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.

6.
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.

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.
1. Wash outside of sprayer and drain sprayer tank completely.
2. Remove and clean filters, screens, and nozzle tips separately.
3. Fill sprayer tank with clean water and with agitator running, flush out through the lines and booms for a
minimum of 10 minutes; then drain. If any visible residues of Ally or Glean remain inside the tank, repeat
clean water rinse cycle once more.
4. Fill sprayer tank with clean water and for each 100 L of water, add 0.5 L of chlorine bleach (5.25-6.0%
sodium hypochlorite). Flush through booms and hoses, then allow to sit for 15 minutes with agitator
running; then drain.
5. Repeat chlorine bleach wash cycle once more.
6. Fill sprayer tank with clean water and with agitator running, flush out lines and booms; then drain.
7. Repeat clean water rinse cycle once more.

(Sprayer cleanout when changing chemicals (other than Ally, Glean, or Glean mixes) or for storage
1. Wash outside of sprayer and drain sprayer tank completely.
2. Remove and clean filters, screens, and nozzle tips separately.
3. Fill sprayer tank with clean water and with agitator running, flush out through the lines and booms; then
drain.
4. Fill sprayer tank with clean water and for each 100 L of water add one of the following:
' *11 household ammonia OR, • 0.5 kg Nutrasol or Solventol OR, • 1 kg trisodium phosphate.
5. Operate the pump and agitator for about 15 minutes, by-passing the solution back into the tank.
6. If possible, let solution remain in tank and hoses overnight; then recirculate and flush out through lines
and booms; then drain.
7. Rinse out twice with clean water, recirculating, and draining each time.
1
At end of spraying season
1. Add light oil or antifreeze during the final stage of last rinsing to leave a protective coating on all internal
parts.
2. Remove pump and store indoors.
3. Close all openings into the sprayer to prevent entry of debris or rodents.
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.

1
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.
XIV
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;

|| 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,
I5£. difficulty in breathing, flushed or yellow skin, abdominal cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, tearing from eyes, profound
weakeness, rapid pulse, cough.
^ Severe poisoning symptoms: Severe symptoms are ofter more specific and require immediate hospital
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,

FIRST AID
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
1-416-528-6771 1-416-356-8310 1-314-694-1000 1-519-744-3060
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.
D
2
I
I
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 POISONING OF LIVESTOCK
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 .

Application Method: Afolan F - 80-160 L/ac except on shelterbelts and fruit trees - directed spray required. Afolan
F+MCPA Amine - 40 L/ac water - 275 kPa - 9 km/h. Screens 50 mesh or larger - 80° flat fan nozzles - adequate
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.
4
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.

CAUTION POISON
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.

! 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

*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.

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.

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.

2. REGISTERED MIXES: None.
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

b. HOW TO APPLY:
With: Aircraft or Ground equipment. Do not apply Carbyne + Avenge mix by air.
Rate: 600-700 mL/ac; Sugar beets - 810-1415 mL/ac. Higher rate when the wild oat density is 50 plants/m^ or more, or
when wild oats are not actively growing, or when wild oats have been injured by frost or wind.
! Carbyne+ Avenge 200-C Mix: 340 mL/ac Carbyne + 810 mL/ac Avenge 200-C.
I Water Volume: Aircraft: 10-18 L/ac; Ground: 18 L/ac. Carbyne+ Avenge: (Ground only) 25-30 L/ac
' Pressure: 300 kPa (minimum)
I Nozzles: TeeJet 650067, 730067, 800067; Delavan LF.67-65, LF. 77-73, LF.67-80 Spray Jet 65.067, TK.75 or D.75.
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

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.

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

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.
16. STORAGE: Keep out of direct sunlight.

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.

during fallow season. Non-crop areas - Post-emergence to young actively growing weeds. Do not apply to frozen ground
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;

!. APPLICATION TIPS: • Higher spray volumes required for dense crop canopy and/or large weeds. • Hoe-Grass 284 tank mix
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.

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.

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.

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

HOE-GRASS 284 (diclofop-methyl)
Hoechst
CORROSIVE
1. FORMULATIONS: Emulsifiable Liquid; 284 g/L; 20 L pail.
2. REGISTERED MIXES: Glean (6 g/ac only) [barley*, wheat (Durum, spring, winter)], Lontrel (405 mL/ac only)(canola),
Pardner or Torch DS [barley*, flax, wheat (Durum, spring)], Decis [barley*, canola, flax, mustard, potatoes, wheat (Durum,
spring, winter). NOTE: * Barley (except Betzes or Klages). Mixing Restrictions: Do not use surfactants in Glean mix. Mixing
with any broadleaf herbicide other than those registered on the Hoe-Grass 284 label will result in a reduction of grassy
weed control.
3. CROPS:
barley (8.2)(except Betzes,
Klages)
beans, dry common (8.8)
(only black, pinto, white)
beans, snap
buckwheat, tame (8.1)
canola (8.9)
carrots
4. WEEDS CONTROLLED: Wild oats (7.7), foxtail (green, yellow)(7.6), barnyard grass (8.0), Persian darnel (7.0), volunteer
corn.
5. WEEDS SUPPRESSED: None
6. WHEN USED: WEEDS - Barnyard grass, foxtail, wild oats: 1-4 leaf. Persian darnel: 1-3 leaf. Volunteer corn: 15-25 cm.
CROPS - Barley: 1-4 leaf, prior to tillering. Forages: Only in year of establishment; cannot use for food or feed. Wheat:
No leaf stage restriction.
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.

HYVAR X (bromacil)
DuPont
1. FORMULATIONS: Wettable Powder; Hyvar X; 80%; 2 kg, 25 kg bags. Water Soluble Liquid; Hyvar X-L; 240 g/L; 4 L, 10 L
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.

Use higher rate for balsam fir, cherry, hemlock, largetooth aspen, white spruce.
Water Volume: 200-1,200 L of spray solution /ac to point of runoff.
8. APPLICATION TIPS: Do not apply to food crops. A non-ionic surfactant is required to control most conifers and to control
the root suckering of deciduous brush.
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.

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.

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.
Rate:
Weeds mL/ac

Buckwheat, Canada thistle (season-long control), perennial sow-thistle (top growth control), 400
scentless chamomile.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 (

1. FORMULATIONS: Emulsifiable Concentrate; Rival 500 EC; 500 g/L; 9 L jug. Granular; Rival 10G; 10.0%; 22.7 kg bag.
2. REGISTERED MIXES: Rival 10G: None. Rival 500 EC: Avadex BW, Avadex BW + liquid fertilizer, liquid fertilizer. Mix
Restrictions: Add Rival 500 EC or Rival 500 EC + Avadex directly into the liquid fertilizer, mix thoroughly and apply
immediately after mixing. Agitate until application is complete.
3. CROPS: Rival 500 EC: Barley, wheat (Durum, spring). Rival 10G: Barley only. Underseeding: Not recommended.
4. WEEDS CONTROLLED: Rival 500 EC: Green foxtail. Rival 10G: See Rival (Oilseeds).
5. WEEDS SUPPRESSED: None
6. WHEN USED: Rival 500 EC: Alone or with Avadex BW in the spring only after seeding and prior to emergence of crop.
Rival 10G: Fall only, September 1 to soil freeze-up. Warning: Do not apply Rival 10G for barley on land treated with
trifluralin products since June 1 of the previous year.
7. HOW TO APPLY:
With: Ground equipment.
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.

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.

FORMULATIONS: Water Soluble Liquid; 108 g/L glyphosate + 182 g/L 2,4-D isopropylamine salt. 10 L containers.
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:
cereals, volunteer kochia mustard, wild rapeseed, volunteer
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
irritant. May cause allergic skin reaction. Non-toxic to bees and birds.
PRECAUTIONS, FIRST AID: Wear standard protective clothing and goggles to reduce skin and eye exposure. IF IN EYES o
ON SKIN - use standard first aid measures (see page xxi). IF SWALLOWED - induce vomiting (see page xxi). Get medica
attention.
STORAGE: Store above 5°C to keep product in solution. If crystals form, place in warm room (20°C). Roll or shake until
crystals have redissolved.

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.

L/ac.
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.

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

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
STORAGE; Heated storage is not required. If frozen, warm and agitate thoroughly to redissolve crystals.

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.

6. WHEN USED: Pre-plant soil incorporated.
7. HOW TO APPLY:
With: Ground equipment.
Rate: 1.7-2. 2 L/ac. Sandy soils 1.7 L/ac. Clay soils 2.2 L/ac.
Atrazine Mix: 1.7-2. 2 L/ac Sutan ”*"+(0.6-0. 9 kg/ac Atrazine 80 W OR 0.93-1.45 L/ac Atrazine L.)
Bladex 80 W or Liquid Mix: 1.7-2. 2 L/ac Sutan”*” +(0.9- 1.1 kg/ac Bladex 80 W ^ 1.5- 1.9 L/ac Bladex Liquid.)
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

2. REGISTERED MIXES: Banvel + 2,4-D: bromoxynil + MCPA; Glean; Lorox L + MCPA; 2,4-D; MCPA.
Mix Restrictions: Use very clean water as muddy water will inactivate chemical. Use amine formulations immediately.
3. CROPS: Chemical fallow on summerfallow. Underseeding: Not applicable.
4. WEEDS CONTROLLED: Annual grasses and annual broadleaf weeds when tank-mixed with broadleaf herbicide.
5. WEEDS SUPPRESSED: Most perennial weeds
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

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.

*
1 WEEDS SUPPRESSED: None.
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.

FORMULATIONS: Solution; 12 g/L picloram + 200 g/L 2,4-D; 8 L jug.
REGISTERED MIXES; None
CAUTION POISON
CROPS: Barley (8.7), wheat (7.7)(all types). Underseeding: Not recommended for legumes or other sensitive crops.
WEEDS CONTROLLED:
buckwheat,
[Tartary (4.7), wild (7.2)]
cocklebur

lamb’s-quarters
mustard, wild (8.6)
pigweed, redroot (7.1)

stinkweed (seedlings)
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.

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.

Triazine Tolerant Canola - Treflan 545 EC and QR5 may be applied alone on triazine tolerant canola. Sencor or Bladex
TTC may be applied as a sequential treatment after crop emergence to control several additional weeds. Treflan 545 EC
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Water Volume: Aircraft - 4 L/ac minimum. Ground - 12 L/ac minimum.
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.

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

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.
; Birds feeding on treated areas may be killed.
5. PRECAUTIONS, FIRST AID; Avoid any contact with the product. Wear protective, long-sleeved clothing, goggles, pesticide

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.

Water Volume: Potatoes - 325-405 L/ac; Heavy vines - 405-610 L/ac.
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
maneb. POISONOUS TO MAN AND ANIMALS.” KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. First Aid: IF IN EYES or ON SKIN
use standard first aid measures (see page xxi). Get medical attention for eyes. IF SWALLOWED - induce vomiting (see
page xxi). Repeat until vomit is clear. Take patient to nearest hospital taking the labelled container with you.
STORAGE: Store product in a cool, dry place away from food or feed. Keep away from fire and sparks. Prevent the
contents from becoming wet as this will reduce effectiveness and may cause flammable vapours.

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.

periodically to prevent excessive build-up of chemicals. Under certain circumstances, for example, if excessive oil is add*
the seed may bridge in the seed drill.
8. HOW IT WORKS: Benomyl is a systemic fungicide that protects against blackleg. Thiram fungicide protects against
seed-borne diseases. Lindane, an organochlorine insecticide that acts by ingestion, contact and, to a lesser extent, by
fumigant action against many soil-dwelling insects.
9. EXPECTED RESULTS: Insects: Provides protection against flea beetles during germination and early emergence only.
10. GRAZING AND CROPPING RESTRICTIONS: Do not leave treated seed exposed to birds or other animals. Do not use on s
in which edible root crops (except rutabagas and turnips) are to be planted in the same or following season.
11. TOXICITY: High acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD rats (mg/kg) = benomyl (greater than 10,000), thiram
(780-865), lindane (88-270), Thiralin-Plus (40-200). Lindane is toxic to fish, birds, and other animals. Poisonous if
swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin.
12. PRECAUTIONS, FIRST AID: Wear dust mask, goggles, rubber gloves, and protective clothing. Wash thoroughly after
handling or using and before eating or smoking. Consumption of alcohol 24 hours before or after working with thiram may
cause sweating, flushing and nausea. Stored seed should be labelled “Do not use for food, feed, or oil processing. Tf
seed has been treated with benomylF thiramF iindane. POiSONOUS TO MAN AND ANiMALS." KEEP OUT OF REACH
OF CHILDREN. Symptoms of poisoning: Lindane - nausea, vomiting, hyperirritability, convulsions, coma. Skin contact wit
fungicides may result in irritation and dermatitis. First Aid: IF IN EYES or ON SKIN - use standard first aid measures (se(
page xxi). IF SWALLOWED - induce vomiting (see page xxi). Give epsom salts as a laxative, avoid mineral oils and cast
oil. Get medical attention. For Physician: Lindane is an organochlorine insecticide. Barbiturates may be given to control
convulsions. Oxygen may be indicated. Avoid use of morphine and adrenaline.
13. STORAGE: Do not store in the home or near food or feed. NEVER allow product to become wet during storage (this may
lead to chemical changes which will reduce effectiveness of the benomyl fungicide). Keep container closed when not in

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.

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.

156
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.

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.
