Helena Agri-Enterprises Fire-Zone (HAE)

Helena Agri-Enterprises Fire-Zone (HAE) is a highly effective blend of methylated seed oils (MSO) and surfactants, designed exclusively for burn-down, desiccation and industrial weed control applications. It provides a faster weed killing response and works well in adverse weather conditions. It should not be used in over-the-top weed control applications in a growing crop.

General Information
  • FIRE-ZONE® is a specialized blend of methylated seed oils and surfactants designed for use with a broad range of herbicides where an MSO or Crop Oil Concentrate is recommended. It is particularly effective with herbicides that are applied under adverse environmental conditions. FIRE-ZONE® may also be used in desiccation and non-selective weed control applications. FIRE-ZONE® is not recommended for use in applications with herbicides in direct applications on growing crops
  • Subject to the cautionary statements set forth in the Directions for Use, FIRE-ZONE®may be used with other pesticides and/or fertilizer products. The addition of FIRE-ZONE® to a spray tank improves herbicide application by modifying the wetting and deposition characteristics of the spray solution resulting in a more even and uniform spray deposit. FIRE-ZONE® can positively affect herbicide spray application and herbicide efficacy. Optimum application and effects, however, can be influenced by the spray equipment, spray volume, pressure, droplet size, spray mixture, environmental factors, and other factors. Consequently, it is recommended that careful observation of the spray deposit be made and adjuvant concentrations be adjusted accordingly.

Applications & Uses

Directions for Use
  • NOT FOR AQUATIC USE FOR USE WITH PRODUCTS REGISTERED FOR: AGRICULTURAL, FORESTRY, INDUSTRIAL, MUNICIPAL, NON-CROPLAND, RIGHTS-OF-WAY, AND OTHER USES.
  • Prior to the addition of FIRE-ZONE® to spray tank mixes or prior to the use of FIRE-ZONE® with a herbicide or fertilizer where an oil concentrate adjuvant is not specifically recommended but not prohibited by the manufacturer, the user or application advisor must have experience with the combination or must have conducted a phytotoxicity trial.
  • FIRE-ZONE® may be applied by Ground, CDA, or Aerial equipment. In most applications, use enough FIRE-ZONE® to allow for uniform wetting and deposition of the spray onto plant surfaces without undue runoff. Typical use rates are 1.0% by volume (1 gallon per 100 gallons of spray) or 1 pint per acre.
  • NOTE: The above use recommendations are considered to be adequate for most uses. Some herbicides, however, may require higher or lower rates for optimum effect. Follow the pesticide label directions when this occurs.
  • NOTE: Do not mix with oxidizing agents unless oxidizing agents are in solution. For Basal Bark Applications: This product can be mixed with oil soluble or miscible herbicides and, when allowed by the herbicide label, be used as the sole diluent or carrier. Thinline, streamline, high and low volume basal bark applications can be made with this product and labeled herbicide mixtures. Suggested mixing rates when used as the sole carrier vary from 1% herbicide in 99% of this product to 75% herbicide in 25% of this product depending on herbicide and method of application. For specific dilution rates consult the herbicide label for the product being used. Typical applications direct these mixtures onto the lower 18 inches of individual brush and tree stems.
  • For directed or broadcast stem and foliage spraying: When allowed by the herbicide label, this product can be used as the sole carrier for herbicides or used with herbicide/water mixtures. For herbicide and water mixtures use up to 40% of this product by volume in these mixtures. Consult the herbicide label being used for proper mixing sequences. Maintain agitation at all times to prevent separation. When used as the sole carrier with oil soluble herbicides add the required amount of herbicide to this product in the spray tank. Consult the herbicide label of the product being used for use rate and volume per acre recommendations. If the compatibility of mix components is unknown, conduct a jar test before mixing large quantities. Use coarse sprays or special equipment designed to minimize spray drift.
  • NOTE: Observe precautions on labels of other products regarding potentially phytotoxic interactions with oils.
Mixing Guidelines
  • Prior to any pesticide application all spray mixing and application equipment must be cleaned. Carefully observe all cleaning directions on the pesticide label.
  • Fill spray tank one-half full with water and begin agitation. Add pesticides as directed by labeling or in the following sequence:
  1. Dry flowables or water dispersible granules
  2. Wettable powders
  3. Flowables
  4. Solutions
  5. Emulsifiable concentrates

and continue filling. Add FIRE-ZONE® last and continue agitation.
