<br />Depending on environmental conditions and weed pressure, the longevity of
<br />suppression and weed control increases as the PLATEAU herbicide rote increases.
<br />mixes with ROUNDUP PRO, ACCORD, or glyphosate may result in death
<br />xcessive injury of coastal bermudegmss.
<br />urf Type Bermudagrass: Turf type bermudagmss varieties show a high degree
<br />of variation in tolerance to PLATEAU hebbicide. PLATEAU herbicide at rotes of
<br />2 to 6 oz per acre will provide some amual weed control and foliar &seedhead
<br />suppression. Rates above 6 oz per acre may result in excessive injury or death of
<br />turf type bermudagtass.
<br />SEE ABOVE SECTIONS FOR PLATEAU HERBICIDE RATES AND TIM-
<br />INGS FOR SPECIFIC BERMUDAGRASS TYPES WITH REGARD TO
<br />WEED CONTROL AND TURF TOLERANCE.
<br />Winter Anoual Weed Control: Apply PLATEAU herbicide a[ the rote of 4 to l2
<br />oz. per acre prior to winter weed germhtation or while winter weeds are actively
<br />growing. Earty spring applications may delay green-up of bermudagrass turf.
<br />Summer Annual Weeds: For best results, apply PLATEAU herbicide at the
<br />rote of 4 to 12 oz per acre prcemergence or early pos[etnergence before weeds
<br />have reached 6 inches in height. Larger weeds may be controlled depending on
<br />susceptibility, growing conditions, tank-mix partntt and adjuvant selection.
<br />Perennial Weeds: Apply PLATEAU herbicide at the rote of 8 m 12 oz per acre
<br />pastemergence after weeds have produced adequate foliage for herbicide uptake.
<br />For a partiwlar weed see °SPECIAL WEED CONTROL" seMion below. The
<br />addition of ACCORD or ROUNDUP PRO herbicide may increase control.
<br />Bahiagrass Control: Apply PLATEAU herbicide at the rote of 8 m ]2 oz per
<br />acre postemergrnce. See "SPECIAL WEED CONTROL" section below for
<br />recommendations. Thc addition of ROUNDUP PRO or ACCORD herbicide at
<br />]2 to 16 oz per acre may increase control.
<br />FOR THE CONTROL OF UNDESIRABLE WEEDS IN UNIMPROVED
<br />CENTIPEDE GRASS
<br />PLATEAU herbicide may be applied at a rote of 4 m 8 oz per acre m established
<br />centipede gross for the control of annual broadleaf and grass weeds. Apply
<br />PLATEAU herbicide after centipede gross has reached full green-up. Spring
<br />applications made prior to full green-up may delay green-up. Always add a
<br />surfactant when applying PLATEAU herbicide. DO NOT a~ply m grass under
<br />sows from drough4 disease, insects or other causes. Simu taneous mow/spiny
<br />operations may suppress intemode development After mowing, allow adequate
<br />foliage regrowth poor to PLATEAU apphcadon as some inumode suppression
<br />may prevent centipede gross from quickly recovering from mowing.
<br />OR CONTROL OF UNDESIRABLE WEEDS IN SMOOTH
<br />~OMEGRASS, WH.DTYPE COMMON KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS
<br />WHEATGRASSES
<br />LATEAU herbicide may be used on smooth bromegrass, "wildtype" common
<br />Kenmeky bluegrass and whea[grass. PLATEAU herbicide provides control of la-
<br />beledgrass and broadleafwecds (see "WEEDS CONTROLLED^ and "SPECIAL
<br />WEED CONTROL" sections). Treatment of smooth bromegrass and wheatgmss
<br />with PLATEAU herbicide may result iv foliar height and seedhead suppression.
<br />Smooth Bromegrass and •`Wildtypd' Common Kentucky Bluegrass: Use
<br />PLATEAU herbicide at 4 to 8 oz per acre in the spring for weed control and
<br />growth suppression after smooth bromegrass and "wildtype" common Kentucky
<br />bluegrass have reached 100% green-up. Applications prior to 100%green-up may
<br />delay green-up. Rates from 8 to 12 oz per acre may be applied in the spring but
<br />may result in excessive growth suppression. For fall applications (see "SPECIAL
<br />WEED CONTROL" section), PLATEAU herbicide may be used at 8 to 12 oz
<br />per acre for control of perennial weeds.
<br />Wheatgrass: To control undesirable weeds in wheatgrasses apply PLATEAU
<br />herbicide at 4 m 12 oz. per acre.
<br />FOR CONTROL OF UNDESIRABLE WEEDS IN CROWN VETCH
<br />PLATEAU herbicide may be applied at the rote of4 az per acre m newly seeded
<br />crown vetch beds to aid m the establishment of vetch and reduce weed competition.
<br />PLATEAU herbicide at 8 to 12 oz per acre may be used on unimproved established
<br />crown vetch in noncropland areas. PLATEAU hefiicide provides control of
<br />labeled grass and broadleaf weeds (refer m the "WEEDS CONTROLLED^ and
<br />"SPECLAI. WEED CONTROL" sections for specific rotes). Treatment of crown
<br />vetch beds with PLATEAU herbicide may cause intemode shortening and some
<br />minor tip chlorosis depending on timing of appbcation. -
<br />PLATEAU herbicide should be applied during winter dormancy or early spring
<br />[o reduce potential injury. Applications made after May, may result in increased
<br />injury or defoliation. Addition of surfactants such as dilimenene based or crop
<br />oil concentrates will increase injury. Fall applications during the period of active
<br />crown vetch growth may result in severe injury or loss of stand.
<br />REVEGETA710N WITH PRAIRIEGRASSES AND OTHER FORAGE
<br />GRASSES
<br />PLATEAU herbicide may be applied at the rote of 2 to 12 oz per acre to newly
<br />established or existing stands of labeled species (see below for details) in such
<br />Gress as pasture, rangeland (see "GUIDELINES FOR RANGELAND USE"
<br />section), Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land and noncropland sites such as
<br />dsides, industrial sites, prairie restomnon saes, drainage ditch banks, and other
<br />dar areas. Certain local ecotypes or varieties maybe suppressed by PLATEAU
<br />rbicide. Many facmrs. such as poor seedling vigoy cool mmperamres, poor
<br />soil planting depth, excessive moismrq disease, insects and dry weather after
<br />emergence can all result in poor stands. Additional svess of herbicide residue,
<br />poor soils and other factors contributing to poor seedling vigor can also increase
<br />injury and could result m mortality. BASF can not be held responsible for
<br />such unforeseen factors. It is suggested to try PLATEAU herbicide on a small

<br />area if tolerance is not known. PLATEAU herbicide controls many annual and
<br />perennial gross and broadleaf weeds. Weed competition is reduced allowing gross
<br />seedlings m establish. PLATEAU herbicide is also effective for control of noxious
<br />weeds in established gross stands and must be applied postemergrnce as a fober
<br />treatment to perennial weeds. IMPORTANT: ALWAYS ADD AN ADIUVANT
<br />when applying PLATEAU herbicide. To max'unize weed control always use
<br />e methylated seed oil when treating established grass stands. Use a nonionic
<br />surfactant when treating newly emerged seedling grasses. The addition of liquid
<br />fertilizer will decrease gross mlerance and should not be used when treating newly
<br />emerged seedling grasses.
<br />PLATEAU herbicide may be applied at a rote of up to 12 oz per acre to Federal
<br />Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land for the establishment or release of
<br />certain Bass species (see "TOLERANT GRASS SPECIES" table).
<br />Establishment: For optimum results in establishing mixed gross stands with
<br />PLATEAU herbicide, make application at planting before gross seedlings emerge.
<br />Newly emerged grosses can be sensitive m PLATEAU herbicide and/or the ad-
<br />juvant used. If grasses have begun [o emerge, it is best m wait until they have
<br />reached the five leaf stage to make a PLATEAU herbicide application and use a
<br />nonionic or silicone surfactant. Do not use a methylated seed oil a[ this time as
<br />some gross species tolerance will be lost. PLATEAU herbicide will control annual
<br />weeds prcemergence or early posmmergence. See "WEEDS CONTROLLED"
<br />section for maximum height of weeds and see below for more details on Ixst rote
<br />and timing for grass and wildflower species. Postemergence applicabons may
<br />result in stand thinning due to variability in seedling gross tolerance m the use of
<br />spray adjuvants. Seedling grosses are generally more tolerant to the use of spray
<br />adjuvants after they have reached the five leaf stage. When planting into a field
<br />which was row cropped the previous year, compounded injury may occur from
<br />herbicide carry-ovtt (zee "DIRECTIONS FOR USE" section).
<br />Rates and Control: Apply PLATEAU hebicide at 2 to 6 oz per acre m fields
<br />cropped the previous year, when annual weeds are the target and/or if gmss/fofi
<br />mixtures are used. PLATEAU herbicide at 2 m 6 oz per acre will provide control
<br />and/or suppression of many annual gross and broadleaf weeds. Use lower rata
<br />when in the nordiem most U.S., dry climates or for late season plantings into
<br />clean seedbeds. PLATEAU herbicide rotes as low as 2 oz per acre maybe used
<br />on soils with a pH > 7, a low CEC and a course texture containing s miatmum of
<br />clay and organic matter. Use higher rates in heavy weed pressure, heavy residue,
<br />high organic matter, high rainfall and long growing season (southern,portions
<br />of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Ohio, etc.). Apply PLATEAU herbicide at 8
<br />to ]2 oz per sore for giant ragweed or for peretmial weed controUsuppressioa.
<br />PLATEAU herbicide rotes of 8 to 12 oz per acre may result in stunting or stand
<br />thinning. The duration and intensity of suppression are directly related to weed
<br />pressure, chemical residue, soil type and environmental conditions. See below for
<br />detaik for particular grass mlerances and timings.
<br />Established Stands: For opfvnum results, apply PLATEAU herbicide es an early
<br />posumergence application to annual grosses and broadleaf weeds. For perennial
<br />weed control, see "SPECIAL WEED CONTROL° section. The use of high
<br />rates may result in foliaz and/or seed head height suppression of established
<br />gross stands. This effect is more likely m occur under conditions of light soils,
<br />low weed pressure, low rainfall, and short growing seasons. Use the lower
<br />rotes for Egh[ weed infestations or when applying m gross stands containing
<br />desirable wildflowers and legumes (see "WILDFLOWER ESTABLISHMENT
<br />AND MAINTENANCE" section for rote tolerance). Use higher tutu m broaden
<br />and lengthen weed control spectmm.
<br />Big Bluestein, Little Bluestein and Indiangrass: PLATEAU herbicide may be
<br />applied at die'rote of 2 to 12 oz per acre at planting, or any time [hereafter,
<br />including after seedling grosses have emerged or to perennial smnds (dormant or
<br />actively growing). Sae "WEEDS CONTROLLED" Becton for desired rote. Use
<br />the lower rotes in Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Sovth Dakota, North Dakota,
<br />Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Nebraska and higher arcs as rainfall and/or growing
<br />season increases.
<br />Switchgrass (Panicum virgorum): PLATEAU herbicide is not recommended for
<br />the establishinrnt of pure switchgrass stands as severe injury or death may result.
<br />PLATEAU herbicide may be applied at a rote of 2 m 4 oz per acre if switchgmss
<br />is planted in mixed stands with tolerant species, but only if some stand thinning or
<br />loss of stand can be tolerated. Mature switchgrass planting can be reclaimed from
<br />certain poential weeds such as tall fescue, Icafy spurge, lohnsongrass, ate., with
<br />PLATEAU herbicide at rotes of ]0 to 12 oz per acre. However, severe stunting
<br />and injury is imminent. DO NOT apply PLATEAU herbicide to swimhgrass if
<br />such severe injury can not be tolerated.
<br />Sideoats and Blue Grama; Apply PLATEAU herbicide to monoculture smnds
<br />of Sideoats and blue gmma only if some stand thinning or loss of stand can be
<br />tolerated. PIATEAU herbicide may be applied at the rote of 2 m 4 orlA plus an
<br />adjuvant to aid in the establishment of Sideoats and blue gmma after new seedlings
<br />have emerged and reached the five (5) leaf stage, When using PLATEAU herbicide
<br />at 4 oz per acre it is not recommended to use N combination with a methylated
<br />seed oil adjuvant as stand thinning may occur. The lower rotes may provide
<br />adequate weed suppression in early summer plantings in the states of Wisconsin,
<br />Michigan, Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas
<br />and Nebraska and other stales where growing degree days are short. Sideoats and
<br />blue gmma have shown tolerance to PLATEAU herbicide at 2 m 4 oxlA, applied
<br />prcemergence a[ planting, however, some stand [hiiuiing may occur. For weed
<br />control in established stands use 4 to ]0 oz/A of PLATEAU herbicide. Up Lo
<br />12 oz/A of PLATEAU herbicide may be applied, but may result in foliar and/or
<br />seedhead suppression, or in the injury of Sideoats and blue gmma, depending on
<br />surfactant choice, soil type, variety, weed pressure and envirerunental conditions.
<br />Buffalograss: Apply PLATEAU herbicide at the rate of 2 to 4 oz/A for control
<br />or suppression of labeled weeds and to aid in the establishment of newly sprigged
<br />.Il rights reserved.
