Page 6 FORCE 1.5G - Container FOR130MAS-102000 DIRECTIONS FOR APPLICATION At Planting Band Treatment Apply FORCE 1.5G at planting time. Place the granules in a 7-inch wide band over the row behind the planter shoe, and in front of or behind the press wheel. GRANULES MUST BE INCORPORATED INTO THE TOP ONE INCH OF SOIL USING TINES, CHAINS OR OTHER SUITABLE EQUIPMENT. DO NOT apply this product as either a band or T-band treatment unless you can incorporate the granules as directed above. This will improve insect control and reduce the potential for adverse effects to aquatic organisms. Highly Erodible Land (HELl ( When used on erodible soils, best management practices for minimizing runoff should be employed. On highly erodible land draining to water bodies, ZENECA recommends consultation with the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and/or other agricultural agencies to ensure that effective efforts are made to minimize soil erosion as well as runoff of herbicides and insecticides. In particular, where highly erodible land (HEL) is adjacent to aquatic bodie:;, the 20 yard buffer/setback area should be left in grass or other natural vegetation. For NO-TILL corn where runoff drains into adjacent or neighboring aquatic sites (ponds, streams, lakes), apply FORCE 1.5G as an in-furrow treatment only. See in-furrow directions below. At Planting In-Furrow Treatment Apply FORCE 1.5G at planting time as an in-furrow treatment for control of corn rootworms, wireworms, and seedcorn maggots. In-furrow applications may be made by (1) directing the granules into the planter shoe with the seed, or (2) placing the applicator tube directly behind the planter shoe so that the granules drop into the seed furrow.
