  turn  brown  and  have  a “burnt-off”  or  dried  out  appearance.  Weeds 
past  the  recommended  stage  will  show  extensive  desiccation,  but  some  green  tissue  remains  and  new  growth  may  be 
generated  enough  to  recover.  Weeds  emerging  after  spraying  are  unaffected.  Crops:  Temporary  yellowing,  and  leaf  tip  bi 
will  usually  be  more  noticeable  in  barley,  oats,  and  flax  than  wheat.  These  effects  disappear  10-14  days  after  treatment. 
New  growth  develops  normally  and  yields  are  not  reduced.  Applied  under  extreme’stress  conditions.  Stampede  CM  may 
cause  a slight  delay  in  crop  maturity,  and  some  suppression  of  growth  in  flax.  This  may  be  offset  by  increased  yield  due 
weed  control. 

EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  1 hour  after  treatment  will  not  affect  performance. 

MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL;  Propanil  is  relatively  non-mobile.  MCPA  is  readily  leached  from  soil.  Longer  residual  in  dry  soil. 
GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  None.  Drift:  Danger  is  low. 

TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (1,950).  Propanil  has  potential  to  cause 
chlorachne  - a skin  disease  in  man  following  prolonged  exposure. 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID;  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  to  reduce  skin  exposure  since  propanil  can 
cause  skin  problems.  Symptoms  of  poisoning:  Giddiness,  intoxication,  and  headache.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use 
standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce  vomiting.  Get  medical  attention  immediatelj

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Drain  and  flush  sprayer  tank  and  lines  after  spraying  is  completed.  • Do  not  apply  Stampede  360  in 
fields  to  which  Atrazine  has  been  applied  during  the  previous  2 years.  -AS  day  interval  is  required  before  or  after  an 
application  of  Stampede  360  and  another  herbicide.  • Insecticide  Intervals:  Severe  injury  of  crops  may  result  from  a tank 
mix  or  separate  applications  of  Stampede  360  and  certain  insecticides  in  the  same  crop  year  e.g.  Sevin  (carbaryl), 
parathion  methyl,  or  Guthion.  Decis  may  be  applied  any  time  before  or  after  Stampede  360  or  tank  mixed  with 
Stampede  360.  After  applying  Stampede  360,  wait  a minimum  of  5 days  for  wheat  and  10  days  for  barley  before  applying 
Furadan.  After  applying  Stampede  360,  wait  a minimum  of  14  days  before  applying  dimethoate  (Cygon)  or  Malathion.  No 
other  insecticides  are  registered  for  foliar  use  in  the  same  year  as  Stampede  360.  Do  not  spray  with  Stampede  360  if  th( 
field  was  treated  with  soil-applied  systemic  organophosphorous  insecticides  in  the  same  or  previous  crop  year. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Absorbed  by  leaves  and  causes  cell  wall  breakdown  and  interference  with  the  cellular  metabolism. 
Activity  is  primarily  contact,  therefore,  thorough  spray  coverage  is  necessary  for  optimum  weed  control.  Susceptible  weed 
become  tolerant  beyond  the  4 leaf  stage.  Stress  conditions  will  trigger  a hardening  off  process  and  hasten  the 
development  of  tolerance  to  chemical  control. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Affected  weeds  turn  brown  in  3-5  days  and  have  a “burnt-off",  or  desiccated,  appearance. 
Weeds  past  the  recommended  stage  will  show  extensive  browning,  but  some  degree  of  green,  tissue  remains.  New  tissue 
is  produced,  and  the  weed  will  recover.  Weeds  emerging  after  spraying  are  unaffected.  Crops:  Temporary  yellowing  and 
leaf  tip  burn  occur  and  is  more  pronounced  in  oats,  flax,  and  barley  than  in  wheat.  Effects  will  disappear  10-14  days  after 
treatment.  New  growth  is  not  affected  and  yields  are  not  reduced.  Under  stress  conditions,  a slight  delay  in  crop  maturity 
may  be  noticed. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Light  rainfall  1 hour  after  application  will  not  affect  performance. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Propanil  is  relatively  non-mobile. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  None. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Moderate  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = technical  (560),  Stampede  360  (3130). 
Propanil  has  potential  to  cause  chlorachne  - a skin  disease  in  man  following  long-term  exposure. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  to  reduce  skin  exposure.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ONi 
SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  Symptoms  of  poisoning:  Giddiness,  intoxication  and  headache.  I 
SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce  vomiting.  Get  medical  attention. 

16.  STORAGE:  Heated  storage  not  required.  If  frozen,  warm  and  agitate  thoroughly  to  redissolve  crystals.

Water  Volume:  40  L/ac  minimum. 

Incorporation:  Within  minutes  of  application.  Use  power  driven  cultivation  equipment,  set  to  cut  5-7.5  cm  deep  or  disc  set 
10-15  cm.  Both  types  of  equipment  should  operate  at  6. 9-9. 5 km/h.  Light  duty  cultivators  with  tines  on  15-20  cm  centres, 
set  10  crh  deep  and  operate  at  9.5-13  km/h.  For  discs  and  field  cultivators,  a second  working  at  right  angles  to  the  first 
will  ensure  thorough  mixing. 

Pressure:  275  kPa. 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  Proper  rates,  immediate  double  incorporation  (within  1 hour)  is  very  important. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Absorbed  by  roots  and  shoots  of  a germinating  weed,  disrupts  arid  stops  growth  causing  eventual  death 
of  germinating  weed. 

0.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Affected  weeds  do  not  emerge,  distorted  and  chlorotic  shoots  are  visible  by  removing  the 
top  layer  of  treated  soil.  Crops:  Sutan”*”  is  safe  on  crop.  Other  chemicals,  insects,  or  weather  may  weaken  seedlings 
resulting  in  crop  injury.  Poor  results  may  be  expected  if:  Soils  are  wet,  cloddy  and  trashy,  these  soil  conditions  are  not 
suitable  for  proper  application  and  incorporation. 

1.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Soluble  in  water  therefore,  excessive  moisture  may  cause  some  leaching. 

2.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Will  not  move  readily. 

3.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  No  restrictions  on  grazing,  crop  use  after  hail,  or  succeeding  crops.  Danger  from 
drift  is  low. 


4.  TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = technical  (3,500-5,431). 

5.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first

6.  WHEN  USED:  At  the  2-4  leaf  stage  of  annual  weeds.  Usually  2 applications  are  required  for  annual  grass  control,  1 in  late 
May  or  early  June  and  another  in  late  July  or  early  August. 

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Ground  equipment.  Do  not  use  mist  blowers. 

Rate:  700  mL/ac.  Under  adverse  growing  conditions  of  drought  or  heavy  weed  infestations  910  mL/ac  for  annual  grass 
control. 

Water  Volume:  50-80  L/ac  weeds  in  2-4  leaf.  60-80  L/ac  weeds  in  advanced  stage.  Higher  volumes  when  foliage  is 
dense. 

Pressure:  300  kPa 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Thorough  coverage  of  weeds  is  essential. 

• Apply  Sweep  + Lorox  L + MCPA  or  Sweep  + Glean  only  once  per  season. 

• Applications  made  on  cloudy  days,  or  periods  of  darkness  will  generally  increase  the  effectiveness. 

• Thoroughly  wash  equipment  after  spraying  using  Agral  90  at  60  mL/100  L of  water. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  A contact  herbicide  absorbed  by  leaves  and  stems.  Interferes  with  photosynthesis,  and  causes  yellowing 
and  eventual  death. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Provides  immediate,  fast  and  virtually  complete  annual  grass  control.  Repeat  applications  v 
be  necessary  when  new  weeds  emerge.  Yellowing  occurs  in  a few  hours,  followed  by  rapid  desiccation  and  later  death. 
When  tank-mixed  with  a broadleaf  herbicide,  most  annual  weeds  will  be  controlled.  Crop:  Not  applicable. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  No  effect  once  the  spray  solution  has  dried  on  the  plant. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  None. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  None.  Avoid  drift  onto  crops,  grazing  areas,  and  other  desirable  growth. 

14.  TOXICITY:  High  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = paraquat  ion  (120-150).  May  be  fatal  if 
swallowed. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS;  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  Wear  rubber  gloves,  safety  goggles,  and  a 
face  shield  when  handling  the  concentrate.  KEEP  OUT  OF  REACH  OF  CHILDREN  AND  ANIMALS.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN 
use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention 
immediately. 

16.  STORAGE:  Never  transfer  to  other  containers.  Store  tightly  in  original  containers  and  in  a safe  place.  Heated  storage.

TARGET  (MCPA  + mecoprop  + dicamba) 

Ciba-Geigy 


CAUTION  POISON 


FORMULATIONS:  Liquid;  275  g/L  MCPA  + 62.5  g/L  mecoprop  + 62.5  g/L  dicamba;  2 X 10  L pack. 
REGISTERED  MIXES:  Afolan  F or  Lorox  L or  Sencor  (barley,  wheat). 


CROPS:  Annual  canary  grass  (8.5),  barley  (8.5),  oats  (9.0),  summerfallow  (thistle  control),  wheat  [Durum  and  hard  red 
spring  (8.4),  winter  (8.5)]. 


WEEDS  CONTROLLED: 
buckwheat  (Tartary, 
volunteer,  wild)(8.0) 
catchfly,  night-flowering  (7.5) 
cleavers  (7.5) 
cockle,  cow  (8.5) 
flixweed 


hemp-nettle  (7.0) 
knotweed 
kochia  (8.0) 
lady’s-thumb 
lamb’s-quarters  (8.7) 


mustards  (ball,  volunteer,  wild, 
wormseed)(8.8) 

pigweed  (prostrate,  redroot)(8.8) 
ragweed,  common 
rapeseed,  volunteer  (8.5) 
shepherd’s-purse 


smartweeds,  annual  (8.0) 
sow-thistle,  annual 
spurry,  corn  (8.8) 
stinkweed  (8.4) 
sunflowers,  volunteer  (8.0) 
thistle,  Russian  (8.5) 


WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  Canada  thistle,  bindweed  (field  and  hedge). 


WHEN  USED:  Annual  canary  grass,  wheat  (Durum,  spring),  oats,  - 2-5  leaf  stage.  Barley  - 2-3  leaf  stage.  Summerfallow  - 
thistles  are  in  the  early  bud  stage.  Weed  growth  stage  - 2-5  leaf  stage.  Winter  wheat  - apply  in  spring  before  crop  is 
more  than  30  cm  tali.  NOTE:  Treatment  at  other  than  recommended  crop  stage  may  cause  injury. 


HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Ground  equipment. 

Rate:  405-610  mL/ac.  Cleavers  (1-2  whorl  stage)  - 610  mL/ac. 

Thistle  control  on  summerfallow  810  mL/ac  in  1st  year;  405-610  mL/ac  in  2nd  year. 

Water  Volume:  40  L/ac.  When  using  28-0-0  liquid  nitrogen  as  carrier,  use  45  L/ac  of  total  solution. 
Pressure:  200-300  kPa 


APPLICATION  TIPS:  • For  hemp-nettle  control,  apply  before  the  second  pair  of  true  leaves  appear. 

• Use  the  higher  rate  when  weeds  are  beyond  the  3 leaf  stage,  when  weed  densities  are  high  or  under  adverse  weather 
conditions. 

• In  winter  wheat,  spray  winter  annuals  as  soon  as  growth  begins  in  spring  or  if  28-0-0  liquid  nitrogen  is  used  as  the  carrier. 

• Do  not  let  contents  stand  for  long  periods  of  time  without  agitation. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  A combination  of  3 systemic  hormonal  herbicides  which  accummulate  in  the  growing  point  of  susceptible 
plants,  produce  abnormal  growth  and  disrupt  the  transport  system  in  plants. 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Visible  effects  occur  7-14  days  after  treatment.  Leaves  curl,  leaf  edges  turn  brown,  petioles 
twist,  plant  ceases  growth  and  turns  brown  and  dies.  Crop:  Improper  or  untimely  application  can  result  in  abnormal  bending 
at  the  nodes  of  grain  stalks,  difficulty  in  head  emergence  from,  sheath,  curled  awns,  malformed  kernels  and  sterile  florets. 
Under  certain  conditions  straw  shortening  may  occur  but  yield  will  not  be  affected.  Poor  results  may  be  expected  if: 

There  is  poor  cove4tage,  rainfall  less  than  3 hours  after  application  or  weeds  too  advanced.  Dicamba  containing  products 
can  be  hard  on  crops  if  incorrectly  applied. 


EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  within  3 hours  will  reduce  activity. 

MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  MCPA /mecoprop:  Readily  mobile  in  the  soil.  Dicamba:  Relatively  mobile;  mobility  affected  by 
capillary  movement  and/or  surface  evaporation.  Concentration  and  location  in  the  soil  profile  will  be  determined  by  total 
seasonal  precipitation,  its  frequency,  and  original  herbicide  dosage. 


GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  feed  treated  crop  to  livestock  until  7 days  after  application.  Drift:  Most 
vegetables  and  fruit  crops  are  very  sensitive. 


TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = MCPA  (100-500),  mecoprop  (930),  dicamba 
(2,629),  Target  (1,600).  Non-toxic  to  fish.  Toxic  to  bees. 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  to  avoid  exposure.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - 
use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention. 

STORAGE:  Heated  storage  only.  '

3.  WHEN  USED:  Tordon  22K  - Anytime  when  fully  developed  green  leaves  are  present.  Tordon  101  Mixture  - Brush:  After 
foliage  is  well  developed.  Unsatisfactory  results  may  occur  if  applications  are  made  when  foliage  has  lost  its  normal  green 
li  colour. 

I Weeds:  Spring  or  early  summer  after  growth  appears. 

, f.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Tordon  22K  - Boom  or  handgun.  Tordon  101  Mixture  - Ground  equipment  or  helicopter  using  drift  control  agent. 
Rate;  Tordon  22K  - Group  1:  445  mL/ac.  Group  2:  910  mL/ac.  Group  3:  1.8  L/ac.  Group  4:  3.6  L/ac. 

Tordon  101  Mixture  - Brush:  7.3-10  L/ac.  Weeds:  2.8  L/ac. 

Water  Voiume:  Tordon  22K  - 160-324  L/ac.  Tordon  101  Mixture  - 80  L/ac. 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Tordon  22K  used  as  a spot  treatment  in  a crop.  No  spot  treatment  should  exceed  1 acre,  and  the 
i total  area  treated  in  any  1 field  in  a year  should  not  exceed  5%  of  the  total  acreage. 

NOTE:  Picloram  is  extremely  persistent  and  water  soluble.  Small  quantities  may  cause  damage  to  desirable  plants.  Do  not 
apply,  or  permit  any  Tordon  to  contaminate  soil  used  to  grow  desirable  susceptible  plants.  Do  not  contaminate  water  used 
I for  irrigation  or  domestic  purposes. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Interferes  with  cell  division,  causing  leaf  cupping,  stem  distortion  and  eventual  death  of  plant.  Tordon  101 
and  22K  are  absorbed  through  leaves  and  roots. 

0.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Tordon  22K:  Perennial  weec^s  show  distorted  stems  and  cupped  leaves,  which  turn  yellow  and  then 
! brown.  Usually  native  grass  increases  in  abundance  as  a result  of  reduced  competition.  Tordon  101  Mixture:  2-3  weeks 

after  the  first  rainfall  after  treatment,  leaves  of  affected  trees  become  dull  and  cupped;  orange  streaks  appear  on  stems  of 
poplar  trees,  leaves  become  brown  and  brittle,  as  the  tree  dies.  Poor  resuits  may  be  expected  if:  There  is  heavy  rainfall 
immediately  after  treatment  on  light  sandy  soil. 

1.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL;  Heavy  rainfall  may  dissolve  and  carry  picloram  away  from  the  target  area,  or  percolate  dissolved 
picloram  out  of  the  root  zone  of  target  plants. 

2.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Picloram  is  very  soluble  in  water  and  moves  readily  with  water. 

j3.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  graze  treated  area  by  dairy  animals  within  6 weeks  after  treatment. 
Manure  from  picloram  treated  vegetation  should  not  be  used  to  grow  sensitive  crops  but  rather  be  returned  to  a cereal 
crop  field.  When  applied  as  a spot  treatment  on  cropland,  picloram  may  persist  in  soil  for  up  to  5 years,  and  prevent  the 
establishment  of  sensitive  crops.  Succeeding  Crops:  1st  Year:  Oats.  2nd  Year:  Oats  or  barley.  3rd  Year:  Oats,  barley,  or 
i wheat.  A reduction  in  yield  in  the  1st  year,  is  usually  offset  by  benefits  of  weed  control  obtained.  Legumes  may  not  be 
established  in  a pasture  for  several  years  after  a Tordon  treatment.  If  legumes  are  essential  in  a pasture,  do  not  use 
Tordon. 

'4.  TOXICITY:  Low  (22K)  or  moderate  (101  Mixture)  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  ^ rats  (mg/kg)  = technical 
Picloram  (8,200);  Tordon  22K  (10,330);  Tordon  101  Mixture  (3,080). 

,5.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first 
aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi). 

6.  STORAGE:  Tordon  22K  and  Tordon  101  Mixture:  Store  in  a cool,  dry  place.  Do  not  freeze.  If  freezing  occurs,  bring  to  room 
temperature  and  mix  thoroughly.

WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  Canada  thistle,  perennial  sow-thistle. 

WHEN  USED:  3-5  leaf  stage  of  crop.  Seedling  (2-4  leaf)  stage  of  weeds. 


thistle,  Russian 
(2-4  leaf) 


HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Ground  equipment. 

Rate:  810  mL/ac 
Water  Volume:  40-80  L/ac 
Pressure:  200-275  kPa 
Nozzles:  Flat  fan  nozzles  preferred. 

APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Treat  during  warm  weather  when  the  weeds  are  young  and  growing  actively.  • Do  not  apply  to  area! 
where  surface  water  can  run  off  to  adjacent  cropland  or  into  bodies  of  water. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  Absorbed  by  leaf,  stem  and  roots  and  translocated  throughout  the  plant  to  the  growing  points.  A residu 
of  picloram  remains  in  the  soil  during  the  growing  season  and  controls  some  late  germinating  weeds,  like  wild  buckwheat 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Death  of  weeds  is  not  immediate  but  growth  is  slowed  and  eventually  ceases.  Under  certain 
conditions  straw  shortening  in  wheat  may  occur,  but  yield  will  not  be  affected. 

EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  within  4-6  hours  of  application  may  reduce  activity. 

MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Picloram  degrades  relatively  slowly  in  soil  and  water,  and  may  be  leached  out,  after  rainfall,  from 
soils  extremely  low  organic  matter. 

GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  permit  meat  animals  being  finished  for  slaughter  nor  dairy  animals  to 
forage  or  graze  treated  fields  within  2 weeks  of  treatment.  Drift:  Small  amounts  can  damage  many  desirable  broadleaf 
plants.  Use  of  Straw  from  Treated  Fields:  Do  not  use  straw  from  treated  crops  for  composting  or  mulching  on  susceptit 
broadleaf  crops.  If  straw  (non-toxic  to  livestock)  is  used  for  bedding  or  animal  feed  return  the  manure  to  fields  to  be 
planted  to  grain  crops,  flax,  rapeseed,  or  perennial  grasses.  Rotational  Crops:  Fields  treated  in  the  previous  year  with 
Tordon  202C  may  be  seeded  to  rapeseed  (including  canola),  mustard,  flax,  wheat,  oats,  barley,  or  can  be  summerfallowe 
Succeeding  Crops:  Certain  desirable  broadleaf  crops  can  be  damaged  by  small  amounts  of  Tordon  202C  in  the  soil. 
Alfalfa  and  sunflower  should  NOT  be  planted  until  at  least  the  third  growing  season  after  the  year  of  last  Tordon  treatmer 
Beans  (all  types),  lentils,  peas,  and  potatoes  should  NOT  be  planted  until  at  least  the  fifth  growing  season  after  the  year 
the  last  Tordon  treatment.  An  adequately  sensitive  field  bioassay  should  be  done  to  confirm  the  treated  area  is  safe  befc 
planting  a sensitive  crop.  Handling  Treated  Soils:  Treated  soil  should  not  be  moved  to  other  areas,  nor  used  to  grow 
susceptible  broadleaf  plants  unless  an  adequately  sensitive  bioassay  shows  that  no  detectable  picloram  is  present.  For 
additional  cropping  and  use  information,  contact  Dow  at  1-800-661-6436. 

TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = Tordon  202C  (1500-2500).  May  cause  eye 
irritation.  Considered  non-toxic  to  fish  and  bees. 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  to  avoid  exposure.  Rubber  gloves  and 
goggles  should  be  worn  when  handling  the  concentrated  formulation.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid 
measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention. 

STORAGE;  Heated  storage.  If  freezing  occurs,  warm  and  mix  thoroughly  before  using.

1.  FORMULATIONS:  Emulsifiable  Concentrate;  Treflan  545  EC;  545  g/L;  8.3  L jug,  200  L drum.  Granular;  Treflan  QR5;  5%;  25, 
725  kg  bags 

2.  REGISTERED  MIXES:  Treflan  QR5:  None.  Treflan  545  EC:  Avadex  BW,  liquid  fertilizer,  Avadex  BW  + liquid  fertilizer.  Mix 
Restrictions:  Add  Treflan  or  Treflan  + Avadex  directly  into  the  liquid  fertilizer,  mix  thoroughly  and  apply  as  soon  as  possible. 
Agitate  until  application  is  complete. 

3.  CROPS:  Treflan  545  EC:  Barley,  wheat  (Durum,  spring).  Treflan  OR5:  Barley  only.  Underseeding:  Not  recommended. 

4.  WEEDS  CONTROLLED:  Treflan  545  EC:  Green  and  yellow  foxtail.  Treflan  QR5:  See  Treflan  (Oilseeds). 

5.  WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  None 

j 6.  WHEN  USED:  Treflan  545  EC:  Alone  or  with  Avadex  BW  in  the  spring  only  after  seeding  and  prior  to  emergence  of  crop. 
Treflan  QR5:  Fall  only.  September  1 to  soil  freeze-up.  Do  not  apply  on  land  treated  with  Treflan  since  June  1 of  the 
previous  year. 

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Ground  equipment. 

Rate:  Treflan  545  EC:  445  mL/ac  on  light  to  medium  textured  soil.  610  mL/ac  on  heavy  textured  soil. 

Treflan  QR5:  See  Special  Use  below. 

Water  Volume:  45  L/ac 

I Incorporation:  Incorporate  2-4  cm  with  two  cross  harrowings  with  tyne  or  diamond  harrows  operated  at  a minimum  of  9 
[ km/h.  Treflan  545  EC:  Both  incorporations  must  be  done  within  24  hours  of  application.  Treflan  QR5:  See  Special  Use 
! below. 

} Pressure:  275  kPa 

1 8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Apply  only  on  fields  that  are  trash  free  or  summerfallow  fields.  • Crop  must  be  seeded  5-8  cm  deep  in 
j a well  tilled  seedbed  to  prevent  contact  between  the  chemical  and  the  seed.  Treflan  QR5:  See  Special  Use  below. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Acts  on  both  the  root  and  shoot  tips  as  they  emerge.  Prevents  cell  division  and  affected  plants  die 
before  emergence.  If  the  shoot  portion  of  the  plant  escapes  to  the  soil  surface,  lateral  or  secondary  root  growth  is 
1 inhibited  causing  a slow  death  since  the  plant  is  unable  to  gather  moisture  or  nutrients. 

|I0.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Green  Foxtail:  Seeds  germinating  in  the  treated  layer  die  before  reaching  the  soil  surface  because 
I root  and  shoot  growth  are  inhibited.  Seeds  germinating  below  the  treated  layer  will  produce  plants  that  will  emerge.  The 
secondary  root  system  of  plants  that  form  within  the  treated  layer  is  completely  inhibited  by  trifluralin  present  in  that  area. 
The  affected  plant  dies  slowly  as  crop  competition  and  temperature  stress  over-tax  the  rootless  plant’s  ability  to  take  up 
moisture.  Crop:  Crop  safety  is  maintained  when  seeded  to  a depth  of  5-8  cm. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  No  effect  once  incorporated  into  the  soil. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  None. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Under  normal  conditions,  Treflan  carry  over  will  not  harm  crops  grown  in  rotation, 
j As  a precaution;  oats,  sugar  beets,  creeping  red  fescue,  and  small-seeded  grasses  such  as  timothy,  and  canary  seed, 

should  not  be  grown  following  a Treflan  treated  crop. 

14.  TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = technical  (10,000).  In  clean  water,  fish  are 
very  sensitive  to  trifluralin;  but  in  runoff  and  muddy  water,  trifluralin  binds  to  the  suspended  soil  particles  and  large  amounts 
can  be  tolerated  by  fish.  Non-toxic  to  bees. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first 
aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention. 

16.  STORAGE:  Treflan  545  EC:  If  stored  below  5°C,  bring  contents  to  15°C  for  24  hours  and  shake  well  before  using.  Treflan 

I QR5:  Do  not  expose  to  high  temperatures  or  prolonged  direct  sunlight.  Do  not  let  product  remain  in  applicators  under  these 
I conditions. 

SPECIAL  USE:  Treflan  QR5  on  barley  ONLY  - Fall  application  only  (September  1 to  soil  freeze-up). 

Weeds  Controlled:  See  Treflan  QR5  under  Treflan  (Oilseeds) 

Incorporation:  For  more  effective  weed  control  the  second  incorporation  should  be  delayed  for  3 days. 

Rate:  Sandy  textured,  brown  and  dark  brown  soil  (2-4%  O.M.):  6.9  kg/ac.  Medium  or  heavy  textured,  brown  and  dark  brown 
soils  (2-4%  O.M.):  8.9  kg/ac.  Sandy  textured,  black  soils  (4-6%  O.M.):  8.9  kg/ac.  Medium  or  heavy  textured,  black  soils 
(4-6%  O.M.):  11.3  kg/ac.  Warning:  Do  not  apply  on  soils  with  less  than  2%  organic  matter  or,  on  deep  black  soil  with 
I more  than  6%  organic  matter.  Do  not  apply  on  land  treated  with  Treflan  since  June  1 of  the  previous  year.  Application  to 
i severely  eroded  knolls  may  result  in  reduced  crop  stand.  Using  press  or  hoe  drill,  seed  5 cm  deep  into  a moist,  warm 
seedbed.  Avoid  seeding  into  very  cold  soil.  Seedling  disease,  cold  weather,  improper  seeding  depth,  excessive  moisture, 

; high  salt  concentration,  or  drought  may  weaken  crop  seedlings  and  increase  the  possibility  of  damage  from  Treflan.

may  be  tank  mixed  with  Sencor,  see  Sencor  for  tank  mix  rates. 

Water  Volume:  45  L/ac 

Incorporation:  • First  incorporation  must  be  ddne  within  24  hours  of  application.  Second  incorporation  should  be  done  at 
right  angles  to  the  first.  • When  fall  application  is  used,  it  is  preferred  that  both  incorporations  be  completed  in  the  fall. 

• Treflan  QR5:  Delay  second  incorporation  for  3 days.  This  allows  time  for  greater  release  of  QR5  into  the  soil  and 
assures  a more  uniform  distribution.  • Flax,  Lentils:  Both  incorporations  of  Treflan  545  EC  or  QR5  must  be  done  in  the  fall. 

• A tandem  disc,  discer,  or  field  (vibrashank)  cultivator  are  recommended  for  incorporating  to  8-10  cm.  Operate  discs  at 
6-10  km/h  and  cultivator  at  10-13  km/h.  A tandem  disc  gives  the  best  mixing  action  on  stubble  conditions.  Do  not  use  a 
field  cultivator  to  incorporate  Treflan  when  soil  is  crusted,  lumpy,  or  too  wet  for  good  mixing. 

Pressure:  275  kPa 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • To  avoid  concentrating  wild  oat  seeds  below  the  treated  layer,  do  not  plow  land  prior  to  Treflan 
application.  • Do  not  apply  Treflan  545  EC  to  soils  with  more  than  20-25%  straw  cover  or  on  standing  weeds.  On  stubble, 
chop  and  thoroughly  mix  residues  into  the  soil  prior  to  addition  of  Treflan  EC.  • Treflan  QR5  can  be  used  when  trash  is 
heavier  or  on  standing  weeds,  provided  they  do  not  interfere  with  the  distribution  of  the  granule  and  do  not  limit 
incorporation.  • Do  not  apply  on  soils  that  are  wet,  in  poor  tilth,  or  contain  15%  or  more  organic  matter.  • Fall  or  summer 
application  should  be  followed  by  a light  spring  tillage  to  a 5-8  cm  depth  before  seeding.  •Flax,  Lentils:  Shallowly  till  and 
pack  the  soil  in  the  spring  to  ensure  a firm  seedbed  and  accurate  depth  for  seeding.  Seed  into  a well  packed,  warm,  moist 
seedbed.  Do  not  seed  deeper  than  4 cm. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Kills  seedlings  as  they  germinate.  Inhibits  cell  division  in  the  actively  growing  points  of  root  and  shoot.  It 
does  not  control  established  weeds. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Most  die  before  emerging.  Weeds  will  exhibit  swelling  in  the  coleoptile  region,  stubby,  thick 
primary  root  development  and  lack  of  secondary  roots,  which  leads  to  death  due  to  inadequate  moisture  obtaining  ability. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  No  effect  once  Treflan  is  incorporated  into  the  soil. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  None. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  None.  Crop  Use  After  Hail:  No  restrictions.  Succeeding  Crops:  Normally, 

Treflan  carry  over  will  not  harm  crops  grown  in  rotation.  As  a precaution,  oats,  sugar  beets,  creeping  red  fescue,  and 
small-seeded  grasses  such  as  timothy  and  canary  seed  should  not  be  grown  in  rotation  following  a Treflan  treated  crop. 
Drought  conditions  in  the  year  of  treatment  may  result  in  higher,  levels  of  trifluralin  carry  over  into  the  next  year,  to  avoid 
wheat  injury,  seed  less  than  7 cm  deep  into  a warm  moist  seedbed.  Overapplication  caused  by  overlapping  or  improper 
calibration  or  non-uniform  application  may  reduce  the  stand  of  crop  grown  in  rotation.

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first 
aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention. 

16.  STORAGE:  Do  not  store  below  5°C.  If  stored  below  5°C,  bring  the  contents  to  15°C  for  24  hours  and  shake  well  before 
using.  Do  not  store  near  heat,  spark  or  open  flame.

km/h.  Where  possible  spray  and  incorporate  in  the  same  operation.  Incorporate  twice  within  8 hours. 

Pressure:  275  kPa 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Apply  only  on  fields  that  are  trash  free  or  summerfallow.  • Apply  only  to  soils  with  less  than  15% 
organic  matter  which  are  dry  and  in  good  working  condition.  Do  not  treat  soils  that  have  the  potential  of  becoming 
water-logged.  • Crop  must  be  seeded  5-8  cm  deep  in  a well  tilled  seedbed  to  prevent  contact  between  the  chemical  and 
the  seed. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Acts  on  both  the  root  and  shoot  tips  as  they  emerge.  Prevents  cell  division  and  affected  plants  die

up  moisture.  Crop:  Crop  safety  is  maintained  when  seeded  to  a depth  of  5-8  cm.  Poor  resuits  may  be  expected  if: 
Conditions  causing  seedling  stress,  such  as  wet  soils,  incorrect  planting  depth,  seedling  disease,  low  temperatures, 
excessive  salt  in  soil,  or  drought  could  bring  about  damage  to  the  crop. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  No  effect  once  incorporated  into  the  soil. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  None. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  None.  Succeeding  Crops:  Under  normal  conditions  there  will  not  be  a carry 
over.  As  a precaution,  creeping  red  fescue,  oats,  sugar  beets,  small-seeded  grasses  such  as  canary  seed  or  timothy

i than  6%  organic  matter,  (b)  4.4  L/ac  on  loamy  to  clay  type  soils;  6-15%  organic  matter. 

Water  Volume:  40  L/ac 

Incorporation:  First  at  a right  angle,  within  8 hours  of  application.  Fall  application  should  be  followed  with  2 incorporations 
at  right  angles,  before  freeze-up.  A tandem  disc,  discer,  or  field  (vibrashank)  cultivator  is  recommended  for  incorporating  to 
7.5-10  cm.  For  best  results,  operate  disc  implement  at  6.5-10  km/h;  cultivator  at  10-13  km/h. 

Pressure:  275  kPa 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Do  not  apply  on  soils  that  are  wet,  in  poor  tilth,  or  contain  15%  or  more  organic  matter.  - To  avoid 
j concentrating  wild  oat  seeds  below  the  treated  layer,  do  not  plow  land  prior  to  Triflurex  application.  • Use  on  soils  with  less 
than  20-25%  straw  cover.  On  stubble,  chop  and  thoroughly  mix  residues  and  weed  growth  into  the  soil  before  application. 

• A tandem  disc  mixes  best  on  stubble  or  poor  condition  soils  (crusted,  lumpy,  or  wet).  • Fall  or  summer  applications  should 
be  followed  by  a light  spring  tillage  to  a 5-8  cm  depth  before  seeding.  • Do  not  apply  with  air  seeder  as  it  gives 
non-uniform  seeding  depth  and  patchy  germination. 

! 9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Kills  seedlings  as  they  germinate.  Inhibits  cell  division  in  actively  growing  points  of  root  and  shoot. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Weeds:  Most  die  before  emerging.  Weeds  will  exhibit  swelling  in  coleoptile  region,  stubby,  thick 
primary  root  development  and  lack  of  secondary  roots,  which  leads  to  death  due  to  inadequate  moisture-obtaining  ability. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  No  effect  once  Triflurex  is  incorporated  into  the  soil. 


!i2.  movement  in  SOIL:  None. 

!i3.  grazing  and  cropping  RESTRICTIONS:  None.  Crop  Use  After  Hail:  No  restrictions.  Succeeding  Crops:  Normally,  carry 
I over  will  not  harm  crops  grown  in  rotation.  As  a precaution,  creeping  red  fescue,  oats,  sugar  beets,  small-seeded  grasses 
such  as  canary  seed  or  timothy  should  not  be  grown  in  rotation  following  a trifluralin  treated  crop.  Drought  conditions  in 
year  of  treatment  may  result  in  higher  levels  of  carry  over  into  the  next  year.  To  avoid  wheat  injury,  seed  less  than  7 cm 
deep  into  a warm  moist  seedbed. 


14.  TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (10,000).  In  clean  water,  fish  are  very 
sensitive,  but  in  runoff  or  muddy  water,  it  binds  to  soil  particles  and  large  amounts  can  be  tolerated  by  fish.  Non-toxic  to 
bees. 


15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first 
aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce  vomiting.  Get  medical  attention. 


16.  STORAGE:  Do  not  store  below  5°C.  If  stored  below  5°C,  bring  the  contents  to  15°C  for  24  hours  and  shake  well  before 
using.  Do  not  store  near  heat,  spark  or  open  flame.

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Ground  equipment. 

Rate:  1.1 -1.7  L/ac  depending  on  weeds  to  be  controlled. 

Water  Volume:  60-80  L/ac 
Pressure:  275  kPa 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Spray  in  warm  weather  when  plants  are  actively  growing.  • Peas:  Spray  when  growing  conditions  are 
good  and  the  peas  are  not  under  stress  from  drought  or  disease. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  A systemic,  absorbed  by  leaves  and  stems,  translocated  to  actively  growing  regions,  disrupts  cell 
division,  ceases  cell  growth  and  interferes  with  respiration  and  food  reserves.  Selectivity  based  on  ability  of  plant  to 
efficiently  convert  MCPB  to  MCPA. 

10.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Broadleaf  weeds:  Should  be  dead  within  2-3  weeks  of  treatment.  Poor  results  may  be  expected  if. 
Water  volume  is  incorrect  or  weeds  are  too  mature. 

11.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  before  the  foliage  has  dried  from  the  spraying  may  decrease  activity. 

12.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Readily  leached  from  soil.  Longer  residual  in  dry  soil. 

13.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  None  specified. 

14.  TOXICITY:  High  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (500).  Non-toxic  to  bees. 

15.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  to  avoid  exposure.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - 
use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention.

5.  WEEDS  SUPPRESSED:  None. 

6.  WHEN  USED:  Herbaceous  Weeds:  Just  before  or  soon  after  weed  emergence.  Do  not  apply  to  frozen  or  snow  covered 
I soil.  Conifer  Site  Preparation  (Velpar  L):  - In  spring  after  ground  has  thawed.  Undiluted  Spot  Treatment  for  Brush 

(Velpar  L):  - To  unthawed  ground  in  spring  or  early  summer. 

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Fixed  boom  sprayer,  handgun,  back  pack  sprayers,  a watering  can  for  smaller  areas,  or  a spot  gun. 

Rate: 

I Velpar:  Contact  Kill  or  Short  Term  (3  months):  - 1.1-1.8  kg/ac  as  a foliar  spray.  More  than  1 Season:  - 1.8-3. 6 kg/ac 
I as  a foliar  spray.  Higher  rates  on  clay  or  clay  loam  soils  and  on  soils  with  more  than  5%  organic  matter. 

! Velpar  L:  Conifer  Site  Preparation:  ~ 3. 6-7. 2 L/ac.  Black  or  white  spruce  and  jack  pine  may  be  planted  immediately  after 
the  3.6  L/ac  application,  but  should  NOT  be  planted  until  a year  after  application  at  higher  rates.  Undiluted  Spot 
Treatment  for  Brush:  0.75-1.50  mL  for  each  1 cm  of  stem  diameter  (breast  height)  of  plants  to  be  controlled.  Direct 
treatment  within  0.5  m of  the  root  collar  of  plants  to  be  controlled  and  at  least  1.0  m from  desirable  conifers. 

Water  Volume:  Handgun,  minimum  of  650  L/ac  of  spray  solution.  Velpar  L - at  least  5 L of  water  for  each  L of  Velpar  L. 

18.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Avoid  overlapping  spray  swaths.  • Do  not  apply  to  slopes  as  soil  erosion  may  occur.  • Velpar  - do 
I not  apply  when  vegetation  is  dormant  or  semi-dormant  as  the  treatment  may  not  be  effective.  • Velpar  L - do  not 
use  on  gravelly  or  rocky  soils,  exposed  subsoil,  or  sandy  soils.  • Velpar  L - since  the  effect  on  conifers  varies  with 
soil  type,  uniformity  of  application,  and  environmental  conditions,  it  is  suggested  growers  first  test  Velpar  L on  small 
areas. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  A systemic  herbicide  readily  absorbed  through  the  roots  and  foliage  and  translocated  upwards. 

I inhibits  photosynthesis. 

• 0.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Plants  become  chlorotic  soon  after  treatment  and  then  die.  Rainfall  will  increase  efficacy.  Poor 
j results  may  be  expected  if:  There  is  inadequate  application  rate,  weed  growth  too  mature,  insufficient  rainfall,  or 
i application  on  areas  subject  to  severe  soil  erosion. 

1.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  less  than  4 hours  after  application  may  affect  the  contact  activity, 
lb.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Velpar  moves  downward  in  the  soil  to  the  root  zone  of  woody  species. 

[|3.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Use  on  non-crop  areas.  Succeeding  Crops:  Velpar  is  a non-selective  residual 
i herbicide.  Only  used  on  non-crop  areas. 

i4.  TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = technical  (1,690).  May  cause  some  eye 

irritation.  Slightly  toxic  to  fish. 

j5.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  goggles  or  face  shield  when  applying.  Velpar  irritates  eyes.  Velpar  L is  corrosive  to  eyes 
and  flammable.  Keep  away  from  heat,  sparks,  and  open  flame.  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  IF  IN 
EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention  for  eyes.  IF  SWALLOWED  -

WHEN  USED:  Year  round;  will  noi  freeze  during  storage  or  application. 

HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Knapsack  sprayer. 

Rate:  20  L/ac  normally.  Rate  depends  on  amount  and  size  of  brush  being  treated.  Basal  bark  applications  normally  requin 
less  than  5 mL/stem. 

Water  Volume:  None,  ready-to-apply  formulation.  Spray  bark  until  wet  only,  rather  than  runoff. 

Pressure:  100  kPa  is  optimal  for  most  applications.  Do  not  use  over  140  kPa. 

Nozzles:  Spraying  Systems  5500  adjustable  ConeJet  nozzles  with  Y series  orifices,  200  mesh  screens. 

APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Weedone  CB  may  affect  O rings  and  other  seals  in  certain  sprayer  units.  The  most  effective  method 
of  minimizing  this  problem  is  to  drain  the  sprayer  completely  every  evening.  Weedone  CB  can  be  returned  to  the  original 
container.  • Do  not  allow  contact  with  desirable  vegetation.  • Basal  bark  applications:  Apply  to  lower  50  to  100  cm  of  pla 
stem.  Treat  all  around  the  stem  including  root  collar  and  any  exposed  roots.  It  is  not  necessary  to  use  so  much  product 
that  it  puddles  at  the  root  collar.  Use  the  stump  treatment  for  any  plant  with  a diameter  of  more  than  10  cm  at 
breast-height.  • Stump  applications:  Control  stems  with  a breast-height  diameter  of  more  than  10  cm  by  cutting  the  tree 
and  thoroughly  treating  the  bark,  root  collar,  and  any  exposed  roots  of  the  remaining  stump.  The  stumps  can  be  any  heigh 
as  long  as  all  the  remaining  wood,  bark,  and  roots  are  thoroughly  treated.  Stumps  do  not  require  immediate  treatment, 
permitting  separate  cut  and  spray  operations  for  greater  efficiency. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  Contains  a penetrant  which  allows  the  herbicide  to  be  effectively  absorbed  through  the  bark.  It  is  not 
necessary  to  cut  or  frill  prior  to  application. 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Spring  or  summer  applications  will  cause  leaves  to  brown  and  wilt  that  season,  no  leaves  appear  th 
following  year.  Fall  or  winter  treated  stems  may  briefly  leaf  out  in  the  following  season  but  will  die  shortly  afterwards. 
Herbacious  plants  may  die  around  base  of  brush  sprayed. 


EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  None. 

MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Leaching  does  not  pose  a problem. 

GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  No  grazing  restrictions. 

TOXICITY:  Moderate  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = Toxic  to  fish. 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  Wear  eye  protection  and  impermeable 
gloves.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention  for  eyes.  IF 
SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce  vomiting.  Promptly  drink  a large  quantity  of  milk,  egg  white,  gelatin  solution,  or  if  these  ar« 
not  available,  water.  Get  medical  attention. 

STORAGE:  Store  in  tightly  closed  containers.  Not  damaged  by  freezing.

PLANT  GROWTH  REGULATOR 

CERONE  (ethephon) 

May  & Baker 

1.  FORMULATIONS;  Liquid  Solution:  480  g/L;  5 L jug. 


CORROSIVE 


2.  REGISTERED  MIXES:  None.  Mixing  instructions:  To  1/2  required  amount  of  water  add  Cerone,  start  agitation,  then  add  the 
rest  of  water.  Maintain  gentle  agitation  at  all  times.  Mixing  Restrictions:  Do  not  add  surfactants  or  wetting  agents  as  it 
may  result  in  severe  crop  injury  and  reduced  yields.  Do  not  allow  mixed  solutions  to  stand  overnight. 


3.  CROPS;  Barley  (all  spring  yarities  except  Birka),  wheat  (all  spring  varities). 

4.  WHEN  USED:  When  most  of  the  tillers  are  between  early  flag  leaf  emergence  to  swollen-boot  stage  (Zadoks  stages  37  to 
45).  Do  not  apply  after  more  than  10%  of  the  awns  have  emerged  (Zadoks  stage  49).  Correct  timing  is  critical  for 
successful  results  and  to  ensure  crop  safety. 

5.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Aircraft  or  Ground  equipment.  Do  not  use  control  droplet  applicators,  Sprafoils,  Spra-Coupes,  or  floaters. 

Rate: 

Crop  Quanity/ac 

Barley  (2  row;  spring)  . ' 200-300  mL 

Barley  (6  row;  spring)  200-400  mL 

Wheat  (spring)  200-300  mL 

i Use  the  lower  rate  unless  lodging  conditions  are  expected  to  be  severe.  Use  the  higher  rates  on  crops  that  are  heavily 
fertilized,  have  ample  moisture  and  are  prone  to  lodging. 

Water  Volume:  Aircraft  - 12  L/ac  minimum;  Ground  - 40-120  L/ac. 

Pressure:  Ground  - 275  kPa 
Nozzles:  Flat  fan  nozzles  recommended. 

APPLICATION  TIPS:  • To  prevent  permanent  staining  of  painted  surface,  wash  all  equipment  at  end  of  each  spray  operation. 

I • DO  NOT  APPLY  TO  CROPS  WHICH  ARE  UNDER  STRESS  such  as  drought,  excessive  moisture,  excessive  heat,  disease, 
or  crops  which  have  already  lodged,  as  severe  yield  reductions  may  result. 

f.  HOW  IT  WORKS;  Uptake  primarily  through  the  leaves  and  stem.  Very  little  translocation  throughout  the  plant. 

3.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Cerone  acts  by  releasing  ethylene  in  the  plant  tissues  which  reduces  cell  elongation  and  plant 
I height,  usually  by  2-15  cm.  Cerone  applications  also  strengthen  the  straw.  An  occasional  delay  in  maturity  may  occur.  This 
; is  normally  not  greater  than  5 days  and  is  generally  less  than  that  caused  by  lodging. 

).  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rainfall  within  5 hours  will  decrease  activity. 

i).  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL: 

|l.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Drift:  Avoid  drift  onto  nearby  crops  as  modifications  in  growth  may  result. 

I Grazing  Restrictions:  Do  not  graze  treated  green  crop.  Treated  straw  may  be  fed  to  livestock.  Harvest  Restrictions:  Do 
not  apply  within  35  days  of  harvest.  Succeeding  Crops:  No  restriction. 

L TOXICITY;  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = (4,229).  Highly  acidic  and  highly  corrosive; 

! contact  will  cause  skin  irritation.  Over  exposure  may  cause  nausea.  Inhalation  may  cause  irritation  of  mucous  membranes. 
Eye  contact  may  cause  eye  damage. 

iJ.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Highly  corrosive.  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  plus  rubber  gloves,  goggles, 
and  respirator  when  handling  Cerone.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  Get 
medical  attention  for  eyes.  IF  SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce  vomiting;  get  immediate  medical  attention.  Drink  a large 
: quantity  of  milk,  egg  whites,  gelatin  solution,  or  if  these  are  not  available,  drink  large  quantities  of  water.  Avoid  alcohol. 

; Treatment  is  symptomatic. 

L STORAGE;  Do  not  freeze.

CHEMICAL  INSECT  CONTROL  IN  ALBERTA 

,e  degree  of  infestation  and  the  seventy  of  insect  damage  vary  drastically  from  area  to  area  and  season  to  season.  Some 
sts,  such  as  grasshoppers  and  bertha  armyworms,  require  control  during  periods  of  abundance  which  may  last  from  one  to 
[vera!  years.  Other  pests  are  perennial.  For  example,  sugar  beet  root  maggot  is  controlled  by  the  application  of  a granular 
fecticide  with  the  seed  at  planting  time. 

insure  proper  use  of  insecticides  identify  the  pest,  learn  its  biology,  check  your  fields  and  do  not  panic  when  you  see  an  insect 
your  crop.  Obtain  information  on  pending  pest  problems  and  keep  in  mind  the  previous  years’  problems  so  you  are  prepared  for 
^nges  in  insect  population  levels. 

jemical  Control 

! ention  to  the  following  points  should  lead  to  more  effective  control:  • Insecticides  will  kill  the  pest  insect  if  applied  properly  at  a 
^ge  when  the  pest  is  susceptible.  An  application  that  is  made  too  early  or  too  late  in  the  life  cycle  may  not  provide  adequate 
htro!  and  would  be  wasteful.  • Follow  label  instructions  for  proper  application.  • Learn  the  biology  of  the  pest.  • Base  control 
Icisions  on  the  amount  of  foliage,  weather  conditions,  age  and  size  of  the  insect  and  dosage  required.  Most  insecticides  have 
ited  residua!  control  properties  when  applied  to  foliage.  If  insects  are  moving  into  crops  or  emerging  over  an  extended  period, 
jl/eral  applications  in  the  same  season  may  be  necessary. 

|fety 

general,  insecticides  are  more  toxic  to  humans,  wildlife,  fish,  bees  and  other  non-target  organisms  than  herbicides.  Follow  label 
potions  for  safety  precautions  associated  with  application  of  each  insecticide.  Refer  to  first  section  for  general  information  on 
^sticide  toxicity,  exposure,  safety  precautions,  protective  equipment,  symptoms,  first  aid,  poison  control  centres,  and  disposal, 
ecific  information  on  safety  is  included  with  each  insecticide. 

IP  Safety 

ney  bees  and  other  pollinators  are  susceptible  to  most  insecticides.  If  applications  are  made  to  weeds  or  crops  in  bloom, 

/ere  pollinator  mortality  may  occur.  To  reduce  this  risk,  apply  insecticides  in  late  evening  (most  preferred)  or  early  morning 
en  bees  are  not  flying.  Advise  beekeepers  in  the  area  to  be  sprayed  at  least  48  hours  before  application.  Never  allow 
ecticide  spray  to  drift  directly  onto  an  apiary  site.  Do  not  apply  insecticides  to  water  bodies. 

estock  and  Residues 

I?  number  of  days  between  application  of  an  insecticide  and  harvesting,  feeding  to  livestock,  or  grazing  is  given  on  the  label. 

3se  restrictions  must  be  followed  to  prevent  illegal  residues  and  eliminate  hazards  to  consumers.  Follow  label  instructions. 

9 Guide 

s guide  includes  only  the  major  insecticides  registered  for  use  in  Alberta.  Not  all  insects  controlled  are  listed  for  each

7.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Powder  dissolves  readily  in  water  and  is  suitable  for  use  in  all  power-operated  ground  sprayers  and 
aircraft  sprayers.  Soluble  powders  should  be  used  in  sprayers  equipped  with  0.3  mm  or  larger  screens.  If  0.15  mm  screer 
are  used,  some  screen  clogging  may  occur.  • Trichlorfon  is  a selective  insecticide:  beneficial  insect  species  are  less 
affected.  This  selective  advantage  is  lost  when  product  is  used  in  conjunction  with  or  alternated  with  non-selective 
pesticides.  • Corn:  For  early  applications  to  control  armyworms  and  cutworms,  spray  when  plants  are  8-30  cm  high;  direct 
the  spray  to  the  lower  portions  of  the  plant.  Later  applications  may  be  made  as  full  coverage.  • Do  not  apply  to  or  allow 

' spray  drift  onto  varieties  of  sorghum  which  are  sensitive  to  phosphates. 

8.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Trichlorfon  is  an  organophosphate  insecticide  which  works  by  contact  and  ingestion. 

9.  GRAZING  AND  HARVEST  RESTRICTIONS:  Pre-harvest  or  pre-grazing  interval  (days):  alfalfa  (14);  barley,  flax,  oats,  wheat

NOTE:  Suggested  exposures  should  be  observed.  A shortened  exposure  period  cannot  be  compensated  for  by  increased 
dosage. 

7.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  General:  NEVER  fumigate  alone.  Have  appropriate  gas  detection  devices  available  for  use  as  needed. 
NEVER  fumigate  any  structure  or  area  unless  it  is  unoccupied.  Fumigating  Flat  Storages  (Quansets,  granaries):  • Make 
certain  that  the  structure  is  tight  enough  to  be  fumigated  successfully.  Seal  structure  as  needed.  Make  certain  that  there 
are  no  adjoining  structures  occupied  by  man  or  animals.  During  fumigant  application  leave  all  doors  or  other  openings  open 
to  create  a cross  ventilation.  • Application  can  proceed  for  2-4  hours  or  until  the  odor  of  phosphine  is  detected  in  the 
overspace.  Apply  the  tablets  or  pellets  using  a pipe.  Make  probes  every  4-5  feet  horizontally  across  the  grain  in  both 
directions.  The  number  of  tablets  or  pellets  used  per  probe  is  determined  by  dividing  amount  of  fumigant  to  be  used  by 
number  of  probings  to  be  made.  Fumigant  is  dropped  in  the  pipe  at  intervals  as  the  pipe  is  withdrawn  from  the  grain.  • A 
plastic  tarp  may  be  pulled  over  the  grain  surface  following  application.  This  reduces  convection  currents  and  increases  the 
effectiveness  of  the  fumigant.  Care  must  be  taken  to  see  that  the  plastic  is  removed  when  fumigation  is  completed  (no 
more  than  5-6  days  or  sweating  of  grain  may  occur).  • Close  and  seal  all  external  openings.  Placard  and  lock  all  entrances. 
Following  the  exposure  period,  open  doors  and  windows  creating  a cross  draft  to  aid  in  aeration.  Make  certain  all  warning 
signs  are  removed  when  aeration  is  complete. 

3.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Phosphine  (hydrogen  phosphide)  is  a colourless  gas  with  a carbide-like  odour  and  high  volatility. 

Formulated  product  consists  of  aluminium  phosphide,  ammonium  bicarbonate,  urea  and  paraffin.  Upon  exposure  to  air,  the 
ammonium  bicarbonate  breaks  down  to  form  ammonia  (a  pungent,  warning  gas)  and  carbon  dioxide  (a  fire  suppressant). 
Within  1-4  hours,  depending  on  temperature  and  humidity,  the  product  begins  to  release  phosphine  and  decompose. 

).  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  The  effectiveness  of  fumigation  is  primarily  dependent  upon  temperature,  tightness  of  seal,  the  type 
of  storage  space,  exposure  time  and  dosage.  Therefore,  a range  of  dosages  and  exposure  times  are  suggested. 

).  RESTRICTIONS  ON  TREATED  GOODS:  Aerate  finished  food  for  48  hours  before  it  is  offered  to  the  consumer. 

TOXICITY:  Hydrogen  phosphide  gas  is  very  toxic  to  all  forms  of  animal  life,  and  exposure  to  even  small  amounts  should  be 
prevented.  Poisoning  results  from  ingestion  or  inhalation  as  hydrogen  phosphide  is  not  absorbed  through  the  skin.  It  is  also 
insoluble  in  water,  fats,  and  oils.

12.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Protective  Equipment:  • It  will  be  necessary  to  wear  a gas  mask  if:  (a)  a structure  under 
fumigation  must  be  entered  in  case  of  emergency  or  (b)  a structure  must  be  entered  to  commence  aeration  procedure. 
Otherwise,  it  is  not  necessary  to  wear  a gas  mask  when  product  is  applied  according  to  label  directions.  Wear  gloves 
when  handling  the  product.  • Open  containers  only  in  open  air  and  with  the  opening  pointing  away  from  your  face.  Use 
entire  contents  of  a tube  once  it  is  opened.  Unopened  tubes  and  resealable  flasks  may  be  returned  to  the  locked  storage 
area  for  later  use.  Wash  hands  after  use  of  the  product.  Reduce  Gas  Hazards:  • NEVER  let  tablets  or  pellets  come  in 
direct  contact  with  liquid  - this  causes  the  immediate  release  of  hydrogen  phosphide.  • NEVER  confine  the  product  in  smal 
gas  proof  enclosures  such  as  plastic  bags.  Such  confinement  could  cause  the  gas  concentration  to  reach  the  lower 
flammability  level.  • Take  precautions  in  areas  where  copper,  brass  or  gold  are  present,  as  corrosion  may  occur.  NEVER 
fumigate  in  areas  containing  electronic  or  telephone  equipment,  photographic  film  or  copy  paper.  It  may  be  possible  to 
remove  such  items  or  protect  them  from  exposure  to  the  gas.  • Hydrogen  phosphide  has  great  penetrating  power  and  gas 
may  slowly  seep  through  concrete  block  walls.  Hydrogen  phosphide  does  not  layer,  but  expands  to  fill  the  available  spac 
Symptoms  of  poisoning:  Severity  is  dependent  on  concentration  of  hydrogen  phosphide  involved.  Mild  poisoning  results  ii 
fatigue,  nausea,  pressure  or  pain  in  the  chest,  ringing  in  the  ears,  and  uneasiness.  Hydrogen  phosphide  is  not  a chronic 
poison,  and  these  symptoms  will  readily  disappear  with  rest  and  fresh  air.  Greater  quantities  of  gas  produce  such 
symptoms  as  vomiting,  stomachache,  diarrhea,  disturbance  in  equilibrium,  and  dyspnea  (difficulty  in  breathing).  Very  high 
concentrations  quickly  cause  bluish-purple  skin  colour,  agitation,  poor  muscle  co-ordination,  sub-normal  blood  oxygen 
content,  unconsciousness  and  death.  Death  can  occur  very  quickly,  or  be  delayed  several  days  as  a result  of  pulmonary 
edema  and  collapse,  by  paralysis  of  the  central  respiratory  system.  In  cases  of  severe  poisoning,  disturbance  in  liver  and 
kidney  function  can  also  occur.  First  Aid:  Should  exposure  to  hydrogen  phosphide  be  documented  or  suspected  - remove 
patient  from  gas  atmosphere  to  open  air.  CALL  A PHYSICIAN  IMMEDIATELY.  Have  patient  lay  down,  keeping  him  warm  ai 
comfortable.  Treat  as  for  shock.  Make  NO  antidotal  use  of  fats,  oil,  butter,  or  milk.  Do  NOT  administer  atropine  as  it  is 
contraindicative.  Commence  artificial  respiration  if  breathing  has  ceased.  When  exposure  to  low  concentrations  of  hydrog 
phosphide  have  been  documented  or  suspected,  the  individual  involved  should  rest  for  24  hours  and  under  no 
circumstances  should  he  resume  any  work  dealing  with  fumigation. 

13.  STORAGE:  Tablets  and  pellets  are  received  in  wooden  cases  containing  sealed  tubes  and  cans,  or  resealable  flasks.  As 
long  as  the  tubes,  cans  or  flasks  remain  intact,  the  storage  life  of  the  product  is  unlimited.  Storage  should  be  in  a dry, 
locked,  ventilated  area  and  out  of  the  reach  of  children  and  irresponsible  persons.

L/ac.  Corn,  potatoes:  80-160  L/ac. 

APPLICATION  TIPS;  Cutworms:  Higher  rates  when  the  top  1 cm  of  soil  surface  is  extremely  dry  or  when  the  infestation  is 
heavy.  Foiiage  treatments:  When  spraying  crops  near  maturity,  an  application  system  that  gives  maximum  penetration  of 
the  crop  canopy  is  necessary  to  get  good  insect  kill.  Do  not  apply  to  crops  in  bloom. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  A broad-spectrum,  non-systemic  insecticide.  Works  by  contact,  ingestion  and  vapour  action. 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Insects  must  come  in  direct  contact  with  the  insecticide  in  order  to  be  affected.  Degrades  on  foliage 
by  weathering,  and  a significant  kill  of  insects  eating  treated  foliage  may  not  last  beyond  48  hours  after  treatment. 
Somewhat  more  persistent  in  soil  and  control  of  soil-borne  insects  may  be  more  durable. 

EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Foiiar  treatments  should  be  made  4-6  hours  before  forecasted  rainfall.  Soii  treatment  before 
forecasted  heavy  rainfall  should  be  avoided.  A light  rainfall  during  or  after  application  is  probably  helpful. 

MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Binds  to  organic  matter  in  soil,  and  is  not  likely  to  leach  in  soils  with  some  organic  matter. 

GRAZING  AND  HARVEST  RESTRICTIONS;  Wait-interval  for  canola  is  counted  from  day  of  processing.  Pre-harvest  interval 
|(days)  - Foiiage:  Barley,  oat,  wheat  (60);  canola  (21);  potato  (7).  Seediing:  Canola,  flax  (21);  corn,  potatoes  (70);  sugar 
beets,  sunflowers  (90).  Cover  crop  treated  with  Lorsban  should  not  be  used  for  human  or  animal  consumption. 

TOXICITY:  High  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (135-163).  Toxic  to  bees  and  fish. 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID;  Wear  protective  gear  to  avoid  contact  with  skin  or  eyes.  Do  not  inhale  vapours  or  spray  mist. 
Keep  away  from  heat,  sparks,  and  open  flame.  KEEP  OUT  OF  REACH  OF  CHILDREN.  Symptoms  of  poisoning  by 
jnhaiation:  Stuffy,  runny  nose,  scratchy  throat,  asthmatic  wheezing,  sudden  bronchospasm,  swelling  of  oral  and  laryngeal 
mucous  membranes,  shock.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical 
attention  for  eyes.  IF  SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce  vomiting.  Get  medical  attention  immediately.  For  Physician:  Contains 
a cholinesterase  inhibitor  and  a solvent.  Antidote  is  atropine.

Water  Volume:  10-20  L water;  Indian  meal  moth  (surface  treatment)  5-10  L water 

Incorporation:  Add  to  grain  as  it  is  being  augered,  or  scatter  proper  amount  of  dust  on  each  load  and  cut  in  with  shovel 
before  dumping. 

^ APPLICATION  TIPS:  All  crops:  Apply  when  day  temperature  is  expected  to  exceed  20° C.  Stored  Grain:  To  protect  from 
Indian  meal  moth,  spray  evenly  over  the  surface  of  clean  or  uninfested  grain  and  rake  to  a depth  of  15  cm.  Where  special 
application  equipment  is  not  available,  any  type  of  low  pressure  sprayer  holding  5 L or  more  can  be  used.  Apply  spray  to 
the  grain  stream  as  it  is  being  elevated  into  storage.  Test  sprayer  calibration  by  discharging  into  a tank  of  water,  then 
regulate  flow  of  grain  to  get  the  proper  rate  of  spray.  Keep  spray  coarse  to  avoid  loss  as  “drift”.  Before  storing  new 
I grain:  Thoroughly  clean  up  old  grain  and  debris  from  bins,  elevators,  or  grain  handling  equipment.  Remove  and  burn  all 
i sweepings.  After  cleaning  the  premises,  apply  a residual  malathion  spray  to  walls,  floors  and  machinery  in  grain  elevators 
or  farm  storage,  using  200  mL  Grain  Protectant/ 5 L water.  Force  spray  into  cracks  and  crevices.  Apply  at  5 L of 
spray/ 100  m^  of  surface  area  using  a coarse  wetting  spray.  Wait  until  spray  has  thoroughly  dried  before  storing  grain  in 
treated  areas.  Spray  this  mixture  around  the  outside  of  bins  and  elevators  to  help  prevent  re-infestation. 

. HOW  IT  WORKS:  A non-systemic,  contact,  organophosphate  insecticide  and  acaricide  of  brief  to  moderate  persistence. 
Generally  non-phytotoxic.  Not  effective  below  20° C (does  not  apply  for  control  of  stored  grain  insects). 

. GRAZING  AND  HARVEST  RESTRICTIONS:  Pre-harvest  and  pre-grazing  intervals  (days):  canola  (7),  cereals  (7),  flax  (7),  hay 
' (7),  legumes  (7),  mustard  (7),  pastures  (0),  potatoes  (3).  Forages  and  pasture:  Remove  cattle  before  spraying;  cattle  may 
I be  returned  immediately  after  spraying. 

TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = (2,800).  Highly  toxic  to  bees  and  fish. 

j.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  protective  gear  to  avoid  contact  with  skin  or  eyes  - do  not  inhale  vapour,  spray  mist  or 
dust.  Do  not  apply  to  plants  in  bloom.  Symptoms  of  poisoning:  Headache,  weakness,  sweating,  giddiness,  blurred  vision, 
nausea,  abdominal  cramps,  diarrhea,  and  discomfort  in  chest.  First  Aid:  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid 
j measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention. 

I STORAGE:  Do  not  store  near  food  or  feed.  Keep  container  tightly  sealed  when  not  being  used. 

; DECONTAMINATION:  Malathion  breaks  down  rapidly  in  the  presence  of  water  and  alkaline  materials.  Containers  and 
spillages  can  be  readily  decontaminated  by  use  of  Javex  or  lye,  or  washing  soaps  containing  sodium  hydroxide.

XLR:  1:1  (XLR:water)  for  maximum  wash  off  resistance.  Dilutions  greater  than  1:11  will  reduce  wash  off  resistance. 

Climbing  cutworms  - 91-111  L/ac. 

XLR’Plus:  Dilutions  greater  than  1:39  will  reduce  wash  off  resistance. 

SOW:  Aircraft  - 4-14  L/ac;  Ground  - 11-14  L/ac.  Climbing  cutworms:  Corn  - 89-142  L/ac;  Forages,  cereals  - 229  L/ac 
minimum:  Potato  - 91-111  L/ac. 

80S:  Corn,  potatoes  - use  sufficient  water  to  obtain  full  coverage;  Climbing  cutworms  - 89-111  L/ac.  Forages,  cereals  - 
22-178  L/ac;  Climbing  cutworms  223  L/ac  minimum. 

Chipman  Sevin:  Aircraft  - 4 L/ac;  Ground  - 12  L/ac  minimum. 

All  Crops:  Use  sufficient  water  to  obtain  thorough  and  uniform  coverage  of  spray  depending  on  equipment,  severity  of 
infestation  and  stage  of  crop  growth. 

Low  volume  air  applications:  Hot,  dry  conditions  may  cause  excessive  evaporation  of  droplets.  A higher  spray  volume  per 
acre  may  be  required  under  hot,  dry  conditions  and  when  crop  canopies  are  particularly  dense. 

Nozzles:  Low  volume  applications:  Wettable  Powder:  50-mesh  or  coarser  screens  in  entire  system;  cone  type  nozzles.  No. 
3 or  larger.  XLR/XLR-Plus:  50-mesh,  in-line  strainers  and  25-mesh,  slotted  strainers  behind  the  nozzle;  cone  type  nozzles, 
sizes  D6-45  or  D8-45.  Chipman  Sevin:  Finer  than  50  mesh  screen.  NOTE:  Flat  fan  nozzles  may  be  used  but  care  should 
be  taken  as  excessive  droplet  breakup  and  resulting  production  of  fine  droplets  may  occur.  Flat  fan  nozzles  are  also  prone 
to  plugging  under  hot,  dry  conditions. 


APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Timing  and  good  coverage  are  essential  for  effective  control.  Calibrate  spray  equipment  to  deliver  the 
required  volume.  • Agitate,  stir  or  recirculate  all  carbaryl  formulations  prior  to  use.  Corn:  Treat  entire  plant  for  larvae  in 
whorls  or  foliage  feeders.  Spray  in  25-30  cm  band  over  the  row  for  climbing  cutworms.  Apply  at  2-4  day  intervals,  if 
necessary,  for  insects  attacking  silks  and  ears;  start  when  first  silks  appear  and  continue  until  silks  begin  to  dry  (3  or  more 
applications  may  be  needed).  Alfalfa  Weevil:  If  pre-treatment  damage  is  extensive,  cut  and  make  application  to  stubble. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  A carbamate  insecticide  which  works  by  contact  and  ingestion.  Moderate  to  rapid  in  speed  of  action  with 
short  to  moderate  residual  effectiveness  (2  days  to  4 weeks)  depending  on  crop /pest  complex,  formulation  and  climatic 
conditions. 


EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Some  immediate  control  is  expected  but  the  majority  of  control  occurs  24-48  hours  after  application. 


EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Do  not  apply  just  before  rain. 

XLR:  Under  low  humidity,  at  least  1 hour  drying  is  adequate.  Spray  must  dry  on  foliage  to  have  wash  off  resistance. 
Maximum  resistance  to  wash  off  is  obtained  with  a 1:1  (XLR:Water)  dilution. 

XLR-Plus:  Maximum  resistance  to  wash  off  is  obtained  in  the  range  of  1:1-1:39  (XLR-Plus:Water)  dilution. 

50W/80S:  Do  not  apply  to  wet  foliage  or  when  rain  or  high  humidity  is  expected  during  the  next  2 days. 

Chipman  Sevin:  Plant  injury  may  occur  on  tender  feliage  when  prolonged  misty  rain  or  high  humidity  follows  spraying. 

MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  None. 

GRAZING  AND  HARVEST  RESTRICTIONS:  Pre-harvest  or  pre-grazing  interval  (days):  Barley,  oats,  rye,  wheat  (14);  corn  (1); 
potatoes  (7).  Alfalfa,  clovers,  forage  grasses,  pasture,  rangeland,  non-crop  areas  (0).  Remove  cattle  from  area  to  be 
sprayed.  Cattle  may  graze  immediately  after  application.  Treated  forage  and  feed  crops  may  be  fed  to  dairy  animals  and 
animals  for  slaughter  provided  sprays  are  applied  as  directed. 

TOXICITY:  Moderate  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (540).  Although  carbaryl  is  toxic  to  honey 
bees,  Sevin  XLR  and  XLR-Plus  have  a reduced  honey  bee  hazard  warning;  do  not  apply  directly  to  foraging  bees. 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  protective  gear  to  avoid  contact  with  skin  and  eyes  - do  not  inhale  spray  mist.  Except  for 
the  XLR  formulation,  carbaryl  should  not  be  applied  to  crops  in  bloom.  XLR  can  be  applied  when  bees  are  not  foraging 
provided  the  residue  on  the  plants  is  dry  before,  foraging  commmences.  Symptoms  of  poisoning:  Salivation,  tearing, 
urination,  defication,  pinpoint  pupils,  muscle  spasms,  general  muscular  weakness,  nausea,  prostration,  convulsions. 

First  Aid:  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting 
(see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention  immediatefy.  IN  EMERGENCY,  phone  collect  (24  hours  a day)  1-(51 4)645-531 1.  For 
Physician:  Carbaryl  insecticide  is  a moderate,  reversible,  cholinesterase  inhibitor.  Atropine  is  antidotai.  Do  not  use  2-PAM 
opiates,  or  cholinesterase  inhibiting  drugs.  '

APPLICATION  TIPS:  • To  reduce  injury  to  bees,  restrict  time  of  application  to  after  dark  or  in  the  early  morning.  Do  not 
apply  during  full  bloom  of  alfalfa.  • Repeated  applications  to  potatoes  may  lead  to  excessive  aphid  populations,  apply  on 
when  required.  • Coverage  of  sunflower  heads  is  essential. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  A non-systemic  organophosphate  insecticide.  Works  by  contact  and  ingestion. 

EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Do  not  apply  when  rain  is  imminent.  Do  not  apply  where  runoff  is  likely  to  occur. 

GRAZING  AND  HARVEST  RESTRICTIONS:  Pre-harvest  interval  (days):  alfalfa  (10),  canola  (30),  potatoes  (14),  sunflowers 
(50).  Do  not  harvest  alfalfa  for  feed  or  hay  or  allow  livestock  to  graze  within  10  days  of  application.  Do  not  feed  or  allo\ 
livestock  to  graze  on  treated  canola,  mustard,  or  sunflower. 

TOXICITY:  High  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = technical  (25-54),  Supracide  (31-91).  Toxic  t 
bees,  fish,  birds,  and  other  wildlife. 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Do  not  get  in  eyes,  on  skin  or  clothing.  Wear  goggles  or  face  shield  and  rubber  gloves  when 
mixing.  Do  not  inhale  spray  mist.  Wear  a respirator  during  prolonged  use.  Change  clothing  daily.  Do  not  re-enter  the 
treated  field  on  day  of  application.  A minimum  3 day  re-entry  period  for  foraging  bees  is  necessary.  Symptoms  of 
poisoning:  Headache,  dizziness,  blurred  vision,  weakness,  nausea,  cramps,  diarrhea,  discomfort  in  chest,  sweating, 
salivation,  pulmonary  edema,  cyanosis,  uncontrollable  muscle  twitches,  loss  of  reflexes,  convulsions,  coma.  First  Aid:  IF

Incorporation:  Furrow  Treatment:  Apply  granules  with  seed  in  the  planting  furrow  and  cover  with  soil.  Band  Treatment:  At 
! planting,  apply  granules  in  a 20  cm  wide  band  and  work  into  the  soil  or  cover  with  soil  to  a depth  of  10  cm.  Plant  seed 
I pieces  in  the  treated  zone.  Side  Dressing:  At  post-emergence,  drill  granules  at  a depth  of  8-20  cm  (usually  2.5-5  cm  below 
the  seed  pieces)  on  both  sides  of  the  row,  5-10  cm  from  the  row. 

j5.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Calibrate  and  adjust  application  equipment  to  insure  proper  rate  and  accurate  placement.  • Do  not  mix 
! granules  directly  with  water.  • Deep  disc  spills  at  row  ends  immediately  to  prevent  birds  from  feeding  on  exposed  granules. 

! • Do  not  apply  to  crops  in  bloom.  • Do  not  apply  to  very  dry  soil  unless  treatment  is  followed  by  irrigation. 

L HOW  IT  WORKS:  Aldicarb  is  a soil-applied,  systemic,  carbamate  insecticide.  Soil  moisture  is  required  to  release  the  active 
, chemical  from  the  granules  (corn  cob  grits)  so  irrigation  or  rainfall  should  follow  application.  Uptake  by  roots  is  rapid; 

' residual  activity  varies  with  dosage  and  pests  involved  but  often  lasts  more  than  6 weeks. 

).  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Active  ingredient  is  rapidly  absorbed  by  root  systems  and  translocated  upwards  throughout  all  parts 
of  the  plant.  Residual  activity  varies  with  dosage  and  pests  involved,  but  often  lasts  more  than  6 weeks. 

).  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Not  effected  by  rainfall. 

?.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  The  following  environmental  conditions,  when  present  and  in  combination  reduce  the  rate  of 
! degradation  of  Temik  in  soil  and  may  allow  movement  of  product  residues  to  ground  waters:  • Cool  soil  temperatures  at 
! time  of  application  (below  10°C  in  root  zone).  • Heavy  anticipated  seasonal  rainfall  within  1 month  after  use.  • Sandy  or 
i loamy  sand  soils  and  subsoils  (field  moisture  holding  capacity  less  than  15%  by  volume)  with  low  organic  matter  (less  than 
I 1%  in  top  30  cm  of  soil).  • Acidic  subsoils  (pH  less  than  6.0).  • Fields  that  overlie  shallow  water  tables  less  than  15  m 
deep.  When  all  of  the  above  conditions  are  met,  do  NOT  apply.  Contact  May  & Baker  (1-403-253-8471)  if  there  is  any 
I question  of  whether  your  location  meets  these  conditions. 

L GRAZING  AND  HARVEST  RESTRICTIONS:  Pre-harvest  interval  (days):  potatoes,  sugar  beets  (90).  Do  not  harvest  sugar 
I beet  tops  for  livestock  feed  within  120  days  of  application.  Do  not  use  tops  from  treated  beets  as  food  for  humans.  Do  not 
I use  plant  parts  for  food  or  feed.  Do  not  plant  food  crops  in  soil  treated  with  Temik  for  at  least  1 year  after  treatment. 

f.  TOXICITY:  High  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (0.9).  Toxic  to  fish,  birds,  and  other  wildlife.

Remove  contaminated  clothing  and  shoes.  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  For  Physician:  Give  atropine 
' intramuscularly  or  intravenously  depending  on  severity  of  poisoning,  2-4  mg  every  10  minutes  until  fully  atropinized.  20-30 
mg,  or  more  may  be  required  during  the  first  24  hours.  Never  give  opiates  or  phenothiazine  tranquillizers  or  other 
depressants.  Clear  chest  by  postural  drainage.  Artificial  respiration  or  oxygen  administration  may  be  necessary.  Observe 
patient  continously  for  at  least  48  hours.  Repeated  exposure  to  cholinesterase  inhibitors  may,  without  warning,  cause 
increasing  susceptibility  to  very  small  doses  of  any  cholinesterase  inhibitor.  Allow  no  further  exposure  to  any  cholinesterase 
inhibitor  until  cholinesterase  regeneration  has  taken  place.  Pralidoxime  chloride  (2-PAM:  Protopam  chloride)  may  be 
effective  as  an  adjunct  to  atropine.  Use  according  to  label  directions.

CHEMICAL  CONTROL  OF  PLANT  DISEASES  IN  ALBERTA 


Toduction 


ants,  like  other  living  organisms,  are  attacked  by  many  diseases  that  are  caused  by  fungi,  bacteria,  viruses,  mycoplasmas  and 
natodes.  The  management  of  plant  diseases  is  based  on  four  general  parameters  that  include: 

Exclusion  or  quarantine,  i.e.  prevention  of  a disease  organism  or  diseased  plant  material  from  entering  a country  or 
«ease-free  area  where  the  disease  could  become  established; 

Protection  whereby  proper  sanitation  practices,  chemical  controls,  adequate  soil  nutrient  levels  and  good  soil  drainage  may  be 
ted  to  protect  plants  from  disease  organisms; 

Eradication  involving  the  use  of  crop  rotations  or  the  application  of  eradicant  chemicals  such  as  fungicides;  and 
Plant  breeding  whereby  crop  plants  are  selected  for  partial  or  complete  resistance  to  a specific  disease  or  range  of  infectious 
peases. 

lemical  Control  of  Disease 

Alberta,  fungal  diseases  of  some  field  crops  may  be  subject  to  direct  chemical  control  by  fungicides.  Control  of  most  other  field 
bp  diseases  rely  on  alternate  methods.  The  major  use  of  fungicides  in  these  crops  at  present  is  in  the  treatment  of  seeds 
tereal,  forage,  oilseed)  and  potato  seed  pieces.  This  situation  may  change  in  the  near  future  as  grain  growers  move  to  adopt 
!)re  intensive  crop  management  studies  in  an  attempt  to  increase  meagre  profit  margins. 

present  foliar  fungicides  are  registered  for  sclerotinia  white  mold  control  in  canola,  cereal  leaf  diseases,  field  beans,  and  foliar 
jeases  of  potatoes.  For  convenience,  dual  purpose  treatments  with  the  insecticide  lindane,  used  in  seed-treatment  formulations, 
ve  been  included  in  this  chapter  on  fungicides.  For  principles  and  procedures  involving  the  use  of  plant  disease  control 
emicals,  follow  the  information  outlined  in  the  first  section  of  this  guide.

WARNING  POISON 


CROPS:  Barley  (except  Palliser),  flax,  oats,  potatoes,  rye,  sugar  beets,  wheat. 

FUNGI  CONTROLLED: 

bunt  (rye,  wheat)  early/late  blight  (potatoes)  net  blotch  (barley)  stinking  smut  (wheat) 

covered  smut  (barley,  oats)  false  loose  smut  (barley)  root  rot  (cereals) 

damping-off  (flax,  sugar  beets)  loose  smut  (oats)  seedling  blight  (cereals) 

WHEN  USED:  Pre-seeding  or  Drill  Box  Treatment:  Treat  seed  before  sowing.  Seed  should  be  well  cured,  dry,  and  cleam 
before  treatment.  Do  not  store  treated  grain  more  than  1 year.  Potatoes:  Apply  early  (when  plants  are  15  cm  high)  and 
treat  at  7-10  day  intervals  throughout  the  season.  Shorten  interval  to  5-7  days  when  weather  favours  disease. 

HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Protective  equipment,  using  standard  dry  seed  treatment  methodology  described. 

Pre-seeding  Treatment:  Apply  with  any  standard  dry  seed  treatment  application  equipment  or  the  shovel  method.  Drill  8< 
Treatment:  At  the  start,  treat  enough  seed  in  a separate  container  to  cover  bottom  of  empty  drill  box.  Mix  product  and 
seed  thoroughly  until  seed  is  a uniform  colour  by  the  following  alternate  mixing  methods  (Do  NOT  mix  with  hands): 

(a)  Place  and  level  1/2  of  the  seed  in  drill  box  and  sprinkle  1/2  of  the  required  amount  of  product  uniformly  over  seed.  K 
thoroughly  with  a paddle.  Fill  box  with  seed  and  sprinkle  remaining  1/2  of  product  over  seed,  mix  again.  OR  (b)  Dribble  t 
required  amount  of  product  into  seed  as  it  is  poured  into  drill  box.  Thoroughly  mix  with  a paddle  when  drill  box  is  1/2  full 


and  again  when  full.  OR  (c)  Apply  through  a mechanical  dispenser  or  proportioner  that  attaches  to  the  auger  that  convey.

APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Treat  only  the  amount  of  seed  to  be  sown  to  avoid  the  problem  of  storing  treated  seed.  • Slurry 
treatment  not  recommended  for  flax.  • Calibrate  treater  prior  to  treating  seed.  Use  only  recommended  rates.  Lower  amour 
may  not  give  the  desired  control.  Excessive  amounts  may  cause  seed  injury. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  Maneb  is  a fungicide,  effective  against  many  seedling  and  foliar  diseases. 

GRAZING  AND  HARVEST  RESTRICTIONS:  Pre-harvest  interval  (days):  potatoes  (1).  Do  not  feed  treated  seed  to  livestock. 
Do  not  expose  treated  seed  to  birds  and  other  wildlife. 

TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = maneb  (6,750). 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Protective  Equipment:  Wear  a dust  mask,  goggles,  long-sleeved  shirt,  rubber  or  PVC  gloves 
and  rubber  or  PVC  apron  when  handling  product.  Wash  thoroughly  after  handling  or,  before  eating  or  smoking.  Ventilate 
indoor  working  area.  Do  not  apply  or  allow  to  drift  to  areas  occupied  by  unprotected  persons  or  to  streams,  lakes  or  pon( 
to  protect  wildlife.  Avoid  contamination  of  feed  or  food,  including  such  crops  on  which  residue  is  unsafe.  Keep  away  from 
fire  and  sparks.  Stored  treated  grain  should  be  labelled  “Do  not  use  for  food  or  feed.  This  seed  has  been  treated  wit

FUNGI  SUPPRESSED:  Leaf  stripe  (barley),  net  blotch  (barley),  root  rots  (barley,  wheat). 


WHEN  USED:  Apply  directly  to  the  seed  in  the  hopper  box  or  seed  drill  at  planting.  Fiax:  Must  be  treated  and  left  to  dry 
before  seeding.  If  flax  is  treated  directly  in  the  drillbox  it  will  be  too  wet  to  flow  properly. 


HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Apply  directly  to  seed  in  hopper  box  or  seed  drill  with  premeasured  amount  of  seed.  Fiax:  Cement  mixer  or  similar 
equipment.  At  the  start,  treat  enough  seed  in  a separate  container  to  cover  bottom  of  empty  drill  box.  Apply  the  proper 
amount  of  Anchor  evenly  over  the  surface  of  the  seed.  Do  NOT  pour  in  one  area.  Mix  with  stick  or  paddle  until  all  seed  is 
of  a uniform  red  colour.  Do  NOT  mix  with  hands.  Repeat  this  procedure  until  the  hopper  or  seed  drill  is  filled.  Except  for

Water  Volume:  Do  NOT  dilute  with  water. 


APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Do  not  apply  with  commercial  seed  treating  equipment  or  through  an  auger  as  excessive  seed 
wetness  may  result.  • Stir  Anchor-treated  seed  vigorously  if  the  seeding  has  been  interrupted  for  several  hours  or  overnight. 
• Seeding  rate  can  be  affected  by  seed  treatments.  Seeding  rates  should  be  checked  at  the  beginning  of  the  seeding 
operation  and  adjustments  made  accordingly.  • Left-over  treated  seed  should  not  be  stored,  but  should  be  double-sown 
around  the  headlands. 


HOW  IT  WORKS:  Carbathiin,  a systemic  fungicide,  moves  into  the  germinating  seed  to  provide  disease  protection  within  the 
seedling.  Thiram,  a contact  fungicide,  surrounds  the  seed  with  a coat  of  protection  from  diseases  that  come  into  contact 
with  the  seed. 

GRAZING  AND  HARVEST  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  use  treated  seed  for  feed,  food,  or  oil  processing.  Do  not  graze  or  feed 
livestock  on  treated  areas  for  4 weeks  after  planting. 

TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  „ rats  (mg /kg)  = carbathiin  (3,820),  thiram  (780-865),  Anchor 
(6,370). 


PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Work  in  a well  ventilated  area.  Wear  rubber  gloves  and  goggles.  Do  not  consume  alcohol  within 
24  hours  before  or  after  working  with  thiram;  may  cause  flushing,  sweating,  headache,  and  nausea.  Wash  hands  and 
exposed  skin  before  eating,  drinking,  or  smoking.  KEEP  OUT  OF  REACH  OF  CHILDREN.  Symptoms  of  poisoning:  Skin 
contact  may  cause  irritation  and  dermatitis.  First  Aid:  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see 
page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention.  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Keep  the  patient  quiet.  Get  medical 
attention  immediately. 

STORAGE:  Do  not  store  in  direct  sunlight.  Do  not  store  below  0°C  or  over  35°C.

• Reduced  control  can  be  expected  in  fields  where  volunteers  from  the  previous  year’s  crop  act  as  a source  of  infection. 
Consult  your  provincial  specialist  for  recommendations. 

8.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  A systemic  and  is  translocated  to  the  early  seedling  stage  of  the  potato  plant. 

9.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Under  cool,  wet  conditions,  Easout  may  improve  overall  emergence  due  to  protecting  the  tuber  and 
seedling  from  Fusarium  and  seed  piece  decay. 

10.  GRAZING  AND  HARVEST  RESTRICTIONS:  Due  to  the  nature  of  the  crop,  this  would  not  be  applicable. 

11.  TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = technical  (7,500),  Easout  (non-toxic). 

12.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii).  Avoid  inhalation  of  dust.  Wash  hands  and 
face  after  handling.  KEEP  OUT  OF  REACH  OF  CHILDREN.  Do  not  contaminate  domestic  or  irrigation  water  supplies,  lakes

CROPS:  canola,  mustard. 

FUNGI  CONTROLLED:  Blackleg  {Leptosphaeria  maculans)  in  canola.  Pre-emergent  seedling  blight  and  seed  decay  in 
canola,  mustard. 

INSECTS  CONTROLLED:  Flea  beetles 

WHEN  USED;  Pre-seeding  or  Drill  Box  Treatment  - treat  seed  before  sowing.  Gammasan”*”  dry  treated  seed  may  be  stor 
for  several  months.  Oil  dressed  seed  should  be  sown  within  1 week  of  treating. 

HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Pre-seeding  Treatment:  Preferred  method.  Treat  seed  in  an  end-over-end  drum-type  seed  treater  or  a cement  mix< 
Drill  Box  Treatment:  Follow  directions  carefully,  mis-application  may  result  in  drill  plugging.  At  the  start,  treat  enough  se 
in  a separate  container  to  cover  bottom  of  empty  drill  box.  Mix  powder  and  thoroughly  until  seed  is  a uniform  colour  by 
either  of  the  following  alternate  mixing  methods  (Do  NOT  mix  with  hands):  (a)  Place  and  level  1/2  of  the  seed  in  drill  or 
planter  box  and  sprinkle  1/2  the  required  powder  uniformly  over  surface.  Mix  thoroughly  with  a paddle,  then  fill  the  box 
with  seed  and  sprinkle  the  remaining  1/2  powder  over  the  seed  and  mix.  OR  (b)  Dribble  775  g of  powder  into  each  25  k 
of  seed  as  it  is  poured  into  the  drill  box.  Thoroughly  mix  with  a lath  or  paddle  when  the  drill  box  is  1/2  full  and  again  wf 
full. 

Rate:

APPLICATION  TIPS:  • With  high  rate,  use  150  mL  mineral  oil  or  linseed  oil  as  a sticker  per  25  kg  seed.  Churn  or  mix  the 
seed  and  oil  then  add  powder  and  mix  again.  • Use  high  rate  only  with  planting  equipment  that  can  be  adjusted  to 
compensate  for  increased  seed  coating. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  Benomyl  systemic  fungicide  protects  against  blackleg.  Captan  fungicide  protects  young  plants  against  r 
and  seedling  blight.  Lindane  organochlorine  insecticide  which  acts  by  ingestion,  contact  and,  to  a lesser  extent,  by  fumig 
action  against  many  soil-dwelling  insects. 

EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Insects:  Provides  protection  against  flea  beetles  during  germination  and  early  emergence  only. 

GRAZING  AND  HARVEST  RESTRICTIONS;  Do  not  leave  treated  seed  exposed  to  birds  or  other  animals.

lindane  (88-270).  Lindane  is  toxic  to  fish,  birds,  and  other  animals.  Poisonous  if  swallowed,  inhaled  or  absorbed  through 
the  skin. 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  a respirator,  goggles,  rubber  gloves,  and  long  sleeved  clothing.  Work  in  a well  ventilate 
area.  Wash  thoroughly  after  handling  and  before  eating  or  smoking.  Stored  seed  should  be  labelled  “Do  not  use  for  foe 
feed,  or  oil  processing.  This  seed  treated  with  benomyl+captan+ lindane.  POISONOUS  TO  MAN  AND  ANIMALS.” 
KEEP  OUT  OF  REACH  OF  CHILDREN.  Symptoms  of  poisoning:  Lindane  - nausea,  vomiting,  hyperirritability,  convulsions, |j 
coma.  Skin  contact  with  fungicides  may  result  in  irritation  and  dermatitis.  First  Aid:  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standa 
first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Give  epsom  salts  as  a laxative,  av 
mineral  oils  and  castor  oil.  Get  medical  attention.  For  Physician:  Lindane  is  an  organochlorine  insecticide.  Barbiturates  n 
be  given  to  control  convulsions.  Oxygen  may  be  indicated.  Avoid  use  of  morphine  and  adrenalin. 

STORAGE:  Do  not  store  in  the  home  or  near  food  or  feed.  NEVER  allow  product  to  become  wet  during  storage  (this  may

APPLICATION  TIPS: 

• Use  only  recommended  rates.  Lower  amounts 

may  not  give  the  desired  control.  Excessive  amounts 

may  cause  seed  injury.  • Avoid  very  deep  seeding  and  exceptionally  early  sowing  under  poor  growing  conditions  for 
maximum  benefits. 

HOW  IT  WORKS:  Maneb  is  a protective,  seed-treatment  fungicide.  Lindane  is  an  organochlorine  insecticide  that  works  by 
ingestion,  contact  and,  to  a lesser  extent,  by  fumigant  action  against  many  soil-dwelling  insects. 

GRAZING  AND  HARVEST  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  feed  treated  grain  to  livestock.  Do  not  leave  treated  seed  exposed  to 
birds,  and  other  wildlife. 

TOXICITY:  High  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = maneb  (6,750),  lindane  (88-270).  Lindane  is 
toxic  to  fish,  birds,  and  other  wildlife. 

PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  dust  mask,  goggles,  and  gloves.  Work  in  a well  ventilated  area.  Wash  thoroughly  after 
handling  or  before  eating  or  smoking.  Any  treated  stored  grain  should  be  labelled  “Do  not  use  for  food  or  feed.  This 
seed  treated  with  maneb^ lindane.  POISONOUS  TO  MAN  AND  ANIMALS."  KEEP  OUT  OF  REACH  OF  CHILDREN. 
Symptoms  of  poisoning:  Lindane  - may  include  nausea,  vomiting,  hyperirritability,  convulsions,  coma,  and  other  symptoms 
typical  of  organochlorine  insecticide  poisoning.  Skin  contact  with  maneb  may  produce  irritation  or  dermatitis.  First  Aid:  IF 
IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi). 
Give  epsom  salts  as  a laxative,  avoid  mineral  oils  and  castor  oil.  Get  medical  attention.  For  Physician:  Lindane  is  an 
organochlorine  insecticide.  Barbiturates  may  be  given  to  control  convulsions.  Oxygen  may  be  indicated.  Keep  patient  quiet. 
Avoid  use  of  morphine  and  adrenaline. 

STORAGE:  Do  not  store  in  or  around  the  home,  or  near  food  or  feed.  Keep  away  from  fire  and  sparks.  NEVER  allow 
product  to  become  wet  during  storage.  This  may  lead  to  chemical  changes  which  will  reduce  the  effectiveness  of  fungicide

1.  FORMULATIONS:  Emulsifiable  Concentrate;  250  g/L;  4 X 4 L jugs. 

2.  REGISTERED  MIXES:  None. 

3.  CROPS:  Barley,  wheat  (Durum,  spring,  winter). 

4.  FUNGI  CONTROLLED: 

leaf  rust  (wheat)  powdery  mildew  (wheat)  Septoria  spp.  (wheat)  stripe  (wheat) 

net  blotch  (barley)  scald  (barley)  stem  rust  (wheat)  tan  spot  (wheat) 

5.  WHEN  USED:  Barley:  Apply  when  disease  begins  to  develop  at,  or  after  the  time  of  flag  leaf  emergence  until  just  before 
the  ear  is  emerged.  If  none  of  the  diseases  listed  above  have  developed  by  flag  leaf  emergence,  only  1 late  application 
just  prior  to  ear  emergence  is  required.  Wheat:  Apply  when  disease  begins  to  develop  at  the  time  of  flag  leaf  emergence. 

A second  application  from  just  before  ear  emergence  until  the  ear  is  half  emerged  is  required  to  provide  season-long 
control  if  weather  conditions  favor  disease  development.  If  none  of  the  diseases  listed  have  developed  by  flag  leaf 
emergence,  only  1 late  application  is  required  just  prior  to  ear  emergence  and  up  to  half  ear  emergence. 

6.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Ground  equipment. 

Rate:  200  mL/ac. 

Water  Volume:  40-160  L/ac.  Optimum  80  L/ac. 

Pressure:  275  kPa 
Nozzles:  Flat  fan. 

7.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  Good  coverage  is  essential  for  effective  disease  control. 

8.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Partially  systemic.  Tilt  is  transported  upwards  in  plants.  It  cures  and  eradicates  activity.  Length  of  control 
will  vary  from  3-4  weeks  depending  on  disease,  crop,  and  environmental  conditions. 

9.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  If  rainfall  occurs  within  2 hours  of  application,  reapplication  is  necessary. 

0.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Strongly  absorbed  to  most  soil.  Studies  show  that  Tilt  remains  in  the  upper  layers  of  the  soil  and  very 
little  to  no  leaching  occurs. 

1.  GRAZING  AND  HARVEST  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  feed  straw  from  treated  crops  to  livestock.  Last  application  must  be  made 
prior  to  45  days  before  harvest. 

2.  TOXICITY:  Low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = technical  (1,517),  Tilt  (2,105).  Toxic  to  fish. 

3.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  standard  protective  clothing  (see  page  xviii)  and  neoprene  gloves.  Avoid  breathing  spray 
mist  or  vapours.  Do  not  eat,  drink,  or  smoke  during  work.  Wash  hands  and  face  thoroughly  after  handling.  Launder 
contaminated  working  clothes  before  use.  KEEP  OUT  OF  REACH  OF  CHILDREN.  Symptoms  of  poisoning:  Irritation  of  eyes 
or  skin  can  result  from  overexposure.  Prolonged  or  repeated  inhalation  may  cause  headache,  dizziness,  or  nausea.  First 
Aid:  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention  if  irritation  persists.  IF 
SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce  vomiting.  Promptly  drink  a large  quantity  of  milk  or  gelatin  solution;  if  these  are  not 
available,  drink  large  quantities  of  water.  Get  medical  attention  immediately.  There  is  no  specific  antidote  for  this  product.

7.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Important  that  seed  and  chemical  are  mixed  quickly  and  uniformly.  • Prior  to  and  during  treatment, 
product  should  be  kept  at  about  10°C  for  best  results.  • Run  auger  at  less  than  capacity  to  provide  adequate  mixing. 

• Under  treatment  results  in  loss  of  efficacy  and  over  treatment  may  reduce  germination. 

8.  HOW  IT  WORKS;  Lindane  (an  organochlorine  insecticide)  acts  by  ingestion,  contact  and,  to  a lesser  extent,  by  fumigant 
action  against  many  soil-dwelling  and  phytophagous  insects.  Thiram,  a fungicide,  controls  seed-borne  diseases.  Carbathiin, 
a systemic  fungicide,  penetrates  the  seed  coat  to  control  diseases  of  the  seed  and  seedling. 

9.  GRAZING  AND  HARVEST  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  use  treated  seed  for  feed,  food,  or  oil  processing.  Do  not  graze  or  feed 
livestock  on  treated  areas  for  4 weeks  after  planting. 

10.  TOXICITY:  High  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = Vitavax  RS  (302);  carbathiin  (3,820),  thiram 
(780-865),  lindane  (88-270). 

11.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Read  the  label  before  using  any  product.  Work  in  a well  ventilated  area  and  wear  a dust  mask, 
goggles,  and  rubber  gloves.  Consumption  of  alcohol  24  hours  before  or  after  working  with  thiram  may  cause  sweating, 
flushing,  headache  and  nausea.  Label  stored,  treated  seed  with  "Do  not  use  for  food,  feed,  or  oil  processing.  This  seec 
has  been  treated  with  carbathiin+ thiram^ lindane.  POISONOUS  TO  MAN  AND  ANIMALS."  KEEP  OUT  OF  REACH  OF 
CHILDREN.  Symptoms  of  poisoning:  With  lindane  - nausea,  vomiting,  hyperirritability,  convulsions,  coma.  Skin  contact  with 
fungicides  may  result  in  irritation  and  dermatitis.  First  Aid:  IF  IN  EYES  - flush  immediately  with  running  water.  Get  medical 
attention.  IF  ON  SKIN  - wash  with  warm  water  and  soap.  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Keep  patient 
quiet.  Get  medical  attention  immediately.

product  and  seed  thoroughly  until  seed  is  a uniform  colour  with  a stick  or  paddle.  Do  NOT  mix  with  hands.  Fill  the  drill  or 
planter  box  to  1/2  capacity  and  sprinkle  1/2  the  required  amount  of  powder  over  the  seed  and  mix  thoroughly.  Seed 
should  all  be  pink.  Then  add  enough  seed  to  fill  the  box,  cover  with  the  remaining  powder  and  repeat  mixing  procedure. 
For  large  drill  or  planter  boxes,  it  may  be  necessary  to  divide  the  seed  into  several  portions.  Clean  planter  plates 
periodically  to  prevent  excessive  build-up  of  treatment  chemicals.

7.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Vitavax  Powder  has  no  vapor  action,  therefore  thorough  seed  coverage  is  required.  • Seeding  rate 
should  be  checked  before  planting  and  periodically  during  planting. 

8.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Thiram  is  a fungicide  which  controls  diseases  carried  on  the  seed.  Carbathiin  is  a systemic  fungicide 
which  penetrates  the  seed  coat  to  control  diseases  inside  the  seed  and  seedling. 

9.  GRAZING  AND  HARVEST  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  use  treated  seed  for  feed,  food,  or  oil  processing.  Do  not  graze  or  feed 
livestock  on  treated  areas  for  4 weeks  after  planting. 

10.  TOXICITY:  Moderate  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = carbathiin  : thiram  (1,600). 

11.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID;  Read  the  label  before  using  any  product.  Work  in  well  ventilated  area  and  wear  a dust  mask, 
goggles  and  gloves.  Do  not  consume  alcohol  within  24  hours  before  or  after  working  with  thiram;  may  cause  flushing, 
sweating,  headache,  and  nausea.  KEEP  OUT  OF  REACH  OF  CHILDREN.  Symptoms  of  poisoning:  Skin  contact  may  result 
in  irritation  and  dermatitis.  First  Aid:  IF  IN  EYES  - flush  immediately  with  running  water.  Get  medical  attention.  IF  ON  SKINj 
- wash  with  warm  water  and  pumice  soap  to  remove  dye.  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Keep  patient] 
quiet.  Get  medical  attention  immediately. 

12.  STORAGE:  Do  not  store  product  in  or  around  the  home  or  near  food  or  feed.  Store  powder  in  a dry  area.

“For  wheat  and  barley  varieties  highly  susceptible  to  true  loose  smut  and  for  high  levels  of  smut  or  bunt  on  seed,  the  75 
I mL  rate  will  give  increased  disease  control.  Treated  seed  will  give  increased  yields  for  crops  growing  under  stress 
conditions  such  as  disease,  cool  weather  and  drought. 

Water  Volume:  Do  NOT  dilute  with  water. 

8.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Run  auger  at  less  than  capacity  to  provide  adequate  mixing.  • Uniform  coverage  at  the  correct  rate  is 
important  for  satisfactory  results.  Under  treatment  results  in  loss  of  efficacy  and  over  treatment  may  reduce  germination. 

• Calibrate  seeding  equipment  using  treated  seed  to  ensure  proper  seeding  rate. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Carbathiin  a systemic  fungicide,  penetrates  the  seed  coat  to  control  disease. 

0.  GRAZING  AND  HARVEST  RESTRICTIONS:  Treated  seed  not  to  be  used  for  food,  feed,  or  oil  processing.  Do  not  graze  feed 
livestock  on  treated  areas  for  4 weeks  after  planting. 

]1.  TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = carbathiin  (3,820). 

2.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Read  the  label  before  using  any  product.  Work  in  a well  ventilated  area.  When  treating  seed, 
augering  or  handling  treated  seed,  wear  a dust  mask,  goggles,  and  butyl  rubber  gloves.  Do  not  get  in  eyes  or  on  skin. 

Avoid  breathing  vapours.  Do  not  reuse  bags  from  treated  seed  or  auger  used  for  treated  seed  for  other  purposes.  Label 
stored  treated  seed  “Do  not  use  for  food,  feed,  or  oil  processing.  This  seed  has  been  treated  with  carbathiin.”  KEEP 
OUT  OF  REACH  OF  CHILDREN.  First  Aid:  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF 
SWALLOWED  - do  NOT  induce  vomiting.  Get  medical  attention  immediately. 

3.  STORAGE:  Store  above  0°C.  Do  not  store  in  or  around  the  home.

CHEMICAL  CONTROL  OF  RODENTS  IN  ALBERTA 


ntroduction: 

Rodent  problems  are  usually  related  to  human  cultural  practises.  Understanding  how  to  modify  certain  activities  or  situations  will 
Ulp  prevent  or  reduce  problems  with  rodents.  For  example,  pastures  should  not  be  overgrazed  as  this  encourages  proliferation  of 
jround  squirrels.  Adequate  shelter  and  food  are  important  factors  for  mice  in  buildings  and  dwellings.  Mouse  numbers  can  be 
rastically  reduced  by  eliminating  their  shelter  and  food  source.  However,  not  all  rodent  problems  can  be  corrected  by 
nanagement  or  cultural  changes. 

hemical  control,  combined  with  management  and  cultural  modifications,  is  usually  necessary  to  eliminate  established  rodent 
opulations  and  prevent  recurrence. 

his  section  contains  information  on  chemicals  used  to  control  ground  hogs,  ground  squirrels,  mice,  pocket  gophers,  and  rabbits  in 
\lberta.

6.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

With:  Hand  application  to  bait  stations  or  burrows. 

Rate: 


Bait  Station 

Animal 

Formulation 

500  g/ station  every  30-60  m of  infested  area 
depending  on  animal  density. 

Ground  squirrel 

Pellets,  liquid  concentrate  on  grain 

15-50  g/ protected  station  at  intervals  of  2-3  m. 

Mice 

Meal,  pellets,  dust/powder,  liquid 
concentrate. 

1 or  2 blocks /station  at  intervals  of  2-3  m. 

Mice 

Bait  blocks 

One  11.3  g packet /L  of  water  in  chick  fountain  or 
shallow  dish  near  feeding  sites. 

Mice 

Soluble  granules 

Pour  100  mL  of  solution  into  shallow  dish  near  feeding  sites. 

Burrows 

Mice 

Solution 

15-20  g/ burrow 

Ground  squirrel 

Pellets,  liquid  concentrate  on  grain 

Number  of  Applications:  Brodifacoum  and  bromodialone  - 1 usually  effective.  Can  be  re-applied  after  1 week  if  mice  still 
present.  All  other  anticoagulants  - maintain  uninterrupted  supply  of  bait  until  feeding  ceases. 

7.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  Bait  Station:  Place  bait  in  inaccessible  areas  in  secure  bait  stations  that  cannot  be  turned  over  or 
broken  into  by  children,  pets,  or  wild  or  domestic  animals.  Burrows:  Place  bait  far  into  burrow  with  long  spoon.  This  makes 
it  inaccessible  to  non-target  animals. 

8.  HOW  THEY  WORK:  Anticoagulant  rodent  poisons:  interfere  with  clotting  of  blood  and  cause  damage  to  tiny  blood  vessels. 
They  prevent  formation  of  prothrombin  by  competition  with  vitamin  K.  Rate  of  blood  clotting  is  gradually  reduced  and  the 

I animal  bleeds  to  death.  Ergocalciferol  mobilizes  calcium  and  causes  death  from  organ  calcification  and  heart  attack. 
Suifaquinoxaiine  is  an  antibacterial  agent  that  increases  the  effectiveness  of  warfarin  by  inhibiting  intestinal  bacteria  that 

I produce  vitamin  K. 

9.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Rodents  usually  begin  to  die  3 to  4 days  after  they  ingest  anticoagulants. 

10.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Can  result  in  deterioration  and  molding  of  exposed  bait.  Extended  rainfall  will  also  effect  field 
rodent  activities,  reducing  bait  uptake. 

11.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Negligible  at  recommended  rates. 

1 2.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  Do  not  use  ground  squirrel  bait  stations  in  areas  accessible  to  livestock  or  pets. 

'3.  TOXICITY:  High  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg /kg)  = brodifacoum  (0.27),  bromodialone  (1.12), 
chlorophacinone  (5.0),  diphacinone  (2-:3),  warfarin  (50-100).  Potentially  toxic  to  birds  and  other  animals. 

4.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  gloves.  Wash  hands  after  use.  Label  bait  stations  “POISON”.  KEEP  OUT  OF  REACH  OF 
CHILDREN.  Symptoms  of  poisoning:  Pallor  and  weakness  from  blood  loss,  bloody  nose  and  feces,  internal  bleeding, 

I swelling  and  discolouration  from  blood  in  tissue.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi). 
IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Get  medical  attention. 

5.  STORAGE:  Store  in  locked  room  or  container.  Do  not  store  with  other  pesticides  or  chemicals;  rodents  are  repelled  by 
contaminated  bait.  Keep  bait  in  original  container.

GASEOUS  OXIDES  OF  SULPHUR  (gas  cartridges) 

Dexol/Sanex 


OANQEH  POISON 

1.  FORMULATIONS:  Granular  solid  within  cardboard  cylinder;  major  ingredients  - sodium  nitrate,  charcoal,  sulphur  (contains 
various  components  depending  on  manufacturer):  75-85  g /cylinder,  3 cylinder  package. 


2.  REGISTERED  MIXES:  None. 

3.  REGISTERED  USES:  Farmyards,  forage/field  crops,  gardens,  nurseries,  orchards,  outdoor  living  areas,  pasture/rangeland, 
residential  areas*,  turf. 

•Populated  areas,  such  as  cities  and  large  campgrounds. 

4.  ANIMALS  CONTROLLED:  Ground  hog,  ground  squirrel,  pocket  gopher. 

5.  WHEN  USED:  Spring  through  fall  when  rodents  are  active  and  causing  damage. 

6.  HOW  TO  APPLY:  Place  fuse  in  a sulphur  oxide  cartridge,  light  fuse  and  insert  cartridge  as  far  as  possible  into  rodent 
burrow.  When  cartridge  begins  to  burn,  plug  burrow  with  soil  to  prevent  smoke  from  escaping. 

Rate:  1 cartridge /rodent  burrow  is  usually  sufficient. 

7.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  During  gasing  operation,  watch  for  smoke  exiting  nearby  burrows  and  plug  these  also. 

8.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  As  a cartridge  ignites,  smoke  and  toxic  gases  are  produces  and  fill  the  rodents’  burrow.  Rodents  are 
killed  by  asphixiation  as  a result  of  breathing  the  toxic  fumes. 

9.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Death  of  rodents  inhabiting  burrows  that  were  treated.  Poor  results  may  be  expected  if:  Cartridges 
are  used  to  attempt  control  of  pocket  gophers  and  ground  squirrels  that  have  well  established  burrow  systems.  All  areas  ( 
an  extensive  burrow  system  will  not  be  penetrated  by  toxic  gases  from  a cartridge.  These  areas  provide  a retreat  for 
inhabiting  rodents. 

10.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  None.  , 

11.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  None. 

12.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  None. 

13.  TOXICITY:  High  acute  mammalian  toxicity  in  enclosed  area.  1000  mg/kg  of  carbon  monoxide,  a major  product  of 
combustion,  produces  symptoms  of  poisoning. 

14.  PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  gloves.  Avoid  prolonged  breathing  of  fumes.  Do  not  use  under  wooden  buildings  or 
flammable  material.  KEEP  OUT  OF  REACH  OF  CHILDREN.  Symptoms  of  poisoning:  Same  as  carbon  monoxide.  Tightne 
across  forehead,  headache,  throbbing  at  the  temples,  dizziness,  weariness,  nausea,  vomiting,  collapse,  and 
unconsiousness.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  INHALED  - remove  victim 
fresh  air  and  keep  him  lying  down.  If  breathing  has  stopped,  apply  artificial  respiration.  Get  medical  attention  promptly. 

15.  STORAGE:  Store  in  cool,  dry  place  as  cartridges  will  absorb  water.  Keep  under  lock  and  key.

QUINTOX,  RAMPAGE  [cholecalciferol  (Vitamin  D3)] 

Cev/Bell 


1.  FORMULATIONS:  Extruded  Pellets;  0.075%;  50  X 30  g place  pack,  8 X 30  g boxes,  5.5  lb  pail.  Treated  Seed;  0.075%;  10 
g place  packs,  5 lb  pail. 

2.  MARKETING  CATEGORY:  Commercial 

3.  REGISTERED  MIXES:  Use  as  directed  on  container  label. 

;4.  REGISTERED  USES:  Dwellings,  farm  buildings,  grainary  bins  (empty),  processing  plants  (non-food),  storage  areas  (non-food), 
' service  establishments  (non-food). 

5.  ANIMALS  CONTROLLED:  Mice,  voles  (meadow  mice). 

6.  WHEN  USED:  Any  time  of  year.  Number  of  applications:  Maintain  uninterrupted  supply  of  bait  until  feeding  ceases.  If 
reinfestation  occurs,  repeat  treatment.  If  a continuous  problem  exists,  establish  permanent  bait  stations  and  replenish  bait 
as  required. 

7.  HOW  TO  APPLY:  Place  1 bait  pack  at  2-3  m intervals  in  infested  area  or  place  up  to  20  g in  covered  bait  stations  at  2-3 
m intervals  in  the  problem  area. 

B.  APPLICATION  TIPS:  • Remove  alternative  food  sources  and  any  potential  living  areas  of  mice  as  best  as  possible  prior  to 
i bait  use.  • Place  bait  where  mice  will  find  it  such  as  along  walls,  near  gnawed  openings  or  beside  burrows,  or  generally 
I where  mice  or  their  signs  (i.e.  droppings,  tracks)  are  noticed.  • Protect  bait  from  rain,  snow,  or  other  moisture.  • Replace 
I old,  stale  bait. 

9.  HOW  IT  WORKS:  Cholecalciferol  mobilizes  calcium  from  the  bones  of  affected  rodents  into  the  bloodstream.  This  action 
j causes  hypercalcemia  and  death  from  heart  failure.  Feeding  stops  once  a lethal  dose  is  consumed.  Less  than  3 g of 
consumed  bait  is  sufficient  to  kill  a mouse. 

p.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  A lethal  dose  can  be  consumed  by  a mouse  in  one  feeding  but  usually  this  occurs  after  several 
' smaller  feedings  over  several  days.  Death  results  2 to  4 days  after  a lethal  dose  is  consumed. 

f.  EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  Rain,  snow,  or  other  moisture  will  cause  deterioration  and  moulding  of  bait  and  result  in  poor  bait 
acceptance  by  mice. 

i.  MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  Negligible  at  recommended  rates. 

i.  GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  None  if  applied  properly  at  recommended  rates. 

L TOXICITY:  Very  low  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = formulated  bait  0.075%  (5,800.)  Low 
I dermal  and  oral  toxicity  for  birds.  No  secondary  hazards  exist. 

. PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  gloves.  Wash  hands  after  use.  Label  bait  stations  “POISON".  KEEP  OUT  OF  REACH  OF 
CHILDREN,  DOMESTIC  ANIMALS,  AND  PETS.  Symptoms  of  poisoning:  Hypercalcemia.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use 
j standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - induce  vomiting  (see  page  xxi).  Avoid  use  of  all  oils.  Get 
I medical  attention  immediately. 

|.  STORAGE:  Store  under  lock  and  key,  in  original  containers.  Do  not  store  with  other  pesticides  or  chemicals;  rodents  are 
I repelled  by  contaminated  bait.

1.  FORMULATIONS:  Pellet;  0.35%;  454  g jar,  2.27  kg  bag,  18.2  kg  bag.  Liquid  Concentrate;  2%  and  5%;  250  mL  can,  36  X 
250  mL  pack. 

2.  MARKETING  CATEGORY:  Restricted.  A record  of  the  user’s  name,  address,  land  location  and  signature  must  be  kept  by 
distributors. 

3.  REGISTERED  MIXES:  Use  according  to  label. 

4.  REGISTERED  USES:  Forage/field  crops,  pasture/rangeland. 

5.  ANIMALS  CONTROLLED:  Ground  squirrel,  pocket  gopher. 

3.  WHEN  USED:  Best  results  when  used  in  early  spring  prior  to  vegetation  regrowth.  Number  of  applications:  Ground 

squirrel  - 1 application  often  effective.  Rebait  active  burrows  after  5 days.  Pocket  gopher  - Rebait  active  burrows  10-14 
days  after  initial  treatment.  If  burrow  builder  used  for  first  treatment,  hand  baiting  should  be  used  for  followup.  Use  traps 
for  final  clean-up. 

Rate:  Ground  squirrel:  Add  250  mL  can  of  2%  liquid  concentrate  to  4 L of  quality  oat  groats  or  wheat.  Mix  well.  Place  5 
mL  of  bait  into  each  burrow.  Pocket  gopher:  Add  250  mL  can  of  5%  liquid  concentrate  to  4 L of  quality  oat  groats,  wheat, 
or  diced  carrots.  Mix  well.  Place  5 mL  of  bait  into  each  burrow.  With  burrow  builder  use  about  1.11  L of  bait/ac. 

APPLICATION  TIPS:  Ground  squirrel:  Place  bait  far  into  burrow  with  long  spoon  to  prevent  non-target  poisoning.  Pick  up 
dead  rodents  to  prevent  poisoning  of  scavenging  animals.  Pocket  gopher:  Hand  baiting;  use  commercial  probe  or  metal  bar 
I to  locate  burrow.  Seal  each  probe  hole  after  bait  is  put  in.  Tractor-drawn  burrow  builder;  follow  machine  use  instructions. 

L HOW  IT  WORKS:  Enters  the  blood  and  acts  on  the  central  nervous  system.  Symptoms  appear  from  5-30  minutes  after 

ingestion.  Convulsions  lead  to  death  from  respiratory  failure. 

! ■ 

|.  EXPECTED  RESULTS:  Reduction  or  elimination  of  rodents  in  control  area.  Poor  result  may  occur  if:  Baiting  is  conducted  in 
summer  after  vegetation  growth  has  established.  Bait  acceptance  is  poor  at  this  time.  Bait  quality  and  poorly  mixed  bait 
will  also  effect  results. 

: L EFFECTS  OF  RAINFALL:  None  if  applied  correctly  within  burrows. 

* . MOVEMENT  IN  SOIL:  None  at  recommended  rates. 

. GRAZING  AND  CROPPING  RESTRICTIONS:  None  if  used  as  directed  and  no  bait  is  spilled  or  remains  above  ground. 

. TOXICITY:  High  acute  mammalian  toxicity.  Acute  oral  LD  rats  (mg/kg)  = (1-30).  Lethal  dose  to  man  30-60  mg/kg.  Toxic 
to  birds,  cattle,  and  other  animals. 

1 PRECAUTIONS,  FIRST  AID:  Wear  gloves.  Wash  hands  after  use.  Use  care  when  opening  cans  of  liquid  concentrate.  Label 
bait  container  “POISONOUS  TO  MAN  AND  ANIMALS.  This  bait  contains  strychnine.”  KEEP  OUT  OF  REACH  OF 
I CHILDREN.  Symptoms  of  poisoning:  Frequent  convulsions  with  intervals  of  quiescent  periods.  Body  stiffens  and  arches, 
breathing  stops.  IF  IN  EYES  or  ON  SKIN  - use  standard  first  aid  measures  (see  page  xxi).  IF  SWALLOWED  - less  than  10 
minutes  earlier,  induce  vomiting  with  water  then  finger  down  throat.  If  symptoms  have  begun,  do  NOT  induce  vomiting  as 
j this  will  initiate  convulsions  and  the  victim  may  choke.  Force  absolute  quiet.  Lie  victim  in  a darkened  room,  keep  quiet  and 
i warm.  Get  medical  attention  immediately. 

STORAGE:  Keep  bait  in  sealed,  well  marked  containers  prior  to  use  or  when  stored.  Keep  under  lock  and  key.  Do  not

storage  areas. 

4.  ANIMALS  CONTROLLED:  Ground  squirrel,  mice,  pocket  gopher,  voles. 

5.  WHEN  USED:  Deer  mice,  voles:  Apply  in  orchards  prior  to  snowfall  and  before  leaf  fall  and  lodging  of  grass.  Use  indoors 
within  bait  stations  according  to  label  and  as  necessary.  Ground  squirrel,  pocket  gopher:  For  best  results,  apply  in  early 
spring  before  vegetation  regrowth.  Number  of  applications:  Ground  squirrel:  Plug  all  burrows  5 days  after  treatment, 
rebait  opened  burrows  next  day.  Mice,  voles:  Inside  maintain  uninterrupted  supply  until  feeding  ceases.  Outside  re-apply 
after  2 weeks  if  mice  still  present.  Pocket  gopher:  Re-apply  after  10  days  where  rodents  still  active. 

6.  HOW  TO  APPLY: 

j With:  Bait  stations,  burrow  builder,  cyclone  seeder,  hand  baiting. 

Rate:  Ground  squirrels:  5 g far  into  each  burrow.  Mice,  voles:  Inside  areas,  place  5 g in  protected  bait  stations  every  2-4 
m.  Outdoor  areas,  apply  with  cyclone  spreader  at  405  g-1.6  kg/ac.  15  g around  trees.  If  hazard  to  other  animals  exists,
