Features & Benefits
- Product Information
Direx 4L is a liquid flowable to be mixed with water and applied as a spray for selective control of weeds in certain crops and for nonselective weed control on noncropland areas . It is noncorrosive to equipment, nonflammable, and nonvolatile .Apply Direx 4L to soil prior to emergence of weeds to control susceptible weed seedlings for an extended period of time . The degree of control and duration of effect will vary with the amount of chemical applied, soil texture, rainfall, and other conditions . Soils high in clay or organic matter require higher dosages than soils low in clay or organic matter for equivalent herbicide performance . Moisture is required to activate the herbicide . Best results occur if rainfall (or sprin-kler irrigation) occurs within 2 weeks of application .Direx 4L applied before emergence of crop and weeds is an effective procedure because susceptible weeds are controlled in an early, vulnerable seedling stage before they compete with the crop . With favorable moisture conditions, Direx 4L continues to control weeds for some time as the crop becomes better able to compete . Should weed seedlings begin to break through the preemergence treatment in significant numbers, secondary weed control procedures should be implemented; these include cultivation and postemergence herbicide appli-cation .Direx 4L may also be used to control emerged weeds . Results vary with rate applied and environmental conditions . Best results are obtained on succulent weeds growing under condi-tions of high humidity and temperature of 70°F or higher .Addition of a surfactant to the spray (where directed) increases contact effects of Direx 4L .Direx 4L may be used as a directed postemergence appli-cation . Contact of crop foliage and/or fruit with spray or mist must be avoided on the following crops: artichoke, corn (field), cotton, sorghum (grain), sugarcane, and established plantings of apples, bananas, plantains, blueberries, cane-berries, gooseberries, citrus, grapes, macadamia nuts, olives, papayas, peaches, pears, pecans, walnuts, and certain tree plantings as injury may occur .Under specified conditions (see CROP USES), Direx 4L without surfactant may be applied over the top of alfalfa (established, dormant, or semi dormant), asparagus (established), birdsfoot trefoil (established, dormant), grass seed crops (established), oats, red clover (established, dormant), sugarcane, wheat, and pineapple .Weed species vary in susceptibility to Direx 4L, and they may be more difficult to control when under stress . Combinations of Direx 4L with other herbicides (as registered) increase the number of weed species controlled . Consult labels of the companion product(s) for this and other information . Observe all precautions and limitations on labeling of all products used in mixtures .Since the effect of Direx 4L varies with soils, uniformity of application, and environmental conditions, it is suggested that growers limit their first use to small areas .

- Application Information
Requirements for reducing spray drift for Direx 4L ground and aerial applications:Use best practices to avoid drift to all other crops and non-target areas . Do not apply when conditions favor drift from target areas . The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The applicator must follow the most restrictive precautions to avoid drift, including those found in this labeling as well as applicable state and local regulations and ordinances . A drift control agent may reduce drift; however, it may also decrease weed control
- Make aerial or ground applications only when the wind speed is less than or equal to 10 miles per hour .
- Do not make aerial or ground applications into tempera-ture inversions .
- Apply with medium or coarser spray (according to ASABE standard S572 .1) for standard nozzles .
- Additional requirements for ground applications:When applying to crops, apply with nozzle height no more than 2 feet above the ground or crop canopy .
- Additional requirements for aerial applications:The spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing tip vortices . The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of rotor blade diameter . Use upwind swath displacement . When applying to crops, do not release spray at a height greater than 6 to 10 feet above the ground or crop canopy . Do not apply by air if sensitive nontarget crops are within 100 feet of the application site . Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the airstream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees
