PRODUCT INFORMATION
IMITATOR + 2,4-D is a post-emergence herbicide for control or suppression of emerged weeds in fallow and
reduced tillage systems prior to planting or emergence of wheat, barley, corn, oats, rye, or sorghum (grain or
forage), and as a spot treatment in corn, sorghum, forage grasses or forage legumes.
Do not harvest or feed treated vegetation for 8 weeks after application. Following spot treatment in forage
grasses or legumes, allow 30 days before harvesting or grazing domestic livestock.
This product enters the plant through the foliage and moves throughout the plant. Visual effects of control are
a gradual wilting or yellowing of the plant which advances to complete browning of above-ground growth and
deterioration of affected underground plant parts. Visible symptoms will usually develop within 2 to 4 days
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part
170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests,
nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training,
decontaminat
ion, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and
exceptions pertaining to the statement on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE), and
restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by
the Worker Protection Standard.
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 48 hours.
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and
that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is: Coveralls,
chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material, shoes plus socks and protective eyewear.

after application but may not occur for 7 or more days. Extremely cool or cloudy weather following treatment
may slow activity of this product and delay the visual effects of control.
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
This product is both a Group 4 and a Group 9 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants
naturally resistant to Group 4 and/or Group 9 herbicides. Weed species with acquired resistance to Group 4
and/or Group 9 herbicides may eventually dominate the weed population if Group 4 and/or Group 9 herbicides
are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive years as primary method of control for targeted species.
This may result in partial or total loss of control of those species by this product or other Group 4 and/or Group
9 herbicides.
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of this product or other Group 4 and/or Group 9 herbicides within a growing season
sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds
in a field.
• Use tank-mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use is permitted; where information
on resistance in target weed species is available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate
that will control the target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance-prone partner. Consult
your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient
is currently less prone to resistance.
• Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses
historical information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that considers tillage (or other
mechanical control methods), cultural ( e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer
application method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (weed-competitive
crops or varieties) and other management practices.
• Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistance
development. Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed
species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on
adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; (3)
surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. If resistance is suspected,
prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a different group
or by a mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage. Prevent movement of resistant weed seeds to
other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields, and planting
clean seed.
• If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with this product, discontinue use of
this product, and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of
action, if available.
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance-
management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed
biotypes.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Drexel Chemical Company
representatives at (901) 774-4370.
APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS
• AVOID CONTACT WITH FOLIAGE OF CROP OR OTHER DESIRABLE VEGETATION SINCE
SEVERE INJURY OR DESTRUCTION MAY RESULT.
• Do not plant any crop other than wheat, barley, corn, oats, rye or sorghum (grain or forage) for 3 months
after treatment.
• Applications of this product after planting and prior to crop emergence may cause crop injury if rainfall or
environmental conditions delaying crop emergence are experienced.
• This product may be used for the control of emerged weeds prior to establishment of labeled crops. Large
amounts of green or decaying vegetation left standing or incorporated into the seedbed may enhance the
GROUP 4 HERBICIDES
GROUP 9 HERBICIDES

635SP-1115*
development of disease in newly planted crops. This may result in poor emergence and/or stands,
especially under cool and/or wet conditions.
• Spraying early to control young weeds before dense stands develop or light cultivation to assist weed
decay will favor preparation of suitable seedbeds.
In reduced tillage and no-till systems, ensure good seed to soil contact and proper seeding depth.
• DO NOT APPLY IN THE VICINITY OF 2,4-D SENSITIVE CROPS SUCH AS COTTON, GRAPES,
TOMATOES AND OTHER DESIRABLE VEGETATION.
• Apply only when there is no hazard from spray drift, since very small quantities of spray, which may not
be visible, may severely injure susceptible crops or desirable vegetation.
• The likelihood of injury occurring to adjacent crops from the use of this product is greatest when winds
are gusty or in excess of 5 miles per hour, or when other conditions including lesser wind velocities will
favor spray drift.
Movement of this product on soil particles during windstorms may cause damage to susceptible plants that
are contacted. This hazard is reduced if rainfall occurs shortly after application.
• This product may be used for the control of emerged weeds prior to establishment of labeled crops. Large
amounts of green or decaying vegetation left standing or incorporated into the seedbed may enhance the
development of disease in newly planted crops. This may result in poor emergence and/or stands,
especially under cool and/or wet conditions.
• When this label directs a tank mixture with a generic active ingredient such as diuron, atrazine, or dicamba,
the user is responsible for ensuring that the mixture product's label allows the specific application.
• Buyer and all users are responsible for all loss or damage in connection with the use or handling of
mixtures of this herbicide or other materials that are not expressly directed in this labeling. Mixing this
product with herbicides or other materials not directed on this label may result in reduced performance.
Use of this product in any manner not consistent with this label may result in injury to persons, animals or
crops, or other unintended consequences.
This product is subject to all State and county regulations for 2,4-D amine.
USE RESTRICTIONS
• Do not cut feed or forage vegetation from treated areas for 8 weeks following application unless otherwise
stated.
TIMING OF APPLICATION
Apply this product post-emergence to vigorously growing weeds when they have reached the size given in
the "RATES AND WEEDS CONTROLLED" section of this label. Delay application until maximum emergence
of the target weeds, but before weeds exceed the maximum size specified. For annual weeds, allow 1 day
after treatment before tillage.
For field bindweed, allow at least 7 days after treatment before tillage.
Reduced control may result if treatments are made during poor growing conditions such as drought stress,
disease or insect damage or if weeds have been mowed, grazed or cut. Heavy dust on foliage or a canopy
covering targeted weeds may also reduce control.
Rainfall or irrigation occurring within 6 hours after application may reduce effectiveness. Heavy rainfall or
irrigation within 2 hours after application will wash this product off the foliage and a repeat treatment will be
required.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
This Product Alone
Fill the spray tank to about three-fourths of the desired volume with clean water. Add the specified amount
of this product, then complete the filling process while maintaining agitation. Remove the hose from the mix
tank immediately after filling to avoid siphoning back into the carrier source. During mixing and application,
foaming of the spray solution may occur. To prevent or minimize foam, terminate by -pass and return lines
at the tank bottom and/or use an agriculturally approved anti-foam or defoaming agent.
Additional surfactant is not necessary for this formulation.
NOTE: Reduced control may occur if water containing soil is used, such as water from ponds and unlined
ditches.
Tank-Mixtures
Always predetermine the compatibility of labeled tank mixtures of this herbicide with water carrier by mixing
small proportional quantities in advance. Refer to the label of the tank mixture partner (s) for any additional
use instructions or precautions.
This product can be mixed in accordance with the more (most) restrictive label limitations and precautions.
No label dosage rates should be exceeded. This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a
label prohibition against such mixing.
Mix labeled tank mixtures of this product with water as follows:
1. Place a 20 to 35 mesh screen or wetting basket over filling port.
Page 8 of 21
635SP-1115*
2. Through the screen, fill the sprayer tank one-half full with water and start agitation.
3. If a wettable powder is used, make a slurry with the water carrier, and add it SLOWLY through the screen
into the tank. Continue agitation.
4. If a flowable formulation is used, premix one part flowable with one part water. Add diluted mixture
SLOWLY through the screen into the tank. Continue agitation.
5. If an emulsifiable concentrate formulation is used, premix one part emulsifiable concentrate with two parts
water. Add diluted mixture SLOWLY through the screen into the tank. Continue agitation.
6. Continue filling the sprayer tank with water and add the required amount of this product near the end of
the filling process.
7. Add individual formulations to the spray tank as follows: wettable powder, flowable, emulsifiable
concentrate, drift control additive, water soluble liquid.
Maintain good agitation at all times until the contents of the tank are sprayed. If the spray mixture is allowed
to settle, thorough agitation is required to re-suspend the mixture before spraying is resumed. Keep by-pass
line on or near bottom of tank to minimize foaming. Screen size in nozzle should be no finer than 100 mesh
and in-line strainers should be no finer than 50 mesh. Carefully select proper nozzle to avoid spraying a fine
mist. For best results with conventional ground application equipment, use flat fan nozzles.
Check label of all products used in tank mix for cleaning instructions. Clean as per the hardest material to
remove.
SPOT TREATMENT
Use Precautions:
Applications in growing crops must be made prior to heading of small grains and grain sorghum (milo) and
silking of corn. For applications in forage grasses and legumes, apply in areas where the movement of
domestic livestock can be controlled. No more than one- tenth of any acre should be treated at one time. Do
not treat the same area more than once in each growing season. Remove domestic livestock before
application and wait 30 days after application before grazing livestock or harvesting.
ECOFARMING SYSTEMS
The Ecofarming System consists of the following rotation: winter wheat, corn/sorghum, ecofallow. Use the
following tank mixtures for control of emerged annual weeds before planting corn or sorghum in the
Ecofarming System. Make no more than one pre-emergence treatment with 2,4-D per year.

AID TO TILLAGE
This product, used in conjunction with preplant and conventional fallow tillage practices will provide control of
downy brome, cheat, volunteer wheat, tansy mustard and foxtail. Apply 27 fluid ounces (0.84 quart) of this
product in 3 to 10 gallons of water per acre to weeds that are actively growing. Treat when weeds are less
than 6 inches in height. Application must be followed by conventional tillage practices before regrowth of the
treated plant occurs. Allow at least 1 day after application before tillage.
AMMONIUM SULFATE
The addition of 1 to 2% dry ammonium sulfate by weight (or liquid equivalent) or 8.5 to 17 pounds per 100
gallons of water may increase the performance of this product and its tank mixtures on annual weeds. The
improvement in performance may be apparent where environmental stress is a concern. Low -quality
ammonium sulfate may contain material that will not readily dissolve which could result in nozzle tip plugging.
To determine quality, perfo rm a jar test by adding 113 cups of ammonium sulfate to 1 gallon of water and,
agitate for 1 minute. If undissolved sediment is observed, pre- dissolve the ammonium sulfate in water and
filter prior to addition to the spray tank. If ammonium sulfate is added directly to the spray tank, add slowly
with agitation. Adding too quickly may clog outlet line. ENSURE THAT AMMONIUM SULFATE IS
COMPLETELY D ISSOLVED IN THE SPRAY TANK BEFORE ADDING HERBICIDES. THOROUGHLY
RINSE THE SPRAY SYSTEM WITH CLEAN WATER AFTER USE TO REDUCE CORROSION.
NOTE: Compatibility problems may occur at carrier volumes below 5 gallons per acre.
APPLICATION EQUIPMENT
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
This product may be applied using either ground, aerial spray or hand- held equipment. Use extreme care to
avoid misting or drifting of herbicide solution onto foliage, green stems or fruit of desirable crops, trees or
plants during both growing and dormant periods since even very small quantities of spray can cause severe
plant injury.

Ground Application: Apply specified rates of this product in 3 to 10 gallons of water per acre as a broadcast
spray. For optimum spray distribution and coverage, use flat fan or low volume flood nozzles. When using
flood nozzles, space them no more than 40 inches apart and ensure double overlap of spray pattern. Refer
to the manufacturer's recommendations for correct pressure and nozzle height above the target canopy.
Avoid pressure and nozzles which produce fine droplets or mist. Do not apply greater than 4 feet above
canopy.
Use appropriate marking devices to ensure uniform spray coverage and best results from this product .
Hand-held and High Volume Equipment (use coarse sprays only): Mix this product in clean water and
apply to foliage of vegetation to be controlled. For applications made on a spray-to-wet basis, spray coverage
should be uniform and complete. Do not spray to the point of runoff. Use a 1 % solution for annual weed
control and Field bindweed suppression.
Aerial Application: Apply the specified rates of this product in 3 to 5 gallons of water per acre as a broadcast
spray. TO PREVENT INJURY TO ADJACENT DESIRABLE VEGETATION, APPROPRIATE BUFFER
ZONES MUST BE MAINTAINED.
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) 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 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.
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
Page 11 of 21
635SP-1115*
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 cons istent 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.
Additional requirements for ground boom application:
• Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy.
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.
CORN
For Use With Hooded Sprayers
This product may be used through hooded sprayers for weed control between the rows of corn. Only hooded
sprayers that completely enclose the spray pattern may be used.
The spray pattern is completely enclosed on the top and all 4 sides by a hood, thereby shielding the crop
from the spray solution. This equipment must be set up and operated in a manner that avoids bouncing or
raising the hoods off the ground in any way. I f the hoods are raised, spray particles may escape and come
into contact with the crop, causing damage or destruction of the crop. The spray hoods must be operated on
the ground or skimming across the ground. Tractor speed must be adjusted to avoid bouncing of the spray
hoods. Avoid operation on rough or sloping ground where the spray hoods might be raised off the ground.
When applying to corn that is grown on raised beds, ensure that the hood is designed to completely enclose
the spray solution. If necessary, extend the front and rear flaps of the hoods to reach the ground in deep
furrows.
Follow these requirements:
• The spray hoods must be operated on the ground or skimming across the ground.
• Do not apply more than 42 fluid ounces (1.3 quarts) of this product per acre per application.
• Corn must be at least 12 inches tall, measured without extending leaves.
• Do not apply after tasseling.
• Leave at least an 8 inch untreated strip over the drill row. For example, if the crop row width is 38
inches, the maximum width of the spray hood should be 30 inches.
• Maximum tractor speed: 5 miles per hour.
• Maximum wind speed: 10 miles per hour.
• Use low-drift nozzles.
Crop injury may occur when the foliage of treated weeds comes into direct contact with leaves of the crop.
Do not apply this product when the leaves of the crop are growing in direct contact with weeds to be treated.
Droplets, mist, foam or splatter of the herbicide solution may contact the crop and cause discoloration,
stunting or destruction.
Contact of this product in any manner to any vegetation to which treatment is not intended may cause
damage. Such damage shall be the sale responsibility of the applicator.

foxtail and prickly lettuce.
FALLOW SYSTEMS
This product may be applied to idle land, postharvest to crops such as cotton or between crops. For best results,
treat when weeds are young and actively growing. Apply 64 to 98 fluid ounces (2 to 3 quarts) of this product per
acre. Use higher rates in dense or larger weeds stands or when weeds are under stress. Follow replant intervals
below to prevent illegal residues in the following crop.
Labeled Crops
Within 29 days following an application of this product, plant only those crops names as use sites on this or other
registered 2,4- D labels. Follow more specific limitations, if any, provided in the directions for individual crops.
Labeled crops may be at risk for crop injury or loss when planted soon after application, especially in the first 14
days. Consider the degradation factors described below in weighing this risk.
Other Crops
All other crops may be planted 30 or more days following an application without concern for illegal residues in the
planted crop. However, under certain conditions, there may be a risk of injury to susceptible crops. Consider the
degradation factors descri bed below 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 this product were applied and
conditions following application have included warm, moist soil conditions that favor rapid degradation of 2,4 -D.

RANGELANDS
Preventing viable seed production is key to the successful control and invasion of annual grassy weeds in
rangelands. Follow-up applications in sequential years should eliminate most of the viable seeds.
Grazing of treated areas should be delayed to encourage growth of desirable perennials. Allowing desirable
perennials to flower and reseed in the treated area will encourage successful transition.
Use Restrictions
• Do not make more than one application per year.
• Do not cut grass or forage for hay.
Use Precautions
• Do not use ammonium sulfate when spraying rangeland grasses with this product.
Post-emergence Applications to Control Grass Weeds
When applied as directed, this product will control or suppress many annual grass weeds growing in perennial
cool and warm season grass rangelands.
Apply 40 to 54 fluid ounces (1.25 to 1.68 quarts) of this product to control or suppress many weeds, including
downy brome, cheat grass, cereal rye and jointed goatgrass in rangelands. Apply when most mature brome
plants are in early flower and before the plants including seedheads turn color.
Allowing for secondary weed flushes to occur in the spring following rain events further depletes the seed
reserve, and encourages perennial grass conversion on weedy sites. Fall applications are possible where
spring moisture is usually limited and Fall germination allows for good weed growth.
For medusahead control, apply 54 fluid ounces (1.68 quarts) when the medusahead has reached the 3- leaf
stage. Delaying applications beyond this stage will result in reduced or unacceptable control. Fire may be
useful in eliminating the thatch layer produced by slow decaying culms prior to application. Allow new growth
to occur before spraying after a burn. Repeat applications in subsequent years may be necessary to eliminate
the seed bank before reestablishing desirable perennial grasses in medusahead- dominated rangelands.
Slight discoloration of the desirable grasses may occur, but they will regreen and regrow under moist soil
conditions as effects of this product wear off.
Post-emergence Applications to Control Noxious Weeds
Page 18 of 21
635SP-1115*
When applied as directed, this product will provide control or suppression of noxious weeds growing in
rangelands, perennial grasslands, roadsides, or similar industrial sites specified on this label. For best results
on biennial or perennial noxious weeds, treat early season when target plants are in the rosette stage of
growth, except as described below. See specific weed control directions listed below.
Apply 40 to 54 fluid ounces (1.25 to 1.68 quarts) of this product per acre at specific water volumes.
Leafy Spurge: Apply 40 to 54 fluid ounces (1.25 to 1.68 quarts) of this product alone, or in mixtures with 4 to
6 fluid ounces of dicamba (e.g., Banvel) herbicide, or 4 to 8 fluid ounces of picloram (e.g., Tordon) herbicide
at early flower bud stage. This application works best in areas of greater than 20 inch average annual rainfall
or when local conditions provide adequate soil moisture to promote vigorous growth.
Perennial Pepperweed: Apply 40 to 54 fluid ounces (1.25 to 1.68 quarts) of this product per acre alone or in
combination with 0.5 ounce per acre of Escort from early bud stage through full flower.
Yellowstar Thistle, Spotted Knapweed, Diffuse Knapweed,Musk Thistle, and Common Tease l: Apply
40 to 54 fluid ounces (1.25 to 1.68 quarts ) of this product alone or in combination with 0.25 to 0.5 pint
clopyralid (e.g., Transline) herbicide, or 4 to 8 fluid ounces of picloram (e.g., Tordon) herbicide per acre at
the rosette stage through early bolting.
Note: When applied over desirable perennial grasses, these mixtures may result in temporary grass leaf
discoloration. Therefore, where desirable perennial grasses are present and slight and temporary
discoloration cannot be tolerated, do not apply more than 40 fluid ounces (1.25 quarts) per acre.
