3) A Note to Physician must be added to the label and must read:
"Note to Physician
Probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage."
4) Per the acute toxicity review, the Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals must be revised
to read:
"DANGER
Corrosive. Causes irreversible eye damage. May be fatal if absorbed through skin. Harmful if
swallowed. Do not get in eyes, on skin:, or on clothing."
5) Per the acute toxicity review and the RED, the PPE section must be revised to read:
"Some materials that are chemical-resistant to this product are made of any waterproof material.
If you want more options, follow the instructions for category A on an EPA chemical-resistance
category selection chart.
Handlers using engineering controls must wear:

apron.
All other handlers must wear:
Coveralls over short sleeved shirt and short pants,
Chemical-resistant footwear plus socks,
Protective Eyewear,
Chemical-resistant gloves,
Chemical-resistant apron when applying as a spray. to citrus or if exposed to the concentrate, and
Chemical-resistant headgear if overhead exposure.
See engineering controls for additional requirements."
6) The following Engineering Control text.must be added to the label:
"Pilots must use an enclosed cockpit that meets the requirements listed in the WPS for
agricultural pesticides [40CFR 170.240 (d)( 6)."
Also, the "2" must be deleted from the respirator text (" ... or a NIOSH-approved respirator with
any N 2, R, P, or HE filter.") appearing in the engineering' control section.
7) The following User Safety Requirements text must be added to the label:
"Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for
washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other
. laundry."
Page 3
EPA Reg. 228-329
"Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated
with this product's concentrate. Do not reuse them."
8) The following text must be added to the EnvirQrunental Hazards section currently on the
label:
"This pesticide may be hazardous to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to
water, to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water
mark. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adj acent to treated areas.
Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water or rinsate."
9) The label should be revised per PR Notice 2007-4 and the product chemistry review to
include the required language for nonrefillable and refillable container types and "their
corresponding reuse and residue removal rules.
10) The rate of 38 ounces applied to 2.5 acres (.76Ibs ae per acre) to "winter grains" exceeds the
maximum allowable rate of 0.5 lbs ae per acre per application for preharvest use. The label
should be revised/clarified. .
11) The text "Plant only labeled crops within 29 days following application" should be deleted
from the label because it conflicts with the text "Do not plant any crop for 3 months after
treatment or until chemical has disappeared from soil" also appearing in the use directions for
fallow land.
12) For grass seed crops, the following restrictions must be added to the label:
"Do not apply more than 2 applications per year.
The maximum application rate is 2.0 lbs ae per acre per application.
The minimum retreatment interval is 21 days."
l3) It is unclear whether this product is intended for use on filberts. This issue should be
clarified. If intended for use on filberts, the following restrictions must be added to the directions
for use:
"For filberts, only:
The preharvest interval (PHI) is 45 days.
Postemergence
Limited to 4 applications per year.
The maximum application rate is 1.0 lbs ae per 100 gallons of spray solution per application.
The minimum retreatment interval is 30 days."
14) Per the RED, the text "The maximum rate per crop cycle is 1.0 lbs ae per acre" must be
added to the restrictions section for soybeans.
15) Because the rate restrictions for noncrop areas (airfields, fencerows, rights-Of-way,
roadsides, ditches, vacant lots) are different from the restrictions for ornamental turf sites (golf
Page 4
EPA Reg. 228-329
courses, cemeteries, parks, lawns), the noncrop and ornamental turf directions for use and
restrictions must appear separately on the label. Additionally, the following rate restrictions must
be added to the label for ornamental turf:
"Ornamental Turf:
P.ostemergence:
. Do not apply more than 2 broadcast applications per year.
The maximum application rate is 1.5 lbs ae per acre per application.
The maximum seasonal rate is 3.0 lbs ae per acre, excluding spottreatments."
The text "On turf, apply a maximum of 40 ounces (2 lbs ae) of this product per acre per
application per site" is unacceptable because it exceeds the allowable rate of 1.5 lbs ae per acre
per application as listed above. The label must be revised.
16) The text "On rangeland apply a maximum of 2 packets (3 8 ounces) of this product per 1.13
acres per application per site" appearing on Page 10 under the heading "Selective Weeding in
Non-Crops" should be relocated to the "Grasses" heading where the pasture and rangeland
directions appear.
17) The text in bold type below must be added t<;> the aquatic use section of the label and this
section must be revised to read:
"Ditchbank application
Postemergence:
Limited to 2 applications per season.
Maximum of 2.0 lbs ae/acre per application.
Minimum of 30 days between applications.
Spot treatment permitted.
Do not use on small canals with a flow rate less than 10 cubic feet per second (CPS) where water
will be used for drinking purposes. CFS may be estimated by using the formula below. The
approximate velocity needed for the calculation can be determined by observing the length of
time that it takes a floating object to travel a defined distance.
Divide the distance (ft.) by the time (sec.) to estimate velocity (ft. per sec.). Repeat 3 times and
use the average to calculate CFS.
Average Width (ft.) x Average Depth (ft.) x Average Velocity (ft. per sec.) = CPS
For ditchbank weeds:
Do not allow boom spray to be directed onto water surface.
Do not spray across stream to opposite bank.
For shoreline weeds:
Allow no more than 2 foot overspray onto water."
"Floating and Emergent Weeds
Maximum of 4.0 lbs ae/surface acre per application.

EPA Reg. 228-329
Limited to 2 applications per season.
Minimum of 21 days between applications.
Spot treatments are permitted.
Apply to emergent aquatic weeds in ponds, lakes, reservoirs, marshes, bayous, drainage
ditches, non-irrigation canals, rivers, and streams that are quiescent or slow moving.
Coordination and approval of local and state authorities may be required, either by letter of
agreement or issuance of speci~l permits for aquatic applications.
Water Use
1. Water for irrigation or sprays:
A. If treated water is intended to be used only for crops or rion-crop areas that are labeled for
direct treatment with2,4-D such as pastures, turf, or cereal grains, the treated water may be used
to irrigate and/or mix sprays for these sites at anytime after the 2,4-D aquatic application.
B. Due to potential phytotoxicity considerations, the following restrictions are applicable:
If treated water is intended to be used to irrigate or mix sprays for plants grown in
commercial nurseries and greenhouses; and other plants or crops that are not labeled for
direct treatment with 2,4-D, the water must not be used unless one of the following
restrictions has been observed:
i. A setback distance from functional water intake(s) of greater than or equal to 600 ft. was used·
for the application, or,
ii. A waiting period of7 days from the time of application has elapsed, or,
iii. An approved assay indicates that.the 2,4-D concentration is 100 ppb (0.1 ppm) or less at the
water intake. Wait at least 3 days after application before initial sampling at water
intake.
2. Drinking water (potable water):
A. Consult with appropriate state or local water authorities before applying this product
to public waters. State or local agencies may require permits. The potable water use
restrictions on this label are to ensure that consumption of water by the public is allowed
only when the concentration of2,4-D in the water is less than the MCL (Maximum
Contaminant Level) of 70 ppb. Applicators should consider the unique characteristics of the
treated waters to assure that 2,4-D concentrations in potable water do not exceed 70 ppb at the
time of consumption.
B. For floating and emergent weed applications, the drinking water setback
distance from functioning potable water intakes is greater than or equal to 600 ft.
C. If no setback distance of greater than or equal to 600 ft. is used for app1ic~tion,
applicators or the authorizing organization must provide a drinking water notification prior to a
2,4-D application to the party responsible for public water supply or to individual private water
uses. Notification to the party responsible for a public water supply or to individual private water
users must be done in a manner to assure that the party is aware of the water use restrictions
when this product is applied to potable water.
The following is an example of a notification via posting, but other methods of notification
Page 6
EPA Reg. 228-329
which convey the above restrictions may be ust:d and may be required in some cases under
state or local law or as a condition of a permit.
Example:
Posting notification should be located every 250 feet including the shoreline of the treated
area and up to 250 feet of shoreline past the application site to 'include immediate public
access points. Posting must include the day and time of application. Posting may be
renioved if analysis of a sample collected at the intake 3 or more days following application
shows thatthe concentration in the water is less than 70 ppb (100 ppb for irrigation or
sprays), or after 7 days following application, whichever occurs first.
Text of notification: Wait 7 days before diverting functioning surface water intakes
from the treated aquatic site to use as drinking water, irrigation, or sprays, unless water at
functioning drinking water intakes is tested at least 3 days after application and is
demonstrated by assay to contain not more'than 70 ppb 2,4-D (100 ppb for ,irrigation or
sprays). Application Date: __ '_ Tinie:. __ _
D. Following each application of this product, treated water must not be used for
drinking water unless one of the following restrictions has been observed:
i. A setback distance from functional water intake(s) of greater than or equal to 600 ft. was used
for the application, or,
ii. A waiting period of at least 7 days from the time of application has elapsed, or,
iii. An approved assay indicates that the 2,4-D concentration is 70 ppb (0.07 ppm) or less at the
water intake. Sampling for drinking water analysis should occur no sooner than 3 days after 2,4-
D application. Analysis of samples must be completed by a laboratory that is certified under the
Safe Drinking Water Act to perform drinking water analysis using a
currently approved version of analytical Method Number 515,555, other methods for 2,4- D as'
may be listed in Title 40 CFR, Part 141.24, or Method Number 4015 (immunoassay of2,4-D)
from U.S. EPA Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste SW-846.
E. Note: Existing potable water intakes that are no longer in use, such as those replaced
by a connection to a municipal water system or a potable water well, are not
considered to be functioning potable water intakes.
F. Drinking water setback distances do not apply to terrestrial applications of 2,4-D
adjacent to water bodies with potable water intakes."
18) If this product is intended for submersed weeds, the following text must be added to the
label:
"Submersed Weeds
Maximum of 10.8 lbs ae/per acre-foot per application.
Limited to 2 applications per season.
Apply to aquatic weeds in ponds, lakes, reservoirs, marshes, bayous, drainage ditches,
nonirrigation canals, rivers, and streams that are quiescent or slow moving.
Do not apply within 21 days of previous application.
When treating moving bodies of water, applications must be made while traveling
upstream to prevent concentration of 2,4-D downstream from the application.

HOT LINE NUMBER
Have the product container or label with you when calling a pOison control center or doctor, or going for treatment.
You may also contact 1-877-325-1840 for emergency medical treatment information.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Fish breathe dissolved oxygen in the water and decaying weeds also use oxygen. Wtjen tr~ating continuous, dense weed masses, it
may be appropriate to treat only part of the infestation at a time. For example, apply the product in lanes separated by untreated strips
that can be treated after vegetation in treated lanes has disintegrated. During the growing season, weeds decompose in a 2 to 3 week
period following treatment. Begin treatment along the shore and proceed outwards in bands to allow fish to move into untreated areas.
Waters having limited and less dense weed infestations may not require partial treatments.
Most cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-0 have been associated with mixinglloading and
disposal sites. Caution should be exercised when handling 2,4-0 pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of groundwater
supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing or transferring this pesticide will reduce the probability of spills. Placement of the
mixing/loading equipment on an impervious pad to contain spills will hefp prevent groundwater contamination.

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 that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers
may be in the area during application.
SPRAY DRIFT REDUCTION
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 ail factors and make
appropriate adjustments when applying this product."
Droplet Size
When applying sprays that contain 2,4-0 as the Sole active ingredient, or when applying sprays that contain 2,4-0 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 atomize(i'lOzzles.
When applying sprays that contain 2,4-0 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 applicator mustdetermine 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 2,4-0 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 feel above Ihe crop canopy.

Generally 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 growing actively. Use enough spray volume for uniform coverage by ground or air application. Unless otherwise
recommended, suggested application rates may be up to 10 gallons of total spray by air or 5 to 25 gallons by ground application
equipment. If only bands or rows are treated, leaving middles untreated, the dosage per crop per acre is reduced proportionately. Do
not apply when temperature exceeds 90'F.
TO PREPARE THE SPRAY
Mix this product only with water. Just add the recommended water to your spray tank, then add the appropriate amount of product into
the spray tank and agitate for three to five minutes. This product will make a stable water mixture. It is non-flammable.
NOTES: (1) Adding oil, wetting agent, or other surfactant to the spray may be used to increase effectiveness on weeds, but doing so
may reduce selectivity to crops resulting in crop damage. (2) Every 2 packets (38 ounces) of this product is equal to 5 pints of 2,4-0
"4 lb." Amine. (3) Using 2 packets (38 ounces) for a 5 acre coverage is equivalent to applying 2,4-D "4 lb." Amine at a rate of 1 pint per
acre.

SELECTIVE WEEDING IN CROPS
WITH LIQUID NITROGEN SOLUTIONS
For late season control of young Smartweed, Cocklebur, Annual Morningglory and other annual broadleaf weeds less than 1 inch high.
Field should be as clean as possible and corn 20 to 30 inches tall. The spray must be prepared by first adding the required amount of
liquid nitrogen to spray tank (80 to 120 Ibs. nitrogen per acre). Next dilute 2 packets (38 ounces) of this product in 5 gallons of clean
water. Start the agitator and (slowly) add the diluted Dri-Clean C and water mixture. This combination of nitrogen and Dri-Clean C will
cover 5 acres. Spray immediately, maintaining continuous agitation until spray tank is empty. Direct the spray to lower 3 to 4 inches
of corn stalk. Use spray equipment designed to handle corrosive liquid nitrogen solutions. After spraying, remove any remaining
solution and rinse rig thoroughly with water. Mix only one tank at a time. Do not spray during or immediately following cold weather.
CITRUS FLOOR
Broadleat Control
Use 18 to 27 ounces of this product in 10-100 gallons of water to treat one acre. For band or spot treatment calculate rates according
to the actual portion of acre treated. Apply as a directed spray onto weeds to point of runoff when weeds are young and actively
growing. Repeat applications through the growing and dormant season as needed.
Ground application only using low silhouette or shielded sprayer to avoid contact with green plant tissue. Use with drift retardant to
increase deposition and reduce drift. Make up to two applications through the dormant and growing seasons as needed. Do not
harvest citrus within 40 days of application. Do not graze of feed cover crops from treated orchards to livestock.
CORN
(Field, Sweet and Popcorn)
Preemergence (For annual grasses and broadleaf weeds)
Apply to soil any time after planting but before corn emerges. Do not use on light sandy soil, or where soil moisture is low. Dissolve 2
packets (38 ounces) in 4 to 30 gallons of water and apply over 2 acres. The amount of water is dependent on whether application is
made with air or ground equipment.
Emergence
Dissolve 2 packets (38 ounces) in 10 to 100 gallons of water per 5 acres. Apply just as corn plants are breaking ground.
Postemergence (For broadleat weeds)
Dissolve 2 packets (38 ounces) in 10 to 100 gallons of water. This mixture will treat 5 to 10 acres. Apply when most weeds have
germinated. Spray after corn emerges and until 8 inches tall. Use low rates on inbreds. Corn is susceptible to injury shortly after
emergence and aHer unfoldirJg of leaves. Do not spray during this period nor after first tassels appear. When corn is over 8 inches
tall, use drop nozzle to keep spray off corn foliage. Spray must strike tops of weeds but should not drench corn plants. Do not apply
from tasseling to dough stage. Injury to corn is most likely to occur if this product is applied when corn is growing rapidly under high
temperatures and high soil moisture conditions. In such conditions, use the low rate. Do not use higher rates unless possible crop
injury will be accepted. After application, delay cultivation for 8 to 10 days to allow the corn to overcome any temporary brittleness.
Preharvest
After the hard dough or denting stage, apply by air or ground equipment to suppress perennial weeds, decrease weed seed production,
and control tall weeds such as Bindweed, Cocklebur, Dogbane, Jimsonweed, Ragweed, Sunflower, Velvetle9f and vines that interfere
with harvesting. Dissolve 2 packets (38 ounces) in 5 to 100 gallons of water to treat from 2.5 to 5 acres.

wetting of foliage is essential for maximum control. Speci~1 precautions such as the use of low pressure, large nozzles and thickening
agents should be taken to avoid spray drift in areas of sensitive crops. For DIRECTA-SPRAY™ operation, use this product with 1 pint
of drift control agent in 50 to 1 00 gallons of water. For other applications, follow the drift control agent label for mixing directions. Consult
your State Game and F.ish Department or Water Control Agency prior to application of this product for aquatic weed contro/. Treatment
of aquatic weeds can result in oxygen loss from decomposition of dead weeds. This loss can cause fish suffocation. Therefore, to
minimize this hazard, treat 1/3 to 1/2 of the water area in a single operation and wait at least 10 to 14 days between treatments. Begin
treatments along the shore and proceed outward in bands to allow fish to move into untreated areas. For large bodies of weed infested
waters, leave buffer strips of at least 100 feet wide and delay treatment of these strips for 4 to 5 weeks or until the dead vegetation has
decomposed. Repeat as necessary to kill regrowth and plants missed in previous application.

USE PRECAUTIONS FOR AQUATIC WEED
DITCHBANK APPLICATION
Postemergence
Limited to 2 applications per season.
Maximum of 2.5 pounds of product lacre per application.
Minimum of 30 days between applications.
Spot treatment permitted.
Do not use on small canals with a flow rate less than 10 cubic feet per second (CFS) where water will be used for drinking purposes,
CFS may be estimated by using the formula below. The approximate velocity needed for the calculation can be determined by observing
the length 01 time that it takes a floating object to travel a defined distance. Divide the distance (ft.) by the time (sec.) to estimate
velocity (ft. per sec.). Repeat 3 limes and use the average to calculate CFS.
Average Width (ft.) x Average Depth·(It.) x Average Velocity (ft. per sec.) '" CFS
For ditchbank weeds
Do not allow boom spray to be directed onto water surface.
Do not spray across stream to opposite bank.
For shoreline weeds
Allow no more than 2 foot overspray onto water
FLOATING AND EMERGENT WEEDS
Maximum of 5 pounds of product /surface acre per application.
Limited to 2 applications per season.
Minimum of 21 days between applications.
Spot treatments are permitted.
Apply to emergent aquatic weeds in ponds, lakes, reservoirs, marshes, bayous, drainage ditches, non-irrigation canals, rivers, and
streams that are quiescent or slow moving ..
Coordination and approval of local and state authorities may be required. either by letter of agreement or issuance of special permits
for aquatic applications.
If treated water is intended to be used only for crops or non-crop areas that are labeled for direct treatment with 2,4-0 such as pastures.
turf, or cereal grains, the treated water may be used to irrigate and/or mix sprays for these sites at anytime after the 2,4-0 aquatic
application.
If treated water is'intended to be used to irrigate or mix sprays for plants grown in commercial nurseries and greenhouses; and other
plants or crops that are not labeled for direct treatment with 2,4-0. the water must not be used unless one of the following restrictions
has been observed:
i. A setback distance from functional water intake(s) of greater than or equal to 600 It. was used for the application, or.
ii. A waiting period of 7 days from the time of application has elapsed, or,
iii. An approved assay indicates that the 2,4-0 concentration is 100 ppb (0.1 ppm) or less at the water intake. Wait at least 3 days after
application before initial sampling at water intake.
Consult with appropriate state or local water authorities before applying this product to public waters. State or local agencies may
require permits. The potable water use restrictions on this label are to ensure that consumption of water by the public is allowed only
When the concentration of 2,4-0 in the water is less than the MCl (Maximum Contaminant level) of 70 ppb. Applicators should consider
the unique characteristics of the treated waters to assure that 2,4-0 concentrations in potable water do not exceed 70 ppb at the time
of consumption.
For floating and emergent weed applications, the drinking water setback distance from functioning potable water intakes is greater than
or equal to 600 ft. '
If no setback distance of greater than or equal to 600 ft. is used for application, applicators or the authorizing organization must provide
a drinking water notification prior to a 2,4-0 application to the party responsible for public water supply or to individual private water
uses. Notification to the party responsible for a public water supply or to individual private water users must be done in a manner to
assure that the party is aware of the water use restrictions when this product is applied to potable water.
Following each application of this product. treated water must not be used for drinking water unless' one of the following restrictions
has been observed:
i. A setback distance from functional water intake(s) of greater than or equal to 600 ft. was used for the application, or.
ii. A waiting period of at least 7 days from the time of application has elapsed. or.
iii. An approved assay indicates that the 2.4-0 concentration is 70 ppb (0.07 ppm) or less at the water intake. Sampling for drinking;
water analysiS should occur no sooner than 3 days after 2.4-0 application. Analysis of samples must be completed by a laboratory that
is certified under the Safe Drinking Water Act to perform drinking water analysis using a currently approved version of analytical Method
Number 515, 555, other methods for 2.4- 0 as may be listed in Title 40 CFR. Part 141.24. or Method Number 4015 (immunoassay of
2.4-0) from U.S. EPA Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste SW-846.

WEEDS AND BRUSH ON IRRIGATION CANAL DlTCHBANKS -.SEVENTEEN WESTERN STATES: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho,
Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming.
For control of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds, dissolve two packets (38 ounces) of this product per acre in enough water to wet all parts
of the brush toliage, stem and bark. This may require 30 to 200 gallons of water per acre. Treat when weeds are young and actively growing
before the bud or early bloom stage. For woody brush and patches of perennial broad leaf weeds, mix 4 packets (76 ounces) of this product
in 150 gallons of water. Wet foliage thoroughly using about 1 gallon of solution per square rod.
SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS: Apply with low pressure (10 to 40 psi) power spray equipment mounted on truck, tractor or boat. Apply while
traveling upstream to avoid accidental concentration of chemical into water. Spray when the air is fairly calm; 5 mph or less. Do not use on
small canals (less than 10 cfs) where water will be used for drinking purposes.
Boom spraying onto water surfaces must be held to a minimum and no cross-stream spraying to opposite banks should be permitted. When
spraying shoreline weeds, allow no more than two-foot over-spray onto water with an average of less than one-foot over-spray to prevent
introduction of greater than negligible amounts of chemical into the water.
Do not allow dairy animals to graze on treated areas for at least 7 days after spraying. Water within banks should not be fished.
Local conditions may affect the uses of this chemical as shown on this label. Consult State Experiment Station or Extension Service
weed speCialist for specific recommendations for local weed problems and for information on possible lower dosages.
