Then offer for recycling or reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or incineration, or if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke. GENERAL INFORMATION Weather conditions and plant conditions affect defoliation. Weather conditions that favor good defoliation are high temperature, high humidity, low wind velocity, high to adequate soil moisture. Plant conditions which favor good defoliation are ample fertility and moislure, complete insect control. Nulrients should be ample but not too much nitrogen. LEAVES SHOULD BE GREEN AND TURGID (NOT WILTED, TOUGHENED OR STUNNED BY LACK OF FERTILIZERS). ~/s MATURITY- Boll load heavy, most bolls mature, vegetative growth ceased, little or no second growth. BEANS, DRY (Not for use in California) - To facilitate harvest and reduce bean seed moisture, apply 1 gallon of 6 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. Do not graze treated fields or feed treated fodder or forage to livestock. CHILIPEPPERS (Not for use in California) -Apply li2 to 1-114 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. GUAR BEANS (Not for use in California) - To facilitate harvest and reduce bean seed moisture, apply 1 gallon of 6 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 minimumof 20 gallons of total solution per acre. Do not graze treated fields or feed treated fodder or forage to livestock. COTTON - Defoliation - Do not treat later than 7 to 10 days prior to harvest. Thorough coverage of the plant is essential. AIR APPLICATION: Apply 2 or 3 quarts of 6 LB. SODIUM CHLORATE per acre in sufficient water to make 4 to 10 gallons 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 suffiCient 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 temperatures found in some areas at mid-day. GROUND MACHINE APPLICATION: Apply 2 to 3 quarts of 6 LB. SODIUM CHLORATE per acre in sufficient water to make 15 to 30 gallons total solution per acre. Cotton defoliants should be applied when 70% of the bolls are open. Poor defoliation often occurs under unfavorable weather, soil moisture, fertility and plant condiOons. Uniform defoliation within a field may sometimes be difficult to obtain because of irregular plant maturity. Satisfactory defoliation may not be obtained with cotton plants that 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. Flush out equipment with water after each day's work. FLAX (Not for use in California) - For Use As A Harvest Aid: To desiccate trashy weeds and desiccate the mature crop, apply 1 gallon 6 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 days before anticipated harvest date. For air application, use minimum of 5 gallons ready-to-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. GRAIN SORGHUM: kl a desiccant, apply 3 quarts to 1 gallon 6 LB. SODIUM CHLORATE per acre 7 to 10 days before harvest Application should be made in enough water for thorough coverage. Apply a total of. 4 to 10 gallons of spray per acre by air and 10 to 20 gallons per acre by ground equipment. CORN (Not for use in California) • 6 LB. SODIUM CHLORATE may be used as a harvest aid for desiccation of trashy weeds in early maturing com. Use 1 gallon of product in 5 to 7 gallons of water per acre by air. Apply alleast 14 days before anticipated harvest date on ciear days when temperatures are expected to go above 700 F. Use the 5 gallon rate when weeds are small and the crop canopy is fairly open. DO NOT graze treated fields or feed fodder, forage or residual seeds within 14 days of application. RICE: kl a pre-harvest desiccant, apply 3 quarts to 1 gallon 6 LB. SODIUM CHLORATE in enough water for thorough coverage. By air, use a minimum of 5 gallons per acre. Application should be made 7 10 10 days before harvest. Do not graze treated fields or feed treated straw or crop residues within 14 days of application. SAFFLOWER: kl a pre-harvest desiccant, apply 1 gallon 6 LB. , SODIUM CHLORATE per acre in enough water for thorough coverage. By air apply 5 to 10 total gallons of spray per acre. By ground, apply 20 to 30 gallons of total spray per acre. Application should be made 7 to 10 days before harvest when safflower heads are fully mature. Do not apply later than 7 days before harvest Do not feed treated forage or graze treated fields. Not for use in California. SOYBEANS: kl a pre-harvest desiccant. apply 1 gallon of 6 LB. SODIUM CHLORATE per acre in enough water for thorough coverage. By air, apply a minimum of 5 gallons of spray solution per acre; for ground application, apply a minimum of 20 gallons of spray solution per acre. Application should be made 7 to 10 days prior to normal anticipated harvest. Do not feed treated foliate or graze treated fields. Not for use in California. SUNFLOWER: As a pre-harvesl desiccant, apply 1 gallon of 6 LB. SODIUM CHLORATE per acre to fully mature seedheads in enough water for thorough coverage.
