+apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or 
+to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not 
+contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. 
+GROUNDWATER CONTAMINA nON 
+Mostcases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy 
+herbic:idessuch as 2,4-0 have' been associated with mixinglloading 
+and disposal sites. Caution should be exercised when handling 2,4-0 
+pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of groundwater 
+supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing or transferring this 
+pesticide will reduce the probability of spills. Placement of the 
+mixingnoading equipment on as impervious pad to contain spills will 
+help prevent groundwater contamination. 
+CHEMIGATION PROHIBITION 
+Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
+

+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. Keep children and pets out of treated 
+area until sprays have dried. 
+STORAGE AND DISPOSAL 
+Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal. 
+Protect from freezing. If stored below 32'F and crystals form, warm to 
+72'F for 24 hours, periodically rolling drum to reconstitute. 
+Do not use, pour, spill, or store near heat or open flame. 
+PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: 
+Pesticide wastes are toxic. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, 
+spray mixture, or rinsate is a violation of Federal law and may 
+contaminate groundwater. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by 
+use according to label instructions, contact your State Pesticide or 
+Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste 
+representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance. 
+CONTAINER DISPOSAL: 
+Metal: Triple rinse (or equivalent). Then offer for recycling or 
+reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by 
+other procedures approved by state and local authorities. 
+.3/1 
+Plastic: Triple rinse (or equivalent). Then offer for recycling or 
+reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or 
+inCineration, or if allowed by state and local authorities, by buming. If 
+burned, stay out of smoke. 
+This product can reach groundwater as a result of mixing and 
+loading. To minimize groundwater contamination from spills during 
+mixing, loading, and cleaning of equipment take the following steps: 
+MIXING AND LOADING: 
+The mixing and loading of spray mixtures into the spray equipment 
+must be carried out on an impervious pad (i.e., concrete slab, plastic 
+sheeting) large enough to catch any spilled material. If spills occur, 
+contain the spill by using an absorbent material (e.g., sand, earth, or 
+synthetic absorbent). Dispose of the contaminated absorbent 
+material by placing in a plastic bag and following disposal instructions 
+on this label. 
+Triple rinse empty containers and add the rinsate to the mixing tank. 
+Cleaning of Equipment: When cleaning equipment, do not pour the 
+washwater on the ground; spray or drain over a large area away from 
+wells and other water sources. 
+OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS 
+Avoid application of spray or drift of spray to desirable plants, as this 
+product may injure cotton, tomatoes, beans, peas, most vegetables, 
+omamentals, grapes, or others. Even minute quantities of the spray 
+may cause severe injury. Accordingly application by airplanes should 
+be made only when there is no hazard from drift. All sprays are likely 
+to drift under certain conditions. The finer the spray, the greater the 
+likelihood of drift effect. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift. 
+Use only amount needed. DO NOT OVERDOSE. 
+Since vapors of the ester in this product may injure susceptible plants 
+in the vicinity, use only where there is no danger from such 
+vaporization. 
+Be sure that airplane spraying equipment has a quick-acting, 
+effective cutoff valve, and is used from the lowest possible altitude by 
+an aircraft operator experienced in the application of herbicides. 
+Do not use same equipment for other purposes. If necessary to use 
+sprayer for any other spraying, be sure to thoroughly clean all 
+equipment with a suitable chemical cleaner. (1 qt. household 
+ammonia in 20 to 25 gals. water - let stand overnight, then rinse 
+thoroughly with water). 
+Do not store or place near fertilizers, seeds, plant insecticides, or 
+fungicides. 
+Excessive amounts of 2,4-0 LV ESTER 6 in the soil may temporarily 
+inhibit seed germination or plant growth. 
+FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY 
+Always mix with water or oil (heater oil or diesel fuel oil 
+recommended) so as to apply the recommended amount of 2,4-0 LV 
+ESTER 6 per acre in the amount of material necessary to cover an 
+acre with the spraying equipment used.
+
+Apply 2,4-0 sprays at low pressures of approximately 30 to 50 
+pounds with nozzles adjusted to give a coarse, wetting, fan-shaped 
+spray. For airplane application, adjust nozzles to produce a coarse, 
+wetting spray of large droplets. 
+For best results, apply 2,4-D sprays when soil and climatic conditions 
+are conductive to rapid growth. This product may be applied when 
+temperatures range from 50°F to 95°F; results may be unsatisfactory 
+below 65°F and above 95°F. Sprays applied under adverse 
+conditions (abnormally cool or hot and dry weather or when weeds 
+are near maturity) should contain maximum recommended dosage. 
+Under such conditions, control results may not always be entirely 
+satisfactory. 
+Recommendations given are general. Because of varietal and local 
+conditions, consult Agricultural Experiment Station or Extension 
+Service weed specialists.

+TO CONTROL WEEDS IN RESISTANT CROPS 
+The following dosages are suggested on growing crops for the 
+control of susceptible weeds such as mustard, 'sunflower, 
+lambsquarters, pigweed, ragweed, docks, cocklebur, sow thistle, 
+marsh elder, and many other species. Perennial weeds are best 
+killed when in bud or in early bloom stage of growth. 
+WHEAT, OATS, BARLEY, and RYE - 2,4-D sprays applied during 
+seeding stage may reduce yields. When crop plants are tillering 
+(stooling), use 1/3 to 2/3 pints of 2,4-0 LV ESTER:6 per acre and a 
+maximum of 114 pint per acre when fully tillered(stooled). Sprays 
+containing 3/4 to 1 pint per acre may be applied as an emergency 
+weed control measure when seed in heads is past dough stage. 
+Sprays applied after early boot stage and up t6 the dough stage may 
+reduce yields. 00 not forage or graze treated grain fields within two 
+weeks after treatment with 2,4-D. Do not feed treated straw to 
+livestock. Fall Applications are not recommended. 
+For Spring Wheat and Durum, 2,4-0 LV ESTER 6 can be used when 
+the crop is in the three leaf stage but before the booting stage. 
+CORN and SORGHUM - 2,4-D sprays may cause injury to stalks 
+such as lodging, bending, and brittleness. The condition of brittleness 
+may last 5 to 7 days during which time stalks are subject to breakage 
+by high winds and cultivation. Avoid cultivating while this condition 
+prevails. Plants generally recover from lodging or bending. Crops are 
+most susceptible to injury during periods of rapid growth, but do ~/7 
+apply from tasseling to dough stage. SORGHUM may be seriously 
+injured - spray only when 4 to 12 inches tall. Pre-emergence sprays. 
+are not recommended. 
+Pre-emergence - On loam and finer textured soils, annual grasses, 
+and some tolerant broadleaf weeds such as purslane can be 
+controlled with Yo to 0 quarts of 2,4-0 LV ESTER 6 applied before 
+com emergence. Do not treat com planted in sandy soil. Heavy rains 
+after treatment may cause some injury to germinating seeds and 
+. result in some early crop stunting. To reduce this risk, plant corn one 
+inch deeper than normal (2-1/2 to 3 inches). For band spraying, (14 
+inch band with 40 inch com rows) use 113 dosage listed. 
+Post-emergence - Apply 0 pint of 2,4-D LV ESTER 6 per acre. Spray 
+as soones majority of weeds are actively growing, but do not apply 
+while com is tasseling to dough stage. Use extension nozzles to 
+direct sprays away from the leaves of corn and sorghum that are 8 
+inches or more high. 
+SOYBEANS (PREPLANT ONLY): For use in crop residue 
+management systems: Apply 11, to 0 pint not less than 7 days prior to 
+planting soybeans or 213 to 1-113 pints not less than 30 days prior to 
+planting. For best weed control, apply to postemergent weeds when 
+small, actively growing, and free of stress caused by extremes in 
+climatic conditions, diseases, or insect damage. The response of 
+individual weed species is variable. Consult your local county agent 
+or state Agricultural ExtenSion Service or crop consultant for advice. 
+Use the higher rate on larger weeds when perennials are present.

+ROUNDUP®, ROUNDUP® D·PAK, HONCHO®, GRAMOXONE® 
+EXTRA, PROWL®, PURSUIT® PLUS, SCEPTER® 70DG, 
+SQUADRON®, and others that are registered for preplant soybean 
+use. 
+Compatible crop oil concentrates, agricultural surfactants, and fluid 
+fertilizers approved for use on growing crops may increase the 
+herbicidal effectiveness of 2,4·D on certain weeds and may be added 
+to the spray tank. Read and follow all directions and precautions on 
+this label and on all labels of adjuvants or fertilizers mixed with this 
+product. 
+NOTE: Unacceptable injury to soybeans planted in treated fields 
+may occur. Whether or not soybean injury occurs and the extent of 
+the injury will depend on weather (temperature and rainfall) from 
+herbicide application until soybean emergence and agronomic 
+factors such as the amount of weed vegetation and previous crop 
+residue present. Injury is more likely under cool, rainy conditions and 
+where there is less weed vegetation and crop residue present. 
+Not registered for use in California. 
+USE RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS 
+Do not apply this product prior to planting soybeans if you are not 
+prepared to accept the results of soybeans injury, including possible 
+loss of stand and yield. 
+Do not use on low organic sandy soils (less than 1.0%). 
+Do not apply this product when weather conditions such as 
+temperature, air inversions, or wind favor drift from treated areas to 
+susceptible plants. 
+Do not mow or cultivate weeds prior to meeting with this product as 
+poor control may result. 
+Do not use any tillage operations between application and planting. 
+Do not feed treated hay, forage, or fodder. Restrict livestock from 
+grazing treated fields. Do not feed or graze treated cover crops to 
+livestock. 
+Only one application may be made prior to planting soybeans pefSI1 
+growing season. 
+Do not replant fields treated with this product in the same growing 
+season with crops other than those labeled for 2,4·D use. 
+ESTABLISHED PASTURES, FIELD, and RANGE GRASSES· For 
+control of most annual and many perennial broadleaf weeds use 213 
+to 1·1/3 pints per acre of 2,4-D LV ESTER 6, depending on the 
+susceptibility of weeds. Apply in sufficient water for uniform coverage 
+of weeds. Use the lower rate for easy to kill annual weeds and apply 
+while they are small. Repeat if new weeds appear. Either spring or 
+fall applications may be made. 
+For perennial weeds such as bindweed, Canada thistle, St. 
+Johnswort and garlic use 1·1/3 to 2·213 pints per acre of 2,4-0 LV 
+ESTER 6. In general, spray spring weed growth to bud stage and 
+again on fall regrowth. Repeat applications for two or more 
+successive years may be needed to control some weeds. 
+Keep dairy animals off treated areas for 7 days after treatment. Do 
+not slaughter for meat animals for 3 days after treatment. Do not 
+harvest grass cut for hay for 30 days after treatment. Do not spray 
+seedling grass, nor while grass is in boot to milk stage. Do not mow 
+grass within two days before or following treatment. tn some areas 
+bent, carpet, and buffalo grasses are susceptible to injury. Most 
+legumes will be killed or injured with these rates of treatment. 
+TO CONTROL WEEDS ON GOLF COURSES, CEMETERIES, 
+PARKS, AND OTHER LARGE TURF AREAS 
+Apply sprays containing 1·1/3 pints of 2,4-D LV ESTER 6 per acre 
+for most broadleaf weeds. Wet all the weed foliage thoroughly. 
+Deep rooted perennial weeds such as bindweed,Canada thistle, 
+hoary cress, and poison ivy may require 1·113 to 2·213 pints per acre, 
+and repeat applications may be necessary as new growth appears. 
+NOTES FOR ALL TURF StTES: (excluding sad farms) 
+The maximum number of broadcast applications per treatment site is 
+2 per year. 
+TO CONTROL WOODY PLANTS (FENCEROWS • PASTURES) 
+BRUSH· Sprays containing 1·113 to 2·213 pints of 2,4-0 LV ESTER 
+6 in 50 to 100 gallons of water per acre can be used on such plants 
+as poison ivy, sumac, poison oak, wild grape, sage brush, and tree 
+regrowth, when in full leaf. Cover vegetation completely. Such 
+plantsas sage brush that occur abundantly over large areas have 
+been successfully sprayed by airplane, using sprays containing 1·113 
+to 2·2/3 pints in 1 to 2 gallons of oil per acre. Repeat application if 
+new growth appears. Use Helena Brush Killer for general brush 
+control. 
+LARGE TREES· On unwanted wild cherry, buck brush, willow, 
+cottonwood, and certain others, use sprays containing 1·113 to 2·213 
+pints of 2,4-D LV ESTER 6 in 100 gallons of water and spray the leaf
