SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment·and-weather-related factors to 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 applications, public health uses or to applications using dry formulations. 1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 0/. 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 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. Importance of Droplet Size The most effective way to reduce droplet 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 the 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 steam 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 - 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 applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. Swath Adjustment When applications are made with a cross-wind, 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 wind speeds of 2-10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and Jf/r!J 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 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. Temperature Inversions Application 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 common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures 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, if fog is not present, the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator can also identify inversions. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upwards 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., residential 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 INFORMATION HELENA BRAND DIURON 80WP WEED KILLER is a wettable powder to be mixed in water and applied as a spray for control of weeds. It is non-corrosive to equipment, non-flammable and non-volatile. HELENA BRAND DIURON 80WP may be applied to the soil prior to emergence of weeds to control susceptible weed seedlings for an extended period depending on dosage rate used. Results vary with soil type. Heavy soils (high organic matter) require higher dosage rates than lighter soils (low in organic matter) to obtain equivalent herbicidal performance. Best results occurif rainfall (or irrigation) occurs with two weeks of application. HELENA BRAND DIURON 80WP also may be used to control emerged seeding annual weeds by including a surfactant in the spray mixture. Best results are obtained on succulent weeds growing under high humidity and temperatures of 70 0 F or higher. Since the effect of HELENA BRAND DIURON 80WP varies with soils, uniformity of application and environmental conditions, it is suggested that growers limit their first use to small areas; this is especially important where the operator is not completely familiar with requirements for precise application, since over dosage can result in injury to crops. USE PRECAUTIONS Injury to or loss of desirable trees or other plants may result from failure to observe the following: Do not apply (except as recommended for crop use), or drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas where their rbots may extend, or in locations, where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or similar areas. Prevent drifts of dry powder or spray to desirable plants. Do not contaminate domestic water. Keep form contact with fertilizer, insecticides, fungicides, and seeds. [SEE SOIL LIMITATIONS]. Thoroughly clean all traces of HELENA BRAND DIURON 80WP from application equipment immediately after use. Flush tank, pump, hose, and boom with several changes of water after removing nozzle tips and screens (clean these parts separately). DIRECTIONS Before spraying, calibrate equipment to determine quantity of water necessary to uniformly cover area to be . treated. Weigh proper amount of HELENA BRAND DIURON 80WP and mix into necessary volume of water. Material must be kept in suspension at all times by continuous agitation. Except for small areas, use fixed boom power sprayers properly calibrated to insure a constant rate of application. Opening in screens should be equal to or larger than 50 mesh. Agitate by mechanical or hydraulic means in the spray tank. If by- 6/e pass or retum line is used, it should terminate at bottom of tank to minimize foaming. Do not use air agitation. When a range of dosage rates is listed, use the lower rates in lighter soils (sandy loams, and soil low in organic matter), and the higher rates on heavier soils (clay loams, clays, and soils high in organic matter). GENERAL WEED CONTROL: To control most weeds for an extended period of time on non-cropland such as utility, highway, pipeline and railroad right of ways, petroleum tank farms, lumberyards, storage areas, industrial plant sites, and around farm buildings. Apply to these areas at the rate of 5 to 20 Ibs. of HELENA BRAND DIURON 80WP per acre to control most annual weeds. Use 20 to 60 Ibs. per acre for perennial weeds; additional treatment may be required where a longer period of control is desired or when hard to kill, deep-rooted perennial weeds such as Johnsongrass are present. In low rainfall areas, HELENA BRAND DIU RON 80WP may not provide satisfactory control of deep-rooted perennial weeds. For weed control on small areas, use one-half cupful of HELENA BRAND DIURON 80WP per 100 sq. ft. for a dosage of approximately 50 Ibs. per acre. IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE DITCHES: Apply 5 to 20 Ibs. per acre to control most annual weeds; use 20 to 60 Ibs. per acre to control both annual and perennial weeds. For irrigation ditches and during the non-cropland season and when ditch is not in use. To minimize movement of HELENA BRAND DIURON 80WP with irrigation water (to avoid possible crop injury), it is essential that the herbicide be fixed in the soil by moisture. Apply before expected seasonal rainfall (if possible when soil in the ditch is still moist). Following treatment, if rainfall has not totaled at least 4 inches, fill ditch with water and allow the water to stand for 72 hours; then drain off the water before using ditch. Do not treat any ditch into which roots of trees or other desirable plants may extend as injury may result. SELECTIVE USE IN CROPS [SEE SOIL LIMITATIONS] WEEDS CONTROLLED: HELENA BRAND DIU RON 80WP as a pre-emergence treatment selectively controls germinating seedling weeds in certain crops. Rates of Y. to 1 lb. per acre control some annuals including crabgrass, barnyardgrass, pigweed, purslane, lambquarters, and ragweed. At 1 Y, to 2lbs. per acre, seedling weeds, such as bluegrass (poa annual, annual sweet vemalgrass, foxtail, rattail fescue, red sprangletop, velvetgrass, chickweed, com spurry, dog fennel, Amsinckia (fiddleneck), gromwell, groundsel, knawel, shepherdspurse, tansymustard, wild lettuce, wild mustard, annual groud cherry and annual momingglory are controlled. In addition, 2 to 6 Ibs. per acre control weeds such as annuallovegrass, annual ryegrass, sandbur, ricegrass, orchardgrass,com speedwell, horseweed, kochia, kyllinga, Mexican clover, hawksbeard, peppergrass, pineappleweed, pokeweed, rabbit tobacco, ageratum, Spanishneedles and wild radish. Partial control of quackgrass and horsenettle usually occurs with 4 Ibs. per acre; partial control of maiden cane, pangolagrass and guineagrass usually occurs with treatment at 8 to 10 Ibs. per acre. Results vary with soil types (the lower rates are effective on the lighter soils and higher rates on heavier soils) and environmental conditions. Sufficient moisture in the form of rainfall or irrigation is necessary after treatment to carry the chemical into the root zone of germinating weeds. Any well established weeds should first be eliminated by mechanical or other means. For best results, the soil should first be eliminated by mechanical or other means. For best results, the soil should be well prepared and as free as possible from trash and clods. Unless otherwise directed, surface of the soil should not be cultivated or disturbed after application of HELENA BRAND DIU RON 80WP as efficiency may be reduce. HELENA BRAND DIURON 80WP plus a surfactant is an effective treatment of emerged seedling weeds for use as a directed post emergence spray in certain crops. Rates as low as Y.l 141bs. HELENA BRAND DIURON 80WP per acre plus a surfactant controls seedling pigweed. Rates 1 1 2 lb. per acre controls seedling weeds such as crabgrass, goosegrass, bamyardgrass (watergrass), crowfoot, pigweed, purslane, and annual morninggfory. Best results are obtained under conditions of high humidity and temperatures over 70°F. SOIL LIMITATIONS: Crop injury may result from failure to observe the following: Unless otherwise directed, do not use (1) on light (sand, loamy sand or gravelly) soils or exposed subsoils (2) on alfalfa, apples, barley, citrus, cotton (pre-plant and lay-by) grapes, olives, pears, plumosus fem, sorghum, sugarcane and winter wheat where organic matter is less than 1 % (3) on blueberries, birdsfoot trefoil, caneberries, gladiolus, and gooseberries where organic matter is less than 2%. ('/,3 Unless otherwise directed, do not replant treated areas to any crops within two years after last application as injury to subsequent crops may result. CROPS ALL RATES ARE EXPRESSED AS BROADCAST RATES: where band applications are specified, use proportionately less.

(SEE SOIL LIMITATIONS) GRAPES: Apply only to established vineyards (at least 3 years old) as a band treatment to grape rows. Do not apply to vines with trunks less than 1 1 12 inches in diameter as injury may result. (SEE SOIL LIMITATIONS) NOTE: On soils low in clay or organic matter (less than 2%) severe plant injury may result if unusually heavy rains follow treatment and this risk must be assumed by the user. EAST OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS: On soils low in clay or organic matter (1 to 2%), use 2 to 3lbs. per acre: on soils high in clay or organic matter, use 3 to 6lbs. Apply in the spring just prior to germination and growth of annual weeds. NEW YORK AND PENNSYLVANIA - CONTROL OF PERENNIAL GRASSES: Apply only to established vineyards (at least 4 years old) for spot control of perennial grasses such as quackgrass, ryegrass and orchardgrass as a band treatment to ridered soil (2 to 4 inches high) under the Trellis at the rate of 8 to 121bs. per acre. Bond width should not exceed 3D inches. Make one application in the spring of the year and do not apply the 8 to 12 Ibs. per acre rate more than once every 4 years. Use only on heavy soil types such as loams, silt loams, clay loams. Do not use in areas where grape roots are shallow or exposed because of high bedrock, poor drainage, or erosion, as injury to grapes may result. WEST OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS: Apply in December, January, or February. For initial treatment, make a single application of 3 to 4lbs. per acre subsequent annual applications of 2 Ibs. will usually give adequate weed control.

Do not apply after crop begins growth in the spring as crop injury may result. In fields where ash residues have accumulated from buming straw, use chopper before application. conON (SEE SOIL LIMITATIONS) PRE·PLANT: ARIZONA AND CALIFORNIA ONLY: Apply 1 to 2 1/2 Ibs. per acre as a broadcast spray after furrows for pre·planting irrigation have been formed; apply either just prior to planting or after the pre·planting irrigation but before seed beds are dragged off in preparation for planting. (SEE SOIL LIMITATIONS) Prior to planting, drag off the top of the seed bed and plant in untreated soil. Treated soil is retumed to the bed after planting when irrigation furrows are reformed. If more than 2 furrowing out operations are performed prior to lay·by weed control in the furrow bottoms may be lost. A lay·by application also may be made but the combined total per season must not exceed 1.2 Ibs. HELENA BRAND DIURON 8DWP per acre on sandy loam, nor 2.2 Ibs. HELENA BRAND DIURON 8DWP per acre on clay. PRE·EMERGENCE (EXCEPT ARIZONA AND CALIFORNIA): Make a single application as a broadcast or a band spray after planting but before cotton emerges. Use at the following rates: BROACCASTTREATMENT Soil Type' Spray Mixture lbs. lbs. Applied Per Ciuron in 25 to 40 gals. Acre Water Per Acre Loamy sand 0.6 0.5 Sandy loam, loam, 1.0 0.8 silt loam. and silt Sandy clay loam, 1.25 1.0 clay loam, silty clay loam, and sand clay Silty clay and clay 2.0 1.6 'Do not use on sand as crop injury may result. Do not treat cotton in deep furrows as crop injury may result. BAND TREATMENT Use proportionately less: for example, for 14 inch band on 42 inch row, use 1/3 of broadcast rate. Apply immediately after cotton is planted: wherever possible, planting and spraying should be combined in one operation. For best results, soil should be well prepared and as free as possible from trash and clods. Shallow incorporation (no deeper than 1/4 inch) with a rotary hoe or similar equipment following planting usually improves results particularly during dry weather. A wide press wheel following planting should be used to provide a level seed bed for subsequent early season post-emergence treatments. Treatment usually provides weed control for a period of 3 to 8 weeks. Sufficient moisture (usually 1 to 2 inches) in the form of rainfall or irrigation is necessary after treatment to carry the chemical into the root zone of germinating weeds; best results are obtained when this occurs within 2 weeks after application. If moisture is insufficient to activate HELENA BRAND DIURON 8DWP or if soil becomes crusted before crop emerges, a shallow rotary hoeing (no deeper than 1/4 inch) should be made before weeds become well established. If initial seeding fails to produce a stand, cotton may be replanted in soil treated with HELENA BRAND DIURON 8DWP. Wherever possible, avoid disturbing original bed. If necessary to rework soil before replanting use shallow cultivation such as discing: do not relist nor move soil into the original drill area, plant seed at least 1 inch deep, do not retreat field with a second pre-emergence application of HELENA BRAND DIURON 8DWP during the same crop year as injury to the crop may result. , ' POST-EMERGENCE: EARLY SEASON: Apply in combination with surfactant as a directed spray when cotton is at least 6 inches tall and when weeds do not exceed 2 inches in height, a second application may be made if needed. Control of weeds under drought stress or over 2 inches in height is usually impractical. Apply as a band treatment only, directing spray to cover weed foliage. DO NOT SPRAY OVER lOP OF COTTON. Use pressure of 20 to 25 psi and adjust nozzles to minimize contact of cotton leaves with spray or drift, or crop injury may result.

HELENA BRAND DIU RON BOWP (1 to 2lbs. in Arizona and Califomia in 25 to 40 gals. water per acre as a directed spray) (SEE SOIL LIMITATIONS). Apply when cotton is at least 12 inches high (at least 20 inches for Pima 5-2). Keep contact of spray or drift on cotton plants to a minimum. DO NOT SPRAY OVER TOP OF COTTON. For control of germinating weed seedlings, apply immediately after last cultivation, directing spray to cover the soil beneath after last cultivation, directing spray to cover the soil benealh cotton plants and between rows. Altematively, for control of emerged annual weeds (4 inches or less in height) at lay-by time, add 1 pt. surfactant for each 25 gals. spray; apply as a directed spray to cover weed foliage beneath cotton plants and between rows. NOTE: Treatment of 1/2 to 3/4 lb. HELENA BRAND DIURON BOWP per acre plus surfactant followed by the same treatment later, if needed, may be used as an alternate to the preceding recommendation. In irrigated cotton, best pre-emergence weed control is obtained if the field is irrigated within 3 to 4 days after application; thoroughly wet the surface of the ground over the row to carry the herbicide into the root zone of germinating weeds.

NOTE: During a single crop season, do not exceed the following amount of HELENA BRAND DlURON BOWP per acre as injury to subsequent crops may result 0.8 Ibs. on loamy sand; 1.21bs. on sandy loam, 1.61bs. on clay loams: and 2.2Ibs. on clay. WESTERN OREGON: On alta fescue, highland bentgrass, Astoria bentgrass, orchardgrass, Kentucky bluegrass (Merion bluegrass), apply 2 to 4 Ibs. per acre between October 1 and November 15. In fields where ash residues have accumulated from buming straw, use 3 to 4 Ibs. per acre: spread unburned chaff or straw with a harrow or chopper before application. If perennial velvetgrass (Holcus lanatus) is a problem, use 4 Ibs. per acre. For best results, apply as soon as possible after fall rains start. Established weeds (beyond 2 to 4 leaf stage) should be removed prior to treatment. Well established vigorous sands of spring planted alta fescue orchardgrass and Kentucky bluegrass may be treated the following fall provided the crop is planted before April 1 and treatment is not applied before October 15 use HELENA BRAND DlURON BOWP at 2 Ibs per acre. OLIVES - CALIFORNIA: Use only under trees established in the grove for at least 1 year. Do not apply in areas where roots of other valuable plants or trees may extend as injury may result. Apply 2 Ibs. per acre after the grove is laid up in final form in late October or November. A second application is 2 Ibs. per acre should be made in March or April. Remove weed growth prior to treatment. Avoid contact of foliage with spray of drift. SEE SOIL LIMITATIONS PINEAPPLE - HAWAII: Apply 4 to 8 Ibs. per acre as a broadcast spray immediately after planting and prior to weed emergence. Use 4lbs. per acre after harvesting plant crop (for ratoon crop). For'plant crop only, a second and third broadcast or interspace application may be made prior to differentiation at the rate of 2 Ibs. per acre at intervals of not less than 2 months. Additional applications to plant crop may be.made as needed to interspace using 2 Ibs. per acre .. Do not apply more than 3 broadcast sprays (maximum 12 Ibs. per acre) prior to differentiation not more than 16 Ibs. per acre per plant crop. Treated areas may be planted to pineapple or sugar cane 1 year after last application. PLUMOUS FERN - FLORIDA: Treat only established stands at least 1 year old. Apply 3lbs. per acre following hand weeding and 3 to 5 days after mowing of fern (SEE SOIL LIMITATIONS). Do not cultivate or disturb soil after application as crop injury may result. SORGHUM (GRAIN) - SOUTHWESTERN STATES: Apply 1 14 to 1/2 lb. per acre as a directed post­ emergence broadcast or band treatment after sorghum is 15 inches tall to control weed 2 to 4 inches in height. DO NOT SPRAY OVER TOP OF SORGHUM. Add 1 pt. of a surfactant per 25 gals. spray. Apply at spray pressures of 20 to 25 psi to minimize drift. Use lower rate on broadleaved weeds up to 2 inches tall. Use the higher rate on grasses up to 2 inches and broad leaved weeds up to 4 inches tall. When the lower rate is used a second application may be made if needed provided that the total herbicide applied in one crop year does not exceed 1 12 lb. of Diuron 80WP per acre. Treatment of weeds under drought stress is usually ineffective. Do not replant treated areas to crops other than cotton or com within 4 months following band treatments and 6 months following broadcast treatment as crop injury may result. (SEE SOIL LIMITATIONS) SUGAR CANE: To prevent possible crop injury on-new cane varieties. Tolerance to HELENA BRAND DIURON 80WP should be determined prior to adoption as field practice. Do not treat sugar cane growing on thinly covered sub-soils or rocky areas as crop injury may result: see Soil Limitations. Temporary chlorosis of the crop may result from application over emerged cane: to minimize chlorosis. Use directed post-emergence sprays. (SEE SOIL LIMITATIONS) FLORIDA: For high organic soils, apply 2 to 4 Ibs. per acre as a broadcast or band spray prior to weed emergence after planting or after harvesting plant crop 11/,3 (for ratoon crop). A second and third application of 2lbs. per acre may be made as needed by directed spray inter row. Do not apply more than 3 treatments nor more than 6 Ibs. total per acre between planting (or ratooning) and harvest. HAWAII AND PUERTO RICO: Apply 4 to 8 Ibs. per acre as a broadcast spray prior to weed emergence after planting or after harvesting plant crop (for ratoon crop). A second and third application of 2 to 4 Ibs. per acre may be made as a broadcast spray over emerged cane or by directed spray inter row. If weeds are emerged, add a surfactant to the spray mixture at the rate of 1 to 2 qts. per 100 gals. and apply as a directed spray. DO NOT SPRAY OVER TOP OF CANE. Do not apply more than 3 treatments nor more than 10 Ibs. (Puerto Rico) or 121bs. (Hawaii) total per acre between planting (or ratooning) and harvest. Treated areas may be planted to sugar cane or pineapple one year after last application. LOUISIANA: Use on plant cane seeded on followed ground. Make a single application of 3 to 3 3/4 Ibs. per acre at either of the following times: FALL TREATMENT (August through October). Treat a 2 ft. band over the row after planting of cane but before weeds or cane emerge. SPRING TREATMENT band over the row before weeds or can emerge. WHEAT (WINTER): Seed bed must be well prepared before pre-emergence application. Crop injury may result if application is made to ground which is cloddy or compacted, resulting in exposed or improperly planted seed. Whenever seed bed preparation and planting are carried out during abnormally dry weather, resulting in a surface layer of dust over planted seeds application should not be made until the dust is settled by rainfall or irrigation. (SEE SOIL LIMITATIONS) Do not use on thinly covered or exposed sub-soil areas (clay knobs) as injury to the crop may result: see Soil Limitations. Treated areas should not be replanted to any other crop within 1 year after last application as injury to the subsequent crop may result. Do not apply post-emergence treatments where winter climatic conditions have caused heaving of wheat plants or after wheat has reached the boat stage as injury to the crop may result. KANSAS, OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS: Make a single post-emergence application at the rate of 1 112 to 2 Ibs. per acre. Apply in the spring as soon as wheat (fall­ planted) starts to grow and before weeds are 2 inches tall. Application later than May 1 may give poor results. WASHINGTON, OREGON AND IDAHO - EAST OF . CASCADE RANGE: Make a single application at the rate of 1 to 1 1/2Ibs. per acre. In areas having an average annual rainfall exceeding 16 inches. FALL TREATMENT - For early fall-planted wheat (seeded before September 10). Apply 3 to 6 weeks after planting but before weeds are 3 to 4 inches tall. Treatment after October 1 has generally given best results. Application should not be made after soil freezes in the fall. Wheat planted in late October should not be treated until the following spring. SPRING TREATMENT - Apply as soon as wheat starts to grow in the spring. Treatment made prior to April 10 will usually give good results. Provided weed growth is less than 4 inches tall. Application later than May 1 may give poor results. In areas having an average annual rainfall from 10 to 16 - inches. FALL OR WINTER TREATMENT - After wheat is planted in the fall apply when sufficient moisture is available to germinate wheat seed. Make application before weeds are 2 inches tall and before the soils freezes. Application later than March 1 may give poor results. NOTE: If fall-planted wheat fails to grow due to winter kill or adverse growing conditions after fall treatment with HELENA BRAND DIURON 80WP only fields treated before November 1 may be replanted to spring wheat. Spring wheat should not be planted before April 1 and only after deep discing and plowing to a depth of 4 to 6 inches prior to planting. Do not retreat field with a second application of HELENA BRAND DIURON 80WP during the same crop year or injury to the crop may result.
