PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS DANGER / PELIGRO 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) Handlers using engineering controls must wear: x Long-sleeved shirt and long pants, x Shoes and socks, x In addition, mixers and loaders must wear chemical-resistant gloves and a chemical-resistant apron. All other handlers must wear: x Coveralls over short-sleeved shirt and short pants, x Chemical-resistant footwear plus socks, x Goggles or faceshield, x Chemical-resistant gloves (made of any waterproof material), x Chemical-resistant apron when applying as a spray to citrus or if exposed to the concentrate, and x Chemical-resistant headgear for overhead exposure. 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. Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this product’s concentrate. Do not reuse them. Engineering Controls Statements: Water soluble packets, when used correctly, qualify as a closed mixing/loading system under the Worker Protection Standard [40 CFR 170.607(d)]. Mixers and loaders handling this product while it is enclosed in intact water soluble packets may elect to wear reduced PPE of long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes, socks, a chemical-resistant apron, and chemical - resistant gloves. When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all PPE specified above for “applicators and other handlers” and have such PPE immediately available for use in an emergency, such as a spill or equipment break-down. USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Users should wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet. Users should 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. Users should 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 pesticide may be hazardous 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 waste adjacent to treated areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water or rinsate. For Aquatic Uses: 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 sep arated 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. Most cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-D have been associated with mixing/loading and disposal sites. Caution should be exercised when handling 2,4-D pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of groundwate r supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing or transferring this pesticide will reduce the probability of spills. Placement of t he mixing/loading equipment on an impervious pad to contain spills will help prevent groundwater contamination. 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 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.

Instructions for Using Water Soluble Packages Directly into Spray tanks: Water Soluble Packages (WSPs) are designed to dissolve in water. Agitation may be used, if necessary, to help dissolve the WSP. Failure to follow handling and mixing instructions can increase your exposure to the pesticide products in WSPs. WSPs, when used properly, qualify as a closed mixing/loading system under the Agricultural Worker Protection Standard [40 CFR 170.607(d)].
Handling Instructions Follow these steps when handling pesticide products in WSPs.
- Mix in spray tank only.
- Handle WSP(s) in a manner that protects package from breakage and/or unintended release of contents. If package is broken, put on PPE required for clean-up and then continue with mixing instructions.
- Keep the WSP(s) in outer packaging until just before use.
- Keep the WSP dry prior to adding to the spray tank.
- Handle with dry gloves and according to the label instructions for PPE.
- Keep WSP intact. Do not cut or puncture WSP.
- Reseal the WSP outer packaging to protect any unused WSP(s).
Mixing Instructions Follow the steps below when mixing this product, including if tank mixed with other pesticide products. If being tank mixed, the mixing directions 1 through 9 below take precedence over the mixing directions of the other tank mix products. WSPs may, in some cases, be mixed with other pesticide products so long as the directions for use of all mixed products do not conflict. Do not tank mix this product with products that prohibit tank mixing or have conflicting mixing directions.
- If a basket or strainer is present in the tank hatch, remove prior to adding the WSP to the tank.
- Fill tank with water to approximately one-third to one-half of the desired final volume of spray.
- Stop adding water and stop any agitation.
- Place intact/unopened WSP(s) into the tank.
- Do not spray water from a hose or fill pipe to break or dissolve the WSP(s).
- Start mechanical and recirculation agitation from the bottom of tank without using any overhead recirculation, if possible. If overhead recirculation cannot be turned off, close the hatch before starting agitation.
- Dissolving the WSP(s) may take up to 5 minutes or longer, depending on water temperature, water hardness and intensity of agitation.
- Stop agitation before tank lid is opened.
- Open the lid to the tank, exercising caution to avoid contact with dusts or spray mix, to verify that the WSPs have fully dissolved and the contents have been thoroughly mixed into the solution.
- Do not add other allowed pr oducts or complete filling the tank until the bags have fully dissolved and pesticide is thoroughly mixed.
- Once the WSP have fully dissolved and any other products have been added to the tank, resume filling the tank with water to the desired level, close the tank lid, and resume agitation.
- Use the spray solution when mixing is complete.
- Maintain agitation of the diluted pesticide mix during transport and application.
- It is unlawful to use any registered pesticide, including WSPs, in a manner inconsistent with its label.
SPRAY DRIFT REDUCTION 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, chemigation) can influence pesticide drift. The applicator must evaluate all factors and make appropriate adjustments when applying this product.” Droplet Size When applying sprays that contain 2,4-D as the sole active ingredient, or when applying sprays that contain 2,4-D mixed with ac tive 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
4
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. 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, cotton, okra, flowers, grapes (in growing stage ), fruit trees (foliage), soybeans (vegetative stage), ornamentals, sunflowers, tomatoes, beans, and other vegetables, or tobacco. Small amounts of spray drift that might not be visible may injure susceptible 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 state s have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. Equipment All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or surrogates. Additional requirements for aerial applications: The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter. Release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight safety. Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. This requirement does not apply to forestry or r ights-of- way applications. When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be di splaced 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.

Generally the lower dosages given will be satisfactory for young, succulent growth of sensitive weed species. For less sensitive species and under conditions where control is more difficult, the higher dosages will be needed. Apply this product during warm weather when weeds are young and growing actively. Use enough spray volume for uniform coverage by ground or air application. Unless otherwise recommended, suggested application rates may be up to 10 gallons of total spray by air or 5 to 25 gallons by ground application equipment. If only bands or rows are treated, leaving middles untreated, the dosage per crop per acre is reduced proportionately. Do QRWDSSO\ZKHQWHPSHUDWXUHH[FHHGVÛ) TO PREPARE THE SPRAY Mix this product only with water. Just add the recommended water to your spray tank, then add the appropriate amount of product into the spray tank and agitate for three to five minutes. This product will make a stable water mixture. It is non-flammable. NOTES: (1) Adding oil, wetting agent, or other surfactant to the spray may be used to increase effectiveness on weeds, but doing so may reduce selectivity to crops resulting in crop damage. (2) Every [2 packets (38 ounces)] [4 packets (36 ounces)] of this product is equal to 5 pints of 2,4-D “4 lb.” Amine. (3) Using [2 packets (38 ounces)] [4 packets (36 ounces)] for a 5 acre coverage is equ ivalent to applying 2,4-D “4 lb.” Amine at a rate of 1 pint per acre. SELECTIVE WEEDING IN CROPS WITH LIQUID NITROGEN SOLUTIONS For late season control of young Smartweed, Cocklebur, Annual Morningglory and other annual broadleaf weeds less than 1 inch high. Field should be as clean as possible and corn 20 to 30 inches tall. The spray must be prepared by first adding the required amount of liquid nitrogen to spray tank (80 to 120 lbs. nitrogen per acre). Next dilute [2 packets (38 ounces)] [4 packets (36 ounces)] of this product in 5 gallons of clean water. Start the agitator and (slowly) add the diluted Solution and water mixture. This combination of nitrogen and Solution will cover 5 acres. Spray immediately, maintaining continuous agitation until spray tank is empty. Direct the spray to lower 3 to 4 inches of corn stalk. Use spray equipment designed to handle corrosive liquid nitrogen solutions. After spraying, remove any remaining solution and rinse rig thoroughly with solu. Mix only one tank at a time. Do not spray during or immediately following cold weather. CITRUS FLOOR Broadleaf Control Use 18 to 27 ounces of this product in 10-100 gallons of water to treat one acre. For band or spot treatment calculate rates according to the actual portion of acre treated. Apply as a directed sp ray onto weeds to point of runoff when weeds are young and activel y growing. Repeat applications through the growing and dormant season as needed. Ground application only using low silhouette or shielded sprayer to avoid contact with green plant tissue. Use with drift retar dant to increase deposition and reduce drift. Make up to two applications through the dormant and growing seasons as needed. Do not harvest citrus within 40 days of application. Do not graze of feed cover crops from treated orchards to livestock. CORN (Field, Sweet and Popcorn) Preemergence (For annual grasses and broadleaf weeds) Apply to soil any time after planting but before corn emerges. Do not use on light sandy soil, or where soil moisture is low. Dissolve [2 packets (38 ounces)] [4 packets (36 ounces)]in 4 to 30 gallons of water and apply over 2 acres. The amount of water is dependent on whether application is made with air or ground equipment. Emergence Dissolve [2 packets (38 ounces)] [4 packets (36 ounces)] in 10 to 100 gallons of water per 5 acres. Apply just as corn plants are breaking ground. Postemergence (For broadleaf weeds) Dissolve [2 packets (38 ounces)] [4 packets (36 ounces)] in 10 to 100 gallons of water. This mixture will treat 5 to 10 acres. Apply when most weeds have germinated. Spray after corn emerges and until 8 inches tall. Use low rates on inbreds. Corn is susceptible to injury shortly after emergence and after unfolding of leaves. Do not spray during this period nor after first tassels appear. When corn is over 8 inches tall, use drop nozzle to keep spray off corn foliage. Spray must strike tops of weeds but should not drench corn plants. Do not apply from tasseling to dough stage. Injury to corn is most likely to occur if this product is applied when corn is growing rapidly under high temperatures and high soil moisture conditions. In such conditions, use the low rate. Do not use higher rates unless possible crop injury will be accepted. After application, delay cultivation for 8 to 10 days to allow the corn to overcome any temporary brittleness. Preharvest After the hard dough or denting stage, apply by air or ground equipment to suppress perennial weeds, decrease weed seed production, and control tall weeds such as Bindweed, Cocklebur, Dogbane, Jimsonweed, Ragweed, Sunflower, Velvetleaf and vines that interfere with harvesting. Dissolve [2 packets (38 ounces)] [4 packets (36 ounces)]in 5 to 100 gallons of water to treat from 2.5 to 5 acres. USE PRECAUTIONS FOR FIELD AND POPCORN Do not use treated crop as fodder for 7 days following application. The preharvest interval (PHI) is 7 days.

12
Boom spraying onto water surfaces must be held to a minimum and no cross-stream spraying to opposite banks should be permitted. When spraying shoreline weeds, allow no more than two-foot over-spray onto water with an average of less than one-foot over-spray to prevent introduction of greater than negligible amounts of chemical into the water. Do not allow dairy animals to graze on treated areas for at least 7 days after spraying. Water within banks should not be fished. Local conditions may affect the uses of this chemical as shown on this label. Consult State Experiment Station or Extension Ser vice weed specialist for specific recommendations for local weed problems and for information on possible lower dosages. DITCHBANK APPLICATION Postemergence Limited to 2 applications per season. Maximum of 2.5 pounds of product per acre per application. Minimum of 30 days between applications. Spot treatment permitted. Do not use on small canals with a flow rate less than 10 cubic feet per second (CFS) where water will be used for drinking purposes. CFS may be estimated by using the formula below. The approximate velocity needed for the calculation can be determined by observing the length of time that it takes a floating object to travel a defined distance. Divide the distance (ft.) by the time (sec.) to estimate velocity (ft. per sec.). Repeat 3 times and use the average to calculate CFS. Average Width (ft.) x Average Depth (ft.) x Average Velocity (ft. per sec.) = CFS For ditchbank weeds Do not allow boom spray to be directed onto water surface. Do not spray across stream to opposite bank. For shoreline weeds Allow no more than 2 foot overspray onto water FOR AQUATIC WEEDS SUCH AS WATER HYACINTH IN WATERS THAT ARE QUIESCENT OR SLOW MOVING (LAKES, PONDS, RESERVOIRS, CANALS, RIVERS, BAYOUS, STREAMS, DRAINAGE DITCHES, MARSHES, ETC.) Aerial Application - Use [2 packets (38 ounces)] [4 packets (36 ounces)] of this product in 5 to 15 gallons of water to cover 1.2 surface acres. Use drift control spray equipment or thickening agents mixed into the spray solution. Apply through standard boom system s with a minimum of 5 gallons of spray mix per acre. Surface Application - Use [2 to 4 packets (38 to 76 ounces)] [4 to 8 packets (36 to 72 ounces)] of this product in 50 to 100 gallons of water per 1 acre. Uniform coverage is essential. Avoid submerging plants after treatment. Application should be made when leaves are fully developed above water line and plants are actively growing. Use power sprayers operated with a boom or spray gun mounted on a boat, tractor or truck. Thorough wetting of foliage is essential for maximum control. Special precautions such as the use of low pressure, large nozzles and thickening agents should be taken to avoid spray drift in areas of sensitive crops. For DIRECTA-SPRAYTM operation, use this product with 1 pint of drift control agent in 50 to 100 gallons of water. For other applications, follow the drift control agent label for mixing directions. Consult your State Game and Fish Department or Water Control Agency prior to application of this product for aquatic weed control. Treatment of aquatic weeds can result in oxygen loss from decomposition of dead weeds. This loss can cause fish suffocation. Therefore, to minimize this hazard, treat 1/3 to 1/2 of the water area in a single operation and wait at least 10 to 14 days between treatments. Begin treatments along the shore and proceed outward in bands to allow fish to move into untreated areas. For large bodies of weed infested waters, leave buffer strips of at least 100 feet wide and delay treatment of these strips for 4 to 5 weeks or until the dead vegetation has decomposed. Repeat as necessary to kill regrowth and plants missed in previous application.
