The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently announced the approval of a minor use label expansion registration for PROWL® H2O Herbicide for control or suppression of labelled weeds listed pome and stone fruits (new and established plantings) in Canada. PROWL® H2O Herbicide was already labeled for management of weeds on a wide range of crops in Canada. These minor use proposals were submitted by Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada, Pest Management Centre (AAFC-PMC) as a result of minor use priorities established by growers and extension personnel.
The following is provided as an abbreviated, general outline only. Users should be making weed management decisions within a robust integrated weed management program and should consult the complete label before using PROWL® H2O Herbicide.
Crop(s) | Target | Rate (L product/ha) | Application Information |
|---|---|---|---|
Apple; Apricot; Cherry, sweet; Cherry, tart; Crabapple; Nectarine; Peach; Pear; Plum; Plum, Chickasaw; Plum, Damson; Plum, Japanese; Plum, prune; Plumcot | Labelled Weeds | 3.7 | Apply PROWL H2O herbicide as a broadcast or banded treatment using ground equipment before weed germination. Apply the spray directly to the ground beneath the trees and/ or in areas between rows. Uniformly apply with properly calibrated ground equipment using a minimum of 200 L water per hectare. DO NOT apply over the top of trees with leaves or buds or fruit. Contact by the spray mixture with leaves, shoots, or buds may cause injury. |
