dissipation rate, it is suggested that the soil be tilled for aeration after waiting period. Additional

information on application rates for Telone II is given in Table C.5.Telone C-175

Environmental Conditions

 The soil should be free of clods and all plant debris turned under to allow for

decomposition prior to application of the Telone C-17. Approximately 50% field capacity is

considered optimum for application. Soil temperature between 400 and 800 F are desirable at

the depth of application.


Methods of Application

 Telone C-17 can be applied whenever soil conditions are conducive. It is suggested that

application should be done in the late summer or fall, especially if planting early spring crops.

Do not apply this chemical in muck or heavy clay soils.

 Telone C-17 can be applied via broadcast (overall) or in row. Do not apply via an

irrigation system. For spring time application, it is recommended to use the in row application

method. This method requires injection of the chemical via one chisel per bed row,

approximately 10 to 12" below the surface. Immediately following the injection of Telone C-17,

it is suggested to seal the surface by ridging or bedding soil on top of the treated row area. This

results in an additional 2" of soil on top of the treated area to seal the surface.

 For broadcast treatment of Telone C-17, use space applicator chisels every 12 inches and

inject the chemical approximately 10 to 12" below the surface. Follow treatment with a roller,

cultipacker, or other device in order to seal the surface of the soil.
