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.

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 Qrasss. 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 potatse;;-,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.

This is equivalent to an over·all rate of 2 pounds of

directing the spray. Spray only the lower half of the 
corn stal ks beloN the lifted leaves but in no case 
higher than 7 inches above the ground. ApplV 
carefully with emphasis on sprayer calibration. 
spray pa~tern width. height of spray on corn and 
rate of DALAPON. 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.

Treatment shouid be made onl y after harvest in 
October and early November. Caution: This 
treatment may reduce the next season's crop. For 
example, I)n the Howes variety the crop may be 
reduced only slightly whereas on Early Blacks it 
may be reduced up to 7S percent and on certain 
varieties as much as 90 percent. Follow recom­
mendations of Agricultural Experiment Stations.

and spraying operations to keep the spray uniformly 
mixed, 
~SPARAGUS_: To control quack~l!.s. apply 10 
pounds of OALAPON per acre before cutting and 3 
to ~ weeks later as needed. With a single treatment. 
use '20 pounds of DALAPON either before or after 
the utting season. For bermudagrass control. apply 
20 pounds of DALAPON per acre either before or 
after the cutting season. and a second sprav of 10 
pounds as needed. NOTE: During the CUlling 
season. spray immediately after cuttings. Later 
spr.J,:> should be uirected under the fern growth. 
Use enough water to provide uniform wetting of the 
grass, Spot spray patches of grass with 1 PG-und of 
DALAPON in 10 gallons of water. 
~S: To control Seedling AraS5~. 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 seed I 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 
Pouno( of DALAPON 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 ~(ass 
comes up after planting but before potatOtls elllerge, 
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" days land can be plowed and 
potatoes planted immediately if normal soil 
moisture is present. Late Season Gnss ContrOl: Use 
5 pounds of DALAPON in 15 to 25 gallons of water 
per acre. Make application after lay·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 not use DALAPON on 
land planted or to be planted to red skinned varieties 
or White Rose,
