User Safety Recommendations

Users Should:
• Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet.
• Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. If pesticide gets on skin, wash immediately with soap and water.

Direction Of Use

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. READ ENTIRE LABEL BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT. USE STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH LABEL PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS AND DIRECTIONS. This pesticide must be used strictly in accordance with the drift and run-off precautions on this label in order to minimize off-site exposure.

AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS

Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and 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. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 24 hours.
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard
and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is:
• coveralls worn over short-sleeved shirt and short pants
• chemical-resistant footwear plus socks
• chemical-resistant gloves (see PPE section above)
• chemical-resistant headgear for overhead exposure
• protective eyewear

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 people (or pets) to enter the treated area until sprays have dried.

USE RESTRICTIONS

Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Do not apply this product aerially. Do not use on golf course greens or tees. Do not use in or near greenhouses. Do not graze or hay treated areas. Do not pour spray solutions near desirable plants. Do not use on Carpetgrass, Centipede, St. Augustine, Dichondra, nor on lawns or turf where desirable clovers are present. Do not exceed specified dosages for any area; be particularly careful within the dripline of tree and other ornamental species. The maximum rate per application is 3.5 pints per acre, and the maximum seasonal rate is 7.25 pints per acre per year. Do not apply more than 2 broadcast applications to the same treatment site per year, excluding spot treatments. The minimum retreatment interval between broadcast applications is 30 days. This product may volatilize during conditions of low humidity and high temperatures. Do not apply during conditions of low humidity and high temperatures.

 

Use Precautions

Failure to observe all precautions may result in injury to turfgrass and/or susceptible plants. Avoid drift of spray mist to vegetables, flowers, ornamental plants, shrubs, trees and other desirable plants. Avoid fine mists. Use lawn type sprayer with coarse spray as wind drift is less likely. Avoid contact with exposed feeder roots of ornamentals and trees. Maximum control of weeds will be obtained from spring or early fall applications when weeds are actively growing. Use caution when applying to ensure no spray solution collects on the tires of application equipment. Also, assure that sprays completely dry prior to entering treated areas as accumulation on tires can lead to tracking. Avoid 5 broadcast applications when daily high air temperature exceeds 80 degrees. Limit applications to spot treatments or directed applications when air temperatures exceed 80 degrees. When using small, spot treatment applications in temperature over 80 degrees, turf injury may occur. Avoid applications during excessive dry or hot periods unless irrigation is used. Avoid applications during foggy or high moisture and wet turfgrass foliage. For optimum results, do not apply if rainfall is expected within 1 hour of the application. The suitable use of this product on non-recommended turf species may be determined by treating a small area at 1.5 pints per acre. The treated area should be observed for any sign of turf injury for a period of 7 days of normal growing conditions to determine the phytotoxicity and efficacy to the treated area. Adding adjuvants, oils, wetting agents, fertilizers, surfactants or other active ingredients to the spray solution may reduce selectivity to turf resulting in turf damage. Temporary turfgrass discoloration may results when any other products including other pesticides are added. High temperatures and high relative humidity increases the risk of turfgrass discoloration. Clean and rinse spray equipment using soap or detergent and water, and rinse thoroughly before reuse for other sprays. When making a tank mix for the first time, it is recommended to treat a small area and evaluate for phytotoxicity. 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. EPA, C01-0132C, (W.D. WA). For further information, please refer to http://www.epa.gov/espp/litstatus/wtc/

Compatibility

Because other active ingredients, surfactants, adjuvants, liquid fertilizers and liquid iron differ in pH, free ammonia content, density, salt concentration and percentage of water, a compatibility test (given below) is recommended prior to mixing in the application equipment. All regulations relating to the application of all products must be strictly followed. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. The following compatibility test should always be performed prior to full-scale mixing. 1. Pour 18 fluid ounces of water into a quart jar. 2. Add 1 fluid ounce of either the liquid fertilizer or liquid iron to be used. 3. Add 1 fluid ounce of this product. 13 4. Close jar and shake well. 5. Watch the mixture for several seconds after shaking and check again after 30 minutes. 6. If the mixture does not show signs of separating, the combination may be used. If the mixture foams excessively, gels, separates or gets very thick, do not combine for field application. 7. Compatibility may be improved by the use of a compatibility agent. Follow the previously outlined test procedures and add 1/6 ounce of the compatibility agent between steps (the compatibility agent must be added to the fertilizer or iron before adding the product). 8. If the mixture does not separate, gel, foam or get very thick, it may be used for field application. Mix only the amount to be sprayed.
