Because of variations in climate or other factors, there are various expert opinions

extension service weed specialist for their specific recommendations on type of 
application, dosages, and timing of use. You may wish to follow their recommen­
dations, which may vary somewhat from those given below. 
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. 
Do not use until you have read the "IMPORTANT NOTE" on this label. 
WHEAT. BARLEY. OR RYE-To control easy-to-kill weeds, use 'I. pint per acre. 
To control hard-to-klll weeds, apply 1h pint per acre. Treat after tiUering begins and 
before crop emerges from the boot or before jointing. Treat winter wheal only in 
spring when weeds are small, and before the crop begins heading. Application at 
other times may cause abnormal heading. Do not spray these crops when seed­
ed down with legumes. Do not forage or graze treated grain fields within 2 weeks 
after treatment with 2,4·0. Do not feed treated straw to livestock. 
CORN-Apply 'I. pint per acre. Treat any time before tassels appear, but if corn is 
8 inches or taller, avoid application to the growing point by using drop nozzles and 
directing the spray near the base of the crop. Because different varieties of corn 
vary in susceptibility to herbicides, consult your state agricultural experiment sta­
tion or extension service weed specialist to determine if your particular hybrid is 
resistant. 
Avoid cultivating soon after treatment when corn may be brinle. Do not use in corn 
grown for seed production. For pre-emergence Ireatment, use 2% pints overall per 
acre; spray 1 to 3 days before corn emerges. Do not use pre-emergence sprays 
on light, sandy soils. 
LAWNS, GOLF COURSES AND SIMILAR TURF-Apply 1'1, pints per acre. For 
small areas, use 2 teaspoonslul per gallon of water. 00 not apply to newly seed­
ed lawns until grass is well established. Do not use on bent or other creeping 
grasses. Clover or other legumes may be injured by spraying, especially during 
hot summer wealher. Avoid spraying seed grasses when in the blossoming or pol­
linating stage. Spray or vapors from this product may injury Dichondra. For turf, the 
maximum number of broadcast applications per treatment site is 2 per year. 
NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS 
The reqUirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within 
the scope of the Worker Protection Standard for agricultural pesticides (40 
CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agri­
cultural plants on tarms, forests, nurseries, or greenhouses. 
USE REQUIREMENTS FOR NONCROP AREAS OTHER THAN TURF: Do 
not enter treatment areas until spray has dried or dust has settled. For early 
entry to treatment areas, wear eye protection, chemical resistant gloves, long 
sleeved shirt, long pants, sock and shoes. 
TURF USE REQUIREMENTS: Do not allow people (other than applicator) or 
pets on treatment area during application. Do not enter treatment areas until 
spray has dried. 
NOTE: For application to turf being grown for sale or other commercial use as 
sod, or tor commercial seed production, or for research purposes, follow AGRI­
CULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS on this label. 
NON·CROP AREAS (Fence--rows, Righls·of·ways, and Similar Areas) Apply 
1'/, to 2 pints in 100 gallons of water and wet foliage thoroughly. Repeat treatments 
may be needed to control hard-to-kill weeds; re·treat when regrowth is visible. 
SPOT TREATMENT: For spot treatment spraying of small non-crop area, mix 1 
tablespoon per gallon of water and thoroughly wet all weed foliage.
