Features & Benefits

Product Information

IMITATOR + 2,4-D is a post-emergence herbicide for control or suppression of emerged weeds in fallow and reduced-tillage systems prior to planting or emergence of Wheat, Barley, Corn, Oats, Rye or Sorghum, (Grain or forage) and as a spot treatment in Corn, Sorghum, Forage grasses or Forage legumes.

Do not harvest or feed treated vegetation for 8 weeks after application. Following spot treatment in Forage grasses or Legumes, allow 30 days before harvesting or grazing domestic livestock.

This product enters the plant through the foliage and moves throughout the plant. Visual effects of control are a gradual wilting or yellowing of the plant which advances to complete browning of above-ground growth and deterioration of affected underground plant parts. Visible symptoms will usually develop within 2 to 4 days after application but may not occur for 7 or more days. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following treatment may slow activity of this product and delay the visual effects of control.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE):

Some of the materials that are chemical-resistant to this product are listed below. If you want more options, follow the instructions for category A on an EPA chemical-resistance category selection chart.

All mixers, loaders, applicators, flaggers and other handlers must wear: Long-sleeved shirt and long pants, shoes plus socks, protective eyewear (goggles, face shield or safety glasses), chemical-resistant gloves, chemical-resistant apron when mixing or loading, cleaning up spills or equipment or otherwise exposed to the concentrate.

See “ENGINEERING CONTROLS” for additional requirements. Chemical-resistant gloves are required when applying with any hand-held nozzle or equipment. A chemical-resistant apron plus chemical-resistant gloves are required when mixing, loading, cleaning up spills or equipment or when otherwise exposed to this product’s concentrate. For applicators applying this product from a tractor that has a completely enclosed cab, eye protection is not required.

Wash hands, face and arms with soap and water as soon as possible after mixing, loading or applying this product. Wash hands, face and arms with soap and water before eating, smoking or drinking. Wash hands and arms before using toilet. After work, remove all clothing and shower using soap and water.

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 closed systems, enclosed cabs or air-craft 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)]. IMPORTANT: When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all PPE specified above for applicators and other handlers and have such PPE immediately available for use in an emergency, such as spill or equipment breakdown.

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.
