Page 2 of 4 USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Users should wash hands before eating. drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco Of using the toilet. Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on dean dething. Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. 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 directly 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. When cleaning equipment, do not pour washwater on the ground; spray or drain over a large area away from wells and other water sources. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from target areas. Most cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy herbicides such as MCPA have been associated with mixing/loading 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 or transferring this pesticide will reduce the probability of spills. Placement of the mixinglloading equipment on an impervious pad to contain spills will help prevent groundwater contamination. PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS Do not use, pour, spill, or store near heat or open flame.

Page 3 of4 GENERAL INFORMATION USE PRECAUTIONS: Under no circumstances should MCPA AMINE HERBICIDE be used in the vicinity of vegetables, flowers, grapes, tomatoes, cotton. beans and other legumes, etc. or other suscepUble crops as severe damage may result. Extreme care must be exercised to prevent drifting of this material. Do not apply on windy days. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift. Avoid use of small diameter spray nozzles. Do not use around the home, recreation areas, or similar sites. Equipment used to apply MCPA AMINE should not be used to apply other agricultural chemicals to susceptible crops. CONTROLS THESE WEEDS SUSCEPTIBLE (Most Areas): Lambsquarters (GoosefDOt), Marsh Elder, muslards (annual), puncturevine, ragweed, stinkweed, wild radish, yellow rocket or wintercress, cocklebur, goats beard, field pepper grass, dragon head mint, shepherdspurse and many others. LESS SUSCEPTIBLE: Buttercups, Canada thistle, dandelions, kochia, plantains, hempnettie, stinging nettle, sow thistle, vetch, white top and hoary cress, Russian pigweed, sunflower, pigweed, purslane and many others. CROP SPRAYING Obtain uniform spray coverage for best results. Generally, the lower recommended dosages will be satisfactory for young, succulent growth of sensitive weed species. Use the higher recommended dosages INhere less sensitive species are to be controlled. Use moderate spray pressure (20 psi) and enough spray volUme for good coverage, usually 5 to 20 gallons per acre by ground equipment and at least 3 to 5 gal/ons per acre by air unless directed otherwise. SELECTIVE SPRAYING: Wheat, Oats, Ba~ey and Rye - Apply as a water mix spray by ground sprayer or airplane. Use 1/2 to 1 pint per acre for the more susceptible weeds after crop has reached the 3 to 4 leaf stage up to boot stage. Use up to 3 pints per acre for less susceptible weeds after crop has tiIIered and up to early boot stage. Do not spray from boot to dough stage. For small grains underseeded with legumes, see the following paragraph. SMALL GRAINS, Underseeded with Alfalfa, Lespedeza, Red and White Clover: For emergency control of serious infestations of mustard, yellow rocket and other susceptible broadcast weeds, apply ~ to Y2 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 protective canopy which, together with the use of low gallonage applied with pressure, will reduce the risk of damage to the legumes. Do not apply to small grains underseeded with vetch or sweet dover, which are very susceptible. There is also some risk to other legumes if only thinly protected by a canopy. Do not forage or graze meat animals or dairy cattle within 7 days of slaughter. CANNING PEAS (For use in the Pacific Northwest only): Use MCPA Amine Herbicide at 1/4 to 314 pint per acre. Apply to peas after the 3 node stage and before the first pea flowering. Do not apply during bloom period of crop. To control Canada thistle, use 112 to 314 pint per acre. Peas may be injured somewhat at the higher rate of application, but if thistle growth is heavy, control will more than compensate for injury to peas. Do not feed treated vines to livestock. Do not forage or graze meat animals or dairy cattle within 7 days of slaughter. FLAX: Use 1/4 to 1/2 pint. Apply by ground sprayer or by airplane. Use sufficient water to give uniform and adequate coverage. Apply only when weeds are up and when flax is 4 to 8 inches high and before it comes into bud. Treatment after early bud stage may result in severage damage. If Canada thistle is present, it may be necessary to go as high as 3/4 pint per acre to prevent seed head production. Some injury to the flax may result. Do not forage or graze meat animals or dairy cattle within 7 days of slaughter. ESTABLISHED GRASSLAND AND PASTURES: Use 1 to 3 pints per acre in sufficient water (10 to 100 gallons) in airplane or ground sprayer application and give thorough coverage. Use higher rate for white top, Canada thistle and other less easy·to-kill weeds; spray perennials in early bud to full bloom stage and also regrowth in fall. Spray other weeds in spring or fall. Do not forage or graze meat animals or dairy cattle within 7 days of slaughter. GRASSES GROWN FOR SEED: Use 1 to 2 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 tiIIered. NOTE: In weed control in grasses, repeat treatment may be needed for less susceptible weeds. White dover and other legumes may be temporarily injured or killed. In some areas, bent, buffalo, carpet and St. Augustine grasses may also be injured by the treatment. RANGE AND TIMBER LANDS: For control of whitebrush, use 1 X. quarts in a mixture of 1 gallon of diesel oil and sufficent ,\J:S: to make 8 gallons of solUtion per acre. Apply in spring or fall under good moisture conditions, full leaf, before blossoms begin to f;-I' Do not forage or graze meat animals or dairy cattle within 7 days of slaughter.

Page 4 of 4 NON-CROP SPRAYING CANADA THISTLE, WHITE TOP AND MEADOW BUTTERCUP (In Non-Crop Areas such as Roadsides, Fence Rows, Rights-of­ Way and Similar Places): For spot treatment, use V. pint in 3 to 4 gallons of water, or 3/4 gaUon per acre in 75 to 150 gallons of water. depending on the weed density and height, to give coverage of the weed foliage. Spray to wet weeds thoroughly when in bud to early bloom and again on faU regrowth. Do not forage or graze meat animals or dairy cattle within 7 days of slaughter. Local conditions may affect the use of this chemical. Consult State Agricultural Extension or Experiment Station weed specialists for specific recommendations for local weed problems and for infonnation on possible lower dosages. ESTABLISHED TURFGRASS AREAS; Such as: Golf Courses, Lawns, Parks, Cemeteries, and Other Turf Areas. Use 1 to 3 pints per acre in 10 to 120 gallons of water to give thorough coverage. Use higher rate for less susceptible weeds. On smaller areas use 1 fluid ounce (4 tablespoonfuls) mixed in 1 to 3 gallons of water and apply uniformly over 1.000 square feet. Do not exceed specified application dosages for any area. Avoid applying during excessively dry or hot periods unless irrigation (watering) is used before treatment. For best results, do not apply if rainfall is expected within 48 hours, nor should lawns be watered for 48 hours following application. For optimum results, turf should not be mowed for 1 to 2 days before and after application. Reseed no sooner than 3 to 4 weeks after application of this product. Spring and fall are best times to treat. Do not use on lawns of creeping bentgrass, except for spot spraying, nor on newly seeded turf until the grass has become well established, usually after the third or fourth mowing.
