Where these biotypes are known or sU$pected to be pres.ent, and are found in a mixed weed population in which Propanil is effectNe, a tank mixture of Propanil80EDF herbicide with either Pro~ or Bokl-ro*SEC is recommended to control bamyardgr3ss (up to the 3 leaf stage).

) ) PROPANIL eOEDf acts only on grasses and weeds which have already germinated. (Maximum activity u!.uaUy is not apparent until 5 to 7 days af.er application.) To prevent more weeds from germinating after treatment, fields should be ftooded within 24 hours after spraying, or as soon as possible al'ter 24 hQurs. Flooding after spraying win improve the grass control after PROPANIL SOEDF treatment. In eases where nooding of the field would not be complete wrthin seven days or tess after application of PROPANIL SOEDF, it is best to treat a. portion of the field, floed that treated portion, and thon treat the remaindr. This wilf heIRPJv~=!t~!!,statJon of weeds and grasses. Hloher rates 5 - 7.5 Ibs. may be necessary on the remaInder since the grass wilt be more mature. If the rice is too small to maintain a neod on the fleW, treatment should 00 delayed unbl rice Is large enough. The grass may then be farge enough to require 5 - 7.5 Ib$. of PROPANll80EDF. Avoid treatment if rain threatens within 8 houR or If high winds may cause uneven application c)r drift. In case of unseasonably coofweather, higher rates (5 - 7.5IbaJacre) of PROPANIL 8O€DF may be necessary. The number of leaves of barnyard or watergrass determine the til'llt' and amount of PROPANfL 80EDF to spray, regardless of the size of the rice. The temperature a few days before and after applying PROPANll 80EDF herbicide has an important bearing on the weed kimng activity. The actiVity increase .. 3S dally maximum temperature'S increase above 75°F and decreases as the daily maximum temperatures decline below 7SoF. 00 not apply PROPANIL 8OEOF herbicide when ma)('nnum temperatures have been or are expee1:ed to stay below 6S G F or to go -above 100. low temperaruce at Ume of application is not 90 important as long aa it warms up later during the day. The grower should inspect fields frequently to determine p.roper time of application. The ideal application time is when most bamyardgras8 has one to three leaves, with only an occasional plant having four leaves. During drought conditions grasses may reach the three leaf stage while still quite short or stunted, so special attention to stage of growth is necessary In those situations to avoid grasses becoming foo mature for be$t resWts. Apply 3.75 ~ 5.0 Ibs. of PROPANll 80EDF per acre when most grass has reached the one to three feaf stage, Use 5.0 - 7.5Ibs. of PROPANIL 80EDF per acre ifgrasscs are targer, with most in the four to six leaf stage. Mix PROPANll80EDFthoroughly with water for spraying, w:.ing vigorous. mechanical agitation. For AERIAL APPLICATION dilute the proper amount of PROPANIL SOEDF with 10 to 12 gallons of water per acre If humidities are low, increse to 12 to 15 gallons of water per acre. For GROUND EQUIPMENT dilute the prl)per afnollnt of ?ROPMIL 80EOF with 15 to 25 gallons of water per acre. Lesser amounts of water onli3n give inadeqtlate coverage and may cause poor resutts. If fields eannot be completely drained $0 that all of the grass is exposed, a higher dosage of PROPANIL 80EDF (5 ~ 7.5IbsJacre) must be used, NOTE: VVhcn PROPANfL 80EDF is. applied, especially after the fourth Icarstage of growth aftho rice, under some conditions, visible leaf injury on rice may result However, the rice pl-dnts quick~:I outgrow such injur/ when caused by the later applications. USE IN CALIFORNIA ONLY 1fJhere rice fields are not completely drained. To control watcrgrass, appy PROPANll 80EDF 30 to 45 days after planting, before rice is fulJ tiller-cd, ..... 'hen watergrass extends 6 to a inches above water surface. If rice has a deep ncod, water leve! may be lowered to 3-4 inches over highest part of field to expose 6-8 inches of water grass. ('M"1en lowering water level, do so slowly to avoid pulling down rice plants.) Use 5 Ibs. pe( acre .f mostgrnss has developed 3-5 leaves, ue 6.25 Ibs. if most gra&s has 5-6 leaves, and u'Se 7.5Ibs. per acre if most gran has 7 or more leaves. Apply in no less than 10-12 gallons of water. using a medium-fine spray. If higher water level is desired after treating, refiooding may be &tarted 12 hours afte( treatment USE RESTRICTIONS ON SMALL GRAINS If another herbicide is required, a 3-day interval should be allowed,between the application of a PropaniVMCPA combination and the other herbiCide. Grain crops that hive been or will be treated with PropaniVMCPA combination should not be treated with carbamate insecticid"!'\ '1' Ich as carbaryl (Sevirf), mettlOmyl (Lannate-,,), or organophosphates (methyl paratl'lion, Guthiorf) or severe Injury or kill may 'r"'I·tt" If iii foliar insecticide is nec-es.sary, malathion can be safely applied 14 days before or after treatment.

""SuppreMion ~ may cause spotting, stunting or death of kochia not exceeding the 4 leaf stage. A Propana 80EDFIMCPA tani< mix is recommended for control of susceptible weed seedlings when applied as a single post emergence application at the rate of 1.2-1.42 Ibs. Propantl80EDF plus g..11 oz. of either MCPA LV Eeter or SEE® MCPA LV Ester per acre {3.7Ibs. af. per gallon). The lower rate shoukl be applied when weed eeedlings are growing under favorable s.oil moisture condftions. The higher rates are recommended when heavy weed pressure is present or less than favorable soil moisture conditions exist. Do not apply when soil moisture levels are deeper than 1.5 inches from the soil surface and actNe plant growth stops. The addition of a crop oil concentrate such as Riverside Prime Oil at a rate of 1 pint per acre to Propanil 80EDF is required to achieve consistent weed control. A PropaniliMCPA tank mix is most eRective in controJnng foxtail if spray applications are made when the majortty orthe emerged foxtail are in the 2 to 3 reaf stage. Effectiveness declines rapidly as the 4th leaf of the foxtail begins to emerge. Fields should be checked frequently for emerging foxtait starting 2 to 2 112 weeks after planting. This tank mi:< may causa temporary yetlowing or tip browning to the leaves of the grain crop 2 to 5 days. after application. The effects are temporary and usually win disappear 10 to 14 days after application.
