r Aquatic Weed Control Fish breathe dissolved oxygen in the water and decaying weeds also use oxygen When treating continuous dense weed masses it may be appropriate to treat only part of the infestation at a time For example apply the product in lanes separated by untreated strips that can be treated after vegetation in treated lanes has disintegrated During the growing season weeds decompose in a 2 to 3 week period following treatment Begin treatment along the shore and proceed outwards in bands to allow fish to move into untreated areas Waters having limited and less dense weed infestations may not require partial treatments Groundwater Contamination Most 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 D 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 This product may cause injury to desirable plants by contacting foliage stems or roots Use care in all applications to avoid surface water or soil transport to non target plant areas Avoid contamination of irrigation or domestic water supplies Avoid applications in the vicinity of susceptible plants or when winds are blowing toward nearby susceptible plants or when temperature inversions are expected Avoid direct application or spray drift to susceptible plants since very small quantities of this herbicide can cause severe injury in the growing or dormant period Plants contacted may be killed or suffer significant injury resulting in grade or yield losses Do not apply in greenhouses Use an agriculturally accepted drift retardant designed to increase droplet size CHEMIGATION PROHIBITION Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system Filename Hardball (5905 549) 080312 CLN doc

r r i//f i MIXING INSTRUCTIONS HardBall is a macro emulsifiable concentrate formulation intended for dilution in water for many applications For certain specified applications liquid fertilizer or oil may replace part or all of the water as diluent If dry flowable (DF) wettable powder (WP) or flowable (F) tank mix products are to be used these should generally be added to the spray tank first Refer to the mixing directions on the labels of the tank mix products For best results thoroughly clean sprayer immediately after use by flushing system with water and heavy duty detergent such as Wipe Out® Water Spray To prepare a water spray mixture fill clean spray tank about 1/2 to 2/3 full with clean water With agitation turned on add the required amount of HardBall Continue agitation while adding balance of water and during spray operations NOTE In water this product forms a macro emulsion and can separate upon prolonged standing If spray mixture is allowed to stand agitate again to assure uniformity Liquid Fertilizer Spray Due to increased risk of crop foliage burn with fertilizer use only as recommended on this label or supplemental labeling distributed for HardBall Use fertilizer rate recommended locally Fill clean spray tank about 1/2 to 2/3 full with liquid nitrogen fertilizer (UAN or urea) solution Add required amount of product with vigorous agitation running Continue agitation while adding balance of liquid fertilizer and during spray operations Application should be made immediately Overnight storage of mixture is not recommended Application during very cold (near freezing) temperatures is not advisable because of the likelihood of crop injury This product is formulated to be compatible with most liquid nitrogen solutions however due to variability in fertilizers users may wish to perform a jar compatibility test before large scale mixing Oil Spray Use only as recommended on this label or supplemental labeling distributed for HardBall Fill clean spray tank about 1/2 to 2/3 full with an oil approved for agricultural use (diesel oil fuel oil stove oil etc) Add required amount of product with agitation turned on Continue agitation while adding balance of oil The resulting mixture is a solution and will generally remain uniform without agitation once mixed However agitation is suggested if available Do not allow any water to get into the spray mixture to avoid formation of an invert emulsion (mayonnaise consistency) Water Spray With Oil Use only as recommended on this label or supplemental labeling distributed for HardBall Where a combination of water and oil diluent is recommended the use of emulsifiable crop oil or crop oil concentrate is suggested since mild agitation will be sufficient Mix in the sequence of water product and oil If diesel or other non emulsified oils listed above under Oil Spray are desired for use with water add no more than 1 quart of such oil per 1 gallon of water and agitate vigorously until tank is emptied If possible premix non emulsified oil with this product and add this premix to a mostly filled spray tank with agitation on Follow these procedures carefully to avoid formation of an invert emulsion (mayonnaise consistency) APPLICATION PROCEDURES Use calibrated spray equipment for all types of applications to assure applying the recommended amount of spray mixture per acre Use sufficient spray volume within the ranges specified to obtain good coverage of weeds HardBall is absorbed sufficiently within 1 hour after application to provide adequate weed control Ground Broadcast Spray Unless otherwise specified in the appropriate crop or non crop directions apply in 5 or more gallons of spray solution per acre Use enough spray volume to provide uniform coverage of weeds taking into account the amount of vegetation present and the type of application equipment to be used As crop canopy and weed density increase a higher spray volume may be needed for equivalent coverage and weed control Typical crop applications utilize 10 to 50 gallons of spray solution per acre while certain high volume non crop applications may utilize more than 100 Filename Hardball (5905-549) 080312 CLN doc \Q
