GENERAL INFORMATION 
CORN: For desiccation of trash weeds in early maturing corn. use 2 gallons of 
Riverside Sodium Chlorate in 5 to 7 gallons of water per acre by air. Apply at least 
14 days before anticipated harvest date on clear days when temperature is expected 
to go above 70°F. Use the lower spray volume when weeds are small and the crop 
canopy is fairly open. 
NOTE: Do not graze treated fields or feed fodder. forage or residual seeds within 14 
days of application. 
conON DEFOLIATION: Weather conditions and plant conditions affect defoliation. 
Weather conditions that favor good defoliation are high temperature. high humidity. 
low wind vdlocity. high to adequate soil moisture. Plant conditions which favor 
l BEST AVAILABLE CO" 1

· . 
good defoliation are ample fertility and moisture, complete insect control, heavy boll 
load, all bolls mature, vegetative growth ceased, little or no second growth. 
Conditions that contribute to poor defoliation are those adverse to the above. 
Nutrients should be ample but not too much nitrogen. LEAVES SHOULD BE GREEN 
AND TURGID (NOT WILTED, TOUGHENED OR STUNTED BY LACK OF 
FERTILIZERS.) 
Apply 1 to 1 % gallons of Sodium Chlorate per acre in sufficient water to give 
thorough coverage. When using ground equipment, apply 10 to 20 gallons of spray 
solution per acre, and by air, 5 to 10 gallons of spray solution per acre. Thorough 
coverage is essential. Apply the lower rate (1 gallon per acre) when conditions are 
favorable for good defoliation. Apply the higher rate (1 % gallons per acre) when 
conditions are adverse for good defoliation. Apply Sodium Chlorate to mature 
cotton plants, after the youngest bolls expected to make cotton are at least 30 days 
old. Do not apply later than 7 days before harvest. Do not graze treated areas or 
feed any waste to livestock. 
BEANS (DRY): To facilitate the harvest of edible dry beans, apply two gallons of 
Sodium Chlorate in enough water to give thorough coverage, either by aircraft or 
ground equipment. For air application, use a minimum of 5 gallons of ready-to-apply 
material per acre, for ground equipment use minimum of 20 gallons of total solution 
per acre. Make applications 7 to 10 days before anticipated harvest date when 
beans are mature and ready for harvest. 
NOTE: Do not graze treatr.d fields or feed treated fO!iage to livestock. 
GRAIN SORGHUM: Sodium Chlorate may be used to reduce the moisture content in 
grain sorghum prior to harvest. It may be applied by aircraft or ground equipment. 
Thorough coverage of the grain sorghum is essential. 
To reduce the moisture content of grain ... vhile the crop is standing, apply 1 MI to 2 
gallons Sodium Chlorate per acre in sufficient water to give thorough coverage. 
Apply from 7 to 10 days before harvest. Apply a total of 5 to 10 gallons of spray 
per acre by airplanes and 10 to 20 gallons per acre by ground equipment. Use the 
lower rate when grain moisture is low and the weather is clear and dry. Use the 
higher rate when conditions for desiccation are poor. 
RICE: To facilitate harvest and reduce moisture in the fully mature seed heads and to 
desiccate immature red rice in mature white rice, apply by aircraft 1 Ya to 2 gallons 
of Sodium Chlorate per acre in 5 or more gallons of water per acre. Use the lower 
rate when crop conditions and weather are right to enhance rapid drying. Apply 7 to 
10 days before anticipated harvest. Do not apply under conditions which favor drift. 
Thorough coverage of the crop is essential to achieve good results. Do not graze 
treated fields or feed treated straw or crop residues within 14 days of application. 
Where double cropping of rice is practiced, do not flood fields for at least one week

' .. · . 
following harvest. 
SAFFLOWER: To facilitate harvest and reduce moisture in the fully mature seed 
heads, apply 2 gallons of Sodium Chlorate in sufficient water to give good coverage, 
7 or more days before normal harvest when safflower heads are fully mature. Apply 
in 5 to 10 gallons of water per acre by air or in 20 to 30 gallons of water per acre 
by ground. Do not apply later than 7 days before harvest. Do not graze treated 
fields or feed treated forage. Do not apply under conditions which favor drift. 
SOUTHERN PEAS: To defoliate plants and facilitate harvest, apply 2 gallons of 
Sodium Chlorate in enough water to provide thorough coverage either by aircraft or 
ground equipment. Make application 5 to 7 days before anticipated harvest date. 
Do not :ODPly under cOnditions of extreme heat during the middle of the day. For air 
application, use 5 to 10 gallons of total solution per acre; for ground application, use 
a minimum of 20 gallons of total solution per acre. 
NOTE: Do not graze treated fie:ds or feed treated fodder or forage to livestock. 
SOYBEANS: As a soybean harvest aid to dry weeds in early maturing soybeans and 
to facilitate the harvest, apply 2 gallons of Sodium Chlorate per acre in enough 
water to give thorough coverage; application may be made by ground equipment or 
aircraft. Make application 7 to 10 days before anticipated harvesting date when 
beans are mature and ready for harvest. For air application use a minimum of 5 
gallons ready-to-apply spray solution per acre; for ground equipment apply a 
minimum of 20 gallons of ready-to-apply spray solution per acre. Do not graze 
treated fields or feed treated soybtlan foliage. Do not apply under conditions which 
favor drift. 
SUNFLOWER: To facilitate harvest and reduce moisture in the fully mature seed 
heads, apply 2 gallons Sodium Chlorate in sufficient water to give good 
coverage, 7 or more days before normal harvest. Apply in 5 to 10 gallons of water 
per acre by air or in 20 to 30 gallons of water per acre by ground with a 
high clearance sprayer. Do not apply later tl1an 7 days before harvest. Do not 
graze treated fields or feed treated forage to livestock. Do not apply under
