GENERAL INFORMATION
DO NOT APPLY THIS PRODUCT USING AERIAL SPRAY EQUIPMENT EXCEPT UNDER CONDITIONS AS SPECIFIED
WITHIN THIS LABEL OR CURRENT SUPPLEMENTAL LABELING ISSUED BY MANUFACTURER.
This product, a water soluble liquid, mixes readily with water to be applied as a foliar spray for the control or destruction of
most herbaceous plants. It may be applied through most standard industrial or field-type sprayers after dilution and '
thorough mixing with water in accordance with label instruction~. Hand-held sprayers mat~lso be _used. _
This product moves through the plant from the point of foliage contact to and into the root system. Visible effects on most
annual weeds occur within 2 to 4 days, but on most perennial weeds may not occur for 7 days or more. Extremely cool or
cloudy weather following treatment may slow activity of this product and delay visual effects of control. Visible effects are a
gradual wilting and yellowing of the plant which advances to complete browning of above-ground growth and deterioration of
underground plant parts.
Unless otherwise specified on this label, delay application until vegetation has emerged and reached the stages described
for control of such vegetation under the "WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of this label. Unemerged plants arising from
unattached underground rhizomes or root stocks of perennials will not be affected by the herbicide and will continue to
grow. For this reason, best control of most perennial weeds is obtained when treatment is made at late growth stages
approaching maturity.
Always use the higher rate of this product per acre within the recommended range when (1) weed growth is heavy or dense,
or (2) weeds are growing in an undisturbed (noncultivated) area.
Reduced or unacceptable control may result if weeds or brush are treated under poor growing conditions such as drought
stress, disease or insect damage. Reduced results may also occur when treating weeds or brush heavily covered with dust.
Reduced control may result when applications are made to annual or perennial weeds that have been mowed, grazed, or
cut, and have not been allowed to regrow to the specified stage for treatment.
Rainfall or irrigation occurring within 6 hours after application may reduce effectiveness. Heavy rainfall or irrigation within 2
hours after application may wash the chemical off the foliage and a repeat treatment may be required.
This product does not provide residual weed control. For subsequent residual weed control, it is recommended that a
residual herbicide program specified on this label be used. Read and carefully observe the precautionary sti!cments and
all other information appearing on the labels of all herbicides used. co, «, (
c ('
Mixing this product with herbicides or other materials not recommended in this label may restJlt ih geduced performance.
However, unless otherwise prohibited on this label or the label of an intended tank mix product,(th!~; p~oduct maIicbe applied
in combination with any herbicide registered for the same site, timing, and method of applic5tLort. Observe the most
restrictive label statements of various tank mix products used. LIABILITY FOR CROP IM,"IURN, HER3~~H)E NON

MANUFACTURER, BUYER AND ALL USERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL LOSS OR DAMAGE IN GGNNECTION c C
WITH THE USE OR HANDLING OF MIXTURES OF THIS PRODUCT OR OTHER MATERIALS THAT'-ARE NOT
EXPRESSLY RECOMMENDED IN THIS LABEL.
For best results, spray coverage should be uniform and complete. Do not spray weed foliage to the point of runoff.
DOMESTIC ANIMALS: This product is considered to be relatively nontoxic to dogs and other domestic animals; however,
ingestion of this product or large amounts of freshly sprayed vegetation may result in temporary gastrointestinal irritation
4
(vomiting, diarrhea, colic, etc.). If su~ sym ptoms are observed, provide the a(mal with plenty of fl uids to prevent 1 / £ b
dehydration. Call a veterinarian if symptoms persist for more than 24 hours.
ATTENTION
AVOID DRIFT. EXTREME CARE MUST BE USED WHEN APPLYING THIS PRODUCT TO PREVENT INJURY TO
DESIREABLE PLANTS AND CROPS.
Do not allow the herbicide solution to mist, drip, drift or splash onto desirable vegetation since minute quantities of this
product can cause severe-damage-or desfructionto tnecrop, planls brother areas on whicn lreatmenfwasil6tiilte-naea.
The likelihood of injury occurring from the use of this product is greatest when winds are gusty or in excess of 5 miles per
hour or when other conditions, including lesser wind velocities, will allow spray drift to occur. When spraying, avoid
combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in splatter or fine particles (mist) which are likely to drift. AVOID
APPLYING AT EXCESSIVE SPEED OR PRESSURE.
NOTE: Use of this product in any manner not consistent with this label may result in injury to persons, animals or crops, or
other unintended consequences. When not in use, keep container closed to prevent spills and contamination.
MIXING, ADDITIVES AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
APPLY THESE SPRAY SOLUTIONS IN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND CALIBRATED EQUIPMENT CAPABLE OF
DELIVERING DESIRED VOLUMES. DO NOT APPLY WHEN WIND OR OTHER CONDITIONS FAVOR DRIFT. HAND
GUN APPLICATIONS SHOULD BE PROPERLY DIRECTED TO AVOID SPRAYING DESIRABLE PLANTS.
NOTE: REDUCED RESULTS MAY OCCUR IF WATER CONTAINING SOIL IS USED, SUCH AS WATER FROM POND
AND UNLINED DITCHES.
MIXING
This product mixes readily with water. Mix spray solutions of this product as follows: Fill the mixing or spray tank with the
required amount of water. Add the specified amount of this product (see the "DIRECTIONS FOR USE" and "WEEDS
CONTROLLED" sections of this label) near the end of the filling process and mix well. Use caution to avoid siphoning back
into the carrier source. Use approved anti-back-siphoning devices where required by state or local regulations. During
mixing and application, foaming of the spray solution may occur. To prevent or minimize foam, avoid the use of mechanical
agitators, terminate by-pass and return lines at the bottom of the tank and, if needed, use an approved anti-foam or
defoaming agent.

Maintain good agitation at all times until the contents of the tank are sprayed. If the spray mixture is allowed to seUle,
thorough agitation is required to resuspend the mixture before spraying is resumed.
Keep by-pass line on or near the bottom of tank to minimize foaming. Screen size in nozzle or line strainers should be no
~~fio~r than~Q mesh. Carefully select proper nozzle to avoid spraying a fine mist. For best results with conventional ground
application equTpment, use flattar, nozzles. -~~- - ~ -- - - ~
Clean sprayer and parts immediately after using this product by thoroughly flushing with water.
ADDITIVES
SURFACTANTS
Nonionic surfactants which are labeled for use with herbicides may be used. The surfactant must contain 80% or more
active ingredient. Avoid a surfactant if its label does not adequately define the active surfactant content. When adding
surfactant, use 0.375 percent concentration (1.5 quarts per 100 gallons of spray solution). Read and carefully observe
surfactant precautionary statements and other information appearing on the surfactant label.
AMMONIUM SULFATE
The addition of 1 to 2 percent dry ammonium sulfate by weight or 8.5 to 17 pounds per 100 gallons of water may increase
the performance of this product, and this product plus 2,4-0, Banvel, dicamba or residual herbicide tank mixtures on annual
and perennial weeds. The improvement in performance may be apparent when environmental stress is a concern. Low
quality ammonium sulfate may contain material that will not readily dissolve, which could result in nozzle tip plugging. To
determine quality, perform a jar test by adding 1/3 cup of ammonium sulfate to 1 gallon of water and agitate for 1 minute. If
undissolved sediment is observed, predissolve the ammonium sulfate in water and filter prior to addition to the spray tank. If
ammonium sulfate is added directly to the spray tank, add slowly with agitation. Adding too quickly may clog outlet line.
Ensure that ammonium sulfate is completely dissolved in the spray tank before adding herbicides or surfactant. Thoroughly
rinse the spray system with clean water after use to reduce corrosion. Agriculturally-approved adjuvants containing
equivalent amounts of ammonium sulfate may be used instead of dry ammonium sulfate.
NOTE: The use of ammonium sulfate as an additive does not fulfill the need for adding non ionic surfactant to the herbicide
mixture. t

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT , l ~ ( l ~
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equi;J:r.or.:t,·and
weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible tQrc Gonsidering
all these factors when making decisions. The following drift management requirements must be followed to 8veij: off-target
drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications,
public health uses or to applications using dry formulations.
1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed ~ the length of the wingspan or rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45
degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed.
9
( ( fWbb
~----------------------~ -----------------------~ --------------------~
The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory
Information.
Importance of Droplet Size
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the
largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not
prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see "Wind",
~~~ __ ''I!!mperat''tr~ ~ml!il!m[qity", and "T~IJlPerCiture Inver~ion" section of this label).
Controlling Droplet Size
Volume: Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce
larger droplets.
Pressure: Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not
improve canopy penetration. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing
pressure.
Number of nozzles: Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
Nozzle Orientation: Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released backwards, parallel to the airstream will produce larger
droplets than other orientations. Significant deflection from the horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift
potential.
Nozzle Type: Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray
angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce
larger droplets than other nozzle types.
Boom Length: For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than % of the wingspan or rotor length
may further reduce drift without reducing swath width.
Application: Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a
greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of
droplets to evaporation and wind.
Swath Adjustment
When applications are made with a cross-wind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind
edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath
adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.).
Wind
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 10 mph. However, many factors including droplet size and equipment
type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mps due to variable wind direction
and high inversion potential. Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiH( with local
wind patterns and how they affect drift. l l l l C
Temperature and Humidity llll '-- ( <- L ~

fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an
aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a connected cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates
an inversion, while smoke that moves upwards and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
Sensitive Areas

.---------------------~ ----------------------~ --------------------~
The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of
water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away
from the sensitive areas).

BROADCAST EQUIPMENT
For control of annual or perennial weeds listed on this label using broadcast equipment· Use the specified rates of
this product in 3 to 40 gallons of water per acre as a broadcast spray unless otherwise specified on this label. See the
"WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of this label for specific rates. As density of weeds increases, spray volume should be
increased within the recommended range to ensure complete coverage. Carefully select proper nozzle to avoid spraying a
fine mist. For best results with ground application equipment, use flat fan nozzles. Check for even distribution of spray
droplets.
CONTROLLED DROPLET APPLICATIN (CDA)
The rate of this product applied per acre by vehicle-mounted CDA equipment must not be less than the amount specified in
this label when applied by conventional broadcast equipment. For vehicle-mounted CDA equipment, apply 3 to 15 gallons
of water per acre.
For the control of labeled annual weeds with hand-held CDA units, apply a 20 percent solution of this product at a flow rate
of 2 fluid ounces per minute and a walking speed of 1.5 MPH (1 quart per acre). For the control of labeled perennial weeds,
apply a 20 to 40 percent solution of this product at a flow rate of 2 fluid ounces per minute and a walking speed of 0.75 mph
(2 to 4 quarts per acre).
Controlled droplet application equipment produces a spray pattern which is not easily visible. Extreme care must be
exercised to avoid spray or drift contacting the foliage or any other green tissue of desirable vegetation, as damage or
destruction may result.

SELECTIVE EQUIPMENT
This product may be applied through a recirculating spray system, a shielded applicator, or a wiper applicator after dilution
and through mixing with water to listed weeds growing in any noncrop site specified on this label and only in specified
cropping systems.
• A recirculating spray system directs the spray solution onto weeds growing above desirable vegetation, while spray
solution not intercepted by weeds is collected and returned to the spray tank for reuse.
• A shielded applicator directs the herbicide solution onto weeds, while shielding desirable vegetation from the
herbicide
• A wiper applicator applies the herbicide solution onto weeds by rubbing the weed with an absorbent material
containing the herbicide solution.
AVOID CONTACT WITH DESIRABLE VEGETATION.
Contact of the herbicide solution with the desirable vegetation may result in damage or destruction. Applicators used
above desired vegetation should be adjusted so that the lowest spray stream or wiper contact point is at least 2 inches
above the desirable vegetation. Droplets, mist, foam, or splatter of the herbicide solution settling on desirable
vegetation may result in discoloration, stunting or destruction.
Applications made above the crops (such as wiper applications) should be made when the weeds are a minimum of 6
inches above the desirable vegetation. Better results may be obtained when more of the weed is exposed to the
herbicide solution. Weeds not contacted by the herbicide solution will not be affected. This may occur in dense clumps,
severe infestations or when the height of the weeds varies so that not a" weeds are contacted. In these instances,
repeat treatment may be necessary. , : l

'WIPER APPLICATORS
Wiper applicators are devices that physically wipe appropriate amounts of this product directly onto the weed.
Equipment must be designed, maintained and operated to prevent the herbicide solution from contacting desirable
vegetation. Operate this equipment at ground speeds no greater than 5 mph. Performance may be improved by
reducing speed in areas of heavy weed infestations to ensure adequate wiper saturation. Better results may be
obtained if 2 applications are made in opposite directions.
rl/t b
Avoid leakage or dripping onto desirable vegetation. Adjust height of applicator to ensure adequate contact with weeds.
Keep wiping surfaces clean. Be aware that, on sloping ground, the herbicide solution may migrate, causing dripping on
the lower end and drying of the wicks on the upper end of a wiper applicator.
Do not use wiper equipment when weeds are wet.
Mix only the amount of solution to be used during a 1-day period, as reduced activity may result from use of leftover
solutions. Clean wiper parts immediately after using this product by thoroughly flushing with water.
Do not add surfactant to the herbicide solution.
For Rope or Sponge Wick Applicators - Mix 1 gallon of this product in 2 gallons of water to prepare a 33 percent
solution. Apply this solution to weeds listed in this "WIPER APPLICATORS" section.
For Porous-Plastic Applicators - Solutions ranging from 33 to 100 percent of this product in water may be used in

This product is a nonselective herbicide that is diluted and applied to the foliage of actively growing weeds as a spot or
broadcast application. It is absorbed by the leaves and moves throughout the stem and roots to control the entire plant.
Visible symptoms may require a week or more to appear, with burndown usually occurring in 2 to 4 weeks. Symptoms are a
gradual wilting and yellowing of the sprayed plant followed by deterioration of both shoots and roots. This product has no
herbicidal activity in the soil and will not wash or leach to affect nearby vegetation. Any ornamental species may be planted
in treated areas 7 days or more after application. For most effective results, delay mowing, clipping, tilling, planting or
sodding of treated areas for at least 7 days after application. This allows time for this product to move within the plant.

Pine damage may occur or can be accehtuated if treatment takes place when young trees are under stress from drought,
flood water, insects or disease.
Read and observe the cautionary statements and all other information appearing on the labels of all herbicides used.
NOTE TO USER
This product must not be used in areas where adverse impact on federally designated endangered/threatened plant or
aquatic species is likely.
Prior to making applications, the user of this product must determine that no such species are located in or immediately
adjacent to the area to be treated.
CUT STUMP TREATMENTS
Woody vegetation may be controlled by treating freshly cut stumps of trees and resprouts with this product. Apply this
product using suitable equipment to ensure coverage of the entire cambium. Cut vegetation close to the soil surface. Apply
a 50 to 100 percent solution of this product to the freshly-cut surface immediately after cutting. Delays in application may
result in reduced performance. For best results, applications should be made during periods of active growth and full leaf
expansion.
When used according to directions for cut stump application, this product will CONTROL, PARTIALLY CONTROL or
SUPPRESS many types of woody brush and tree species, some of which are listed below.
Alder
Alnus spp.
Eucalyptus
Eucalyptus spp.
Madrone
Arbutus menziesii
Oak
Quercus spp.

Willow
Salix spp.
INJECTION AND FRILL APPLICATIONS
Woody vegetation may be controlled by injection or frill application of this product. Apply this product using suitable
equipment which must penetrate into the living tissue. Apply the equivalent of 1 ml of this product per each 2 to 3 inches of
trunk diameter (DBH). This is best achieved by applying a 50 to 100 percent concentration of this material either to a
continuous frill around the tree or as cuts evenly spaced around the tree below all branches. As tree diameter l~C(reases in
size, better results are achieved by applying diluted material to a continuous frill or more closely spaced cuttings. Avoid
application techniques that allow runoff to occur from frill or cut areas in species that exude sap freely after fr(ils(o.r~Gutting. In
species such as this, make frill or cut at an oblique angle so as to produce a cupping effect and 11:;'e';u~diluted material. For
best results, application should be made during periods of active growth and after full leaf expan'sion. L ( ~ l

TURFGRASSES AND GRASSES FOR SEED PRODUCTION
PREPLANT AND RENOVATION
When applied as directed for "NONCROP USES", under conditions described, this product control most existing vegetation
prior to the planting or renovation of either turfgrasses or grass seed production areas.
For specific rates of application and instructions for control of various annual and perennial weeds, and woody brush and
-- -- -- trees~ee -fhe"WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of this laDel.
For maximum control of existing vegetation, delay planting to determine if any regrowth from escaped underground plant
parts occurs. Where repeat treatments are necessary, sufficient regrowth must be attained prior to application. For warm
season grasses, such as bermudagrass, summer or fall applications provide best control.
DO NOT DISTURB SOIL OR UNDERGROUND PLANT PARTS BEFORE TREATMENT. Tillage or renovation techniques
such as vertical mowing, coring or slicing should be delayed for 7 days after application to allow proper translocation into
underground plant parts.
TURFGRASSES
Where existing vegetation is growing in a field or unmowed situation, apply this product to actively growing weeds at the
stages of growth listed in the "WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of this label.
Where existing vegetation is growing under mowed turfgrass management, apply this product after omitting at least one
regular mowing to allow sufficient growth for good interception of the spray.
Desirable turfgrass may be planted following the above procedures.
GRASSES FOR SEED PRODUCTION
Apply this product to actively growing weeds at the stages of growth recommended in the "WEEDS CONTROLLED"
section of this label prior to planting or renovation of turf or forage grass areas grown for seed production.
DO NOT feed or graze treated areas within 8 weeks after application.

For improved burndown, this product may be tank mixed with 2,4-D (Weedar®, Weedone® and others) or dicamba.
For difficulHo-control annual weeds such as fall panicum, barnyardgrass, crabgrass, shattercane and broad leaf signalgrass
up to 2 inches tall, and Pennsylvania smartweed up to 6 inches tall, apply this product at 2 pints per acre in these tank
mixtures. For other labeled annual weeds, apply 1 to 1-1/2 pints of this product per acre when weeds are less than 6 inches
tall, and 2 to 3 pints when weeds are over 6 inches tall.
This product may be tank-mixed with the listed products provided the product tank-mixed is registered for use on this site.
Do not plant corn until at least 7 days after application of 2,4-D or dicamba.
The tank mixes listed in this section are not registered in California.
Hooded Sprayers - This product may be used through hooded sprayers for weed control between the rows of corn. Only
hooded sprayers that completely enclose the spray pattern may be used.
A hooded sprayer is a type of shielded applicator. The spray pattern is completely enclosed on the top and all 4 sides by a
hood, thereby shielding the crop from the spray solution. This equipment must be set up and operated in a manner that
avoids bouncing or raising the hoods off the ground in any way. If the hoods are raised, spray particles may escape and
come into contact with crop, causing damage or destruction of the crop. The spray hoods must be operated on the ground
or skimming across the ground. Tractor speed must be adjusted to avoid bouncing of the spray hoods. Avoid operation on
rough or sloping ground where the spray hoods might be raised off the ground.
When applying to corn that is grown on raised beds, ensure that the hood is designed to completely enclose,the spray
solution. If necessary, extend the front and rear flaps of the hoods to reach the ground in deep furrows. L L (l C
