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. Use of this product in certain portions of California, Oregon and Washington is subject to the January 22, 2024 Order for injunctive relief in Washington Toxics Coalition, et. al. v, EPA. C01-032C, (W.D. WA). For further information, please refer to EPA Web Site: http://www.epa.gove/espp. 34704-125 10/08/2025

LOW VOL 6 ESTER WEED KILLER EPA REG. NO. 34704-125 2 Do not contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for domestic purposes. Use care to avoid spray contact or drift to 2,4-D susceptible plants such as cotton, tomatoes, flowers, grapes, fruit trees and ornamentals. Do not permit spray mist containing LOW VOL 6 to drift onto them, since even very small quantities of the spray, which may not be visible, can cause severe injury during both growing and dormant periods. Do not spray when the wind is blowing towards susceptible crops or ornamental plants. Use coarse sprays to minimize drift. With ground equipment spray drift can be lessened by keeping the spray boom as low as possible by applying 20 gallons or more of spray per acre; by using no more than 20 pounds of spraying pressure with flat fan or flooding flat fan nozzle tips; and by spraying when wind velocity is low. Do not apply with hollow cone-type insecticide of other nozzles that produce a fine droplet spray. With aircraft application, apply 1 to 5 gallons of spray per acre; by using nozzles which produce a course spray pattern. Although this product is much less volatile than butyl or isopropyl esters, at high temperatures (above 95°F.) vapors from this product may injure susceptible plants growing nearby. Do not use in a greenhouse. Flush sprayer out on suitable non-crop area after use. Do not use the same spray equipment for applying other materials to 2,4-D susceptible crops as injury may result. 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.

For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation. AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of 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 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 water-proof material, • Shoes plus socks. 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, air-blast) 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 active 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 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, but are not limited to, 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 states 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 rights-of-way applications. 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. Additional requirements for ground boom application: Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy. General Precautions: 2,4-D esters may volatilize during conditions of low humidity and high temperatures. Do not apply during conditions of low humidity and high temperatures. PRODUCT INFORMATION LOW VOL 6 is recommended for control of numerous broadleaf weeds and certain 2,4-D susceptible woody plants without injury to most established grasses.

NOTE: Local conditions, crop varieties and application regulations vary and may affect use of this herbicide. Consult local agricultural experiment station or extension service weed specialists and state regulatory agencies for recommendations in your area. Apply when weeds are young and actively growing. For ground application, apply a minimum of 5 gallons of spray solution per acre. Aerial application may be of use for control of weeds on certain crops where there would be no danger of drift to susceptible crops. Apply a minimum of 2 gallons of spray solution per acre. Applications should only be made by applicators experienced in the use of 2,4-D formulations. Regulations governing aerial application of herbicides are in effect in many states. Consult local regulatory agencies concerning requirements before making applications.

Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.

Treating Small Areas: One tablespoonful of LOW VOL 6 in 1½ gallons of water is about equal to 1 quart in 100 gallons. TO PREPARE THE SPRAY: (1) Fill the spray tank about half full with water, then add the required amount of LOW VOL 6, with agitation, and finally the rest of the water. NOTE: LOW VOL 6 in water forms an emulsion which tends to separate unless the mixture is kept agitated. (2) If

LOW VOL 6 ESTER WEED KILLER EPA REG. NO. 34704-125 3 oil is added, first mix the LOW VOL 6 and the oil and then add this mixture to the water. However, with adequate agitation, the oil can be added after the LOW VOL 6 is mixed in the water. (3) If straight oil is used, a solution is formed and separation does not occur. Do not allow any water to get into the oil-herbicide mixture to avoid formation of an invert emulsion.

TIME OF APPLICATION: Best results are obtained when LOW VOL 6 is used on young weeds that are actively growing. Application of lower rates to susceptible annual weeds usually will be satisfactory, but for perennial weeds and other conditions, such as in very dry areas where kill is difficult, use higher rates. When used as a selective spray on crops, the stage of growth of the crop must be considered. Some woody plants and weeds are hard to kill and repeat applications may be necessary.

SMALL GRAINS Restrictions: The preharvest interval (PHI) is 14 days. Limited to 2.33 pts. product/A (1.75 lbs ae/A) per crop cycle. Postemergence: Limited to one postemergence application per crop cycle. Do not exceed a maximum of 1.6 pints product/acre (1.25 lb ae/acre) per application. Preharvest: Limited to one preharvest application per crop cycle. Do not exceed a maximum of 0.66 pts. product/A (0.5 lbs ae/A) per application. Spring Wheat and Barley: Apply 1/3 to 2/3 pint per acre (.2 to .46 lb ae/acre). Spray when grain is in full tiller stage (usually 4 to 8 inches tall) but before the boot stage and when weeds are small. Do not apply before the tiller stage nor from early boot to the dough stage. Higher rates, up to 1 1/3 pints per acre, may be needed to handle difficult weed problems in certain areas such as under dry conditions especially in western areas. However, do not use unless possible crop injury will be acceptable.

Winter Wheat and Rye: Apply 1/3 to 1/2 pint per acre (.2 to .35 lb ae/acre) in the spring at the full tiller stage but before the early boot stage. For improved control of difficult weeds including wild garlic, wild onion, tarweed and gromwell; apply 2/3 to 1 1/3 pints per acre (.46 to .93 lb ae/acre). Since these rates may injure the crop, do not use unless possible crop injury will be acceptable. For the high rates on spring wheat and barley as well as winter wheat and rye consult State Agricultural Experimental Station or Extension Service Weed Specialists for recommendations or suggestions to fit local conditions. Spring Seeded Oats: Apply 1/3 pint per acre (.2 lb ae/acre) at the full tiller stage but before the early boot stage. Oats are less tolerant to 2,4-D than wheat or bar- ley and are more likely to suffer some injury. Fall Seeded Oats (Southern) Grown for Grain: Apply 1/2 to 1 pint per acre (.35 to .7 lb ae/A) after full tillering but before the early boot stage. Some difficult weeds may require higher rates for maximum control but crop injury may result. Do not spray during or immediately following cold weather.

NOTE: Do not permit dairy animals or meat animals being finished for slaughter to forage or graze treated grain fields within 2 weeks after treatment. Preharvest Treatment: Apply 2/3 to 0.7 pints per acre (.46 to .5 Ib ae/acre) when grains are in the hard dough stage to control large weeds that may interfere with harvest. Best results will be obtained when soil moisture is sufficient to cause succulent weed growth. NOTE: Do not feed treated straw to livestock. CORN, FIELD, POP, SWEET Restrictions Field and pop: Do not use treated crop as fodder for 7 days following application. The preharvest interval (PHI) is 7 days. Do no exceed a maximum of 4.28 pint product/acre (3.0 lb ae/acre) per crop cycle. Preplant or preemergnce: Limited to one preplant or preemergence application per crop cycle. Maximum of 1.4 pints product/acre (1.0 Ib ae/acre) per application. Postemergence: Limited to one postemergence application per crop cycle. Maximum of 0.7 pints produce/acre (0.5 Ib ae/acre) per application. Preharvest: Limited to one preharvest application per crop cycle. Maximum of 2.14 pints product/acre (1.5 Ib ae/acre) per application. Sweet Corn: Do not use treated crop as fodder for 7 days following application. The preharvest interval (PHI) is 45 days. Observe a minimum of 21 days between applications. Do not exceed a maximum of 2.14 pts. product/A (1.5 Ibs ae/A) per crop cycle. Preplant or preemergence: Limited to one preplant or preemergence application per crop cycle. Maximum of 1.4 pts. product/A (1.0 Ibs ae/A) per application. Postemergence: Limited to one postemergence application per crop cycle. Maximum of 0.7 pts. product/A (0.5 Ibs ae/A) per application. CORN: Preemergence- Use LOW VOL 6 in sufficient water for uniform coverage. Best results are obtained when applied 3 to 5 days after planting, but before corn emerges. Do not apply to light, sandy soils.

Postemergence- Apply LOW VOL 6 from emergence to tasseling. When spraying corn above 10 inches in height, use nozzle extensions ("corn drops"), directing the spray at base of the corn plant to keep the spray off the leaves as much as possible. Do not apply from tassel emergence to dough stage. Crop injury is more likely to occur if corn is growing rapidly under high temperature and high soil moisture conditions. Under such conditions, use the lowest rates. Delay cultivation for 8 to 10 days after application to reduce stalk breakage resulting from temporary brittleness caused by 2,4-D. Hybrids vary in tolerance to 2,4-0. Consult local agricultural experiment station or extension service weed specialist regarding the use of 2,4-D on your specific hybrid. See chart for listed rates.

*Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Kansas, Colorado & Western Nebraska **If only rows or bands are treated, leaving middles unsprayed, reduce dosage rate per crop acre proportionate to the ground area actually sprayed.

PREHARVEST CORN TREATMENT: After the hard dough or denting stage, apply 2/3 to 1 1/3 pints per ac re 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. Do not forage or feed corn fodder for 7 days following application.

SORGHUM (MILO) Restrictions: The preharvest interval (PHI) is 30 days. Do not permit meat or dairy animals to consume treated crop as fodder or forage for 30 days following application. Postemergence: Limited to 1 application per crop cycle. Do not exceed a maximum of 0.7 pints produce/acre (0.5 Ib ae/acre) per application. Apply 1/3 pint per acre (.2 Ib ae/A) when sorghum is 5 to 15 inches tall. A higher rate of 1/2 to 2/3 pint per acre (.35 to .46lb ae/A) may be needed to control some weeds but the chance for crop injury is likewise increased. Do not use with oil. Do not treat before the sorghum is 5 inches tall nor during the boot, flowering or early dough stages. If sorghum is taller than 8 inches, use drop nozzles to keep the spray off the foliage as much as possible. Temporary crop injury may occur under conditions of high soil moisture and high air temperatures. Varieties vary in tolerance to 2,4-D and some hybrids are quite sensitive. Spray only varieties known to be tolerant to 2,4-0. Contact seed company and Extension Service authorities for this information.

SOYBEAN (Preplant Only) FOR USE IN CROP RESIDUE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Restrictions: The maximum rate per crop cycle is 1.4 pints product/acre (1.0 Ib ae/acre). Preplant: Limited to 2 preplant applications per crop cycle. Maximum of 0.7 pints produce/acre (0.5 Ib ae/acre) per preplant application. Apply not less than 7 days prior to planting soybeans. or Preplant: Limited to 1 application per crop cycle. Maximum of 1.4 pints product/acre (1.0 lb ae/acre) per preplant application. Apply not less than 15 days prior to planting soybeans.

Amount of LOW VOL 6 per Acre Crop (See Detailed Directions Above For Average Conditions For Dry Conditions as in Western States* Corn** 1 1/3 to 1 2/5 pints (.9 to 1 lb ae) Preemergence 1/3 pint (.2 lb ae) Postemergence 1/3 to1/2 pint (.2 to .35 lb ae)

LOW VOL 6 ESTER WEED KILLER EPA REG. NO. 34704-125 4 WEEDS RATE/ACRE DIRECTIONS Postemergence 1/2 to 2/3 pint (.35 to .46 lb ae) Apply not less than 7 days prior to planting soybeans when weeds are small and actively growing. Use the higher rate on larger weeds and when perennials are present. 2/3 to 1 1/3 pints (.46 to .9 lb ae) Apply not less than 30 days prior to planting soybeans when weeds are actively growing. In addition to those weeds found on the general weed list, this product will suppress or control the following broadleaf weeds frequently encountered in reduced tillage soybean production systems: bullnettle, small-flowered bitter-cress, Carolina geranium, small-flowered buttercup, common and rough cinquefoil, red clover*, horsew eed or marestail, mousetail, wild mustard, field pennycress. cutleaf evening primrose, common purslane, speedwell, and Virginia copperleaf. *These weeds are only partially controlled.

Do not apply more than 1.4 pints of this product (1.0 lb ae) in one season prior to planting soybeans. After applying, plant soybean seed as deep as practical or at least 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep. Adjust the planter press wheel, if necessary, to ensure that planted seed is completely covered.

Aerial Application: When applying aeri ally, use 2 or more gallons of total spray volume per acre. Ground Application: With ground equipment, use 10 or more gallons of total spray volume per acre. This product may be applied preplant to soybeans in tank mixtures with other herbicides that are registered for preplant soybean use.

Note: Unacceptable injury to soybeans planted in fields previously treated with this product may occur. Whether or not soybean injury occurs and the extent of the injury will depend on weather and agronomic factors such as the amount of weed vegetation and previous crop residue present that may be in effect between the time of appl ications and the emergence of the soybean plant. GRASS SEED CROPS Restrictions Limited to 2 applications per year. Ma ximum of 2.85 pts product/acre (2.0 lb ae/acre) per application. Minium of 21 days between applications. Use 2/3 to 1 pint per acre (.46 to .7 lb ae/acre) in the amount of water required for uniform application by air or ground equipment. Apply to established stands in spring from the tiller to early boot stage. Do not spray in boot stage. New spring seedings may be treated with the lower rate after the grasses have at least five leaves. Perennial weed regrowth may be treated in the fall. Do not graze dairy animals on treated areas within 7 days after application. Do not graze meat animals on treated areas within 3 days before slaughter. Do not cut treated grass for hay within 30 days after application. 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).
