0.405 L per acre
(One 8.1 L container treats 20 acres, 129.6 L drum will treat 320 acres)
Add ammonium sulphate on spring wheat only for improved weed control or when tank mixing with 2,4-D or MCPA. Add
200 g active ammonium sulphate (202 g per acre of 99% dry; 0.5 L per acre of 40% liquid or 0.4 L per acre of 49% liquid).
If using an ammonium sulphate product with a different concentration, adjust the rate accordingly.
DO NOT add ammonium sulphate to applications on durum wheat.
DO NOT apply Velocity m 3 or other products containing thiencarbazone, pyrasulfotole or bromoxynil more than once in the
same year.
Weed Control
Application Information:
• Water Volume:
º Ground: 20 to 40 L per acre. Use higher water volumes for dense canopies.
º Aerial: Minimum 11.4 L per acre.
• Nozzles and Pressure:
º Ground: For conventional flat fan nozzles use a pressure of 30 to 50 PSI (207 to 345 kPa). Angle nozzles forward
45 degrees for better coverage. Low drift nozzles may require higher pressures for proper performance.
º Aerial: Minimum 43 PSI (300 kPa).
For either ground or aerial, use a combination of nozzles and pressure designed to deliver thorough, even coverage
with ASABE medium droplets.
How it Works:
Refer to Table 9 on page 48.
Effects of Growing Conditions:
DO NOT apply to crops or weeds that are stressed (frost, low fertility, drought or flooding, disease or insect damage) as crop
injury or reduced weed control may result.
DO NOT apply to spring or durum wheat under conditions where the time from seeding to spraying exceeds 35 days or if
temperatures will be 3°C or lower within 3 days of application (before or after).
