basis). Therefore, it takes about 50 percent more Bromex to achieve the same weed 

 control and crop tolerance. Bromex and Maloran and their combinations, are best 

 suited to soils with an organic-matter content of less than 4 percent. 



Vemam plus Treflan is cleared for preplant incorporation in soybeans at the rate 

 of 1/3 gallon of Vernam plus 1 pint of Treflan. This combination provides better 

 soybean tolerance than Vernam alone. However, the combination may not control 

 velvetleaf, morningglory, or nutsedge as well as the full rate of Vernam alone. 



Amiben plus AAtrex is cleared for preemergence use in corn. The rate of Amiben 

 used in the combination will reduce the risk of com injury. This combination 

 works best on soils with an organic-matter content of 3 to 6 percent. 



Banvel plus Lasso is cleared for preemergence use on corn at the suggested rates 

 of 1 pint of Banvel plus 2 to 2-1/2 quarts of Lasso on soils with 2- to 5-percent 

 organic matter. The combination will control broadleaf weeds better than Lasso 

 alone, and is less likely to injure corn than preemergence Banvel alone. 



Lasso plus AAtrex plus Paraquat is cleared for zero- tillage com. The suggested 

 application rates are 2-1/2 quarts of Lasso, plus 1-1/4 to 2-1/2 pounds of AAtrex 

 SOW, plus 1 to 2 quarts of paraquat. 



AAtrex plus Princep plus Paraquat is not yet cleared for zero- tillage. If the 

 tank-mix is cleared, the addition of Princep is expected to improve control of 

 fall panicum and crabgrass. 



Dyanap plus Lasso and Solo plus Lasso still have clearances pending for tank-mix, 

 preemergence use on soybeans. The same is true on clearances for Bladex plus 

 Lasso, preemergence and for Bladex plus Sutan , preplant incorporated. 



NEW LABEL CHANGES 



Lasso and Lasso plus AAtrex a re now cleared for preemergence use on sweet corn. 

 However, postemergence use on sweet corn has not been cleared. The combination 

 is also cleared for early postemergence use on field corn, silage corn, and hy- 

 brid seed corn. The suggested application rates are the same as for preemergence 

 use, but should be used before weeds reach the two- leaf stage and corn, the five- 

 leaf stage. 



Bladex 80W is now cleared for postemergence application as well as preemergence 

 use. The suggested postemergence application rates are 1-1/2 to 2 pounds per 

 acre, before weeds are 1-1/2 inches tall and before com reaches the five- leaf 

 stage. Do not use wetting agents or oils, and do not apply Bladex 80W when the 

 corn is under stress or when injury to the corn may occur. 



Bladex 80W and 15G have new suggested rates that were changed to allow better 

 selection for organic matter and soil texture. Do not use Bladex 80W and 15G 

 loamy sands or sands, because significant injury could occur. 



Treflan is now cleared for use at double rates to control rhizome johnsongrass. 

 However, this practice reduces soybean tolerance and soybean injury may occur. 

 Two years of double-rate application are required for adequate control of rhizomes. 

 Before planting corn or small grains on an area that has received a double treat- 

 ment, grow soybeans for one year more and use no more than the normal application 

 rate for Treflan.
