WHEAT, OATS, BARLEY AND RYE
Apply as a water mix spray by ground sprayer or airplane. Use 1/2 to 1 pint per acre for the more susceptible weeds after crop has reached the 3-to 4-leaf stage up to boot stage. Use up to 12/3 pints per acre for the less susceptible weeds after crop has tillered and up to early boot stage.
• Do not spray from boot to dough stage. • Do not forage or graze meat animals on treated areas within 7 days of slaughter.
•Do not forage or graze dairy animals on treated areas within 7 days after treatment.
• Do not apply more than 12/3 pints (0.75 lb. acid equivalent) per acre per year.
FLAX
Use 1/4 to 1/2 pint per acre. Apply by ground sprayer or by airplane. Apply only when weeds are up and when flax is 4 to 8 inches high and before it comes into bud. Treatment after early bud stage may result in severe damage. If Canada thistle is present, it may be necessary to go as high as ½ pint per acre to prevent seed head production. Some injury to the flax may result. • Do not forage or graze meat animals on treated areas within 7 days of slaughter.
• Do not forage or graze dairy animals on treated areas within 7 days after treatment.
• Do not apply more than 1/2 pints (0.25 lb acid equivalent) per acre per year.
GRASSES
ESTABLISHED PASTURE/RANGELAND
Use 1 to 3 pints per acre. Apply by ground sprayer in not less than five gallons or by airplane in not less than two gallons total spray volume. Use higher rate for White Top, Canada thistle and other less susceptible weeds. Spray perennials in early bud to full bloom stage and regrowth in fall; other weeds in spring or fall, when actively growing. • Do not forage or graze meat animals on treated areas within 7 days of slaughter.
• Do not forage or graze dairy animals on treated areas within 7 days after treatment.
• Do not apply more than 31/4 pints (1.5 lb. acid equivalent) per acre per year.
• Do not apply more than 2 applications per year with a minimum retreatment interval of 21 days.
GRASSES GROWN FOR SEED (aerial and surface applications)
Use 1 to 2 pints per acre, the higher rate where weed stands are heavy. In established grasses, apply in spring before head comes into boot and on seedling grass after grass has tillered. Note: For weed control in grasses, repeated treatment may be needed for less susceptible weeds. In some areas bent, buffalo, carpet and St. Augustine grasses may also be injured by treatment.
• Do not apply more than 3 1/4 pints (1.5 lb. acid equivalent) per acre per year
• Do not apply more than 2 applications per year with a minimum retreatment interval of 21 days.
NON-CROP SPRAYING (In non-crop areas such as Roadsides, Fence Rows, Rights-of-Way and similar places to control Canada Thistle, White Top and Meadow Buttercup)
For spot treatment, use 1/4 pint in 3 to 4 gallons of water. Spray to wet weeds thoroughly when in bud to early bloom and again on fall regrowth.
• Do not apply more than 61/2 pints (3.0 lb acid equivalent) per acre per year. For broadcast treatment apply 2 to 3 pints per acre in sufficient water to give coverage for most extensive areas. Spray to wet weeds thoroughly when in bud to early bloom and again on fall regrowth.
• Do not apply more than 2 applications per year with a minimum retreatment interval of 21 days.
• Do not apply more than 31/4 pints (1.5 lb acid equivalent) per acre per year.
• Do not forage or graze livestock or dairy animals on treated areas within 7 days of treatment.
GOLF COURSES
For controlling whitetop, dandelions and similar weeds, apply 1 to 2 pints per acre in sufficient water to provide thorough coverage. Treatment may reduce stands of clover which may be present. Do not apply to newly seeded turf until grass has become well established. MCPA may injure bent or other creeping grass types. For best result treat thistles when in the early bud stage.
• Do not apply more than 31/2 pints (1.5 lb acid equivalent) per acre per year.
• Do not apply more than 2 applications per year with a minimum retreatment interval of 21 days.
SOD FARMS
For broadcast application, apply 1 to 3 pints per acre in a spray volume of 10 to 100 gallons of water. Use the higher rate for heavy infestations or less susceptible weed species. For best results, apply in spring or fall when weeds are rapidly growing and do not mow for 2 days before or after application. For spot treatment in small areas, use 1 fluid ounce per 1,000 square feet in 1 to 3 gallons of spray and apply uniformly. NOTE: Repeat applications may be required for less susceptible weeds. In some areas, bent, buffalo, carpet and St. Augustine grasses may also be injured.
• Do not apply more than 31/4 pints (1.5 lb acid equivalent) per acre per year.
• Do not apply more than 2 applications per year with a minimum retreatment interval of 21 days.
