SOIL PREPARATION 
Prepare the soil for seeding, planting or transplanting 1n accordance with 
with good agricultural practices. 
All weed growth and crop debris should be worked into the.~Qil ~&~~re

application, apply 1 to 2 inchea of water by overhead irrigation, or 
.echanically incorporate to a depth 0% 1/2 to 2 inche.. DeepRr 
incorporation will dilute the Diphene 4L in the aoil and May re.ult in 
poor weed control. EquipMent used for incorporation MUst Mix the Dip­
hene 4L thoroughly and evenly wjth the aoil. 
CULTIVATION 
Weeds which eMerge after treatMent ahould be de~troyed by ahallow culti­
vation (1/2 to 2 inches). Deeper cultivation that brings untreated 
aoil to the aurface May result in poor weed control. 
SPRAY EQUIPMENT 
Be%ore use, calibrate sprsyer to deliver proper spray gallonage and uniform 
spray pattern; check frequently during application. Use standard low 
pressure (25 to 50 psi) bOOM sprayer with zan-type nozzles for broadcast 
application or fan-type even-spray nozzles %or band application. Use 50 
.eBh or coarser screens in strainers, nozzles, and auction units. Clean 
nozzles and screens £requently: replace worn nozzles to insure uni£orM
