PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals CAUTION: Harmful if swallowed or if absorbed through skin. Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact may cause allergic reactions in certain individuals. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) All mixers, loaders, applicators, flaggers, and other handlers must wear: Long-sleeved shirt and long pants, shoes and socks, chemical-resistant gloves made of barrier laminate, nitrile rubber > 14 mils, neoprene > 14 mils, or viton > 14 mils and chemical-resistant apron when mixing or loading, cleaning up spills or equipment, or otherwise exposed to the concentrate. See engineering controls for additional requirements. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning, maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. ENGINEERING CONTROLS Pilots must use an enclosed cockpit that meets the requirements listed in the WPS for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(6)]. When handlers use enclosed cabs or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Users should: 1) Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet. 2) Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. If pesticide gets on skin, wash immediately with soap and water. 3) Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash waters or rinsate. This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination. Application around a cistern or well may result in contamination of drinking water or groundwater. 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 Toxics Coalition, et. al. v. EPA, C01-0132C, (W.D. WA). For further information, please refer to EPA web site: http://www.epa.gov/espp/litstatus/wtc/index.htm.
MIXING AND LOADING Most cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-D have been associated with mixing/loading and disposal sites. Precautions should be exercised when handling 2,4-D pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of groundwater supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing or 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.
USE INFORMATION DE-ESTER LV4 herbicide is intended for the control of many broadleaf weeds, herbaceous perennials and woody plants susceptible to 2,4-D in grass pastures, certain crops and non-crop areas. Apply this product as water or spray oil during warm weather when weeds or brush are actively growing. Application under drought conditions often will give poor results. Use low spray pressure to minimize drift. On cropland and along roadsides, do not exceed 20 psi pressure. Apply enough spray volume to provide uniform coverage of weeds and brush, usually 5 to 20 gallons per acre by ground equipment and 3 to 5 gallons by aircraft. Higher gallonage may be used if desired to improve spray coverage. Generally, the lower dosage specified
Page 3 of 18
on this label 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 dosage will be needed. Excessive amounts of this herbicide in the soil may temporarily inhibit seed germination or plant growth. Violent wind storms may move soil particles. If 2,4-D is on soil particles and they are blown onto the susceptible plants, visible symptoms may appear. Serious injury is unlikely. The hazard of movement of 2,4- D on dust is reduced if treated fields are irrigated or if rain occurs shortly after application. At high temperatures, vapors from this product may injure susceptible plants growing nearby. Deep-rooted perennial weeds such as Canada thistle and Field bindweed and many woody plants usually require repeated applications for maximum control. Do not apply this product where spray drift may contact nearby susceptible crops or other desirable plants or may contaminate water for irrigation or domestic use. Read and follow all use precautions given on this label. Note: If there are uncertainties concerning special local use situations or specific crop variety tolerances to 2,4-D, consult your State Agricultural Experiment Station or Local Extension Service weed specialist for advice.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, this product is a Group 4 mode of action herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to this product and other Group 4 mode of action herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed.
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: Rotate the use of this product or other Group 4 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field. Use tank mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information on resistance in target weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will control the target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance-prone partner. Consult your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently less prone to resistance. Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or other mechanical control methods), cultural ( e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices. Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a different group or by a mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields, and planting clean seed. If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product, and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available. Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance-management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes. For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Drexel Chemical Company representatives at (901) 774-4370.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part 170. This standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, greenhouses and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exemptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted entry interval (REI). The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the REI of 12 hours. PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil or water is: Coveralls, chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material, and shoes plus socks.
NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries or greenhouses. Do not allow people or pets to enter the treated area until sprays have dried.
USE PRECAUTIONS Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Susceptible Crops and Other Desirable Broadleaf Plants: Avoid contact of 2,4-D with susceptible and other desirable broadleaf crops. Do not apply directly to or otherwise permit even minute amounts to contact Cotton, Grapes, Tobacco, Fruit trees, Vegetables, Flowers, Ornamentals or other desirable plants susceptible to 2,4-D. Do not use in or near a greenhouse. DO NOT APPLY IN THE VICINITY OF COTTON, GRAPES, TOBACCO, TOMATOES OR OTHER DESIRABLE 2,4-D SUSCEPTIBLE CROPS OR PLANTS. DO NOT SPRAY WHEN WIND IS BLOWING TOWARDS SUSCEPTIBLE CROPS OR ORNAMENTAL PLANTS. Application Equipment: Do not apply with hollow cone-type insecticide or other nozzles that produce a fine-droplet spray. To avoid injury to desirable plants, do not handle or apply other agricultural chemicals with the same equipment used for this product unless appropriately cleaned first. Local conditions may affect the use of herbicides. Consult your State Agricultural Experiment Station or Extension Service weed specialists for cleaning methods which are in compliance with local regulations and for advice in selecting treatments from this label to best fit local conditions. Be sure that use of this product conforms to all applicable regulations.
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 appli- cator must evaluate all factors and make appropriate adjustments when applying this product.
Droplet Size: When applying sprays that contain 2,4-D as the sole active ingredient, or when applying sprays that contain 2,4-D mixed with active ingredients that require a coarse or coarser spray, apply only as a coarse or coarser spray (ASAE standard 572) or a volume mean diameter of 385 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles. When applying sprays that contain 2,4-D 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 greater 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 feet 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.
Page 5 of 18
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, Beans, Cotton, Flowers, Grapes (in growing stage), Fruit trees (foliage), Okra, Ornamentals, Soybeans (vegetative state), Sunflowers, Tobacco, Tomatoes, and other Vegetables. Small amounts of spray drift that might not be visible may injure susceptible broadleaf plants. Other State and Local Requirements: Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regarding application of 2,4-D 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 Application: 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. 2,4-D esters may volatize during conditions of low humidity and high temperatures. Do not apply during conditions of low humidity and high temperatures.

Since 2,4-D herbicides are not as effective on the “hybrid” Pigweed, it is necessary to apply higher rates of 2,4-D for control, especially later in the growing season. Higher rates injure some crops, so less than satisfactory Pigweed control may be experienced by the highest tolerated crop dosages. 1In California, do not use this product to control this weed.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS Water Based Spray: Fill the equipment half full of water, agitate while adding this product, then add the rest of water. Water and Soybean Oil or Petroleum Oil Based Spray: First mix this product with the oil, then add to water. If vigorous agitation is possible, the oil can be added last. DO NOT ADD OIL FIRST. Soybean Oil or Petroleum Oil Based Spray: Add this product to straight oil to form a solution. Do not allow water to get into this mixture; if it does, an invert emulsion will form. Use With Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizer: This product may be combined with liquid nitrogen fertilizer suitable for weed and feed applications for Corn, Grasses Grown for Seed, Pastures or Small grains. Use this product in accordance with directions for these crops provided in this label. Use liquid fertilizer at rates recommended by the supplier or Extension Service Specialist. Test for mixing compatibility by mixing spray ingredients in correct proportions in a clear glass jar before mixing in spray tank. A compatibility aid such as MIXTM, Unite or Compex may be needed in some situations. Compatibility is best with liquid fertilizer solutions containing only nitrogen. Mixing with N-P-K solutions may not be satisfactory, even with the addition of a compatibility aid. Premixing this product with 1 to 4 parts water may help in situations when mixing difficulty occurs. Fill the tank about half full with the liquid fertilizer, then add the required amount of this product with agitation. Maintain agitation and complete filling the tank with liquid fertilizer. Apply immediately and continue agitation in spray tank during application. Do not store the spray mixture overnight. Application during very cold weather (near freezing) is not advisable.

TANK MIXTURES This product may be used in combination with other herbicides registered for the same uses on this label. Refer to the label of the tank mixture partner(s) for any additional use instructions or restrictions.
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
USE INSTRUCTIONS Unless otherwise directed, apply the specified rate in minimum 1 gallon of total spray per acre by air and in minimum 3 gallons of total spray per acre by ground. If band treatment is used, base the dosage rate on the actual area to be sprayed. Use more water for both methods when adverse growing conditions are present. DO NOT apply with high spray pressures hollow cone or other nozzle types that produce small spray droplets which may drift. The use of a suitable drift control agent at the proper rate will aid in the reduction of spray drift. When product is used for weed control in crops, the growth stage of the crop must be considered. For crop uses, do not mix with oil or other adjuvants unless specifically directed on the label. To do so may reduce herbicide's selectivity and could result in crop damage. If you are not prepared to accept some degree of crop injury, do not use this product. Crop varieties vary in response to 2,4-D and some are easily injured. Apply this product to varieties known to be tolerant to 2,4-D. If you are uncertain concerning tolerant varieties or local use situations that may affect crop tolerance to 2,4-D, consult your seed company, State Agricultural Extension Service or qualified crop consultant for advice. Use aerial applications only when there is no danger of drift to susceptible crops. Many states have regulations concerning aerial application of 2,4-D formulations. Consult local regulatory authorities before making applications. Although this product is a low volatile formulation, at temperatures above 90oF vapors may damage susceptible crops growing nearby.
CORN (All Corn including Field, Pop, Sweet)
Time of Application Rate per Acre Use Instructions Pre-plant (Annual and Biennial broadleaf seedlings; Perennial weed seedlings; Existing cover crops) 1 to 2.1 pints Planting of Corn must be delayed a minimum of 7 days after application at rates up to 1 pint per acre and a minimum of 14 days at rates from 1 to 2 pints per acre. Planting sooner after application than specified may result in unacceptable crop injury. Do not perform tillage for at least 7 days after application. Do not use on sandy soils or unacceptable crop injury may result. Pre-emergenceand Reduced Tillage (Broadleaf weeds and Annual grasses) 2.1 pints* Apply after Corn is planted but before emergence for control of emerged broadleaf weeds. The seed furrow must be completely closed at application or severe crop injury may result. Do not use on sandy soils or unacceptable crop injury may result. Emergence 1pint Apply in 5 to 30 gallons of water per acre by ground application or in 1 to 5 gallons of water by air just as Corn plants are breaking ground. Post-emergence (Annual broadleaf weeds) 0.5 pint Apply when Corn is less than 8 inches tall but to avoid crop injury, do not apply just after leaves have unfolded. If Corn is over 8 inches tall, use drop nozzles to keep spray off of Corn foliage as much as possible. Post-emergence(Perennial broadleaf weeds) 0.75 to 1pint Apply when weeds are in bud to bloom stage. If Corn is over 8 inches tall, use drop nozzles to keep spray off Corn foliage as much as possible. On Sweet Corn, use the lowest rate only to minimize potential for crop injury.

CEREAL GRAINS (Barley, Oats, Rye, Wheat) NOT UNDERSEEDED WITH LEGUME Use the lower rate for small annual and biennial weeds. Use the higher rate for perennial weeds or hard to kill annual or biennial weeds. Only use the higher rate where heavy weed infestation is a problem and increased risk of crop damage is acceptable.
Crop/Time of Application/Weeds Rate per Acre Use Instructions Barley, Rye, Wheat: Spring Annual and Biennial weeds Perennial broadleaf weeds
0.5 to 2 pints 1 to 2 pints Apply when grain is in full tiller stage (4 to 8 inches high) but before boot stage when weeds are small and actively growing. Up to 2 pints per acre may be used to control difficult weeds but do not use unless some crop damage is acceptable. Rye, Wheat: Winter Annual weeds
0.5 to 2 pints Apply only in the Spring when crop is fully tillered but before grain is in boot stage. For improved control of difficult weeds, apply up to 2 pints per acre. Do not use the higher rate unless some crop damage is acceptable. Oats: Spring-seeded
Fall-seeded (Southern) 0.5 to 0.75 pint
0.75 to 1.5 pints Apply at full tiller but before early boot stage. Difficult to control weeds may require the higher rate but some injury may occur since Oats are less tolerant to 2,4-D than Barley or Wheat. Do not spray during or just after cold weather.
Page 9 of 18
Barley, Oats, Rye, Wheat: Pre-harvest 1 pint Apply when grain is in hard dough stage to control weeds that will interfere with harvest. Apply when soil moisture is adequate for weed growth for best results. Wheat: Perennial weeds (Emergency weed control) 2.5 pints* Apply when weeds are approaching budstage. Do not spray grain in the boot to dough stage. The 2.5 pints per acre application can produce injury to Wheat. Balance the severity of your weed problem against the possibility of crop damage. Where perennial weeds are scattered, spot treatment is suggested to minimize the extent of crop injury. Do not apply this product to grain in the seedling stage.

USE RESTRICTIONS: • Plant only labeled crops within 29 days following application. (See "PLANTING IN TREATED AREAS" below for additional information.) • Limited to 2 applications per year. • Maximum of 4.2 pints (2 Ibs. ae) per acre per application. • Minimum of 30 days between applications. PLANTING IN TREATED AREAS: Labeled Crops:Within 29 days after an application of this product, plant only those crops listed on this label or other registered 2,4-D labels. Follow more specific limitations if any provided in directions for specific crops. Labeled crops may be at risk of crop injury or loss if planted soon after application especially during the first 14 days. Consider the degradation factors stated below 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 factors 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 the product were applied and conditions following application have included warm moist soil conditions that favor rapid breakdown of 2,4-D. Risk is greater if higher rates of the 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 or information about susceptible crops and typical conditions in your area Precautions for Planting Cotton: Following application of this product and following a minimum of rainfall or irrigation in a 24-hour period, wait an interval of 30 days prior to planting Cotton. Failure to observe these precautions may result in crop injury.
