|
||
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||
Diuron 4L is a Group 7 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to Diuron 4L and other Group
|
||
7 herbicides. Weed species with acquired resistance to Group 7 may eventually dominate the weed population if Group 7 herbicides
|
||
are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive years as the primary method of control for targeted species. This may result in
|
||
partial or total loss of control of those species by Diuron 4L or other Group 7 herbicides.
|
||
To delay herbicide resistance consider avoiding the consecutive use of Diuron 4L or other target site of action Group 7 herbicides that
|
||
have a similar target site of action on the same weed species; using tank-mixtures or premixes with herbicides from different target sites
|
||
of action Groups as long as the involved products are all registered for the same use, have different sites of action and are both effective
|
||
at the tank mix or prepack rate on the weed(s) of concern; basing herbicide use on a comprehensive IPM program; monitoring treated
|
||
weed populations for loss of field efficacy, or contact your local Winfield Solutions, LLC specialist for herbicide resistance management
|
||
and/or integrated weed management recommendations for specific crops and resistant weed biotypes.

|
||
PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
DIURON 4L is a liquid flowable to be mixed with water and applied as a spray for selective control of weeds in certain crops an d for
|
||
nonselective weed control on noncropland areas. It is noncorrosive to equipment, nonflammable and nonvolatile.
|
||
DIURON 4L may be applied to soil prior to emergence of weeds to control susceptible weed seedlings for an extended period of time.
|
||
The degree of control and duration of effect will vary with the amount of chemical applied, soil texture, rainfall and other co nditions.
|
||
Soils high in clay or organic matter require higher dosages than soils low in clay or organic matter to obtain equivalent herbi cide
|
||
performance. Moisture is required to activate the chemical; best results occur if rainfall (or sprinkler irrigation) occurs within 2 weeks of
|
||
application.
|
||
DIURON 4L applied preemergence, before emergence of crop and weeds, is an effective procedure because susceptible weeds are
|
||
controlled in an early, vulnerable seedling state before they compete with the crop. With favorable moisture conditions, DIURO N 4L
|
||
continues to control weeds for some time as the crop becomes better able to compete. Should weed seedlings begin to break through
|
||
the preemergence treatment in significant numbers, secondary weed control procedures should be implemented; these include
|
||
cultivation and postemergence herbicide application.
|
||
DIURON 4L may also be used to control emerged weeds. Results vary with rate applied and environmental conditions; best results are
|
||
obtained on succulent weeds growing under conditions of high humidity and temperatures of 70°F or higher. Addition of a surfac tant
|
||
such as a non-ionic surfactant to the spray (where recommended) increases contact effects of DIURON 4L.
|
||
DIURON 4L may be used as a directed postemergence application, where spray nozzles are adjusted so that weeds are sprayed but
|
||
the crop is not. Contact of crop foliage and/or fruit with spray or mist must be avoided on the following crops as injury may occur:
|
||
artichoke, corn (field), cotton, sorghum (grain), sugarcane, and established plantings of apples, bananas, plantains, blueberri es,
|
||
caneberries, gooseberries, citrus, grapes, macadamia nuts, olives, papayas, peaches, pears, pecans, walnuts and certain tree
|
||
plantings.
|
||
Under specified conditions (see Directions for Use), DIURON 4L without surfactant may be applied over the top of alfalfa (established,
|
||
dormant or semi-dormant), asparagus (established), birdsfoot trefoil (established, dormant), grass seed crops (established), oats, red
|
||
clover (established, dormant), sugarcane, wheat, pineapple and plumosus fern (established, mowed).
|
||
Weed species vary in susceptibility to DIURON 4L and they may be more difficult to control when under stress. Combinations or tank
|
||
mixes of DIURON 4L with other herbicides (as registered) increase the number of weed species controlled; consult labels of the
|
||
companion product for this and other information. Whenever tank mixing DIURON 4L with other products, observe all precautions,
|
||
limitations and directions on labels of products used in combination with DIURON 4L.
|
||
Since the effect of DIURON 4L varies with soils, uniformity of application, and environmental conditions, it is suggested that growers
|
||
limit their first use to small areas.
|
||
USE PRECAUTIONS:
|
||
Do not use on home plantings of trees, shrubs or herbaceous plants or lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts or similar areas.
|
||
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
|
||
|
||
4
|
||
Thoroughly clean all traces of DIURON 4L from application equipment immediately after use. Flush tank, pumps, hoses and boom with
|
||
several changes of water after removing nozzle tips and screens (clean parts separately).
|
||
Draining or flushing equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants or in areas where their roots may extend or in locations where
|
||
the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots may injure these plants.
|
||
Trees or other desirable plants whose roots extend into a treated crop use area may be injured.
|
||
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
|
||
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include biological, cultural, and genetic
|
||
practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices include field scouting or other detection methods,
|
||
correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action
|
||
thresholds.
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
Requirements for reducing spray drift for diuron ground and aerial applications:
|
||
Use best practices to avoid drift to all other crops and non-target areas. Do not apply when conditions favor drift from target areas. The
|
||
interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. Avoiding spray drift at the application
|
||
site is the responsibility of the applicator. The applicator must follow the most restrictive precautions to avoid drift, including those found
|
||
in this labeling as well as applicable state and local regulations and ordinances. A drift control agent may reduce drift, however, it may
|
||
also decrease weed control.
|
||
x Make aerial or ground applications only when the wind speed is less than or equals to 10 miles per hour.
|
||
x Do not make aerial or ground applications into the temperature inversions.
|
||
x Apply with medium or coarser spray (according to ASAE standard 572) for standard nozzles.
|
||
Additional requirement for ground applications:
|
||
x When applying to crops, apply with the nozzle height no more than 2 feet above the ground or crop canopy. When applying to non -
|
||
crop areas, use lowest nozzle height consistent with the safety and efficacy. Direct spray into target vegetation.
|
||
Additional requirements for aerial applications:
|
||
x The spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing tip vortices. The boom length must not
|
||
exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of rotor blade diameter.
|
||
x Use upwind swath displacement.
|
||
x When applying to crops, do not release spray at a height greater than 6-10 feet above the ground or crop canopy. When applying to
|
||
non-crop area, apply at a minimum safe altitude above the area being treated.
|
||
x Do not apply by air if sensitive non-target crops are within 100 feet of the application site.
|
||
x Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees.
|
||
Importance of Droplet Size
|
||
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply th e largest
|
||
droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying large droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent d rift if
|
||
applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and
|
||
Temperature Inversions).
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size (General Techniques)
|
||
x Volume – Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larg er
|
||
droplets.
|
||
x Pressure – Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not improve
|
||
canopy penetration. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
|
||
x Number of nozzles – Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
|
||
x Nozzle Orientation – Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released backwards parallel to the airstream will produce larger d roplets
|
||
than other orientations. Significant deflection from the horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential.
|
||
x Nozzle Type – Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles
|
||
produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce larger droplets than
|
||
other nozzle types.
|
||
x Boom length – For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further
|
||
reduce drift without reducing swath width.
|
||
x Application – Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a gr eater
|
||
height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation
|
||
and wind.
|
||
Swath Adjustment
|
||
When applications are made with a cross-wind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the
|
||
field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment dis tance
|
||
should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.)
|
||
|
||
5
|
||
Wind
|
||
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2-10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type
|
||
determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and hig h
|
||
inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and
|
||
how they affect spray drift.
|
||
Temperature and Humidity
|
||
When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet
|
||
evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry.
|
||
Temperature Inversions
|
||
Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air
|
||
mixing, which causes small, suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directi ons
|
||
due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with
|
||
altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue
|
||
into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the
|
||
movement of smoke from a ground source of an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a connected cloud
|
||
(under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upwards and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air
|
||
mixing.
|
||
Sensitive Areas
|
||
The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies o f water,
|
||
known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive
|
||
areas).

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
|
||
POSTEMERGENCE USE (Emerged Seedling Weeds): DIURON 4L at specified rates, controls annual weeds such annual
|
||
morningglory, barnyardgrass (watergrass), crabgrass, crowfoot, goosegrass, pigweed and purslane. Addition of an approved non-ionic
|
||
surfactant (minimum 80% active) to the spray (where recommended) increases contact effects of DIURON 4L. Best results are obtained
|
||
on succulent weeds growing under conditions of high humidity and temperatures of 70 degrees F or higher.
|
||
GROUND APPLICATION: Use a boom power sprayer properly calibrated to a constant speed and rate of delivery. Openings in
|
||
screens should be equal to or larger than 50 mesh. Continuous agitation in the spray tank is required to keep the material in
|
||
|
||
6
|
||
suspension. Agitate by mechanical or hydraulic means; if bypass or return line is used, it should terminate at bottom of tank to minimize
|
||
foaming. Avoid overlapping, and shut off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing or stopping, or injury to the crop may result.
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATION: For alfalfa, barley (winter), cotton (preplant or preemergence only), grass seed crops (grown in the Pacific
|
||
Northwest only), sugarcane and wheat (winter) and rights-of-way, application may be made by aircraft in a minimum of 3 gallons of
|
||
water per acre unless otherwise noted. Avoid overlapping of spray swath and avoid application under conditions where excessive drift
|
||
may occur. Where land is bedded, make application parallel to rows. For all other crops other than those listed directly above, aerial
|
||
application is prohibited.
|
||
SPRAY PREPARATION: Mix proper amount of DIURON 4L into necessary volume of water; where use of a non-ionic surfactant such
|
||
as Preference or Activate Plus is recommended, dilute with 10 parts of water and add as last ingredient to nearly full tank.
|
||
TANK MIXTURES: DIURON 4L may be tank mixed with other herbicides and/or adjuvants registered for crop or noncrop use in this
|
||
label. Refer to the label of the tank mix product(s) for any additional use instructions or restrictions. When an adjuvant is to be used
|
||
with this product, Winfield Solutions, LLC recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association certified adjuvant.
|
||
USE RATES: All rates of DIURON 4L are expressed as broadcast rates; for band treatment, use proportionately less. For example, use
|
||
1/3 of the broadcast rate when treating a 14" band where row spacing is 42". Where a range of rates is given, use the lower ra te on
|
||
coarse textured soils (low in clay or organic matter) and the higher rate on fine textured soils (high in clay or organic matte r). For
|
||
postemergence application, use the lower rate on smaller weeds and the higher rate on larger weeds.
|
||
SOIL LIMITATIONS: Crop injury may result from failure to observe the following:
|
||
Unless otherwise directed, do not use on sand, loamy sand, gravelly soils or exposed subsoils, nor on pecans where organic matter is
|
||
less than 0.5%, nor on alfalfa, apples, artichoke, barley (winter), bermudagrass pasture, citrus, cotton, grapes, oats, olives, papayas,
|
||
peaches, pears, pIumosus fern, sorghum, sugarcane, walnuts and wheat (winter) where organic matter is less than 1%, nor on
|
||
blueberries, birdsfoot trefoil, caneberries, gooseberries, macadamia nuts and peppermint where organic matter is less than 2%.
|
||
Preemergence weed control will be reduced on high organic matter soils (greater than 5%, such as peat or muck).
|
||
REPLANTING: Unless otherwise directed, do not replant treated areas to any crop within 2 years after last application as injury to
|
||
subsequent crops may result. Note: For crops grown in the arid west, reductions in normal irrigation practices for the crop in production
|
||
or a summer fallow period without supplemental irrigation may require the crop rotation intervals to be extended.
|
||
When such conditions occur, a field bioassay should be completed prior to planting any desired crop. A strip should cross the entire
|
||
field including knolls, low areas, and areas where any berms were located. The results of this bioassay may require the rotati on
|
||
intervals to be extended.
|
||
FIELD CROPS
|
||
(See Soil Limitations)
|
||
A good seedbed must be prepared before preemergence use of DIURON 4L, as crop injury may result if application is made to ground
|
||
which is cloddy or compacted resulting in improperly planted seed. Plant seed to depth specified. Unless otherwise directed, surface of
|
||
the soil should not be cultivated or disturbed after application of DIURON 4L and before emergence of the crop as weed control may be
|
||
reduced and crop injury may result. However, if moisture is insufficient to activate the herbicide, a shallow cultivation (rot ary hoe
|
||
preferred) should be made after emergence of crops while weeds are small enough to be controlled by mechanical means.
|
||
ALFALFA
|
||
Treat only stands established for 1 year or more. Do not apply to seedling alfalfa nor to alfalfa/grass mixtures; do not apply to alfalfa
|
||
under stress from disease, insect damage, shallow root penetration (such as on shallow hard pans), alkali spots; nor to flooded fields as
|
||
crop injury may result. Do not spray on snow-covered or frozen ground. Do not apply more than 2.4 quarts/acre per year. Apply a
|
||
maximum of one application per year.
|
||
Idaho, Oregon, Washington: Use. 1.2 to 2.4 quarts. per acre. Apply in fall after alfalfa becomes dormant but no later than mid-
|
||
December.
|
||
California (Dormant and Semi-Dormant Varieties): Use 1.2 to 2.4 quarts per acre. Apply in fall or winter after alfalfa becomes
|
||
dormant or semi-dormant, but before growth begins in the spring. Crop injury may result if application is made to actively gro wing
|
||
alfalfa. For best results, apply before weeds have emerged or become established (2" in height or diameter). Control of estab lished
|
||
weeds is improved by applying DIURON 4L with a suitable contact herbicide registered for such use. Sufficient rainfall for soil activation
|
||
of DIURON 4L is unlikely in California after February 1. Treated areas may be replanted to any crop after one year from last application
|
||
if rate does not exceed 1.6 quarts per acre.
|
||
Arizona, Nevada: Use 1.2 to 2.4 quarts per acre; apply in fall after alfalfa becomes dormant but no later than January.
|
||
Eastern Colorado, Kansas: For control of tansymustard, apply 0.8 quart per acre shortly after emergence of mustard in the fall or
|
||
winter, use 3.2 pts. per acre if weeds are 2" to 4" in height. Alternatively if other annual weeds are present, apply 1.6 to 2.4 quarts per
|
||
acre in February or March.
|
||
Other Areas Where Alfalfa Becomes Winter Dormant: Use 1.2 to 2.4 quarts per acre 1.2 to 1.6 quarts per acre east of Appalachian
|
||
Mountains). Apply in March or early April, but before spring growth begins.
|
||
ARTICHOKE
|
||
California: Apply 1.6 to 3.2 quarts per acre in late fall or early winter after the last cultivation. Apply before weeds germinate or to
|
||
emerging seedlings. Direct spray to cover the area between the rows and at the base of artichoke plants, keeping contact with crop
|
||
plants at a minimum.
|
||
ASPARAGUS
|
||
|
||
7
|
||
Apply as a band or broadcast treatment. Do not apply to young plants during the first growing season (except as noted below), nor to
|
||
newly seeded asparagus, nor on plants with exposed roots as severe injury may result. Preemergence weed control will be reduced on
|
||
high organic matter soils (greater than 5%).
|
||
Established Plantings: On light sandy soils and other soils low in clay or organic matter, apply 0.8 to 1.6 quarts per acre. On soils high
|
||
in clay or organic matter, use 1.6 to 3.2 quarts per acre. Two applications may be used; the first application should be made before
|
||
weeds become established but no earlier that 4 weeks before spear emergence and no later than the early cutting period (if weeds are
|
||
controlled into the cutting period by cultural practices, application may be delayed until immediately after the last cultivation); a
|
||
second application may be made immediately following completion of harvest provided rainfall is expected.
|
||
When two applications are used in one season, do not exceed 2.4 quarts per acre per application. In Washington (irrigated crop), apply
|
||
a single treatment of 3.2 quarts per acre. If treatment is delayed until late winter or early spring, incorporation of the chemical in the top
|
||
1" to 2" of soil may substitute for lack of rain to activate the herbicide.
|
||
Newly-Planted Crowns - California (San Joaquin Delta): Make a single application of 1.6 to 3.2 quarts per acre on soils high in clay
|
||
or organic matter; use the lower rate on clay loams and the higher rate on peat soils. Do not use on soils containing less tha n 2%
|
||
organic matter. Soils must be settled by rainfall or irrigation prior to treatment. Do not treat crowns planted to a depth of less than 2".
|
||
BARLEY (WINTER)
|
||
(Drill - Planted) Western Oregon and Western Washington: Make a single application of 1.2 to 1.6 quarts per acre as soon as
|
||
possible after planting but before emergence of barley. Do not replant treated areas to any crop within 1 year after last application as
|
||
injury to subsequent crops may result.
|
||
BERMUDAGRASS PASTURES (Newly Sprigged)
|
||
Apply 0.8 to 2.4 quarts after planting and before emergence of bermudagrass or weeds. Alternatively, for control of emerged an nual
|
||
weeds up to 4" in height apply 0.4 to 0.8 quart per acre; add 1 pt. of a non-ionic surfactant per 25 gals. of spray. If bermudagrass has
|
||
emerged at time of treatment, temporary burn of exposed plant parts may occur.
|
||
Plant sprigs (stolons) 2" deep in a well-prepared seedbed; do not treat areas where sprigs are planted less than 2" deep as crop injury
|
||
may result.
|
||
Do not graze or feed foliage from treated areas to livestock within 70 days after application.
|
||
BIRDSFOOT TREFOIL (LOTUS)
|
||
Western Oregon: Treat only stands established for at least 1 year; do not apply to seedling trefoil as injury may result. Make a single
|
||
application of 1.6 quarts per acre when trefoil is dormant (October 15 to December 15). Do not replant treated areas to any crop within
|
||
1 year after last application as injury to subsequent crops may result.
|
||
CORN (FIELD)
|
||
Postemergence - Make a single application of 0.6 quart per acre in combination with nonpressure nitrogen solution. If nitrogen solution
|
||
is not used, apply 0.8 quart per acre; add 1 pt. of a non-ionic surfactant per 25 gals. of spray. Apply as a directed spray when corn is at
|
||
least 20" high and weeds are no taller than 3". DO NOT APPLY OVER TOP OF CORN. Do not replant to any crop within 1 year
|
||
except that cotton, corn and grain sorghum may be planted the spring following treatment.
|
||
Preemergence - Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee: Make a single application of 0.5 to 0.8 quart per acre as a
|
||
broadcast or band treatment after planting but before corn emerges. Plant corn at least 1.5" deep. Do not replant treated areas to crops
|
||
other than corn or cotton within 4 months following band treatment and 6 months following broadcast treatment as crop injury ma y
|
||
result.
|
||
Pre-plant – Louisiana: Do not apply to sand or loamy sand soils. Do not use on soils with less than 1% organic matter as crop injury
|
||
may result. Plant corn at least 1.5” deep. Do not spray over the top of corn plants. DIURON 4L may be used for burndown of existing
|
||
annual weeds and residual control of weeds prior to planting field corn. Do not use on sweet corn. Complete any planned tillage prior
|
||
to application. Apply herbicide treatments before weeds germinate or before weed seedlings are more than 2” tall. If weeds ar e
|
||
emerged prior to application, the addition of a non-ionic surfactant is recommended. Tillage following application should be avoided to
|
||
prevent incorporation of the herbicide into the corn seed germination zone, which may result in crop injury. Dragging treated soil from
|
||
beds will concentrate the herbicide in middles and reduce residual weed control on beds.
|
||
Apply 0.5 to 0.8 quarts per acre from 15 to 45 days prior to anticipated planting. Refer to the table below for use rates in p re-plant
|
||
applications. Do not exceed suggested use rates for individual soil textures shown in the table below. If less than the maximum rate of
|
||
application for a soil is applied pre-plant subsequent preemergence applications of DIURON 4L may be made. However, the total
|
||
combined application rate for DIURON 4L applied pre-plant and preemergence may not exceed the maximum suggested use rate for
|
||
either application method.

The risk of injury from pre-plant applications of DIURON 4L is reduced where substantial rainfall (greater than 0.5”) occurs be tween
|

application and planting.
|
||
Pre-Plant Tank Mixing: When emerged weeds taller than 2” or weeds not listed on this label are present, DIURON 4L may be tank
|
||
mixed with other products labeled for pre-plant applications in corn including glyphosate. The addition of dry spray grade ammonium
|
||
sulfate at the rate of 2.0% w/w (17 pounds per 100 gallons finished spray solution) is suggested to enhance performance of DIURON 4L
|
||
plus glyphosate tank mixes.
|
||
Re-planting: Only cotton and corn may be replanted within 6 months of pre-plant applications of DIURON 4L. To avoid crop injury
|
||
following re-planting, avoid disturbing the original bed.
|
||
COTTON
|
||
Use Precautions: During a single crop season, do not exceed the following amounts of DIURON 4L per acre as injury to subsequent
|
||
crops may result: 0.8 quart on sandy loam; 1.5 quarts on clay loam; 2.2 quarts on clay.
|
||
x DO NOT SPRAY OVER THE TOP OF COTTON PLANTS.
|
||
x Do not apply to sand or loamy sand soils except as noted below.
|
||
x Do not use on soils with less than 1% organic matter as crop injury may result.
|
||
x Seedling disease may weaken plants and increase the possibility of injury from the use of Trifluralin products followed by DIURON 4L.
|
||
These treatments should be used only in conjunction with a standard fungicide seed treatment plus a good supplemental soil
|
||
fungicide program.
|
||
x Do not use DIURON 4L in pre-plant or preemergence applications where soil-applied organophosphate insecticides are used due to
|
||
potential for severe cotton injury and possible stand loss.
|
||
x Do not allow livestock to graze treated cotton.
|
||
x Do not make more than 3 applications of this product per year. When DIURON 4L is used in a sequential treatment program the
|
||
minimum retreatment interval is 21 days.
|
||
Preplant - Arizona and California: Use DIURON 4L alone, or apply as a separate operation following preplant broadcast treatment
|
||
with Trifluralin products (incorporated according to directions on the Trifluralin product label). Apply DIURON 4L as a broadcast spray
|
||
after beds are formed, pre-irrigated and final seedbeds prepared. Prior to planting, drag-off the tops of the beds and plant in moist soil
|
||
not treated with DIURON 4L. Treated soil is returned to the bed after planting when irrigation furrows are reformed after cotto n has
|
||
emerged. If more than two furrowing-out operations are made prior to lay-by, or deep furrows are made early, weed control may be
|
||
reduced in furrow bottoms. Use at the following rates:

Pre-Plant – Except Arizona and California: DIURON 4L may be used for burndown of existing annual weeds and residual control of
|
||
weeds prior to planting cotton. Complete any planned tillage prior to application. Apply herbicide treatments before weeds germinate or
|
||
before weed seedlings are more than 2” tall. If weeds are emerged prior to application, the addition of a nonionic surfactant is
|
||
recommended. Tillage following application should be avoided to prevent incorporation of the herbicide into the cotton seed
|
||
germination zone which may result in crop injury. Dragging treated soil from beds will concentrate the herbicide in middles and reduce
|
||
residual weed control on the beds.
|
||
Apply 0.5 to 1.6 quarts per acre from 15 to 45 days prior to anticipated planting. Refer to the table below for use rates in p re-plant
|
||
applications. Do not exceed suggested use rates for individual soil textures shown in the table below. If less than the maximum rate of
|
||
application for a given soil is applied pre-plant, subsequent preemergence applications of DIURON 4L may be made. However, the
|
||
total combined application rate for DIURON 4L applied pre-plant and preemergence may not exceed the maximum suggested use rate

Preemergence application of herbicides with a similar mode of action to that of diuron following pre-plant application of DIURON 4L may
|
||
result in cotton injury. When pre-plant applications of DIURON 4L are followed by preemergence applications of herbicides with a
|
||
|
||
9
|
||
similar mode of action (for example products containing fluometuron), the product containing fluometuron should be used at the
|
||
minimum rate of application for the soil under consideration in order to reduce potential for crop injury. This is most critic al where
|
||
applications of DIURON 4L are made less than 30 days pre-plant, on coarse-textured soils, and on soils low in organic matter. The risk
|
||
of injury from pre-plant applications of DIURON 4L is reduced where substantial rainfall (greater than 0.5 inches) occurs betwe en
|
||
application and planting. Read and follow any additional precautions on this label when using this product for pre-plant weed control in
|
||
cotton.
|
||
Pre-Plant Tank Mixes: When emerged weeds taller than 2” or weeds not listed on the DIURON 4L label are present, DIURON 4L may
|
||
be tank mixed with other products registered for pre-plant applications in cotton. The addition of dry spray grade ammonium sulfate at
|
||
the rate of 2.0% w/w (17 lbs per 100 gallons finished spray solution) is suggested to enhance performance of DIURON 4L plus
|
||
glyphosate tank mixes.
|
||
Re-Planting: Only cotton and corn may be planted within 6 months of pre-plant applications of DIURON 4L. To avoid crop injury
|
||
following re-planting, avoid disturbing the original bed.
|
||
Preemergence - U.S., except Arizona and California: Use DIURON 4L alone or apply as a separate operation following preplant
|
||
treatment with Trifluralin products. Apply DIURON 4L after planting but before cotton emerges. Do not treat cotton in deep furrows as
|
||
crop injury may result; use only where cotton is planted on flat or raised seedbeds.
|
||
Shallow incorporation (no deeper than 1/4") with a rotary hoe or similar equipment following planting usually improves results especially
|
||
during dry weather. A wide press wheel should be used on the planter to provide a level seedbed for subsequent early season
|
||
postemergence treatments. If moisture is insufficient to activate DIURON 4L or if soil becomes crusted before crop emerges, a shallow
|
||
rotary hoeing (no deeper than 1/4") should be made before weeds become established.
|
||
DIURON 4L should not be applied preemergence following application of the maximum rate for a given soil applied pre-plant. If less
|
||
than the maximum rate is used pre-plant, additional DIURON 4L may be applied preemergence. However, the total amount of DIURON
|
||
L applied pre-plant and preemergence must not exceed the maximum suggested use rate for either pre-plant or preemergence
|
||
applications.
|
||
DIURON 4L Alone: Make a single application as a broadcast or band spray, using the following broadcast rates; for band treatment,

hooded sprayer applications.
|
||
Late Season (Lay-By) – Apply 0.8 to 1.2 quarts per acre 0.8 to 1.6 quarts in Arizona and California) when cotton is at least 12" tall (at
|
||
least 20" tall for Pima S-2). For control of germinating weed seedlings, apply to soil beneath cotton plants and between rows
|
||
immediately after last cultivation. In irrigated cotton, best weed control is obtained if the field is irrigated within 3 to 4 days after
|
||
application; thoroughly wet the surface of the ground over the row to carry the herbicide into the root zone of germinating wee ds.
|
||
Alternatively, for control of emerged annual weeds (up to 4" in height) at lay-by time, make a single application in combinatio n with a
|
||
non-ionic surfactant (1 pt. per 25 gal. spray), or use 0.4 to 0.6 quart DIURON 4L (plus surfactant) per acre and repeat later if needed.
|
||
Replanting: If initial seeding fails to produce a stand, cotton may be replanted in soil treated preplant or preemergence with DIURON
|
||
4L, alone or following pre-plant application of Trifluralin products. Wherever possible, avoid disturbing original bed. If nec essary to
|
||
rework soil before replanting, use shallow cultivation such as discing; do not relist or move soil into the original drill area. Plant seed at
|
||
least 1" deep. Do not retreat field with a second preplant or preemergence application during the same crop year as injury to the crop
|
||
may result.

subsequent crops may result.
|
||
For subsequent crops in fields where Trifluralin product is used, follow instructions on the Trifluralin label.
|
||
GRASS SEED CROPS
|
||
(Perennial except where specifically indicated)
|
||
Except as noted, apply only to established plantings at least 1 year old. Apply a single application per year at up to 2.4 quarts per acre.
|
||
May be applied by aerial application in the Pacific Northwest only. Do not make more than one application per year.
|
||
Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, New Mexico and Oklahoma: On sand bluestem, side oats grama and switchgrass, apply 1.6 to 2.4
|
||
quarts per acre during the dormant period shortly before weed seedlings emerge. Do not apply after crop begins growth in the spring as
|
||
crop injury may result. In fields where ash residues have accumulated from burning straw, use 2.4 quarts per acre; spread unbur ned
|
||
chaff or straw with a harrow or chopper before application.
|
||
Western Oregon, Western Washington: On alta fescue, Astoria bentgrass, Highland bentgrass, Kentucky bluegrass (Merion
|
||
bluegrass) and orchardgrass, apply 1.6 to 2.4 quarts per acre between October 1 and November 15. In fields where ash residues have
|
||
accumulated from burning straw, use 2.4 quarts per acre; spread unburned chaff or straw with a harrow or chopper before application.
|
||
For best results, apply as soon as possible after fall rains start. Established weeds (beyond 2 to 4 leaf stage) should be removed prior to
|
||
treatment.
|
||
Well established vigorous stands of spring-planted alta fescue, Kentucky bluegrass and orchardgrass may be treated the following fall
|
||
provided the crop is planted before April 1 and treatment is not applied before October 15; use 1.6 quarts per acre.
|
||
Oregon, Idaho & Washington (New Plantings): For use in newly planted bentgrass, Chewing fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, perennial
|
||
ryegrass, orchardgrass and tall fescue. During planting operation, spray a suitable brand of activated charcoal as a 1" band o n soil
|
||
surface at rate of 300 lbs. per acre (broadcast basis; equivalent to 15 lbs. per acre of crop where row spacing is 20"). Mount nozzles to
|
||
apply directly over seed rows to prevent crop injury. Follow with DIURON 4L as a single broadcast spray at rate of 2.0 to 2.4 quarts per
|
||
acre; apply as soon as possible after planting but before crops or weeds emerge and before rains or sprinkler irrigation. Fall or spring
|
||
plantings may be treated; best results usually occur with early fall plantings. Treatment will not control downy brome or wild oats.
|
||
Eastern Washington, Eastern Oregon: Established Perennial Bluegrass and fescue. Apply 0.8 to 2.4 quarts of DIURON 4L per acre
|
||
as broadcast in enough diluent to get even distribution for suppression. Apply in spring before rapid growth begins and when th e
|
||
windgrass is still small (1 to 4 leaf). Do not use on coarse (sandy) textured soils.
|
||
|
||
11
|
||
Oregon and Washington: Apply in the fall to perennial ryegrass at the rate of 0.8 to 1.6 quarts per acre and to tall fescue at the rate of
|
||
1.6 to 3.2 quarts per acre. Use a sufficient volume of water (a minimum of 25 gallons per acre) for thorough coverage of weed foliage.
|
||
For best results, make applications at the onset of the fall rains and before weeds have become established (typically October 1 through
|
||
November 15). Established weeds beyond the 2 to 4 leaf stage should be removed prior to treatment. Apply only to well establis hed
|
||
vigorous stands. Do not apply to perennial ryegrass stands less than one year old. Use mechanical agitation and avoid overlap of
|
||
spray patterns. Weed control efficacy may be reduced in fields where ash residues have accumulated from burning straw.
|
||
Annual Ryegrass for the Creation of Rows: Apply 0.8 to 1.6 quarts per acre as a directed or shielded spray so the intended crop row
|
||
area is not treated. These applications should be made where excessive populations of annual ryegrass are anticipated to volun teer
|
||
from previous crops. Applications can be made as a directed/shielded spray during seeding or after emergence of annual ryegrass .
|
||
These applications generally will occur between October 1 and January 15. DIURON 4L is most effective when applied before annual
|
||
ryegrass volunteer plants have more than 2 leaves. If larger plants are to be treated, addition of a labeled postemergence herbicide will
|
||
provide more effective control.
|
||
Adjust nozzle heights and spacing to allow the establishment of the desired row width (generally about 3”) and spacing (generally 9” to
|
||
12”). Use of low pressure nozzles, shielded nozzles, or drop nozzles to reduce spray movement in the intended crop row area is
|
||
recommended.
|
||
Fine Fescue Grass Seed Crops (including chewings, creeping red, and hard fescue types): For the suppression of rattail fescue,
|
||
apply 0.8 to 1.6 quarts per acre on soils having at least 1% organic matter. Do not use on sand, loamy sand, gravelly soils, or exposed
|
||
subsoils.
|
||
Crop Stage and Application Timing: DIURON 4L is recommended for use on healthy vigorous stands of fine fescue. DIURON 4L can
|
||
be applied to stands established at least 1 year or to new plantings that have been established for at least 6 months and have a
|
||
minimum of eight tillers at time of application.
|
||
Apply in the fall before grass weeds are beyond the 1 to 2 leaf stage and before broadleaf weeds are larger than 1” to 2” tall or across.
|
||
Use the high end of the rate range for large weeds or where weed populations are high.
|
||
Approximately ½” to 1” of rainfall or sprinkler irrigation is needed to move DIURON 4L into the weed zone before weeds develop an
|
||
established root system. Weeds larger than the size indicated or those having a well-established root system before DIURON 4L is
|
||
properly activated by rainfall/irrigation may not be adequately controlled.
|
||
Weed control may be reduced by heavy straw residues or ash from field burning.
|
||
Tank Mixes: DIURON 4L can be applied either alone or in a program involving tank mixes with other herbicides and adjuvants. When
|
||
using a tank mix with other herbicides, use 0.8 to 1.2 quarts per acre unless prior experience indicates it is safe to use high er rates.
|
||
Tank mixes with other herbicides can increase the risk of crop injury. When using a certain tank mix for the first time, limit use to a small
|
||
area to determine safety before treating large areas.
|
||
Use Precautions:
|
||
x Do not replant treated areas to any crop within 2 years of last application as injury to subsequent crops may result.
|
||
x Do not apply to snow covered or frozen ground as injury to the crop or poor weed control may result.
|
||
x Do not treat stands lacking in vigor due to poor fertility, environmental stress, insect or disease, or damage from other herbicides.
|
||
Perennial Ryegrass, Tall Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass, and Fine Fescue (Grown for Seed): For control of certain broadleaf weeds
|
||
and annual grasses apply this product only to well-established vigorous stands of grasses as directed below. Use sufficient wa ter (a
|
||
minimum of 25 gallons per acre) for thorough coverage of weed foliage. For best results, make application at the onset of fall rains and
|
||
before weeds become established (typically October 1 through November 15). Weeds beyond the 2 to 4 leaf stage will usually not be
|
||
controlled. Use higher rates within the range listed when treating larger weeds and heavier weed infestation. Weed control ma y be
|
||
reduced where straw or ash residues have accumulated on the soil surface. Lack of moisture to activate the herbicide may reduc e
|
||
weed control. Tank mixtures or sequential treatments with other herbicides may reduce crop tolerance and increase risk of crop injury.
|
||
When using DIURON 4L in a tank mix or in a sequential treatment with other herbicides, do not use the maximum rates listed unle ss
|
||
compatibility and the potential for phytotoxicity have been evaluated. Crop tolerance may be reduced and the likelihood of crop injury
|
||
may increase when crop is under stress caused by weather, diseases, and insects.
|
||
Perennial Ryegrass (Established)(Oregon Only): Apply 0.8 to 1.6 quarts per acre per season (October 1 through mid-January) to
|
||
control seedling grasses and broadleaf weeds such as annual bluegrass and others named on this label.
|
||
Tall Fescue (Established)(Oregon Only): Apply 1.6 to 2.4 quarts per acre per season (October 1 through mid-January) to control
|
||

|
||
same field.
|
||
Established Perennial Bluegrass (Grown for Seed) (Washington, Oregon, Idaho): Broadcast 0.4 to 1.0 quart per acre in sufficient
|
||
diluent to provide even distribution of product for weed suppression. Apply in the spring before rapid growth of bluegrass beg
|
||
ins and
|
||
when windgrass is still small (1 to 4 leaf). Do not use on coarse (sandy) textured soils.
|
||
OATS
|
||
Do not replant treated areas to any crop within one year after last application as injury to subsequent crops may result.
|
||
|
||
12
|
||
Drill-Planted Spring Oats - Idaho, Eastern Oregon, Eastern Washington: Use in areas where average annual rainfall exceeds 16".
|
||
Make a single application of 0.8 to 1.2 quarts per acre after planting, either before or after oats emerge but within 6 weeks of planting.
|
||
Best results are usually obtained when application is made 3 to 4 weeks after planting. Apply before weeds are 3" to 4" tall.
|
||
Drill-Planted Winter Oats and Mixtures with Peas or Vetch - Western Oregon and Western Washington: Make a single
|
||
application of 1.2 to 1.6 quarts per acre as soon as possible after planting but before emergence of the crop.
|
||
PEAS (Austrian Field)
|
||
Western Oregon: DIURON 4L is for selective control of certain weeds in Austrian field peas. Apply 1.2 to 1.6 quarts DIURON 4L per
|
||
acre as a broadcast spray with air or ground equipment as soon as possible after planting but before crop emerges for control of weeds
|
||
such as chickweed, sheperdspurse, wild mustard, fiddleneck, lambsquarters, pigweed, and annual bluegrass. Use lower rate on
|
||
coarse-textured soils and higher rate on fine-textured soils.
|
||
Do not use DIURON 4L on sand, sandy loam, gravelly soils, or exposed subsoils or on soils having less than 1% organic matter as crop
|
||
injury may result. Do not replant treated area to another crop within 1 year of application. Crop injury may result if severe winter stress
|
||
or disease or insect damage to the crop follows application.
|
||
PEPPERMINT
|
||
Washington, Oregon, Idaho: Apply 0.6 to 0.8 quart per acre on soils having 1 to 2% organic matter. Apply 0.8 to 1.6 quarts per acre
|
||
on soils having 2.1 go 3.0% organic matter. Apply 1.6 to 2.4 quarts per acre on soils having more than 3.0% organic matter.
|
||
Use Precautions:
|
||
x Do not apply to stands of mint suffering from stress due to low fertility, drought, winter injury, insects, disease, or damage from other
|
||
herbicides or other causes.
|
||
x Do not apply to snow covered or frozen ground as injury to the crop or poor weed control may result.
|
||
x Do not apply to sand, loamy soil, gravelly soils, or exposed subsoils. Do not apply to soils that have a high salt content an d/or high
|
||
water table or poor drainage that retards mint root development resulting in a shallow root system.
|
||
x Do not apply to soils having less than 1% organic matter.
|
||
Application Timing: Apply DIURON 4L to established (at least one year) stands of mint during the late winter dormant period or after
|
||
flaming in the spring prior to the emergence of new growth. Do not cultivate after application. If weeds are present at the time of
|
||
application, the use of a surfactant at 0.25% v/v or crop oil concentrate at 1.0% v/v may be used to increase the performance of
|
||
DIURON 4L postemergence to weeds.
|
||
Tank Mixes and Sequential Treatments: DIURON 4L can be applied either alone or in a program involving tank mixes and/or
|
||
sequential treatments with other herbicides and adjuvants providing DIURON 4L is not applied to actively growing mint plants.
|
||
When using a tank mix with other herbicides, use the lower end of the DIURON 4L use rate range unless prior experience indicates it is
|
||
safe to use higher rates. Tank mixes and sequential treatments with other herbicides can increase the risk of crop injury. When using a
|
||
certain tank mix or sequential treatment for the first time, limit use to a small area to determine safety before treating large areas.
|
||
RED CLOVER
|
||
Western Oregon: Make a single application of 1.6 quarts per acre on established red clover stands (at least 9 months). Apply DIURON
|
||
4L when red clover is dormant (October 15 to December 15). Do not apply to seedling red clover, and do not replant treated are a to
|
||
any crop within one year after last application as injury to subsequent crops may result.
|
||
Treatment will control annual weeds such as bluegrass, chickweed, hawksbeard, rattail fescue, rye grass, and velvet grass.
|
||
SORGHUM (Grain)
|
||
Southwestern States: Apply 0.2 to 0.4 quart per acre; add 1 pt. of a non-ionic surfactant per 25 gals. of spray. Apply as a directed
|
||
postemergence spray after sorghum is 15" tall to control weeds 2" to 4" in height. DO NOT SPRAY OVER TOP OF SORGHUM. Use
|
||
the lower rates on broadleaf weeds up to 2" tall; use the higher rate on grasses up to 2" and broadleaf weeds up to 4" tall. W hen the
|
||
lower rate is used, a second application may be made if needed provided the amount applied in one crop year does not exceed 0.4
|
||
quart per acre. Treatment of weeds under drought stress is usually ineffective.
|
||
Do not replant treated areas to crops other than cotton or corn within 4 months following band treatment and 6 months following
|
||
broadcast treatment as crop injury may result.
|
||
SUGARCANE
|
||
To prevent possible crop injury on new cane varieties, tolerance to DIURON 4L should be determined prior to adoption as field practice.
|
||
Do not treat sugarcane growing on thinly covered subsoils or rocky areas as crop injury may result. Temporary chlorosis of the crop
|
||
may result from application over emerged cane; to minimize chlorosis, use directed postemergence sprays. Application over emerged
|
||
cane should be made only as directed below without the addition of a surfactant or crop oil concentrate.
|
||
DIURON 4L may be applied as a directed spray (including hooded and shielded spray) in combination with paraquat. Consult the label
|
||
of the tank mix partner for rates and timings of application, restrictions and precautions.
|
||
Florida Preemergence - For high organic soils, apply 1.6 to 3.2 quarts per acre as a broadcast or band spray prior to weed emergence
|
||
after planting or after harvesting plant crop (for ratoon crop).
|
||
Florida Postemergence - Make 1 or 2 applications of 1.6 quarts per acre as needed by directed spray inter-row. Alternatively, for
|
||
panicum control, make up to 3 applications of 0.4 to 0.8 quart per acre as a directed spray after cane has emerged but before panicum
|
||
exceeds 2" in height: add 1 qt. of a non-ionic surfactant per 100 gals. of spray. Adjust nozzles to spray beneath cane plants and
|
||
between rows to cover weed foliage and to minimize contact of cane leaves with spray or drift. Do not apply more than 4.8 quarts total
|
||
per acre between planting (or ratooning) and harvest.
|
||
Hawaii Postemergence: Apply 1.6 to 4.8 quarts per acre as a broadcast spray prior to weed emergence after planting or after
|
||
harvesting plant crop or ratoon crop. A second and third application of 1.6 to 3 quarts per acre may be made as a broadcast spray over
|
||
emerged cane or by directed spray inter-row.
|
||
|
||
13
|
||
If weeds are emerged, add a non-ionic surfactant to the spray at the rate of 1 to 2 qts. per 100 gals. and apply as directed sp ray. DO
|
||
NOT SPRAY OVER TOP OF CANE.
|
||
Do not apply more than 3 treatments or more than 9.6 qts. in Hawaii total per acre between planting (or ratooning) and harvest. Treated
|
||
areas may be planted to sugarcane or pineapple one year after last application.
|
||
Puerto Rico Postemergence : Apply 3.2 to 5.0 quarts per acre as a broadcast spray prior to weed emergence after planting or after
|
||
harvesting plant crop or ratoon crop. A second and third application of 1.6 to 3.2 quarts per acre may be made as a broadcast spray
|
||
over emerged cane or by directed spray inter-row.
|
||
If weeds are emerged, add a non-ionic surfactant to the spray at the rate of 1 to 2 qts. per 100 gals. and apply as directed sp ray. DO
|
||
NOT SPRAY OVER TOP OF CANE.
|
||
Do not apply more than 3 treatments or more than 8 quarts per acre in Puerto Rico between planting (or ratooning) and harvest.
|
||
Treated areas may be planted to sugarcane or pineapple one year after last application.
|
||
Louisiana, Texas: Apply 2.4 to 3.0 quarts per acre. DIURON 4L may be applied as a broadcast spray after planting and following the
|
||
harvesting of sugarcane. DIURON 4L may also be applied broadcast in late winter. Application is best when made prior to weed
|
||
emergence. DIURON 4L may also be applied as a post-directed spray immediately after the last cultivation. Direct the spray
|
||
application to the base (no more than 1/3 the plant height) of the sugarcane plants. When small weeds (3” or less) are present at
|
||
application, add a surfactant at 0.25% v/v or crop oil concentrate at 1.0% v/v to the spray mix.
|
||
Use Precautions: Temporary leaf yellowing may occur following application. Do not apply more than 6 quarts per acre broadcast per
|
||
year. Use proportionately less for band applications.
|
||
TRITICALE (Oregon Only)
|
||
Crop injury may result where severe winter stress, disease, or insect damage follows application. Winter-sensitive varieties may be less
|
||
tolerant of DIURON 4L than winter-hardy varieties.
|
||
Crop injury may result from failure to observe the following:
|
||
x Do not use on sand or loamy sand soils or on gravelly or sandy loams with less than 1% organic matter.
|
||
x Do not use on thinly covered or exposed subsoils (clay knolls). Do not treat triticale planted less than 1” deep.
|
||
x Do not treat triticale where winter climatic conditions have caused “heaving” of plants.
|
||
x Do not treat triticale plants lacking in vigor due to poor emergence, insect damage, disease, high alkalinity, or other causes.
|
||
x Do not apply after triticale has reached the “boot stage” of maturity.
|
||
x Unless specified otherwise, do not use with surfactants or nitrogen solution.
|
||
x Do not replant treated areas to any other crop within 1 year after last treatment (except as noted) as injury to subsequent crops may
|
||
result.
|
||
East of Cascade Range: Where average annual rainfall exceeds 16 inches, make a single application at the rate of 0.8 to 1.2 quarts
|
||
per acre. For early fall planted triticale (seeded before September 10), apply 3 to 6 weeks after planting but before weeds are 3 to 4
|
||
inches tall. Treatment after October 1 has generally given best results. Application should not be made after soil freezes in the fall.
|
||
Triticale planted in late October should not be treated until the following spring. For spring treatment, apply as soon as triticale starts to
|
||
grow. Treatment made prior to April 10 will usually give good results, provided weed growth is less than 4” tall. Application later than
|
||
May 1 may give poor results. Alternatively, make a single application of 0.4 to 0.8 quart DIURON 4L plus 0.25 lb. bromoxynil per acre
|
||
as a tank mix, in either the fall after triticale has emerged but before soil freezes or in the spring as soon as soil thaws. Apply before
|
||
weeds are more than 2” tall or across.
|
||
Where average annual rainfall is 10” to 16”, following fall planting, make a single application of 0.8 to 1.2 quarts per acre where sufficient
|
||
moisture is available to germinate triticale seed. Apply before soil freezes and before weeds are 2” tall. Application later than March 1
|
||
may give poor results. If fall planted triticale fails to grow due to winter kill or adverse growing conditions after fall treatment, only fields
|
||
treated before November 1 may be replanted to spring triticale. Spring triticale should not be planted before April 1 and only after deep
|
||
discing and plowing to a depth of 4” to 6” prior to planting. Do not make a second application during the same crop year or injury to the
|
||
crop may result.
|
||
West of Cascade Range: Make a single application of 1.2 to 1.6 quarts per acre as soon as possible after planting. If triticale and
|
||
weeds have emerged, apply before weeds are 3” to 4” tall. Alternatively, apply a tank mixture of DIURON 4L plus bromoxynil as
|
||
detailed above in East of Cascade Range section.
|
||
Other areas: Make a single application in the spring as soon as triticale (fall planted) starts to grow and before weeds are 2” tall.
|
||
Application later than May 1 may give poor results.
|
||
WHEAT (WINTER)
|
||
Use Precautions: Crop injury may result where severe winter stress, disease or insect damage follows application; winter-sensitive
|
||
varieties may be less tolerant of DIURON 4L than winter-hardy varieties.
|
||
Crop injury may also result from failure to observe the following:
|
||
x Do not use on sand soils, loamy sand soils nor on gravelly or sandy loams low in organic matter (less than 1%), nor on thinly covered
|
||
or exposed subsoil areas (clay knolls);
|
||
x Do not treat wheat planted less than 1" deep;
|
||
x Do not treat wheat where winter climate conditions have caused "heaving" of plants;
|
||
x Do not treat wheat plants lacking in vigor due to poor emergence, insect damage, disease, high alkalinity or other causes;
|
||
x Do not apply after wheat has reached the "boot" stage of maturity.
|
||
x Do not use DIURON 4L in combination with surfactants or nitrogen solutions unless otherwise specified.
|
||
x
|
||
Do not replant treated areas to any other crop within 1 year after last treatment (except as noted) as injury to subsequent crops may
|
||
result.
|
||
|
||
14
|
||
Idaho, Oregon and Washington - East of Cascade Range: Areas Where Average Annual Rainfall Exceeds 16 inches: Make a single
|
||
application of 0.8 to 1.2 quarts per acre.
|
||
xFall Treatment: For early Fall-planted wheat (seeded before September 10), apply 3 to 6 weeks after planting but before weeds are
|
||
3" to 4" tall. Treatment after October 1 has generally given best results. Application should not be made after soil freezes in the fall.
|
||
Wheat planted in late October should not be treated until the following spring.
|
||
xSpring Treatment: Apply as soon as wheat starts to grow in the spring. Treatment made prior to April 10 will usually give good
|
||
results provided weed growth is less than 4" tall. Application later than May 1 may give poor results.
|
||
Alternatively, make a single application of 0.4 to 0.8 quart DIURON 4L plus 1/4 lb. bromoxynil per acre as a tank mixture, either in the
|
||
fall after wheat has emerged but before soil freezes or in the spring as soon as soil thaws; apply before weeds are 2" tall or across.
|
||
Areas Where Average Annual Rainfall is 10 to 16 inches following planting: After wheat is planted in the fall, make a single application of
|
||
0.8 to 1.2 quarts per acre where sufficient moisture is available to germinate wheat seed. Apply before soil freezes and before weeds
|
||
are 2" tall. Application later than March 1 may give poor results.
|
||
NOTE: If fall planted wheat fails to grow due to winter kill or adverse growing conditions after fall treatment, only fields treated before
|
||
November 1 may be replanted to spring wheat. Spring wheat should not be planted before April 1, and only after deep discing and
|
||
plowing to a depth of 4" to 6" prior to planting. Do not retreat field with a second application during the same crop year as injury to the
|
||
crop may result.
|
||
Oregon and Washington - West of Cascade Range: Make a single application of 1.2 to 1.6 quarts per acre as soon as possible after
|
||
planting; if wheat and weeds have emerged, apply before weeds are 3" to 4" tall. Alternatively, apply a tank mixture of DIURON 4L plus
|
||
bromoxynil as detailed above for "East of Cascade Range".
|
||
Other Areas of Oregon, Washington: Make a single application in the spring as soon as wheat (fall-planted) starts to grow and before
|
||
weeds are 2" tall. Application later than May 1 may give poor results.
|
||
Central Plains and Midwest: Use 0.8 to 1.6 quarts per acre.
|
||
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas: Do not use on sand or sandy loam soils. Use 0.8 quart per acre on silt and silt loam soils and 1.2 to

|
||
FILBERTS
|
||
DIURON 4 L is recommended for control of certain weeds in filbert orchards established for at least 1 year.
|
||
Do not apply more than 2.2 quarts per acre per application nor more than 3.2 quarts per acre per year. When using DIURON 4L in a
|
||
sequential treatment program, allow a minimum of 150 days between applications. Apply a maximum of 2 applications per year. Apply
|
||
DIURON 4L as directed spray avoiding contact on the foliage and fruit with spray or drift. Make an initial treatment of 2.2 quarts per
|
||
acre in the last fall or early winter after harvest. Repeat annually with 2.2 quarts per acre or apply 1.6 quarts per acre in October or
|
||
November after harvest and repeat at the same rate in March or April.
|
||
x Do not apply when nuts are on the ground.
|
||
x Do not graze livestock in treated orchards.
|
||
x Do not use on light sandy soils.
|
||
x If trees are planted on hillsides, the elimination of weeds and ground cover may cause excessive soil erosion.
|
||
x Under these conditions strip applications of DIURON 4L (at proportionately lower rates) may be made near the trees or to the tree
|
||
rows perpendicular to the slope.
|
||
GRAPE
|
||
Apply only to established vineyards (at least 3 years old) as a band treatment to grape rows. On soils low in clay or organic matter (1 to
|
||
2%), severe plant injury may result if heavy rainfall or more than one inch of irrigation occurs soon after treatment. This ri sk must be
|
||
assumed by the user. Do not apply more than 4 quarts per acre per application and do not apply more than 8 quarts per acre per year.
|
||
A maximum of two applications per year may be applied and the minimum retreatment interval is 90 days. Avoid direct or indirect spray
|
||
contact to foliage and green bark (nonbarked vines with the exception of undesirable suckers).
|
||
East of the Rocky Mountains: On soils low in clay or organic matter (1 to 2%), apply 1.6 to 2.4 quarts per acre; on soils high in clay or
|
||
organic matter, apply 2.4 to 4.8 quarts per acre. Apply in the spring just prior to germination and growth of annual weeds.
|
||
West of the Rocky Mountains: For best results, apply during the winter months when weeds are less than 2” in height or diameter.
|
||
For initial treatment apply 2.4 to 3.2 quarts per acre; subsequent annual applications of 1.6 quarts per acre will usually give adequate
|
||
weed control. Do not apply to vines with trunks less than 1-1/2" in diameter as injury may result. Rainfall or overhead sprinkler irrigation
|
||
sufficient to wet the soil to a depth of 2” is necessary to active the herbicide. Abnormally heavy rainfall following application just before
|
||
sprint growth may move the herbicide into the root zone of grapes which could result in injury.
|
||
New York and Pennsylvania - Perennial Grasses: Use only in established vineyards (at least 4 years old) for spot control of perennial
|
||
grasses such as orchardgrass, quackgrass and ryegrass. Apply in the spring as a band treatment to ridged soil (2" to 4" high) under the
|
||
treIIis at the rate of 6.4 to 8.0 quarts per acre. Band width should not exceed 30". Do not apply more than once every 4 year s. Use
|
||
only on heavy soils such as loams, silt loams, clay loams. Do not use in areas where grape roots are shallow or exposed because of
|
||
high bedrock, poor drainage, or erosion as injury to grapes may result.
|
||
MACADAMIA NUTS
|
||
Hawaii: Use only under trees established in the orchard for at least 1 year. Apply 1.6 to 4.8 quarts per acre immediately after harvest

ORNAMENTAL CROPS
|
||
(See Soil Limitations)
|
||
|
||
18
|
||
ORNAMENTAL BULB CROPS (Bulbous Iris, Narcissus) - Western Washington: Make a single application of 3.2 quarts per
|
||
acre. Apply after planting but no later than 4 weeks prior to bulb emergence (usually late September or October). Do not repl ant
|
||
treated areas to any crop within 1 year after last application as injury to subsequent crops may result.
|
||
PLUMOSUS FERN - Florida: Hand weed and mow fern; then make a single application of 2.4 quarts per acre within 3 to 5 days.
|
||
Do not cultivate or disturb soil after application as crop injury may result. Treat only established stands at least 1 year old.
|
||
TREE PLANTINGS:
|
||
Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming: Use only under established plantings (1 year or older) of
|
||
American elm, caragana, cottonwood, Douglas fir, green ash, honeysuckle, Ponderosa pine, red cedar, Russian olive and Siberian
|
||
elm. Use 2.0 to 4.0 quarts per acre; apply as a band 4 ft. wide in the tree row (2 ft on each side of row). For example,1.6 o unces
|
||
DIURON 4L treats 135 feet of tree row (2 ft. on each side of row) at the rate of 4 quarts per acre. Apply as a directed spray in early
|
||
spring before weeds emerge and before trees leaf out. Do not apply to foliage of trees, nor under trees growing in low areas as
|
||
injury to the trees may result.
|
||
Idaho, Oregon, Washington: DIURON 4L is recommended for control of weeds to aid in the establishment of hybrid poplar
|
||
plantings. Apply 0.8 to 2.4 quarts per acre depending upon soil texture and organic matter content. Use 0.8 to 1.6 quarts per acre
|
||
on coarse–textured soils and 1.6 to 2.4 quarts per acre on medium to fine textured soils. Do not use on gravelly soils or on a ny soil
|
||
having less than 0.5% organic matter as injury to trees may result. Injury may result from applications to poplar plantings gr own on
|
||
sandy soil with low organic matter with sprinkler irrigation. When applied in a band, the application rate will be in proportio n to the
|
||
area banded on a per acre basis.
|
||
Apply in late winter or early spring as a uniform broadcast spray before or after planting but prior to bud swell or as a direc ted spray
|
||
after bud swell. Apply before weeds emerge or after emergence while weeds area small. Some rainfall or water is necessary to
|
||
move DIURON 4L into the weed root zone before weeds become well established. If weeds are present at time of treatment, add a
|
||
surfactant at 1 to 2 quarts per 100 gallons of spray solution.
|
||
PREPLANT: Take precautions to prevent treated soil (usually top 1 inch) from coming into contact with roots of trees during the
|
||
planting process as injury may result.
|
||
POST-PLANT (BROADCAST): It is best to wait until rain or irrigation has settled the soil around the newly plant trees before
|
||
applying DIURON 4L. If trees are dormant, a broadcast application can be made.
|
||
POST-PLANT (DIRECTED): If buds have started to swell, use a directed spray pattern that prevents DIURON 4L from contact with
|
||
trees as injury may result. During the growing season (from bud swell to leaf drop), DIURON 4L may be applied (alone or with t ank
|
||
mix) between tree rows in shielded and directed sprays.
|
||
DIURON 4L can be tank mixed with a glyphosate herbicide preplant and as a directed spray to broaden the spectrum of weeds
|
||
controlled and improve post-emergence activity. Use 0.8 to 2.4 quarts DIURON 4L plus glyphosate herbicide (according to label
|
||
recommendations) depending upon soil type and weeds to be controlled.
|
||
Note: There are several formulations of glyphosate herbicide. Check the glyphosate herbicide label to verify that the intende d use
|
||
as a pre-plant or post-directed spray on hybrid poplar plantations is allowed. Avoid contact of glyphosate herbicide with foli age,
|
||
green stems, trees, or other desirable vegetation because severe damage or destruction may result.
|
||
NON-CROP WEED CONTROL
|
||
DIURON 4L is an effective herbicide for the control of many annual and perennial grasses and herbaceous weeds on non-cropland
|
||
areas where bare ground is desired. The degree of control and duration of effect will vary with the amount of chemical applied , soil
|
||
texture, rainfall and other conditions.
|
||
DIURON 4L may be used as a preemergence treatment at anytime of the year except when ground is frozen, provided adequate
|
||
moisture is supplied by rainfall or artificial means to activate the herbicide. Best results are obtained if application is ma de to the soil
|
||
shortly before weed growth begins. If dense growth is present, remove tops and spray the ground.
|
||
Increased contact activity on established weeds may be obtained by the addition of a non-ionic surfactant at the rate of 2 qts. per
|
||
100 gals. of spray mixture. Apply as a drenching spray to actively growing weeds during warm weather when daily temperature wi ll
|
||
exceed 70 degrees F.
|
||
Except for small areas, use a fixed-boom power sprayer properly calibrated to insure a constant rate of application. Mix prope r
|
||
amount of DIURON 4L into volume of water necessary to obtain uniform coverage: If a non-ionic surfactant is used, dilute with 1 0
|
||
parts of water and add as last ingredient to nearly full tank. Material must be kept in suspension at all times. Agitate by m echanical
|
||
or hydraulic means in the spray tank; if by-pass or return line is used, it should terminate at bottom of tank to minimize foam ing.
|
||
Openings in screens should be equal to or larger than 50 mesh.
|
||
Note: DIURON 4L may be applied by either ground application equipment or by air application (helicopter only) for the control o f
|
||
various weeds and grasses in rights-of-way sites. When making aerial applications, apply in sufficient water volume to ensure
|
||
thorough coverage of the site to be treated; generally 3 gallons of water per acre are sufficient.
|

||
not totaled at least 4 inches, fill ditch with water and allow to stand for 72 hours. Drain off any waste water remaining befor e using
|
||
ditch. Do not treat any ditch into which roots of trees or other desirable plants may extend as injury may result.
