(STATEMENT TO BE ADDED WHEN CONTAINER SIZE IS 5 GALLONS OR MORE)
Do not pour product from this container. A mechanical system (pump and probe or spigot) must be used in transferring the
contents of this container. If the contents of a non-refillable pesticide container are emptied, the probe must be rinsed before
removal. If the mechanical system is used in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard
(WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240 (d) (4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as
specified in the WPS.
Pilots must use an enclosed cockpit that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for
agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240 (d) (6)]. When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft, in a manner
that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240 (d)
(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should:
- Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet.
- Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
- 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
This product may be toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is
present, or to intertidal areas below mean high water mark. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic invertebrates in water
adjacent to treated areas. Drift or runoff may adversely affect non-target plants. Do not contaminate water when disposing of
equipment washwaters 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-D have been associated with
mixing/loading and disposal sites. Caution should be exercised when handling 2,4-D pesticides at such sites to prevent
contamination of groundwater supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing and transferring this pesticide will reduce the
probability of spills. Placement of the mixing/loading equip ment on an impervious pad to contain spills will help prevent
groundwater contamination.
Use care to avoid spray contact or drift to susceptible plants such as beans and other legumes, cotton, flowers, grapes,
ornamentals, vegetables, and other plants. Do not permit spray mist containing this product to drift onto them, since even very
small quantities of the spray, which may not be visible, can cause severe injury during both growing and dormant periods.
PHYSICAL CHEMICAL HAZARDS
Do not mix or allow coming into contact with oxidizing agents. Chemical reaction may occur.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product in a way

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
2,4-D LV4 is a Group 4 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to 2,4-D LV4 or other
Group 4 herbicides. Weed species with acquired resistance to Group 4 may eventually dominate the weed population if Group
4 herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive years as the primary method of control for targeted
species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of those species by 2,4-D LV4 or other Group 4 herbicides.
To delay herbicide resistance consider:
x Avoiding the consecutive use of 2,4-D LV4 or other target site of action Group 4 herbicides that have a similar target
site of action, on the same weed species.
x Using tank-mixtures or premixes with herbicides from different target site of action Groups as long as the involved
products are all registered for the same use, have different sites of action, and are both effective at the tank mix or
prepack rate on the weed(s) of concern.
x Basing herbicide use on a comprehensive IPM program.
x Monitoring treated weed populations for loss of field efficacy.
x Contacting your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors, and/or Winfield Solutions, LLC representative for
herbicide resistance management and/or integrated weed management recommendations for specific crops and
resistant weed biotypes.
USE DIRECTIONS
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
Unless noted otherwise under individual DIRECTIONS section, for aerial application, apply the specified amount in a minimum
of 2 gallons of water per acre. For ground application, apply the specified amount in a minimum of 3 gallons of water per acre.
Use more water for both methods when adverse growing conditions are present. DO NOT apply with high spray pressures,
hollow cone or other nozzle types that produce small spray droplets which may drift. Avoid spray drift by making applications
when conditions such as wind, air stability and temperature inversions are not a factor. The use of a suitable drift control agent
at the proper rate will aid in the reduction of spray drift. Apply when weather is warm and plants are rapidly growing. Cold
weather or dry conditions may cause poor results. DO NOT apply if rain is expected within an hour. Consult your local
agronomist or Extension specialist for specific use and crop tolerance situations. When stored at temperatures below freezing,
it may be necessary to warm contents to 45
0 F. and mix thoroughly before using.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind direction, wind speed, temperature, and relative humidity) and
method of application (e.g., ground, aerial, airblast) can influence pesticide drift. The applicator must evaluate all factors and
make appropriate adjustments when applying this product.
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.
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 ingredients that require a Coarse or coarser 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 non-target
species, non-target crops) within 250 feet downwind. If applying a Medium spray, leave one swath unsprayed at the downwind
edge of the treated field.
Page 5 of 12
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 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, and other vegetables, or tobacco. Small amounts of spray drift that might not be visible may injure susceptible
broadleaf plants.
Other State and Local Requirements
Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide 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.
Additional requirements for aerial applications:
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.
Additional requirements for ground boom application:
Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
WATER BASED SPRAY-- Fill the equipment half full of water, agitate while adding this product, then add the rest of water.
WATER AND SOYBEAN OIL OR PETROLEUM OIL-BASED SPRAY-- First mix this product with the oil, then add to water. If
vigorous agitation is possible, the oil can be added last. DO NOT ADD OIL FIRST!
SOYBEAN OIL OR PETROLEUM OIL-BASED SPRAY:Add this product to straight oil to form a solution. Do not allow water
to get into this mixture, if it does, an invert emulsion will form.
NITROGEN FERTILIZER: Weed and feed applications for corn, small grains, grasses grown for seed or grass pastures
according to label use rates. Add half the fertilizer to the tank, then add specified label amount of 2,4-D LV4 per acre. Agitate
constantly and vigorously and finish filling the spray tank with fertilizer. Apply as soon as possible, agitating constantly. Do not
hold spray mixture overnight. If incompatibility is a problem, the use of a compatibility agent at the specified label rate may
correct the problem. Fertilize according to the recommendations of your supplier or your Extension specialist. Herbicide foliage
contact burning may occur as a result of fertilizer use. Lower use rates and concentrations will reduce this problem.
Adjuvants for Preemergence and Preplant Applications: A non-ionic surfactant or a crop oil concentrate may be added to
the spray solution when this product is applied preemergence or preplant to increase control of large or difficult to control
weeds. Crop oil concentrates must contain at least 17% emulsifier, and should be used at 1% volume/volume (1 gallon per
100 gallons of spray solution). Non-ionic surfactants should be used at a 0.25% volume/volume (1 quart per 100 gallons of
spray solution).
When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, Winfield Solutions, LLC recommends the use of a Council of Producers
& Distributors of Agrotechnology certified adjuvant.
Wash spray equipment thoroughly with a tank cleaner after using this product. When cleaning equipment, do not pour
washwater on the ground: spray or drain over a large area away from wells or other water sources.
Apply the specified amount of 2,4-D per acre regardless of the amount of diluent used.

PER ACRE
DIRECTIONS
Postemergence - Spring
wheat, barley, and rye -
Annual and biennial weeds
Perennial broadleaf weeds
1/2 to 2 pints *
1 to 2 pints **
Apply when grain is in full tiller stage (4 to 8 inches high)
but before boot stage (Zadoks 2 5 to 4 0 ) when weeds are
small and actively growing. Up to 2 pints per acre may be
used to control difficult weed problems, but do not use
unless some crop damage is acceptable.
Apply only in the spring when crop is fully tillered, but
before grain is in boot stage (before Zadoks 4
0 ). For
improved control of difficult weeds, apply up to 2 pints per
acre.
** DO NOT USE THE HIGHER RATE IF POSSIBLE CROP INJURY IS NOT ACCEPTABLE
Spring and winter
wheat and barley
Resistant weeds
2,4-D LV4 may be used in combination with "Ally"
TM, "Harmony Extra" TM, "Express" TM,
"Finesse" TM, at their earlier application intervals to control resistant weeds such as kochia
and Russian thistle. Follow application directions on each product label.
Winter wheat and
rye
Annual weeds
1/2 to 1 pint
**
Apply only in the spring when crop is fully tillered, but before grain is in boot
stage (before Zadoks 4
0 ). For improved control of difficult weeds, apply up
to 2 pints per acre.
** DO NOT USE THE HIGHER RATE IF POSSIBLE CROP INJURY IS NOT ACCEPTABLE
Wild garlic or
onions
1/2 to 2
pints *
Apply 1-1/2 pints when grain is at full tiller and wild garlic and onion plants
are small. Apply 2 pints after harvest to the crop stubble. For control of new
fall growth of these plants, refer to fallow land use directions.

(Southern)
1/2 to 2/3
pint*
2/3 to 1-1/2
pints*
Apply at full tiller, but before early boot stage (Zadoks 2
5 to 40 ).
Apply at full tiller, but before early boot stage (Zadoks 25 to 40 ).
* Difficult to control weeds may require higher rate, but some injury may occur since oats are less tolerant to
2,4-D than wheat or barley. DO NOT spray during or just after cold weather.
Preharvest - Cereal
grains
1 pint Apply when grain is in hard dough stage (Zadoks 8 7 ) to control weeds that
will interfere with harvest. Apply when soil moisture is adequate for weed
growth for best results.
* Use the lower rate for small annual and biennial weeds. Use the higher rate for perennial weeds or hard-to-kill
annual or biennial weeds. The higher rate should be used only where heavy weed infestation is a problem and
increased risk of crop damage is acceptable.
RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS FOR SMALL GRAINS:
x The preharvest interval (PHI) is 14 days.
x Postemergence:
Limited to one postemergence application per crop cycle.
Maximum of 2 pts. (1 lb. ae) per acre per application.
x Preharvest:
Limited to one preharvest application per crop cycle.

2 to 4.2 pints
4.2 pints
Use the lower rate for small actively growing weeds. Use the higher rate on
larger or weather stressed weeds.
Use the lower rate in the spring on biennial weeds such as the musk thistle
during the rosette stage before stalks have formed. Use the higher rate after
stalk formation or in the fall.
Apply during the bud to bloom stage while weeds are actively growing. Do
not till for 2 weeks after treatment or until the weeds start to die.
Apply to regrowth in fall after harvest.
RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS FOR FALLOW GROUND (crop stubble on idle land, or postharvest to
crops, or between crops:
x Plant only labeled crops within 29 days following application.
x Limited to 2 applications per year.
x Maximum of 4.2 pts. (2 lbs. ae) per acre per application.
x Minimum of 30 days between applications.
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 specific limitations, 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 or more days 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 c onsidered in weighing this risk. Under normal
conditions, any crop may be planted without risk of injury if at least 90 days of soil temperatures above freezing
have elapsed since application.
Degradation Factors: When planting into treated areas, the risk of crop injury is less if lower rates of product
were applied and conditions followi ng application have included warm, mo ist soil conditions that favor rapid
breakdown of 2,4-D. Risk is greater if higher rates of product were applied and soil temperatures have been cold
and/or soils have been excessively wet or dry in the days following application. Consult your local agricultural
extension service or information about susceptible crops and typical conditions in your area.
Precautions for Planting Cotton: Following application of 2,4-D LV4 and following a minimum of 1” rainfall or
irrigation in a 24 hr. period, wait an interval of 30 days prior to planting cotton. Failure to observe these
precautions may result in crop injury.
