Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. DO NOT con taminate water when disposing of equipment wash waters or rinsate.
This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. 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. 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 exer cised when handling 2,4-0 pesticides at such sites to pre vent 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.

General Information BAS 452 18 H Herbicide is a selective postemergence her bicide for controlling a wide spectrum of annual, biennial, and perennial broadleaf weeds and brush in grass forages and selected row crops. Mode of Action BAS 45218 H contains two active ingredients: dicamba and 2,4-D. BAS 452 18 H is readily absorbed by plants through shoot and root uptake, translocates throughout the plant's system, and accumulates in areas of active growth. BAS 452 18 H interferes with the plant's growth hormones (auxins) resulting in death of many broad leaf weeds. Cleaning Spray Equipment Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner according to the manufacturer's directions, and then triple rinsing the equip ment before and after applying this product. Application Instructions Apply BAS 452 18 H at the rates and growth stages listed in Table 1 and Table 2 as follows unless instructed differently by Food/Feed Crop-specific Information or Nonfood/Feed Use-specific Information. Applications can be made to actively growing weeds as aerial, broadcast, band, or spot spray applications. BAS 45218 H may be applied using water or sprayable fluid fertilizer as a carrier. Sprayable fluid fertilizer may be used as the carrier in pre plant or preemergence uses for all crops listed on this label. Postemergence uses with sprayable fluid fertilizer may be made on pasture, hayland, or wheat crops only. The most effective application rate and timing varies based on the target weed species (refer to Table 1 and Table 2). In mixed populations of weeds, the correct rate is determined by the weed species requiring the highest rate. Delaying application permits weeds to exceed the maximum size stated and will prevent adequate control.
All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or sur rogates. Irrigation In irrigated areas, it may be necessary to irrigate before treat ment to ensure active weed growth. Spray Coverage Weeds must be thoroughly covered with spray. Oense leaf canopies shelter smaller weeds and can prevent adequate spray coverage. Sensitive Crop Precautions BAS 45218 H Herbicide may cause injury to desirable trees and plants, particularly beans, cotton, flowers, fruit trees, grapes, ornamentals, peas, potatoes, soybeans,' sun flowers, tobacco, tomatoes and other broad leaf plants when contacting their roots, stems or foliage. These plants are most sensitive to BAS 452 18 H during their development or growing stage. DO NOT treat areas where either possible downward movement into the soil or surface washing may cause contact of BAS 452 18 H with the roots of desirable plants such as trees and shrubs. Avoid making applications when spray particles may be car ried by air currents to areas »,here sensitive crops and plants are growing. DO NOT spray near sensitive plants if wind is gusty or in excess of 5 mph and moving in the direction of nearby sensitive crops, or if a temperature inversion exists. However, always make applications when there is some air movement to determine the direction and distance of possi ble spray drift. Leave an adequate buffer zone between area to be treated and sensitive plants. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift out of the target area than fine sprays. Agriculturally-approved drift-reducing additives may be used. DO NOT use aerial equipment or apply BAS 45218 H when sensitive crops and plants are growing in the vicinity of area to be treated. 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, airblast, chemiga tion) can influence pesticide drift. The applicator must evalu ate all factors and make appropriate adjustments when applying this product. Droplet Size Use coarse sprays (volume median diameter of 400 microns or more) to avoid potential herbicide drift. Select nozzles that are designed to produce minimal amounts of fine spray par ticles (less than 200 microns). Examples of nozzles designed to produce coarse sprays via ground applications are DelavanGi> Raindrops, Spraying Systems XR (excluding 110 tips) flat fans, Turbo TeeJetGi>, Turbo FloodJe~, or large capacity flood nozzles such as 010, TK1 0, or greater capacity tips. Wind Speed When applying sprays that contain 2,4-0 as the sole active ingredient, or when applying sprays that contain 2,4-0 mixed with active ingredients that require a coarse or coarser spray, 5 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. DO NOT apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Only apply this product if the wind direction favors on-target dep osition 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 tem perature inversions or stable atmospheric conditions. Other State and Local Requirements Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regarding the application of 2,4-0 herbicides. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. Susceptible Plants DO NOT apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, forage, or other plantings that might be dam aged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or con sumption. Susceptible crops include, but are not limited to, cotton, okra, flowers, grapes (in growing stage), fruit trees (foliage), soybeans (vegetative stage), ornamentals, sunflow ers, tomatoes, beans, and other vegetables, or tobacco. Small amounts of spray drift that might not be visible may injure susceptible broad leaf plants. Aerial Application Methods and Equipment Water Volume: Use 3 to 10 gallons of water per acre. Use the higher spray volume when treating dense or tall vegeta tion. Application Equipment: Select nozzles designed to pro duce minimal amounts of fine spray particles. Make applica tions at the lowest safe height to reduce the exposure of spray droplets to evaporation and wind. All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and cali brated using appropriate carriers or surrogates. 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. For ground boom application: DO NOT apply with a noz zle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy.' '"
The applicator must follow the most restrictive use cautions to avoid drift hazards, including those found in this labeling as well as applicable state and local regulations and ordinances. DO NOT use aerial equipment if spray particles can be car ried by the wind into areas where sensitive crops or plants are growing or when temperature inversions exist. 6

3 For improved root kill of woody species such as mesquite, spray 4 pints BAS 45218 H per acre each year for 3 consecutive years. For increasedcontrol of weeds such as blackberry and dewberry, BAS 452 18 H may be tank mixed with Ally" herbicide (0.1 to 0.2 ounce per acre), if labeled for the use site. " Under dense populations, a second application may be needed the following growing season. S Not for use in California. 10
Ground Application (Banding) When applying BAS 452 18 H Herbicide by banding, deter mine the amount of herbicide and water volume needed using the following formula: Bandwidth in inches Broadcast rate Banding herbicide Row width in inches x rate per acre per acre Bandwidth in inches Broadcast Banding water Row width in inches x volume per acre volume per acre . Ground Application (Broadcast) Water Volume: Use 5 to 40 gallons of spray solution per broadcast acre for optimal performance. Use the higher spray volume when treating dense or tall vegetation. Application Equipment: Select nozzles designed to pro duce minimal amounts of fine spray particles. Spray with nozzles as close to the weeds as is practical for good weed coverage. Spot or Small Area Application BAS 452 18 H may be applied to individual clumps or small areas of undesirable vegetation using handgun or similar types of application equipment. Apply diluted sprays to allow complete wetting (up to runoff) of foliage and stems. For knapsack or other small capacity sprayers, prepare a solu tion of BAS 45218 H in water according to Table 3 (assum ing that the spot treatment rate equates to 60 gallons per acre on the broadcast basis). Adding a surfactant (0.5% by volume) can help improve control. For example, 5 gallons (40 pints or 640 fluid ounces) of her bicide solution would require 0.2 pints (3.2 fluid ounces) of surfactant. DO NOT make spot treatments in addition to broadcast or band treatments. Application Equipment: Select nozzles designed to pro duce minimal amounts of fine spray particles. Spray with nozzles as close to the weeds as is practical for good weed coverage. Table 3. Knapsack Sprayer Dilution Instructions Sprayer Capacity Amount of BAS 45218 H Herbicide to add to (gallons of water) the spray tank 1 gallon 1 fluid ounce' 3 gallons 3 fluid ounces 5 gallons 5 fluid ounces '1 fluid ounce = 2 tablespoons Additives To improve burn down of emerged weeds, surfactants and/or low use rate of liquid fertilizers (28-0-0, 32-0-0) or crop oil concentrate (COG) may be used with BAS 45218 H or BAS 45218 H tank mixes applied after the weeds have emerged. Crop oil concentrate is for nonfood/feed crop uses only. DO NOT apply tank mixes that include ammonium sul fate (AMS) or crop oil concentrate to any food/feed crop use listed on this label. For food/feed crop uses, DO NOT use 11 liquid fertilizers that contain AMS as a source of nitrogen because tolerances in commodities derived from the crop may contain residues that exceed established tolerances. Consult your local BASF representative for recommendations for your area. For additional information, see Compatibility Test for Mix Components. Oil Concentrate A crop oil concentrate must contain either a petroleum or vegetable oil base and must meet ALL of the following criteria: • Nonphytotoxic • Contain only EPA-exempt ingredients • Provide good mixing quality in the jar test • Successful in local experience The exact composition of suitable products will vary; howev er, vegetable and petroleum oil concentrates should contain emulsifiers to provide good mixing quality. Highly refined veg etable oils have proven more satisfactory than unrefined veg etable oils. For additional information, see Compatibility Test for Mix Components. . Adjuvants containing crop oil concentrates may be used for preplant, preemergence and between cropping applications. DO NOT use crop oil concentrate for postemergence appli cations in food/feed crops (Le., sorghum, grass (hay or silage), pastures, rangeland, sugarcane and wheat). Nitrogen Source Sprayable liquid fertilizers: Use one quart of sprayable liq uid fertilizers (28-0-0, 32-0-0) per acre. DO NOT use brass or aluminum nozzles when spraying fertilizers. Nonionic Surfactant The standard label recommendation is 2 to 4 pints of an 80% active nonionic spray surfactant per 100 gallons of water. For certain weeds, use a higher spray surfactant rate.

Read and follow the applicable Restrictions and Limitations and Directions For Use on all products involved in tank mixing. The most restrictive labeling applies to tank mixes. Physical incompatibility, reduced weed control, or crop injury may result from mixing BAS 452 18 H with other pesticides (fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, or miticides), additives, or fertilizers. BASF does not recommend using tank mixes other than those listed on BASF labeling. Local agricultural authorities may be a source of information when using other than BASF recommended tank mixes. Compatibility Test for Mix Components Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility jar test. For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3.3 cups (800 ml) of water. For other spray volumes, adjust according ly. Only use water from the intended source at the source temperature. Add components in the sequence indicated in Mixing Order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint of recommended label rate per acre. Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between component additions. When the components have all been added to the jar, let the solution stand for 15 minutes. Evaluate the solution for uni formity and stability. The spray solution should not have free oil on the surface, nor fine particles that precipitate to the bottom, nor thick (c1abbered) texture. If the spray solution is not compatible, repeat the compatibility test with the addi tion of a suitable compatibility agent. If the solution is then compatible, use the compatibility agent as directed on its label. If the solution is still incompatible, DO NOT mix the ingredients in the same tank. Mixing Order If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after each compo nent has been added. Maintain constant agitation during application.
- Water*. Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer tank 1/2 full of clean water.
- Agitation. Maintain constant agitation throughout mixing and application.
- Products in PYA bags. Place any product contained in water-soluble PYA bags into the mixing tank. Wait until all water-soluble PYA bags have fully dissolved and the prod uct is evenly mixed in the spray tank before continuing.
- Water-dispersible products (such as dry flowables, wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or sus po emulsions).
- Water-soluble products (such as BAS 452 18 H).
- Emulsifiable concentrates (such as oil concentrate when applicable).
- Water-soluble additives (such as liquid fertilizers [28-0-0, 32-0-0] when applicable).
- Remaining quantity of water. • If sprayable fluid fertilizer is used as the carrier, BAS 452 18 H must be diluted with a minimum of 5 parts water to 1 part BAS 45218 H . Then add 0.25% to 0.5% volume/volume of a nonionic surfactant to the dilution before adding it to the sprayable fluid fertilizer to reduce the concern for compatibility problems with this mix. Always perform the Compatibility Test for Mix Components before mixing into the spray tank. Also, when using a sprayable fluid fertilizer as t~e carrier, any product contained in PYA bags must first be completely dissolved in water before the contents can be added to the fertilizer mix. Restrictions and Limitations • Maximum seasonal use rate: Refer to Table 5. • Preharvest Interval (PHI): Refer to Food/Feed Crop specific Information • Restricted-entry Interval (REI): 48 hours • Crop Rotational Restrictions: 12 The interval between application and planting rotational crop is given below. Always exclude counting days when the ground is frozen. Planting at intervals less than speci fied below may result in crop injury. Moisture is essential for the degradation of this herbicide in soil. If dry weather pre vails, use cultivation to allow herbicide contact with moist soil.
Planting/replanting restrictions for BAS 452 18 H Herbicide applications of 6 pints per acre or less: No rotational cropping restrictions apply at 120 days or more following application. Additionally, for annual crop uses in this label including sorghum, follow the preplant use directions in Food/Feed Crop-specific Information. For barley, oat, wheat, and other grass seedings, the inteNal between appli cation and planting is 10 days per pint per acre. Planting/replanting restrictions for applications of more than 6 pints and up to 8 pints of BAS 45218 H per acre: Corn, sorghum, cotton (east of the Rocky Mountains) and all other crops grown in areas with 30" or more of annual rainfall may be planted 120 days or more after application. Barley, oat, wheat, and other grass seed ings may be planted if the inteNal from application to plant ing is 10 days per pint per acre east of the Mississippi River and 15 days per pint per acre west of the Mississippi River. For all other crops in areas with less than 30" of annual rain fall, the inteNal between application and planting is 180 days or more. Rainfast period: Rainfall or irrigation occurring within 4 hours after postemergence applications may reduce the effectiveness of BAS 45218 H. Stress: DO NOT apply to crops under stress, such as stress due to lack of moisture, hail damage, flooding, herbi cide injury, mechanical injury, or widely fluctuating tempera tures, because unsatisfactory control may result. DO NOT apply to crops that show injury (leaf phytotoxicity or plant stunting) produced by any other prior herbicide applications because this injury may be enhanced or pro longed. DO NOT apply through any type of irrigation equipment. DO NOT contaminate irrigation ditches or water used for domestic purposes. This product cannot ,be used to formulate or reformulate any other pesticide product. 13

Food/Feed Crop-specific Information Pastures, Rangeland and Grass (Hay, Silage) BAS 452 18 H Herbicide is recommended for use for pasture (including pasture grown for hay), rangeland and grass grown for hay or silage. ' If grass is to be cut for hay, Agricultural Use Requirements for the Worker Protection Standard are applicable. DO NOT cut forage for hay within 7 days of application. Refer to Table 1 and Table 2 for rate selection based on targeted weed or brush species. Some weed species will require tank mixes for adequate control. Rates above 4 pints of BAS 452 18 H per acre are for spot treatments only. Limited to 2 applications per year, DO NOT exceed a total of 8 pints of BAS 452 18 H per treated acre during a growing season. Minimum of 30 days is required between applications. Uses described in this section also pertain to small grains (such as barley, corn, forage sorghum, oats, rye, Sudangrass, or wheat) grown for pasture, hay, and silage only. Newly seeded areas, including small grains grown for pasture or hay, may be injured if rates of BAS 452 18 H greater than 2 pints per acre are applied. In newly established hybrid Bermudagrass, Pangolagrass, and stargrasses (Cynodon spp.), use 2 to 4 pints of BAS 452 18 H per acre to control or suppress weeds after planting vegetative propagules (stolons) of hybrid Bermudagrasses. In addition to the weeds listed in Table 1 and Table 2, this rate of BAS 452 18 H will control or suppress annual sedges, broadleaf signalgrass, crabgrass, and goosegrass. For susceptible annual and biennial broad leaf weeds DO NOT exceed 2.75 pints per acre per application. Best results will be obtained if BAS 452 18 H is applied at the germinating stage of weeds. Under favorable conditions, this is usually 7 to 10 days after planting these grasses. Reduced control can be expected if weeds are allowed to reach 1" in height before application or if germination of weeds occurs 1 0 days after application. DO NOT use on bentgrass, susceptible grass pastures (such as carpetgrass, buffalograss, or St. Augustinegrass), les pedeza, wild winter peas, vetch, clover, and alfalfa pastures as injury will occur. When perennial weeds are reaching maturity, mowing and allowing some regrowth will enhance control. Difficult to control weeds and brush may require repeat applications. For pasture renovations, wait 3 weeks per quart (2 pints) of BAS 452 18 H used per acre before interseeding or injury may occur. If grasses are grown for seed or for seed-down purposes, DO NOT apply after grass reaches the joint stage. For program lands, such as Conservation Reserve Program, consult program rules to determirie whether grass or hay may be used. The more restrictive requirements of the program rules or this label must be followed. Grazing and Feeding Nonlactating Animals There is no waiting period between treatment and grazing for nonlactating animals. DO NOT permit meat animals being fin ished for slaughter to graze treated fields within 30 days of slaughter. Grazing and Feeding Lactating Animals DO NOT graze lactating dairy animals within 7 days of treatment. Dry hay and Silage: Treated grasses may be harvested for dry hay or silage but DO NOT harvest within 37 days of treatment. 14
Pasture and Rangeland Tank Mixes BAS 45218 H Herbicide may be applied in tank mixes with one or more of the following herbicides: • Ally® • Amber® • ClarityiID • Rave® Sorghum Rates and Timings Apply 1 pint of BAS 452 18 H per acre to sorghum in the 3- leaf to 5-leaf stage (4" to 8" tall). For best performance, apply BAS 45218 H when weeds are small (less than 3" tall). Applications of BAS 45218 H to sorghum during periods of rapid growth may result in temporary leaning of plants or rolling of leaves. These effects are usually outgrown within 10 to 14 days. Sorghum growing under conditions of stress, such as high moisture, low fertility, and abnormal tempera ture, may be more sensitive to applications of BAS 45218 H. DO NOT use surfactants or oils with postemergence appli cations of BAS 452 18 H on sorghum crops. DO NOT use BAS 45218 H if the potential for sorghum injury is not acceptable. 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. If sorghum is grown for pasture, hay, or silage, refer to Pasture and Rangeland and Grass (Hay, Silage) in Crop-specific Information for livestock grazing and feed ing restrictions. DO NOT apply BAS 45218 H to sorghum grown for seed production. Make no more than one postemergence application per growing season. Sorghum Tank Mixes BAS 45218 H may be applied in tank mixes with one the following herbicides: • atrazine • Buctril® • Basagran® • Laddok® S-12 • Paramount" • Permit" • Peak® Sugarcane Applications of BAS 452 18 H can be made any time after the weeds have emerged and are actively growing but prior to the close-in stage of sugarcane. When possible, direct the spray beneath the sugarcane canopy in order to minimize the likelihood of crop injury. The use of directed sprays will also aid in maximizing spray coverage of weed foliage. Application rates and timing are given below. Use the higher level of listed rate ranges when treating dense vegetative growth. DO NOT harvest cane prior to crop maturity. Rate • For control of listed annual broad leaf weeds, apply 2 pints of BAS 452 18 H per treated acre. • For suppression of listed perennial weeds, apply 1 to 5.5 pints of BAS 45218 H per treated acre. • The preharvest interval (PHI) is 87 days. Limited to one preemergence and one postemergence appli cation, DO NOT exceed 11 pints of BAS 452 18 H per treated acre during a growing season. 15 Sugarcane Tank Mixes BAS 45218 H may be applied in tank mixes with one or more of the following herbicides: • Asulox" • atrazine • Sencor" • Sin bar" Wheat (fall and spring-seeded) If small grains are grown for pasture or hay only, refer to Pastures, Rangeland and Grass (Hay, Silage). DO NOT graze or harvest for livestock feed prior to crop maturity. DO NOT use BAS 452 18 H in wheat underseeded with legumes. Limited to one postemergence and one preharvest applica tion per crop cycle. Early Season Applications Apply 0.5 to 1 pints of BAS 452 18 H per acre to wheat unless using one of the wheat-specific programs below. Early season applications to spring-seeded wheat must be made after tillering and before wheat reaches the 6-leaf stage. Early season applications to fall-seeded wheat must be made after tillering and prior to the jointing stage. Care should be taken in staging early developing wheat vari eties, such as TAM 107, Madison, or Wakefield, to be certain that the application occurs prior to the jointing stage. Specific Use Programs For Fall-seeded Wheat Only Up to 1.33 pints of BAS 45218 H per acre may be applied on fall-seeded wheat after the wheat begins to tiller for sup pression of perennial weeds, such as field bindweed. Applications may be made in the fall following a frost but before a killing freeze. Periods of extended stress such as cold and wet weather may enhance the possibility of crop injury. For fall applications only, DO NOT use if the potential for crop injury is not acceptable. Preharvest Applications BAS 452 18 H can be used to control weeds that may inter fere with harvest of wheat. Apply up to 1 .4 pints of
BAS 452 18 H Herbicide per acre as a broadcast or spot treatment to annual broad leaf weeds when wheat is in the hard dough stage and the green color is gone from the nodes Ooints) of the stem. Best results will be obtained if application can be made when weeds are actively growing but before weeds canopy. A waiting interval of 14 days is required before harvest. DO NOT use preharvest-treated wheat for seed unless a germination test is performed on the seed with an accept able result of 95% germination or better. For control of additional broad leaf weeds or grasses, BAS 452 18 H may be tank mixed with other herbicides such as Allyl!> or glyphosate (e.g., Roundupl!» that are regis tered for preharvest use in wheat.

Consult Additives for adjuvant restric tions and Nonfood/Feed Use (Land not Harvested, Grazed or Foraged) Specific Information for specific use directions. Nonfood/Feed Use (Land not Harvested, Grazed or Foraged) Specific Information Between Crop Applications Preplant Directions (Postharvest, Fallow, Crop Stubble, Set-aside) for Broadleaf Weed Control BAS 452 18 H can be applied either postharvest in the fall, spring, or summer during the fallow period or to crop stub ble/set-aside acres. Apply BAS 45218 H as a broadcast or spot treatment to emerged and actively growing weeds after crop harvest (postharvest) and before a killing frost, or in the fallow cropland or crop stubble the following spring or sum mer. See Crop Rotational Restrictions in Restrictions and Limitations for the recommended interval between applica tion and planting to prevent crop injury. Rates and Timings Apply 0.5 to 5.5 pints of BAS 452 18 H per acre. Refer to Table 1 to determine use rates for specific targeted weed species. Limited to 2 applications per year, DO NOT exceed a total of 8 pints of BAS 452 18 H per treated acre during a growing season. A minimum of 30 days is required between applications. For best performance, apply BAS 452 18 H when annual weeds are less than 6" tall, when biennial weeds are in the rosette stage and to perennial weed regrowth in late summer or fall following a mowing or tillage treatment. The most effective control of upright perennial broadleaf weeds, such as Canada thistle and Jerusalem arti choke, occurs if BAS 45218 H is applied when the majority of weeds have at least 4" to 6" of regrowth or for weeds such as field bindweed and hedge bindweed that are in or beyond the full-bloom stage. Avoid disturbing treated areas following application. Treatments may not kill weeds that develop from seed or underground plant parts, such as rhizomes or bulblets, after the effective period for BAS 45218 H. For seedling control, a follow-up program or other cultural practices could be instituted. Between-crop Tank Mixes In tank mixes with one or more of the following herbicides, apply 0.5 to 2 pints of BAS 452 18 H 'per acre for control of 16

Refer to Table 1 and Table 2 for rate selection based on targeted weed or brush species. Some weed species will require tank mixes for adequate control. Rates above 4 pints of BAS 452 18 H per acre are for spot treatments only. Limited to 2 applications per year, DO NOT exceed a total of 8 pints of BAS 452 18 H per treated acre during a grow ing season. A minimum of 30 days between applications is required. Applications to non-cropland areas are not applicable to treatment of commercial timber or other plants being grown for sale or other commercial use, or for commercial seed production, or for research purposes. For programs lands, such as Conservation Reserve Program, consult program rules to determine whether grass or hay may be used. The more restrictive requirements of the program rules or this label must be followed. Farmstead and Fencerow Treatment Application Instructions BAS 452 18 H may be applied using water or oil and water emulsions in spot application to control undesirable vegeta tion using handgun or similar types of application equipment. In addition to weed species listed in Table 1 and Table 2, these treatments may be used to control or suppress woody plant species listed in Table 7. To prepare oil and water emulsions, mix in the order and proportions indicated below. The solution should remain milky colored without an oily layer on top when under agitation. If an oily layer forms, increase the amount of emulsifier or change to a more effec tive emulsifier. DO NOT exceed 27.5 gallons of spray solution per treated acre per application. Twenty-seven and a half gallons of spray solution contains 0.7 pound acid equivalent of dicam ba and 2.0 pounds acid equivalent of 2,4-D. Spray plants to wet. DO NOT allow this spray mix to contact desirable vegetation. 17 To control brush, briars, and weeds along fencerows sur rounding pasture and ranch lands and fallow fields, use a tank mix of 2.5% of BAS 45218 H, 87.5% water, 10% diesel oil, and sufficient emulsifier (to mix the diesel and emulsifier). The diesel oil in this tank mix will damage or kill desirable grasses and should not be used in pastures or where damage to to desirable species cannot be tolerated.
- Water. Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer tank with the desired quantity of clean water. Maintain constant agitation during complete mixing procedure.
- Emulsifier. Add 0.5% volume to volume.
- BAS 452 18 H. Add 2.5 gallons per 100 gallons of total intended solution.
- Diesel Oil. Add 10 gallons per 100 gallons of total intend ed solution. Maintain constant agitation during application. Under good agitation, the spray solution should be milky white with no oil layer on top. If an oil layer forms, increase the amdunt of emulsifier or change to a more effective emulsi fier .. Spraying Foliar Applications
- Spray when leaves have reached full size but have not hardened due to drought or maturity.
- Spray individual plants to wet with handgun.
- For larger stems (up to 3" in diameter) and hard-to-control species, direct spray stream to base of stems to wet the stem at soil surface in addition to wetting the foliage.
- DO NOT apply under drip line of desirable trees or adja cent to desirable vegetation. Dormant Basal Applications
- Increase diesel oil content to 15% or 15 gallons of diesel oil per 100 gallons of total solution.
- Spray in late winter and early spring before plants break dormancy.
- Spray the bottom 24" of the target stem to wet on all sides.
- For larger stems (up to 3" in diameter) and hard-to-kill species, direct the spray solution to the base of target stems to wet the soil at the stem/soil junction in addition to wetting the stem.
- DO NOT apply under drip line of desirable trees or adja- cent to desirable vegetation. Cut-surface Treatments Apply BAS 452 18 H in an undiluted state as a cut-surface treatment to control unwanted trees and prevent sprouts of cut trees. Frill or Girdle Treatments: Make a continuous cut or a series of overlapping cuts using an axe to girdle tree trunk. Spray or paint the cut surface with BAS 452 18 H. Stump Treatments: Spray or paint freshly cut surface with BAS 45218 H. The cambium layer (the area adjacent to the bark) should be thoroughly wet. Treat stumps within 6 hours after cutting.
