Use Direction

Use DUCE® at a rate of 8-32 oz./acre or .375-.75 percent by volume as a replacement for non-ionic surfactants and crop oil concentrates. The high end of the recommended use rate may be necessary during periods when plants are subjected to extreme stress or weed populations. If volumes exceed 15 gallons per acre, then the percent by volume rates should be used.. The addition of a liquid fertilizer (28-32% nitrogen solution) may also be required to improve control under extreme environmental conditions. Always add DUCE last to the spray mixture and provide good agitation. Prior to use, read and follow all directions on this label and on the label of the pesticide being used. The pesticide manufacturer's label for specific usages and restrictions have precedence over Directions for Use referred to on this label.
