AGRICULTURAL USEREOUlREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFRpart 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural work­ ers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, ~nd emergency assis­ tance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal pro­ tective equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry interval. The re­ quirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW ALL PRECAUTIONS ON THIS T,/"BEL MAY RESULT nr POOR WEEDCONTROL.- CROP INJURY. AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. ~ -- , .-,- Genera1 InfQrmation Evik 80W contr01s most annual broadleaf and grass weeds (see list under each crop). When applied before weed emergence, Evik 80W kills weeds as they germinate by entering roots. On exist­ ing weeds, it is effective through leaf contact. Following many years of continuous use of this product and chem­ ica11y related products, biotypes of some of the weeds listed on this label have been reported which cannot be effectively con­ trolled by this and related herbicides. Where this is known or suspected, we recommend the use of this product in combination with other registered herbicides which are not triazines. Con­ sult with your State Agricultural Extension Service for specific recommendations. Avoid using Evik 80W where adjacent desirable plants may be injured. Evik 80W is noncorrosive to equipment and metal surfaces, non­ flammable, and has low electrical conductivity. Application Procedures • • • • • •• •• Ground application : Use conventional ground sprayed"'~~uipl?ed with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application . •• ee. certain that nozzles are uniformly spaced and the sam~:pize~ •••• Calibrate sprayer before use and recalibrate at the At~t o~ •••• • each season and when changing carriers. ..:.... • •• Use a pump with capacity to: (1) maintain 35-40 psi at nozzl&s~ (2) provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in • .!lll!!! pension, and (3) to provide a minimum of 20% bypass at all" • • • -5- times. Use centrifugal pumps which provide propeller shear action for dispersing and mixing this product. The pump should provide a minimum of 10 gals./minute/IOO gal. tank size cir­ culated through a correctly positioned sparger tube OJ:; jets. Use screens to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging. Screens placed on the suction side of the pump should be 16-mesh Qr coarser. Do not place a screen ~iri-the recircula­ tion line. Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom, and where required, at the nozzles. Check nozzle manufac­ turer's recommendations. For band applications, calculate amount to be applied per acre as follows: band width in inches row width in inches x broadcast rate per acre = amount needed per acre of field Aerial appJication: Use aerial application only where specified in the use directions. Avoid appl:i.cations under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where exc.essive spray drift may occur. Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen' and loaders should avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged contact with skin. Mixing procedures- all uses: (1) Be sure sprayer is clean and not contaminated with any other materials, or crop injury or sprayer clogging may result. (2) Fill tank 1/4 full with clean water or nitrogen solution (may be used in corn). (3) Start agitation. (4) Be certain that the agitation system is working properly and creates a rippling or rolling action on the liquid surface. (5) Make a slurry by adding Evik 80W to a small amount of water in a separate container and pour slurry into tank: (6) Continue filling tank until 90% full. InC-rease agitation if necessary to maintain surface action. (7) Add tank mix herbi­ cide(s) after this product is thoroughly suspended. (8) Finish filling tank. Maintain agitation to avoid separation of mate­ rials. (9) Empty tank as completely as possible before refill­ ing to prevent buildup of emulsifiable concentrate residue from possible tank mix herbicides. (10) If an emulsifiable concen­ trate film starts to build up in tank, drain it and clean with strong detergent solution or solvent. (11) Clean sprayer tpor~ oughly immediately after use by flushing system with water ~nU taining a detergent. : •• :.: • • • • • •••••• Compatibility test: Nitrogen solutions may replace~1?:or part of the water in the spray in corn. Since nitrogen sol\l'tions"cac V~ry, even within the sam 7 analysis, check compatib\t~fJ each:' t~me before use. Commerc~al application equipment may improv~. compatibility in some instances. The following test assume~.~.· spray volume of 25 gals. IA.. For other spray volumes, make ?P ..... • •• •• • 1 .JIJ • • -6- propriate changes in the ingredients. Check compatibility using this procedure. 1) Add 1 pt. of fertilizer to each of 2 one-qt. jars with tight lids. 2) To.Qng of the jars, add 1/4 tsp. or 1.2 milliliters of a compatibility agent approved for this use (1/4 tsp. is equivalent to 2 p~s. per 100 gals. spray). Shake or stir gently to mix. Examples of compatibility agents include Compex® and Unite®. 3) To ~ jars, add 1.4 teaspoons of Evik 80W for each pound per acre to be applied. 4) After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each jar 10 times to mix. Let the.mixtures stand 15 minutes and then look for separation, large flakes, pre­ cipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility. Determine if the compatibility agent is needed in the spray mixture by comparing the 2 jars. If either mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If the mixtures are incompatible, try slurrying the Evik 80W in water before addition. If still -incompatible, do not use the nitrogen solution and Evik 80W in the .same spray tank.

First Aid; If swallowed, contact your local poison control center, hospital, or physician. If the patient_is uncon­ scious, maintain breathing and heartbeat (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). If the patient is conscious and alert, induce vomiting (syrup of ipecac or stimulate the back of the throat with a finger). Never give anything by mouth to an uncon­ scious person! If inhaled, move to clean air. If in eyes, flush with plenty of water. If on skin, wash with plenty of soap and water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.

Environmental Hazards Do not 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 equip­ ment wash waters or rinsate . This chemical is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as a result of registered uses. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particu­ larly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground water contamination.
