READ EtiTIRE LAIIEL. USE STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE VITI! DANGER STATDIE)iTS AND DIRECTIONS, ~~ WI'" APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS. READ DANGER AND FIRST-AID TREATMENT ON INSIDE FRONT COVER AND WORKER SAnTI RULES. NOTE: Do Not Ua~ Around I/OIDe Cardens, Schools, Recreat"io'ul Parks, or Playgrounds. Always uae a nonionie apreader lurflct"nt Ipproved for uae with food crops and which contain at least 75% aurface active ingredients. Do not use dirty or .uddy water for TOPGUN dilution bec&uae TOPGUN will be inactivated. Do not combine TOPG'JN herbicide with liQuId fer til her loluUons except IS Ipecified below. TOPGUN herbicide and TOPGUN tank mixes uy be applied in liquid nitrogen and/or complete liqUid fertili£er solutions (follow label recommendations for crop involved) when 20 to 60 gals. of dilute solution sre applied per ar.re in combination with 1 to 2 pts. of Spreader (non:<onic) per 100 ga1s. Equipment must be adjusted and calibrated to obtain thorough coverage of undesirable vegetation. Inadequate coverage and/or the absence of Spreader (nonionic) will result in a aevere. reduction of TOPGUN activity. Phoaphte containing l:!qu1d fertilizer lolutions w111 raduce the activity of TOPGUN When liquid fertilizr solutions containing phosphorus are used with TOPGUN and a more rapid kill is desired, use the high TOPGUN label rate. DO NO't· combine with auspension-type liquid fertilizers because the activity of TOPGUN .ill be reduced. PREPLAN! JR PREEMERGENCE USES PREPLANT OR PREffiERGENCE USE - For Kill or EIIlerged AlInuaI Broadleaf Weeds and Gra.ses and for Top Kill and SupDression of Perennials - Apply when the weeds and grasses are succulent and growth is from 1" to 6" high (larger plants are less affected by this treat1llent). Note: To prevent injury to germinating crop seedlings, do not apply preplant or preemergence to 80ils lacking clay min~ral6, i.e., peat, muck, pure aand, artificial planting media.

TOPGUN - 1 CONSERVATION TILLAGE USES

C(lR~: : TOPGUN USED ALONE For control of eXisting vegetation and residual control of annual broadleaf weeds and grasses, broadcast the recommended rate of TOP6VN from the table below in 20 to 60 gallons of water or liquid fertilizer. Always add a nonionic gurfactant at the rtae of 16 fl. oz. per 100 gals of diluted spray. BROADCAST RATE PFR ACRE SOIL TEXTURE Coarse Sand, salr. and loam that is low in organic matter Medium Sorr-containing moderate amounts of clay and organic matter Fine Loam that is high in organic matter and clay (including dark prairie soils of the Corn Belt> Organic Pest much and high-organic clay RATE PER ACRE 5 pints 6 pints 7l.;. pints DO NOT USE

TOPGUII - 2 Tank Nix With COLONEL. This tank mixture should be used for control of emerged annual grass and broadleaf weeds and suppression of emerged perennial weeds and for residual control of many annual Feeds, including carpetweed, crabgras5, fall panicum, foxtail, lambsquarters, morningglory, pigweed, ragweed, and velvetleaf. Apply as a broadcast spray at the rates indica::ed in Table 1, in 20-60 gals. of Hater and/or fluid fertilizer. Add a surfactant (nonionic) at the rate of 16 fl. oz. per 100 gals. of diluted spray.

CroE Almonds and Peaches (California Only) Rate "'0l't;1I", Per Sprayed Acre 2.5-5 pts. in 2-4 ft. band on eacide of tree row. The 2.5 pt. provides residual control of bur­ clover, common chickHeed, wild mustard and sheperds­ purse. Apples 5-10 pints Avocados (California and Florida Only) Pears Sour Cherries (Limited to HO and states east of the Hississippi River except Tennessee.) Walnuts (Califorr.ia Only) Peaches 4-10 pints (Arkansas, Louisiana, a ssouri, Oklahoma, Texas and states East of the Hississippi River) Grapes 5-10 pints (California Only) Orangs (California Only) except Imperial t Coachella acd Palo Verde Valleys (Florida Only) - Bedded 5-10 pints 8 pints TOPGUN - 3 Precautions Do not treat trees estab­ lished less that 3 years. Ilo not treat Hission variety of almonds. Do not apply to almond trees propagated on plum root stalks. Do not replant almonds or peaches in treated soil for 12 months after treatment. Do not apply on gravelly sand or loamy sand soil or on soil with less than 1% organic mattr. Do not treat areas where water will accumulatp. Do not apply to sandy soil. Leveling and furrowing operations after application will lessen effectiveness of weed control. In avocados in Florida, this product also controls balsam-apple vine, rattail amaranth, and at the higher rate, it suppresses coral vine. Do not apply to sanrly or grave lly soil. Do not use in vineyards established less than 3 years. Do not use in nurseries. To avoid possible injury, do not apply to ~es under stress from freeze damage for one year following the freeze. Use the low rate of TOPGUN on coarse textured soils anc' low organic matter soils. Use the hlj(p rate on fine textured Goils and high organic matter soils. Apply TOPGUN in 50 to 200 gals. of water per acre to the orchard floor avoiding contact with fruit, foliage or stems. Add a nonionic spreader at 16 to 32 fl. oz. per 100 gals. diluted spray. Apply when weeds

I UPbU,~ - q and;grasses are succulent and the new growth is from I to 6 inches tall. For band applications or spot applications around trees, reduce the broadcast rate and the amount of water in proportion to the area actually sprayed. Hake only one application per year. Apply in orchards where trees have been e!1tctblished one year or more. Do not spray under windy conditions and use a shield for young trees. vo not apply to almonds and walnuts when nuts are on the ground during the harvest period. Do not allow animals to graze treated areas. ALFALFA (Pure alfalfa at least 12 months old): For improved control of filaree, Jim Hill mustard, and shepherdspurse, b -~uegrass, cheatgrass, chickweed, and tansym'Jstard. Broadcast the recommended rate of TOPGUN from Table 2 in 20-100 gals. of water per acre with ground equipment, or in 5-10 gals. of water per acre aerially. Add a nonionic spreader at 16 to 32 fl. oz. per 100 gals. diluted spray mix. Apply to established alfalfa after the last fall cutting wheil the crop is dormant and before spring growth starts. Apply ~lhen weeds are succulent al,d growth is 1-6 inches tall. The addition of GRAMOXONE SUPER paraquat may be necessary as indicated to obtain adequate emerged weed control.

" TOPGUN - 5 LU!ITATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS: Precautions: To avoid crop injury. (1) Do not apply if regrowth following the last fall cutting is more than 2 inches tall. \ Alfalfa foliage present at application will be burned. (2) Apply once per growing season. - Note: Do not pasture animals in treated fields before first cutting. or illegal residues may result. Do not graze J cut, or harvest within 90 days after application. Apply once per year in the fall after the last cutting but prior to permanently frozen ground conditions. Alfalfa must be growing for at least 12 months before treatm~nt. g6/0S0?86pbll
