SOIL TYPE
CROP TO BE PLANTED
RECLAIM APPLICATION
RESULTS
Prowl
Used to stay with same chemistry on 3 main crops in rotation: corn, potatoes and onions
Normal
Sandy Loam

39 oz per acre

First planting of onions came up and died - put RECLAIM on through water-replanted different variety of onions 3 days later - no damage to 2nd seeding
Sinbar
1 1/2 lb per acre
Sandy Loam
Onions 18 months after Sinbar was applied
2 qt per acre late October
Excellent response improved stand, reduced crusting, improved water retention. No yield data was provided but grower uses RECLAIM on ALL onion ground.

Sinbar
Ground that had been rented out fro mint. When ground was returned, yields were below those achieved with no Sinbar

1 1/2 lb per acre applied 24 months earlier
Sandy Loam
2 qt per acre very early spring
7+ ton per acre increased yield - better quality - more profit. Because of other unspecified benefits, grower now applies RECLAIM on all onion ground
Atrazine
applied to sweet corn
1 lb per acre
Sandy Loam
39 oz per acre through pivot
Onions planted began to show chemical damage - RECLAIM applied through water - in 5 days no detectable damage. 36 ton yield with exceptional quality.
