Chloro-IPC can be used in the fall after the plants are dormant to control 

 late fall and winter weeds and some grasses. 



Raspberries 



Since raspberries are quite tolerant of 2,A-D, it can be used to control 

 broad-leaved weeds. To avoid injury to the raspberries delay spraying till the 

 new shoots are tall enough so the tender tips will not be sprayed. Do not spray 

 when the raspberries are in bloom, 



Chloro-IPC can be used in late fall to control winter annual grasses and 

 broad-leaved weeds, especially chickweed, 



A dinitro (or DN) can be used as a directed spray but must be kept off the 

 young shoots to avoid damage. 



Grapes 



Chloro-IPC can be used effectively in the early spring when the grapes are 

 still dormant. 



Likewise diuron applied pre-emergence in early spring is quite effective. 

 It should not be used around vines less than 3 years old, 



WARNING: Grapes are extremely sensitive to phenoxy compounds such as 2,4-D, 

 2,4,5-T, silvex, MCPA, and others. Do not use these on or near grapes nor use 

 spray equipment which has held these materials for spraying grapes. 



Apples and Pears 



Dalapon is effective for grass control, particularly for perennials such as 

 quack grass, Diuron can be used with it for control of other weeds, 



Non-Bearing Apple, Peach, Pear, and Sour Cherry Trees 



Simazine (4% granular) has been recently accepted for weed control in 

 non-bearing orchards of the above fruits. It is a very good weed killer but care 

 is necessary not to use too much. 



Poison Ivy in Orchards 



Unfortunately the situation here is still very unsatisfactory, Amino 

 Triazole which is very effective has clearance for use only in early spring before 

 bloom or in fall after the crop is off. At neither time is it very effective, 

 Ammate still has no clearance. 2,4,5-T is effective against the poison ivy but 

 its use has resulted in severe damage to trees at times. 2,4-D has given variable 

 results. However, around an orchard where no fruit trees are involved any of 

 these materials can be used. 



Whatever is used, read the label and follow directions.
