Methylated Seed Oils or Vegotable 00 Concentrates: Instead of a surfactant, 1
<br />a methylated vegetable-based seed oil concentrate containing 5 to 20% surfactant
<br />and the remainder of the methylated vegetable oil may be used at the rate of
<br />.5 to 2 pints per acre: ~ Methylated seed oils provide their greatest effects at 30 ,
<br />A or less. At spay volumes above 50 GPA, their advantage appears negated.
<br />en using spmy volumes greater than 30 gallons per acre methylated seed oil
<br />r vegetable based seed oil concenbates should be mtxed ai a are of I % of the
<br />toml spray volume or alternatively use a nonionic surfactant as described below.
<br />Research tndicates these oils may aid m deposition and uptake of PLATEAU
<br />herbicide for hard-to-control perennials, waxy leaf species or when plants are
<br />under moisture or tempeamrc stress. DO NOT use a methylated seed ail or
<br />vegetable ail concentate when making applications m newly emerged seedling
<br />pairiegasse5 or wildflowers as injury may occur.
<br />Nonionic Surfactants: Use a nonionic surfactant at the rate of 0.25% v/v or
<br />higher (see manufacturer's label) of the spmy solution (025 % v/v is equivalent
<br />to 1 quart in 100 gallons). For best results, select a nonionic surfactant with a
<br />HLB (hydrophilic to lipophilic balance) ratio between ]2 and 17 and having at
<br />least 60 % surfactant in the formulated product (alcohols, fairy acids, oils, ethylene
<br />glycol or diethylene glycol should not be considered as surfactants to meet the
<br />above requiinmenss).
<br />Silicone-Based Surfactants: Sec manufacurcr's label far speci5c au recom-
<br />mendations. Silicone-based surfactants may reduce [he surface tension of the
<br />spray droplet allowing greater. spreading on the leaf surface az compared to con-
<br />ventional nonionic surfactants. However, some silicone-based surfactants may
<br />dry too quickly, limiting herbicide uptake and higher spmy volumes may exhibit
<br />"mn-ofr '.
<br />Fertilizer/Surfactant Blends: Nitrogen-based liquid fertilizers such as 28%N,
<br />32%N, 10-34-0, or ammonium sulfate, may be added at the rate of 2 to 3 pints
<br />per acre in combination with the recommended rate of nonionic surfactant or
<br />methylated seed oil. Research indicates [hat ninogen based fertilizers aid in the
<br />bumdown of annual weeds and increase PLATEAU herbicide upmke through
<br />waxy leaf species. However, fertilizers may increase ph}ROtoxicity m desired
<br />species and newly emerged seedling pairiegasses and wildflowers. The use of
<br />liquid fertilizers at a rate of 2 to 3 pints per acre in a tank-mix without a nonionic
<br />surfactant or.a methylated seed oil is not recommendedand may result in herbicide
<br />failure. Only when liquid fertilizer is used as the spay carrier is no additional
<br />spay adjuvant required.

<br />GUIDELD4ES FOR RANGELAND USE
<br />PLATEAU herbicide may be applied to rangeland for the convol of undeniable
<br />vegeation in order to achieve one or more of the following vegetation management
<br />objectives:
<br />I. The control of undeniable (non-native, invasive ahd noxious) plant species.
<br />2. The control of undeniable vegetation in order to aid in the establishment of
<br />deniable angeland plant species.
<br />3. The control of undeniable vegetation in order to aid in the establishment of
<br />deniable rangeland vegetation following a fns.
<br />4. The connol of undesvable vegetation for purposes of wild5re fuel reduction.
<br />5. The release of existing deniable angeland plant communities from [he com-
<br />petitive pressure of undesirable plant species. rove-

<br />LATEAU herbicide should only be applied to a given angeland acre as specific
<br />geed problems arise. For the control of annual weed specres such az cheatgass,
<br />owny brome and medusahead rye, a single application of PLATEAU httbimde
<br />tat coincides with the successful establishment and/or release of deniable rang<-
<br />tnd vegetation and the use of available IPM can provide effective, sustainable
<br />ontrol of the annual weed problem. For difficult to control perennial weed species
<br />uch as leafy spurge, dalmatian toadflax and Russian knapweed, a singlebroadcast
<br />pplication of PLATEAU herbicide should be effective to most cases. If needed,
<br />pot neatenenss with PLATEAU herbicide can be used to control any remnant
<br />plants tit new seedlings that may emerge. Long term control of undeniable weed
<br />pastes ultimately depends on the successful use of land management poetises
<br />hat promote the growth and sus[ainability of desimble rangeland plant species.

<br />Spring Applications and Bermudagrass Tolerance: Spring application of
<br />PLATEAU herbicide should only be made after bermudagass has reached lOD%
<br />green-up. PLATEAU applications to betmudagass during transition from whi-
<br />ter dormanry to ]00% green-up will significantly delay green-up and growth of
<br />bttmudagass, insulting m the potential loss of one or more cumngs. Bemtuda-
<br />gmss can be considered to have reached 100% green-up only when all stolons
<br />(mnners) have developed new active growth- Partial green-up may be chaactu-
<br />ized by the green appearance of new bermudagmss growth in the field, but upon
<br />close inspection some of the stolons may not have begun m grow. PLATEAU
<br />applications made at this time can still cause significant reductions in bermuda-
<br />gass growth and development and should be delayed until 100% green-up. To

<br />gass weeds are at the desired growth stage (see recommended ams and growth
<br />stages below). Fatly Spring applications made during transition from dormancy to

<br />For summer annual grass control apply 4 m 6 oz per acre of PLATEAU early

<br />For summer perennial gross connol apply 6 to 12 oz per acre of PLATEAU
<br />postemergence following bermudagrass green-up. If higher rates (8 to 92 oz
<br />per acre) are needed for convol of target species, PLATEAU herbicide can be
<br />applied in the fall before killing frost occurs. When making a fall application,
<br />if bermudagrass has been cut for hay, allow sufficient regrowth of target species
<br />before making application. Always add a surfactant when applying PLATEAU
<br />herbicide unless liquid fertilizer is being used as the spmy carrier.
