: -------~ , ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS This product--is -toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Drift or runoff may 'aversely affect aquatic invertebrates and nontarget plants. Do not apply directly to water or wetlands (sw1mps, bogs, marshes, and pothole). Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. Host 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 2,4-0 pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of groundwater supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing or transferring this pesticide will reduce the probability of spills. Placement of the mixing/loading equipment on an impervioUS pad to contain spills will help prevent groundwater contamination.

USE PRECAUTIONS D not apply directly to or otherwise permit sprays to come in contact w1th vegetables, flowers, grapes, fruit trees cane berries ornamentals or other desirable plants which are sensitive'to 2 4-0 and do not permit spray mist to drift onto them, since even minute ~antities of the spray may cause severe injury during both growing and dormant periods. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift. Application by airplane, ground equipment, or hand sprayer should be made only When there is no hazard from drift. BEST AVAILABLE COP1

Do not apply by airplane in the vicinity of grapes or other desirable 2,4-0 susceptible plants. Do not contam1nate irrigation ditches or water used for aomeL~~ purposes. Excessive amounts of 2,4-0 in the soil may temporarily inhibit seed geination or plant growth. 1 t lif At higher temperatures vaporization may cause injury to susceptible plants growing nearby. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Do not use spray equipment for any other purpose. Such equipment should not be used for application of insecticides, fungicides, or other agricultural chemicals. APPLICATION DIRECTIONS Applications should be made during warm weather when weeds are well leaved out and growing actively. Repeat applications may be necessary to achieve adequate control. Apply at moderate pressures of tram 40 to 60 lbs. DO NOT APPLY BY AIRPLANE IN THE VICINITY OF GRAPES OR OTHER SUSCEPTIBLE CROPS. MIXING DIRECTIONS Add half the required saount of water to the spray tank, then add the specified amount of this product with agitation, then add the balance of the water with continued agitation. (Agitation must be continuous to maintain ideal emulsion.) RARHING: This product forms an eaulsion in water--not a solution. The water emulsion tends to sepae on standing and for this reason continued.agitation is necessary to prevent separation and to baintain a uniform spray mixture. SPECIFIC DIRECTIONS WEED CONTROL l:H SHALL GRAINS

1. Use 1/2 tc 1 lb. actual SOLv;B LV ESTER 6 Wheat and Barley. . . - . ' .. 2,4-0 acid per acre (2/3 to 1 1/3 pt. for selective spraying of weeds in f'"':,)

2. Apply in SUfficient water (minimum 5 gallons for air application; 10 gallons for ground application) to give uniform coverage of the weeds.

3. The lower rate is suggested only for very susceptible weeds such as Mustard. For resistant weeds, such as Wild Buckwheat and Thistles, use the higher rate.

4. Do not use on grain interplanted with leguaes, particularly Alfalfa or sweet Clover, unless injury to the legume can be tolerated.

5. Spray When grain is 4 to 8 inches high (full tiller stage). When applied prior to tillering and also after the grain has reached the boot stage, injury may result. BEST AVAILABLE COllY
