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 by the Worker Protection Standard. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 12 hours. PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is: coveralls, chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material and shoes plus socks. NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR part 170).

CROPS CORN (Field): For preemergence application to aid control of annual grasses such as large and small Foxtail (Pigeon grass), Crabgrass, Barnyardgrass; broadleaved weeds such as Smartweed, Sunflower, Wild mustard, Cocklebur, Bindweed, Dandelion, Morningglory, Pigweed, Tarweed, Ragweed, Wild radish, Pennyworts, Plantains, Healall, Chicory, Yellow star thistle, Lambsquarters, and Watergrass. This product should be applied preferably at corn planting time. It may, however, also be applied just before corn emerges through the soil. Plant corn at least 2 inches deep when using preemergence 2,4-0 applications. This will aid in preventing injury from leaching of weed killer. With this treatment, one should not expect season-long control. It is intended to control grasses for 3 to 4 weeks so that the corn seedlings can get started without competition. It has very little effect on established broadleaf weeds over 6 inches tall; and none at all on grassy weeds once they have germinated. Use 5 pounds of this product per acre applying to soil from time of planting up to 2 days before corn seedlings emerge. This application is on a broadcast basis equivalent to 1 pound ,of actual 2,4-0 (Acid) equivalent. For band or row application approximately 14 inches wide, apply 3.5 pounds of this product per acre on 40 inch rows. Limited to one preplant or preemergence application per crop cycle at a maximum of 5 pounds per acre per application. CRANBERRIES: For preemergence application to control annual broadleaved weeds in bearing cranberry marshes, apply at a rate of 10 to '20 pounds per acre (2 to 4 pounds 2,4-0 equivalent per acre). Application should be made broadcast in the spring after removal of the winter flood from the dormant vines. Limited to one dormant season application per crop cycle at a maximum of 20 pounds per acre per dormant season. Weeds controlled are Common Ragweed, Sticktight, Tearthumb, Smartweed, Northern Saint Johnswort, and common species of Annual Smartweed. Careful distribution of granules is necessary if adequate control is to be obtained. (For Wisconsin area granules may also be distributed on ice over plants prior to spring thaw.) TURF ORNAMENTAL TURF: (such as lawns, golf courses, cemeteries, and parkways). To control Wild onion and broadleavEid weeds such as Dandelion, Plantain, Ivy Bitterweed, and Dogfennel, apply S pounds of granules per acre in early spring when shoots are young and actively growing, using a mechanical spreader. Repeat application in one month or later to control skipped spots. DO NOT USE on Bentgrass, St. Augustinegrass, Dichondra, Carpetgrass, or newly plugged or seeded turf. The maximum rate per application is S'pounds per acre, limited to 2 applications per year. The maximum seasonal rate is 16 pounds per acre, excluding spot treatments.
