PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
|
||
Applicators and other handlers must wear:
|
||
• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
|
||
• Shoes plus socks
|
||
Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables,
|
||
use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
|
||
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||
Users Should:
|
||
• Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.
|
||
Engineering Control Statements:
|
||
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 (40CFR 170.240 (d) (4-6), the
|
||
handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
|
||
IMPORTANT: When 'reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is being used, handlers must be
|
||
provided all PPE specified above for "applicators and other handlers" and have such PPE immediately
|
||
available for use in a emergency, such as a spill or equipment break-down.
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the
|
||
mean high water mark. Do not apply where runoff water may flow, during periods of intense rainfall or to
|
||
water saturated soils as off-target movement and injury may occur. Do not contaminate water when
|
||
cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment washwaters.
|
||
This herbicide is injurious to plants at extremely low concentrations. Nontarget plants may be adversely
|
||
affected from drift and run-off.
|
||
IMPORTANT
|
||
DO NOT USE ON FOOD OR FEED CROPS EXCEPT AS RECOMMENDED BY THIS LABEL. Injury to or
|
||
loss of desirable trees or other plants may result if the precautions listed below are not followed.
|
||
• Do not apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide (except as recommended), or drain or flush equipment on
|
||
or near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas where their roots may extend or in locations where
|
||
the product may be washed or moved into contact with their roots.
|
||
• Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or similar areas except as recommended by
|
||
this label.
|
||
• Prevent drift of spray to desirable plants.
|
||
• Do not contaminate any body of water, including irrigation water.
|
||
• Keep from contact with fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides and seeds.
|
||
Spraying and mixing equipment used with MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide must not be used for subsequent
|
||
applications to food or feed crops with the exception of pastures, rangeland and wheat, as low rates of
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide can kill or severely injure most food or feed crops.
|
||
RESISTANCE
|
||
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 become 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 better manage herbicide resistance through delaying the proliferation and possible dominance of
|
||
herbicide resistance weed biotypes, it may be necessary to change cultural practices within and between
|
||
crop seasons such as using a combinalion of tillage, retreatment, tank-mix partners and/or sequential
|
||
herbicide applications that have a different site of action. Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed
|
||
will promote the spread of resistant biotypes.
|
||
2
|
||
|
||
It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides applied to individual fields to help obtain information
|
||
on the spread and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, applicator,
|
||
and/or appropriate state agricultural extension service representative for specific alternative cultural
|
||
practices or herbicide tecommendations available in your area.
|
||
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
|
||
This product may be used as a part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include
|
||
biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and
|
||
practices include field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population
|
||
monitoring and treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult
|
||
your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to
|
||
determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pesUcrop systems in your
|
||
area.

GENERAL INFORMATION
|
||
MSM E·Pro 60 EG Herbicide is a dispersible granule that is mixed in water and applied as a spray. MSM
|
||
E·Pro 60 EG Herbicide controls many annual and perennial weeds and woody plants in non·crop areas,
|
||
conifer and hardwood plantations. MSM E·Pro 60 EG Herbicide may also be used on pastures, or CRP
|
||
as well as selected uncultivated agricultural areas (fence rows, farmyards, and rights·of·way) directly
|
||
adjacent to treated pastures or rangeland, where grazing or harvesting for animal feed may occur.
|
||
MSM E·Pro 60 EG Herbicide may be used for general weed and brush control and for the control of
|
||
certain noxious weeds on noncrop sites, ditchbanks of dry drainage ditches and for selective weed control
|
||
in certain types of unimproved turfgrass. Do not use on irrigation ditches. MSM E·Pro 60 EG Herbicide
|
||
can also be used for controlling and suppressing undesirable weeds and hardwoods in conifer plantations
|
||
and weeds in hardwood plantations.
|
||
MSM E·Pro 60 EG Herbicide controls weeds and woody plants primarily by postemergent activity.
|
||
Although MSM E·Pro 60 EG Herbicide has preemergence activity, best results are generally obtained
|
||
when MSM E·Pro 60 EG Herbicide is applied to foliage after emergence or dormancy break. Generally,
|
||
for the control of annual weeds, MSM E·Pro 60 EG Herbicide provides best results when applied to
|
||
young, actively growing weeds. For the control of perennial weeds, applications made at the bud/bloom
|
||
stage or while the target weeds are in the fall rosette stage may provide the best results. The use rate
|
||
depends upon the weed species and size at the time of application.
|
||
The degree and duration of control may depend on the following:
|
||
• Weed spectrum and infestation intensity
|
||
• Weed size at application
|
||
• Environmental conditions at and following treatment
|
||
• Soil pH, soil moisture, and soil organic matter.
|
||
MSM E·Pro 60 EG Herbicide may be applied on conifer and hardwood plantations and noncrop sites that
|
||
contain areas of temporary surface water caused by the collection of water between planting beds, in
|
||
equipment ruts, or in other depressions created by management activities. It is permissible to treat
|
||
intermittently flooded low lying sites when no water is present. It is also permissible to treat marshes,
|
||
swamps, and bogs after water has receded as well as seasonally dry food deltas. Do not make
|
||
applications to natural or man·made bodies of water such as lakes, reservoirs, ponds, streams and
|
||
canals.
|
||
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
|
||
PESTICIDE HANDLING
|
||
• Calibrate sprayers only with clean water away from the well site.
|
||
• Make scheduled checks of spray equipment.
|
||
• Assure accurate measurement of pesticides by all operation employees.
|
||
• Mix only enough product for the job at hand.
|
||
• Avoid overfilling of spray tank.
|
||
• Do not discharge excess material on the soil at a single spot in the field or mixinglloading
|
||
station.
|
||
• Dilute and agitate excess solution and apply at labeled rates/uses.
|
||
• Avoid storage of pesticides near well sites.
|
||
• When triple rinsing the pesticide container, be sure to add the rinsate to the spray mix.
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
|
||
MSM E·Pro 60 EG Herbicide is absorbed primarily through the foliage of plants, and by the roots to a
|
||
lesser degree. Plant cell division is generally inhibited in sensitive plants within a few hours following
|
||
uptake. Two to 4 weeks after application, leaf growth slows followed by discoloration and tissue death.
|
||
The final effects on annual weeds are evident about 4 to 6 weeks after application. The ultimate effect on
|
||
perennial weeds on woody plants occurs in the growing season following application.
|
||
6
|
||
|
||
Warm, moist conditions following treatment promote the activity of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide while
|
||
cold dry conditions may reduce or delay activity. Weeds and brush hardened off by cold weather or
|
||
drought stress may not be controlled.
|
||
One to two inches of rainfall or sprinkler irrigation (enough to wet the top 2-3 inches of soil profile) may be
|
||
needed to move MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide into the weed root zone before the next flush of weeds
|
||
emerge. The amount of moisture required for sufficient activation increases with crop or weed residue
|
||
and fot finer textured soils. Without sufficient rainfall or sprinkler irrigation to move MSM E-Pro 60 EG
|
||
Herbicide into the weed root zone, weeds that germinate after treatment will not be controlled.
|
||
Application of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide provides the best control in vigorously growing grasses that
|
||
shade competitive weeds. Weed control in areas of thin grass may not be as satisfactory. However, a
|
||
grass canopy that is too dense at application can intercept a spray and reduce weed control.
|
||
MSM EO-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is safe to grasses under normal conditions. However, grasses that are
|
||
stressed from adverse environmental conditions (such as extreme temperatures or moisture), abnormal
|
||
soil conditions, or cultural practices may be injured by applications of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide. In
|
||
addition, different species of grass may be sensitive to treatment with MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide under
|
||
otherwise normal conditions. Application of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide to these species may result in
|
||
injury.
|
||
The use of a surfactant is recommended to enhance the control of susceptible plants, except where
|
||
noted. Apply at a minimum rate (concentration) of X% volume/volume (1 quart per 100 gallons of spray
|
||
solution) or at the manufacturer's recommended rate. Use only EPA approved surfactants containing at
|
||
least 80% active ingredient. Certain types of surfactants, such as those incorporating acetic acid (i.e. LI-
|
||
700), may not be compatible with MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide and may result in decreased performance.
|
||
Certain surfactants may not be suitable for use on desirable plants such as turf and conifers, listed on this
|
||
label. Consult the surfactant manufacturer's label for appropriate uses.
|
||
Weed and brush control may be reduced if rainfall, snowfall or sprinkler irrigation occurs within 4 hours
|
||
following application.
|
||
CONIFER PLANTATIONS
|
||
Application Information
|
||
AGRICULTURAL USES
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is recommended for the control of many species of weeds and deciduous
|
||
trees on sites where conifers are growing or are to be planted. Apply by ground equipment or by air
|
||
(heliCOPter only). Refer to the "Weeds Controlled" and "Brush Species Controlled" for a listing of
|
||
susceptible species.
|
||
Application Timing
|
||
Apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide after weeds have emerged or after undesirable hardwoods have
|
||
broken winter dormancy and have reached the point of full leaf expansion.
|
||
Conifer Site Preparation
|
||
-- Application Before Transplanting
|
||
After consulting the "Weeds Controlled" and "Brush Species Controlled" tables, apply the rates of MSM E
|
||
Pro 60 EG Herbicide recommended for the most difficult to control species on the site.
|
||
Southeast- Apply up to 4 ounces per acre for loblolly and slash pines. Transplant the following planting
|
||
season.
|
||
7
|
||
|
||
Northeast and Lake states- Apply up to 2 ounces per acre for red pine. Transplant the following planting
|
||
season. Apply up to 2 ounces per acre for black, white and Norway spruce. Transplant the following
|
||
spring.
|
||
West- Apply up to 2 ounces per acre prior to planting Douglas Fir, Sitka Spruce, Western Red Cedar,
|
||
Western Hemlock, Ponderosa Pine, and Grand Fir in the Coast Rangeland and western slope of the
|
||
Cascades in Oregon and Washington. These conifer species listed can be planted anytime after
|
||
application. Other conifer species can be planted providing the user has prior experience indicating
|
||
acceptable tolerance to MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide soil residues.
|
||
Without prior experience, it is recommended that other species be planted on a small scale to determine
|
||
selectivity before large-scale plantings are made as unacceptable injury may occur. Etigra will not
|
||
assume responsibility for injury to any conifer species not listed on this label.
|
||

|
||
Consult with the Natural Resources and Conservation Service or other local experts concerning planting
|
||
techniques and other cultural practices to maximize potential for grass establishment.
|
||
Due to the inability of newly planted grass stands to sufficiently compete with weeds, and the severity of
|
||
weed pressure in new grass stands, performance from MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may not always be
|
||
satisfactory. An additional herbicide application or mowing may be needed.
|
||
Use Rates and Application Timing for Grass Establishment in Pasture, Rangeland and CRP
|
||
Preplant (prior to planting) or Preemergence (after planting but before grass emergence)
|
||
Apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide preplant or preemergence at 1/10 ounce/acre on all labeled grasses
|
||
except orchardgrass and Russian wildrye grass. Do not apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide preplant or
|
||
preemergence to orchardgrass and Russian wildrye grass as severe crop injury may result.
|
||
Early Postemergence to New Plantings
|
||
Apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide at 1/10 ounce/acre, plus a non-ionic surfactant at the rate of 2 to 4
|
||
pints/100 gallons of spray solution on all labeled grasses anytime after grass emergence. Do not use a
|
||
spray adjuvant other than non-ionic surfactant.
|
||
Because grass species differ in time of emergence, apply only after majority of grasses are in the 3 to 4
|
||
leaf stage.
|
||
Postemergence to stands with 1-5 leaf grasses planted the previous season
|
||
Apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide at 1/10 ounce/acre plus a non-ionic surfactant at the rate of 2 to 4
|
||
pints/100 gallons of spray solution, on all labeled grasses when the majority of the grasses have one or
|
||
more leaves. Do not use a spray adjuvant other than non-ionic surfactant.

|
||
Timothy 12 months
|
||
Fescue 24 months
|
||
11
|
||
|
||
Fescue Precautions:
|
||
Note that MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may temporarily stunt fescue, cause yellowing or seed
|
||
suppression. To minimize these symptoms, take the following precautions:
|
||
• Do not use more than 4/10 oz.lA of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide
|
||
• Tank mix MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide with 2,4-0
|
||
• Use the lowest recommended rate for target weeds
|
||
• Use a non-ionic surfactant at Y, to 1 pint per 100 gallons of spray solution (1/16 to 1/8% v/v/)
|
||
• Make application later in the spring after the new growth is 5 to 6 inches tall, or in the fall
|
||
• Do not use surfactant when liquid nitrogen is used as a carrier
|
||
• Do not use a spray adjuvant other than non-ionic surfactant
|
||
The first cutting yields may be reduced due to seedhead suppression resulting from treatment with MSM
|
||
E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide.
|
||
Timothy Precautions:
|
||
Timothy should be at least 6" tall at application and be actively growing. Applications of MSM E-Pro 60
|
||
EG Herbicide to timothy under any other conditions may cause crop yellowing and/or stunting. To
|
||
minimize these symptoms, take the following precautions:
|
||
• Do not use more than 4/10 oz.lA of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide
|
||
• Tank mix MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide with 2,4-0
|
||
• Use the lowest recommended rate for target weeds
|
||
• Use a non-ionic surfactant at Y, pint per 100 gallons
|
||
• Make application in the late summer or fall
|
||
• Do not use surfactant when liquid nitrogen is used as a carrier
|
||
• Do not use a spray adjuvant other than non-ionic surfactant
|
||
Application of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide to Pensacola bahiagrass, ryegrass (Italian or perennial)
|
||
and Garrison's creeping foxtail may cause severe injury to and lor loss of pastures.
|
||
Other Pasture and Rangeland Grasses: Varieties and species of forage grasses differ in their
|
||
tolerance to herbicides. When using MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide on a particular grass for the first time,
|
||
limit use to a small area. If no injury occurs throughout the season, larger acreage may be treated the
|
||
following season. Broadleaf pasture species such as alfalfa and clover are highly sensitive to MSM E-Pro
|
||
60 EG Herbicide and will be severely stunted or injured by MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide.
|
||
WEEDS AND BRUSH CONTROLLED OR SUPPRESSED IN PASTURES, RANGELAND AND
|
||
CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM (CRP)
|
||
Unless otherwise directed, treat when weeds are less than 4" tall or in diameter and are actively growing.
|
||
Before using MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide, carefully consider your crop rotation plans and options. For
|
||
rotational flexibility, do not treat all of your pasture, rangeland or CRP acres at the same time.

compared to an untreated area. The degree of suppression varies with the rate used, the size of the
|
||
weeds, and the environmental conditions following treatment.
|
||
SPOT APPLICATIONS FOR THE SUPPRESSION:j: OF WEEDS AND BRUSH
|
||
APPLICATION INFORMATION FOR SPOT APPLICATIONS
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is recommended for the suppression of the following undesirable weed and
|
||
brush species growing in pastures, rangeland or CRP using spot applications. Spot applications may be
|
||
made by using equipment such as back pack sprayers or hand sprayers. MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide
|
||
should be applied as a spray to the foliage and stems. The application volume required will vary with the
|
||
height and density of the brush and the application equipment used. Regardless of the application
|
||
volume and equipment used, thorough coverage of the foliage and stems is necessary to optimize
|
||
results. On tall, dense stands, it is often necessary to spray from both sides to obtain adequate coverage.
|
||
Add a non-ionic surfactant having at least 80% active ingredient at 2-4 pints per 100 gallons of spray
|
||
solution.
|
||
Use Rates for Spot Application
|
||
Mix 1 ounce of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide per 100 gallons of water.
|
||
Application Timing for Spot Applications
|
||
Make a foliar application of the recommended rate of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide during the period from
|
||
full leaf expansion in the spring until the development of full fall coloration.

|
||
the size of the weeds, and the environmental conditions following treatment.
|
||
SPECIFIC WEED PROBLEMS
|
||
Note: Thorough spray coverage of all weed species listed below is verv important.
|
||
Blue/Purple Mustard, Flixweed, and Tansymustard: For best results, apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG
|
||
Herbicide tank mixtures with 2,4-0 or MCPA postemergence to mustards, but before bloom.
|
||
Broom Snakeweed: For best results, apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide at Y, ounce/acre in the fall.
|
||
Applications of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide in the spring will provide suppression only.
|
||
Canada Thistle: For suppression with broadcast applications, apply either MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide
|
||
or MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide plus 2,4-0 or MCPA in the spring after the majority of thistles have
|
||
emerged and are small (rosette stage to 6" elongating stems) and actively growing. The application will
|
||
inhibit the ability of emerged thistles to compete with grass.
|
||
For suppression with spot applications, apply as a foliar spray once plant is fully leaved.
|
||
Corn Gromwell, Cutleaf Evening Primrose and Prostrate Knotweed: Apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG
|
||
Herbicide when weeds are actively growing, are no larger than 2" tall, and when crop canopy will allow
|
||
thorough coverage. Tank mixing 2,4-0 or MCPA with MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide can improve results.
|
||
14
|
||
|
||
Kochia, Russian thistle, Prickly lettuce: Naturally occurring resistant biotypes of these weeds are
|
||
known to occur. For best results, use MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide in a tank mix with Oicamba (such as
|
||
Banvel or Clarity) and 2,4-0. MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide should be applied in the spring when kochia,
|
||
Russian thistle, and prickly lettuce are less than 2" tall or 2" across and are actively growing.
|
||
Multiflora Rose: For control with broadcast applications, apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide at Y. ounce
|
||
per acre as a broadcast application. For control with foliar applied spot applications, apply MSM E-Pro 60
|
||
EG Herbicide at 1 ounce per 100 gallons of water.
|
||
For suppression with broadcast applications, apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide at rates of 3/10 up to Y.
|
||
ounce per acre. Applications should be made in the spring, soon after multiflora rose is fully leafed and is
|
||
less than 3 feet tall.
|
||
For control with Spotgun Basal Soil Treatment, prepare a spray suspension of MSM E-Pro 60 EG
|
||
Herbicide by mixing 1 ounce per gallon water. Mix vigorously until the MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is
|
||
dispersed and agitate periodically while applying the spray suspension. Apply the spray preparation with
|
||
an exact delivery handgun applicator. Apply at the rate of 4 ml for each 2 feet of rose canopy diameter.
|
||
Direct the treatment to the soil within 2 feet of the stem union. When treating large plants and more than
|
||
one delivery is required, make applications on opposite sides of the plant.
|
||
Make applications from early spring to summer.
|
||
Musk Thistle, Scotch Thistle: Apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide at 2/10 to ~ ounce per acre in the
|
||
spring or early summer prior to flowering or in the fall after newly emerged plants have reached the
|
||
rosette stage of growth. Certain biotypes of Musk and Scotch Thistles are less sensitive to MSM E-Pro
|
||
60 EG Herbicide and may not be controlled with MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide rates less than ~ ounce
|
||
per acre. Consult with your local Etigra representative, dealer or applicator for specific use rate and tank
|
||
mix recommendations for your area. Fall applications should be made before the soil freezes.
|
||
Pensacola bahiagrass control in established Bermudagrass pasture: Apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG
|
||
Herbicide at 3/10 ounce per acre after green-up in the spring but before bahiagrass seed head formation.
|
||
Application should be made when moisture is sufficient to enhance grass growth.
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is very effective for removal of bahiagrass from bermudagrass pastures. In
|
||
highly infested pastures, the use of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide can clear the areas of useful forage until
|
||
the bermudagrass has time to cover the area. Therefore, MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide treatments should
|
||
be spread out over a period of years. Do not apply to an entire farm or ranch in one year. Fertilization
|
||
(particularly with nitrogen and potassium) and/or replanting may accelerate the process of
|
||
reestablishment of bermudagrass.
|
||
Under heavy bahiagrass pressure, grazing pressure, or adverse weather conditions (heat and drought),
|
||
bahiagrass regrowth may occur.
|
||
Do not use MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide for control of common or Argentine bahiagrass. Also, do not use
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide in liquid fertilizer solutions for Pensacola bahiagrass control as poor control
|
||
and/or regrowth may occur.
|
||
Rush skeletonweed: For best results, apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide at 1 ounce per acre with 8
|
||
fluid ounces of dicamba (such as Banvel or Clarity) and 16 fluid ounces of 2,4-0.
|
||
Sericea lespedeza: For best results, apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide at 4/10 to Y. ounce per acre
|
||
beginning at flower bud initiation through the full bloom stage of growth. Consult with your local Etigra
|
||
representative, dealer or applicator for specific use rate recommendations for your area. Do not make
|
||
applications if drought conditions exist at intended time of application.
|
||
Spotted Knapweed: For best results, apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide at Y. ounce per acre with 8
|
||
fluid ounces of dicamba (such as Banvel or Clarity) and 16 ounces active ingredient per acre of 2,4-D.
|
||
Sunflower (wild or volunteer): Apply either MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide or MSM E-Pro 60 EG
|
||
Herbicide plus 2,4-0 or MCPA after the majority of sunflowers have emerged, are 2" to 4" tall and are
|
||
actively growing. Use spray volumes of at least 3 gallons by air or 10 gallons by ground.
|
||
15
|
||
|
||
Wild Buckwheat: For best results, apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide plus 2,4-0 or MCPA when plants
|
||
have no more than 3 true leaves (not counting cotyledons). If plants are not actively growing, delay
|
||
treatment until environmental conditions favor active weed growth.
|
||
Wild Garlic: Apply 1/10 to 2/10 ounce per acre of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide in the early spring when
|
||
wild garlic is less than 12" tall with 2" to 4" of new growth.
|
||
Woolly Croton: Apply 1/10 to 2/10 ounce per acre of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide in the late spring or
|
||
early summer from cotyledon through 2 true leaf stage.
|
||

|
||
dicamba, dicamba plus 2,4-0, or Remedy from two weeks before blooming to two weeks after blooming.
|
||
SPRAY ADJUVANTS
|
||
Unless otherwise directed on this label, MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide applications must include either a
|
||
crop oil concentrate or a nonionic surfactant. In addition, an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer can be used
|
||
unless specifically prohibited by tank mix partner labeling. Consult your local Etigra representative prior
|
||
to using other adjuvant systems. If another herbicide is tank mixed with MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide,
|
||
select adjuvants authorized for use with both products. Products must contain only EPA exempt
|
||
ingredients (40 CFR 1001).
|
||
Petroleum Crop Oil Concentrate (COC) or Modified Seed Oil (MSO)
|
||
• Apply at 1 % v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons spray solution) or 2% under arid conditions.
|
||
• MSO adjuvants may be used at 0.5% v/v (0.5 gallons per 100 ga/lons spray solution) if specifically
|
||
noted on adjuvant product labeling.
|
||
• Oil adjuvants must contain at least 80% high quality, petroleum (mineral) or modified vegetable seed
|
||
oil with at least 15% surfactant emulsifiers.
|
||
Nonionic Surfactants (NIS)
|
||
• Apply at 0.25% v/v (1 quart per 100 gallons spray solution) or 0.5% under arid conditions.
|
||
• Surfactant products must contain at least 60% nonionic surfactant with a hydrophilicllipophilic balance
|
||
(HLD) greater than 12.
|
||
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
|
||
• Use 2 quarts/acre of a high-quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN), such as 28%N or 32%N, or 2
|
||
pounds/acre of a spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS). Use 4 quarts/acre UAN or 4 pounds/acre
|
||
AMS under arid conditions.
|
||
Special Adjuvant Types
|
||
• Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that provide the required amount of NIS, COC,
|
||
MSO and/or ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product literature for use rates and restrictions.
|
||
• In addition to the to adjuvants specified above, other adjuvant types may be used if they provided the
|
||
same functionality and have been evaluated and approved by Etigra. Consult your local Etigra
|
||
representative before using adjuvant types not specified on this label.
|
||
Exceptions: (1) On Fescue pastures use Y, to 1-pint non-ionic surfactant per 100 gallons; (2) on Timothy
|
||
pastures use Y, pint non-ionic surfactant per 100 gallons.
|
||
Antifoaming agents may be used if needed.
|
||
Do not use low rates of liquid fertilizer as a substitute for surfactant.
|
||
GROUND APPLICATION
|
||
To obtain optimum spray distribution and thorough coverage, use fiat-fan or low-volume flood nozzles.
|
||
For fiood nozzles on 30" spacings, use at least 10 gallons per acre (GPA), flood nozzles no larger than
|
||
TK10 (or equivalent), and a pressure of at least 30 pounds per square inch (psi). For 40" nozzle
|
||
16
|
||
|
||
spacings, use at least 13 GPA; for 60" spacings, use at least 20 GPA. It is essential to overlap the
|
||
nozzles 100% for all spacings.
|
||
With "Raindrop RA" nozzles, use at least 30 GPS and ensure that nozzle spray patterns overlap 100%.
|
||
For flat-fan nozzles, use at least 10 GPA for broadcast applications to pasture, rangeland or CRP.
|
||
Use 50-mesh screens or larger.
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||
Use nozzle types and arrangements that provide optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage.
|
||
Use a minimum of 2 GPS. In Idaho, Oregon and Washington, use a minimum of 3 GPA.
|
||
When applying MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide by air in areas adjacent to sensitive crops, use solid stream
|
||
nozzles oriented straight back. Adjust the swath to avoid spray drift damage to sensitive crops downwind
|
||
and/or use ground equipment to treat the border edge of fields. See the Spray Drift Management section
|
||
of this label.
|
||
TANK MIXTURES
|
||
With Insecticides and Fungicides
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may be tank mixed or used sequentially with insecticides and fungicides
|
||
registered for use on pastures, rangeland or CRP. However, under certain conditions (drought stress or
|
||
cold weather), tank mixes or sequential applications of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide with
|
||
organophosphate insecticides (such as parathion) may produce temporary grass yellowing or, in severe
|
||
cases, grass injury.
|
||
The potential for grass injury is greatest when wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures occur just prior
|
||
to or soon after application.
|
||
Test these tank mixtures in a small area before treating large areas. Do not use MSM E-Pro 60 EG
|
||
Herbicide'plus Malathion, as grass injury will result.
|
||
With Herbicides
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may be tank mixed with other suitable registered herbicides to control
|
||
weeds listed under Weeds Suppressed, weeds resistant to MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide, or weeds not
|
||
listed under Weeds Controlled. Read and follow all manufacturer's label recommendations for the
|
||
companion herbicide. If those recommendations conflict with this label, do not tank mix the herbicide with
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide.

MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may be tank mixed with glyphosate as a pre-plant (prior to the planting of
|
||
CRP grasses) treatment to control broadleaf and grassy weeds. When using a glyphosate tank mix,
|
||
allow at least 7 days after application before planting grasses. Refer to glyphosate containing product
|
||
fact sheets and labels for all use instructions, label rates, weed control claims, and precautions.
|
||
Postemergence
|
||
For best weed control performance in CRP, use MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide in a tank mix with 2,4-0
|
||
(ester formulations perform best) or dicamba (such as Banvel or Clarity).
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide can be tank mixed with 2,4-0 at Y. pound a.i.lA for all labeled grasses larger
|
||
than the 5-leaf stage. For fully tillered stands, up to y, pound a.i.lA of 2,4-0 may be used. A spray
|
||
adjuvant may be added. However, the addition of spray adjuvant may increase the chance of grass
|
||
injury.
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide can also be tank mixed with dicamba (such as Banvel or Clarity). Use not
|
||
more than 1/8 to Y. pound a.i.lA of dicamba plus MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide after majority of grasses
|
||
are in the 3-leaf stage. In established grasses (2nd year stands), use not more than y. to y, pound a.i.lA
|
||
dicamba plus MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide. A spray adjuvant may be added. However, the addition of
|
||
spray adjuvant may increase the chance of grass injury.
|
||
With Liquid Nitrogen Solution Fertilizer
|
||
Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions may be used as a carrier in place of water. Run a tank mix compatibility
|
||
test before mixing MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide in fertilizer solution.
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide must first be slurried with water and then added to liquid nitrogen solutions
|
||
(e.g., 28-0-0, 32-0-0). Ensure that the agitator is running while the MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is added.
|
||
Use of this mixture may result in temporary grass yellowing and stunting.
|
||
If using low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer (between 5% and 50% of the spray solution volume) in the
|
||
spray solution, the addition of a non-ionic surfactant is necessary. Add surfactant at Y. pint per 100
|
||
gallons of spray solution (0.03% v/v/).
|
||
Do not use a spray adjuvant other than non-ionic surfactant.
|
||
When using high rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer (greater than or equal to 50% of the spray solution
|
||
volume) in the spray solution, adding spray adjuvant(s) increases the risk of grass injury. Consult your
|
||
agricultural dealer, consultant, fieldman, or Etigra representative for a specific recommendation before
|
||
adding an adjuvant to these tank mixtures.
|
||
If 2,4-0 or MCPA is included with MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide and liquid nitrogen fertilizer mixture, ester
|
||
formulations tend to be more compatible (see manufacturer's label). Do not add spray adjuvants when
|
||
using MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide in tank mix with 2,4-0 ester and liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions
|
||
greater than 5% of the spray volume.
|
||
The use of liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions greater than 5% of the spray volume with MSM E-Pro 60 EG
|
||
Herbicide rates greater than 0.5 ounce/acre may cause grass injury.
|
||
Do not use low rates of liquid fertilizer as a substitute for spray adjuvants.
|
||
Do not use with liquid fertilizer solutions with a pH less than 3.0.

||
CROP ROTATION
|
||
Before using MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide, carefully consider your crop rotation plans and options. For
|
||
rotational flexibility, do not treat all of your pasture, rangeland or CRP acres at the same time.
|
||
Minimum Rotational Intervals
|
||
Minimum rotation intervals" are determined by the rate of breakdown of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide
|
||
applied. MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide in the soil is affected by soil pH, presence of soil microorganisms,
|
||
soil temperature, and soil moisture. Low soil pH, high soil temperature, and high soil moisture increase
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide breakdown in soil, while high soil pH, low soil temperature, and low soil
|
||
moisture slow MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide breakdown.
|
||
Of these 3 factors, only soil pH remains relatively constant. Soil temperature, and to a greater extent, soil
|
||
moisture, can vary significantly from year to year and from area to area. For this reason, soil
|
||
temperatures and soil moisture should be monitored regularly when considering crop rotations.
|
||
"The minimum rotation interval represents the period of time from the last application to the anticipated
|
||
date of the next planting.
|
||
19
|
||
|
||
Soil pH Limitations
|
||
Do not apPly MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide on soils having a pH above 7.9, as extended soil residual
|
||
activity could extend crop rotation intervals beyond normal. Under certain conditions, MSM E-Pro 60 EG
|
||
Herbicide could remain in the soil for 34 months or more, injuring wheat and barley. In addition, other
|
||
crops planted in high-pH soils can be extremely sensitive to low concentrations of MSM E-Pro 60 EG
|
||
Herbicide.
|
||
Checking Soil pH
|
||
Before using MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide, determine the soil pH of the areas of intended use. To obtain
|
||
a representative pH value for the test area, take several 0" to 4" samples from different areas of the field
|
||
and analy<:e them separately. Consult local extension publications for additional information on
|
||
recommended soil sampling procedures.
|
||
Bioassay
|
||
A field bioassay must be completed before rotating to any crop or grass species/variety not listed in the
|
||
Rotation Intervals Table, or if the soil pH is not in the specified range, or if the use rate applied is not
|
||
specified in the table.
|
||
To conduct a field bioassay, grow test strips of the crop(s) or grass(es) you plant to grow the following
|
||
year in fields previously treated with MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide. Crop or grass response to the
|
||
bioassay will indicate whether or not to rotate to the crop(s) or grass(es) grown in the test strips.
|
||
If a field bioassay is planned, check with your local Agricultural dealer or Etigra representative for
|
||
information detailing the field bioassay procedure.
|
||
Grazing/Haying
|
||
There are no grazing or haying restrictions for MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide. Coveralls, shoes plus socks
|
||
must be worn if cutting within 4 hours of treatment.

MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is recommended for general weed control on private, public and military
|
||
lands as follows: Uncultivated areas (such as airports, highway, railroad and utility rights-of-way, sewage
|
||
disposal areas, etc.); uncultivated agricultural areas- noncrop producing (such as farmyards, fuel storage
|
||
areas, fence rows, soil bank land, barrier strips, etc.); industrial sites- outdoor (such as lumberyards,
|
||
pipeline and tank farms, etc.). It is also recommended for the control of certain noxious and troublesome
|
||
weeds.
|
||
Consult the "Weeds Controlled" and "Brush Species Controlled" tables to determine the appropriate
|
||
application rate.
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may be applied in tank mixture with other herbicides labeled for use on non
|
||
crop sites. Fully read the labels and follow all the directions and restrictions on each label.
|
||
Applications may be made by ground or air. Use a sufficient volume of water to ensure thorough
|
||
coverage of the target vegetation with the application equipment being used.
|
||
Application Timing

The recommended intervals are for applications made in the Spring to early Summer. Because MSM E
|
||
Pro 60 EG Herbicide degradation is slowed by cold or frozen soils, applications made in the late Summer
|
||
or Fall should consider the intervals as beginning in the Spring following treatment.
|
||
Testing has indicated that there is considerable variation in response among the species of grasses when
|
||
seeded into areas treated with MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide. If species other than those listed above are
|
||
to be planted into areas treated with MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide, a field bioassay should be performed,
|
||
or previous experience may be used, to determine the feasibility of replanting treated sites.
|
||
TURF, INDUSTRIAL (UNIMPROVED ONLY)
|
||
Application Information
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is recommended for selective weed control in unimproved industrial turf
|
||
where certain grasses are well established and desired as ground cover. MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is
|
||
also recommended for the control of certain noxious and troublesome weeds in turf.
|
||
In addition to conventional spray equipment, MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may also be applied with invert
|
||

|
||
the seed stalk.
|
||
Fescue Precautions:
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may temporarily stunt tall fescue, cause it to tum yellow, or cause seed head
|
||
suppression. To minimize these symptoms, take the following precautions:
|
||
• Do not use more than 4/10 ounce per acre of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide.
|
||
• Tank mix MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide with 2,4-0.
|
||
• Use the lowest recommended rate for target weeds.
|
||
• Use a non-ionic surfactant at Y, to 1 pint per 100 gallons of spray solution.
|
||
• Make application later in the spring after the new growth is 5 to 6 inches tall, or in the fall.
|
||
• Do not use a surfactant when liquid nitrogen is used as a carrier.
|
||
• Do not use a spray adjuvant other than non-ironic surfactant.
|
||
• The yields from the first cutting may be reduced due to seed head suppression resulting from
|
||
treatment with MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide.
|
||
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
|
||
-- INDUSTRIAL TURF ONLY
|
||
• An application of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may cause temporary discoloration (chlorosis) of
|
||
the grasses. Use the lower recommended rates for minimum discoloration.
|
||
• With fescue and bluegrass, sequential applications made during the same or consecutive growth
|
||
periods (i.e. spring and fall) may result in excessive injury to turf.
|
||
• Excessive injury may result when MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is applied to turf that is under
|
||
stress from drought, insects, disease, cold temperatures (winter injury) or poor fertility.
|
||
24
|
||
|
||
• MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is not recommended for use on bahiagrass.

||
lambsquarters" (common and slimleaf), marestail", pigweed (redroot and tumble), snow speedwell,
|
||
tansymustard" and tumble mustard (Jim Hill mustard).
|
||
"Suppression is a visual reduction in weed competition (reduced population or vigor) as compared to
|
||
untreated areas. Degree of suppression will vary with the size of weed and environmental conditions
|
||
following treatment.
|
||
Application Timing
|
||
For established grasses, apply when weeds are in the seedling stage.
|
||
For grasses in the seedling stage, apply preplant or preemergence where the soil (seedbed) has been
|
||
cultivated.
|
||
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
|
||
-NATIVE GRASSES
|
||
• Grass species or varieties may differ in their response to various herbicides. Etigra recommends that
|
||
you first consult your state experimental station, university, or extension agent as to sensitivity to any
|
||
herbicide. If no information is available, limit the initial use of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide to a small
|
||
area. Components in a grass seed mixture will vary in tolerance to MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide, so
|
||
the final stand may not refiect the seed ratio.
|
||
• Under certain conditions such as heavy rainfall, high pH, prolonged cold weather, or wide fluctuations
|
||
in day/night temperatures prior to or soon after MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide application, temporary
|
||
discoloration and/or grass injury may occur. MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide should not be applied to
|
||
grass that is stressed by severe weather conditions, drought, low fertility, water-saturated soils,
|
||
disease, or insect damage as grass injury may result. Severe winter stress, drought, disease, or
|
||
insect damage before or following application also may result in grass injury.
|
||
BRUSH CONTROL
|
||
Application Information
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is recommended for the control of undesirable brush growing in non-crop
|
||
areas. Applications may be made by air, high volume ground application, low volume ground application
|
||
and ultra-low volume ground application. Except as noted for multiflora rose, MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide
|
||
should be applied as a spray to the foliage.
|
||
The application volume required will vary with the height and density of the brush and the application
|
||
equipment used. Generally, aerial applications will require 15 to 25 gallons of water per acre; high volume
|
||
ground application will require 100 to 400 gallons of water per acre; and low volume ground application
|
||
will require 20 to 50 gallons of water per acre; and ultra-low volume ground application will require 10 to
|
||
20 gallons of water per acre.
|
||
25
|
||
|
||
Regardless of application volume and equipment used, thorough coverage of the foliage, particularly the
|
||
terminal growing points, is necessary to optimize results.

|
||
periodically while applying the spray suspension.
|
||
Apply the spray preparation with an exact delivery handgun applicator. Apply at the rate of 4 milliliters for
|
||
each 2 feet of rose canopy diameter. Direct the treatment to the soil within 2 feet of stem union. When
|
||
treating large plants and more than one delivery is required, make applications on opposite sides of the
|
||
plant.
|
||
Applications should be made from early spring to summer.
|
||
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
|
||
-- NON-CROP BRUSH ONLY
|
||
• When using tank mixtures of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide with companion herbicides, read and
|
||
follow all the use instructions, application rates, warnings and precautions appearing on the
|
||
labels. Follow the most restrictive label instruction for each of the heribicides used.
|
||
SPRAY EQUIPMENT
|
||
Spraying and mixing equipment used with MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide must not be used for subsequent
|
||
application to food or feed crops with the exception of pastures, rangeland and wheat, as low rates of
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide can kill or severely injure most food or feed crops.
|
||
The selected sprayer should be equipped with an agitation system to keep MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide
|
||
suspended in the spray tank.
|
||
Use a sufficient volume of water to thoroughly cover the foliage of undesirable weeds, generally 10 to 40
|
||
gallons per acre. Select a spray volume and delivery system that will deliver a uniform spray pattern. Be
|
||
sure the sprayer is calibrated before use. Avoid overlapping and shut off spray booms while starting,
|
||
turning, slowing, or stopping, to avoid injury to desired plants.
|
||
Refer to the brush control section of this label for information unique to that particular use.
|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
1. Fill the tank y. to 1/3 full of water.
|
||
2. While agitating, add the required amount of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide.
|
||
3. Continue agitation until the MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
|
||
4. Once the MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling
|
||
tank with water. MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide should be thoroughly mixed with water before
|
||
adding any other material.
|
||
5. As the tank is filling, add tank mix partners (if desired) then add the necessary volume of nonionic
|
||
surfactant. Always add surfactant last.
|
||
27
|
||
|
||
6. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re
|
||
agitate before using.
|
||
7. MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide spray preparations are stable if they are pH neutral or alkaline and
|
||
stored at or below 100°F.
|
||
8. If MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, pre
|
||
slurry the MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide in clean water prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent
|
||
the tank mix partner from interfering with the dissolution of the MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide.
|
||
SPRAYER CLEANUP
|
||
Spray equipment must be cleaned before MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is sprayed. Follow the cleanup
|
||
procedures specified on the labels of previously applied products. If no directions are provided, follow the
|
||
six steps outlined below.
|
||
At the End of the Day
|
||
When multiple loads of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide are applied, it is recommended that at the end of
|
||
each day of spraying, the interior of the tank be rinsed with fresh water then partially filled, and the boom
|
||
and hoses flushed. This will prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits that can accumulate in the
|
||
application equipment.
|
||
1. Drain tank; thoroughly rinse spray tanks, boom, and hoses with clean water. Loosen and
|
||
physically remove any visible deposits.
|
||
2. Fill the tank with clean water and 1 gal of household ammonia* (contains 3% active) for every 100
|
||
gallon of water. Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning solution. Then add more
|
||
water to completely fill the tank. Circulate the cleaning solution through the tank and hoses for at
|
||
least 15 min. Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles again with the cleaning solution, and then drain
|
||
the tank.
|
||
3. Remove the nozzles and screens and·clean separately in a bucket containing cleaning agent and
|
||
water.
|
||
4. Repeat step 2.
|
||
5. Rinse tank, boom, and hoses with clean water.
|
||
6. If only ammonia is used as a cleaner, the rinsate solution may be applied back to the crop(s)
|
||
recommended on this label. Do not exceed the maximum labeled use rate. If other cleaners are
|
||
used, consult the cleaner label for rinsate disposal instructions. If no instructions are given,
|
||
dispose of the rinsate on site or at an approved waste disposal facility.
|
||
*Equivalent amounts of an alternate-strength ammonia solution or an Etigra-approved cleaner can be
|
||
used in the cleanout procedure. Carefully read and follow the individual cleaner instructions. Consult you
|
||
agricultural dealer, applicator, or Etigra representative for a listing of approved cleaners.
|
||
Notes:
|
||
1. ATTENTION: Do not use chlorine bleach with ammonia. as dangerous gases will form.
|
||
Do not clean equipment in an enclosed area.
|
||
2. Steam-cleaning aerial spray tanks is recommended prior to performing the above
|
||
clean out procedure to facilitate the removal of any caked deposits.
|
||
3. When MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is tank mixed with other pesticides, all required
|
||
cleanout procedures should be examined and the most rigorous procedure should be
|
||
fOllowed.
|
||
4. In addition to the cleanout procedure, all precleanout guidelines on subsequently applied
|
||
products should be followed as per the individual labels.
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift.
|
||
The applicator is responsible for conSidering all of these factors when making applications.
|
||
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.
|
||
28
|
||
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets (>150-200 microns). The best
|
||
drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control.
|
||
The presence of sensitive species nearby, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect
|
||
how an applicator balances drift control and coverage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS REDUCES
|
||
DRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT WILL NOT PREVENT DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY
|
||
OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE ENVIROMENTAL CONDITIONS!
|
||
See, Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions sections of this label.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size- General Techniques
|
||
• Volume- Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with
|
||
higher rate flows produce larger droplets.
|
||
• Pressure- Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces
|
||
droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE
|
||
NEEDED, USE A HIGHER-CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE.
|
||
• Nozzle Type- Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle
|
||
types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size- Aircraft
|
||
• Number of Nozzles- Use the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provides
|
||
uniform coverage.
|
||
• Nozzle Orientation- Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to the air
|
||
stream will produce larger droplets than other orientations.
|
||
• Nozzle Type- Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with swirl plate removed) oriented
|
||
straight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types.
|
||
• Boom Length- The boom length should not exceed % of the wing or rotor length- longer booms
|
||
increase drift potential.
|
||
• Application Height- Application more than 10 ft above the canopy increases the potential for
|
||
spray drift.
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT
|
||
Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the
|
||
exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with
|
||
the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10
|
||
mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any
|
||
given wind speed. AVOID GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS. Note: Local terrain can influence wind
|
||
patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.
|
||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to
|
||
reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing,
|
||
which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a
|
||
concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude
|
||
and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun
|
||
sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog
|
||
is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from the ground source or an
|
||
aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind
|
||
29
|
||
|
||
conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good
|
||
vertical air mixing.

||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility
|
||
of the applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of
|
||
the product.
|
||
USE PRECAUTIONS
|
||
• Do not drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas where their
|
||
roots may extend, or in locations where the product may be washed or moved into contact with
|
||
their roots, as injury or loss of desirable trees or other plants may result.
|
||
• Treatment of powdery, dry soil or light, sandy soil when there is little likelihood of rainfall soon
|
||
after treatment may result in off target movement and possible damage to susceptible crops when
|
||
soil particles are moved by wind or water. Injury to crops may result if treated soil is washed,
|
||
blown, or moved onto land used to produce crops. Exposure to MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may
|
||
injure or kill most crops. Injury may be more severe when crops are irrigated. Do not apply MSM
|
||
E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide when these conditions are identified and powdery, dry soil or light, and
|
||
sandy soils are known to be prevalent in the area being treated.
|
||
• Applications made where runoff water flows onto agricultural land may injure crops. Applications
|
||
made during periods of intense rainfall, to soils saturated with water, to surfaces paved with
|
||
materials such as asphalt or concrete, or to soils through which rainfall will not readily penetrate
|
||
may result in runoff and movement of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide. Do not treat frozen soil.
|
||
Treated soil should be left undisturbed to reduce the potential for MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide
|
||
movement by soil erosion due to wind or water.
|
||
• Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, or similar areas.
|
||
• Do not apply through any type of irrigation system.
|
||
• Do not apply to irrigated land where the tailwater will be used to irrigate crops.
|
||
• Do not apply to snow-covered ground.
|
||
• Spraying and mixing equipment used with MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide must not be used for
|
||
subsequent application to food or feed crops with the exception of pastures, rangeland, and
|
||
wheat, as low rates of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide can kill or severely injure most food or feed
|
||
crops.
|
||
• Applications of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide to pastures, rangeland or CRP undersown with
|
||
legumes may cause injury to the legumes. Legumes in a seeding mixture may be severely
|
||
injured or killed following an application of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide.
|
||
• When used as directed, there are no grazing or haying restrictions for use rates of 1 2/3 ounces
|
||
per acre and less. At use rates of 1 2/3 to 3 2/3 ounces per acre, forage grasses may be cut for
|
||
hay fodder or green forage and fed to livestock, including lactating animals, 3 days after
|
||
treatment.
|
||
• Do not use this product in the following counties of Colorado: Saguache, Rio Grande, Alamosa,
|
||
Costilla and Conejos
|
||
• Do not use this product in California.
|
||
• Do not use on grasses grown for seed.

Do not use on bahiagrass where it is the desired turf, as severe injury may result.
|
||
Do not plant ornamentals such as shrubs, and trees in treated areas for at least 1 year after the last
|
||
application, or bedding plants for at least 2 years.
|
||
IMPORTANT
|
||
32
|
||
|
||
Addition of nonionic surfactant of at least 80% active ingredient at 0.25 percent by volume (1 qUgal)
|
||
provides maximum performance, but may temporarily increase chlorosis of the turf.
|
||
Allow one week between the application of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide and other control (pesticide
|
||
containing) products. (This guideline can be relaxed where severe insect or disease attack requires
|
||
immediate treatment).
|
||
DO NOT USE ON FOOD OR FEED CROPS. Injury to or loss of desirable trees or other plants may result
|
||
from failure to observe the following: Do not apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide (except as
|
||
recommended) or drain or flush equipment on or neat desirable trees or other plants. Or on areas where
|
||
their roots may extend or In locations where the chemical may be washes or moved into contact with their
|
||
roots.
|
||
When overseeding, wait 2 months (8 weeks) after application. Do not apply to any body of water,
|
||
including streams, irrigation water or wells. Do not apply where runoff water may flow onto agricultural
|
||
land, as injury to crops may result.
|
||
Do not allow spray drift onto adjacent crops or other desirable plants or trees as injury may occur.
|
||
Follow these practices to minimize drift:
|
||
• Stop spraying if wind speed becomes excessive. Spray drift can occur at wind speeds less than 10
|
||
MPH. If sensitive plants are downwind, extreme caution must be used. Do not spray if winds are
|
||
gusty.
|
||
• High temperatures, drought and low relative humidity increases the possibility of harmful spray drift.
|
||
Caution must be used when these conditions are present and sensitive plants are nearby.
|
||
• Use large droplet size sprays to minimize drift.
|
||
• Use spray pressures of 35 psi or less when applying this product.

||
GENERAL INFORMATION
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is recommended for us on land primarily dedicated to the production of
|
||
wheat, barley, fallow, pasture and rangeland.
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is recommended for use on wheat, barley, fallow, pasture, and rangeland in
|
||
most states, check your state extension or Dept. of Agriculture before use to be certain MSM E-Pro 60
|
||
EG Herbicide is registered in your state. MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is not registered for use in
|
||
Alamosa, Conejos, Costilla, RioGrande and Saquache counties of Colorado.
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is a dry-flowable granule that controls weeds in wheat (including durum),
|
||
barley, pasture, rangeland grasses, and fallow. MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is mixed in water or can be
|
||
37
|
||
|
||
preslurried in water and added to liquid nitrogen carrier solutions and applied as a uniform spray mix
|
||
unless otherwise specified on this label. MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is noncorrosive, nonflammable,
|
||
nonvolatile, and does not freeze.
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG HerbiCide controls weeds by postemergence activity. For best results, apply MSM E
|
||
Pro 60 EG Herbicide to young, actively growing weeds. The use rates depend upon the weed spectrum
|
||
and size of weeds at application. The degree and duration of control may depend on the following factors:
|
||
• Weed spectrum and infestation intensity
|
||
• Weed size at application
|
||
• Environmental condition at and following treatment
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is absorbed through the foliage of broadleaf weeds, rapidly inhibiting their
|
||
growth. Leaves of susceptible plants appear chlorotic from 1 to 3 weeks after application and the growing
|
||
poi nt subsequently dies.
|
||
Application of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide provides the best control in vigorously growing crops that
|
||
shade competitive weeds. Weed control in areas of thin crop stand or seeding skips may not be as
|
||
satisfactory. However, a crop canopy that is too dense at application can intercept spray and reduce
|
||
weed control.
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG HerbiCide may injure crops that are stressed from adverse environmental conditions
|
||
(such as extreme temperatures or moisture), abnormal soil conditions, or cultural practices. In addition,
|
||
different varieties of the crop may be sensitive to treatment with MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide under
|
||
otherwise normal conditions. Treatment of such varieties may injure crops.
|
||
In warm, moist condition$, the expression of herbicide symptoms is accelerated in weeds; in cold, dry
|
||
conditions, expression of herbicide symptoms is delayed. In addition, weeds hardened-off by drought
|
||
stress are less susceptiblE:! to MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide ..
|
||
Weed control may be reduced if rainfall or snowfall occurs soon after application.
|
||
APPLICATION INFOR.MATION
|
||
Use Rates
|
||
Wheat (including durum) and Barley
|
||
Apply 1/10 oz MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide per acre to wheat or barley.
|
||
Pasture and Rangeland
|
||
Apply 1/10 to 4/10 oz MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide per acre as a broadcast treatment to pasture and
|
||
rangeland. For spot applications, use 1 oz per 100 gal of water. Do not exceed'/. oz MSM E-Pro 60 EG
|
||
Herbicide per acre.
|
||
Harvest Aid
|
||
Apply 1/10 oz MSM E-Pra 60 EG Herbicide per acre in combination with 2,4-0 or Roundup" to aid in dry
|
||
down of many broad leaved weeds, thereby aiding grain harvest.
|
||
Fallow
|
||
Apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide at 1/10 oz per acre.
|
||
Application Timing- Wheat and Barley
|
||
Oryland Wheat and Barley
|
||
(Except Durum or Wampum Variety)
|
||
Make applications after the crop is in the 2-leaf stage but before boot.
|
||
38
|
||
|
||
Durum and Wampum Variety Spring Wheat
|
||
Make applications after the crop is tillering but before boot. Applications to durum and wampum varieties
|
||
should be made in combination with 2,4-0.
|
||
Irrigated Wheat and Barley
|
||
Make applications after the crop begins tillering but before boot. First post-treatment irrigation should be
|
||
delayed for at least 3 days after treatment and should not exceed 1 inch of water.
|
||
Wheat and Barley-Harvest Aid
|
||
Make applications after the crop has reached the hard dough stage but no later than 10 days before
|
||
harvest. See section on Harvest Aid tank mixtures.
|
||
Fallow
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may be used as a fallow treatment, in the spring or fall when the majority of
|
||
weeds have emerged and are actively growing.
|
||
Do not apply during boot or early heading, as crop injury may result.
|
||
Application Timing - Pasture Grasses
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may be used on some native grasses such as bluestems and grama, and
|
||
on other pasture grasses such as bermudagrass, bluegrass, orchardgrass, bromegrass, fescue and
|
||
timothy. SpecifiC application information on several of these pasture grasses follows:
|
||
Pasture Grass Minimum Time from Grass Establishment to
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide Application
|
||
Bermudagrass 2 months
|
||
Bluegrass, Bromegrass, and orchardgrass 6 months
|
||
Timothy 12 months
|
||
Fescue 24 months
|
||
Fescue Precautions:
|
||
Note that MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may temporarily stunt fescue, cause it to turn yellow, or cause
|
||
seed head suppression. To minimize these symptoms, take the following precautions:
|
||
• Tank mix MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide with 2,4-0
|
||
• Use the lowest recommended rate for target weeds
|
||
• Use surfactant at Yo to 1 pt per 100 gal of spray solution (1/16 to 1/8% v/v)
|
||
• Make application later in the spring after the new growth is 5 to 6 inches tall, or in the fall.
|
||
• Do not use surfactant when liquid nitrogen is used as a carrier.
|
||
The first cutting yields may be reduced due to seed head suppression resulting from treatment with MSM
|
||
E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide.
|
||
Timothy Precautions:
|
||
Timothy should be at least 6" tall at application and be actively growing. Applications of MSM E-Pro 60
|
||
EG Herbicide to timothy under any other conditions may cause crop yellowing and/or stunting. To
|
||
minimize these symptoms, take the fallowing precautions:
|
||
• Tank mix MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide with 2,4-0
|
||
• Use the lowest recommended rate for target weeds
|
||
• Use surfactant at Yo pt per 100 gal (1/16% v/v)
|
||
• Make applications in the later summer or fall
|
||
• Do nat use surfactant when liquid nitrogen is used as a carrier.
|
||
39
|
||
|
||
Ryegrass Pastures (Italian or perennial): Do not apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide as injury to or
|
||
loss of the pasture may result.
|
||
Other Pasture: Varieties and species of pasture grasses differ in their tolerance to herbicides. When
|

|
||
:j: Weed suppression is a reduction in weed competition (reduced population andlor vigor) as visually
|

compared to an untreated area. The degree of suppression varies with the rate used, the size of the
|
||
weeds, and the environmental conditions following treatment.
|
||
Specific Weed Problems
|
||
Note: Thorough spray coverage of all weed species listed below is very important.
|
||
Blue Mustard, Flixweed, and Tansymustard: For best results, apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide tank
|
||
mixtures with 2,4-0 or MCPA in the spring after the majority of thistles have emerged and are small
|
||
(rosette stage to 6" elongating stems) and actively growing. The application will inhibit the ability of
|
||
emerged thistles to compete with the crop.
|
||
For Spot applications to Canada Thistle in pasture and rangeland, apply as a foliar spray once plant is
|
||
fully leafed. Apply to runoff and include a surfactant in the spray mix at 1 to 2 qt per 100 gal of spray
|
||
solution. Complete coverage of all foliage and stems is required for control. On tall, dense stands, it is
|
||
often necessary to spray from both sides to obtain adequate coverage.
|
||
Corn Gromwell and Prostrate Knotweed: Apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide plus surfactant when
|
||
weeds are actively growing, are no larger than 2" tall, and when crop canopy will allow thorough
|
||
coverage. Tank mixing 2,4-0 or MCPA with MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide can improve results.
|
||
Kochia, Russian thistle, Prickly lettuce: Naturally occurring resistant biotypes of these weeds are
|
||
known to occur. For best results, use MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide in a tank mix with Banvel"/Banvel"
|
||
SGF and 2,4-0, or bromoxynil and 2,4-0 (such as % -1 pt Buctril" + Y. - 3/8 Ib active 2,4-D ester). MSM
|
||
E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide should be applied in the spring when kochia, Russian thistle, and prickly lettuce
|
||
are less than 2" tall or 2" across and are actively growing (refer to the Tank Mixtures section of this label
|
||
for additional details).
|
||
41
|
||
|
||
Su nflower (common/volunteer): Apply either MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide plus surfactant or MSM E
|
||
Pro 60 EG Herbicide plus 2,4-D or MCPA after the majority of sunflowers have emerged, are 2" to 4" tall
|
||
and are actively growing. Use spray volumes of at least 3 gal by air or 5 gal by ground (10 gal by ground
|
||
in pastures).
|
||
Wild Buckwheat: For best results, apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide plus 2,4-D or MCPA when plants
|
||
have no more than 3 true leaves (not counting the cotyledons). If plants are not actively growing, delay
|
||
treatment until environmental conditions favor active weed growth.
|
||
Musk Thistle: Apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide at 2/10 to 3/10 oz per acre in the spring or early
|
||
summer prior to flowering or in the fall after newly emerged plants have reached the rosette stage of
|
||
growth. Fall applications should be made before the soil freezes.
|
||
Multiflora Rose: For best control, apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide as a broadcast application when
|
||
multiflora rose is less than 3' tall. Application should be made in the spring, soon after multiflora rose is
|
||
fully leafed.
|
||
For spot applications in pasture and rangeland, apply as a foliar spray once plant is fully leafed. Apply to
|
||
runoff and include a surfactant in the spray mix at 1 to 2 qts per 100 gals of spray solution. Complete
|
||
coverage of all foliage and stems is required for control. On tall, dense stands, it is often necessary to
|
||
spray from both sides to obtain adequate coverage.
|
||
Blackberry and Dewberry: For spot applications in pasture and rangeland, apply as a foliar spray once
|
||
plant is fully leaved. Apply to runoff and include a surfactant in the spray mix at 1 to 2 qts per 100 gals of
|
||
spray solution. Complete coverage of all foliage and stems is required for control. On tall, dense strands,
|
||
it is often necessary to spray from both sides to obtain adequate coverage.
|
||
Pensacola bahiagrass control in established Bermudagrass pasture:
|
||
Apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide at 3/10 oz per acre plus surfactant. Apply after green-up in the spring
|
||
but before bahiagrass seed head fonmation. Application should be made when moisture is sufficient to
|
||
enhance grass growth. MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is very effective for removal of bahiagrass from
|
||
benmudagrass pastures. In highly infested pastures, the use of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide can clear the
|
||
areas of useful forage until the bermudagrass has time to cover the area. Therefore, MSM E-Pro 60 EG
|
||
Herbicide treatments should be spread out over a period of years. Do not apply to an entire farm or ranch
|
||
in one year. Fertilization (particularly with nitrogen and potassium) andlor replanting may accelerate the
|
||
process of reestablishment of bermudagrass.
|
||
Under heavy bahiagrass pressure, grazing pressure, or adverse weather conditions (heat and drought),
|
||
bahiagrass regrowth may occur.
|
||
Note: MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide should not be used for the control of common or Argentine
|
||
bahiagrass. Also, MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide should not be applied in liquid fertilizer solutions for
|
||
Pensacola bahiagrass control, as poor control and/or regrowth may occur.
|
||
Serecia lespedeza: Apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide at 4/10 oz per acre plus a surfactant at 1 to 2 qt
|
||
per 100 gal of total spray solution. For best results, make applications to serecia lespedeza beginning at
|
||
flower bud initiation through the full bloom stage of growth.
|
||
Note: Do not make applications if drought conditions exist at intended time of application.
|
||
Wild Garlic: Apply 1/10 to 2/10 oz per acre of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide in the early spring when wild
|
||
garlic is less than 12" tall with 2" to 4" of new growth.
|
||
Woolly Croton: Apply 1/10 to 2/10 oz per acre of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide in the late spring or early
|
||
summer at preemergence through 2 true leaf stage.
|
||
Surfactants
|
||
42
|
||
|
||
Unless otherwise specified, add a surfactant having at least 80% active ingredient at 1 to 2 qt per 100 gal
|
||
of spray solution (0.25 to 0.5% v/v).
|
||
Exceptions: (1) On all spring wheat and spring or winter barley use Y, to 1 qt per 100 gals; (2) on Fescue
|
||
pastures use Y. qt per 100 gal. (3) on Timothy pastures use Y. qt per 100 gals.
|
||
Consult your agricultural dealer, applicator, or Etigra representative for a listing of recommended
|
||
surfactants.
|
||
Antifoaming agents may be used if needed.
|
||
Do not use low rates of liquid fertilizer as a substitute for surfactant.
|
||
Ground Application
|
||
To obtain optimum spray distribution and thorough coverage, use flat-fan or low-volume flood nozzles.
|
||
For flood nozzles on 30" spacings, use at least 10 gallons per acre (GPA), flood nozzles no larger than
|
||
TK10 (or equivalent), and pressure of at least 30 pounds per square inch (psi). For 40" nozzle spacings,
|
||
use at least 20 GPA. It is essential to overlap the nozzles 100% for all spacings.
|
||
With "raindrop RA" nozzles, use at least 30 GPA and ensure that nozzle spray patterns overlap 100%.
|
||
For flat-fan nozzle, use at least 3 GPA for applications to wheat or ba~ey. Use at least 10 GPA for
|
||
application to pasture or rangeland.
|
||
Use 50-mesh screens or larger.
|
||
Aerial Application
|
||
Use nozzle types and arrangements that provide optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage.
|
||
Wheat, Barley and Fallow- use 1 to 5 GPA. Use at least 3 GPA in Idaho, Oregon, or Utah.
|
||
Pasture and Rangeland- Use 2 to 5 GPA.
|
||
When applying MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide by air in areas adjacent to sensitive crops, use solid stream
|
||
nozzles oriented straight back. Adjust the swath to avoid spray drift damage to sensitive crops downwind
|
||
and/or use ground equipment to treat the border edge of fields. See the Spray Drift Management section
|
||
of this label.
|
||
TANK MIXTURES
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may be tank mixed with other suitable registered herbicides to control
|
||
weeds listed under Weeds Suppressed, weeds resistant to MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide, or weeds not
|
||
listed under Weeds Controlled. Read and follow all manufacturers label recommendations for the
|
||
companion herbicide. If those recommendations conflict with this label, do not tank mix the herbicide with
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide.
|
||
Tank Mixtures in Cereals (Wheat and Barley)
|
||
With 2,4·D (amine or ester) or MCPA (amine or ester)
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide can be used as a tank-mix treatment with 2,4-0 or MCPA (ester
|
||
formulations provide best results) herbicides after weeds have emerged. For best results, use 1/10 oz of
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide per acre; add 2,4-0 or MCPA herbicides to the tank at Y. to y, Ib active
|
||
ingredient. Surfactant may be added to the mixture at Y, to 1 qt per 100 gal of spray solution; however,
|
||
adding surfactant may increase the potential for crop injury.
|
||
Apply MSM E·Pro 60 EG Herbicide plus MCPA after the 3 to 5-leaf stage but before boot (with Ourum
|
||
and Wampum varieties do not apply before tillering). Apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide plus 2,4-0 after
|
||
tillering (refer to appropriate 2,4-0 manufacturer's label), but before boot.
|
||
With Banvef'1 Banvef' SGF
|
||
For best results, apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide at 1/10 oz per acre; add 1/16 to 1/8 Ib active
|
||
ingredient Banvel"/ Banvel" SGF. Surfactant may be added to the mixture at Y, to 1 qt per 100 gal of
|
||
spray solution; however, adding surfactant may increase the potential for crop injury. Also refer to
|
||
Banvel"/ Banvel'" SGF labels for application timing and restrictions.
|
||
43
|
||
|
||
With 2,4-D (amine or ester) and Banver
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may be applied in a 3-way tank mix with formulations of Banvel" and 2,4-0.
|
||
Observe all applicable directions, restrictions and precautions on labels of all products used.
|
||
Make applications at 1/10 oz of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide + 2-3 oz Banvel" (4-6 oz Banvel'" SGF) + 4-
|
||
6 oz active 2,4-0 Ester or Amine per acre. Use higher rates when weed infestation is heavy. Add 1-2 pt of
|
||
surfactant to the 3 way mixture, where necessary, as deemed by local recommendations. Use of
|
||
additional surfactant may not be needed with the higher phenoxy rates and ester phenoxy formulations.
|
||
Consult the specific 2,4-0 or Banvel" label, or local recommendations for more information.
|
||
Apply this 3-way combination to winter wheat after the crop is tillering and prior to jointing (first node). In
|
||
Spring Wheat (including Ourum wheat) apply after the crop is tillering and before it exceeds the 5-leaf
|
||
stage.
|
||
Do not apply this 3-way mixture at high rates more than once a year or more than twice per year at the
|
||
low rates.
|
||
With bromoxynil (such as Buctrir, Bronate")
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may be tank mixed with bromoxynil containing herbicides registered for use
|
||
on wheat, barley, or fallow. For best results" add bromoxynil containing herbicides to the tank at 3 to 6 oz
|
||
active ingredient per acre (such as Bronate or Buctril'" at % - 1 Y, pt per acre).
|
||
Read and follow all label instructions on timing, precautions, and warnings for these herbicides before
|
||
using these tank mixtures. Follow the most restrictive labeling.
|
||
With grass control products
|
||
Tank mixtures of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide and grass control products may result in poor grass
|
||
control. Etigra, llC recommends that you first consult your state experiment station, university, or
|
||
extension agent, Agricultural dealer, or Etigra representative as to the potential for antagonism before
|
||
using the mixture. If no infonmation is available, limit the initial use of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide and the
|
||
grass product to a small area.
|
||
To control wild oat, tank mix MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide with Avenge'" or Assert"'.
|
||
When tank mixing MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide with Assert", always include 2,4-0 ester, MCPA ester, or
|
||
Bromoxynil containing products (such as Buctril" or Bronate"'). Tank- mixed applications of MSM E-Pro
|
||
60 EG Herbicide plus Assert'" may cause temporary crop discoloration, stunting, or injury when heavy
|
||
rainfall occurs shortly after application.
|
||
Do not tank mix MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide with HOElON'" 3EC, as grass control may be reduced.
|
||
With EXPRESS'"
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may be tank mixed with EXPRESS'" based on local recommendations.
|
||
Read and follow all label instructions on timing, precautions, and warnings for these herbicides before
|
||
using this tank mixture.
|
||
With HARMON"" EXTRA
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may be tank mixed with HARMONy'" EXTRA based on local
|
||
recommendations. Read and follow all label instructions on timing, precautions, and warnings for these
|
||
herbicides before using this tank mixture.
|
||
With Insecticides and Fungicides
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may be tank mixed or used sequentially with insecticides and fungicides
|
||
registered for use on cereal grains.
|
||
44
|
||
|
||
However, under certain conditions (drought stress, cold weather, or if the crop is in the 2-4 leaf stage),
|
||
tank mixes or sequential applications of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide with organophosphate insecticides
|
||
(such as parathion, "Oi-Syston") may produce temporary crop yellowing or, in severe cases, crop injury.
|
||
The potential for crop injury is greatest when wide fluctuations in day/night temperatures occur just prior
|
||
to or soon after applications.
|
||
Test these mixtures in a small area before treating large areas.
|
||
Do not apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide within 60 days of crop emergence where organophosphate
|
||
ins'ecticide (such as "Oi-Syston") has been applied as an in-furrow treatment, as crop injury may result.
|
||
Do not use MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide plus Malathion, as crop injury will result.
|
||
With Liquid Nitrogen Solution Fertilizer
|
||
Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions may be used as a carrier in place of water. Run a tank mix compatibility
|
||
test before mixing MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide in fertilizer solution.
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide must first be slurried with water and then added to liquid nitrogen solutions
|
||
(e.g. 28-0-0, 32-0-0). Ensure that the agitator is running while the MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is added.
|
||
Use of this mixture may result in temporary crop yellowing and stunting.
|
||
If using low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution (less than 50% of the spray solution
|
||
volume), the addition of surfactant is necessary. Add surfactant at Y, pt-1 qt per 100 gal of spray solution
|
||
(0.06-0.25% v/v) based on local recommendations.
|
||
When using high rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution, adding surfactant increases the
|
||
risk of crop injury. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, field man, or Etigra, LLC representative for
|
||
specific recommendation before adding an adjuvant to these tank mixtures.
|
||
If 2,4-0 or MCPA is included with MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide and fertilizer mixture, ester formulations
|
||
tend to be more compatible (See manufacturer's label). Do not add surfactant when using MSM E-Pro 60
|
||
EG Herbicide in tank mix with 2,4-0 ester or MCPA ester and liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions.
|
||
Do not use low' rates of liquid fertilizer as a substitute for a surfactant.
|
||
Do not use with liquid fertilizer solutions with pH less than 3.0.
|
||
Tank Mixtures in Harvest Aid
|
||
A tank mix of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide plus 2,4-0 and surfactant, or Roundup", will typically aid in dry
|
||
down of many broad leaved weeds, thereby aiding grain harvest. Postemergence applications should be
|
||
made to actively growing weeds after the crop is in the hard dough stage. If weeds are not dry within 10
|
||
days after application, delay harvest until weeds are dry.
|
||
See weeds listed in Weeds Controlled chart of this label
|
||
With 2,4-D
|
||
Use 1/10 oz MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide plus Y. to Y, active ingredient 2,4-0 per acre on moderate weed
|
||
infestations; higher rates of 2,4-0 may be used on large weeds if permitted by the 2,4-0 brand labeling.
|
||
Include 1 to 2 qt surfactant per 100 gal of spray solution.
|
||
In addition to the weeds listed in the Weeds Controlled chart of this label, the 2,4-0 combination will also
|
||
dry down common cocklebur, marestail, puncturevine and common and wild sunflower. In areas where
|
||
2,4-0 use is restricted, apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide with surfactant only; however, this treatment
|
||
may be less effective.
|
||
45
|
||
|
||
With Roundup"
|
||
Use 1/10 oz MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide plus the locally recommended rate of Roundup" (See
|
||
Roundup" label for maximum seasonal rate). MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide requires the use of adjuvant
|
||
for optimum activity- Consult the Roundup" label or local recommendation for the amount of adjuvant to
|
||
include.
|
||
Tank Mixtures in Fallow
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may be used as a fallow treatment, and may be tank mixed with other
|
||
herbicides that are registered for use in fallow.
|
||
Read and follow all manufacturer's label recommendations for the companion herbicide. If those
|
||
recommendations conflict with this label, do not mix the herbicide with MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide.
|
||
Tank Mixtures in Pastures or Rangeland

With Liquid Nitrogen Solution Fertilizer
|
||
Liquid nitrogen fertilizer solutions may be used as a carrier in place of water. Run a tank mix compatibility
|
||
test before mixing MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide in fertilizer solution.
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide must first be slurried with water and then added to liquid nitrogen solutions
|
||
(e.g. 28-0-0, 32-0-0). Ensure that the agitator is running while the MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is added.
|
||
Use of this mixture may result in temporary crop yellowing and stunting.
|
||
If using low rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution (less than 50% of the spray solution
|
||
volume), the addition of surfactant is necessary. Add surfactant at 11. pt per 100 gal of spray solution
|
||
(0.03% v/v).
|
||
When using high rates of liquid nitrogen fertilizer in the spray solution, adding surfactant increases the
|
||
risk of crop injury. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, fieldman, or Etigra representative for a
|
||
specific recommendation before adding an adjuvant to these tank mixtures.
|

APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide may be applied to grain sorghum by properly calibrated ground or aerial
|
||
equipment.
|
||
Ground Application: Apply uniformly by ground with a properly calibrated low pressure (20-40 PSI)
|
||
boom sprayer equipped with flat fan nozzles. Use 10-30 GPA with ground equipment.
|
||
Aerial Application: Use orifice discs, cores and nozzle types and arrangements that will provide for
|
||
optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage at 2 to 5 GPA. Do not apply during inversion
|
||
conditions, when winds are gusty, or when other conditions will favor poor coverage and/or drift.
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide can be used on either dryland or irrigated grain sorghum. If application is
|
||
made to irrigated sorghum, delay first post-treatment irrigation for at least 3 days after treatment. The first
|
||
post-treatment irrigation should not exceed 1 ".
|
||
Use cUltivation prior to MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide + 2,4-0 amine treatment to cover exposed brace
|
||
roots of grain sorghum to minimize injury from 2,4-0 amine.
|
||
PRECAUTIONS
|
||
• Temporary crop yellowing and/or stunting may occur soon after application, especially when crop is
|
||
under stress conditions.
|
||
47
|
||
|
||
• Do not use on grain sorghum grown for seed production or syrup. Do not use on forage sorghum.
|
||
• Do not use for forage or silage within 30 days of application.
|
||
• Do not include a surfactant or crop oil to the tank mix.
|
||
• Do not apply this treatment under cold, wet weather conditions or to grain sorghum growing under
|
||
stress caused by weather, insects or disease as crop injury may result.
|
||
• Do not apply to long season grain sorghum varieties or grain sorghum that is planted after July 1, as
|
||
crop injury or delayed maturity may occur.
|
||
• Do not exceed one (1) application per year.
|
||
• MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide must be used with 2,4-D; in areas where 2,4-D use is restricted, follow
|
||
requirement of the restriction. If 2,4-D use is prohibited, do not use MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide on
|
||
grain sorghum.

MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide WITH MCPA, 2,4-D ANDIOR DICAMBA FOR
|
||
SUPPRESSION OF WINTER ANNUAL BROADLEAF WEEDS IN WINTER WHEAT
|
||
TO BE GRAZED OUT IN THE STATES OF TEXAS, OKLAHOMA, NEW MEXICO
|
||
AND KANSAS
|
||
GENERAL INFORMATION
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide can be tank mixed with MCPA, 2,4-D and/or dicamba for suppression of
|
||
winter annual broadleaf weeds in winter wheat to be grazed out and not harvested for grain, in the States
|
||
of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Kansas.
|
||
For the suppression of winter annual broad leaf weeds (such as hen bit and mustards) in winter wheat in
|
||
the states of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Kansas, MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide at 0.05 (1120)
|
||
ounce per acre should be tank mixed with MCPA, 2,4-D and/or dicamba at label rates. Winter annual
|
||
broad leaf weeds should be less than 1" tall or in the rosette stage for suppression. Add an Etigra
|
||
recommended nonionic surfactant having at least 80% active ingredient at 1 to 2 qts per 100 gal of spray
|
||
solution (0.25 to 0.5% v/v).
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide can also be tank mixed at this rate with approved insecticides. This
|
||
treatment can be applied by ground or air. However, under certain conditions (drought stress, cold
|
||
weather, or if the crop is in the 2-4 leaf stage), tank mixes or sequential applications of MSM E-Pro 60 EG
|
||
Herbicide with organophosphate insecticides (such as parathion, "Di-Syston") may produce temporary
|
||
crop yellowing or, in severe cases, crop injury. The potential for crop injury is greatest when wide
|
||
fluctuations in day/night temperatures occur just prior to or soon after application. Test these mixtures in a
|
||
small area before treating large areas. Do not use MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide plus Malathion as crop
|
||
injury will result.

EG Herbicide at 0.05 (1/20) ounces per acre on wheat that will be grazed out.
|
||
The minimum rotation interval is 22 months with at least 18" of cumulative precipitation during the period:
|
||
• To any crop not listed in the Rotation Intervals table above
|
||
• If the soil pH is not in the specified range
|
||
To rotate to a crop at an interval shorter than recommended, a field bioassay must be successfully
|
||
completed to rotate to that crop. See section on Field Bioassay in the EPA approved MSM E-Pro 60 EG
|
||
Herbicide label for further information.
|
||
IMPORTANT RESTRICTIONS
|
||
This treatment is for use on winter wheat that will be grazed out and will not be harvested for grain.
|
||
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide suppresses weeds by postemergence activity. For best results, apply MSM
|
||
E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide to young, actively growing weeds. The degree and duration of suppression at 1/20
|
||
ounce per acre may depend upon the following factors:
|
||
• Weed spectrum and infestation intensity
|
||
• Weed size at application
|
||
• Environmental condition at and following treatment.
|
||
Refer to the MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide and tank mix partner labels for additional use directions,
|
||
restrictions, rotational crop intervals and precautions. The most restrictive provision on the applicable
|
||
label shall apply. Read and follow all manufacturer label recommendations for the companion herbicides.
|
||
If those recommendations conflict with this label, do not tank mix the herbicide with MSM E-Pro 60 EG
|
||
Herbicide.
|
||
CROP ROTATION
|
||
Before using MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide, carefully consider your crop rotation plants and options. For
|
||
rotational flexibility, do not treat all of your wheat, barley, fallow, pasture, or rangeland acres at the same
|
||
time.
|
||
Minimum Rotational Intervals
|
||
Minimum rotational intervals' are determined by the rate of breakdown of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide
|
||
applied. MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide breakdown in the soil is affected by soil pH, presence of soil
|
||
microorganisms, soil temperature, and soil moisture. Low soil pH, high soil temperature, and high soil
|
||
moisture increase MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide breakdown in soil, while high soil pH, low soil
|
||
temperature, and low soil moisture slow MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide breakdown.
|
||
Of these :3 factors, only soil pH remains relatively constant. Soil temperature, and to a greater extent, soil
|
||
moisture, can vary significantly from year to year and from area to area. For this reason, soil temperatures
|
||
and soil moisture should be monitored regularly when considering crop rotations.
|
||
• The minimum rotation interval represents the period of time from the last application to the anticipated
|
||
date of the next planting.
|
||
Soil pH Limitations
|
||
MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide should not be used on soils having a pH above 7.9, as extended soil
|
||
residual activity could extend crop rotation intervals beyond normal. Under certain conditions, MSM E-Pro
|
||
60 EG Herbicide could remain in the soil for 34 months or more, injuring wheat and ·barley. In addition,
|
||
other crops planted in high-pH soils can be extremely sensitive to low concentrations of MSM E-Pro 60
|
||
EG Herbicide.
|
||
Checking 5011 pH
|
||
49
|
||
|
||
511s-~
|
||
Before using MSM E·Pro 60 EG Herbicide, determine the soil pH of the areas of intended use. To obtain
|
||
a representative pH value for the test area, take several 0" to 4" samples from different areas of the field
|
||
and analyze them separately. Consult your local extension publications for additional information on
|
||
recommended soil sampling procedures.

|
||
Field Bioassay
|
||
To conduct a field bioassay, grow test strips of the crop or crops you plan to grow the following year in
|
||
fields previously treated with MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide. Crop response to the bioassay will indicate
|
||
whether or not to rotate to the crop(s) grown in the test strips.
|
||
If a field bioassay is planned, check with your local Agricultural dealer or Etigra representative for
|
||
information detailing the field bioassay procedure.
|
||
GRAZING
|
||
There are no grazing restrictions on MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide.
|
||
IMPORTANT PRECAUTIONS
|
||
Treated vegetation may be cut for forage or hay. Coveralls, shoes plus socks must be worn if cutting
|
||
within 4 hours of treatment.
|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
1. Fill the tank y. to 1/3 full of water (if using liquid nitrogen fertilizer solution in place of water, see
|
||
Tank Mixtures sections for additional details).
|
||
2. While agitating, add the required amount of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide.
|
||
3. Continue agitation until the MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
|
||
4. Once the MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling
|
||
tank with water. MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide should be thoroughly mixed with water before
|
||
adding any other material.
|
||
5. As the tank is filling, add tank mix partners (if desired) then add the necessary volume of non ionic
|
||
surfactant. Always add surfactant last.
|
||
6. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly re
|
||
agitate before using,
|
||
7, Apply MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product
|
||
degradation.
|
||
8, If MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, pre
|
||
slurry the MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide in clean water prior to adding to the tank, This will prevent
|
||
the tank mix partner from interfering with the dissolution of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide,
|
||
Do not use MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide with spray additives that reduce the pH of the spray solution to
|
||
below 3,0.
|
||
SPRAY EQUIPMENT
|
||
For specific application equipment, refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for additional
|
||
information on GPA, pressure, speed, nozzle types and arrangements, nozzle heights above the target
|
||
canopy, etc. Be sure to calibrate air or ground equipment properly before application. Select a spray
|
||
volume and delivery system that will ensure thorough coverage and a uniform spray pattern with minimum
|
||
54
|
||
|
||
drift, Use higher spray volumes to obtain better coverage when the crop canopy is dense, Avoid swath
|
||
overlapping, and shutoff spray booms while starting, turning, slowing, or stopping to avoid crop injury,
|
||
Do not make applications using equipment and/or spray volumes or under weather conditions that might
|
||
cause spray to drift onto nontarget sites, For additional information on spray drift, refer to the Spray Drift
|
||
Management section of the label.
|
||
Continuous agitation is required to keep MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide in suspension,
|
||
SPRAYER CLEANUP
|
||
Spray equipment must be cleaned before MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is sprayed, Follow the cleanup
|
||
procedures specified on the labels of previously applied products, If no directions are provided, follow the
|
||
six steps outlined in After Spraying MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide section of this label.
|
||
At the End of the Day
|
||
When multiple loads of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide herbicide are applied, it is recommended that at the
|
||
end of each day of spraying, the interior of the tank be rinsed with fresh water and then partially filled, and
|
||
the boom and hoses flushed, This will prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits that can accumulate
|
||
in the application equipment.
|
||
After Spraying MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide and Before Spraying Crops Other than Wheat, Barley,
|
||
Fallow, Pasture, or Rangeland
|
||
To avoid subsequent injury to desirable crops, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment
|
||
immediately following applications of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide as follows:
|
||
1, Drain tank; thoroughly rinse spray tanks, boom, and hoses with clean water, Loosen and
|
||
physically remove any visible deposits,
|
||
2, Fill the tank with clean water and 1 gal of household ammonia' (contains 3% active) for every 100
|
||
gal of water. Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning solution, Then add more
|
||
water to completely fill the tank, Circulate the cleaning solution through the tank and hoses for at
|
||
least 15 min, Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles again with the cleaning solution, and then drain
|
||
the tank,
|
||
3, Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing cleaning agent and
|
||
water,
|
||
4, Repeat step 2,
|
||
5, Rinse the tank, boom, and hoses with clean water,
|
||
6, If only Ammonia is used as a cleaner, the rinsate solution may be applied back to the crop(s)
|
||
recommended on this label. Do not exceed the maximum labeled use rate, If other cleaners are
|
||
used, consult the cleaner label for rinsate disposal instructions. If no instructions are given,
|
||
dispose of the rinsate on site or at an approved waste disposal facility,
|
||
'Equivalent amounts of alternate-strength ammonia solution or an Etigra-approved cleaner can be used
|
||
in the cleanout procedure, Carefully read and follow the individual cleaner instructions, Consult your
|
||
agricultural dealer, applicator, or Etigra representative for a listing of approved cleaners.
|
||
Notes:
|
||
1. Attention: Do not use chlorine bleach with ammonia, as dangerous gasses will form, Do not clean
|
||
equipment in an enclosed area,
|
||
2, Steam-cleaning aerial spray tanks is recommended prior to performing the above cleanout
|
||
procedure to facilitate the removal of any caked deposits,
|
||
3. When MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide is tank mixed with other pesticides, all required cleanout
|
||
procedures should be examined and the most rigorous procedure should be followed,
|
||
4, In addition to this cleanout procedure, all precleanout guidelines on subsequently applied
|
||
products should be followed as per the individual labels,
|
||
5, Where routine spraying practices include shared equipment frequently being switched between
|
||
applications of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide and applications of other pesticides to MSM E-Pro
|
||
60 EG Herbicide sensitive crops during the same spray season, it is recommended that a sprayer
|
||
be dedicated to MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide to further reduce the chance of crop injury,

|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift.
|
||
The applicator is responsible for considering al/ these factors when making application decisions.
|
||
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets (> 150-200 microns). The best
|
||
drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control.
|
||
The presence of sensitive species nearby, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect
|
||
how an applicator balances drift control and coverage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS REDUCES
|
||
DRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT WILL NOT PREVENT DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE IMPOROPERL Y
|
||
OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS! See, Wind, Temperature and
|
||
Humidity, and Temperature Inversions section of this label.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size- General Techniques
|
||
o Volume- Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with
|
||
higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
|
||
o Pressure- Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces
|
||
droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE
|
||
NEEDED, USE A HIGHER-CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE.
|
||
o Nozzle Type- Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle
|
||
types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles.
|
||
ContrOlling Droplet Size- Aircraft
|
||
• Number of Nozzles- Use the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide
|
||
uniform coverage.
|
||
• Nozzle Orientation- Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to the
|
||
airstream will produce larger droplets than other orientations.
|
||
• Nozzle Type- Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with swirl plate removed) oriented
|
||
straight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types.
|
||
• Boom Length- The boom length should not exceed 0/. of the wing or rotor length- longer booms
|
||
increase drift potential.
|
||
• Application Height- Application more than 10ft above the canopy increases the potential for spray
|
||
drift.
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT
|
||
Setting boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the
|
||
exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with
|
||
the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10
|
||
mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any
|
||
given wind speed. AVOID GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
|
||
Note: local terrain can influence wind pattems. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind
|
||
patterns and how they affect spray drift.
|
||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to
|
||
reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
56
|
||
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing,
|
||
which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a
|
||
concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude
|
||
and are Common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun
|
||
sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog
|
||
is not present inversions can also be identified 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.
|
||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility
|
||
of the applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of
|
||
the product.
|
||
AIR ASSISTED (AIR BLAST)
|
||
FIELD CROP SPRAYERS
|
||
Air assisted field crop sprayers carry droplets to the target via a downward directed air stream. Some may
|
||
reduce the potential for drift, but if a sprayer is unsuitable for the applications and/or set up improperly,
|
||
high drift potential can result. It is the responsibility of the applicator to determine that a sprayer is suitable
|
||
for the intended applications, is configured properly, and that drift is not occurring.
|
||
Note: Air assisted field sprayers can affect product performance by affecting spray coverage and canopy
|
||
penetration. Consult the application equipment section of this label to determine if use of an air assisted
|
||
sprayer is recommended.
|
||
PRECAUTIONS
|
||
Injury to or loss of desirable tress or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following.
|
||
• Do not apply, drain or flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas
|
||
Where their roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into
|
||
contact with their roots.
|
||
• Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts, golf courses, athletic fields, commercial sod
|
||
operations, or other high-maintenance, fine turfgrass areas, or similar areas.
|
||
• Do not use on grasses grown for seed.
|
||
• Do not apply to irrigated land where tailwater will be used to irrigate crops other than wheat and
|
||
barley.
|
||
• Do not apply to frozen ground as surface runoff may occur.
|
||
• Do not apply to snow-covered ground.
|
||
• Wheat and barley varieties may differ in their response to various herbicides. Etigra recommends
|
||
that you first consult your state experiment station, university, or extension agent as to sensitivity
|
||
to any herbicide. If no information is available, limit the initial use of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide
|
||
to a small area.
|
||
• Under certain conditions such as heavy rainfall, prolonged cold weather, or wide fluctuations in
|
||
day/night temperatures prior to or soon after MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide applications, temporary
|
||
discoloration and/or crop injury may occur. MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide should not be applied to
|
||
wheat or barley that is stressed by severe weather conditions, drought, low fertility, water
|
||
saturated soil, disease, or insect damage or crop injury may result. Risk of injury is greatest when
|
||
crop is in the 2 to 5 leaf stage. Severe winter stress, drought, disease, or insect damage following
|
||
application also may result in crop injury.
|
||
• The combined treatment effects of MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide postemergence preceded by
|
||
preemergence wild oat herbicides may cause crop injury to spring wheat when crop stress (soil
|
||
crusting, planting too deep, prolonged cold weather, or drought) causes poor seedling vigor.
|
||
• In the Pacific Northwest, to prevent cold weather-related crop injury, avoid making applications
|
||
during winter months when weather conditions are unpredictable and can be severe.
|
||
57
|
||
|
||
• Do not apply to wheat, barley or pastures undersown with legumes, as injury to the forage may
|
||
result.
|
||
• To reduce the potential for movement of treated soil due to wind erosion, do not apply to powdery
|
||
dry or light sandy soils until they have been stabilized by rainfall, trashy mulch, reduced tillage, or
|
||
other cultural practices. Injury to immediately adjacent crops may occur when treated soil is blown
|
||
onto land used to produce crops other than cereal grains or pasture/rangeland.
|
||
• For ground applications applied to weeds when dry, dusty field conditions exist, control of weeds
|
||
in wheel track areas may be reduced. The addition of 2,4-0 or MCPA should improve weed
|
||
control under these conditions.
|
||
• Preplant or preemergence applications of 2,4-0 made within 2 weeks of planting spring cereals
|
||
may cause crop injury when used in conjunction with early postemergence applications of MSM
|
||
E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide. For increased crop safety, delay MSM E-Pro 60 EG Herbicide treatment
|
||
until crop tillering has begun.
