Do not apply on gravelly sand or loamy sand soil or on soil with less than 1% organic matt~r. Do not treat areas where water will accumulatp. Do not apply to sandy soil. Leveling and furrowing operations after application will lessen effectiveness of weed control.

Do not use in vineyards established less than 3 years. Do not use in nurseries. To avoid possible injury, do not apply to ~es under stress from freeze damage for one year following the freeze. Use the low rate of TOPGUN on coarse textured soils anc' low organic matter soils. Use the hlj(p rate on fine textured Goils and high organic matter soils. Apply TOPGUN in 50 to 200 gals. of water per acre to the orchard floor avoiding contact with fruit, foliage or stems. Add a nonionic spreader at 16 to 32 fl. oz. per 100 gals. diluted spray. Apply when weeds --- I UPbU,~ - q and;grasses are succulent and the new growth is from I to 6 inches tall. For band applications or spot applications around trees, reduce the broadcast rate and the amount of water in proportion to the area actually sprayed. Hake only one application per year. Apply in orchards where trees have been e!1tctblished one year or more. Do not spray under windy conditions and use a shield for young trees. vo not apply to almonds and walnuts when nuts are on the ground during the harvest period. Do not allow animals to graze treated areas. ALFALFA (Pure alfalfa at least 12 months old): For improved control of filaree, Jim Hill mustard, and shepherdspurse, b -~uegrass, cheatgrass, chickweed, and tansym'Jstard.
