SOIL PREPARATION

Surflan AS controls weeds growing from seed. Surflan AS will not control emerged weeds. Surflan AS does not control established weeds, weeds growing from stolens, rhizomes, or root pieces. Therefore, areas to be treated should be free of emerged weeds. Weed residues, prunings, and trash should be thoroughly mixed into the soil or removed prior to treatment. In field applications, the soil should be in good tilth and free of clods at the time of application.

Ground Application:

Apply Surflan AS as a directed spray to the soil surface or over the top of plants. Use only a properly calibrated, low-pressure, herbicide sprayer that will apply the spray uniformly. Use screens no finer than 50 mesh in nozzles and in-line strainers. Apply the appropriate rate of Surflan AS. In all cases, use sufficient water volume to obtain uniform coverage and deliver the desired rate of Surflan AS to the treated area. The volume of water used is not critical, as long as the desired rate of Surflan AS is delivered uniformly across the area treated. When calibrating, determine the volume of water delivered by the sprayer to a given area (1,000 sq. ft., 1 acre, etc.). Then mix the desired rate of Surflan AS in the amount of water required to cover the entire area to be treated. As the amount of water used (spray volume) decreases, the importance of accurate calibration and uniform application increases. Maintain continuous agitation from mixing through application. Avoid spray pattern skips and overlaps that may result in incomplete coverage or over-application.
