Use the 4 pound rate if grasses are well beyond the 2·leaf stCige or are not growing well due to dry conditions. For aerial applicatiOn, use a minimum of 5 gallons of spray mixture per acre and for ground appl icat ion. use enough water to obtain good grass coverage. For use beyond the 6-leaf stage until beets are about 14 inches tall: To control annual grasses apply as a directed spray at the rale of 3 to 5 pounds OALAPON per acre on an overall basis, in enough water for good grass coverage. Use the lower rate if grasses are very small and growing actively. Apply with leaf·lifting equipment. This will minimize spray contact on the beet leave~. NOTE; The spray may be applied broadcast or in bands. For band treatment~ the amount of OALAPON needeo per acre will be reduced in proportion to the reduction in amount of area ac· tually sprilyed. Use no more than 8 pounds DALAPON post·emergence per acre in any Single growing season. Beet tops (or roots) may be fed to livestock.

Apply 5 to 7 pounds of DALAPONper acre as a foliage spray in the spring when johnsongrass is 8 to 12 inches tall and growing well. After spraying wait 3days then plow a deep disk. One or more additional diskings prior to planting are suggested. Cot"1n can be plan:ed without further delay.For corn or soybeans, wait at ledst 5 da ys after plowing before planting. With sorghum wa it at least 2', weeks after plowing or deep tillage before planting. If soil remains unusually dry after plowdown or deep disking a longer waiting per iod may be needed before plan· ting soybeans, corn or sorghum to avoid crop injury_ Under such conditiond delay planting these crops at least 5 days after receiving a minimum of 0.5 inch rainfall. COTTON: SpOt treatment for perennial grasses such as johnsongrass and berm udagrass: Use 1 pound of DALAPON in 10gallons of water and spray to wet all grass foliage. Spray after the grass has developed good foliaCje and is growing vigorously. Retreat as 'leeded to control escaped plants. An eradication program may take up to three ap plicatlons during a season. Cotton plants wet with spray are usually injured, but adjacent planls are not 501 seriously affected. Control new seedlings by tillage. lay-by spray in coHan to control annual grasses in western orrigated areas: Use 5 poundS of DALAPON in 50 g<.llons of water per acre. Cover entire sod area with a directed spray which wets grass Without welting cotton Spray after last cultivation when grass IS up but still small. SUG"-R..~~~_TS: For use anytime from emergence through the 6-leaf stage: To control Wild. oats and q~ckgras}, apply 510 8 pounds DALAPON per acre as an overall spray with ground equipment in enuugh water for good grass coverage. Some stunting of beets and possible yield reduction may occur under some conditions from these rates.

ApplV as an oyerall spray when weedl and grass are lesl than 1112 inches tall and corn is in the spike to 4·leaf stage. Consult your State agricultural experiment station or extension service weed specialist for local use directions. Prepare the spray by dissolving DALAPON in the required amount of water contained in a spray tank. Using a convenient cor' -iner, make a thin slurry of Atrazine 80" cent wettable powder in water. thoroughl y wetting tht Il..trazine. and add to the solution of DALAPON. Add the oil last. Provide continuous "ioitation in the spray tank during m;xing. holding, and spraying operations to keep the spray uniformly mixed. ASPARAGUS: To control quackgrass. apply 10 Poi.u,dsOTDALAPON per acre before cutting and 3 to 4 weeks later as needed. With a single treatment. use 20 pounds of DALAPON either before or after the cutting season. For b!r'!'~r:.ass control. apply 20 pounds of DALAPON per acre either before or after the cutting season. and a second spray of 10 pounds as needed. NOTE: Durinq the cutting season, spray immediately after cuttings. Later :;pra''-s should be directed under the fern growth. Use enough water to provide uniform wetting of the grass. Spot spray patches of grass with 1 pound of DALAPON in 10 gallons of water. ~u.s: To control ~ee~ Qrass~s. use one pound of ~PON per acre in enough water for good spray coverage. Apply at least 2S days prior to harvest when the grass seedl ings are young and the peas are 2 to 6 inches tall. DALAPON can be used in a com· bination spray with a dinitro pre-emergence weed killer to control both weeds and grasses. FreSh pea vines or pea silage may be fed to livestock if desired. but do not feed pea vine hay. POTATOES: To control seedling grasses, use 3 PouncisOTOALAPON per acre in enough water to wet the grass evenly. Apply before emergence of the potatoes when grass plants are small. This ap· plication can be a combination spray with a dinitro pre ·emergence weed killer. Where quac kg~!iS comes up after pi ant ing out before potat~se;;-,er(le, use up to 10 pounds of DALAPON per acre and wet the grass well. Do not apply DALAPON after potato plants emerge. Spring pre·planting treatment of quackgrass with 8 pounds of DALAPON per acre is effective. After 4 days land can be plowed and potatoes planted immediately if normal soil moisture is present Late Season Grass Control: Use 5 pounds of DALAPON in 15 to 25 gallons of water per acre. Make application after lav-by when grass seeds have germinated but before the grass seedlings are 3 inches tall. Use a vine lifter and direct the spray on the grass up to the base of the potato plants so that it will cover the tops of the row' and the middles but will get a minimum of spray on the potato foliage. Note: Do "ot use DALAPON on land planted or to be planted to red skinned varieties or White Rose. FbAX: To control pigeongrass or green. yellow and giant foxtails in flax. use 1 pound of DALAPON per acre in S to 10 gallons of water when flax is 1 to 6 inches tall.

Best results are obtained by spraying 'M'len grass and weeds are small and not as tall as the corn. Use of a rotary hoe soon after corn emergence will delay grass and weed growth so that the corn will be taller than the weeds and grass when spray is applied. Quick kill should not be expected, but treated grass and weeds will be stunted or die back and remain in a non·competitive condition. This also discourages reinvasion of new seedlings. CAUTION: Do not use on corn grown for sped. f""~~ CDRNj...Early Postemergence: To control S 55 at annual gr asses such as green, y~lIow, and giant foxlail and of annual broadleaf weeds such as lambsquarters, pigweed, and wild mustard use '2 pound of DALAPON plus 1 to 2 pounds of Atrazine SO per.cent wettable powder plus 1 to }112 gallons of emulsifiable crop oil per acr~ as a tank mi)( com bination with water to make 10 to 20 gallons total spray.
