  1. This table shows applications rates for products applied alone. Rates may vary if tank-mixed with other products. If weed infestations are heavy, or if used in conservation tillage situations. See specific product label for additional information on application rates and use.
  2. Average soil type in Pennsylvania.
  3. On highly erodible ground with less than 30% residue, apply no more than 1.6 qt/A or 1.8 lb/A of 90 DF (i.e., 1.6 lb a.i.).
  4. On soils with less 3% organic matter, tank-mix Hornet WDG at 3.0 oz/A with a recommended label rate of an atrazine/grass herbicide premix.
  5. Lower rates may be used in combination with a recommended label rate of an atrazine/grass herbicide premix.
