produced adequate foliage for herbicide uptake. For a par- <br />ticular weed, see Special Weed Control section below. <br />Bahiagrass Control: Apply Journey® herbicide at the <br />rate of 16 to 32 oz per acre postemergence. See Special <br />Weed Control section below for instructions. <br />TALL FESCUE CONTROL <br />Tall fescue can be controlled by using Journey at the rate <br />of 32 oz per acre plus methylated seed oil at 2 pints per <br />acre. The addition of nitrogen fertilizer (See Spray <br />Adjuvants For Postemergence Applications section) <br />will aid in control. Tall fescue must be actively growing for <br />optimum control. If tall fescue has reached the boot stage <br />or has reached summer dormancy, control may be poor. <br />For improved control of tall fescue, Journey may be tank <br />mixed with Accord® herbicide, Roundup Pro® herbi- <br />cide, or glyphosate. Fall applications of Journey at 21.3 <br />to 32 oz/A plus Accord or Roundup Pro at 8 to 48 oz/A <br />will result in best control of existing tall fescue and new <br />germinating seedlings. With spring applications, use <br />Journey at 16 to 32 oz/A, plus Accord or Roundup Pro <br />at 16 to 48 oz/A. Use higher rates for older, mature fescue <br />stands. Burning the fescue stand, where permitted, during <br />the winter dormant period will aid in control by removing <br />plant residues that can interfere with spray coverage. <br />Mowing the fescue several times the summer before fall or <br />spring applications will weaken the fescue root system <br />making it more susceptible to herbicides. Always allow for <br />at least 10 inches of regrowth following the last mowing <br />before spraying, as both Journey and glyphosate prod- <br />ucts need foliage present for herbicide uptake and satis- <br />factory control. <br />Tall Fescue Conversion To Big Bluestem, Little <br />Bluestem and Indiangrass: Journey can be used for <br />the control of tall fescue in the fall prior to the spring <br />establishment of big bluestem, little bluestem and <br />Indiangrass. Other prairiegrass species and forbs that may <br />be included in the seed mix will have varying tolerance to <br />this treatment. Journey control of tall fescue is best when <br />applied in the fall, but spring applications can be effective <br />when the tall fescue stand has been weakened by mow- <br />ing, burning or a combination of the two. Journey should <br />be applied in the fall or spring at a rate of 32 oz per acre <br />plus 32 oz of Roundup Pro, Accord or glyphosate and <br />32 oz per acre of methylated seed oil. This application will <br />provide control of established tall fescue stands along with <br />residual control of tall fescue seedlings that germinate in <br />the spring. Burning the fescue stand, where permitted, <br />during the winter dormant period will aid in control by <br />removing plant residues that can interfere with spray cov- <br />erage and provide a better seedbed for planting. Mowing <br />the fescue several times the summer before fall or spring <br />applications will weaken the fescue root system making it <br />more susceptible to herbicides. Always allow for at least <br />10 inches of regrowth following the last mowing before <br />spraying, as both Journey and Roundup products need <br />foliage present for herbicide uptake and satisfactory <br />control. <br />SITE PREPARATION PRIOR TO THE <br />ESTABLISHMENT OF DESIRABLE PLANT SPECIES <br />Journey may be used to control noxious weeds and other <br />undesirable vegetation in preparation for the establishment <br />of desirable plant species including some native <br />prairiegrasses, other grasses, desirable brush, wildflowers <br />and legumes. Because of the residual weed control char- <br />acteristics of Journey, only certain desirable species can <br />be planted following a Journey application. Desirable <br />plant species other than those listed below may be estab- <br />lished following a Journey application, but significant <br />stand thinning or stand loss may occur. Desirable plant <br />species tolerance will also be determined by the time <br />duration between the Journey application and planting, <br />the density of undesirable vegetation at the time of appli- <br />cation and environmental factors. A longer time interval <br />and higher undesirable vegetation cover will increase <br />seeded desirable species tolerance. <br />For site preparation in noncropland areas prior to <br />prairiegrass, wildflower and /or legume establishment, <br />apply Journey preemergence or postemergence to the <br />existing vegetation during active growth at a rate of 10.7 <br />to 32 oz per acre. In prepared seedbeds, a maximum of <br />10.7 oz per acre should be used in the spring prior to <br />planting tolerant wildflower and legurne species. Always <br />include a spray adjuvant, preferably a methylated seed oil, <br />at 1 quart per acre. See Weeds Controlled and Special <br />Weed Control sections of this label for specific use <br />instructions. For rangeland applications to control cheat - <br />grass, Medusahead, annual mustards, etc., apply <br />Journey preemergence or early postemergence to these <br />weeds prior to planting. For best results for cheatgrass <br />control, apply Journey late summer or fall before cheat - <br />grass emerges and prior to planting desirable species. <br />Journey can also be used as a site preparation in this <br />manner prior to planting sage brush seedlings. The native <br />prairiegrass, other grasses and wildflower species listed <br />below, may be planted at any time in the spring following <br />the Journey application. <br />• <br />n <br />LJ <br />
