Subject: Approval of Label Amendment; Only Indicated Changes Reviewed – Removing
|
||
Peanut from the label as well as other minor edits.
|
||
Product Name: CRUSHER herbicide
|
||
EPA Registration Number: 279-3589
|
||
Application Date: 4/20/2022
|
||
Case Number: 474257
|
||
Dear Mr. Bockrath:
|
||
The amended label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the
|
||
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is acceptable.
|
||
However, EPA reviewed only the label changes highlighted, marked, or otherwise indicated on
|
||
the submitted label. Any other changes to the previously approved label that were not clearly
|
||
highlighted, marked, or otherwise indicated in your submission were not reviewed and may
|
||
form the basis of regulatory and/or enforcement action if later discovered by the Agency.
|
||
Further, submission of a label amendment application with unidentified changes may be
|
||
considered a knowing submission of false information to the Agency. This approval does not
|
||
affect any conditions that were previously imposed on this registration. You continue to be
|
||
subject to existing conditions on your registration and any deadlines connected with them.
|
||
The label submitted with the application has been stamped “Accepted Only Indicated Revisions
|
||
Reviewed” and is enclosed for your records.
|
||
This labeling supersedes all previously accepted labeling. You must submit one copy of the final
|
||
printed labeling before you release the product for shipment with the new labeling. In
|
||
accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 152.130(c), you may distribute or sell this product under the
|
||
previously approved labeling for 18 months from the date of this letter. After 18 months, you
|
||
may only distribute or sell this product if it bears this new revised labeling or subsequently
|

|
||
approved labeling. “To distribute or sell” is defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its
|
||
implementing regulation at 40 C.F.R. § 152.3.
|
||
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please
|
||
be aware that the website becomes labeling under FIFRA and is subject to review by the
|
||
Agency. If the website contains any false or misleading statement, design, or graphic, the
|
||
product may be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute under FIFRA Sections 2(q)(1)(A)
|
||
and 12(a)(1)(E). 40 C.F.R. § 156.10(a)(5) lists examples of statements EPA may consider false or
|
||
misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced on the product label,
|
||
claims made as part of the product’s sale or distribution may not substantially differ from those
|
||
claims approved through the registration process under FIFRA Section 12(a)(1)(B). Therefore,
|
||
should the Agency find or if it is brought to our attention that a website contains false or
|
||
misleading statements or claims substantially differing from the EPA approved registration, the
|
||
product will be referred to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.
|
||
Your release for shipment of the product constitutes acceptance of these conditions. If these
|
||
conditions are not complied with, the registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance
|
||
with FIFRA section 6.

|
||
|
||
Surface Water Advisory
|
||
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining
|
||
soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface
|
||
water via runoff for months or more after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas
|
||
to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the
|
||
potential loading of this product from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be greatly reduced by
|
||
avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.
|
||
|
||
Windblown Soil Particles Advisory
|
||
This product has the potential to move off-site due to wind erosion. Soils that are subject to wind erosion usually
|
||
have a high silt and/or fine to very fine sand fractions and low organic matter content. Other factors which can
|
||
affects the movement of windblown soil include the intensity and direction of prevailing winds, vegetative cover,
|
||
site slope, rainfall, and drainage patterns. Avoid applying this product if prevailing local conditions may be expected
|
||
to result in off-site movement.
|
||
|
||
Non-target Organism Advisory
|
||
This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms, including
|
||
pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated area. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by
|
||
minimizing spray drift. For further guidance and instructions on how to minimize spray drift, refer to the Spray Drift
|
||
Management section of this label.
|
||
|
||
|
||

|
||
PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
CRUSHER herbicide is a water dispersible granule containing 50.0% active ingredient by weight. CRUSHER
|
||
herbicide is a selective herbicide for burndown and residual control of certain annual grass and broadleaf weeds
|
||
when applied preplant or preemergence to field corn. It may also be applied 30 days or more preplant to cotton or
|
||
soybeans and 45 days or more preplant to peanuts for winter vegetation management. Residual weed control is
|
||
dependent on rainfall or sprinkler irrigation for herbicide activation. CRUSHER herbicide may be applied in tank
|
||
mixtures with other herbicides labeled for use in the intended crop. However, in the case of tank mixes with other
|
||
herbicides, it is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read
|
||
and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank
|
||
mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the
|
||
tank mixture. If the instructions on the tank mix partner label conflict with this CRUSHER herbicide label, do not
|
||
use in a tank mixture with CRUSHER herbicide.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Biological Activity
|
||
|
||
CRUSHER herbicide is absorbed through the roots and leaf tissue of plants, rapidly inhibiting the growth of
|
||
susceptible weeds. Rainfall or sprinkler irrigation is needed to move CRUSHER herbicide into the soil. Susceptible
|
||
weeds will generally not emerge from preemergence application. In some cases, susceptible weeds may germinate
|
||
and emerge a few days after application, but growth then ceases and leaves become chlorotic three to five days after
|
||
emergence. Death of leaf tissue and growing point will follow in some species, while others will remain green but
|
||
stunted and noncompetitive.
|
||
|
||
The herbicidal action of CRUSHER herbicide may be less effective on weeds stressed from adverse environmental
|
||
conditions (including extreme temperatures or moisture), abnormal soil conditions, or cultural practices.
|
||
|
||
RESTRICTIONS
|
||
x Do not apply postemergence to any crop.
|
||
x Do not graze, feed forage, grain or fodder (stover) from treated areas to livestock within 30 days of CRUSHER
|
||
herbicide application.
|
||
x The maximum amount of rimsulfuron for all uses per year is 0.0625 lb. ai/A.
|
||
x The maximum amount of thifensulfuron-methyl for all uses per year is 0.0469 lb. ai/A.
|
||
x Do not apply to coarse textured soils (sand, loamy sand or sandy loam) with less than 1% organic matter.
|
||
x Do not make more than one application per year of CRUSHER herbicide.
|
||
|
||
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
|
||
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and th e Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part 170. This
|
||
Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses,
|
||
and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requ irements for training, decontamination, notification, and
|
||
emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label
|
||
about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to
|
||
uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.
|
||
|
||
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 4 hours. PPE
|
||
required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves
|
||
contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is:
|
||
Coveralls.
|
||
Chemical resistant gloves made of any waterproof material.
|
||
Shoes plus socks
|
||
|
||
4
|
||
|
||
Injury or loss of desirable trees or vegetation may result from failure to observe the following:
|
||
x 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.
|
||
x Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, or tennis courts.
|
||
x Prevent drift of spray onto desirable plants.
|
||
x Do not contaminate any body of water with CRUSHER herbicide.
|
||
|
||
PRECAUTIONS
|
||
x Allow at least 3 weeks between preemergence applications of CRUSHER herbicide and postemergence
|
||
applications of rimsulfuron containing products, including Solida® herbicide, DuPont™ Realm® Q Herbicide,
|
||
DuPont™ Steadfast® Q Herbicide or DuPont™ Resolve® Q Herbicide.
|
||
x CRUSHER herbicide may interact with certain insecticides applied to soybean, cotton, peanuts or corn. Crop
|
||
response varies with field crop, insecticide used, insecticide application method, and soil type.
|
||
x Preplant/Preemergence applications of CRUSHER herbicide to corn where an application of Thimet® brand
|
||
insecticide is planned may cause unacceptable crop injury, especially on soils of less than 4% organic matter.
|
||
Refer to the table below that lists specific identification information for various Thimet brand insecticides.
|
||
x Crop injury may occur following an application of CRUSHER herbicide if there is a prolonged period of cold
|
||
weather and/or in conjunction with wet soils.
|
||
x Prevent drift or spray to desirable plants.
|
||
x Thoroughly clean application equipment immediately after use. (See Sprayer Cleanup section of this label for
|
||
instructions).
|
||
|
||
WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
CRUSHER herbicide, which contains the active ingredients rimsulfuron and thifensulfuron-methyl, is a group 2
|
||
herbicide based on the mode of action classification system of the Weed Science Society of America.
|
||
|
||
Proactively implementing diversified weed control strategies to minimize selection for weed populations resistant to
|
||
one or more herbicides is a best practice. A diversified weed management program may include the use of multiple
|
||
herbicides with different sites of action and overlapping weed spectrum with or without tillage operations and/or
|
||
other cultural practices. Research has demonstrated that using the labeled rate and directions for use is important to
|
||
delay the selection for resistance.
|
||
|
||
The continued effectiveness of this product depends on the successful implementation of a weed resistance
|
||
management program.
|
||
|
||
To aid in the prevention of developing weeds resistant to this product, users should:
|
||
x Scout fields before application to ensure herbicides and rates will be appropriate for the weed species and weed
|
||
sizes present.
|
||
x Start with a clean field, using either a burndown herbicide application or tillage.
|
||
x Control weeds early when they are relatively small (less than 4 inches).
|
||
x Apply full rates of CRUSHER herbicide for the most difficult to control weed in the field at the specified time
|
||
(correct weed size) to minimize weed escapes.
|
||
x Scout fields after application to detect weed escapes or shifts in control of weed species.
|
||
x Control weed escapes before they reproduce by seed or proliferate vegetatively.
|
||
x Report any incidence of non-performance of this product against a particular weed to your FMC representative,
|
||
local retailer, or county extension agent.
|
||
x Contact your FMC representative, crop advisor, or extension agent to find out if suspected resistant weeds to
|
||
this MOA have been found in your region. If resistant biotypes of target weeds have been reported, use the
|
||
application rates of this product specified for your local conditions. Tank mix products so that there are multiple
|
||
effective sites of actions for each target weed.
|
||
x If resistance is suspected, treat weed escapes with an herbicide having a site of action other than Group 2 and/or
|
||
use nonchemical methods to remove escapes, as practical, with the goal of preventing further seed production.
|
||
x Suspected herbicide-resistant weeds may be identified by these indicators:
|
||
- Failure to control a weed species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if
|
||
control is achieved on adjacent weeds;
|
||
- A spreading patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; and
|
||
- Surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species.
|
||
|
||
5
|
||
Additionally, users should follow as many of the following herbicide resistance management practices as is
|
||
practical:
|
||
x Use a broad-spectrum, soil-applied herbicide with other sites of action as a foundation in a weed control
|
||
program.
|
||
x Utilize sequential applications of herbicides with alternative sites of action.
|
||
x Rotate the use of this product with non-Group 2 herbicides.
|
||
x Avoid making more than two applications of CRUSHER herbicide and any other Group 2 herbicides within a
|
||
single growing season unless mixed with an herbicide with a different site of action with an overlapping
|
||
spectrum for the difficult-to-control weeds.
|
||
x Incorporate non-chemical weed control practices, including mechanical cultivation, crop rotation, cover crops
|
||
and weed-free crop seeds, as part of an integrated weed control program.
|
||
x Use good agronomic principles that enhance crop development and crop competitiveness.
|
||
x Thoroughly clean plant residues from equipment before leaving fields suspected to contain resistant weeds.
|
||
x Manage weeds in and around fields, during and after harvest to reduce weed seed production.
|
||
|
||
|
||
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
This product may be used as 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 pest/crop systems in your area.

TIMING TO CROP
|
||
CRUSHER herbicide may be applied preplant after fall harvest through early spring, up to planting, whenever the
|
||
ground is not frozen, to control emerged weeds and to provide limited residual control of early-emerging spring
|
||
weeds. Additionally, CRUSHER herbicide may be applied any time after planting, but before corn emergence. DO
|
||
NOT apply postemergence to corn. Apply at least 30 days prior to planting in the states of Florida east of US 231
|
||
and Georgia. Control of emerged weeds will require the addition of spray adjuvants as noted in this label.
|
||
|
||
SEQUENTIAL APPLICATION
|
||
CRUSHER herbicide may be used in a sequential herbicide program for corn. Apply CRUSHER herbicide for
|
||
burndown and residual weed control, followed by a post, in-crop application of Solida Herbicide or Harmony® SG
|
||
Herbicide (with TotalSol® soluble granules). Refer to the appropriate product label for use restrictions, application
|
||
information, rotational crop guidelines, and cautionary statements prior to application.
|
||
|
||

|
||
ADDITIONAL CONTROL OF GRASSES AND BROADLEAVES
|
||
CRUSHER herbicide may be tank mixed with full or reduced rates of labeled preplant/preemergence grass and
|
||
broadleaf herbicides to provide added residual activity or burndown activity on emerged weeds. Sequential
|
||
applications of labeled postemergence herbicides may also be made following preplant applications of CRUSHER
|
||
herbicide. Consult tank mix partner labeling for rate and soil-type restrictions. In the case of tank mixes with other
|
||
herbicides,
|
||
it is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read
|
||
and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank
|
||
mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the
|
||
tank mixture. If the instructions on the tank mix partner label conflict with this CRUSHER herbicide label, DO
|
||
NOT use in a tank mixture with CRUSHER herbicide.
|
||
|
||
RESTRICTIONS
|
||
|
||
x Do not apply organophosphate insecticides within 60 days of a preplant or preemergence application of

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
|
||
FERTILIZER CARRIER INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
CRUSHER herbicide may be mixed with water or pre-slurried in water and added to liquid fertilizer for application.
|
||
When using liquid fertilizer as the carrier, always pre-slurry CRUSHER herbicide in water before adding fertilizer
|
||
solutions. Add the CRUSHER herbicide slurry to the final complete liquid fertilizer mixture. DO NOT add
|
||
CRUSHER herbicide during the fertilizer mixing process. Always use good agitation while adding the CRUSHER
|
||
herbicide slurry to liquid fertilizers and maintain good agitation until sprayed.
|
||
|
||
When using liquid fertilizer as the carrier, conduct a compatibility test with all components prior to mixing.
|
||
|
||
DO NOT use with spray additives or liquid fertilizer carriers that alter the pH of the spray solution below pH 5.0 or
|
||
above pH 9.0 as rapid product degradation can occur. Spray solutions of pH 6.0 – 8.0 allow for optimum stability of
|
||
CRUSHER herbicide.
|
||
|
||
DO NOT use with spray additives that alter the pH of the spray solution below pH 5.0 or above pH 9.0 as rapid
|
||
product degradation can occur. Spray solutions of pH 6.0-8.0 allow for optimum stability of CRUSHER herbicide.
|
||
|
||
11
|
||
|
||
WATER CARRIER INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water.
|
||
2. While agitating, add the required amount of CRUSHER herbicide.
|
||
3. Continue agitation until the CRUSHER herbicide is fully dissolved, at least 5 minutes.
|
||
4. Once the CRUSHER herbicide is fully dissolved, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water.
|
||
5. As the tank is filling, add tank mix partners and then add the required volume of spray adjuvant. Always
|
||
add spray adjuvant last. Antifoaming agents may be used. DO NOT use with spray additives that alter the
|
||
pH of the spray solution below pH 6.0 as rapid product degradation can occur. Spray solutions of pH 7.0
|
||
and higher allow for optimum stability of CRUSHER herbicide.
|
||
6. Dispersed tank mix partners can settle if the tank mixture is not continually agitated. If settling occurs,
|
||
thoroughly re-agitate before using.
|
||
7. Apply CRUSHER herbicide spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.
|
||
8. If CRUSHER herbicide and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, fully dissolve the
|
||
CRUSHER herbicide in clean water prior to adding to the tank.
|
||
|
||
TANK MIX COMPATIBILITY TESTING
|
||
Perform a jar test prior to tank mixing to ensure compatibility with CRUSHER herbicide and other
|
||
pesticides. Use a clear quart jar with lid and mix the tank mix ingredients in their relative proportions.
|
||
Invert the jar containing the mixture several times and observe the mixture for approximately ½ hour. If
|
||
the mixture balls-up, forms flakes, sludge, gel, oily film or layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible
|
||
and the tank mix combination must not be used.
|
||
|
||
GROUND APPLICATION
|
||
x Use a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre (GPA) to ensure thorough coverage of the weeds and the
|
||
best performance.
|
||
x Refer to the “Mandatory Spray Drift” section for more detailed instructions.
|
||
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||
x Use nozzle types and arrangements that provide optimum spray distribution and maximum coverage at a
|
||
minimum of 5 GPA.

SPRAYER PREPARATION/CLEANUP
|
||
It is important that spray equipment is clean and free of previous pesticide deposits before using CRUSHER
|
||
herbicide. Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the label of the product previously sprayed including
|
||
directions for rinsate disposal. If no cleanup procedure is provided, use the procedure that follows. Immediately
|
||
following applications of CRUSHER herbicide, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray equipment to avoid
|
||
subsequent crop injury.
|
||
Note: When applying multiple loads of CRUSHER herbicide, DO NOT allow empty sprayer or mixing equipment
|
||
to stand overnight. Partially fill the empty equipment with fresh water at the end of each day of spraying, flush the
|
||
boom, hoses and other equipment, and allow to sit overnight.
|
||
|
||
Cleanup Procedure
|
||
1. Empty the tank and drain the sump completely. Remove any contamination on the outside of the spraying
|
||
equipment by washing with clean water.
|
||
2. Spray the tank walls (including the lid) with clean water using a minimum volume of 10% of the tank
|
||
volume. Add household ammonia at a solution rate of 1 gal/100 gal water or other similarly approved
|
||
cleaner to the tank. Circulate the water through the lines, including all by-pass lines, for at least two
|
||
minutes. Flush the boom well and empty the sprayer. Completely drain the sump.
|
||
3. Repeat step 2. For this rinse, the addition of household ammonia or other cleaner is not required.
|
||
4. Remove the strainers, nozzles, tips and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing water and
|
||
ammonia solution.
|
||
|
||
If only ammonia is used as a cleaner, the rinsate solution may be applied to the crop(s) listed 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.
|
||
|
||

|
||
Notes:
|
||
1. Always start with a clean spray tank.
|
||
2. Steam-clean aerial spray tanks to facilitate the removal of any caked deposits.
|
||
3. When CRUSHER herbicide is tank mixed with other pesticides, all cleanout procedures for each product
|
||
must be examined and the most rigorous procedure must be followed.
|
||
4. In addition to this cleanout procedure, all pre-cleanout guidelines on subsequently applied products must be
|
||
followed as per the individual labels.
|
||
|
||
|
||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT
|
||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||
• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or crop
|
||
canopy.
|
||
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a Coarse or
|
||
coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Aerial Applications:
|
||
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater application
|
||
height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
• For applications prior to the emergence of crops and target weeds, applicators are required to use a Coarse or
|
||
coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
• For all other applications, applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
• The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade diameter for
|
||
helicopters.
|
||
• Applicators must use one-half swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
• Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
|
||
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Boom-less Ground Applications:
|
||
• Applicators are required to use a Medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1) for all applications.
|
||
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT ADVISORIES
|
||
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
|
||
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest
|
||
control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications
|
||
are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
|
||
|
||
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE – GROUND BOOM
|
||
• Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest
|
||
practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a
|
||
higher flow rate.
|
||
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and
|
||
droplet size.
|
||
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to
|
||
reduce drift.
|
||
|
||
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE – AIRCRAFT
|
||
• Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine
|
||
droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
|
||
|
||
15
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT – GROUND BOOM
|
||
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For
|
||
ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||
|
||
RELEASE HEIGHT – AIRCRAFT
|
||
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, do not release spray at
|
||
a height greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
|
||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the
|
||
shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
|
||
|
||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||
|
||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing
|
||
temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of
|
||
an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft
|
||
smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions)
|
||
indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
|
||
Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
BOOM-LESS GROUND APPLICATIONS:
|
||
• Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.
|
||
|
||
HANDHELD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS:
|
||
• Take precautions to minimize spray drift
|
||
|
||
DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES
|
||
Using product compatible drift control additives can reduce drift potential. When a drift control additive is used,
|
||
read and carefully observe cautionary statements and all other information on the additive’s label. If using an
|
||
additive that increases viscosity, ensure that the nozzles and other application equipment will function properly with
|
||
a viscous spray solution. Preferred drift control additives have been certified by the Council of Producers &
|
||
Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA).
