ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Do not apply directly to water or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from target area. Spray equipment used in applying this product should be thoroughly deaned before using for any other purpose. Use repeated flushing with soap and warm water or suitable chemical cleaner. It is best to use a separate sprayer for application of insecticides and fungicides. Do not contaminate water by cleaning of equipment or disposal of washwaters. This product will kill or seriously injure many desirable forms of vegetation. Do not apply directly to flowers, fruits, vegetables, grapes, omamentals, cotton or other desirable plants. Do

not use when there is hazard from drifting mists. (Coarse sprays are less likely to drift.) Vapors from this product may injure susceptible plants in the immediate vicinity. Avoid contamination of water used for domestic purposes and irrigation purposes. Excessive amounts of this product in the soil may temporarily inhibit seed germination and plant growth. This product is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Drift or runoff may adversely affect aquatic invertebrates and nontarget plants. Do not apply directly to water except as specified on this label. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION Most cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-0 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. CHEMIGATION PROHIBITION Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. 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 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 Shoes plus socks Protective eyewear 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). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries, or greenhouses. For Turf Sites (excluding sod farms): Do not allow people (other than applicator) or pets on treatment area during application. Do not enter treatment areas until dust has settled. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL PROHIBITIONS: Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.

Personnel should use clothing and equipment consistent with good pesticide handling. PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Pesticide wastes are toxic. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate,is a violation of Federal law and may contaminate groundwater. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance. CONTAINER DISPOSAL: Completely empty bag into application equipment. Then dispose of empty bag in a sanitary landfill or by incineration, or, if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke. This product can reach groundwater from improper handling.

Wash nondisposable gloves thoroughly with soap and water before removing. If spills occur, collect the material and dispose of by following disposal instructions on this label. Cleaning of Equipment: When cleaning equipment, do not pour the washwater on the ground; spray or drain over a large area away from wells and other water sources. GENERAL INFORMATION Weed Rhap® Low Volatile Granular D is formulated by impregnating selected mineral granules with low volatile 2,4-0 ester, to minimize drift. The 24/48 mesh size is recommended for the control of certain weeds which infest turf grass and crops such as corn, strawberries, and cranberries. Avoid application to susceptible plants, because this product may injure plants such as colton, soybeans, tomatoes, beans, fruit trees, and ornamentals. DO NOT allow particles or dust to drift onto desirable crops or plants. Although this product contains a low volatile ester, it should be used with caution where spreading vapors can damage nearby susceptible plants.

It is best to use separate equipment for applying 2,4-D granules. Should the same equipment be used for applying other materials, however, clean it thoroughly before such use to remove all traces of 2,4-D particles or dust. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS ORNAMENTAL TURF such as lawns, golf courses, cemeteries, and parkways: To control wild onion and broadleaved weeds such as dandelion, plantain, ivy, bitterweed, and dogfennel, apply 10 to 15 Ibs. of granules per acre in early spring when shoots are young and actively growing, using a mechanical spreader. Repeat application in one month to control skipped spots. Weeds over 6 inches tall are sometimes resistant and should be sprayed with Weed Rhap® A-4D or Weed Rhap® Low Volatile 4D. NOTES FOR ALL TURF SITES: (excluding sod farms): The maximum number of broadcast applications per treatment site is 2 per year. DO NOT USE on bentgrass, St. Augustine grass, dichondra, carpetgrass, or newly plugged or seeded turf. IN CORN: For pre-emergence application to aid control of annual grasses such as large and small foxtail, crabgrass, and bamyardgrass; and broadleaved weeds such as smartweed, sunflower, wild mustard, cocklebur, bindweed, dandelion, and momingglory, apply as follows: With a granule applicator designed to apply a band over the planted row, apply 3 to 3-1/4Ibs. per acre in a band 14 inches wide when rows are 42 inches apart. If the planting varies from this standard band width, or row separation, the granules should be applied proportionally. Be sure the granules are allowed to stay on top of the soil, preferably, they should be applied behind the packer wheel at planting time. Be sure the corn is planted 2-1/2 to 3 inches deep, as damage may occur to shallow planted com. DO NOT apply on sandy soil. (For Com Belt Only). IN STRAWBERRIES: For pre-emergent application to control weeds such as crabgrass, foxtail, bamyardgrass or wintergrass, horseweed, bullnettle, carelessweed, morningglory, dock, smartweed, jimsonweed, and dandelion: Apply at the rate of 121bs. per acre over the planted area. Application should be made broadcast using a spreader-seeder previously adjusted to deliver 12 Ibs. per acre. Application should be made only in the dormant season (after first fall frost or before new leafing in spring). IN CRANBERRIES: For pre-emergent application to control annual broadleaved weeds in bearing cranberry marshes, apply at a rate of 10 to 20 Ibs. per acre (2 to 4lbs. 2,4-D equivalent per acre).­ Application should be made broadcast in the spring after removal of the winter flood from the dormant vines. Weeds controlled are common ragweed, sticktight, teathumb, smartweed, Northem Saint Johnswort, and common species of annual smartweed. Careful distribution of the granules is necessary if adequate control is to be obtained. Granules may also be distributed on ice over plants prior to spring thaw (for Wisconsin area).
