In the event of spillage or leakage, soak up material with absorbent clay, sand, sawdust, or other absorbent material. Scrape up and dispose of in accordance with information given under DISPOSAL. Repackage· and relabel useable products in a sound container. In case of fire or other emergency, report at once by toll-free telephone to 800-424-9300. DISPOSAL PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Wastes resulting from the use of this product may be disposed of on site or at an approved waste dispos1 facility. . CONTAINER DISPOSAL: Plastic containers-Triple rinse (or equivalent). Then offer for recycling or reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or incineration, or if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke. GENERAL INFORMATION Do not combine with emulsifiable liquids unless previous use of the mixture has proved physically compatible and safe to plants. Do not apply when shade temperatures exceed or are likely to exced 90°F. (Cotton is not sensitive to sulfur at high temperatures.) Do not use sulfur with oil or within 30 days of an oil spray (for citrus 60 days). NOTE: Sulfur will cause severe fruit and leaf injury to sulfur­ sensitive crops. Do not apply or allow to drift to apricots, cranberries, cucurbits (cantaloupes, cucumbers, melons, squash), filberts, d' Anjou and Comice pears, spinach, tung trees, walnuts or other sensitive plants. Sulfur may burn foliage and fruit during periods of high temperatures and under certain climatic conditions. Before using, stir until smooth! Wash recommended amount through screen into partially filled spray tank or premix in a small amount of water before pouring into tank. Do not use a screen finer than 50 mesh in entire system. Keep agitator running during filling and spraying operation. Do not allow mixture to .stand. Failure to maintain agitation will cause sulfur to settle and necessitate manual removal of the deposit. SULFUR 6L has strong adhesive properties_that will act as a sticker and deposit builder for other spray materials. Applications made within 30 days of harvest may result in excessive spray residue on fruit when picked. APPLICATION AND CALIBRATION TECHNIQUES FOR SPRINKLER IRRIGATION Apply this product only through the following types of irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from nonuniform distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Experiment Station specialist, equipment manufacturers·, or other

) ) experts. Do not connect an irrgation system (including areenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label­ prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. A person knowledaeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down' and make necessary adjustments should the need arise. A. Center Pivot, Traveler, Big Gun, Motorized Lateral Move, End Tow, and Side (Wheel) Roll Irrigation Equipment: Operate system and injection equipment at normal pressures recommended by the manufacturer of injection equipment used. Fill tank of injection equipment with water. Operate system for one complete circle for center pivot or one complete run for the other recpmmended equipment, measuring time required amount of water injected. and acreage contained in circle or run. Mix recommended amount of SULFUR 6L for acreage to be covered into same amount of water used during calibration and inject into system continuously for one revolution or run, but continue to operate irrigation system until SULFUR 6L has been cleared from last sprinkler head. Spray mixture in the chemical supply tank must be aggitated at all times, otherwise settling, ~nd uneven application may occur. B. Solid Set and Hand Move Irrigation Equipment: Determine acreage covered by sprinkler. Fill tank of injection equipment with water and adjust flow to use contents over a thirty to forty·five minute period. Mix desired amount of SULFUR 6L for acreage to be covered into quantity of water used during calibration and operate entire system at normal pressures recommended by the manufacturer of injection equipment used for amount of time established during calibration. Provide constant mechanical agitation in the mix tank to insure that SULFUR 6L will remain in suspension during the injection cycle. SULFUR 6L can be injected at the beginning or end of the irrigation cycle or as a separate application. Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed and continue to operate irrigation system until SULFUR 6L has been cleared from last sprinkler head. , SAFETY DEVICES (1) The systems designated above must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to ' prevent water source contamination from backflow. (2) All pesticide injection pipelines must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. (3) The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid·operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank. when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. (4) The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. 5. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point

. . ) 0) . where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. (6) Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.a., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. (7) Dc not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SOURCES Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year.

" Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, back flow presenter (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be discarded into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the . reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. For additional instructions on safety precautions, refer to statements (2). (3), (4), (6), and (7) in the section on SAFETY DEVICES. FIELD CROPS APPLICATION INFORMATION: All dosage rates are given as pints of SULFUR 6L per acre of crop, unless otherwise specified. SULFUR 6L may be applied by ground equipment, aircraft, or through sprinkler irrigation equipment it is essential that 'SULFUR 6L be applied in sufficient water to provide adequate coverage of the crop being treated. Unless otherwise specified, use the high dosage rate if conditions for disease pressure are great; use the low rate if disease is light or moderate. Applications on sulfur-sensitive crops should be made when lower temperatures are expected. SULFUR 6L is adaptable to spraying from all types of spray equipment. For dilute, high volume sprays apply 25 to 100 ga\lons per acre (GPA) for most vegetable crops, 400 to 800 GPA for fruit orchards and up to 1500 GPA as may be required for large citrus groves. For concentrate ground sprays, use 5 to 20 GPA for most vegetable crops and 25 to 100 GPA for fruit and nut crops. For aerial spraying, 3 to

) ) 15 GPA are commonly used. CORN AND SORGHUM: For control of Banks Grass Mite use 6 pints when bottom 2 leaves show infestation. Repeat as necessary.
