Product Use Rate

RANGELAND & PASTURE

BROADCAST TREATMENT (GROUND EQUIPMENT AND HELICOPTER): Apply up to 4 quarts of Crossroad® per acre in sufficient water to deliver 10 to 30 gallons of total spray per acre. Actively growing weeds are most susceptible. Optimal application time for biennial and winter annual weeds is the rosette stage. Hard-to-control weeds such as field bindweed, chicory, dogfennel, goldenrod, horsenettle, kudzu, milkweed, perennial sowthistle, leafy spurge, and Canada thistle may require Retreatment for complete control.

SPOT TREATMENT:

To control broadleaf weeds in small areas with a hand sprayer, mix 4 to 6 fl. oz. of Crossroad® in 3 gallons of water. Spray to thoroughly wet all foliage.

RANGELAND & PASTURE RESTRICTIONS:

• Do not apply more than 4 quarts per acre per application.

• Do not make more than one application per year.

• Pre-Harvest Interval is 14 days

• If grass is to be cut for hay, Agricultural Use Requirements for the Worker Protection Standard are applicable.

• Do not apply more than 1 lb 2,4-D a.e. per application (2 qts product) for susceptible annual and biennial broadleaf weeds.

NON-CROPLAND

HIGH VOLUME FOLIAR APPLICATIONS THROUGH HANDGUNS:

Using a power or hand pressured spray-gun, apply a foliar wetting spray containing up to 4 quarts of this product in sufficient water to make 100 gallons of total spray mix. See mixing chart under "Mixing Directions" for preparing small amounts of this 1 to 1.5% spray mix. Spray to give thorough coverage of the foliage, wetting all leaves and green stems to the drip point. Depending on the plant size and foliage density, the total amount of required spray is usually 100 to 200 gallons per sprayed acre. For best results, applications should be made when woody plants are actively growing. This is most likely to occur for a period after full leaf in the spring to early summer when moisture and temperature are favorable. For multiflora rose control, the best time for treatment may be expected during the early to mid-flowering stage. The required spray volume will increase substantially if the brush exceeds 5 feet in height. Brush over 8 feet tall is difficult to treat efficiently. Large brush or trees may be controlled better by basal or mechanical methods.

FOLIAR BROADCAST SPRAYS (GROUND EQUIPMENT AND HELICOPTER):

Apply up to 4 quarts of Crossroad® in enough water to deliver 10 to 30 gallons total spray per acre. Use a boom type or other broadcast spray equipment that provides uniform spray coverage over the top of the foliage and make applications when plants are growing well. The favorable period for treatment is most likely to occur after full leaf in the spring and continue into early summer, depending on soil moisture and other conditions. Follow-up treatment with foliar high-volume or basal type treatments may be needed, especially if treating under less favorable conditions.

AERIAL APPLICATION (HELICOPTER ONLY):

Use a drift control additive as recommended by the manufacturer of the Microfoil boom, Thru-Valve boom, or equivalent drift control system. Thickened sprays prepared by using high viscosity invert systems or other drift reducing systems may be utilized if they control spray drift. If a spray thickening agent is used, follow all recommendations and precautions on the product label. Do not use a thickening agent with the Microfoil or Thru-Valve booms or other systems that cannot accommodate thick sprays.

DORMANT STEM APPLICATIONS:

To control susceptible woody species such as multiflora rose and blackberry, mix 4 to 16 quarts of Crossroad® in diesel oil, No. 1 or No. 2 fuel oil or kerosene to make 100 gallons of spray and apply to thoroughly wet upper and lower stems including the root collar and any ground sprouts. Treat at any time when the brush is dormant, and the bark is dry. Best results have been obtained with late winter to early spring applications. Do not treat when snow or water prevent spraying to the ground line. For the most susceptible woody species such as blackberries, substitute other diluents or oils only in accordance to manufacturer's recommendations. Apply mixture to thoroughly wet upper and lower stems as described above. The more tolerant species may require total oil carrier for better control. Brush over 8 feet in height is difficult to treat efficiently. Basal or mechanical methods may be better suited for control of large trees.

NON-CROPLAND RESTRICTIONS

• Postemergence (annual & perennial weeds):

- Do not make more than 1 application per year.

- Do not apply more than 4 quarts per acre per application. - Minimum spray interval between applications is 30 days.

• Postemergence (woody plants):

- Do not make more than 1 application per year.

- Do not apply more than 4 quarts per acre per application.
