Special Local Weeds Label for Gramoxone Max for Postharvest Plant Dessication of Strawberries

A special local needs label (24C) has been issued of the use of Gramoxone Max (Paraquat) herbicide for use as a postharvest desiccant in strawberries. Gramoxone Max is labeled as a broadcast spray at 1.3 pts per treated acre for the dessication on strawberry plants following harvest.

A nonionic surfactant or a crop oil concentrate must be added to the finished spray. Applications are to be made where harvest operations have finished for the season. More than 3 applications may not be made and more than 3.9 pints of Gramoxone Max herbicide may not be made per acre per season.
