Direction For Use

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. This product can only be used in accordance with the directions for use on this label or in separately published supplemental labeling. 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 pesticide 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.

Use Information

IMITATOR AQUATIC HERBICIDE is a water-soluble liquid, which mixes readily with water and non-ionic surfactants to be applied as a foliar spray for the control or destruction of many Herbaceous and Woody plants. This product is intended for control of Annual and Perennial weeds and Woody plants in forests, pine straw plantations, Non-crop sites such as Utility Rights-of-Way and in and around aquatic sites; also for use in wildlife habitat areas, for Perennial grass release and Grass growth suppression and grazed areas on these sites.

The active ingredient in this product moves through the plant from the point of foliage contact to and into the root system. Visible effects on most Annual weeds occur within 2 to 4 days but on most Perennial brush species may not occur for 7 days or more. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following treatment may slow the activity of this prod-uct and delay visual effects of control. Visible effects include gradual wilting and yellowing of the plant which advances to complete brown-ing of above ground growth and deterioration of underground plant parts.

Unless otherwise directed on this label, delay application until vege-tation has emerged and reached the stages described for control of such vegetation under the “WEEDS CONTROLLED” section of this label.

Unemerged plants arising from unattached underground rhizomes or root stocks of Perennials will not be affected by the spray and will continue to grow. For this reason, best control of most Perennial weeds is obtained when treatment is made at late growth stages approaching maturity.

Always use the higher rate of this product per acre with the labeled range when weed growth is heavy or dense, when treating dense multi-canopied sites or Woody vegetation or difficult-to-control Herba-ceous or Woody plants.

Do not treat weeds, brush or trees under poor growing conditions such as drought stress, disease or insect damage as reduced weed control may result. Reduced control or target vegetation may also occur if foliage is heavily covered with dust.

Reduced control may also result when applications are made to Woody plants or weeds following site disturbance or plant top growth removal from grazing, mowing, logging or mechanical brush control. For best results, delay treatment of such areas until resprouting and foliar growth has restored the target vegetation to the specified stage of growth for optimum herbicide exposure and control.

Rainfall or irrigation occurring within 6 hours after application may reduce effectiveness. Heavy rainfall or irrigation within 2 hours after application may wash the product off the foliage and a repeat treat-ment may be required.

This product does not provide residual weed control. For subsequent residual weed control, follow a label-approved herbicide program. Read and carefully observe the “PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS” section and all other information appearing on the labels of all products used.

Note: The maximum rates stated throughout this product’s labeling apply to this product combined with the use of all other herbicides containing Glyphosate or Sulfosate as the active ingredient, whether applied as mixtures or separately. Calculate the application rates and ensure that the total use of this and other Glyphosate or Sulfosate containing products does not exceed the maximum use rates.

Safety & Health

Precautionary Statements

Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals

CAUTION: Harmful if inhaled. Avoid breathing spray mist. Remove contaminated clothing and wash clothing before reuse. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)

Applicators and other handlers must wear: Long-sleeved shirt, long pants and shoes plus socks. 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.

Engineering Controls

When handlers use closed systems, 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.

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

Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment washwaters. Treatment of aquatic weeds can result in  steel, fiberglass, plastic and plastic-lined steel containers.

In case of spill or leak, soak up and remove to a landfill.

DO NOT MIX, STORE OR APPLY THIS PRODUCT OR SPRAY SOLUTIONS OF THIS PRODUCT IN GALVANIZED STEEL OR UNLINED STEEL (EXCEPT STAINLESS STEEL) CONTAINERS OR SPRAY TANKS. Glyphosate or spray solutions of this product react with such containers and tanks to produce hydrogen gas which may form a highly combustible gas mixture. This gas mixture could flash or explode causing serious personal injury if ignited by open flame, spark welder’s torch, lighted cigarette or other ignition source.
