Animate is now labelled for use in apple and pear orchards for the 

 control of poison ivy. It can be applied any time during the growing 

 season but is most effective if applied during late June or July. 



It is used at the rate of 60 lbs. per 100 gallons of water. The 

 addition of a good spreader-sticker will increase considerably its 

 effectiveness . 



If the first application does not result in a complete kill, re- 

 treating may be done later in the season or the next year. Annua te is 

 effective, non-toxic to humans or animals, noninf lamable and very read- 

 ily soluable in water. On the other hand, it is non-selective and will 

 kill almost all plants if applied in sufficient quantity. It is very 

 corrosive on metals and should never be left in the "weed" sprayer longer 

 than necessary. After its use, the sprayer, should be very thoroughly 

 washed both inside and out. Some spray lime, baking soda or soap powder 

 added to the wash water will help to do a thorough job.
