Aquatic Weed Control: Fish breathe dissolved oxygen in the water and decaying weeds also use oxygen. When treating continuous, dense 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. USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Users should: 1) Wash hands thoroughly 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 For terrestrial uses: This product is toxic to aquatic invertebrates and may be to toxic to fish. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark except as noted on appropriate labels. 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. PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals DANGER: Corrosive. Causes irreversible eye damage. May be fatal if absorbed through skin. Harmful if swallowed. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) Some materials that are chemical-resistant to this product are made of any waterproof material. If you want more options, follow the instructions for Category C on an EPA chemical-resistance category selection chart. All pilots must wear: Long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes and socks.

WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
I 2,4-D I GRdUPMM~~HERBiciD^
This product is a Group d herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to
this product and other Group d herbicides. Weed species with acquired resistance to Group d may eventually
dominate the weed population if Group d herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive
years as primary method of control for targeted species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of
those species by this product or other Group d herbicides.
To delay herbicide resistance, consider:
«--------Avoiding the consecutive use of this product or other target site of action Group d herbicides that have
a similar target site of action on the same weed species.
«--------Using tank-mixtures or premixes with herbicides from different target site of action Groups as long as
the involved products are all registered for the same use. have different sites of action, and are both effective
at the tank mix or prepack rate on the weed(s) of concern.
«--------Basing herbicide use-OR-a-eemprehensive IPM pr-egramr
•--------Monitoring treated weed populations for loss of field efficacy.
«--------Contacting your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors and/or manufacturer for herbicide
resistance management and/or integrated weed management recommendations for specific crops and
resistant weed biotypes.
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 sen/ice 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.
Do not apply this product in less than 2 gallons of total spray volume per acre. Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Page 4 of 32 Precautions and Restrictions: 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. W. A.). For further information, please refer to EPA website: http://www.epa.qov/espp/litstatus/wtc/index.htm. Apply this product as a water or oil-water spray during warm weather when weeds or woody plants are actively growing. Application under drought conditions will often give poor results. Use low spray pressure to minimize drift. Generally, the lower dosages specified on this label will be satisfactory 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 bindweed and many woody plants usually require repeated applications for satisfactory control. Consult your State Agricultural Experiment stations or Extension Service Weed Specialists for recommendations from this label that best fit local conditions. Do not contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for domestic purposes. Residues of 2,4- dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in the soil may temporarily inhibit seed germination or plant growth. Be sure that use of this product conforms to all applicable regulations. There may be state or local regulations affecting the use of 2,4-D herbicides in your area. Consult state agricultural experiment station or local extension service weed specialists regarding regulations applicable to your area or specific local weed control recommendations. PRODUCT INFORMATION DE-AMINE 6 is a herbicide intended for selective control of many broadleaf weeds in certain crops, including, cereal grains {Barley, Millet, Oats, Rye, Triticale, and Wheat), Corn (field Corn, Popcorn and Sweet Corn), fallow land and crop stubble, orchard floors (Apple, Pear, stone fruit and nut). Rice, Sorghum (grain and forage Sorghum), Soybeans (pre-plant burndown application only); forests; rangeland and established grass pastures, including Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) acres; non-cropland areas; grasses grown for seed or sod, ornamental turfgrass; and aquatic areas. 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 (WPS) 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. Entry Restrictions for Non-WPS Uses: Do not enter or allow people (or pets) to enter treatment areas during application. For terrestrial uses: Do not enter or allow people (or pets) to enter the treatment area until sprays have dried. AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard (WPS), 40 CFR Part 170. This standard contains the requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers or agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered in the WPS. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 48 hours. PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the WPS and that involves contact with anything that has been treated such as plants, soil, or water is: Coveralls over short-sleeved shirt and short pants, chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material, chemical-resistant footwear plus socks, and protective eyewear (goggles, face shield, safety glasses).
Page 5 of 32 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. Equipment All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or surrogates. Aerial Application The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter. 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. 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 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. 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. 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. Susceptible Plants Do not apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. Susceptible crops include, but are not limited to, cotton, okra, flowers, grapes (in growing stage), fruit trees (foliage), Soybeans (vegetable stage), ornamentals, sunflowers, tomatoes, beans, and other vegetables, or tobacco. Small amounts of spray drift that might not be visible may injure susceptible broadleaf plants. Crop Injury: Injury to crops may occur when this herbicide is used as specified. If you are not prepared to accept some degree of crop injury, do not use this product. Certain crop varieties may be more susceptible to 2,4-D injury. Apply this product only to crop 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. 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. 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.
Page 6 of 32 Precaution; Adding oil, wetting agent or other surfactant to the spray may increase effectiveness on weeds, but also may reduce selectivity to crops resulting in crop injury. Read and follow all directions, restrictions, and precautions on this label and on the label of each product added to the spray mixture. Follow the most restrictive labeling. 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 spray tank agitation during application. Do not store the spray mixture. Do not apply during cold weather (less than 40°F) to avoid spray mixture compatibility problems.
- Rinse and flush application equipment thoroughly after use at least three times with water. Dispose of all rinse water by application to treatment area or apply to non-cropland area away from water supplies.
- During the second rinse, add 1 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 min.). 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-D susceptible crop, additional steps may be required to remove all traces of 2,4-D, including cleaning of disassembled parts and replacement of hoses or other fittings that may contain absorbed 2,4-D. Groundboom Applications Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy. Mixing with Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizer This product may be combined with liquid nitrogen fertilizer suitable for foliar application to accomplish Broadleaf weed control and fertilization of Corn, small grains or pastures in a single operation. Use this product in accordance with the directions for these crops provided in this label. Use liquid fertilizer at rates specified by the supplier or Extension Service Specialist. Test for mixing compatibility as describe above before mixing in spray tank. A compatibility aid 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. Pre-mixing 1 part of this product with up to 4 parts water may help in situations when mixing difficulty occurs. Tank-Mixing Precautions A jar 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 0.5 hour. If the mixture balls up, forms flakes, sludge, gels, oily films or layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible and the tank mix combination should not be used. MIXING Mix this product only with water unless otherwise directed on this label. Add about half of the water to the mixing tank, then add this product with agitation, and finally add the rest of the water with continuing agitation. 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. APPLICATIONS Apply with calibrated air or 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 2 gallons or more per acre by air and 10 gallons or more per acre for ground equipment. Where states have regulations that 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 more than 2 applications per season. Do not apply within 21 days of previous application. Page 30 of 32 When treating moving bodies of water, applications must be made while traveling upstream to prevent concentration of 2,4-D downstream from the application. Coordination and approval of local and state authorities may be required, either by letter of agreement or issuance of special permits for such use. 2. 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 allowed only when the concentration of 2,4-D, in the water is less than the MCL (Maximum Contaminant Level) of 70 ppb. Applicators should consider the unique characteristics of the treated waters to assure that 2,4-D concentrations in potable water do not exceed 70 ppb at the time of consumption. Fish breathe oxygen in the water and a water-oxygen ratio must be maintained. Decaying weeds use up oxygen, but during the period when applications should be made, the weed mass is fairly sparse and the weed decomposition rate is slow enough that the water-oxygen ratio is not disturbed by treating the entire area at one time. If treatments must be applied later in the season when the weed mass is dense and repeat treatments are needed, apply product in lanes, leaving buffer strips which can then be treated when vegetation in treated lanes has disintegrated. During the growing season, weeds decompose in a 2 to 3 week period following treatment. C. If no setback distance from the "Drinking Water Setback Table (Table 2)" is to be used for the application, Aapplicators or the authorizing organization must provide a drinking water notification and an advisory to shut off all potable water intakes prior to a 2,4-D application. Notification to the party responsible for a public water supply or to individual private water users must be done in a manner to assure that the party is aware of the water use restrictions when this product is applied to potable water. B. For submerged weed applications, the drinking water setback distances from functioning potable water intakes are provided in "Table 2: Drinking Water Setback Distance" (below). Water Use:
- Water for irrigation or sprays: A. If treated water is intended to be used only for crops or non-crop areas that are labeled for direct treatment with 2,4-D such as Pastures, Turfgrass or Cereal grains, the treated water may be used to irrigate and/or mix sprays for these sites at any time after the 2,4,-D aquatic application. B. Due to potential phytotoxicity and/or residue considerations, the following restrictions are applicable: If treated water is intended to be used to irrigate or mix spray for unlabeled crops, non-crop areas or other plants 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 described in the “Drinking Water Setback” Table was used for the application, or, ii) A waiting period of 21 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.
