- Use Information
This product is a herbicide intended for the control of many Broadleaf weeds, herbaceous Perennials and woody plants susceptible to 2,4-D in various crops including cereal grains (Barley, Millet, Oats, Rye, Wheat), Corn (Field, Pop, Sweet), fallow land and crop stubble, Pota-toes, Sorghum and Soybeans (pre-plant and burndown applications only), forests, rangeland and established pastures including Conserva-tion Reserve Program (CRP) acres, non-cropland, grasses grown for seed or Sod and Ornamental turf. Apply this product as water or oil-water spray during warm weather when weeds, brush or woody plants are actively growing. Application under drought conditions often will give poor results. Use low spray pressure to minimize drift. Generally, the lower dosage specified on this label will be satisfactory for young, succulent growth of sensitive weed species. For less sensitive species and under conditions where control is more difficult, the higher dosage will be needed. Deep-rooted Perennial weeds such as Canada thistle and Field bindweed and many woody plants usually require repeated applications for maximum control. Note: If there are uncertainties concerning special local use situations or specific crop variety tolerances to 2,4-D, consult your State Agricultural Experiment Station or Local Extension Service weed specialist for advice.
- Direction For Use
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner incon-sistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pes-ticide regulation.
- Agricultural Use Requirements
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard (WPS), 40 CFR Part 170. This standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, greenhouses and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Restricted Entry Interval (REI). The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the WPS.
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the REI of 4 hours.
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the WPS and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil or water is: Coveralls, chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material, and shoes plus socks.
- Non-Agricultural Use Requirements
The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard for Agricultural Pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries, or greenhouses.
Do not enter or allow others to enter until sprays have dried.
- Mixing Instructions
- Fill the spray tank about one-half full with water, then add the required amount of this product with agitation and finally, the rest of the water. Note: This product in water forms an emulsion which tends to separate unless agitation is maintained.
- If oil is added, first mix this product and the oil and then add this mixture to the water. However, with adequate agitation, the oil can be added after this product is mixed in the water.
- If straight oil is used, a solution is formed and separation does not occur. Do not allow any water to get into the oil-herbicide mixture to avoid formation of an invert emulsion.
Note: Adding oil, wetting agent, or other surfactant to the spray mixture may increase effectiveness on weeds, but also may reduce selectivity in crops resulting in crop damage.
Tank-Mixes: Read carefully and follow all applicable use directions, precautions and limitations on the respective product labels. Do not exceed specified application rates. Do not tank-mix with another pes-ticide product that contains the same active ingredient as this product unless the label of either tank-mix partner specifies the maximum dosages that may be used.
Compatibility Testing: A jar test is recommended prior to tank-mixing to ensure compatibility of this product and other pesticides. Use a clear glass quart jar with lid and mix the tank-mix ingredients in their relative proportions. Invert the jar containing the mixture several times and observe the mixture for approximately one-half hour. If the mixture balls up, forms flakes, sludges, gels, oily films or layers, or other pre-cipitates, it is not compatible and the tank-mix combination should not be used.
Oil Spray: Use only as directed on the label distributed for this prod-uct. Fill clean spray tank about one-half to two-thirds full with diesel oil, fuel oil, stove oil, or other suitable oil. Add required amount of prod-uct with agitation turned on. Continue agitation while adding balance of oil. The resulting mixture is a solution and will generally remain uni-form without agitation once mixed. However, agitation is suggested if available. Do not allow any water to get into the spray mixture to avoid formation of an invert emulsion (mayonnaise consistency).
Water Spray with Oil: Use only as directed on the label distributed for this product. Where a combination of water and oil diluent is spec-ified, use emulsifiable crop oil or crop oil concentrate with mild agita-tion. Mix in the sequence of water, product and oil. If diesel or other non-emulsified oils listed above under “Oil Spray” are desired for use with water, add no more than 1 quart of such oil per 1 gallon of water and agitate vigorously until tank is emptied. If possible, pre-mix non-emulsified oil with this product and add this pre-mix to a mostly filled spray tank with agitation on. Follow these procedures carefully to avoid formation of an invert emulsion (mayonnaise consistency).
Mixing with Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizer: This product may be combined with liquid nitrogen fertilizer suitable for foliar application to accomplish Broadleaf weed control and fertilization of Corn, small grains or pastures in a single operation. Use this product in accordance with directions for these crops provided in this label. Use liquid fertilizer at rates specified by the supplier or Extension Service Specialist. Test for mixing compat-ibility by mixing spray ingredients in correct proportions in a clear glass jar before mixing in spray tank. A compatibility aid may be needed in some situations. Compatibility is best with liquid fertilizer solutions con-taining only nitrogen. Mixing with N-P-K solutions may not be satisfactory, even with the addition of a compatibility aid. Pre-mixing this product with 1 to 4 parts water may help in situations when mixing difficulty occurs. Adjuvants for Pre-emergence and Pre-plant Applications: A non-ionic surfactant or a crop oil concentrate may be added to the spray solution when this product is applied pre-emergence or pre-plant to increase control of large or hard-to-control weeds. Crop oil concentrate must contain at least 17% emulsifier and be used at 0.25% v/v (2 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution).
