low volatility herbicide. In new plantings, it is applied in conjunction with activated charcoal, as soon as <br /> possible after planting. In established plantings, application occurs in the fall, after the first rains (typically <br /> between October 1 and November 15). It kills seedling grasses and weeds such as annual bluegrass (Poa <br /> annua), but not established perennial grass plants. It can be applied to new plantings at a rate of up to 3 <br /> pounds per acre, and to established grass seed crops at rates of up to 2 pounds per acre. It should not be <br /> applied to any areas where surface water is present. After application, workers or other visitors should be <br /> excluded from entering the treated areas for a period of 12 hours. <br /> Dual 8E (metolachlor) - This herbicide is used as a pre - emergent herbicide. It is a soil applied, non - <br /> translocated, low volatility herbicide. hi established plantings, application occurs in the fall, after the first <br /> rains (typically between October 1 and November 15). It kills seedlings of a variety of grasses and <br /> broadleaf weeds. It can be applied at rates of up to 1.5 pounds per acre. This herbicide should be applied <br /> only once per season. This herbicide should also not be applied to any areas where surface water is <br /> present. After application, workers or other visitors should be excluded from entering the treated areas for a <br /> period of 12 hours. <br /> Goal 2XL (oxyfluorfen) - This herbicide is used as a pre - emergent herbicide. It is a soil applied, non- <br /> translocated, low volatility herbicide. It kills seedling grasses and weeds such as annual bluegrass (Poa <br /> annua), but not established perennial grass plants. In established plantings, application occurs in the fall, <br /> after the first rains (typically between September 1 and December 15). It can be applied at rates of 8 to 24 <br /> ounces per acre. It should not be applied after mid - December, and should only be applied one time per <br /> year. Because it has a high potential for runoff into surface water, and is highly toxic to fish and other <br /> aquatic animals, it should not be applied to any areas where seasonal flooding is likely to occur. To avoid <br /> damage to nearby sensitive native vegetation, applications should not be made when wind speeds exceeds 5 <br /> miles per hour. After application, workers or other visitors should be excluded from entering the treated <br /> areas for a period of 24 hours. <br /> Nortron SC (ethofumesate) - This herbicide is used as a pre-emergent herbicide. It is a soil applied, non - <br /> translocated, low volatility herbicide. It can be applied to either new or established plantings of perennial <br /> ryegrass and other perennial grasses. In new plantings, it is applied in conjunction with activated charcoal, <br /> as soon as possible after planting. In established plantings, application occurs in the fall, after the first <br /> rains (typically between October 1 and November 15). It kills seedling grasses and weeds such as annual <br /> bluegrass (Poa annua) and other grasses and broadleaf weeds, but not established perennial grass plants. It <br /> can be applied at a rate of up to 3 pints per acre. <br /> Poast (sethoxydim) - This is a selective herbicide that affects most grasses, but not broadleaf plants. It is a <br /> foliage applied, translocated, low volatility herbicide. It is used on fine fescue at a rate of up to 2.5 pounds <br /> per acre in late fall and winter to control weedy grasses. It can also be used for spot treatment of volunteer <br /> grass plants. This herbicide should not be applied to any areas where surface water is present. <br /> Prowl 3.3 EC (Pendimethalin) This herbicide is used as a pre - emergent herbicide. It kills seedling grasses <br /> and weeds such as annual bluegrass (Poa annua), but not established perennial grass plants or established <br /> weeds. Application occurs in the fall, at the beginning of significant fall rains and prior to weed <br /> germination. It can be applied at rates of 4.8 to 7.2 pints per acre. Because it is highly toxic to fish and <br /> other aquatic animals, it should also not be applied to any areas where surface water is present or likely to <br /> be present. After application, workers or other visitors should be excluded from entering the treated areas <br /> for a period of 12 hours. <br /> City of Eugene Contract 2008-05335 <br /> Irwin Farm Lease Page 8 <br />
