SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT: A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind direction, wind speed, temperature, relative humidity), and method of application (e.g;, ground, aerial, airblast, chemigation) can influence pesticide drift. The applicator must evaluate all factors and make appropriate adjustments when applying this product. Droplet Size When applying sprays that contain 2,4-0 as the sole active ingredient, or when applying sprays that contain 2,4-0 mixed with active ingredients that require a Coarse or coarser spray, apply only as a Coarse or coarser spray (ASAE standard 572) or volume mean diameter of 385 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles. When applying sprays that contain 2,4-0 mixed with other active ingredients that require a Medium or more fine spray, apply only as a Medium or coarser spray (ASAE standard 572) or a volume mean. diameter of 300 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles. Wind Speed Do not apply at wind speeds great than 15 mph. Only apply this product if the wind direction favors on-target deposition and there are not sensitive areas (including, but not limited to, residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for nontarget species, nontarget crops) within 250 feed downwind. If applying a Medium spray, leave one swath unsprayed at the downwind edge of the treated field. Temperature Inversions If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must determine if: a) conditions of temperature inversion exist, or b) stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make applications into areas of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric conditions. Susceptible Plants Do not apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. Susceptible crops include, but are not limited to, cotton, okra, flowers, grapes (in growing stage), fruit trees (foliage), soybeans (vegetable stage), ornamentals, Revised storage & disposa127May2010 sunflowers, tomatoes, beans, an'd other vegetables, or tobacco. Small amounts of spray. drift that might not be visible may injure susceptible broad leaf plants.
