DISEASE & CHEMICAL DAMAGE
Problem: Sinbar

PROBLEM	RATE OF CHEMICAL APPLIED	SOIL TYPE	CROP TO BE PLANTED	RECLAIM APPLICATION	RESULTS
Mint field removed and plated to Timothy Hay	1 lb per acre	Sandy Loam	Timothy Hay	2 qt per acre after first cutting	Farmer wanted to apply RECLAIM at planting but chemical man said not needed as Sinbar was managed in a a way not to have any carryover. Timothy was excellent but had stunted growth - first cutting reduced yield 1 1/2 acre costing owner $32, 000. RECLAIM applied 2nd cutting was equal to Timothy yields on rest of farm
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 for 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	Onions	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
Sinbar	1 1/2 lb per acre	Sandy Loam	Potatoes	2 qt per acre early spring preplant 1 qt per acre at golf ball size	No detectable damage could be found. Yield: 37 ton per acre was 3 ton/acre better than control
Sinbar	1 lb per acre	Sandy Loam	Potatoes	2 qt per acre June 1st 1 qt per acre late July	Treated acres yielded 34+ ton per acre. Untreated yielded 29.79 ton per acre.
Sinbar Mint froze out due to bad winter conditions	1 1/2 lb per acre	Sandy Loam	Red Beans	2 qt per acre 1 qt pre-plant 1 qt sprayed when chemical burn detected on leaves-irrigate heavily	27 bags per acre clean seed on treated acres 24 bags per acre clean seed on untreated acres
Sinbar	1 lb per acre	Sandy Loam	Beans	2 qt per acre 30 days preplant	68 acres were treated. Where Sinbar had been applied, single application - Excellent performance on detoxification. Where double applications of Sinbar was made at the end of fields, beans were damaged. Yield 19 bags per acre. Additional 1 qt of RECLAIM should have been applied when chemical burn on leaves appeared. Field should have been irrigated heavier at time of 2nd RECLAIM application.
