Fish breathe dissolved oxygen in the watAd decaying weeds also
use oxygen. When treating continuous, e weed masses, it may
be appropriate to treat only part of the infestation at a time. For
example, apply the product in lanes separated by untreated strips that
can be treated after vegetation in treated lanes has disintegrated.
During the growing season, weeds decompose in a 2- to 3-week
period following treatment. Begin treatment along the shore and
proceed outwards in bands to allow fish to move into untreated areas.
Waters having limited and less dense weed infestations may not
require partial treatments.
Mixing and Loading: Most cases of groundwater contamination
involving phenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-0 have been associate with
mixing/loading and disposal sites. Precaution should be exercised
when handling 2,4-0 pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination
of groundwater supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing and
transferring this pesticide will reduce the probability of spills.
Placement of the mixing/loading equipment on an impervious pad to
contain spills will help prevent groundwater contamination.
Note: Read the entire label. Use only according to label directions.
Before buying or using this product, read the "WARRANTY
CONDITIONS OF SALE" and "USE INFORMATION" sections of

USE INFORMATION
DREXEL AMINE-4 herbicide is intended for selective control of many
broad leaf weeds in forests, non-cropland, non-crop turf areas, and
aquatic areas.
Apply this product as a water or oil-water spray during warm weather
when target weeds or woody plants are actively growing. Application
under drought conditions will often give poor results. Use low spray
pressure to minimize cJA3enerally, the lower dosages specified on
this label will be satisfa for young, succulent growth of susceptible
weed species. For less susceptible species and under conditions
where control is more difficult, use higher specified rates. Deep-rooted
perennial weeds such as Canada thistle and Field bind weed and
many woody plants usually require repeated applications for
satisfactory control. Consult your State Agricultural Experiment
Stations or Extensions Service Specialists for recommendations from
this label that best fit local conditions.
Use of this product in certain portions of California, Oregon and
Washington is subject to the January 22, 2004 Order for injunctive
relief in Washington Toxjes Coalitjon et al V EPA, C01-0132C, (WD.
WA). For further information, please refer to EPA Web Site:
htto:/lwww.epa.gov/espp.
Precautions and Restrictions
Be sure that use of this product conforms to all application regulations.
Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation
system.
Excessive amounts of 2,4-0 in the soil may temporarily inhibit seed
germination and plant growth.
Avoiding Injury to Non-target Plants
Spray drift produced during application is the responsibility of the
applicator and care should be taken to minimize off-target movement
of spray during application. A drift control agent suitable for agricultural
use may be used with this product to aid in reducing spray drift. If used,
follow all use recommendations and precautions on the product label.
Do not apply where drift may be a problem due to proximity to
susceptible crops or other desirable broad leaf plants. Do not
apply this product directly to, or otherwise permit contact with cotton,
flowers, fruit trees, grapes, ornamentals, vegetables, or other desirable
plants which are susceptible to 2,4-0 herbicides. Do not permit spray
mist containing 2,4-0 to contact susceptible plants since even very
small quantities of spray, which may not be visible, can cause severe
injury during both active growth or dormant periods. Do not use in
greenhouses.
Avoid Movement of Treated Soli: Avoid conditions under which soil
from treated areas may be moved or blown to areas containing
susceptible plants. Wind-blown dust containing 2,4-0 may produce
visible symptoms when deposited on susceptible plants, however,
serious plant injury is unlikely. To minimize potential movement of 2,4-
o on wind-blown dust, avoid treatment of powdery dry or light sandy
soils until soil is settled by rainfall or irrigation or irrigate soon after
application.
Do not store or handle other agricultural chemicals with the same
containers used for this product. Do not apply other agricultural
chemicals or pesticides with equipment used to apply this product
unless equipment has been thoroughly cleaned to remove all traces
of 2,4-0.
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) 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 .vLume mean

applications into areas of temperature invA,s 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 (vegetative stage), ornamentals, sunflowers, tomatoes, beans, and other vegetables, or tobacco. Small amounts of spray drift that might not be visible may injure susceptible broad leaf plants. Other State and Local Requirements: Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regarding application of 2,4-0 herbicides. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. Equipment: All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or surrogates. Additional requirements for aerial applications: The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter. Release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight safety. Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. This requirement does not apply to forestry or rights-of-way applications. When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. The applicator must compensate for this by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Additional requirements for ground boom application: Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy. MIXING Mix this product only with water, unless otherwise directed on this label. Add about half the water to the mixing tank, then add this product with agitation, and finally the rest of the water with continuing agitation. Note: Adding oil, wetting agent, or other surfactant to the spray mixture may increase effectiveness on weeds, but also may reduce selectivity to crops resulting in crop damage. Tank Mixing: When tank mixing, read and follow the label of each tank mix product used for precautionary statements, directions for use, weeds controlled and geographic and other restrictions. Use in accordance with the most restrictive of label limitations and precautions. No label dosages should be exceeded. Do not tank mix this product with any product containing a label prohibition against tank mixing with 2,4-0. Tank Mix Compatibility Testing: Ajar test is recommended prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility of this product and other pesticides. Use a clear glass quart jar with lid and mix the tank mix ingredients in their relative proportions. Invert the jar containing the mixture several times and observe the mixture for approximately 30 minutes. If the mixture balls-up, forms flakes, sludges, gels, oily films or layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible and the tank mix combination should not be used. SPRAYER CLEAN-OUT To avoid injury to desirable plants, equipment used to apply this product should be thoroughly cleaned before re-use or applying other chemicals.
- Rinse and flush application equipment thoroughly after use at least three· times with water. Dispose of all rinsewater by application to treatment area or apply to non-cropland area away from water supplies.
- During the second rinse, add one quart of household ammonia for every 25 gallons of water. Circulate the solution through the entire system so that all internal surfaces are contacted (15 to 20 minutes). Let the solution stand for several hours, preferably overnight.
- Flush the solution out of the spray tank through the boom.
- Rinse the system twice with clean water, recirculating and draining each time.
- Remove nozzles and screens and clean separately.
- If equipment is to be used to apply another pesticide or agricultural
chemical to a 2,4-0 susceptible crop, additional steps may be
required to remove all traces of 2,4-0, including cleaning of
disassembled parts and replacement of hoses or other fittings that
may contain absorbed 2,4-0.
APPLICATION _
Apply with calibrated _ ground equipment using sufficient spray
volume to provide adequate coverage of target weeds or as otherwise
directed in specific use directions. For broadcast application, use a
spray volume of 3 or more gallons per acre by air and 10 or more
gallons per acre for ground equipment. Where states have regulations
which specify minimum spray volumes, they should be observed. In
general, spray volume should be increased as crop canopy, height
and weed density increase in order to obtain adequate spray
coverage. Do not apply less than 3 gallons total spray volume per
acre.
Rate Ranges and Application Timing
Generally, the lower dosages given will be satisfactory for young,
succulent growth of sensitive weed species. For less sensitive species
and under conditions where control is more difficult, the higher
dosages will be needed. Apply this product during warm weather when
weeds are young and actively growing.
Spot Treatments
To prevent misapplication, spot treatments should be applied with a
calibrated boom or with hand sprayers using a fixed spray volume per
1000 sq. ft.
Handheld Sprayers: Hand held sprayers may be used for spot
applicatiqn of this product. Care should be taken to apply the spray
uniformly and at a rate equivalent to a broadcast application. Mix the
amount of this product (fl. oz. or ml) corresponding to the desired
broadcast rate in 1 to 3 gallons of spray. To calculate the amount of
this product required for larger areas, multiply the table value (fl. oz.
or ml) by the thousands of sq. ft. to be treated. An area of 1000 sq. ft.
is approximately 10.5 X 10.5 yards (strides) in size.
Band Application: This product may be applied as a band treatment.

RESTRICTIONS - Planting in Treated Areas:
Labeled Crops: Within 29 days after an application of this product, plant only those
crops listed on this or other registered 2,4·0 labels. Follow more stringent
limitations, if any, provided in directions for specific crops. Labeled crop may be at
risk of crop injury or loss if planted soon after application, especially during the first
14 days. Degradation factors described below should be considered in weighing
this risk.
Other Crops: All other crops may be planted 30 or more days after application
without concern for illegal residues in the planted crop. However, under certain
conditions, there may be a risk of injury to susceptible crops. Degradation factor
described below should be considered in weighing this risk. Under normal
conditions, any crop may be planted without risk of injury if at least 90 days of soil
temperatures above freezing have elapsed since application.
Degradation Factors: When planting into treated areas, the risk of crop injury is
less if lower rates of product were applied and conditions following application have
included warm, moist soil conditions that favor rapid breakdown of 2,4-0. Risk is
greater if higher rates of product were applied and soil temperatures have been
cold and/or soils have been excessively wet or dry in the days following application.
Consult your local Agricultural Extension Service for information about susceptible
crops and typical condtions in your area.

SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS: Apply using low pressure spray (10 to 40 psi) in a
spray volume of 20 to 100 gallons per acre using power-operated spray equipment.
Apply when wind speed is low, 5 mph or less. Apply working upstream to avoid
accidental concentration of spray into water. Cross-stream spraying to opposite
banks is not permitted and avoid boom spraying over water surface. When spraying
shoreline weeds, allow no more than 2 foot overspray onto water surface with an
average of less than 1 foot of overspray to prevent significant water contamination.
Apply when weeds are small and growing actively before the bud stage. Apply
when Biennial and Perennial species are in the seedling to rosette stage and before
flower stalks appear. For hard-to·control weeds, a repeat application after 30 days
at the same rate may be needed. Spot treatment is permitted.
For woody species and patches of Perennial weeds, mix 1 gallon of this product
per 64 to 150 gallons of total spray. Wet foliage by applying about 3 to 4 galions of
spray per 1000 sq. ft. (10.5 x 10.5 steps). Spot treatment is permitted.
RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS:
o Do not apply more than 2 treatments per season. Minimum of 30 days between
applications.
o Do not use on small canals (less than 10 cfs) where water will be used for drinking
purposes. CFS may be estimated by using the formula below The approximate
velocity needed for the calculation can be determined by observing the length of
time that it takes a floating object to travel a defined distance. Divide the distance
(ft.) by the time (sec.) to estimate velocity (ft. per sec.). Repeat 3 times and use
the average to calculate CFS.
Average Width (ft.) x Average Depth (fl.) x Average Velocity (ft. per sec.) = CFS
o Do not apply more than 4.2 pints per acre (2 Ibs. acid equivalent) per acre per
application.
o Do not apply more than 8.4 pints per acre per season.
o For ditchbank weeds, do not allow boom spray to be directed onto water surface.
Do not spray across stream to opposite bank.
o For shoreline weeds, allow no more than 2 foot overs pray onto water.

- Water for irrigation or sprays: A. If treated water is intended to be used only for crops of non-crop areas that are labeled for direct treatment with 2,4-D such as Pastures Turf, or Cereal Grains, the treated water may be used to irrigat~ and/or mix sprays for these sites at anytime after the 2,4-D aquatic application. B. Due to potential phytotoxicity considerations, the following restric tions are applicable: If treated water is intended to be used to ir rigate or mix sprays for plants grown in commercial nurseries and greenhouses; and other plants or crops that are not labeled for direct treatment with 2,4-D, the water must not be used unless one of the following restrictions has been observed: i. A setback distance from functional water intake(s) of greater than or equal to 600 feet was used for the application, or, ii. A waiting period of 7 days from the time of application has elapsed, or, iii. An approved assay indicates that the 2,4-D concentration is 100 ppb (0.1 ppm) or less at the water intake. Wait at least 3 days after application before initial sampling at water intake.
- Drinking water (Potable water):
A. Consult with appropriate state or local water authorities before
applying this product to public waters. State or local agencies
may require permits. The potable water use restrictions on this
label are to ensure that consumption of water by the public is al
lowed only when the concentration of 2,4-D in the water is less
than the MCl (Maximum Contaminant level) of 70 ppb. Applica
tors should consider the unique characteristics of the treated wa
ters to assure that 2,4-D concentrations in potable water do not
exceed 70 ppb at the time of consumption.
B. For floating and emergent weed applications, the drinking water
setback distance from functioning potable water intakes is greater
than or equal to 600 feet.
C. If no setback distance of greater than or equal to 600 feet is used
for application, applicators or the authorizing organization must
provide a drinking water notification prior to a 2,4-D application
to the part responsible for public water supply or to individual pri
vate water user. Notification to the party responsible for a public
water supply or to individual private water users must be done in
a manner to assure than the party is aware of the water use re
strictions when this product is applied to potable water.
The following is an example of a notification via posting, but other
methods of notification which convey the above restrictions may
be used and may be required in some cases under state or local
law or as a condition of a permit.
Example:
