- Use Information
DE-AMINE 4 is a herbicide that contains 2,4-D dimethylamine salt active ingredient. It is intended for selective control of many Broadleaf weeds in the various sites listed on this label.
Apply this product as a water or oil-water spray during warm weather when target weeds or woody plants are actively growing. Application under drought conditions will often give poor results. Use low spray pressure to minimize drift. Generally, the lower dosages specified on this label will be satisfactory for young, succulent growth of susceptible weed species. For less susceptible species and under conditions where control is more difficult, use the higher specified rates. Deep-rooted Perennials such as Canada thistle and Field bindweed and many woody plants usually require repeated applications for satisfac-tory control. Consult your State Agricultural Experiment stations or Extension Service Weed Specialist for recommendations from this label that best fit local conditions.
- Use Precautions
- Excessive amounts of 2,4-D in the soil may inhibit seed germination and plant growth temporarily.
- Use Restrictions
- DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
- Use of this product in certain portions of California, Oregon and Washington is subject to the January 22, 2004 Order for injunctive relief in Washington Toxics Coalition et. al. v.

Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals
DANGER: Corrosive. Causes irreversible eye damage. Harmful if swallowed. Do not get in eyes or on clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or spray mist.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Some materials that are chemical-resistant to this product are made of any waterproof material. If you want more options, follow the instructions for Category A on an EPA chemical-resistance cate-gory selection chart.
All mixers, loaders, flaggers, other applicators and handlers must wear: Long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes plus socks, chemical-resistant gloves, protective eyewear (goggles, safety glasses or face shield) and chemical-resistant apron when mixing or loading, cleaning up spills or equipment or otherwise exposed to the concentrate.
See Engineering Controls for additional requirements.
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.
- Engineering Controls
When handlers use enclosed cabs or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
Pilots must use an enclosed cockpit that meets the requirements listed in the WPS for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(6)].
- User Safety Recommendations
Users should:
1) Wash hands thoroughly 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 pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. For terrestrial uses, do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and run-off may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas and non-target plants. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.
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 shal-low, may result in groundwater contamination. Application around a cistern or well may result in contamination of drinking water or ground-water.
Aquatic Weed Control: Fish breathe dissolved oxygen in the water and decaying weeds also use oxygen. When treating continuous, dense weed masses, it may be appropriate to treat only part of the infestation at a time. For example, apply the product in lanes sepa-rated by untreated strips that can be treated after vegetation in treated lanes has disintegrated. During the growing season, weeds decom-pose in a 2 to 3 week period following treatment. Begin treatment along the shore and proceed outward in bands to allow fish to move into untreated areas. Waters having limited and less dense weed infes-tations may not require partial treatments.
Do not contaminate water used for irrigation or domestic purposes (except as directed on this label) especially in areas where Cotton, Grapes, Tomatoes or other susceptible plants are grown.
Do not treat irrigation ditches in areas where water will be used to over-head (sprinkler) irrigate susceptible crops especially Cotton, Grapes, Tobacco and Tomatoes.
Do not apply this product directly to, or permit to drift onto Cotton, Flowers, Fruit trees, Grapes, Okra, Tomatoes, Vegetables or other desirable plants which are susceptible to 2,4-D. Do not apply near sus-ceptible plants since very small quantities of 2,4-D will cause severe injury during the growing or dormant periods. Crops contacted by sprays or spray drift of this product may be killed or suffer significant stand loss with extensive quality and yield reduction.
Mixing and Loading: Most cases of groundwater contamination involv-ing phenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-D have been associated with mixing/loading and disposal sites. Exercise precautions when handling 2,4-D pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of groundwater supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing and transferring this pesti-cide will reduce the probability of spills. Placement of the mixing/loading equipment on an impervious pad to contain spills will help prevent groundwater contamination.
