Aerial Application,

Ground Soil Applied

Directions for Use

Dosages may be adjusted to compensate for environmental conditions or mechanical factors. Lower dosages may be used when spraying under calm winds, slow application speeds, low pressures, and lower boom heights with nozzles closer to the target. The greater the shear on the spray boom nozzle head, the greater the spray droplet fragmentation, which produces fines (mists) that may drift to non-targeted areas or evaporate. For best results in aerial application, use state-of-the-art techniques, such as pressure less than 45 psi and nozzles oriented 45 degrees back to straight back.

Mixing

Alligare Drift Control is very concentrated and performs effectively at ultra-low use rates even as low as 1-4 oz. per 100 gal. of water. Start with low dosage rates and increase as needed. A thickened or “stringy” solution indicates, that too much Alligare Drift Control has been used.

Step 1. Select proper dosage for the spraying operation.

Step 2. Fill mix tank with water, pesticide, fertilizer, surfactant/ additives and agitate.

Step 3. Shake bottle well before using.

Step 4. For best mixing results, either (1) inject Alligare Drift Control liquid into the suction side of the feeder or recirculating pump to obtain adequate dispersion of the polymer throughout the pesticide solution, or (2) slowly add Alligare Drift Control liquid to the agitating tank mix at the area of highest turbulence.

Step 5. Continue to agitate mix tank for at least 3 minutes before spraying.

Step 6. Follow all cleanup precautions on label of pesticide used. Follow governmental procedures for disposal of pesticide spray solution.

Spray Pressure	Nozzle Orientation	ALLIGARE DRIFT CONTROL DOSAGE
Aerial applied below 45 psi	Straight Back 45° Angle Back	2 - 6 oz. / 100 gals. 4 - 8 oz. / 100 gals.
Ground Application Low (below 30 psi)	Flat Fan, Flooding Off-Center	1 - 4 oz. / 100 gals. 3 - 5 oz. / 100 gals.
Medium (30 - 50 psi)	Flat Fan, Flooding Off-Center Spray Guns	3 - 4 oz. / 100 gals. 4 - 6 oz. / 100 gals. 5 - 8 oz. / 100 gals.
High (over 50 psi)	Spray Guns	8 - 32 oz. / 100 gals.

Higher spray pressure or greater agitation requires higher rates to maintain good drift control. If unacceptable drift is still occurring, add additional Alligare Drift Control in increments of 1 oz. per 100 gal. of spray solution.

Safety & Health

Warning

Causes skin irritation. Do Not Freeze. Product Will Cause A Slip Hazard. Keep out of reach of children. Read label before use. Keep container tightly closed. Keep only in original container. Avoid breathing dust, fume, gas, mist, vapors or spray. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.

First Aid

Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. Have the product container with you when calling a poison control center or doctor, or going for treatment.

If in Eyes: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present, after the _x001f_rst 5 minutes, then continue cautiously rinsing eye. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.

If on Skin or Clothing: Take off contaminated clothing and wash it before reuse. Wash with plenty of soap and water for several minutes. If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice or attention.

If Swallowed: Unless advised otherwise by a poison control center or doctor, have person rinse mouth with water, if able. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Do Not Induce Vomiting.

If Inhaled: If breathing is dif_x001f_cult, remove person to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, and then give arti_x001f_cial respiration, preferably mouth to mouth if possible.

Storage & Handling

Storage and Disposal

Storage: : Store in a cool well-ventilated place. Keep in original container tightly closed. Do not reuse empty container. Do not store with food, feed, or other material to be used or consumed by humans or animals. Do not contaminate water supplies. For optimal storage, store between 40°F and 90°F. Do Not Freeze.

Disposal: Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal. Dispose of contents in container to an approved waste disposal facility in accordance with all federal, state and local regulations. Triple rinse (or equivalent) adding rinse water to application tank. Offer container for recycling or dispose of in a sanitary landfill or by other procedures approved by local regulations. The Agricultural Container Recycling Council (ACRC) operates the national recycling program.
