Royal MH-30 gets into the plant and working in half the time of regular MH-30. greatly reducing the danger of wash-off from unexpected afternoon showers. In trial after trial, Roval MH-30 has consistently proved to be 25-35% more effective, and even kills small suckers that Faster than MH-30 Sorbatran? a special surfactant ingredient, gets Roval MH-30 into the plant and acting in half the time of reaularMH-30.

Disposal rates of manure slurry ranged from 120 to 600 tons per acre yearly (or three years. The lowest rate supplied 700 pounds of nitrogen per acre per year. Two years after the ap plication were discoun tinued, the Penn State scientists sill found nitrate nitrogen in the soil water in excess of 10 milligrams per liter, the potable water standard. This was found at a depth of 4 feet where the lowest rate has been applied. The Penn Staters did find that more modest levels of manure slurry contributed relatively low amounts of nitrate to groundwater. Fifty to 80 tons of slurry per acre, supplying 300 to 500 pounds of nitrogen per acre, were injected under orchardgrass sod in November 1973 or in April 1974 to compare fall and spring applications. Nitrate nitrogen from the fall application had moved down 4 feet in soil water by June of 1974 but remained near the potable standard of 10 milligrams per liter after July. The nitrate nitrogen from spring applied manure **S 'l*-' ’»> -*.» '-»'• never exceeded 10 milligrams per liter during the growing season.
