PRODUCT RATE APPLICATION TIMING AND SPECIFIC COMMENTS
CROP WEEDS
Butyrac® 200 1–3 quarts/A Apply postemergence to seedling forage legumes and seedling or established alfalfa. Forage legumes should be healthy and actively growing for greatest selectivity. In established alfalfa, twisting of stems and malformation of leaves may occur. Under most conditions this response is usually outgrown. A non-ionic surfactant at 0.25% V/V may be included in seedling alfalfa grown in dry, low humidity areas only. Non-ionic surfactant may cause some twisting of stems and malformation of leaves. This response is usually outgrown under most conditions For control of emerged lambs-quarters, pigweed, field pennycress, wild mustard, common ragweed, cocklebur, yellow rocket, Russian thistle and annual morningglory species less than 1 inch high, apply Butyrac® 200 at 1 to 2 quarts/A. For control of these weeds up to 3 inches tall, apply Butyrac® 200 at 2 - 3 quarts/A. Use the higher rates in dry, low humidity growing areas. For control or suppression of smartweed and curled dock up to 3 inches tall, apply Butyrac® 200 at 3 quarts/A. In seedling alfalfa only, the addition of a non-ionic surfactant at 0.25% V/V may improve broadleaf weed control under dry, low humidity conditions. Butyrac® 200 may not adequately control overwintered broadleaf weeds including field pennycress and mustards.

FORAGE LEGUMES (SEEDLING AND ESTABLISHED ALFALFA ONLY) Butyrac® 200 Broadleaf Herbicide Tank Mixture Directions

PRODUCT RATE APPLICATION TIMING AND SPECIFIC COMMENTS
CROP WEEDS
Butyrac® 200 + Poast® + Crop Oil Concentrate 1–3 quarts/A + 1–2.5 pints/A + 2 pints/A Apply this tank mix postemergence to seedling and established alfalfa only. Alfalfa should be healthy and actively growing for greatest crop tolerance. Established alfalfa is less tolerant to Butyrac® 200 than in the seedling stage of growth. Some yellowing and burning of alfalfa foliage, stem and leaf malformation may occur with this tank mixture. Alfalfa will generally outgrow this response. Balance the severity of your grass and broadleaf weed problem with the potential for crop injury. Do not add non-ionic surfactant, Dash®, UAN solution or ammonium sulfate to this tank mixture. For control of emerged susceptible broadleaf and grass weeds that are actively growing, refer to the Butyrac® 200 forage legume recommendations above and the Poast® label for weeds controlled and application timing for full use recommendations.
Butyrac® 200 + Buctril® 1 quart/A + 1 pint/A Apply in the fall or spring to seedling alfalfa when the majority of the field has a minimum of 4 trifoliate leaves. This tank mixture may result in unacceptable crop leaf burn, especially under warm, humid weather conditions. See Buctril® label for additional precautions and restrictions. Do not use this tank mix on established alfalfa. This tank mix provides improved control of pigweed, kochia and tansy mustard compared to Butyrac® 200 or Buctril® alone. Apply when weeds do not exceed the 4-leaf stage, 2 inches in height or 1 inch in diameter, whichever comes first. Butyrac® 200 + Buctril® tank mixtures will not adequately control overwintered pennycress, henbit and mustards
RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS FOR USE ON FORAGE LEGUMES

Safety & Health

Precautionary Statements

DANGER. Corrosive. Causes irreversible eye damage. Harmful if swallowed. Do not get in eyes or on clothing. Avoid contact with skin.

Personal Protective Eqiupment

Some materials that are chemical-resistant to this product are butyl rubber, natural rubber, neoprene or nitrile. If you want more options, follow the instructions for Category A on an EPA chemical-resistance category selection chart.

Applicators and other handlers must wear:

  • Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
  • Chemical-resistant gloves
  • Shoes plus socks
  • Protective eyewear
  • Chemical-resistant apron when mixing/loading, cleaning up spills, cleaning equipment, or otherwise exposed to concentrate
User Safety Recommendations

Users should:

1. Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.

2. Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.

3. Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.

Environmental Hazards

This chemical is toxic to fish. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate. Drift and runoff from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring issues. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. Do not contaminate water intended for irrigation or domestic purposes. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from target area. Ground Water Contamination: Most cases of ground water contamination involving phenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-DB have been associated with mixing/loading and disposal sites. Caution should be exercised when handling 2,4-DB pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of ground water supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing or transferring this pesticide will reduce the probability of spills. Placement of the mixing/loading equipment on an impervious pad to contain spills will help prevent ground water contamination. This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination. Application around a cistern or well may result in contamination of drinking water or groundwater. Do not apply BUTYRAC® 200 Broadleaf Herbicide directly to or otherwise permit it to come in contact with cotton, okra, grapes, tomatoes, fruit trees, vegetables, flowers, or other desirable crop or ornamental plants. Do not permit spray mist to drift onto susceptible plants since very small quantities of BUTYRAC® 200 Broadleaf Herbicide can cause severe injury during the growing or dormant periods.

Storage and Disposal

Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal.

PESTICIDE STORAGE: Store in original container in a dry secured storage area. Keep container tightly closed when not in use.

PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Pesticide wastes are acutely hazardous. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a violation of Federal law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance.
