bensulide (Prefar 4-E)
Celery only
Rate 5 to 6 lb ai/A (5 to 6 quarts/A)
Time Preplant-incorporate to the optimum depth of 1 inch; deeper than 2 inches reduces weed control.
Remarks For furrow irrigation, thoroughly saturate bed top. Sometimes the first flush of weeds must be controlled with cultivation before herbicide begins to control grass. Replant is 120 days for all crops not listed on the label.
Site of action Group 8: lipid synthesis inhibitor but not an ACCase inhibitor
Chemical family Organophosphorus
EPTC (Eptam 7E)
WA only, SLN-160002
Rate 3.1 lb ai/A 7E (3.5 pints/A)
Time Preplant (incorporated) or chemigated and postemergence (direct application at last cultivation or by chemigation)
Remarks Apply preplant to soil dry enough for thorough mixing and incorporate 2 to 3 inches deep with tillage or with irrigation. In semiarid areas of Eastern Washington, application must be made to a dry soil surface (at least 1/2 inch deep) free from dew and incidental moisture and incorporated within 36 hr following application.
