To avoid crop injury, carefully calibrate the band applicator
so a not to exceed the labeled rate.
• Carefully follow the manufacnlrer's instructions for nat fan
nozzle orientation, distance of nozzles from the crop and
weeds, spray volumes, calibration and spray pressure.
Aerial Application

AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
o 1 q
DPX·E9636 rna' be applied to all field com hybnds excep, Ie
few tilat are clas,'i:,ed by DuPont as potentially susceptible to
injury following DPX·E9636 application. Consult your
chemical dealer, seed supplier, or DuPont representative for a
cunent listing of field com hybrids classified as "potentially
susreptible" to DPX·E9636.
DPX·E9636 provides the bes! results when applied to young,
actively growing grasses. Applications made durinll wann,
moist conditions (70°F or more) with ade{juatc soil moisture
both before and after application maximize perfom.ance.
• The degree and duration of control depend on:
spray coverage, weed spectrum, weed size, growing
conditions both before and after application, soil moisture,
precipitation, and adjuvant selection.

• Applications made Juring or imJ11cdiatdy following
periods of large day/night temperature fluctuations may
decrease control.
• Applications made when nighttime temperatures drop
below 45 OF increase the potential for adverse crop
response.
• Applications of DPX·E9636 to dry, dusty fields may
reduce grass control in the wheel tracks.
• DPX·E9636 rapidly inhibits the growth of susceptible
grasses, reducing competition within as little as 6 hours
after application. Susceptible grasses are controlled in 7·

CULTIVATION
Cultivation prior to the application of DPX·E9636 may
decrease control by pruning roots and placing weeds under
stress. This stress may occur from cultivation previously

flush the hoses, boom. and nozzles with the cleaning

IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply
large droplets (>150 - 200 microns), The best drift
management strategy is 10 apply the largest droplets that
provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of
sensitive species nearby, the environmental conditions, and
pest pressure may affect how an applicator balances drift
control and coverage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS
REDUCES DRIFf POTENTIAL, BUT WILL NOT
PREVENT DRIFf IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE

Controlling Droplet Size· Aircraft • Number or Nozzles - Usc the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide unifornl coverage. • Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that.the spray is emitted backwards. parallel to Ole airstream will produce larger droplets than oOler orientations. Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core WiOl swirl plate removed) oriented straight back produce larger droplets than oOler nozzle types. • Boom Length - The boom length should not exceed 3/4 of the wing or rotor length - longer hooms increase drift potential. • Application Height - Application more than 10 ft above the canopy increases the pOlential for spray drift. BOOM HEIGHT Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the cxposurc of (~p)rkr' !o e'apor;ltinr1 and Wi:ld.

Note: Locallerrain can influence wind patterns. Every

TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
\11<'11 making applications in hot and dry conditions. set up
equipment to produce larger droplet to reduce effts of
evaporation.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion.
Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing. which causes
small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and

AIR ASSISTED (AIR BLAST)
FIELD CROP SPRA YERS
Air a.<sisted field crop sprayers cany droplets to the target via a
downward directed air stream. Some may reduce the potential
for drift, but if a sprayer is unsuitable for the applicalion and/or
SCI up improperly, high drift potential can result. It is the
responsibility of Ihe applicator 10 detennine thaI a sprayer is
suitable for the inlended application. is configured properly, and
that drift is not occurring.
Note: Air assisted field sprayers can affect product perfonnance
by affecting spray coverage and canopy penetration. Consult
the application equipment section of this larel to detcnnine if
use of an air a."isted sprayer is recommended.
