- Product Information
Diuron 80DDF is not be used on turfgrass at residential sites (including homes, apartment complexes, condominium grounds, daycare facilities, schools, parks, recreational areas, and sports fields) .Use of this product in certain portions of California, Oregon, and Washington is subject to the January 22, 2004, Order for injunctive relief in Washington Toxics Coalition, et .al . v . EPA, C01-0132C, (W .D .WA) . For further information, please refer to http://www .epa .gov/espp/litstatus /wtc/ . Karmex DF is a dispersible granule to be mixed with water and applied as a spray for selective control of weeds in certain crops and for non-selective weed control on non-cropland areas . It is non-corrosive to equipment, nonflammable, and non-volatile .Karmex DF 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 conditions . Soils high in clay or organic matter require higher dosages than soils low in clay or organic 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 .Karmex DF applied before emergence of crop and weeds is an effective procedure because susceptible weeds are controlled in an early, vulnerable seedling stage before they compete with the crop . With favorable moisture conditions, Karmex DF 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 .Karmex 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 conditions of high humidity and temperature of 70°F or higher . Addition of a surfactant to the spray (where recommended) increases contact effects 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, corn (field), cotton, sorghum (grain), sugarcane, and established plantings of apples, bananas, plantains, blueberries, caneberries, gooseberries, citrus, grapes, macadamia nuts, olives, papayas, peaches, pears, pecans, walnuts, and certain tree plantings as injury may occur . Under specified conditions (see RECOMMENDED USES), Karmex DF 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, and pineapple .Weed species vary in susceptibility to Karmex DF and they may be more difficult to control when under stress . Combinations of Karmex DF with other herbicides (as registered) increase the number of weed species controlled . Consult labels of the companion product for this and other information . Observe all precautions and limitations on labeling of all products used in mixtures .Since the effect of Karmex DF varies with soils, uniformity of application, and environmental conditions, it is suggested that growers limit their first use to small areas
- Application Information
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator . The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift . The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions . The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops . These requirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses, or to applications using dry formulations .1 . The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor . 2 . Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees .Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed .The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information .
