|
||
Respirator fit testing, medical qualification, and training
|
||
Using a program that conforms to OSHA’s requiremen ts (see 29 CFR Part 1910.134), employers must
|
||
verify that any handler who uses a respirator is:
|
||
x Fit-tested and fit-checked,
|
||
x Trained, and
|
||
x Examined by a qualified medical practitioner to ensure physical ability to safely wear the style of
|
||
respirator to be worn. A qualified medical practiti oner is a physician or other licensed health care
|
||
professional who will evaluate the ability of a worker to wear a respirator. The initial evaluation
|
||
consists of a questionnaire that asks about medical conditions (s uch as a heart condition) that
|
||
would be problematic for respirator use. If concer ns are identified, then additional evaluations,
|
||
such as a physical exam, might be necessary. The initial evaluation
|
||
must be done before respirator
|
||
use begins. Handlers must be reexamined by a qual ified medical practitioner if their health status
|
||
or respirator style or use-conditions change.
|
||
Upon request by local/state/federal /tribal enforcement personnel, employers must provide documentation
|
||
demonstrating how they have complied with these requirements.
|
||
Engineering Control Statements
|
||
Mixers and loaders supporting aerial applications ar e required to use closed systems that provide dermal
|
||
and inhalation protection. The closed system must be used in a manner that meets the requirements listed
|
||
in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4)].
|
||
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements
|
||
listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for ag ricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the
|
||
handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.

||
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
|
||
To be effective, treatment for diquat poisoning must begin IMMEDIATELY. Treatment consists of binding
|
||
diquat in the gut with suspensions of activated charcoal or bentonite clay, administration of cathartics to
|
||
enhance elimination, and removal of diquat from th e blood by charcoal hemoperfusion or continuous
|
||
hemodialysis. If in eyes, treat symptomatically. Symptoms may develop gradually. Severe damage may
|
||
be caused by apparently trivial contact and healin g may be delayed. Medical supervision should be
|
||
continued until healing is complete.

SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS
|
||
This product is a herbicide used to control weeds in the following sites:
|
||
x preharvest aid to desiccate labeled crops to facilitate harvesting
|
||
x labeled nonbearing crops
|
||
x noncrop or nonplanted areas on farms
|
||
x aquatic areas
|
||
x commercial greenhouses and nurseries
|
||
x dormant established turfgrass (bermudagrass, zoysiagrass – nonfood or feed crop)
|
||
x landscape, industrial, recreational, commercial, residential, and public areas
|
||
x ornamental seed crops (flowers, bulbs, etc. – excluding the state of California)
|
||
x turf renovation (all turf areas except commercial sod farms)
|
||
|
||
This product works by being absorbed by the weed, and, within a few days, the weed shows signs of dying.
|
||
Optimum results are seen if the weeds are young, actively growing, and free from stress.
|
||
|
||
To avoid injury to desired crops, ornamentals or de sirable plants, use caution to prevent drift during
|
||
application and clean all spray equipment thoroughly with water after use. Avoid application to muddy
|
||
water or disturbing the water during application that reduce weed control. To avoid reduced herbicidal
|
||
activity, do not use dirty or muddy water in preparing spray solutions of this product. Avoid application
|
||
under conditions of high wind, water flow, or wave action.
|
||
|
||
6
|
||
Do not allow sprays to come in contact with or drift to, foliage of ornamental plants or food crops.
|
||
Do not graze livestock on treated turf or feed treated thatch to livestock.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
Mandatory Spray Drift Directions
|
||
|
||
Aerial Applications
|
||
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the vegetative canopy, unless a
|
||
greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
x For all applications, applicators are required to use a medium or coarser spray droplet size
|
||
(ASABE S572.1).
|
||
x The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade
|
||
diameter for helicopters.
|
||
x Applicators must use ½ swath displacement up wind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
x Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Groundboom Applications
|
||
x Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet
|
||
above the ground or crop canopy.
|
||
x For all applications, applicators are required to use a medium or coarser spray droplet size
|
||
(ASABE S572.1).
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Boom-less Ground Applications:
|
||
x Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1) for all
|
||
applications.
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Spray Drift Advisories
|
||
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
|
||
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that
|
||
provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for
|
||
drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental
|
||
conditions.
|
||
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size - Ground Boom
|
||
x Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray
|
||
drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is
|
||
needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate.
|
||
x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target
|
||
spray volume and droplet size.
|
||
x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using
|
||
nozzles designed to reduce drift.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
|
||
x Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles.
|
||
Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
|
||
|
||
7
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT - Ground Boom
|
||
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform
|
||
coverage. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal
|
||
bounce.
|
||
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
|
||
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, do
|
||
not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater
|
||
application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded
|
||
sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on
|
||
the target area.
|
||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of
|
||
evaporation.
|
||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized
|
||
by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and
|
||
light to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the
|
||
movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers
|
||
and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion,
|
||
while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid
|
||
applications during temperature inversions.
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY
|
||
WIND CONDITIONS.
|
||
Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
|
||
Boom-less Ground Applications:
|
||
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
|
||
Handheld Technology Applications:
|
||
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
|

WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
For resistance management, this prod uct contains a Group 22 herbicide – diquat dibromide. Any weed
|
||
population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to diquat dibr omide and other Group 22
|
||
herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate th e weed population if these herbicides are used
|
||
repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed.
|
||
|
||
When herbicides that affect the same biological site of action are used repeatedly over several years to
|
||
control the same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring resistant biotypes may survive a
|
||
correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and be come dominant in that field. Adequate control of
|
||
these resistant weed biotypes cannot be expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be necessary
|
||
to retreat the problem area using a product affecting a different site of action.
|
||
|
||
To delay herbicide resistance take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
|
||
• Rotate the use of this product or other Group 22 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 resi stance-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 cr op rotation, and that considers tillage ( or other
|
||
|
||
8
|
||
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 po pulations 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) surv iving plants mixed with controlled
|
||
individuals of the same species. If resistance is susp ected, 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 fi elds by cleaning harvesti ng 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 certifie d 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 your Nufarm representative at 855-280-
|
||
6609.]
|
||
It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides ap plied to individual fields to help obtain information
|
||
on the spread and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Contact your local sales representative, crop advisor, or
|
||
extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to this MOA have been found in your region. Do
|
||
not assume that each listed weed is being controlled by this mechanisms of action. Co-formulated active
|
||
ingredients are intended to broaden the spectrum of weeds that are controlled. Some weeds may be
|
||
controlled by only one of the active ingredient in this product.
|
||
|
||
Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
|
||
* Failure to control a weed species normally cont rolled by the herbicide at the dose applied,
|
||
especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
|
||
* A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
|
||
* Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
|
||
AGRICULTURAL USES
|
||
Apply this product to dessicate certain crops as a prehar vest aid to facilitate harvesting. This product can
|
||
also be applied as a general herbicide to control weeds in nonbearing crops and noncrop areas.
|
||
This product acts on contact with actively growing gr een plant tissue and for effective control, complete
|
||
coverage of all green plant tissue is required. Signs of herbicidal activity are usually apparent within a few
|
||
days of application. Improper application technique and/or application to large, stressed, or mowed weeds
|
||
will generally result in unacceptable control. Weeds that emerge after application of this product will not be
|
||
controlled or suppressed. Weeds that are established or larger than 6” my require retreatment.
|
||
NOTE: Cool (below 55°F) or cloudy, overcast weather will slow this product activity but will not affect
|
||
performance.
|
||
USE PRECAUTIONS
|
||
x Do NOT allow spray to contact or drift to desirable vegetation or severe plant injury or death will result.
|
||
x Do NOT use dirty or muddy water when diluting this product.
|
||
x Do NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
|
||
x Rain or irrigation occurring within 30 minutes of application negatively impacts herbicidal activity.
|
||
x Be sure to rinse all spray equipment thoroughly with water after use.
|
||
As with any dessicant consider the following before use:
|
||
|
||
9
|
||
x Premature application will result in the harvest of green seed
|
||
x Pod drop will increase during heavy winds following application
|
||
x Effects may be more pronounced with some varieties
|
||
The user of this product accepts the responsibility for:
|
||
x Knowing the sensitivity of the variety treated,
|
||
x Properly timing the application, and
|
||
x Accepting the risk of unfavorable weather conditions after application.
|
||
x Human flagging is prohibited
|
||
|
||
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Apply this product to newly emerged weeds while ac tively growing and before they become too large
|
||
(weeds 1 - 6 inches in height are easiest to control). Be sure to follow the specified rates listed in the
|
||
specific crop instructions below, using the higher rates when weeds are large or dense or when applying
|
||
for harvest aid and the crop vegetation is dense.
|
||
If weeds have been mowed or grazed (removing much of the green foliage) be sure to allow weeds to
|
||
regrow to a height of 2 - 4 inches before application. For harvest aid applications, refer to the specific crop
|
||
instructions below for application timing specifications.
|
||
NOTE: Because dust can coat target surfaces and re duce product activity, avoid applying in extremely
|
||
dusty conditions (e.g., dust caused by high winds or the passage of equipment tires).
|
||
Spray Equipment
|
||
Be sure to follow the specific instructions for minimum spray volumes listed in the crop specific instructions
|
||
below. Note that the specifications are minimum volumes only, and increase spray volumes as necessary
|
||
to obtain complete coverage of the target weed or pl ant (without causing foliage runoff). For best results
|
||
use flat fan nozzles. Other nozzles provide less than complete coverage resulting in reduced performance.
|
||
NOTE: When spraying less than 20 gals. of spray carrier per acre, target weeds must not exceed 6 inches
|
||
in height.
|
||
Adjuvants
|
||
When applying this product, be sure to always add one of the following adjuvants:
|
||
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS) - Add a NIS containing 75% or greater surface active agent at 0.06-0.5% v/v
|
||
(1/2 – 4 pts. per 100 gals.) of the finished spray volume.
|
||
Other Adjuvants - Use adjuvants other than NIS but that meet the following criteria:
|
||
x Contains only EPA exempt ingredients.
|
||

AQUATIC AND NONCROP USES
|
||
New York – Not for Sale or Use in New York State without Supplemental Special Local Needs
|
||
Labeling.
|
||
This product is used to control aquatic weeds in public waters such as ponds, lakes, reservoirs, marshes,
|
||
bayous, drainage ditches, canals, streams, rivers, and other slow-moving or quiescent bodies of water. Do
|
||
not apply to water that is moving or if outflow leads to public waters (i.e., apply only to still water ponds,
|
||
lakes and drainage ditches).
|
||
Optimum control of submersed weeds is obtained by applying this product when the weeds are actively
|
||
growing (photosynthesizing), typically when water temperatures are about 50°F or more (this occurs usually
|
||
in the Spring or early Summer).
|
||
|
||
13
|
||
Precautions and Restrictions:
|
||
x Obtain all necessary approval and/or permits before application if required. Consult the responsible
|
||
state agencies (i.e., Fish and Game Agencies, State Water Conservation authorities, or Department of
|
||
Natural Resources).
|
||
x Apply this product by those applicators certified for aquatic pest control authorized by the State or local
|
||
government, Federal or State public agencies su ch as Water Management District personnel and
|
||
municipal officials, and by Corps of Engineers.
|
||
x For water bodies containing dense weeds, apply this pr oduct to only 1/3 to ½ of the water body area at
|
||
one time. If a repeat application is required, wait for 14 days. Using this product in this manner will
|
||
prevent loss of oxygen in the water body which occurs when dead weeds begin to decompose which
|
||
often leads to suffocation of fish.
|
||
x Do not apply this product in areas where commercial processing of fish which produces fish protein
|
||
concentrate or fish meal is practiced. Prior to application, coordinate application with and obtain
|
||
approval from local and/or State authorities.
|
||
x Use water treated with this product only after the specified number of days have passed after
|
||
application (refer to the table below for these water us e restrictions). Alternatively, use the water at a
|
||
different time after application only if an approved assay (ex. PAM II Spectrometric Method) shows that
|
||
no more than the designated maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) of 0.02 mg/L (ppm) of diquat
|
||
dibromide (calculated as the cation) is present in the water.
|
||
x Do not apply this product on cattails ( Typha spp.) as a target weed species.
|
||
x If posting is required by your St ate or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulations for
|
||
specific details.
|
||
x Do not apply this product at a rate greater than 2.5 lb ai/surface-acre per application for the control of
|
||
floating, emergent, or marginal vegetation. Do not apply this product at a rate greater than 1 lb ai/acre-
|
||
foot per application for the control of submersed weeds.
|
||
x Waters treated with this product may be hazardou s to non-target aquatic organisms. Treatment of
|
||
aquatic weeds and algae can result in oxygen loss from decomposition of dead biomass. This oxygen
|
||
loss can cause fish and invertebrate suffocation. To minimize this hazard, do not use products
|
||
containing diquat dibromide to treat more than ½ of the water body (excluding water infrastructure and
|
||
constructed conveyances such as drainage canals, ditches and pipelines or intakes and aqueducts for
|
||
drinking water or irrigation use) to avoid depletion of oxygen due to decaying vegetation. Wait at least
|
||
7 days between diquat dibromide applications to adjacent treatment areas within the same waterbody.
|
||
Begin treatment along the shore and proceed outward in bands to allow fish to move into untreated
|
||
areas. Consult with the state or local agency with primary responsibility for regulating pesticides before
|
||
applying this product to public waters to determine if a permit is required.

||
water’s surface, apply this product in a water carrier or an invert emulsion through boom trailing hoses
|
||
carrying nozzle tips that direct the dilute spray below the water surface to ensure adequate weed coverage.
|
||
Bottom Placement: For submersed weeds (ex. Hydrilla, Bladderwort, or Coontail) that have
|
||
reached the water surface and/or where the water is slowly moving through the weed growth, apply this
|
||
product in an invert emulsion carrier with weighted ho ses that injects the diluted spray solution near the
|
||
bottom. Adding a copper-based algaecide improves control. Alternatively, a pretreatment application with
|
||
a copper based algaecide improves overall control if algae are present along with submersed weeds.

LANDSCAPE, INDUSTRIAL, RECREATIONAL, COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL, AND PUBLIC AREAS
|
||
This product is a non-selective herbicide and it will kill broadleaf and grassy weeds in industrial, recreational,
|
||
golf course, commercial, residential, and public areas within 24 to 36 hours. Do not allow sprays to contact
|
||
desirable plant foliage or injury will occur.
|
||
To be effective as a contact/desiccant herbicide, this product must completely cover the target weeds. Best
|
||
results are seen when this product is applied to young, actively growing weeds. Do not apply to weeds that
|
||
are growing under stress. Use the specified application techniques for acceptable weed control.
|
||
For weeds that are difficult to control, such as perennial, or deeply-rooted weeds, control is often obtained
|
||
by applications of this product as a tank mix with other systemic-type herbicides. This product, when applied
|
||
as a tank-mix with a preemergent herbicide labeled for th e intended use site, will provide residual control.
|
||
Before preparing large volume of a tank-mix of this pr oduct with other herbicides, check that the tank-mix
|
||
is physically compatible by mixing only a small amount of the tank mix. If the mixture balls up, forms flakes,
|
||
sludges, jells, oily films or layers, or other precipitates, do not use this combination: it is not compatible.
|
||
Read and follow the other product labels for specific application directions.
|
||
It is not possible for Nufarm to test all possible tank mixtures of this product with other pesticides for
|
||
compatibility, efficacy, or other adverse effects. Consult your state experimental station, state university or
|
||
extension agent before tank-mixing this product with other herbicides.
|
||

|
||
benches: This product can be used to eliminate undesired grass and broadleaf plant growth in narrow-
|
||
banded areas along the areas listed.
|
||
Since this product does not translocate systemically, it can be used as an edging or pruning tool. This
|
||
product must be applied only to the select, narrow-banded areas of grass or undesirable weed growth found
|
||
in desirable ornamental bedding plants, ground covers , etc. This product will only control vegetation
|
||
growing within the width of the spray application. Do not exceed the labeled rate of this product or concrete-
|
||
based materials will be stained.

(ALL TURF AREAS EXCEPT COMMERCIAL SOD FARMS)
|
||
This product is used to desiccate golf course turf and other turf areas prior to renovation. For suppression
|
||
of regrowth and quick desiccation of treated turfgrass, use this product as a tank mix with other systemic
|
||
non-selective or systemic postemergence grassy weed herbicides. Before tank mixing with other products,
|
||
read and follow the other product labels for specific application directions and restrictions.
|
||
Broadcast (Ground) Application: 1 to 2 pts. of this product per acre plus a nonionic surfactant (contains
|
||
75% or greater nonionic surfactant) at the manufacturer’s specified rate in 20 to 100 gals. of water. For
|
||
smaller spray solution volumes, mix 4 teaspoons of th is product and the appropriate amount of nonionic
|
||
surfactant in 1 gal. of water. Apply this product as a full coverage spray to thoroughly contact the turfgrass.
|
||
Make applications only when the turf is dry, free from dew or other moisture. Increased water volumes (100
|
||
gal. of water per acre) will enhance turf desiccation, especially when turfgrass is dense and thick.
