GENERAL INFORMATION
DO NOT APPLY THIS PRODUCT USING AERIAL SPRAY EQUIPMENT EX­
CEPT UNDER CONDITIONS AS SPECIFIED WITHIN THIS LABEL.
This product mixes readily with water to be applied as a foliar spray for the con­
trol or destruction of most herbaceous plants. It may be applied through most
standard industrial or field-type sprayers after dilution and thorough mixing with
water in accordance with label instructions.
This product moves through the plant from the pOint of foliage contact to and
into the root system. Visible effects on most annual weeds occur within 2 to 4
days, but on most perennial weeds may not occur for 7 days or more. Extremely
cool or cloudy weather following treatment may slow activity of this product and
delay visible effects of control. Visible effects are a gradual wilting and yellow­
ing of the plant which advances to complete browning of above-ground growth
and deterioration of underground plant parts.
Unless otherwise speCified on this label, delay application until vegetation has
emerged and reached the stages described for control of such vegetation under
the "WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of this label.
Unemerged plants arising from unattached underground rhizomes or root stocks
of perennials will not be affected by the herbicide and will continue to grow. For
this reason, best control of most perennial weeds is obtained when treatment is
made at late growth stages approaching maturity.
Always use the higher rate of this product per acre within the recommended
range when 1) weed growth is heavy or dense, or 2) weeds are growing in an
undisturbed (non-cultivated) area.
Do not treat weeds under poor growing conditions such as drought stress, dis­
ease or insect damage, as reduced weed control may result. Reduced results
may also occur when treating weeds heavily covered with dust.
Reduced control may result when applications are made to annual and peren­
nial weeds that have been mowed, grazed or cut and have not been allowed to
regrow to the recommended stage for treatment.
Rainfall or irrigation occurring within 6 hours after application may reduce ef­
fectiveness. Heavy rainfall or irrigation within 2 hours after application may wash
the chemical off the foliage and a repeat treatment may be required.
This product does not provide residual weed control. For subsequeni residual
weed control, follow a label-approved herbicide program. Read and carefully ob­
serve the cautionary statements and all other information appearing on the la­
bels of all herbicides used.
Buyer and all users are responsible for all loss or damage in connection with
the use or handling of mixtures of this product with herbicides or other materials
that are not expressly recommended in this labeling. Mixing this product with
herbicides or other materials not recommended on this label may result in re­
duced performance.
For best results, spray coverage should be uniform and complete. Do not spray
weed foliage to the point of runoff.
ATTENTION: AVOID DRIFT. EXTREME CARE MUST BE USED WHEN AP­
PLYING THIS PRODUCT TO PREVENT INJURY TO DESIRABLE PLANTS
AND CROPS.
Do not allow the herbicide solution to mist, drip, drift or splash onto desirable
vegetation since minute quantities of this product can cause severe damage or
destruction to the crop, plants or other areas on which treatment was not in­
tended. The likelihood of injury occurring from the use of this product is great­
est when winds are gusty or in excess of 5 miles per hour, or when other
conditions, including lesser wind velocities, will allow spray drift to occur. When
spraying, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in splat­
ter or fine particles (mist), which are likely to drift.
AVOID APPLYING AT EXCESSIVE SPEED OR PRESSURE.
Note: Use of this product in any manner not consistent with this label may re­
sult in injury to persons, animals or crops, or other unintended consequences.
Keep container closed to prevent spills and contamination.
MIXING, ADDITIVES AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
APPLY THESE SPRAY SOLUTIONS IN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND CALI­
BRATED EQUIPMENT CAPABLE OF DELIVERING DESIRED VOLUMES. DO
NOT APPLY WHEN WIND OR OTHER CONDITIONS FAVOR DRIFT. HAND­
GUN APPLICATIONS SHOULD BE PROPERLY DIRECTED TO AVOID SPRAY­
ING DESIRABLE PLANTS.
Note: REDUCED RESULTS MAY OCCUR IF WATER CONTAINING SOIL IS
USED, SUCH AS WATER FROM PONDS AND UNLINED DITCHES.
MIXING
This product mixes readily with water. Mix spray solutions of this product as fol­
lows: Fill the mixing or spray tank with the required amount of water. Add the
recommended amount of this product (see the "DIRECTIONS FOR USE" and
'WEEDS CONTROLLED" sections of this label) near the end of the filling
process and mix well. Remove hose from tank immediately after filling to avoid
siphoning back into the carrier source. During mixing and application, foaming
of the spray solution may occur. To prevent or minimize foam, avoid the use of
mechanical agitators, terminate bypass and return lines at the bottom of the tank
and, if needed, use an approved antifoam or defoaming agent.
TANK MIXTURES
This product may be tankmixed with the products listed, provided the product
tankmixed is registered for use on the listed site.
Always predetermine the compatibility of labeled tank mixtures of this product
with water carrier by mixing small proportional quantities in advance.
Mix labeled tank mixtures of this product with water as follows:
1. Place a 20- to 35-mesh screen or wetting basket over filling port.
2. Through the screen, fill the spray tank one-half full of water and start agita­
tion.
3. If a wettable powder is used, make a slurry with the water carrier and add it
SLOWLY through the screen into the tank. Continue agitation.
4. If a flowable formulation is used, premix one part flowable with one part water.
Add diluted mixture SLOWLY through the screen into the tank. Continue ag­
itation.
5. If an emulsifiable concentrate formulation is used, premix one part emulsifi­
able concentrate with two parts water. Add diluted mixture slowly through the
screen into the tank. Continue agitation.
6. Continue filling the spray tank with water and add the required amount of this
product near the end of the filling process.
7. Where nonionic surfactant is recommended, add this to the spray tank be­
fore completing the filling process.
8. Add individual formulations to the spray tank as follows: wettable powder,
flowable, emulsifiable concentrate, drift control additive, water-soluble liquid
followed by surfactant.
Maintain good agitation at all times until the contents of the tank are sprayed. If
the spray mixture is allowed to settie, thorough agitation is required to resus­
pend the mixture before spraying is resumed. Keep bypass line on or near bot­
tom of the tank to minimize foaming. Screen size in nozzle or line strainers
should be no finer than 50-mesh. Carefully select proper nozzle to avoid spray­
ing a fine mist. For best results with conventional ground application equipment,
use flat fan nozzles. Clean sprayer and parts immediately after using this prod­
uct by thoroughly flushing with water.
ADDITIVES
Surfactants: Nonionic surfactants that are labeled "for use with herbicides" may
be used. Do not reduce rates of this product when adding surfactant. When
adding additional surfactant, use 0.5% surfactant concentration (2 quarts per
100 gallons of spray solution) when using surfactants that contain at least 70%
active ingredient or a 1% surfactant concentration (4 quarts per 100 gallons of
spray solution) for those surfactants containing less than 70% active ingredient.
Read and carefully observe surfactant cautionary statements and other infor­
mation appearing on the surfactant label.
Ammonium Sulfate: The addition of 1 to 2% dry ammonium sulfate by weight
or 8.5 to 17 pounds per 100 gallons of water may increase the performance of
this product and this product plus 2,4-D, Banvel® or residual herbicide tank mix­
tures on annual and perennial weeds. The improvement in performance may be
apparent where environmental stress is a concern. Low quality ammonium sul­
fate may contain material that will not readily dissolve, which could result in noz­
zle tip plugging. To determine quality, perform a jar test by adding 0.33 cup of
ammonium sulfate to 1 gallon of water and agitate for 1 minute. If undissolved
sediment is observed, predissolve the ammonium sulfate in water and filter prior
to addition to the spray tank. If ammonium sulfate is added directly to the spray
tank, add slowly with agitation. Adding too quickly may clog ouCC line. Ensure
that ammonium sulfate is completely dissolvrcd"i'1. t,~~ epray tank bef6'rlO: ~dding

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Avoiding spray at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The
interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determine the po­
tential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for consid­
ering all these factors when making decisions.
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-tar­
get drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These re­
quirements do not apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to
applications using dry formulations.
1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed three­
fourths 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 cov­
ered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information section below.
Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information
Information on Droplet Size
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The
best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide suf­
ficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but
will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable en­
vironmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Tempera­
ture Inversions).
Controlling Droplet Size
Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray vol­
ume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pres­
sures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When
higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of in­
creasing pressure.
Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uni­
form coverage.
Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles 50 that the spray is released parallel
to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the
recommended practice. Significant deflection from 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. Con­
sider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back pro­
duce larger droplets than other nozzle types.
Boom Length
For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than three­
fourths of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing
swath width.
Application Height
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. Mak­
ing applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to
evaporation and wind.
Swath Adjustment
When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced down­
wind. 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 speeds of 2 to 10 mph. However, many factors,
including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given
speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direc­
tion and high inversion potential.
Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be fa­
miliar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray 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 se­
vere when conditions are both hot and dry.
Temperature Inversions
Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift po­
tential 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 dur­
ing inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing tem­
peratures 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, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a
ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves lat­
erally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inver­
sion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good
vertical air mixing.
Sensitive Areas
This pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sen­
sitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened
or endangered species, nontarget crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing
away from the sensitive area).
USE RATE
The maximum use rates stated throughout this product's labeling apply to this
product combined with the use of all other herbicides containing glyphosate or
sulfosate as the active ingredient, whether applied as mixtures or separately.
Calculate the application rates and ensure that the total use of this and other
glyphosate or sulfosate containing products do not exceed stated maximum use
rate.

tion of this label for specific rates. Unless otherwise specified, do not exceed 1
quart per acre. Aerial applications of this product may be made in annual
cropping conventional tillage systems, fallow and reduced-tillage systems,
preharvest, silvicultural sites and rights-of-way. Refer to the individual use
area sections of this label for recommended volumes and application
rates.
Avoid direct application to any body of water.
AVOID DRIFT - DO NOT APPLY DURING LOW-LEVEL INVERSION CONDI­
TIONS, WHEN WINDS ARE GUSTY OR UNDER ANY OTHER CONDITION
WHICH FAVORS DRIFT. DRIFT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO ANY VEGETATION
CONTACTED TO WHICH TREATMENT IS NOT INTENDED. TO PREVENT IN­
JURY TO ADJACENT DESIRABLE VEGETATION, APPROPRIATE BUFFER
ZONES MUST BE MAINTAINED.
Coarse sprays are less likely to drift; therefore, do not use nozzles or nozzle
configurations that dispense spray as fine spray droplets. Do not angle nozzles
forward into the airstream and do not increase spray volume by increasing noz­
zle pressure.
Drift control additives may be used. When a drift control additive is used, read
and carefully observe the cautionary statements and all other information ap­
pearing on the additive label.
Ensure uniform application - To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped ap­
plication, use appropriate marking devices.
Thoroughly wash aircraft, especially landing gear, after each day of spraying to
remove residues of this product accumulated during spraying or from spills.
PROLONGED EXPOSURE OF THIS PRODUCT TO UNCOATED STEEL SUR­
FACES MAY RESULT IN CORROSION AND POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE
PART. LANDING GEAR ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE. The maintenance of an
organic coating (paint), which meets aerospace specification MIL-C-38413, may
prevent corrosion.
THIS PRODUCT PLUS OUS~, BANVEL OR 2,4-D TANK MIXTURES MAY
NOT BE APPLIED BY AIR IN CA.
BROADCAST EQUIPMENT
For control of annual or perennial weeds listed on this label using broad­
cast equipment - Use the recommended rates of this product in 3 to 40 gal­
lons of water per acre as a broadcast spray unless otherwise specified on this
la bel. See the 'WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of this label for specific rates.
As density of weeds increases, spray volume should be incre()~~j wit~;n the

For the control of labeled annual weeds with handheld CDA units, apply a 20%
solution of this product at a flow rate of 2 fluid ounces per minute and a walking
speed of 1.5 MPH (1 quart per acre). Forthe control of labeled perennial weeds,
apply a 20 to 40% solution of this product at a flow rate of 2 fluid ounces per
minute and a walking speed of 0.75 MPH (2 to 4 quarts per acre).
Controlled droplet application equipment produces a spray pattern that is not
easily visible. Extreme care should be exercised to avoid spray or drift contact­
ing the foliage or any other green tissue of desirable vegetation, as damage or
destruction may result.
HANDHELD AND HIGH-VOLUME EQUIPMENT
Use coarse sprays only. Mix this product in clean water and apply to foliage of
vegetation to be controlled. For applications made on a spray-to-wet basis, spray
coverage should be uniform and complete. Do not spray to the point of runoff.
For control of annual weeds listed on this label, apply a 0.5% solution of this
product plus nonionic surfactant to weeds less than 6 inches in height or runner
length. Apply prior to seed-head formation in grass or bud formation in broad leaf
weeds. Allow 3 or more days before tillage or mowing.
For annual weeds over 6 inches tall, or when not using additional surfactant, or
unless otherwise specified, use a 1 % solution. For best results, use a 2% solu­
tion on harder-to-control perennials, such as Bermudagrass, Canada thistle,
Dock, Field bindweed, Hemp dogbane and Milkweed.
When using application methods that result in less than complete coverage, use
a 5% solution for annual and perennial weeds and a 5 to 10% solution for woody
brush and trees.
Prepare the desired volume of spray solution by mixing the amount of this prod­
uct in water as shown in the following table:

lution.
SELECTIVE EQUIPMENT
This product may be applied through a recirculating spray system, a shielded ap­
plicator or a wiper applicator after dilution and thorough mixing with water to
listed weeds growing in any noncrop site specified on this label and only when
specifically recommended in cropping systems.
A recirculating spray system directs the spray solution onto weeds growing
above desirable vegetation, while spray solution not intercepted by weeds is col­
lected and returned to the spray tank for reuse.
A shielded applicator directs the herbicide solution onto weeds, while shielding
desirable vegetation from the herbicide.
A wiper applicator applies the herbicide solution onto weeds by rubbing the weed
with an absorbent material containing the herbicide solution.
AVOID CONTACT WITH DESIRABLE VEGETATION.
Contact of the herbicide solution with desirable vegetation may result in damage
or destruction. Applicators using above desired vegetation should be adjusted so
that the lowest spray stream or wiper contact point is at least 2 inches above the
desirable vegetation. Droplets, mist, foam or splatter of the herbicide solution
settling on desirable vegetation may result in discoloration, stunting or destruc­
tion.
Applications made above the crops should be made when the weeds are a min­
imum of 6 inches above the desirable vegetation. Better results may be obtained
when more of the weed is exposed to the herbicide solution. Weeds not con­
tacted by the herbicide solution will not be affected. This may occur in dense
clumps, severe infestations or when the height of the weeds varies so that not
all weeds are contacted. In these instances, repeat treatments may be neces­
sary.
Shielded Applicators
When applied as directed under conditions described for shielded applicators,
this product will control those weeds listed in the "WEEDS CONTROLLED" sec­
tion of this label.
Use the following equation to convert from a broadcast rate per acre to a band
rate per acre:

Use nozzles that provide uniform coverage within the treated area. Keep shields
on shielded sprayers adjusted to protect desirable vegetation. EXTREME CARE
MUST BE EXERCISED TO AVOID CONTACT WITH DESIRABLE VEGETA­
TION.
For specific rates of application and instructions for control of various annual weeds
and perennial weeds, see the 'WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of this label.
Wiper Applicators
Wiper applicators are devices that physically wipe appropriate amounts of this
product directly onto the weed.
Equipment must be designed, maintained and operated to prevent the herbicide
solution from contacting desirable vegetation. Operate this equipment at ground
speeds no greater than 5 mph. Performance may be improved by reducing
speed in areas of heavy weed infestations to ensure adequate wiper saturation.
Better results may be obtained if 2 applications are made in opposite directions.
Avoid leakage or dripping onto desirable vegetation. Adjust height of applicator
to ensure adequate contact with weeds. Keep wiping surfaces clean. Be aware
that, on sloping ground, the herbicide solution may migrate causing dripping on
the lower end and drying of the wicks on the upper end of a wiper applicator.
Do not use wiper equipment when weeds are wet.
Mix only the amount of solution to be used during a 1-day period, as reduced ac­
tivity may result from use of leftover solutions. Clean wiper parts immediately
after using this product by thoroughly flushing with water.
Do not add surfactant to the herbicide solution.
For rope or sponge wick applicators - Mix 1 gallon of this product in 2 gal­
lons of water to prepare a 33% solution. Apply this solution to weeds listed in this
"Wiper Applicators" section.
For porous-plastic applicators - Solutions ranging from 33% to 100% of this
product in water may be used in porous-plastic wiper applicators.

See "DIRECTIONS FOR USE" and "MIXING, ADDITIVES AND APPLICATION
INSTRUCTIONS" sections of this label for labeled uses and specific application
instructions.
Alfalfa - Apply 1 quart of this product per acre plus 0.5 to 1 % nonionic sur­
factant by total spray volume in 3 to 10 gallons of water per acre. Make appli­
cation after the last hay cutting in the Fall. Allow Alfalfa to regrow to a height of
6 to 8 inches or more prior to treatment. Application should be followed with deep
tillage at least 7 days after treatment, but before soil freeze-up.
Alligatorweed - Apply 4 quarts of this product per acre or apply a 1.5% solu­
tion with handheld equipment to provide partial control. Apply when most of the
plants are in bloom. Repeat applications will be required to maintain such con­
trol.
Anise (Fennel), Poison hemlock - Apply a 1 to 2% solution ofthis product as
a spray-to-wet treatment. Optimum results are obtained when plants are treated
at the bud to full-bloom stage of growth. Repeat applications may be needed in
succeeding years to control plants arising from seeds.
Bentgrass - For suppression in grass seed production areas. For ground ap­
plications only, apply 1.5 quarts of this product plus 0.5 to 1% nonionic surfac­
tant by total spray volume in 10 to 20 gallons of water per acre. Ensure entire
crown area has resumed growth prior to Fall applications. Bentgrass should be
actively growing and have at least 3 inches of growth. Tillage prior to treatment
should be avoided. Tillage 7 to 10 days after application is recommended for
best results. Failure to use tillage after treatment may result in unacceptable
control.
Bermudagrass - For control, apply 5 quarts of this product per acre. For par­
tial control, apply 3 quarts per acre. Treat when Bermudagrass is actively grow­
ing and seed heads are present. Retreatment may be necessary to maintain
control. Allow 7 or more days after application before tillage.
Bermudagrass, water (Knotgrass) - Apply 1.5 quarts of this product plus 0.5
to 1 % nonionic surfactant by total spray volume in 5 to 10 gallons of water per
acre. Apply when Water bermudagrass is actively growing and 12 to 18 inches
in length. Allow 7 or more days before tilling, flushing or flooding the field.

Fall applications only -Apply 1 quart of this product plus 0.5 to 1% nonionic sur­
factant by total spray volume in 5 to 10 gallons of water per acre. Fallow fields
should be tilled prior to application. Apply prior to frost on Water bermudagrass
that is actively growing and 12 to 18 inches in length. Allow 7 or more days be­
fore tillage.
Bindweed (Field) - For control, apply 4 to 5 quarts of this product per acre
West of the Mississippi River and 3 to 4 quarts East of the Mississippi River.
Apply when the weeds are actively growing and are at or beyond full bloom. Do
not treat when weed is under drought stress as good soil moisture is necessary
for active growth. For best results, apply in late Summer or Fall. Fall treatments
must be applied before a killing frost. Allow 7 or more days after application be­
fore tillage.
Also for control, apply 2 quarts of this product plus 0.5 pound active ingredient
of Banvel in 10 to 20 gallons of water per acre. At these rates, apply using ground
application only.
The following tank mixtures with 2,4-0 may be applied using aerial application
equipment (except in CAl in fallow and reduced tillage systems only.
For suppression on irrigated agricultural land, apply 1 to 2 quarts of this product
plus 1 pound active ingredient of 2,4-0 in 10 to 20 gallons of water per acre with
ground equipment only. Applications should be made following harvest or in Fall
fallow ground when the Bindweed is actively growing and the majority of runners
are 12 inches or more in length. The use of at least one irrigation will promote
active Bindweed growth.
For suppression, apply 16 fluid ounces of this product plus 0.5 pound active in­
gredient of 2,4-0 plus 0.5 to 1 % nonionic surfactant by total spray volume in 3
to 10 gallons of water per acre for ground applications and 3 to 5 gallons of water
per acre for aerial applications. Applications should be delayed until maximum
emergence has occurred and when vines are between 6 to 18 inches in length.
In CA only, apply 1 to 5 quarts of this product per acre. Actual rate needed for
suppression or control will vary within this range depending on local conditions.
For suppression on irrigated land where annual tillage is performed, apply 1
quart of this product plus 0.5 to 1 % non ionic surfactant by total spray volume in
3 to 10 gallons of water per acre. Apply to actively growing Bindweed that has
reached a length of 12 inches or greater. Allow maximum weed emergence and
runner growth. Do not treat when weeds are under drought stress as good soil
moisture is necessary for active growth. Allow 3 or more days after application
before tillage.
Bluegrass (Kentucky), Bromegrass (Smooth), Orchardgrass - Apply 2
quarts of this product in 10 to 40 gallons of water per acre when the grasses are
actively growing and most plants have reached boot-to-early seed head stage
of development. For partial control in pasture or hay crop renovation, apply 1 to
1.5 quarts of this product plus 0.5 to 1 % nonionic surfactant by total spray vol­
ume in 3 to 10 gallons of water per acre. Apply to actively growing plants when
most have reached 4 to 12 inches in height. Allow 7 or more days after applica­
tion before tillage.
Orchardgrass (sods going to no-till Corn) - Apply 1 to 1.5 quarts of this
product per acre plus 0.5 to 1% nonionic surfactant by total spray volume in 3
to 10 gallons of water per acre. Apply to Orchardgrass that is a minimum of 12
inches tall for Spring applications and 6 inches tall for Fall applications. Allow at
least 3 days following application before planting. A sequential application of
atrazine will be necessary for optimum results.
Blueweed (Texas) -Apply 4 to 5 quarts of this product West of the Mississippi
River and 3 to 4 quarts per acre East of the Mississippi River. Apply when weed
is actively growing and is at or beyond full bloom. Do not treat when weed is
under drought stress as good soil moisture is necessary for active growth. New
leaf development indicates active growth. For best results, apply in late Summer
or Fall. Fall treatments must be applied before a killing frost. Allow 7 or more
days after application before tillage.
Brackenfern - Apply 3 to 4 quarts of this product per acre as a broadcast spray
or as a 1 to 1.5% solution with handheld equipment. Apply to fully expanded
fronds which are at least 18 inches long.

IMITATOR XTRA Page 8 of 28
Note: If brush has been mowed or tilled or trees have been cut, do not treat until
regrowth has reached the recommended stages of growth.
Apply this product when plants are actively growing and, unless otherwise di­
rected, after full leaf expansion. Use the higher rate for larger plants andlor
dense areas of growth. On vines, use the higher rate for plants that have
reached the woody stage of growth. Best results are obtained when application
is made in the late Summer or Fall after fruit formation.
In arid areas, best results are obtained when application is made in the Spring
to early Summer when brush species are at high moisture content and are fiow­
ering.
Ensure thorough coverage when using handheld equipment. Symptoms may
not appear prior to frost or senescence with Fall treatments.
Allow 7 or more days after application before tillage, mowing or removal. Re­
peat treatments may be necessary to control plants regenerating from under­
ground parts or seed. Some autumn colors on undesirable deciduous species
are acceptable provided no major leaf drop has occurred. Reduced perform­
ance may result if Fall treatments are made following a frost.

etation. Care must be exercised to avoid contact of spray, drift or mist with fo­
liage or green bark of desirable species.
Conifer Release
For release, apply only where Conifers have been established for more than
one year. Vegetation should not be disturbed prior to treatment or until visible
symptoms appear after treatment. Symptoms of treatment are slow to appear,
especially in woody species treated in late Fall. Injury may occur to Conifers
treated for release, especially where spray patterns overlap or the higher rates
are applied or when applications are made during periods of active Conifer
growth. Do not use additional surfactant with Conifer release applications.
Applications must be made after formation of final conifer resting buds in the
Fall or prior to initial bud swelling in Spring. Some autumn colors on undesirable
deciduous species are acceptable provided no major leaf drop has occurred.
Use the following rates for Conifer release to control or partially control the
weeds listed in the "WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of this label.

species are located in or immediately adjacent to the area to be treated.
CUT STUMP TREATMENTS
Woody vegetation may be controlled by treating freshly cut stumps of trees and
resprouts with this product. Apply this product using suitable equipment to en­
sure coverage of the entire cambium. Cut vegetation close to the soil surface.
Apply a 50 to 100% solution of this product to the freshly cut surface immediately
after cutting. Delays in application may result in reduced performance. For best
results, application should be made during periods of active growth and full leaf
expansion.
When used according to directions for cut stump application, this product will
CONTROL, PARTIALLY CONTROL or SUPPRESS many types of woody brush
and tree species, some of which are listed below:
Alder
Alnusspp.
Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus spp.
Madrone
Arbutus menziesii
Oak
Quercus spp.
Reed, Giant
Arundo donax
Saltcedar
Tamarix spp.
Sweetgum
Liquidambar styraciflua
Tan oak
Lithocarpus densiflorus
Willow
Salixspp.
INJECTION AND FRILL APPLICATIONS
Woody vegetation may be controlled by injection or frill application of this prod­
uct. Apply this product using suitable equipment that must penetrate into living
tissue. Apply the equivalent of 1 milliliter of this product per each 2 to 3 inches
of trunk diameter (DBH). This is best achieved by applying a 50 to 100% con­
centration of this material either to a continuous frill around the tree or as cuts
evenly spaced around the tree below all branches. As tree diameter increases
in size, better results are achieved by applying diluted material to a continuous
frill or more closely spaced cuttings. Avoid application techniques that allow
runoff to occur from frill or cut areas in species that exude sap freely after frills
or cutting. In species such as this, make frill or cut at an oblique angle so as to
produce a cupping effect and use undiluted material. For best results, applica­
tion should be made during periods of active growth and after full leaf expansion.
This treatment WI LL CONTROL the following woody species:
Oak Sweetgum
Quercus spp. Liquidambar styraciflua
Poplar Sycamore
Populus spp. Platanus occidentalis

TURFGRASSES AND GRASSES FOR SEED PRODUCTION
Pre plant and Renovation
When applied as directed for "NONCROP USES", under conditions described,
this product controls most existing vegetation prior to the planting and renovation
of either Turfgrasses or grass seed production areas. For specific rates of
application and instructions for control of various annual and perennial weeds
and woody brush and trees, see the 'WEEDS CONTROLLED' section of this
label. For maximum control of existing vegetation, delay planting to determine if
any regrowth from escaped underground plant parts occurs. Where repeat
treatments are necessary, sufficient regrowth must be attained prior to
application. For warm-season grasses, such as Bermudagrass, Summer or Fall
applications provide best control.
DO NOT DISTURB SOIL OR UNDERGROUND PLANT PARTS BEFORE
TREATMENT. Tillage or renovation techniques such as vertical mowing, coring
or slicing should be delayed for 7 days after application to allow proper
translocation into underground plant parts.
Turfgrasses: Where existing vegetation is growing in a field or unmowed
situation, apply this product to actively growing weeds at the stages of growth
listed in the "WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of this label. Where existing
vegetation is growing under mowed Turfgrass management, apply this product
after omitting at least one regular mowing to allow sufficient growth for good
interception of the spray. Desirable Turfgrasses may be planted following the
above procedure.
Gras$e$ for Seed Production: Apply this product to actively growing weeds at
the stages of growth recommended in the WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of
this label prior to planting or renovation of Turf or Forage grass areas grown for
seed production. DO NOT feed or graze treated areas within 8 weeks after
application.
Annual Weed Control in Dormant Bennudagrass and Bahiagrass Turf
When applied as directed for "NONCROP USES" under the conditions described,
this product will provide control or suppression of many Winter annual weeds and
Tall fescue for effective release of dormant Bermudagrass and Bahiagrass turf.
Refer to the rate table 'Weeds Controlled or Suppressed with This Product Alone"
under the "RELEASE OF BERMUDA GRASS OR BAHIA GRASS" section of this
label for recommended rates and volumes on the species to be suppressed or
controlled. Treat only when turf is dormant and prior to Spring greenup. Spot
treatments or broadcast applications of this product in excess of 16 fluid ounces
per acre may result in injury or delayed greenup in highly maintained Turfgrass
areas; i.e., golf courses, lawns, etc. DO NOT APPLY TANK MIXTURES of this
product plus Oust in highly maintained Turfgrass areas.
RELEASE OF BERMUDAGRASS OR BAHIAGRASS
Note: Use only in areas where Bermudagrass or Bahiagrass are desirable
ground covers and where some temporary injury or discoloration can be
tolerated. Use tank mixtures of this product plus Oust only on railroads,
highways, utility plant sites or other rights-ol-way areas.
When applied as directed lor "NONCROP USES" under the conditions described,
this product will provide control or suppression of many Winter annual weeds and
Tall fescue lor effective release 01 dormant Bermudagrass or Bahiagrass. This
product may be tankmixed with Oust as recommended for residual control. Make
applications to dormant Bermudagrass or Bahiagrass. Tank mixtures of this
product plus Oust may delay greenup. To avoid delays in greenup and minimize
injury, do not add more than 1 ounce per acre of Oust on Bermudagrass or more
than 0.5 ounce per acre on Bahiagrass, or treat when these grasses are in a
semi-dormant condition.
For best results on Winter annuals, treat when plants are in an early growth
stage (below 6 inches in height) after most have germinated. For best results on
Tall fescue, treat when Fescue is in or beyond the 4- to 6-leaf stage.

ROUNDUP READY' CROPS
DREXEL CHEMICAL COMPANY RECOMMENDS USE OF THIS PRODUCT
FOR POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATION ONLY ON CROP VARIETIES DES­
IGNATED AS CONTAINING THE ROUNDUP READY GENE.
The following instructions include all applications which can be made onto
Roundup Ready crops during the complete cropping season.
DO NOT combine these instructions with other recommendations made for crop
varieties which do not contain the Roundup Ready gene, in the "CROPPING
SYSTEMS" section of this label.
Applying this product to crop varieties that are not designated as Roundup
Ready will result in severe crop injury and yield loss. Avoid contact with foliage,
green stems, or fruit of crops, or any desirable plants that do not contain the
Roundup Ready gene, since severe injury or destruction will result.
NOTE: The following recommendations are based on a clean start at planting by
using a burndown application or tillage to control existing weeds before crop
emergence. In no-till and stale seedbed systems, a preplant burndown treat­
ment of this product is recommended to control existing weeds prior to crop
emergence. Some weeds, such as Black nightshade, broadleaf Signalgrass,
Sicklepod, Texas panicum, Sandbur, annual Morningglory, Woolly cupgrass,
Shattercane, Wild proso millet, Burcucumber, and Giant ragweed with multiple
germination times or suppressed (stunted) weeds may require a second appli­
cation of this product for complete control. The second application should be
made after some regrowth has occurred and at least 10 days after a previous ap­
plication of this product.

Over-the-top Applications
Broadcast applications of this product may be made using ground or aerial
equipment in-<:rop on Roundup Ready Alfalfa from emergence through the late
vegetative stage. Do not make broadcast applications of this product between
the initiation of Alfalfa budding and the harvest of seed. Any single over-the-top
broadcast application of this product should not exceed 2 quarts per acre. Se­
quential applications of this product should be at least 7 days apart.
Due to the biology and breeding constraints of Alfalfa, up to 10% of the seedlings
may not contain the Roundup Ready gene and will not survive or thrive after the
first application of this product. To limit undesirable effects of stand gaps cre­
ated by the loss of plants not containing the Roundup Ready gene, a single ap­
plication of at least 1 quart per acre of this product should be applied at or before
the 3 to 4 trifoliate growth stage.
Spot Treatment After Late Vegetative Stage
For late emerging weeds, this product may be applied as a spot treatment in
Roundup Ready Alfalfa grown for seed, during the early bud stage through seed
harvest. Applications made during this stage may result in reduced seed yield
and quality and are the responsibility of the grower. Make applications on a
spray-to-wet basis. Do not spray to the point of runoff. If a spot treatment is made
after the late vegetative stage, harvested seed must not be used for Alfalfa
sprout production.
Postharvest Applications
Following harvest of Roundup Ready Alfalfa seed, the stand may be managed
for forage and hay production. Refer to the below section on "WEED CONTROL
APPLICATIONS IN FORAGE AND HAY PRODUCTION OF ALFALFA WITH
THE ROUNDUP READY GENE".
Weeds Controlled
For specific rates of application and instructions for control of various annual
and perennial weeds, refer to the 'WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of this label.
Some weeds with multiple germination times or suppressed (stunted) weeds
may require a second application of this product for complete control. The sec­
ond application should be made after some regrowth of weeds has occurred.
In addition to those weeds listed in this label, this product will suppress or con­
trol the parasitic weed, Dodder (Cuscuta spp.) in Roundup Ready Alfalfa seed
production. Repeat applications may be necessary for complete control.
Tank mixtures with other herbicides, insecticides, or fungicides may result in
crop injury or reduced weed control and are NOT recommended for over-the-top
applications of this product.
During stand establishment, for applications made prior to the 4-trifoliate growth
stage, the use of ammonium sulfate may result in crop injury and is not recom­
mended. Refer to the "ADDITIVES" section of this label for use instructions for
ammonium sulfate.
PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS: Do not make over-the-top broadcast
applications of this product between the initiation of Alfalfa budding and the har­
vest of Roundup Ready Alfalfa seed. If a spot treatment of this product is made
after the late vegetative stage, do not use harvested Roundup Ready Alfalfa

MENT IS NOT INTENDED. TO PREVENT INJURY TO ADJACENT DESIRABLE
VEGETATION, APPROPRIATE BUFFER ZONES MUST BE MAINTAINED.
Do not allow the herbicide solution to mist, drip, drift or splash onto desirable
vegetation since minute quantities of this product can cause severe damage or
destruction to the crop, plants or other areas on which treatment was not in­
tended. The likelihood of injury occurring from the use of this product increases
when winds are gusty, as wind velocity increases, when wind direction is con­
stantly changing or when there are other meteorological conditions that favor
spray drift. When spraying, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that
will result in splatter or fine particles (mist) which are likely to drift. AVOID AP­
PLYING AT EXCESSIVE SPEED OR PRESSURE.
Coarse sprays are less likely to drift; therefore, do not use nozzles or nozzle
configurations which dispense spray as fine spray droplets. Do not angle noz­
zles forward into the airstream and do not increase spray volume by increasing
nozzle pressure.
There are no rotational crop restrictions following applications of this product.
Sprayer Preparation
It is important that sprayer and mixing equipment be clean and free of pesticide
residue before making applications of this product to Roundup Ready Canola.

Spray equipment preparation: It is important that sprayer and mixing equip­
ment be clean and free of pesticide residue before making application of this
product to Roundup Ready Cotton. Follow the cleaning procedures specified on
the label of the product(s) previously used. Cotton is very sensitive to many her­
bicides at extremely low concentrations and care should be taken to thoroughly
clean £!II equipment prior to use of this product.
In addition to uses listed, the following applications can be made:
Over-the-top applications: This product may be applied by aerial or ground
application equipment postemergence to Roundup Ready Cotton from the
ground cracking stage until the 4-leaf (node) stage of development (until the 5th
true-leaf reaches the size of a quarter). Over-the-top applications made after the
4-leaf (node) stage of development may result in boll loss, delayed maturity
and/or yield loss. Any single over-the-top broadcast application should not ex­
ceed 1 quart per acre. No more than 2 over-the-top broadcast applications may
be made from crop emergence through the 4-leaf (node) stage of development.
Sequential over-the-top applications of this product must be at least 10 days
apart and Cotton must have at least 2 nodes of incremental growth between ap­
plications.
Note: Always plant into a weedfree seedbed. In no-till and stale seedbed sys­
tems always burn down existing weeds before Cotton emerges. Apply a pre­
plant burndown treatment of 16 to 48 fluid ounces per acre of this product.
IMITATOR XTRA Page 22 of 28
ZS/&I
Postdirected or hooded applications: This product may be applied using pre­
cision postdirected or hooded sprayers to Roundup Ready Cotton through lay-by.
At this stage, postdirected equipment should be used which directs the spray to
the base of the Cotton plants. Contact of the spray with Cotton leaves should be
avoided to the maximum extent possible. To minimize spray onto the leaves of the
Cotton plants, place nozzles in a low position directing a horizontal spray pattern
under the Cotton leaves to contact the weeds in the row, and maintain low spray
pressure (less than 30 psi). For best results make applications while weeds are
small (less than 3 inches). Applications that contact the Cotton leaves may result
in boll loss, delayed maturity and/or yield loss. Any single postdirected applica­
tion should not exceed 1 quart per acre of this product. No more than two appli­
cations should be made from the 5-leaf stage through lay-by. Sequential in-crop
applications of this product must be at least 10 days apart and Cotton must have
at least two nodes of incremental growth between applications.
ATTENTION: Use of this product in accordance with label directions is ex­
pected to result in normal growth of Roundup Ready Cotton, however, var­
ious environmental conditions, agronomic praCtices and other factors
make it impossible to eliminate all risks associated with the use of this
product, even when applications are made in conformance with the label
specifications. In some cases, these factors can result in boll loss, delayed
maturity and/or yield loss.
Salvage treatment: This treatment may be used after the 4-leaf stage of de­
velopment and should only be used where weeds threaten to cause the loss of
the crop. One quart per acre may be applied either as an over-the-top applica­
tion or as a postdirected treatment sprayed higher on the Cotton plants and over
the weeds.
Note: Salvage treatments will result in significant boll loss, delayed maturity
and/or yield 1055. No more than one salvage treatment should be used per
growing season.
Weeds controlled: For specific rates of application and instructions for control
of various annual and perennial weeds, refer to the "Annual Weeds" section.
This product, applied at 1-quart rate per acre will burndown or suppress the
growth of the following perennial weeds and reduce crop competition:
Yellow and Purple nutsedge
Common bermudagrass
Trumpetcreeper
Rhizome johnsongrass
Silverleaf nightshade
Redvine
Fall pre harvest application may be required for control of these perennial weeds.
Tank mixtures with other herbicides may result in reduced weed control or crop
injury and are nqt recommended for over-the-top applications with this product.
Some weeds with multiple germination times or suppressed (stunted) weeds,
may require sequential applications of this product for control.
Preharvest applications: This product may be applied for preharvest annual
and perennial weed control as a broadcast treatment to Roundup Ready Cotton
after 20% boll crack. Allow a minimum of 7 days between application and har­
vest. THE USE OF ADDITIVES FOR PRE HARVEST APPLICATION TO
ROUNDUP READY COTTON IS PROHIBITED.

this product may be necessary to control late flushes of weeds. IN THE SOUTH­
ERN STATES, A SEQUENTIAL APPLICATION OF THIS PRODUCT WILL BE
REQUIRED TO CONTROL NEW FLUSHES OF WEEDS IN THE ROUNDUP
READY SOYBEAN CROP. To control Giant ragweed, it is recommended that 1
quart per acre of this product be applied when the weed is 8 to 12 inches tall to
increase control and possible avoid the need for a sequential application.
PRECAUTIONS, RESTRICTIONS: The combined total application from crop
emergence through harvest must not exceed 3 quarts per acre. The maximum
rate for any single in-crop application is 2 quarts per acre. The maximum com­
bined total of this product that can be applied during flowering is 2 quarts per
acre. Allow a minimum of 14 days between application and harvest of Soybeans.
Preharvest
USE INSTRUCTIONS: This product provides weed control when applied prior to
harvest of Soybeans. Up to 1 quart per acre of this product can be applied by
aerial or ground application.
Maximum amount of this product which can be applied after loss of green color
in Soybean pods until 14 days before harvest is 1 quart per acre by aerial or
ground application. The maximum for any single in-crop application is 2 quarts
per acre. The maximum combined total of this product which can be applied dur­
ing flowering is 2 quarts per acre.
PRECAUTIONS, RESTRICTIONS: Care should be taken to avoid excessive
seed shatter loss due to ground application equipment. Allow a minimum of 14
days between final application and harvest of Soybean grain or feeding of Soy­
bean grain, forage or hay.
Postharvest
USE INSTRUCTIONS: This product may be applied after harvest of Roundup
Ready Soybeans. Higher rates may be required for control of large weeds which
were growing in the crop at the time of harvest. Tank mixtures with 2,4-0 or
dicamba may be used.
Cropping Season
Combined total for the year for all applications of this product may not exceed 8
quarts per acre.
When used as directed, this product will control annual grasses and broadleaf
weeds listed in Roundup Ready Soybeans. Many perennial grasses and
broadleaf weeds will be controlled or suppressed with 1 or more applications of
this product.
There are no rotational crop restrictions following applications of this product.
Ground Application
Use the recommended rates of this product in 5 to 20 gallons of spray solution
per acre as a broadcast spray ... Carefully select proper nozzle and spray pressure
to avoid spraying a fine mist. For best results with ground application equipment,
use nozzles which provide a flat fan pattern. Check for even distribution of spray
droplets.
Aerial Application
Use the recommended rates of this product in 3 to 15 gallons of water per acre.
Do not exceed 1 quart of this product per acre. DO NOT APPLY DURING LOW­
LEVEL INVERSION CONDITIONS WHEN WINDS ARE GUSTY OR UNDER
ANY OTHER CONDITIONS WHICH FAVOR DRIFT. DRIFT MAY CAUSE DAM­
AGE TO ANY VEGETATION CONTACTED TO WHICH TREATMENT IS NOT
INTENDED. TO PREVENT INJURY TO ADJACENT DESIRABLE VEGETA­
TION, APPROPRIATE BUFFER ZONES MUST BE MAINTAINED.
Rates for Annual Weeds
The following recommended rates will provide control of annual grasses and
broadleaf weeds listed in conventional and no-till Soybean production systems.
Refer to the "ANNUAL WEEDS" section of this label for rate recommendations
for specific annual weeds.
Tank mixtures with other herbicides are not recommended due to the potential
for crop injury andlor weed antagonism, and to rotational crop restrictions of the
tankmixed partner.
This product may be used at a rate of up to 64 fiuid ounces (2 quarts) per acre
in any single application for control of annual weeds where heavy weed densi­
ties exist. The maximum combined total of this product which can be applied
during flowering is 2 quarts per acre.
Note: The following recommendations are based on a clean start at planting by
using a burndown application or tillage to control existing weeds before Soy­
bean emergence. In stale seedbed or no-till systems, a pre plant burndown treat­
ment of 0.5 to 2 quarts (16 to 64 fiuid ounces) per acre of this product may be
applied to control existing weeds prior to crop emergence.
