GENERAL INFORMATION i 
Weather conditions and plant conditions affej· 
conditions that favor good defoliation are hig 
humidity, low wind velocity, high to adequate ; 
conditions which favor good defoliation are a~ 
moisture, complete insect control. Nutrients s 
too much nitrogen. LEAVES SHOULD BE GR

FERTILIZERS). 
3 LB. CHLORATE DEFOLIANT DESICCA~j ly be applied by 
aircraft or ground equipment. It is important th ~e foliage be 
uniformly and thoroughly covered. The specifi . ilution rates should 
be carefully observed. A nonionic surfactant co ining 80% or more 
surface active agent, such as INDUCE® at the: Je of 1/4 to 1/2% vlv 
concentration may enhance results. Or, the addItion of a nonionic 
crop oil concentrate containing 80·85% petroleum or vegetable 
based oil and 15-20% emulsifier, such as AGRI·DEX"', can be used 
at the rate of 1/2·1 % v/v. ~ 
MATURITY· Boll load heavy, all bolls mature, i jetative growth 
ceased, little or no second growth. Conditions Y ,ch contribute to 
poor defoliation are those adverse to the above 
DIRECTIONS 
CHILIPEPPERS· Apply 1 to 2-1/2 gallons per acre in 5 to 15 gallons 
of water by aircraft and 20 to 40 gallons of water by ground rig. To be 
used on peppers for processing only. Apply 10 days before harvest. 
When grown for processing, consult a processor before applying. 
CORN·3 LB. SODIUM CHLORATE may be used as a harvest aid 
for desiccation of trashy weeds in early maturing corn. Use 2 gallons 
3 LB, SODIUM CHLORATE in 5 to 7 gallons of water per acre by air. 
Apply at least 14 days before antiCipated harvest date on clear days 
when temperature is expected to go above 700 F. Use the 5 gallon 
rate when weeds are small and the crop canopy is fairly open. 
NOTE: DO NOT graze treated fields or feed fodder, forage or 
residual seeds within 14 days of application. .. 
COTTON: Defoliation· Apply 2 to 3 weeks prior to anticipated 
picking date. Do not treat later than 7 to 10 days prior to harvest. 
Thorough coverage of the plant is essential. A second application 
may be required under some conditions. 
AIRPLANE APPLICATION· 1 to 1-112 gals. per acre in sufficient 
water to make 5 to 10 gals. total solution per acre. Use the lower rate 
when plants and weather conditions are ideal for defoliation. Swath 
width should not exceed wing spread: altitude and speed of aircraft 
should be regulated to give spray coverage. Do not apply during 
periods of excessive wind as spray may drift and cause defoliation of 
adjoining cotton or injury to other crops. Do not apply during very 
high temperature found in some areas at mid-clay. 
GROUND MACHINE APPLICATION: 1 to 1-1/2 gals. per acre in 
sufficient water to make 20 to 30 gals. total solution per acre. Usually 
6 to 8 nozzles per row are necessary to obtain good coverage of all 
leaves. Flush out equipment with water after each day's work. Cotton 
defoliants should be applied when 70% of the bolls are open. Poor 
defoliation often occurs under unfavorable weather, soil moisture, 
fertility and plant conditions. Uniform defoliation within a field may 
sometimes be difficult to obtain because of irregular plant maturity. 
Satisfactory defoliation may not be obtained when cotton plants are 
suffering from lack of moisture or when plant growth is retarded by 
cold weather. Do not graze treated areas or feed gin waste to 
livestock. 
DRY BEANS: Apply at a rate of 2 gallons per acre in 5 to 10 gallons 
of water by air or IOta 20 gallons of water by ground equipment. 
Thorough coverage is essential. Make application 7 • 10 days before 
anticipated harvest, longer if temperatures are cool. DO NOT graze 
treated fields or feed trealed fodder or forage to livestock. 
FLAX· For Use As A Harvest Aid: To desiccate trashy weeds and 
desiccate the mature crop, apply 2 gallons 3 LB. SODIUM 
CHLORATE per acre in enough water to give thorough coverage. 
Make application on bright, sunny days (preferably when temperature 
is above 600 F.) 7 to 10 daysbefore anticipated harvest date. For air 
application, use minimum of 5 gallons ready·ta-apply material per 
acre. Activity of the spray will be enhanced by the addition of a good 
nonionic surfactant at the rate of 1 quart per 100 gallons of spray. DO 
NOT graze treated fields or feed treated flax foliage or fodder for 14 
days after application. 
GRAIN SORGHUM: As a desiccant: apply 1-112 to 2 gallons per 
acre in 12 to 15 gallons of water 7 to 10 days before harvest.

GUAR BEANS - To facilitate harvest and reduce bean seed 
moisture: apply 2 gallons of 3 LB. SODIUM CHLORATE in enough 
water to provide thorough coverage either by aircraft or ground 
equipment. Make application 7-10 days before anticipated harvest 
date. Do not apply under conditions of extreme heat during the 
middle of the day. For air application, use 5-10 gallons of total 
solution per acre; for ground application use a minimum of 20 gallons 
of total solution per acre. 
NOTE: DO NOT graze treated fields or feed treated fodder or forage 
to livestock. 
RICE - To facilitate harvest and reduce moisture in the fully 
mature seed heads, and to desiccate immature red rice In 
mature white rice: apply by air 1-1/4 to 2 gallons per acre in 5 or 
more gallons of waler. Use the lower rate when crop conditions and 
weather are right to enhance rapid drying. Make application 7 to 10 
days before anticipated harvest date. To avoid drift do not apply 
during windy weather. Thorough coverage of the crop is essential to 
achieve good results. DO NOT graze treated fields or feed treated 
straw or crop residues within 14 days of application. 
SAFFLOWERS - To facilitate harvest and reduce moisture in the 
fully mature seed heads: apply 2 gallons in 5 to 10 gallons of water 
per acre by air or in 20 to 30 gallons by ground equipment. Make 
application 7 or more days before normal harvest when safflower 
heads are fully mature. 
SOUTHERN PEAS - Apply at a rate of 2 gallons per acre in 5 to 10 
gallons of water by air or 10 to 20 gallons by ground equipment. 
Thorough coverage is essential. Make application 7 to 10 days 
before anticipated harvest, longer if temperatures are cool. DO NOT 
graze treated fields or feed treated fodder or forage to livestock. 
SOYBEANS: As a soybean harvest aid to dry weeds in early 
maturing soybeans and to facilitate the harvest: apply 2 gallons 
of 3 LB. SODIUM CHLORATE per acre in enough water 10 give 
thorough coverage; application may be made by ground equipment 
or aircraft. Make application 7 to 10 days before anticipated 
harvesting date when beans are mature and ready for harvest. For 
air application use a minimum of 5 gallons ready-la-apply spray 
solution per acre; for ground equipment apply a minimum of 20 
gallons of ready-ta-apply spray solution per acre. Do not graze 
treated fields or feed treated soybean foliage. 
SUNFLOWER -To facilitate harvest and reduce moisture in the 
fully mature seed heads: apply 2 gallons in sufficient water to give 
good coverage. Make application 7 or more days before normal 
harvest when sunflower heads are fully mature. Apply in 5 to 10 
gallons of water per acre by air or in 20 to 30 gallons of water per 
acre by ground with a high clearance sprayer. Do not apply later than 
7 days before harvest. DO NOT graze treated fields or feed treated 
forage within 14 days of application. 
MIXING: Agitate 3 LB. SODIUM CHLORATE DEFOLIANT­
DESICCANT in water until completely dissolved. Use mechanical 
agitator.
