GRAPE VINEYARDS
Established at least 3 years to control Field Bindweed (Morning Glory), Canada Thistle and other 2,4-D susceptible broadleaf weeds.
APPLICATION TIMING ORCHARD STAR® (pt/acre) SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS Apply when weeds are in the bud to early bloom stage and growing vigorously. Apply after shatter following bloom and before grape shoots reach the ground or during dormant season. 1.8 to 2.7 Dilute in 10 to 100 gallons of water to treat one acre of ground to be sprayed. For band or spot treatment, calculate rates according to the actual portion of an acre treated. Use a hooded boom and low pressure flooding nozzles to deliver coarse droplets. PRECAUTIONS Grapes are extremely sensitive to 2,4-D. Use a direct application so no 2,4-D contacts grape leaves and young shoots or stems. RESTRICTIONS For use only in California, Oregon and Washington.
The pre-harvest interval (PHI) is 100 days.
Limited to 1 application per crop cycle.
Maximum of 2.7 pints of product/acre per application
Orchard Star® contains 0.5 pounds a.e. of 2,4-D per pint. When tank mixing with products that contain 2,4-D, do not exceed a combined total of 1.36 pounds of a.e. per crop cycle.
ORCHARD FLOOR
(Apples, Pears, Stone Fruit, Nut Orchards and Pistachios)
APPLICATION TIMING ORCHARD STAR® (pt/acre) ) SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS Postemergence
Annual and biennial weeds
Perennial weeds
1 to 2
Up to 4
For application to orchard floors, use coarse, low-pressure sprays and sufficient water for thorough coverage of weeds. Apply to annual weeds when small and actively growing. Apply to perennial weeds from bud to bloom stage. PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID TREE INJURY:
Do not apply immediately before irrigation and withhold irrigation for 2 days before and 3 days after application. To avoid leaching, do not spray bare ground or apply to dry soils. Do not allow spray drift to contact foliage, fruit, stems, trunks or trees or exposed roots. Because newly established trees or young orchards are more susceptible to 2,4-D injury, apply only to orchards that are at least one year old and well-established as indicated by vigorous plant growth. Do not apply during bloom.
RESTRICTIONS PREHARVEST INTERVALS:
• Apples and Pears: Do not harvest for 14 days after application
• Stone Fruit: Do not harvest for 40 days after application
• Nut Orchards and Pistachios: Do not harvest for 60 days after application.
Do not cut orchard floor forage for hay within 7 days after application. Do not make more than 2 applications per year Minimum spray interval between applications is 75 days. Do not apply more than 4 pt/acre of Orchard Star® per application

Safety & Health
- Precautionary Statements
Corrosive. Causes irreversible eye damage. Harmful if swallowed. Do not get in eyes or on clothing. Avoid contact with skin. Prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact may cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
- Personal Protective Eqiupment
Some materials that are chemical-resistant to this product are butyl rubber, natural rubber, neoprene or nitrile rubber.
All mixers, loaders, applicators, flaggers, and other handlers must wear:
1. Long-sleeved shirt and long pants.
2. Shoes and socks.
3. Chemical-resistant gloves when applying with any handheld nozzle or equipment, mixing or loading, cleaning up spills or equipment, or otherwise exposed to the concentrate.
4. Chemical-resistant apron when, mixing or loading, cleaning up spills or equipment, or otherwise exposed to the concentrate.
5. Wear protective eyewear (goggles or face shield).
Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this product’s concentrate. Do not reuse them. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. After each day of use, clothing or PPE must not be reused until it has been cleaned.
- User Safety Recommendations
Users should:
- Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.
- Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
- 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 pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. For terrestrial uses: Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Do not con- taminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate. Apply this product only as directed on label. 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. Fish breathe dissolved oxygen in the water and decaying weeds also use oxygen. For aquatic uses: When treating continuous, dense weed masses, it may be appropriate to treat only part of he infestation at a time. For example, apply the product in lanes separated by untreated strips that can be treated after vegetation in treated lanes has disintegrated. During the growing season, weeds decompose in a 2 to 3 week period following treatment. Begin treatment along the shore and proceed outwards in bands to allow fish to move into untreated areas. Waters having limited and less dense weed infestations may not require partial treatments.
Storage & Handling
- Storage and Disposal
Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal.
PESTICIDE STORAGE: Open dumping is prohibited. Do not store this product near fertilizers, seeds, insecticides, or fungicides. Reclose all partially used containers by thoroughly tightening screw cap. Absorb any spill with a suitable clay absorbent and dispose of as indicated under “Pesticide Disposal.” Protect from freezing. If stored below freezing, the product must be warmed to at least 70°F and agitated before using. This does not affect the efficiency of the product. For safety and prevention of unauthorized use, all pesticides should be stored in locked facilities. To prevent accidental misuse, different pesticides should be stored in separate areas with enough distance between to provide clear identification. Opened, partially used pesticides should be stored in original labeled containers when possible. When transfer to another container is necessary because of leakage or damage, carefully mark and identify contents of the new container.
PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Pesticide wastes are toxic. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a violation of federal law and may contaminate groundwater. 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.
