As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Drift or run-off may adversely affect nontarget plants. For terrestrial uses, do not apply directiy to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate. Do not contaminate water intended for irrigation or domestic purposes. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from target area. GROUND WATER CONTAMINATION STATEMENT Most cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy herbicides such as MCPA have been associated with mixingJIoading and disposal sites. Caution should be exercised when handling MCPA pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of groundwater supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing and transferring this pesticide will reduce the probability of spills. Placement of the mixingJIoading equipment on an impervious pad to contain spills will help prevent groundwater contamination. CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT When cleaning equipment, do not pour washwater on the ground; spray or drain over a large area away from wells and other water sources. NOTIFICATION MAR 1 1 Z005

Do not refill or transport damaged or leaking containers. Check for leaks after refilling and before transportation. If the container is not being refilled, return to the point of purchase. GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION USE PRECAUTIONS: MCPA Sodium Herbicide is injurious to most broadleaf plants. Salts are the least volatile fonns of MCPA and do not release enough vapors from treated areas to reduce yield of adjacent susceptible crops. This product is a salt of MCPA. Susceptible plants may, however, be injured by physical drift from the application of this product. Do not apply directly to or otherwise pennit even minute amounts (such as spray drift) to contact fruit trees, vegetables, flowers, omamentals, or other desirable plants susceptible to MCPA. DO NOT APPLY IN THE VICINITY OF COnON, GRAPES, TOBACCO OR TOMATOES. Do not use in or near a greenhouse. Do not spray when wind is blowing towards susceptible crops or ornamental plants. Use course sprays to minimize spray drift since, under certain weather conditions, fine spray droplets may drift a mile or more. A spray thickening agent, such as NALCO-TROL®, may be used with this product to aid in reducing spray drift. If used, follow all use recommendations and precautions on the product label. ® Nalco Chemical Company With ground equipment spray drift can be lessened by:

1. Keeping the spray boom as low as possible.

2. Applying 20 gallons or more of spray volume per acre.

3. Using large-droplet producing nozzles.

4. Using no more than 20 psi spray pressure at the nozzles.

5. Spraying only when wind velocity is low.

6. Stopping all spraying when wind exceeds 8 MPH. Do not use hollow cone-type nozzles or other nozzles that produce large amounts of fine spray droplets. With aerial equipment drift can be minimized by:

7. Using no more than 20 psi spray pressure at nozzles.

8. Using nozzle types and positions which do not produce fine spray droplets.

9. Using a spray boom no longer than 3/4 the wing or rotor span of the aircraft.

10. Spraying only when wind is less than 6MPH. Determine air movement and direction before foliar application. Use a smoke generator or other means at or near the application site for the detection of air movement, air stability or temperature inversions. Such a condition exists when there is little or no wind and air temperature is lower near the ground than at higher levels. Use appropriate drift control measures or avoid application when smoke is moving toward nearby desirable susceptible plants or sensitive areas. Excessive amounts of this herbicide in the soil may temporarily inhibit seed generation or plant growth. Violent windstorms may move soil particles. If MCPA is on soil particles and they are blown onto susceptible plants, visible symptoms may appear. Serious injury is unlikely. The hazard of movement of MCPA on dust is reduced if treated fields are irrigated or if rain occurs shortly after application. To avoid injury to desirable plants, do not handle or apply other agricultural chemicals with the same equipment used for MCPA, unless it has been thoroughly cleaned with a suitable chemical cleaner. Local conditions may affect the use of herbicides. Consult your State Agricultural Experiment Station of Extension Service Weed Specialists for advise in selecting treatments from this label to best fit local conditions. Be sure that the use of this product conforms to all applicable regulations. Apply this product only as specified on this label. WHERE TO APPLY: MCPA Sodium Herbicide is used to control broadleaf weeds in small grains, grasslands and pastures, established lawns and turf, grasses grown for seed, and many non­ crop areas. The product will kill or control the following weeds in addition to many other noxious plants susceptible to MCPA. More susceptible weeds (most areas): Arrowhead Beggartick Cocklebur Croton (goatweed) Goatsbeard Jimsonweed Lambsquarter Marshelder Mustards Pennycress Puncturevine Ragweed Shepherdspurse Sicklepod Stinkweed Water Plantain Witchweed Yellow Rocket (winter cress) and many other species. Less susceptible weeds: Burcucumber Buttercups Catsear Dandelion Hoary Cress Honeysuckle Pigweed Purslane Sow Thistle Stinging Nettle' Vetch White Top Wild Radish Nightshade Burdock Galinsoga Kochia Mint (dragonhead) Pepperweed (field) Redstem . Sneezeweed Canada Thistle HempneWe Plantains Russian Thistle Sunflower Silverleaf . 4/(p WHEN TO APPLY: Apply the product during warm weather when weeds are young and actively growing. Uniform spray coverage is necessary for best results. Generally the lower dosages listed will be satisfactory for young, succulent growth of sensitive weed species. For less sensitive species and under conditions where control is difficult, the higher dosages will be needed. HOW TO APPLY: PREPARING THE SPRAY: Mix the MCPA Sodium Herbicide with water, unless otherwise indicated on the label. Fill the mixing tank or spray tank with approximately Yo the amount of water to be used for spraying. Add the required amount of product with agitation. Add the remainder of the water while continuing to agitate. NOTE: adding oil, wetting agents, or other adjuvants to the spray may reduce selectivity to crops possibly causing crop damage. . Spraying Conditions: Use a moderate spray pressure of approximately 20 psi. Enough spray volume should be used to give good coverage of the weeds being sprayed. This is usually 5 to 30 gallons by ground application or 3 to 10 gallons by air. Higher spray volumes may be useful in some situations to provide better spray coverage when weeds are especially dense and/or to reduce spray drift. WEED CONTROL APPLICATIONS WEED CONTROL IN SMALL GRAINS: NOTE: Do not permit dairy animals, or meat animals being finished for slaughter, to forage or graze treated grain fields within two (2) weeks after treatment. Do not forage or graze meat animals on treated areas within seven (7) days of slaughter. Wheat, Barley, Oats and Rye not underseeded to Legumes: Use 1 to 3 pints of MCPA Sodium Herbicide per acre for the more susceptible weeds when grains are in the 3 to 5 leaf stage or up to early boot stage. Apply when weeds are very small for best results. Use up to 3 pints MCPA Sodium Herbicide per acre for the less susceptible weeds after crop has tillered, but not later than early boot stage. Do not apply during the boot to dough stage of the grain. Wheat, Barley, Oats and Rye underseeded in Alfalfa, Alsike, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Lespedeza, Red, White, or Ladino Clover: For emergency control of serious infestations of mustard, yellow rocket and other susceptible broadleaf weeds, apply Yo to 1 pint in not more than 5 to 10 gallons of water per acre. Make application after cereal is well tillered (4 to 8 inches tall) and before reaching boot stage. The nurse crop and weeds should provide a protecting canopy which, together with the use of low gallonage applied at low pressure, will reduce the risk of damage to the legumes. Do not use where small seeded legumes, especially vetch, sweet clover, trefoil or alfalfa, are seeded unless injury to them can be tolerated. There is also some risk to other legumes if only thinly protected by a canopy. Emergency treatment of perennial broadleaf weeds in wheat: Apply 6 pints per acre when weeds are approaching bud stage, but do not spray grain in the boot to dough stage. The 6 pint (1.5 pound acid equivalent) per acre application of any MCPA product can produce injury to wheat. Balance the severity of your weed problem against the possibility of crop damage. Where perennial weeds are scattered, spot treatment is suggested to minimize the extent of crop injury. Treat in the spring when grain is fully tillered and 8 to 10 inches tall.

· , GRASSES GROWN FOR SEED: Use 2 to 4 pints per acre in sufficient water to give adequate coverage. Use higher rate where weed stands are heavy. In established grasses apply in spring before head comes into boot and on seedling grass after grass has been tillered. On new seedling grass apply after grass has 5 leaves. Do not graze dairy animals on treated areas until seven (7) days after treatment. Do not graze meat animals on treated areas within seven (7) days of slaughter. Note: In weed control in grasses repeat treatment may be needed for less susceptible weeds. White clover and other legumes may be temporarily injured or killed. In soe areas, dichondra. bent. buffalo. carpet, and St. Augustine grasses may also be injured by the treatment. ESTABLISHED GRASSLANDS AND PASTURES: Use 2 to 6 pints per acre in sufficient water (10 to 100 gallons) to give thorough coverage. Use higher rate for Canada Thistle and other hard-te-kill weeds. Spray perennials in bud stage and re-growth in fall. Other weeds may be sprayed in spring or fall, when they are actively growing. Note: Alfalfa, Alsike, Red, Crimson, Sub clovers are injured by MCPA ESTABLISHED LAWN AND TURF: Use 2 fluid ounces in 3 to 5 gallons of water. Apply uniformly over 1000 square feet. For larger areas use 2 to 6 pints per acre in 10 to 100 gallons of water. Apply in the spring or fall when weeds are actively growing. Do not mow within two days before or after application. NON-CROP AREAS: Canada Thistle, White Top, Meadow Buttercup, Field Bindweed (Momingglory), and Texas Blueweed. For spot treatment use Yo pint in 3 to 4 gallons of water, or 1 Yo gallon of MCPA Sodium Herbicide per acre, and spray to wet weeds thoroughly when in bud to eay bloom and again in fall regrowth. Add 1 quart of wetting agent to each 100 gallons of spray solution use for high volume ground application. NOTE: on fallow land do not plant any crop for 3 months after treatment or until chemical has disappeared from soil. Do not forage or graze livestock on treated areas within 7 days of treatment.
