Avoid moving untreated soil into the banded area. This treatment is effective against nightshade and many other weeds. To control nutsedge, incorporate pebulate deeply into the soil before applying metam sodium. It can also be used as a soil drench. Fine-textured clay soils or those with high organic matter require the higher rate.
Immediate incorporation is needed.
May also be applied through sprinklers with the germinating irrigation. Apply with sufficient water to wet the soil to a depth of 1-2 inches. The main use of pebulate is to control yellow nutsedge and hairy nightshade, although it will also control most annual grasses, broadleaves, and provide partial control of dodder. It provides short residual control, lasting 6-8 weeks. It is frequently applied in combination with napropamide for broad-spectrum control.
