PRODUCT INFORMATION
This product contains isooctyl ester of 2,4-D. In cropland, this herbicide is for controlling hard-to-kill weeds
such as bindweed, thistle, smartweeds, wild garlic, curled dock, tansy ragwort and wild onions.
INJURY TO CROPS FROM THIS HERBICIDE MAY OCCUR. IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO ACCEPT
SOME DEGREE OF CROP INJURY, DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT.
Crop varieties vary in response to 2,4-D and some are easily injured. Apply this herbicide to varieties known
to be tolerant to 2,4-D. If you are uncertain concerning tolerant varieties or local use situations that may
affect crop tolerance to 2,4-D, consult your seed company, state Agricultural Extension Service or qualified
crop consultant for advice.
WEED RESISTANCE
Any weed population may contain plants that are naturall y resistant to 2,4-D, the active ingredient in this
product, and to other herbicides with the same mode of action. ATTENTION: These resistant weed biotypes
will not be controlled by this product. Consult advisors su ch as your local agricultural extension service for
agronomic management practices to minimize the occurrence of 2,4-D resistance and considerations for
supplemental control measures.
Weed Management
To minimize the occurrence of 2,4-D resistant biot ypes, observe the following general weed management
practices:
• Scout application site before and after herbicide applications.
• Start with a clean application site, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage.
• Control weeds early when they are relatively small.
• Add other herbicides (e.g. a selective and/or a residual herbicide) and cultural practices (e.g. tillage or
crop rotation) where appropriate.
• Utilize the specified label rate for the most difficult to control weed in your field. Avoid tank mixtures with
other herbicides that reduce this products e fficacy (through antagonism), or tank mixture directions that
encourage application rates of this product below the label directions.
• Control weed escapes and prevent weeds from setting seeds.
• Clean equipment before moving from field to field to minimize the spread of weed seed or plant parts.
• Report any incidence of repeated non-performance of this product on a particular weed to your Nufarm
representative, local retailer, or county extension agent.
Management of 2,4-D-Resistant Biotypes
Since the occurrence of new 2,4-D weeds cannot be determined until after product use and scientific
confirmation, manufacturer is not responsible for any losses that may result from the failure of this product
to control 2,4-D resistant weed biotypes.
The following good agronomic practices are recomm ended to reduce the spread of confirmed 2,4-D
resistant biotypes:
5
• If a naturally occurring resistant biotype is present in your application site, this product should be
tank-mixed or applied sequentially with an appropriately labeled herbicide with a different mode of action
to achieve control.
• Cultural and mechanical control practices (e.g. crop rotation or tillage) may also be used as appropriate.
• Scout treated application site after herbicide applications and control escaping weeds including resistant
biotypes before they set seed.
• Thoroughly clean equipment before leaving fields known to contain resistant biotypes.
PRODUCT RESTRICTIONS
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
Do not use in or near a greenhouse.
Do not use the same spray equipment for other purposes unless thoroughly cleaned. Crops contacted by
sprays or spray drift may be killed or suffer significant stand loss with extensive quality and yield reduction.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Add 1/2 the required amount of water to the spray tank, then add this product with agitation, and finally, the
balance of the water with continued agitation. This material forms an emulsion in water, not a solution. This
tends to separate on standing. Provide agitation to prevent such separation and insure uniform spray
mixtures.
COMPATIBILITY
If this herbicide is to be tank mixed with fertilizers or with other pesticides, test compatibility prior to mixing.
To test for compatibility, use a small container and mix a small amount (0.5 to 1 quart) of spray, combining
all ingredients in the same ratio as the anticipated use. If any indications of physical incompatibility develop,
do not use this mixture for spraying. Indications of incompatibility usually will appear within 5 to 15 minutes
after mixing.
Read and follow the label of each tank mix product used for precautionary statements, directions for use,
geographic and other restrictions.
COMBINATION WITH LIQUID NITROGEN FERTILIZER
Use 1/3 to 1/2 pint of this product per acre for weeding and feeding corn, small grains or grass pastures as
directed on this label. Use fertilizer at rates recommended by supplier or Extension Service Specialist.
Fill the spray tank about half full with the liquid fertilizer, then add this product with vigorous agitation, and
complete filling the tank with fertilizer. Apply immedi ately and continue agitation in the spray tank during
application. Application during very cold weather (nea r freezing) is not advisable. Do not allow mixture to
stand overnight. Incompatibility may be encountere d with some fertilizer brands or under some
environmental conditions. If in doubt, test a small sample in the dilution ratio planned for application.
NOTE: Fertilizers can increase foliage contact burn of herbicides. Reducing the fertilizer rate and
concentration will reduce the hazard of leaf burn.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Apply with calibrated air or ground equipment using sufficient spray volume to provide adequate coverage
of target weeds or as otherwise directed in specific use directions.
For aerial application - Do not apply less than 2 gallon total spray volume per acre.
For ground applications - Do not apply less than 10 gallon total spray volume per acre.
The higher spray volumes will be needed under the following circumstances:
• For difficult to control vegetation,
• For large vegetation,
• Under conditions where control is more difficult, or
• When tank mixing with oils.

Rate Ranges and Application Timing
The lower dosages given will be satisfactory for young, succulent growth of sensitive weed species. For
less sensitive species and under conditions where control is more difficult, the higher dosages will be
needed. Apply this product during warm weather when weeds are young and actively growing.
Spot Treatments
To prevent misapplication, apply spot treatments with a calibrated boom or with hand sprayers using a fixed
spray volume per 1,000 square feet as indicated below.
Hand-Held Sprayers: Hand-held sprayers may be used for spot applications of this product. Apply the
spray uniformly and at a rate equivalent to a broadcast application. Application rates in the table are based
upon the application rate for an area of 1,000 square feet. Mix the amount of this product (fl oz or mL)
corresponding to the desired broadcast rate in 1 to 3 ga llons of spray. To calculate the amount of product
required for larger areas, multiply the table value (fl oz or mL) by the thousands of square feet 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, chemigation) can influence pesticide drift.
The applicator must evaluate all factors and make appropriate adjustments when applying this product.
Droplet Size
When applying sprays that contain 2,4-D as the sole active ingredient, or when applying sprays that contain
2,4-D mixed with active in gredients that require a Coarse or coar ser spray, 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.
When applying sprays that contain 2,4-D mixed with other active ingredients that require a medium or more
fine spray, apply only as a Medium or coarser spray (ASAE standard 572) or a volume mean diameter of
300 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles.
Wind Speed
Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Only apply this product if the wind direction favors
on-target deposition 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 app licator must determine if: a) conditions of temperature
inversion exist, or b) stable atmospheric conditio ns exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make
applications into areas of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric conditions.
Susceptible Plants
Do not apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, forage, or other plantings that might
be damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. Susceptible crops include, but are
not limited to, cotton, okra, flowers, grapes (in growing stage), fruit trees (foliage), soybeans (vegetative
stage), ornamentals, sunflowers, tomatoes, beans, an d other vegetables, or tobacco. Small amounts of
spray drift that might not be visible may injure susceptible broadleaf plants.
Other State and Local Requirements
8
Applicators must follow all state and local pesticid e drift requirements regarding application of 2,4-D
herbicides. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
Equipment
All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated 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.
Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy.
2,4-D esters may volatilize during conditions of low humidity and high temperatures. Do not apply during
conditions of low humidity and high temperatures.

Control
in Wheat
Perennial broadleaf
weeds
1.75 pints* Apply when weeds are approaching bud stage, but
do not spray grain during the boot to dough
stage. The 1.75 pints per acre application can
produce injury to wheat. Balance the severity of your
weed problem against the possibility of crop
damage. Where perennial weeds are scattered, spot
treatment is suggested to minimize the extent of crop
injury.
Preharvest 2/3 to 3/4 pint* Apply when grains are in the hard dough stage to
suppress large weeds that may interfere with
harvest. Best results will be obtained when soil
moisture is sufficient to induce succulent weed
growth.
*Do not apply to grain in the seedling stage.
Maximum rate 1 pint per acre from jointing to before boot stage. Treatment at this growth stage (jointing
to before boot) should be used where such increased risk of injury to crop is acceptable. Higher rates
listed on this label are more likely to cause crop injury.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE ON CEREAL GRAINS
The higher rates (greater than 1.0 pints per acre) increas e the risk of grain injury and should be used only

Planting in Treated Areas
Labeled Crops: Within 29 days after an application of this product, plant only those crops listed on this or
other registered 2,4-D labels. Follow more stringent limi tations, if any, provided in directions for specific
crops. Labeled crops may be at risk of crop injury or loss if planted soon after application, especially during
the first 14 days. Degradation factors described below should be considered in weighing this risk.
Other Crops: All other crops may be planted 30 days or mo re after application without concern for illegal
residues in the planted crop. However, under certain conditions, there may be a risk of injury to susceptible
crops. Degradation factors described below should be considered in weighing this risk. Under normal
conditions, any crop may be planted without risk of inju ry if at least 90 days of soil temperatures above
freezing have elapsed since application.

FOREST MANAGEMENT
CONIFER RELEASE
To control Alder, apply 2 to 2-3/4 pints of this product in 8 to 25 gallons water per acre as a foliage spray, or
sufficient spray solution for adequate coverage. Treat when 3/4 of the brush foliage has attained full size
leaves and before new conifer growth reaches 2 inches in length. This is usually between early May and
mid-June. Adjust treatment date depending on stage of growth of conifers and brush species. This may
cause leader deformation on exposed firs, but they should overcome this during the second year after
spraying.
To control susceptible trees and brush species such as Ceanothus spp., Chinquapin, Madrone,
Manzanita, Oak and Tanoak and to release Douglas fir, Grand fir, Hemlock, or Sitka spruce, apply 2
quarts of product per acre before new growth on Douglas fir is 2 inches long. To control Manzanita and
Ceanothus in Ponderosa pine, apply 2 quarts of this product before pine growth begins in spring.
To increase performance, add 2 to 4 quarts of diesel, fuel oil, kerosene, or a suitable approved agricultural
surfactant at label rate.
After Black spruce, Jack pine, Northern conifers, Red pine and White spruce cease growth and "harden
off" (usually in mid-July), a spray of 1 to 2 quarts of product in 8 to 25 gallons of water per acre, or
sufficient spray solution for adequate coverage. Product may be applied by air to control certain competing
hardwood species such as Alder, Aspen, Birch, an d Willow. Since this treatment may cause occasional
conifer injury, do not use if such injury cannot be to lerated. Consult your Regional or Extension Forester
or State herbicide specialist for recommendations to fit local conditions.
To control Hazel brush in the Lake states, apply 2-3/4 pi nts of this product in 6 to 25 gallons of water per

diesel, fuel oil or kerosene for good coverage.
Application may be made by ground or air and should be made before conifer bud break.
Pine Only: Make application while pine buds are still dormant. Apply 2-3/4 pints of product per acre in
sufficient spray solution for adequate coverage by air or ground equipment. Do not use this application
18
unless some pine injury is acceptable. Use of diesel, kerosene, or other oil, or addition of surfactants to
spray mix may cause unacceptable pine injury.
Christmas Tree Plantations: For control of labeled broadleaf weeds in Douglas Fir Christmas trees, use
3/4 to 1-1/3 pints of this product per acre.
Apply over the top of Douglas Fir by ground or aerial application equipment only when the trees are
dormant, prior to bud break. Do not spray over the top of pine or true firs (Abies spp.).
Directed Sprays may be made to weeds in Christmas tree plantations of all conifer species, but the spray
must not contact tree foliage as injury may occur. Do not apply to weakened, diseased, or stressed
seedlings since unacceptable injury can occur. This product may be mixed with Atrazine for Christmas
tree application. (See Tank Mix section.)
Herbaceous Weed Control: To control over-wintering susceptible weeds such as False dandelion,
Klamath weed, Plantain, Tansy ragwort, apply 1-1/3 to 4 pints of product in sufficient spray solution for
adequate coverage. Make application at rates and timing indicated above if Pines are present. For control
of Hazel brush and similar species in the Lake States area, apply 2-3/4 pints of product per acre in 8 to 25
gallons of water when new shoot growth of Hazel is complete (usually mid-July).
SITE PREPARATION
Budbreak Spray: To control Alder and other susceptible species before planting forest seedlings, apply
2-3/4 to 5-1/2 pints of this product in 8 to 25 gallons fuel oil per acre, or sufficient spray solution for adequate

Apply before weeds are 6 inches high. Use 10 to 25 gallons total spray volume per acre with ground
equipment or 2 to 10 gallons total spray volume with air application, or sufficient spray solution for
adequate coverage. Use higher volume on larger weeds.
Using this product with Banvel / Diablo and Ally or Express or Diablo to provide more complete
Kochia control: Offers quick burndown. Provides residual activi ty with Ally to control later weed flushes
making harvesting easier and reducing postharvest weed control needs. Controls broader weed spectrum
while offering better control of Flixweed, Mustards, Russian thistle, and Wild buckwheat. Controls large
weeds. Allows for early treatment. Apply 5.5 ounces (0.25 lb 2,4-D a.e.) of this product with the label
specified rates of Ally plus either 2 to 3 ounces (0.0625 to 0.09375 lb Dicamba ae) of Diablo or Banvel per
acre. The tank mix can be applied to Winter wheat and th e four-leaf stage (tillering) to prior to joint. It can
be applied to Spring wheat from the four-leaf stag e through the five-leaf stage. Growers who want to
rotate to a sensitive crop following wheat and are concerned about carryover from Ally, can substitute
Express in the tank mix which allows crop rotation 60 days after application. The recommended rate of
Express is 1/6 oz. per acre.
Using this product and Sencor as knockdown herbicides for no till: This product with Sencor DF
alone or in combination with Dual, Lasso, Surflan or Prowl may be applied as an early preplant surface
application for the control of certain broadleaf weed s and grasses in soybeans in minimum or no-till
products. Application is recommended 30 days prior to pl anting. Apply at rate of 1.3 pints of this product
(1 lb 2,4-D a.e.) per acre with labeled rates of Sencor. Where grass herbicide is used in tank mix, apply at
the rates specified on that product's label.
Using this product and Atrazine for weed control in Christmas tree and forest plantings: A tank mix
of these two products can be used to control w eeds and thus aid in the establishment of young
transplants of Austrian pine, Bishop pine, Blue spruce, Douglas fir, Grand fir, Jeffrey pine, Knobcone pine,
Loblolly pine, Lodgepole pine, Monterey pine, Nobel fir, Ponderosa pine, Scotch pine, Sitka spruce, Slash
pine, and White fir.
The mix should be applied between fall and early spring , preferably in February or March, while trees are
still dormant, or soon after transplanting. Weeds should not be more than 1.5 inches high. It can be
applied with either ground or air equipment. Helicop ters have been highly effective for reforestation
applications or steep terrain. Uniform application is th e key to good weed control. Use 10 to 40 gallons of
water per acre for ground applications; a minimum of 2 gallons of water when applying by air , or sufficient
spray solution for adequate coverage. Be sure equipment is properly calibrated. All screens in the spray
system -- nozzles, and in-line and suction strainers -- should be 15 mesh or coarser. Use a pump with
capacity to maintain a nozzle pressure of 35 to 40 psi, and sufficient agitation to keep the mixture in
suspension in the spray tank. If a nurse tank is used, keep the mixture agitated while awaiting transfer to
the spray tank. Mix equivalent to 2 to 4 quarts of an approved 4 pounds per ga llon Atrazine product or
equivalent to 2.5 to 5 pounds of an approved 80% AI Atrazine product with 1-1/2 to 4 pints (1 to 3 lbs
2,4-D ae) of this product. The actual rate of Atrazine used should depend on soil type. Soils high in
organic matter require higher rates than light to medium soils. Band application to Christmas Trees -
Calculate the amount to be applied per acre. The band width in inches, divided by the rows spacing in
inches, times the rate per acre for broadcast treatmen t will equal the amount needed per acre for band
treatment. For example, when treating a 4-foot band over trees planted in rows 8 feet apart, apply 1.25 to
2.5 pounds ae of an approved 80% AI Atrazine product per acre. Please read Atrazine label(s) for
additional instructions.
