Crop and/or Non-Crop Registrations Apples, apricots, cherries, highbush blueberries, peaches, pears, plums, spearmint, peppermint, and strawberries; with napropamide on new plantings of apples, apricots, cherries, plums, peaches and pears.
Sensitive Weeds Barnyard grass, bluegrass, crab grass, foxtail, chickweed, cheat grass, perennial rye grass, wild barley, mustard, prickly lettuce, stinkweed, annual sow-thistle, henbit, lamb's-quarters, pigweed, purslane and ragweed. Partial control of quack grass, horsenettle, vetch and yellow nut sedge.
Uptake and Translocation Uptake is mostly through roots, although partially through foliage and stem. Translocation is upward into leaves.
Basis of Selectivity  Used only on established plantings so that roots of crop are below depth to which chemical penetrates. May also be slower translocation and faster degradation in tolerant species.
Application Methods Apply to the soil surface in 200-1000 L water/ha. If weed growth is present in apples, paraquat may be mixed with spray. Rates for strawberries are considerably lower and can be applied in spring, post-harvest or late fall. Control of perennial grasses may be improved by cultivation prior to treatment.
Residual Activity May be up to 2 years. Residues are likely to be higher on heavier soil types if higher rates and repeated applications are used.
Unique Characteristics Moisture is necessary to activate the chemical within 2 weeks after application. Do not apply on soils with less than 1% organic matter, nor on eroded soil areas. Use lower rates on soils with 1%-2% organic matter. Do not apply on weak or diseased strawberry plants.
