GENERAL INFORMATlOIJ 
TRI-4 HF Is a herbiCide which when incorporated Into the soil provides Iong·lasting 
control of annual grasses and broad leaf weeds; it controls weeds by killing their seeds 
as they germinate, It does not control established weeds. incorporation of TRI·4 HF 
assures effective control regardless of weather conditions and permits shallow culti­
vation, rotary hoeing and hand hoeing without reducing its weed control activity. 
Following the use of this product and chemically related products with the same mode 
of action, naturally occurring biotypes· of some of the weeds listed on this label can­
not be effectively controlled by this and related products. This product should betank­
mixed or applied sequentially with an appropriate registered herbicide having a different 
mode of action to ensure control of resistant biotypes. 
"A weed biotype is a naturally occurring individual within a given species that has a 
slightly different, but distinct genetic makeup from other individUals.

SOil PREPARATION 
A good soil preparation is essential for best results: destroy existing weeds before her­
bicide application. Chop and thoroughly mix crop residues into the soil to a depth of 
at least 4 to 6 inches by deep plowing or discing before application. Use machinery 
that breaks up large clods. 
SOil TEXTURE 
Before application. determine soil texture In order to apply the correct rate. Rates giv­
en in this booklet refer to the following soil texture groups: 
COarse soils: sand. loamy sand, sandy loam 
Medium soils: loam, silty clay loam, silt loam, silt, sandy clay loam 
~- ---.-~,.-~-~-~ Silty clay loam and sandy clay loam soils are transitional soils and may be classified 
as either medium or fine rextured soils. If silty clay loam or sandy clay loam soils afe 
predominantly sand or silt, they are usually classnied as medium textured soils. If Ihey 
are preckJminantly clay, they are usually classified as flne textured soils, 
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS 
TRI-4 HF is an emulsifiable concentrate which must be mixed with water and applied 
as a spray before or In the same operation as soli incorporation, 
When TRI-4 HF Is used In combination with another herbicide, refer to the respective 
label for rates, methods of application, proper timing, weeds controlled, restrictions 
and precautions. Always use in accordance with the more restrictive label restrictions 
and precautions, No label dosage rates should be exceeded. TRI-4 HF cannot be mixed 
with any product containing a label prohibition such mixtures. 
GROUND APPLICATION 
Apply in 1 0 to 40 gatloos of water/acre (broadcast basis) using any properly callbrat­
ed low-pressure sprayer that will uniformly apply the spray. Pour the recommended 
amount of product into the spray tank during the filling operation and mix thoroughly 
before spraying, As the amount of water decreases, the importance of accurate cal­
ibration and uniform appllcatioolncreases, Check the sprayer daily. 
Do not apply the herbicide to soils wt11cl1 are wet or in poor condition or to soils which 
are subject to prolonged periods of flooding, 
AERIAL APPLICATION 
For best results apply to a dry soil surface at a spray volume of from 5 to 10 gallons/ 
acre. Adjust pump pressure, nozzle arrangements, flying speed and height to provide 
uniform application. Use mar1'iers or flagmen to assure proper application spray widths. 
Do not apply when the wind is blowing at a velocity of 5 mph 0( greater. 
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The 
interaction of many equlpment-and-weatller-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-targetdrift 
movement from aerial appllcations to agricultural field crops, These requirements do 
not apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications using dry 
formulations. 
1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length 
of the wingspan or rolDr. 
2, Nozzles must always point backward parallel w~h the air stream and never be point-
ed downwards more than 45 degrees. 
Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. 
The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered 
in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information. 
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 cov­
erage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent 
drift if applications are made Improperly, or under unfavorable environmental condi­
tions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions). 
ContrOlling Droplet Size 
• Volume· Use high flow rate noules to apply the highest practical spray volume. 
Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. 
Pressure - Do not exceed the nollie 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. 
5 
• Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform 
coverage. 
• Nozzle Orientation· Orienting noules 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 wilt 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 applica­
tions 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 compen­
sate fO( this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjust­
ment distance should increase, with Increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller 
drops, etc.). 
WInd 
Drift potential is lowest between wind 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 larg­
er droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when 
conditions are both hot and dry. 
Temperature Inversions 
Appllcations should not occur during a temperature Inversion because drift potential 
is high. Tempernture inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small sus­
pended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud, This cloud can move in unpre­
dictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. 
Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with aMude 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 indi­
cated by ground fog; however, if fog Is not present, inversions can also be identified 
by the movement of smclul 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 indi­
cates good vertical air mixing. 
Sensitive Areas 
The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitiw 
areas (e,g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endan­
gered species, non-target crops) Is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the 
sensitive areas). 
APPLICATION THROUGH OVEHHI fill SPfllNKlER 
IRRIGATION SYSTE~~S (CIIEMIGATION) 
TRI-4 HF can be applied through moving, properly equipped sprinkler Irrigation sys­
terns for weed control in several crops. Soil incorporation is not required with TRI-4 HF 
when applied through sprinkler irrigation when 0.5-1 Inch of irrigation is applied 
depending on the crop_ Read and follow all label instructions before application. 
Apply this product only through continuously moving center pivot, lateral move, or end 
row sprinkler irrigation systems, DO NOT APPlY THIS PRODUCT THROUGH Mrf OTH­
ER TYPE OF IRRIGATION SYSTEM, 
Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result 
from non-uniform distribution of treated water. 
If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service 
Specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts. 
The irrigation system must be correctly calibrated (with water only) to ensure that the 
recommended rate of TRI-4 HF is app!\ed. 
DO NOT CONNECT AN IRRIGATION SYSTEM (including greenhouse systems) USED 
FOR PESTICIDE APPLICATION TO A PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM UNLESS THE PESTICIDE 
LABEL PRESCRIBED SAFETY DEVlCES FOR PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS ARE IN PLACE. 
t1t7

A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, 
or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and 
make necessary adjustments should the need arise. 
The system should have properly working nozzles providing the recommended output 
and pattern, The chemigation system should also be free of leaks. 
Overhead Sprinkler Irrigation System Requirements 
1. The system must cootain a functiOnal check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low 
pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water 
source contamination from back flow. 
2, The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatiC, quick-closing 
check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. 
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional. normally closed, 
solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and con­
nected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the sup­
ply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut OOwn. 
4. The system must contain function Interlocking controls to automatically shut off 
the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. 
5, The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which 
will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point 
that pesticide distribution Is adversely affected. 
6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump 
(e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are 
compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. 
7. Do nol apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. 
The following routine checks will help to ensure that the sprinkler Irrigation 
system is working properly: 
1. Use a calibrated injection metering pump as specified by the manufacturer. 
2. Metering pump, the supply tank, and any associated equipment must be clean and 
dry before adding undiluted TRI-4 HF to the system for injection. 
3. Check the metering pump periodically to confirm that TRI·4 HF is being injected 
continuously and at the proper calibration throughout the irrigation period. 
4. Continuous agitation must be maintained in the supply tank during the entire over-
head 5p(inkler irrigation period. 
Use of this product could stain irrigation equipment and eqUipment assoclatw 
ed with the use or TRl
w
4 HF. 
CHEMIGATION MIXING DIRECTIONS 
Undiluted T8I-4 HF: Chemlgation equipment must be completely cleaned and dry 
before TRI·4 HF is added to the system for injection. Continuous agitation must be 
engaged throughout the injection of undiluted TRI-4 HF into the injection tank. 
Diluted TRl
w
4 HF: Diluted TRI-4 HF can be used for the calibration of irrigation equip­
ment. The volume of TRI-4 HF added to the injection tank Is equal to what is required. 
Agitation must be started prior to the addition of TRI-4 HF to the water. Next fill the 
supply tank with the remainder of water that Is needed fOf equipment calibration. 
Continuous agitation must be engaged throughout the injection of TRI-4 HF into the 
injection tank, 
DO NOT APPLY TRI-4 HF THROUGH AllY IRRIGATION SYSTEM IF THESE DIREC­
TIONS ARE NOT FOllOWED CAREFULLY.

For best results the herbicide must be incorporated within 24 hours after application. 
A second incorporation is required al any time prior 10 planting using the equipment 
in a different direction from the first. Incorporation should place the product into the 
top 2 or 3 inches of the final seedbed. 
Variable weed control may result from delayed incorporation if the herbicide is applied 
to a wet. warm soil suriace or if the wind velocity is 10 mph or higher. 
After planting. 
When incorporating after planting (check crops approved for incorporation after plant­
ing), use P.T.O.·driven equipment or Rolling Cultivators and adjust to till the soil over 
the seed or throw treated soil toward the crop. Avoid disturbing the seed or mechan­
ically damaging the crop. 
In bedded culture. 
For effective weed control in bedded culture the product should be incorporated into 
the top 2 to 3 inches of the final seedbed. 
Knock off beds to planting height before application and incorporation on bedded 
ground. Avoid removal of treated soil from the seedbed before or during the planting 
operation. This will expose untreated soil and allow weeds to germinate in the drill 
row. 
6 
Equipment. 
For incorporation use machinery which pulverizes large clods and mix the herbicide 
thoroughly with the soil. Thorough Incorporation may be achieved with the following: 
disc, set to cut 410 6 inches deep and operated in two different directions at 4 to 6 
mph; field cultivator, set to cut 3 to 4 inches deep and operated at 5 mph or more: 
rolling cultivator, set to cut 2 to 4 inches deep and operated two times at 6 to 8 mph 
(adequate for use on coarse or medium textured soils only); bed conditioner, set to 
cut 2 to 4 inches deep and operated one time at 4 to 6 mph (adequate for use on 
coarse and medium teldured soils only); mulch treader and other similar disc-type 
implements, set to cut 3 to 4 inches deep and operated at 5 to 8 mph in two differ­
ent directions; P.T.O.-drlven equipment (tillers, cultivators. hoes), set to cut 2 to 3 
inches deep with rotors spaced to provide a clean sweep of the soil and operated one 
time (they should not be operated at a speed greater than 4 mph). 
APPLICATION WITH LIQUID FERTILIZERS 
TRI-4 HF may be mixed with most liquid fertilizers. The mixture has provided weed 
and grass control equal to the same rates of TRI-4 HF applied in water. 
All individual state regulations relating to fluid liquid fertilizer mixing, registration, label­
ing and application are the responsibility of the individual andlor company selling the 
fertilizer and chemical mixture. 
TRI·4 HF alone or In tank-mixture may not combine properly with some fluid fertiliz­
er material. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether a compatibility agent is 
needed and which agent works property, testing small quantities before full-scale 
mixing. 
1. Put 1 pI. of fertilizer mixture in a quart jar. 
2. Add 1 to 4 teaspoonfuls of the formulation which must be mixed to the liquid fer­
tilizer (depending on the recommended rate/acre). 
3. Close jar and agitate until the materials are dispersed evenly in the fertilizer. If the 
materials do not disperse well, slurry the chemicals in water before adding to the 
fertilizer. 
4. Add 3 to 4 teaspoonfuls of TRI-4 HF to the jar and shake well. 
5. Watch the mixture for about 1 0 minutes. If the mixture does not separate, or if agi­
tation is only required to resuspend, the combination may be used. If the mixture 
separates. gets very thick or syrupy, do not combine for field application. A com­
patibility agent Is needed. 
6. Mixing ability may be improved by adding a compatibility agent. Follow the proce­
dure outlined above and add 0.1 teaspoonful of the compatibility agent in step 2. 
Complete the other steps to detennine if the compatibility agent solves the problem. 
The use of compatibility agents is especially important when tank mixing emulsifiable 
concentrates with dry flowables, wettable powders, aqueous suspensions, flowables, 
liquids or solutions in liquid fertilizers. 
If a compatibility agent is needed, add it to the fluid fertilizer before adding the 
TRI-4 HF alone or In mixture. 
Anyone of the compatlbllity agents listed below is helpful in causing liquk1 concen­
trates to form non-oUing mixtures with liquid fertilizers. These compatibility agents 
can be used at rates as low as 1 112 to 2 pints per ton of liquid fertilizer and should 
be mixed well wilh the fertilizer before adding the liquid concentrate. Read the label 
on the compatibility agent and follow the directions.

All of the above are phosphate, ester-type surfactants designed to be used with liq­
uid fertilizers. They usually 00 not work as compatibility agents In tank mfxlures in 
plain water. 
Follow normal application procedures to apply and incQfPOrate, 
APPLICATION WITH DRY BULK FEHTILIZERS 
Dry bulk fertilizers may be impregnated or coated with TRI-4 HF. Application of dry 
bulk fertilizers impregnated with TRI-4 HF has provided weed and grass control equal 
to the same rates of TRI-4 HF applied in water. 
All TRI-4 HF label recommendations regarding rates/acre, approved crops, incorpo­
ration, special Instructions, cautioos and special precautions must be followed. All indi­
vidual state regulations relating to dry bulk fertilizer blending, registration, labeling 
and application are the responsibility of the individual and/or company selling the ler· 
tlllzer and chemical mi){\ure.

Limitations. 
Apply a minimum of 200 pounds/acre of dry fertilizer impregnated with TRI-4 HF at 
the recommended rates. Any commonly used dry fertilizer can be used for TRI-4 HF 
impregnation except coated ammonium nitrate and straight limestone. These mate­
rials will not absorb the herbicide. Blends containing mixtures of these materials can 
be impregnated. 
Impregnation. 
Use any closed drum, bett, ribbon or other commonly used dry bulk fertilizer blender. 
Provide uniform spray coverage of TRI-4 HF on to the fertilizer. 
Rates. 
Check the crop section to determine the rate of TRI-4 HF/acre. See the rate table which 
follows to determine amount of TRI·4 HF to be impregnated on a ton of dry bulk fer­
tilizer based on the amount of fertilizer which will be applied/acre. 
Application. 
Spread the fertilizer/chemical mixture normally with a properly calibrated applicator. 
Be certain the material is applied uniformly to the soil suriace. 
Incorporation. 
Follow normal incorporation procedures.

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS 
Where applicable, rates are given for Eastern United States and Western United States. 
The dividing line between Eastern and Western States is the point where the average 
rainlalVyear is a minimum of 20 to 25 inches. 
Rates are given for broadcast applicatkln; forband application use proportional amount

ALFALFA (Established) 
Postemergence Incorporated 
Use restricted to Western U.S. only. 
Apply to established alfalfa stands at a broaclcast rate/acre of 1 1/2 pis. on coarse 
soil and 2 pts. on medium and fine soils. Use incorporation equipment that will ensure 
thorough soil mixing With a minimum of damage to the established alfalfa. 
Chemlgatlon Applications to Established Alfalfa 
Annual grass control can be achieved through sprinkler irrigation or broadcast sur­
face applications. 
Broaclcast applications may be made to the soil suriace in established alfalfa. However, 
the TRI·4 HF must be activated by moisture through rainfall, or Irrigation. At least 0.5 
inches of moisture is required by rainfall Of overhead sprinkler irrigation to activate 
TRI-4 HF for weed control. When furrow irrigation is used, field inspection should be 
done to ensure that the beds are thoroughly wet between the furrows. In situations 
where rainfall has no1 occurred lor3 days mechanical incorporation can be done, how­
ever, in such a way that ensures thorough soil mixing while eliminating or minimizing 
potential damage to established alfalfa. 
Applications during dormancy, semi-dormancy or immediately after cutting can be 
made during the growing season. Applications of TRI-4 HF will not control established 
weeds, therefore timing of application should occur prior to weed seed germination. 
To control cheat and Bromegrass, apply TRI-4 HF immediately after cutting between 
August 1 and October 1, before weeds emerge. If applied in the fall TRI-4 HFwili con­
trollabeled weeds that germinate after application.

TRI-4 HF can be applied after the corn has reached a size of 2 true leaves or greater. 
TRI-4 HF should be applied over ttle corn, or post-directed using drop nozzles if the 
foliage is so dense that the spray solution cannot contact the soil. 
Mechanical incorporation of TRI-4 HF must be completed within 24 hours of applica­
tion to prevent volatilization of product which causes reduced weed control. The prod­
uct must also be incorporated in the weed seed germination zone for optimum 
effectiveness. Mechanical incorporation can be completed with a single pass sweep­
type or rolling cuHivalor. The sweep-type cuHivator must have 3-5 sweeps between 
the rows for maximum mixing of soil. 00 NOT expose untreated soil. Avoid crop injury

• For the control of Wild Cane (shattercane). Wild cane can germinate from greater 
soil depth than most other weed seeds. Several "flushes" or germinating times are 
common in one season. Commercially acceptable cootrol of Wild Cane can be 
obtained with the increased rates of TRI-4 HF. 
Land preparation: Work your land to destroy existing grasses and weeds. Thoroughly 
mix crop residues into the soil to a depth of 4 to 6 inches. 
Application. Apply before planting at a broadcast rate/acre of 1 pI. on coarse soil, 
2 pts. on medium soii, 2 1/2 pts. on fine soil. 
Incorporation. Deep incorporation is essential to good wild cane control. Incor~rate 
thoroughly with a disc only set to cut 4 to 6 inches deep and operate in 2 different 
directions at 4 to 6 mph. 
Cultivation. Cultlvations during the crop season will also contribute to control. 
Precautions: Plant soybeans after early season adverse weather conditions have 
passed. Do not plant soybeans deeper than 2 inches. Crop injury in the 
form of delayed growt11 may occur under adverse COOl, wet weather 
conditions early In the season when TRI-4 HF is used according to U1ese

years In a row at a broadcast rate/acre of 4 pts. on all soil textures each year. 
Incorporate thoroughly with a disc set to cut 4 to 6 inches deep and operate 2 times 
at4 to 6 mph. 
Some Johnsongrass plants will escape. Timely cultivations are necessary. 
Precautions: Do not use the 4 pts. rate on new plantings; do not apply to vineyards 
within 6 months of haIVest; do not interplant orchards or vineyards wnh 
other crops; if the TRI-4 HF treated vineyards and orchards are divert­
ed to other crop uses, plant only those crops for which TRI-4 HF has 
been registered as a preplant treatment. 
• For Field Bindweed control in vineyards, almond, apricot, grapefruit, lemon, nec­
tarine, orange, peach, pecan, tangelo, tangerine, and walnut trees in California only. 
Apply in the spring with specially designed spray blade which applies at a soil depth 
of 4 to 6 inches at a broadcast rate/acre of 4 pts. on all soil telctures in 40-80 gal­
lons of water/acre. 
Destroy aU weeds and grasses with soil tillage before applying. 
Precautions: Some soils develop cracks as they dry after rainfall or irrigation and 
Field Bindweed may emerge. Prevent or eliminate cracks by shallow 
discing or other tillage. 
WHEAT 
WINTER WHEAT grown in Idaho, Montana, Oreoon and Washington. 
Apply any time during a period from 3 weeks up to immediately prior to planting at a 
broadcast rate/acre of 1 1/2 pis. on coarse and medium soils and 2 pts. on fine soils. 
Incorporate, with a flexible tine-tooth harrow set to cut 1 to 2 inches deep and oper­
ate at 3 to 6 mph, one time within 24 hours after application and a second time, in a 
different direction, prior to planting. 
WINTER WHEAT fallow soil applicatioo in Washington and Oregon. Apply any time 
from May to September prior to the fall planting at a broadcast rate/acre of 1 1/2 pis. 
on coarse and medium soils and 2'pts. on fine soil. 
Incorporate, with a flexible tine-tooth harrow set to cut 1 to 2 inches deep and oper­
ate at 3 to 6 mph, one time within 24 hours after application and a second time, in a 
different direction, prior to planting. 
SPRING WHEAT, DURUM 
twly as a poSlplant incorporated trealment, after seeding but before the crop emerges, 
to control foxtail at a broadcast rate/acre of 1 pt. on coarse and medIUm soils and 
11/2 pts. on fine soil. Incorporate using a flex-Une or diamond harrow operating two 
times in different directions at 5 mph, 1 to 1 1/2 inches deep. 
TRI-4 HF may be fall applied for fox1aiVpigeongrass control in spring wheat, durum 
and Qirley planted the following spring. TRJ-4 HF may be applied to ground that has 
a manageable trash level, has been fallowed Of pre-tilled. Apply any time between 
October 15 and December 31 at a broadcast rate/acre of 1 pI. on coarse or medium 
soils and 1 1/2 pts. on fine soil. For the Incorporation use: chisel plow (for the first 
pass only) operating at 4 to 6 mph, set to cut at 4-5 inches deep', tandem disc, oper­
ating at 4 to 6 mph, 3-4 inches deep: field CUltivator, operating at 5 mph, 3-4 inch­
es deep.

Precaution: While use of this practice may result in a stand reduction, slight stand 
reductions do not normally affect yield. 
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS 
Applied according to directions and under normal growing condttions TRI-4 HF will 
not harm the treated crop. Over application may result in crop injury or a soil residue. 
Uneven application or improper soil incorporation can result in erratic weed control or 
crop injury. 
Special precautions must be taken: 
In the Western United States (Arizona, Colorado, Cal'ltornia, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, 
New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming): to avoid crop injury do not 
plant sugarbeets, red beets or spinach for 12 months after TRI-4 HF application 
or for 14 months after a fall application of the product. 
00 not plant sorghum, COfn, oats for 14 months after spring application or for 16 
months after fall application. If land has not been Irrigated, do not plant any of these 
crops for 18 months after spring application or for 20 months after fall application. 
In the Western United States (Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South 
Dakota and Texas in those areas where at least 25 inches of Irrigation or rainfall 
was used to produce the crop): do not plant sorghum or oats for 12 months after 
the herbicide application. If less than 25 inches of water was used to produce the 
crop, do not plant sorghum or oats for 18 months after appflcat'ton. Cool, wet weath­
er condnlons during the early stage of growth may increase the possibility of injury 
to sorghum. 
In the Eastern United States; moldboard plow before planting sugarbeels where 
spring application was made the previous season. 
In Florida only: do not plant vegetable crops other than those listed in the label 
within 5 months following the application of TRI-4 HF. 
Use of TRI-4 HF herbicide in accordance w'lth label d'lrecfions is expected to result in 
normal growth of rotational crops in most situations; however, various environmental 
and agronomic factors make it impossible to eliminate all risks associated with the 
use of this product and, therefore, rotational crop injury is always possible.
