This kind of treatment has also been very effective on beds of young, non-producing vines which were (heavily populated with bunch grass and wide leaf grass. Spray applications during the summer have not been too effective for weed control and have resulted in excessive injury to vine foliage as well as fruit buds and flowers. Swaib applications have been suc- cessfully used 'by a numiber of Wisconsin growers and with less success by other growers. Those that have been happy with their results ihave limited the concentra- tion of material to approximately 21t)s. in 5 gallons of water and then walked at such a speed as to apply approximately 2 gallons per acre. Usually two swabbing per year are sufficient to suppress grassy weeds for the season. The first swabbing is done June 10 and the second shortly after blos- soming. Considerable care must be exercised when using the swab to prevent dripping of the solution directly on the vines and to mini- mize doubling or overlapping of the swab swath. Growers who have used concentrations in excess of 2 lbs. in 5 gallons or who have been careless with their application technique have often found that fruit production was reduced in the following year. Swabbing with the concentra- tions recommended on the label of the material will not kill many weeds. This method suppresses the grasses and miay be used as a supplement to or replacement for mechanical clippers. A grower who has not had experience with this material is urged to act with cau- tion by working out techniques on to larger areas only when he has gained an understanding of the a small acreage and proceedings limitations of the material. You can damage your crop by the improper use of dalapon. Prop- erly used, however, dalapon will cause but a minimum amount of vine injury and may be of consider- able help in controlling certain grasses and sedges in cranberry beds.
