GENERAL INFORMATION 
Du Pont "Kmmex" DF Herbicide is a dispersible granule to be 
mixed in wafer and applied as a spray for selective control of 
Wt,ctis in certain crops and for wc,~d control on non-crophmd 
areas. It is non··colTosive to Cljuiprncnt, non-f1:unrnable and 
nOll-volatile. 
"K,U1IlCX" DE' may be applied to soil plior to emergence of 
weeds to control susceptible weed seedlings for an extended 
period of time; the degree of control and duration of effect 
will \.,uy' with the amollnt of chemical applied, soil texture, 
rainfall and other conditions. Soils high in clay or organic 
matter require higher dosages than soil low in clay or org<mic 
matter. for equivalent herbicide performance. Moisture is 
required to activate the herbicide; best results occur if rainfall 
(or sprinkler irrigation) occurs within 2 weeks of application. 
"Karmcx" DF applied before emergence of crop and weeds. is 
an effective procedure because susceptible weed~ are 
controlled in an early, vulnerable seedling stage before they 
compete with the crop. With favorable moisture conditions, 
"Kannex" DF continues to control weeds for some time as the 
crop becomes bettcr able to compete. Should weed seedlings 
begin to break through the preemergence Ircatment in 
significant numbers, secondary weed control procedures 
should be implemented; these include cultivation and 
posternergence herbieide application. 
"Kanncx" DF 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 
conditiolls of high humidity and tClllpenltures of 70 degrees F 
or high(~r. Addition of a surfactant to the spray (where 
recommended) increases contact etTects of "Karmex" DF. 
"Karmex" DF may be used as a directed postemergence 
application. Contact of crop foliage and/or fruit with spray or 
mist must be avoided on the following crops: artichoke, com 
(field), cotton. sorghum (grain), sugar cane and established 
plantings of apples, bananas, plantains, blueberries, 
cancbemes, gooseberries, citrus, grapes, macadamia nuts, 
olives, papayas, peaches, pears, pecans, walnuts and ccl1ain 
tree plantings. 
Under specified conditions (see Directions for Use), 
"Karmex" DF without surfactant may be applied over the top 
of alfaItil (established, dormant or semidonnant), asparagus 
(established), birdsfoot trefoil (established, dormant), grass 
seed crops (established), oats, red c10yer (established, 
dormant), sugar cane, wheat. and pineapple. 
Weed species vary in susceptibility to "Karmex" t>F and they 
may be more difficnlt to control when under stress. . 
Combinations of "Kmmex" DF with other herbicides (as 
registert,d) increase the number of weed species controlled; 
consult labels of Ule companion product for this and other. 
infommtion. Observe all cautions on labeling of all products 
used in mixtures. 
Since the effect of "Karmex" DF varies with soils, uniformity 
of application, and environmental conditions,5t is suggested 
that growers limit Ulelr first use to small arcas.

recommended) increases contact effects of "Kannex" D1'. 
Best re&ull, arc obtained on succulent weeds growing under 
conditions of high humidity and temperatures bf 70 degrees 
F or higher. 
EQUIPMENT 
Use a boom power sprayer properly calibrated to a constant 
speed and rate of delivery. Openings in screens should be 50 
mesh Of larger. Continuous agit<ltion in the spray tank is 
required to keep the material in suspension. Agitate by"' 
mechanical or hydraulic means; if by-pass or return line is 
used, it should terminate at bottom of tank. Avoid 
overlapping, and shut off spray booms while starting, 
tuming, slowing Of stopping, or injury to the crop may 
result. 
SPRA Y VOLUME AND PRESSURES 
For preemergence application, use 25 to 40 gals. per acre 
and spray pressure of 30 to 40 psi. For paste mergence 
application, use sufficient volume (min. 25 gals. per acre) 
for thorough coverage of weed foliage; use spray pressure 
of 20 to 25 psi to keep spray drift to a minimum. 
Aerial: For alfalfa, asparagus, barley (winter), cotton 
(preplant or preemergence only), gt""dSS seed crops, 
pineapple, sugar cane and wheat (winter), application may 
be made by aircraft at 5 to IO gals. per acre. Avoid 
overlapping of spmy swath and avoid application under 
conditions where excessive drift may oc(..'Ur. Where land is 
bedded, make application paraliel to rows. 
SPRAY PREPARATION 
Mix proper amount of "Karrnex" DF into necessary volume 
of water; where use of surfactarlt is recommended, dilute 
with 10 parts of water and.add as last ingredient to nearly 
full tank. 
USE RATES . . . All dosages of "Kannex" DF are expressed as ~roadc:tst 
rates; for band treatment, use proportionately Icss~ For 
, ; I \ r \ & 
example, use 113 of the broadcast rate W,len treating a 14" 
band where row spacing is 42". Where.~ range~f<..lp~ages is

higher rate on larger weeds. . , .• , •

SOIL LIMITATIONS 
Crop injury may result from failure to observe tlte 
following: 
Unless otlwnvise directed. do not use on sand. loamy sand, 
t~ravdly soils or exposed subsoils; nor on pecans where 
organic matter is less than 112%; nor on alfalfa, apples, 
art.ichoke, barley (winter), cotton, grapes, oats. olives, 
papayas, peaches, pears, sorghum, sugar cane, walnuts and 
wheat (winter) where organic matter is less than I %; nor on 
bluebclTies, birdsfoot trefoil, canebcnies, gooseberries, 
macadamia Iluts and peppermint where organic matter is 
less than 2%. 
Prccmergcncc weed control will be reduced on high organic 
matter soils such as peat Of muck. 
REPLANTING 
Unless otherwise directed, do not replant treated areas to 
any crop within 2 years after last application as injury may 
result. 
FIELD CROPS 
A good seedbed must be prepared before preemcrgence u~e 
of "Kanne x" OF, as crop injury may result if applicatioll is 
made to ground which is cloddy or compacted resulting in 
improperly plllllted seed. Plant seed to depth specified. 
Unless otherwise directed. the surface of the soil should not 
be cultivated or disturbed after application of ''Kamtex'' DF 
and before emergcnce of the crop as weed control may be 
reduced and crop injury may result. However. jf moisture is 
insufficient to activate thc herbicide. a shallow cultivation 
(rotary hoe preferred) should be made after emergence of 
crops while weeds are small enough to be controlled by 
mechanical means. See "Soil Limitations" for crops listed 
below. 
ALFALFA 
Treat only stands established for 1 year or more. Do not 
apply to seedling alfalfa nor to aJfaJfalgrass mixtures; do not 
apply to alfaJfa under stress from disease. insect damage. 
shall?w root penetration (such as on shaJlow hard pans). 
alkalI spots; nor to flooded fields as crop injury may result. 
Do not spray on snow-covered or frozen ground. 
Idaho, Oregon, Washington: Use 1 1I2 to 3 Ibs per acre. 
For contl'Ol of volunteer alfalfa, use 41bs per acre. Apply 
in fall after alfalfa becomes domumt but no later than 
mid-December. 
California (Dormant and Semi-Dormant Varieties): 
Use 1 112 t.o 3 Ibs per acre. For control of volunteer 
alfaml. use 4 Ibs per acre. Apply in fall or winter after 
alfalfa becomes dormant or semi-doITnant. but before 
growth begins in the spring. Crop injury may result if . 
application is made to actively growing alfalfa. For best­
results, apply before weeds have emerged or become 
established (2" in height or diameter). Control of . 
established weeds is improved by applyini. "Kamtex" DF 
with a suit.able contact herbicide registered for such use, 
Sufficient rainfall for soil activation of "Karmex" DF is 
unlikely in California after February I. Treated areas may 
be replanted to any crop after one year from last -
application if rate docs not exceed 2 Ibs per acre. 
4 
Arizona, Nevada: Use 1 1/2 to 3 Ibs per acre. Apply in fall 
after alfalfa becomes dormant. but no later th:m January. 
Eastem Colorado, Kansa~: For control of t,Ulsymustard. 
apply I Ib per acre shortly after emergence of mustard in 
the t~.rl or winter. Use 21bs pcr acre if weeds arc 2" to 4" in 
height. Alternatively, if other annual weeds are present, 
apply 2 to 3 Ibs per acre in February or Marcil. 
Other .Areas Where Alfalfa n.,comes Winter Dormant: 
Use I 112 to 3 Ibs per acre (I 112 to 2 Ibs per acre East of 
Appliachian Mountains). Apply in March or early April, 
but before spring growth begins. 
ARTICHOKE 
California: Apply 2 to 4 Ibs per acre in late fall or early 
winter after the last cultivation. Apply beti)fC ;weeds 
gemlinate or to emerging seedlings. Direct spmy to cover 
the area between the rows and al the base of artichoke 
plants. keeping contact with crop plants at a minimum. 
ASPARAGUS 
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 aspamgus. nor on plants with 
exposed roots as severe injury may result. Preemergence 
weed control will be reduced on soils with greater than 5% 
organic matter. 
Established Plantings: On light sandy soils and other 
soils low in clay or organic matter, apply I to 2 Ibs per 
acre. On soils high in clay or organic matter, use 2 10 4 
Ibs per acre. Two applications may be used; the first 
application should be made befofC weeds become 
established but no earlier than 4 weeks before spear 
emergence and no later thall 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 rainfaJI is expected. When two applications are 
used in one season, do not exceed 3 Ibs pel' acre per 
application. In Washington (inigated crop). apply a 
single treatment of 4lbs per acre. 
~f treatment is delayed until late winter or early spring, 
mcorporation of the chemical in the top I" to 2" of soil 
may substitute for lack of rain to activate the herbicide. 
California (San Joaquin Delta) 
Newly Planted Crowns: Make a single application of 2 
to 41bs per acre on soils high in clay or orgllrtie IlTl11tcr. 
Use the .lower rate on clay ]oanls and the highH hue on 
peat soils. Do not use on soils containing les.~·th?n ~(%

During a single crop wason, do not exceed the following 
amounts of "Karmex" DF per acre as injury to subsequent crops 
may result: I Ib on loamy sand; I 1121bs on sandy loam; 2lbs 
on clay loam; 2 3/41bs on clay. Injury may occur if "Karmcx" 
DF is used in conjunct.ion with soil-applied organic phosphate 
pesticides. Do not allow livestock to graze treated cotton plants. 
Prep/ant 
Arizona and California: Use "Kannex" DF alone, or apply 
a~ a sepanlte openltion following preplan! broadcast treatment 
with Treflan' (incorporated according to directions on 
'Tretlan" label). Apply 'Karmex" OF as a broadcast spray 
after beds are fomlCd, preirrigated. and fInal seedbeds 
prepared. Prior to planting, drag-offthe tops of the beds and 
plant in moist soil not treated with "Kannex" DF. Treated soil 
is returned to the bed after planting when irrig'dtion furrows 
are reformed after cotton has emerged. If more than two 
furrowing-out ope'<ltions are made prior to lay-by, or deep 
flllTOWS are made early, weed control may be reduced in 
fulTOW bottoms. Use at the following rates;

~ I (,­r /.J 
Use 'Kannex" DF alone or apply as a separate openltion 
following preplant treatment with 'Treflan". Apply "Kamlex" 
DF after planting but before cotton emerges. Shallow 
incorporation (no deeper than 114") with a rotary hoe or 
similar e.quipment following planling usually improves results 
especially during dry weather. A wide press wheel should be 
used Dn the planter to provide a level seedbed for subsequent 
early season postemergence treatments. If moisture is 
insufficient to activate "Karmex" DF or if soil becomes 
crusted before crop emerges, a shallow rotary hoeing (no 
deepc,r than 1/4") should be made before weeds become 
established. 
Note: Do not use on sand or loamy sand soils. 
Use only where cotton is planted on flat or raised seedbeds.

Replanting Cotton 
If initial seeding fails to produce a stand, cotton may be 
replanted in soil treated preemergencc with "Kamrex" OF, alone 
or following ''Tlcflan''(prc.plant). Wherever possible, avoid 
disturbing original bed. If necessalY to rework soil before 
Icplanting, lise shallow cultivation such as discing. Do not relist 
nor move soil into the original drill area. Plant seed at least I" 
deep. Do nut retreat field with a second preplan!. or 
preemcrgence application during the same crop year as injmy

WHEAl; Winter 
Crop injury may result where severe winter stress, disea<re 
or insect damage follows appliGation. Winter-sensitive 
varieties may be less tolerant to "Karmex" DF than winter­
hardy varieties. Crop injury may result from failure to 
observe the following: Do not use on sand or loamy sand 
soils, nor on giavelly or sandy loams with less than 1% 
organic matter, nor on 1l1inly covered or exposed subsoil 
areas (clay knobs). Do not treat wheat planted less than 1" 
deep. Do not treat wheat where winter climatic conditions 
have caused ''heaving'' of plants. Do not treat wheat plants 
lilcking in vigor due to poor emergence, insect damage, 
disease, high alkalinity or other causes; do not apply after 
wheat has reached the "boot" stage. Unless specified 
otherwise, do not lise with surf"ctant~. or nitrogen solution. 
Do not replant treated <u'cas to any other crop within I year 
after last treatment (except as noted) as injury may result

West of the Rocky Mountains: For best result~. apply during 
the winter months when weeds are less than 2" in height or 
diameter. Rainfall or overhead sprinkler irrigation sufficient 
to wet the soil to a depth of 2" is necessary to activate tile 
herbicide. Abnormally heavy rainfall following application 
just before spring growth may move the herbicide into the 
root 7.one of grapes which could result in injwy . foOt- initial 
treatment, apply 3 to 4 Ibs per acre. Subsequent annual

such as pigweed, crotalaria, momingglory, purslane. 
crabgrass, foxtail, goosegrass, fall panicuIll and sourgrass. 
WALNUTS, English 
California: Use only under trees established in the 
orchard for at least I year. As ml initial trcatment, apply 3 
to 5 Ibs per acre after the orchard has been laid up ill final 
Conn (nontillage program) in late fall or early winter. 
Retreat annually with 2 to 3 Ibs per acre. Al!crnativcly, 
apply 2 Ibs per acre in October (}f November and repeat 
in March or April.

NON-CROP WEED CONTROL 
"Kanncx" DF is an effective herbicide for control of many 
weeds. 'nlC degree of control and duration of effect will 
vary with the amount of chemical applkd, soil texture, 
rainfall and other conditions. 
"Kannex" DF may be lIsed as a preemergence treatment at 
any time of the year except when ground is frozen, provided 
adequate moisture is supplied by rainfall Of artificial means 
to activate the hcrb.icide. Best results arc obtained if 
application is made to the soil shortly before weed growth 
begins. If dense growth is present, remove tops and spray 
the ground. 
Increased contact aGtivity on established weeds may be 
obtained using a non··iouic wrfactant. Apply as a drenching 
spray to actively growing weeds during warm weather when 
daily temperature will exceed 70 degrees F. 
Use a fix.ed-boolll power sprayer properly calibrated to 
insure a constant ratc. of application. Mix proper amount of 
"Kanl1cx" DF into volume of water necessary to obtain 
uuifolID coverage. If surfactant is used, dilute wifh 10 part~ 
of water and add as last ingredient to nearly full tank. 
"Kmlllcx" DF must be kept in suspension at all times. 
Agitate by mechanical or hydraulic means in thc spray tank. 
If bypass Of retum line is used, it should tenninate at bottom 
of tank to minimizc foaming. Usc 50 mesh or larger screens. 
GENERAL WEED CONTROL 
To control weeds for an extended period of time on nOll­
cropl:md such as utility, highway, pipeline and railroad right 
of ways, petroleum tank farms, lumberyards, storage areas, 
industrial plant sites, around fann buildings, and similar 
areas--apply 5 to 15 Ibs per acre to control annual weeds

Irdgatioll and Drainage DitdlCs: Apply 5 to 15 Ibs per 
acre to control annual weeds as shown above. Apply only 
when water is not in the ditch. For irrigation ditches, apply 
during the non-crop season, and when ditch is not in use. 
To avoid crop injury, it is essential to minimize movcment 
of "Karmex" DF in irrigation water. The herbicide must be 
fixed in the soil by moisture. Apply before expected 
seasonal rainfall, if possible when soil in the ditch is still 
moist. Following treatment, if rainfall has not totaled at least 
4 inches, fill ditch with water and allow to stand for 72 
hours. Drain off and waste remaining water before using 
ditch. Do not treat any ditch into which roots of trees or 
other desirable plarlts may extend as injUl)' may result. 
TREE PLANTINGS 
Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South 
Dakota, Wyoming: Use only under plantings of 
Amctican elm, caragana, cottonwood, Douglas fir, green 
asll, honeysuckle, Ponderosa pine, redcedar, Russian olive 
and Siberian elm, of 1 year or older. Use 2 1/2 to 51bs per 
acre. Apply as a band 4 ft wide in the tree row (2 ft. Oil 
each side of row). For exam pIc, J oz. "Karmex" DF treats 
135 ft of tree row (2 ft. on each side of row) at thc rate of 
5 Ibs 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 may result 
RESISTANCE 
WllCn herbicides with the ~ame mode of action arc used 
repeatedly over several years to control HIe same weed 
specics in the same ficld, naturally-occurring resistant weed 
biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide 
trcatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field. 
These resistant weed biotypes may not be adequately 
controlled. Cultural practices such as tillage, preventing 
weed escapes from going to seed, and using herbicides with 
different modes of action within and between crop seasons 
can aid ill delaying the proliferation and possible dominance 
of herbicide resistant weed biotypes.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 
'nlC interaction of many equipment and wcathcH-elaled factors 
determines the potential it)!' ,pmy drift The applicator is 
responsible Ii,,. considering all thcS<.~ factors when making 
application decisions. 
/\. VOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIDlLITY OF 
DIE APPLICATOR. 
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE 
The most effective way to reduce dlift [x)tential is to apply large 
droplets (>150 - 200 microns). 11m bestdritl management 
strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufticient 
coverag<' and control. The presence of sensitive species nearby, 
the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how 
an applicator balances drift control and coverage. APPLYING 
LARGER DROPLETS REDUCES DRIFI' POTENTIAL, BUr 
WILL NOT PlmVENT DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE 
MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE 
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS! See Wind, 
Teml){'rature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions 
sections of this label. 
ContrOlling Droplet Size" General Techniques 
• Volnme - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest 
pmctical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows 
produce larger droplets. 
• PrCSSlll"e - Usc the lower spray pressures recommended for 
the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and docs not 
improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER fLOW 
RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER-CAPACITY 
NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE. 
• 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. 
ContrOlling Droplet Size" Aircraft 
• Number of Nozzles -Use the minimum number of nozzles 
with the highest flow rate that provide unifornl coverage. 
• Noule Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is 
emitted backwards, pamUcl to the airstream will produce 
larger droplt'ts than other orientations. 
• N07,zle Type - Solid S!ream nozzles (such as disc and core 
with swirl plate removed) OIicnted straight back produce 
larger droplets than other n07,zle types. 
• Boom Length -111C boom lcngth should not exceed 3/4 of 
the wing or rotor length - longer booms increase drift 
pott~ntial. 
• Application Heighl - Application more than 10 ft above the 
canopy increases the potential for spray drift 
BOOM HEIGHT 
Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified) 
which provides unitcmn coverage reduces the exposure of 
droplc~~ to evaporJtion and wind. For ground equipment, the 
boom should remain Itwel with tllC crop and have minimal 
bounce. 
WIND 
Drift potential increases at wind speeds ofless than 3 mph (due 
to inversion po~.ntial) or more than 10 mph. Howe\'er. mlmy 
factors, including droplet size and equipm(~nt type c1etemline 
drift potential at any given wind speed. A VOID GUSTY OR 
WINDLESS CONDITIONS. 
Note: Local tcn~lin can iniluencc wind pattems. EvClY 
applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how 
they alk.;! spray drifL 
Jif 
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY 
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up 
equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of 
evaporation. 
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS 
Drift potential is high during a tempemtum inversion. 
Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which 
causes small suspended droplel, to remain dose to the ground 
and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Temperature 
inversions are chardcterized by increasing temperature with 
altitude and arc common on nights willl limited cloud cover 
and light to no wind. They begin to foml as the slIn sel, and 
often continue into the moming. 'l11Cir 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 or an aircraft smoke gmcrato[. Smoke 
' .. that layers and moves latemlly in a concentrated cloud (under 
low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that 
moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical 
air mixing. 
12 
SHIELDED SPRAYERS 
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce tile 
effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the 
applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and 
not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.
