Gramoxone® Max GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. When Gramoxone Max is applied at less than 10 gallons per acre finished spray volume, a drift control or spray deposition additive SHOULD be used. Refer to the additive label for use directions. Spray Drift Information Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off.target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry appli­ cations, public health uses or to applications using dry formulations. 1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 314 the length of the wingspan or rotor. 2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45°. Where states have more stringent regulations, they shall be observed. The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information. Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information (This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements.) Information on Droplet Size The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity. and Temperature Inversions). Controlling Droplet Size • Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift. Boom Length For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width. Application Height Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making application at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. Swath Adjustment When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.). Wind Drift potential is lowest between wlnd speeds of 2-10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift. Temperature and Humidity When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. Gramoxone® Max Temperature Inversions Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds (ommon during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing tempera­ tures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, it fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Sensitive Areas The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., res­ idential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas). GENERAL INFORMA110N Gramoxone Max is a contact herbicide used to control or suppress a broad spectrum of emerged weeds. Gramoxone Max controls most small annual weeds - both broadleaves and grasses, and suppresses perennial weeds by destroying green foliage. Gramoxone Max can also be used as a desiccant/defoliant at harvest. Gramoxone Max is formulated as a liquid which contains 3 Ibs. of active ingredient per gallon. The formulation contains a nontoxic odor and an emetic (an agent which will induce vomiting if the prod­ uct is swallowed). The odor is included in the formulation to help prevent accidental ingestion of Gramoxone Max. Gramoxone Max is rap'ldly absorbed by green plant tissue and interacts with the photosynthetic process to produce superoxides which destroy the plant cells. Gramoxone Max requires actively grow­ ing green plant tissue to function. Thorough coverage of all green foliage is essential for effective weed control and for effective crop desiccation/defoliation. Gramoxone Max is not as effective on drought-stressed weeds, weeds with little green foliage (Le., mowed or cut weeds), or mature woody bark of trees and vines. Clay and organic matter rapidly tie up Gramoxone Max. As a· result, Gramoxone Max has no residual soil activity to affect later-planted crops or later germinating weeds. ROTATIONAL CROPS All rotational crops may be planted immediately after the last appJjcation of Gramoxone Max. RAINFASTNESS Because Gramoxone Max is rapidly absorbed by the weed foliage, rain occurring 30 minutes or more after application will have no effect on the activity of Gramoxone Max. APPLICATION Since Gramoxone Max is a contact-type herbicide, it is essential to obtain complete coverage of target weeds to get good control. Improper application technique andior application to large, stressed, or mown weeds will usually result in unacceptable weed control and unacceptable crop desiccationl defoliation. Complete coverage is also essential for good crop desiccation/defoliation. See details below for specific application instructions. USE OF A NON IONIC SURFACTANT OR CROP OIL CONCENTRATE Always add one of the following (Failure to use one of the following at recommended rates will result in reduced performance of Gramoxone Max.) Nonionic Surfactant: Add non ionic surfactant containing 75% or more surface-active agent at 0.125% vlv (1 pt.l1 00 gals.), OR add a non ionic surfactant containing 50~74% surface-active agent at 0.25% v/v (2 pts.ll00 gals.), of the finished spray volume for ground applications. For aerial applications, add a nonionic surfactant at 0.25% v/v (2 pts./l00 gals.) of the finished spray volume. Crop Oil Concentrate: Add a nonphytotoxic crop oil concentrate containing 15-20% approved emul­ sifier, at 1.0% v/v (1 gaL/lOa gals.) of the finished spray volume for ground applications. For aerial applications, add 1 pt. of crop oil concentrate per acre. Do not use crop oil concentrate when using Gramoxone Max for cotton harvest aid. NOZZLE SELECTION The use of flat-fan nozzles will result in the most effective application of Gramoxone Max. Flood nozzles are generally not as good as flat fans since they produce large uneven droplets. The use of flood nozzles may result in reduced weed control due to inadequate coverage. Gramoxone® Max WHEN SPRAYING LESS THAN 20 GALLONS OF SPRAY CARRIER PER ACRE, USE ONLY FLAT FAN NOZZLES AS RECOMMENDED IN THE CHART BELOW. Table 1. Recommended Nozzles, Pressures and Setup Maximum Size Spray Pressure (at nozzle) Maximum Nozzle Spacing Direction of Spray Pattern Maximum Speed Spray Overlap (at each. edge) Nozzle Type Flat Fan 8 30-50 p.si 30" Down 10 mph 30% Flat-Fan Nozzles 30% (60% Total) Overlap Flood Nozzles 50% (100% Total) Overlap Flood 1 S 30-S0 psi 40" Down 10 mph 50% Using nozzles, pressures, or setups different from the above chart will result in reduced control. SPRAY CARRIER Always use clean water (free of mud or clay). dear liquid nitrogen, or complete clear liquid fertilizers as the carrier when spraying Gramoxone Max. Muddy water, or suspension-type fertilizers containing clay, can inactivate Gramoxone Max. Never use suspension-type fertilizers containing clay as the spray carrier. If using a complete clear liquid fertilizer containing high phosphate levels as the spray carrier, always use the higher rate of Gramoxone Max and surfactant. Note: When using liquid fertilizers such as 28% N as a spray carrier, it is important that non ionic sur­ factant still be used with Gramoxone Max. Liquid fertilizer carriers cannot substitute for surfactant. RATES OF GRAMOXONE MAX Follow recommended rates listed with each use of Gramoxone Max. Use the higher label rates when weeds are dense or large. Also. use higher label rates for harvest aid when crop vegetation is dense. For broadcast applications of Gramoxone Max with backpack sprayers, the application rate should not exceed 0.50 Ibs. a.i./A in a minimum of 30 gallons of spray solution per acre. SPRAY VOLUME Follow recommended minimum spray volumes listed with each use of Gramoxone Max. These are minimum volumes only. and spray volumes should be increased as necessary to obtain complete coverage of the target weed or plant without runoff from the fol'lage. WHEN SPRAYING LESS THAN 20 GALLONS OF SPRAY CARRIER PER ACRE, TARGET WEEDS SHOULD NOT EXCEED 6 INCHES IN HEIGHT. APPLICATION TIMING Gramoxone Max should be applied to emerged weeds when they are small. Weeds 1-6 inches in height are the easiest to control. Larger weeds may be more difficult to controL When weeds have been grazed or mowed, thus removing much of the green. fOliage, allow the weeds to regrow to a height of 2-4 inches before spraying if possible. Similarly. when forage or grain crops have been har­ vested prior to spraying, weeds present in the field will also have been cut. To allow for adequate green foliage to remain on weeds in this situation. raise cutter bars as high as possible from the ground to cut stubble and weeds at a greater height. BURN DOWN OF GRASS COVER CROPS OR VOLUNTEER CEREALS When using Gramoxone Max for control of grass cover crops or volunteer cereals, best results are obtained when Gramoxone Max is applied prior to tillering or after boot stage. This is especially important with a wheat cover crop or volunteer wheat. Treatments made between tillering and boot stage will generally not provide complete control. Do not expect complete control of perennial cover crops. Gramoxone® Max ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS Gramoxone Max is active over a wide range of environmental conditions. Cool weather (below 55°) will slow the activity of Gramoxone Max, as will cloudy, overcast weather, but will not affect performance. SPOT SPRAYING When only small areas are to be sprayed with labeled applications, it is advantageous to mix small quantities of Gramoxone Max. To aid in mixing small quantities, the following table should be consulted. If The Broadcast Rate Per Acre for Gramoxone Max is: Add The Following Amount of Gramoxone Max to 1 Gallon of Water 1'/2 pts. 2 pts. 21/2 pts. 3 pts. '/3 fl. oz. 3/a flo oz. '/2 fl. OZ. 2/3 fl. OZ. Always add 1/3_1/2 fl. oz. of a nonionic surfactant for each gallon of spray. When spot spraying in this manner, spray to thoroughly wet the foliage, but not to the point of runoff. TANK MIXING FOR IMPROVED BURN DOWN OF DIFFICULT WEEDS AND RESIDUAL WEED CONTROL Photosynthetic Inhibitor Herbicides Difficult weeds can often be controlleo by tank mixing Gramoxone Max with other herbicides. The addition of herbicides which are also photosynthetic inhibitors (PSI) will slow the activity of Gramoxone Max, allowing Gramoxone Max to thoroughly distribute itself within the treated leaf. The resulting level of control is usually greater than if Gramoxone Max was applied alone. Gramoxone Max may be applied in tank mixture with the following PSI herbicides: AAtrex® Herbicide Atrazine Herbicide Bicep MAGNUM® Herbicide Bicep Lite II MAGNUM® Herbicide Canopy® Herbicide Lariat® Herbicide Lexone® Herbicide Linex® Herbicide Lorox® Herbicides Lorox Plus™ Herbicide Princep® Herbicide Sencor0 Herbicides Refer to respective product label(s) for rates of application, directions for use, limitations, cautions and for a list of weeds controlled. Improved Weed Control With PSI's Control of difficult weeds listed below and annual grass control will be enhanced by the addition of a PSI herbicide. For best results a second application is needed. Barnyardgrass Broadleaf signatgrass Cheatgrass Cocklebur Fall panicum Giant ragweed Knotweed Kochia Lambsquarters Malva (cheeseweed) Marestail Morningglory Pennsylvania smartweed Improved Control of Perennial and Annual Broadleaf Weeds Perennial weeds (suppression only) Prickly lettuce Sedges Tansymustard Velvetleaf Volunteer wheat When perennial broadleaf weeds such as Canada thistle, bindweed, dandelion, etc. or difficult to control annual broad leaf weeds such as giant ragweed or morningglory are present, tank mixes with 2,4-D ester (Low Volatile), 2,4-DB or Banvel® herbicide, where labeled, will help improve control. Tank mixing the amine formulation of 2,4-D with Gramoxone Max may result in reduced grass controL Order of Tank Mixing In general, Gramoxone Max tank mixes with other products should be mixed as follows: 1. Fill spray tank '/2 full with clean water or other approved carriers such as dear liquid fertilizer. 2. Begin tank agitation and continue throughout mixing and spraying. 3. Add dry formulations (WP, DF, etc.) to tank. 4. Add liquid formulations (Se, Ee, L, etc.) to tank. 5. Add Gramoxone Max to tank. 6. Add non ionic surfactant to tank. 7. Fill remainder of spray tank. Always refer to labels of other pesticide products for mixing directions and precautions which may differ from those outlined here. Since many of the herbicides listed on this label are available in several types of formulations, it is advisable to perform a jar test to check physical compatibility. Gramoxone® Max GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS EQUIPMENT/CONTAINER Flush all spray equipment with water after use each day. Gramoxone Max is corrosive to aluminum Aluminum spray equipment and aluminum aircraft structures that are exposed to spray solution or spray drift should be flushed thoroughly with water immediately after use, In dry areas, dust stirred up by high winds or equipment tires can coat weed or plant leaves and reduce Gramoxone Max activity. Avoid applying Gramoxone Max in extremely dusty conditions LIMITATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS • For Cotton Harvest Aid: Do not pasture livestock in treated fields or feed treated foliage. 00 NOT use around home gardens, schools, recreational parks, or playgrounds, In preplant and preemergence (to the crop) uses, do not apply to soils lack'ing clay minerals, i.e., peat. muck, pure sand, artificial planting media. Seedbeds and plantbeds should be formed as far ahead of planting and treatment as possible to permit maximum weed and g'rass emergence prior to treatment. Seeding or transplanting should be done with a minimum amount of soil disturbance. Gramoxone Max used for preplant weed control over the top of plastic mulch may damage trans­ plants which come in contact with the plastic. Sufficient rainfall or sprinkler irrigation to cause wash-off prior to planting may be needed to prevent damage to the crop. Weeds and grasses emerging after application of Gramoxone Max will not be controlled or sup­ pressed. Unless otherwise indicated, crop plants emerged at time of application may be severely injured or killed if contacted by sprays of Gramoxone Max.
