GENERAL INFORMATION
Performance of this product may be affected by local conditions, crop
varieties, and application method. User should consult local
extension service, agricultural experiment station, or university weed
specialists, and state regulatory agencies for recommendations in
your area.
Best results are obtained when product is applied to young succulent
weeds that are actively growing. Application rates lower than
recommended will be satisfactory on susceptible annual weeds. For
perennial weeds and conditions such as the very dry area of the
westem states, where control is difficult, the higher recommended
rates should be used.
When product is used for weed control in crops, the growth stage of
the crop must be considered.
Some plants and weeds, especially woody varieties, are difficult to
control and may require repeat applications. Application rates should
be 2 to 10 gallons of total spray by air or 5 to 25 gallons by ground
equipment unless otherwise directed. In either case, use the same
amount of 2,4-0 recommended per acre. For crop uses, do not mix
with oil, surfactants, or other adjuvants unless specifically
recommended on label. To do so may reduce herbicide's selectivity
and could result in crop damage.
Aerial application should be used only when there is no danger of
drift to susceptible crops. Many states have regulations concerning
aerial application of 2,4-0 formulations. Consult local regulatory
authorities before making applications. Although this product is a low
Because coarse sprays are less likely to drift than fine, do not use
equipment (such as hollow cone small orifice nozzles) or conditions
(such as high pressure) that produce such sprays.
Product should not be allowed to come into contact with desirable,
susceptible plants such as beans, cotton, fruit trees, grapes,
legumes, ornamentals, peas, tomatoes, and other vegetables.
Product should not be used in greenhouses. Excessive amounts of
this product in the soil may temporarily inhibit seed germination and
all plant growth.
If stored 'below freezing, it may be necessary to warm product to
400F and agitate before using. This does not affect the efficiency of
the product.
Spray equipment used to apply 2,4-0 should not be used for any
other purpose until thoroughly cleaned with a suitable chemical
cleaner.
Spray Preparation: Add the recommended amount of product to
approximately one-half the volume of water to be used for spraying.
Agitate well, then add the remainder of the water. Continue agitation
during application until spray tank is empty.
Use in Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizer: Product may be combined with
liquid nitrogen fertilizer suitable for foliage application on corn, grass,
pastures, or small grains in one operation. Use product according to
directions on this label for those crops. Use liquid fertilizer at rates
recommended by supplier or extension service specialist. Mix the
product and fertilizer according to the following instructions:
Fill the spray tank approximately 1/2 full with the liquid fertilizer. Add
the product while agitating the tank. Add the remainder of the liquid
fertilizer while continuing to agitate. Apply immediately maintaining
agitation during application until tank is empty. DO NOT APPLY
DURING COLD (NEAR FREEZING) WEATHER. Spray mixture must
be used immediately and may not be stored.
WHERETO USE

Spray when weeds are small after grain begins tillering but before
boot stage (usually 4 to 8 inches tall). Do not apply before the tiller
stage nor from early boot through milk stage. To control large weeds
that will interfere with harvest or to suppress perennial weeds,

stage. Best results will be obtained when soil moisture is adequate
for plant growth and weeds are growing well.
Spring Planted Oats: Use Y, pint per acre in sufficient water to give
good ceverage. Apply after the fully tiIIered stage, except during the
boot to dough stage.
Fall Planted Oats: Apply l'Ho 1 Y. pints per acre with
recemmended amount of water after full tillering but before early boot
stage. Some difficult weeds may require higher rates of Y. to 1 Y.
pints per acre for maximum control, but injury may result. Do not
spray during or immediately following celd weather.
Preharvest Treatment: Apply 1 to 2 pints with recommended
amount of water per acre when grains are in the hard dough stage to
centrollarge weeds that may interfere with harvest. Best results will
be obtained when soil moisture is sufficient to cause succulent weed
growth.
Note: Oats are less tolerant to 2,4-0 than wheat or barley and more
likely to be injured. Do not forage or graze treated grain fields within
2 weeks after treatment with 2,4-0. Do not feed treated straw to
livestock.
Wheat and Barley: Control of wild garlic and wild onion
For improved control of difficult weeds including wild garlic and wild
onion, apply 1 to 2 pints of product per acre. Since these rates may
injure the crop, do not use unless possible crop damage is
acceptable. For the higher rates on spring wheat and barley, consult
your local State Agricultural Experiment Station or Extension Service
weed specialist for recommendations or suggestions to fit local
conditions.
Control of Wild Garlic in Stubble Grain:
Following the harvest of small grains, and wild garlic often produces
new fall growth. This should be sprayed with 4 to 6 pints of product in
10 to 40 gallons of water per acre. This is a useful practice as one
part of wild garlic control program. Do not plant any crop for three
months after treatment. Do not forage for 14 days following
applications.
Com (Field, Swee~ Pop): See table for recommended use rates.
Preemergence: Apply product from 3 to 5 days after planting but
before com emerges. Do not use on very light. sandy soils. Use the
higher rates on heavy soils. Plant corn as deep as practical.
Post Emergence: Best results are usually obtained when weeds are
small and corn is 4 to 18 inches tall. When corn is over 8 inches tall,
use drop nozzles. Do not apply from tasseling to dough stage. If corn
is growing rapidly and temperature and soil moisture content is high,
use Y, pint per acre rate to reduce possibility of crop damage. Delay
cultivation for 8 to 10 days to prevent stalk breakage due to
temporary brittleness caused by 2,4-0. Application rates of up to 1
('/13
pint per acre may be used to control some hard to control weeds.
However, the possibility of injury to the corn is increased.
If corn is over 8 inches tall, use drop nozzles to keep spray off corn
foliage as much as possible. Do not use with oil, atrazine, or other
adjuvants. Since the tolerance to 2,4-0 of individual hybrids varies,
consult your local Extension Service, Agricultural Experiment Station,
or University Weed Specialist for information.
Pre-Harvest: After the hard dough or denting stage, apply 1 to 2
pints per acre by air or ground equipment to suppress perennial
weeds, decrease weed seed production, and control tall weeds such
as bindweed, cocklebur, dogbane, jimsonweed, ragweed, sunflower,
velveUeaf, and vines that interfere with harvesting. Do not forage or
feed cont fodder to livestock for 7 days following application.
Post-Harvest: Following the harvest of corn, wild garlic often
produces new fall growth. This should be sprayed with 2 to 3 quarts
of product per acre. This is a useful practice as one part of a wild
garlic control program. Do not forage 7 days following application.
Do not plant any crop for three months after treatment.
Sorghum (Milo): See table for recommended rate.
Apply to sorghum when crop is 4 to 12 inches high with secondary
roots well established. Use drop nozzles when crop is over 10 inches
high. Do not apply from flowering to dough stage. Rates of up to 1
pint per acre may be used to control some hard to control weeds.
However, the chance of crop injury is increased with the higher rates.
Do not use with oil. Use lower rate if conditions of high temperature
and high soil moisture exist. Varieties vary in tolerance to 2,4-0 and
some hybrids are quite sensitive. Spray only varieties known to be
tolerant to 2,4-0. Contact seed company or your Agricultural
Experiment Station or Extension Service weed specialists for this
information.

RED POTATOES (Grown for fresh market): Property timed
applications of this product generally enhance red color, aid in
storage retention of red color, improve skin appearance, increase
tuber set, and improve tuber size uniformity (fewer jumbos). Crop
response may vary depending on variety, stress factors, and local
conditions. Consult willl Agricultural Extension Service and other
qualified crop advisors for local treatment. Apply 2.3 fl. oz. of this
product per acre in 5 to 25 gallons of water using ground or aerial
equipment. The specific spray volume selected should be sufficient
for good coverage of plants. Make first application when potatoes are
in lIle pre-bud stage (about 7 to 10 inches high) and make a second
application about 10 to 14 days later. Do not exceed two applications
per crop. Do not harvest within 45 days of application. Uneven
application or mixture with olher pesticides and additives may
increase the risk of crop injury.
SOYBEANS (PRE PLANT ONLY): For use in crop residue
management systems: Apply % to 1 pint per acre not less than 7
days prior to planting soybeans or 1 to 2 pints per acre not less than
30 days prior to planting. For best weed control, apply to
postemergent weeds when small, actively growing, and free of stress
caused by extremes in climatic conditions, diseases, or insect
damage. The response of individual weed species is variable.
Consult your local county agent or state Agricultural Extension
Service 6r crop consultant for advice. Use the higher rate on larger
weeds when perennials are present.

Apply using air or ground equipment in sufficient gallonage to obtain
adequate coverage of weeds. Use 2 or more gallons of water per
acre in aerial equipment and 10 or more gallons of water per acre in
ground equipment.
After applying, plant soybean seed as deep as practical or at least 1-
1/2 to 2 inches deep. Adjust the planter press wheel, if necessary, to
ensure that planted seed is completely covered.
If desired, this product may be applied preplant to soybeans in tank
mixtures with other herbicides such as Poast®, Poast® Plus,
Roundup®, Roundup® D-Pak, Honcho®, Gramoxone® Extra,
Prowl®, Pursuit® Plus, Scepter® 70DG, Squadrori®, and others that
are registered for pre plant soybean use.
Compatible crop oil concentrates, nonionic surfactants, and fluid
fertilizers approved for use on growing crops may increase the
herbicidal effectiveness of 2,4-0 on certain weeds and may be added
to the spray tank. Read and follow all directions and precautions on
this label and on all labels of adjuvants or fertilizers mixed with this
product.
NOTE: Unacceptable injury to soybeans planted in treated fields
may occur. Whether or not soybean injury occurs and the extent of
the injury will depend on weather (temperature and rainfall) from

Not registered for use in California.
USE RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS
Do not apply this product prior to planting soybeans if you are not
prepared to accept the results of soybeans injury, including possible
loss of stand and yield.
Do not use on low organic sandy soils (less than 1.0%).
Do not apply this product when weather conditions such as
temperature, air inversions, or wind favor drift from treated areas to
susceptible plants.
Do not mow or cultivate weeds prior to treating with this product as
poor control may result.
Do not use any tillage operations between application and planting.
Do not feed treated hay, forage, or fodder. Restrict livestock from
grazing treated fields. Do not feed or graze treated cover crops to
livestock.
Only one application may be made prior to planting soybeans per
growing season.
Do not replant fields treated with this product in the same growing
season with crops other than those labeled for 2,4-0 use.
Ornamental Turf, such as Lawns, Golf Courses (Fairways,
Aprons, Tees and Roughs), Sad Farms, Cemeteries, and Parks:
Use 1 to 41/5 pints of product in 40 to 180 gallons or enough water
to give good coverage to one acre on established stands of perennial
grasses, depending on type of weeds and stage of growth. Usually 4
pints per acre provides good weed control under average conditions.
On turf, apply a maximum of4 115 pints of this product per acre per
application per site. Treat when weeds are young and actively
growing. Do not apply to newly seeded grasses until well established.
Use higher rate for hard-ta-kill weeds. Use higher rate when using
higher volume of water per acre. Do not exceed speCified application
dosages for any area. Deep-rooted perennial weeds may require
repeated treatments in the same season or in subsequent years.
Spray when air temperature is between 500 and 850 F. Avoid
applying during excessively dry or hot periods unless irrigation
(watering) is used before treatment. Do not apply if rainfall is
expected within 48 hours, nor should lawns be irrigated for 48 hours
following application. For optimum results, turf should not be mowed
for 1 to 2 days before and after application. Reseed no sooner than 3
to 4 weeks after application of this product. Adding oil, wetting agent,
or other surfactant to the spray may be used to increase
effectiveness on weeds, but doing so may reduce selectivity to turf
resulting in turf damage. Maximum kill of weeds will be obtained by
applying in spring and early fall when weeds are actively growing. Do
not use on golf greens nor on dichondra or other broadleaf
herbaceous ground covers. Do not use on creeping grasses such as
bent grass and St. Augustine except for spot spraying. Newly seeded
turf should not be treated until after the second mowing and the lower
dosage rate should be used.
Notes for all Turf Sites (excluding Sad Farms): The maximum
number of broadcast applications per treatment site is 2 per year.
Grass Seed Crops:
Apply 1 to 4 pints per acre of product in the spring or fall to control
broad leaf weeds in grass being grown for seed. Do not apply from
early boot to milk stage. Spray seedling grass only after the five leaf
stage, using 0/.0 to 1 pint per acre to control small seedling weeds.
After the grass is well established, higher rates of up to 4 pints per
acre can be used to control hard to kill annual or perennial weeds.
For best results, apply when soil moisture is adequate for good
growth. Do not use on bent grass unless injury can be tolerated.
Keep dairy animals off treated areas for 7 days. Do not cut grass for
hay for 30 days after treatment. Do not slaughter for meat animals for
3 days after treatment.
Fallow Land:
On established perennial species such as Canada thistle and field
bindweed, apply up to 3 quarts per acre of product. For annual
broadleaf weeds, apply 1 to 2 quarts per acre. Do not plant any crop
for 3 months after treatment or until 2,4-0 has disappeared from soil.
Established Pastures and Rangelands:
Use 1 to 4 pints in sufficient water to give good coverage to one acre
depending on type of weeds and stage of growth. Use only on
established stands of perennial grasses. Keep dairy animals off
treated areas for 7 days. Do not cut grass for hay for 30 days after
treatment. Do not slaughter for meat animals for 3 days after
treatment.
Wild Garlic and Wild Onion Control: Apply 4 to 4 1/5 pints of
product per acre making three applications, fall-spring-fall or spring­
fall-spring, staring in the late fall or early spring. Do not graze dairy
cattle within 7 days of application. Do not apply this product within 30
days of cutting grass for hay. Remove meat animals from treated
areas 3 days prior to slaughter.
General Weed Control (Airfields, Roadsides, Vacant Lots, Fence
Rows, Industrial Sites,"and similar areas):
Use 1 to 3 quarts of product per acre. Apply when most annual
broadleaf weeds are still young and growing vigorously. Apply when
perenniat and biennial weeds are actively growing and near the bud
stage, but before flowering. For best results on tansy ragwort and
musk thistle, treat in rosette stage, before bolting. A second
application is usually needed for best results on thistle, nettle, and
bindweed. Treat wild onion or garlic in early spring and in fall when
they are young and growing actively. Mix 4 pints of this product in 2
quarts kerosene or diesel oil, then add this mixture to 100 gallons of
water. Apply 300 to 500 gallons of spray per acre, depending on the
stand. The addition of a wetting agent (spray adjuvant) is suggested.
Usually 2 quarts per acre will give adequate control. Do not use on
herbaceous ground covers or creeping grass such as bent. Legumes
will usually be damaged or killed. Deep-rooted perennials may
require repeat applications. Do not use on freshly seeded turf until
grass is well established. Delay reseeding for 30 days or until 2,4-0
has disappeared from soil.
Bitterweed, Broomweed, Croton, Kochia, Marshelder, Musk
Thistle and Other Broadleaf Weeds: Use 4 to 4 1/5 pints of this
product in 10 to 30 gallons of water per acre. If weeds are young and
growing actively, 2 pints per acre will provide control of some
species. Deep-rooted perennial weeds may require repeated
treatments in the same year or in subsequent years.
Weed Control in Newly Sprigged Coastal Bermudagrass: Apply 2
Yo to 4 pints of this product in 20 to 100 gallons of water per acre pre­
emergence and/or postemergence.
Control of Southern Wild Rose: On roadsides and fencerows, use 1
gallon of this product plus 4 to 8 oz. of a non ionic surfactant, such as
Induce®, per 100 gallons of water and spray thoroughly as soon as
foliage is well developed. Two or more treatments may be required.
On rangeland, apply a maximum of 4 1/5 pints of this product per
acre pre application per site.
Spot Treatment in Non·Crop Areas: To control broadleafweeds in
small areas with a hand or back pack sprayer, use 4 fluid ounces of
this product per gallon of water and spray to thoroughly wet all
foliage.
Grasses in Conservation Reserve Program Areas: To control
annual broad leaf weeds, apply when weeds are actively growing.
Use Yo to 1 pint per acre when weeds are small; use higher rates on
older weeds. Excessive injury may result if applied to young grasses
with fewer than 6 leaves or prior to grasses being well established.
To control biennial and perennial broadleafweeds in established
grasses, apply at a rate of 2 to 4 pints per acre. Apply to actively
growing weeds. Treat when biennial weeds are in the seedling to
rosette stage and before flower stalks become apparent. Treat
perennial weeds in the bud to bloom stage.
NOTE: It is suggested that at least 2 gallons of water per acre by air
and 5 gallons of water per acre by ground be used. Do not harvest or
graze treated Conservation Reserve Program areas. Do not apply to
grasses in the boot to dough stage if grass seed production is
desired.
Woody Plant Control:
To control woody plants susceptible to 2,4-D, such as alder,
buckbrush, elderberry, sumac, and willow on non-crop areas, use 2
to 3 quarts of product in 100 gallons of water. Wet all parts of the
plants thoroughly, including stem and foliage, to the point of runoff.
Higher volumes of up to 400 gallons per acre are necessary where
the brush is very dense and over 6 to 8 feet high. Applications are
more effective when made on actively growing plants. Treatment
should not be made during time of severe drought or in early fall
when leaves lose their green color. Hard to control species may
require re-treatment next season. In general it is better to cut tall
wood plants and spray sucker growth when 2 to 4 feet tall.
Sand Shinnery Oak and Sand Sagebrush: On the oak, use 2 pints
of this product in 5 gallons of oil or in 4 gallons of water plus 1 gallon
of oil per acre. Apply by aircraft between May 15 and June 15. On
the sagebrush, use 2 pints in 3 gallons of oil per acre and apply by
aircraft when foliage is fully expanded and the brush is actively
growing.
Big Sagebrush and Rabbitbrush (for pastures and rangelands,
see note below): Use 2 Y. to 6 pints per acre in 2 to 3 gallons of oil
or in 3 to 5 gallons of oil-water emulsion spray. For rabbitbrush, the 6
pints per acre rate is usually required. Brush should be leafed out
and growing actively when treated. Retreatment may be necessary.
Chamise, manzanita, buckbrush, coastal sage, coyotebrush and
certain other chaparral species - use 2 to 6 pints per acre in 5 to 10
gallons of water. One gallon of fuel oil may be included in the spray
mixture for added effectiveness. Make applications by aircraft or
ground equipment to obtain uniform spray coverage. For effective
control, the brush must be fully leaved out and growing actively when
sprayed. Retreatment may be needed. Consult state of local brush
control specialists for most effective rate, volume and timing of spray
application.
NOTE: May be applied to pastures and rangeland at a maximum rate
of 41/5 pints per acre per application per site.
USES IN FOREST MANAGEMENT
Conifer Release:
For control of alder, apply 1 % to 3 quarts of product per acre per site
in 8 to 25 gallons of water as a foliage spray. Treat when 314 of the
brush foliage has attained full size leaves and before new conifer
growth reaches 2' in length. This is usually between early May and
mid-June. Adjust treatment date depending on stage of growth and
brush species. This may cause leader deformation on exposed firs,
but they should overcome this during the second year after spraying.
For control of susceptible brush species such as Ceanothus spp,
Chinquapin, madrone, manzanita, oak, tanoak, and similar species to
release hemlock, spruce, and firs, apply 3 quarts of product per acre
per site in 8 to 25 gallons of water, just prior to or during budbreak of
Douglas fir. To control Manzanita and Ceanothus in Ponderosa Pine,
apply up to 3 quarts per acre before pine growth begins in spring. To
increase performance, add 2 to 4 quarts of diesel, fuel oil, kerosene,
or a suitable approved non ionic surfactant at recommended label
rate.
After northern conifers, jack pine, red pine, black spruce, and white
spruce cease growth and "harden off' in late summer, a spray of 1%
to 3 quarts of product in 8 to 25 gallons of water per acre per site
may be applied by air to control certain competing hardwood species
such as alder, aspen, birch, hazel, and willow. Since this treatment
may cause occasional conifer injury, do not use if such injury cannot
be tolerated. Consult your regional or extension forester or state
heribicide specialist for recommendations to fit local conditions. .,
Tree Injections (Pine Release): To control hardwoods, such as
Oaks, Hickory, Maple, Pecan, Elm, Sumac, Sweetgum and Hawthorn
in forest and other noncrop areas, apply undiluted product in a
concentrate tree injector calibrated to apply 1 ml. per injection. Space
injections 2" apart, edge to edge, completely around the tree and
close to the base. The injector bit must penetrate the inner bark. On
hard-to-kill species, such as Hickory, Dogwood, Red maple, Blue
beech and Ash, make injections 1 to 1-112 inches apart, edge to
edge. Treatment may be made at any time of the year. For best
results, injections should be made during growing season, May 15-
October 15. For dilute injections, mix 1 gallon of product in 19 gallons
of water.
Dormant Application (other than Pine): For the control of
susceptible deciduous brush species, such as alder, cascara, cherry,
poplar, and serviceberry, apply up to 3 quarts of product per acre in
sufficient diesel, fuel oil or kerosene for good coverage. Application
may be made by ground or air and should be made before conifer
bud break.
Pine Only: Make application while pine buds are still dormant. Apply
2 quarts of product per acre in sufficient water for good coverage by
air or ground equipment. Do not use this application unless some
pine injury is acceptable. Use of diesel, kerosene, or other oil, or
addition of surfactants to spray mix may cause unacceptable pine
injury.
Christmas Tree Plantations: For control of labeled broad leaf weeds
in Douglas fir Christmas trees, use 1 to 2 pints of this product per
acre. Apply over the top of Douglas fir by ground or aerial application,
e.g., only when the trees are donmant, prior to bud break. Do not
spray over the top of pine or true firs (Abies spp.) Directed sprays
may be made to weeds in Christmas tree plantations of all conifer
species, but the spray must not contact tree foliage as injury may
occur. Do not apply to weakened, diseased, or stressed seedlings,
since unacceptable injury may.occur. This product may be mixed
with Atrazine for Christmas tree application (see Tank Mix section.)
Heribaceous Weed Control: To control over-wintering susceptible
weeds, such as false dandelion, klamathweed, plantain, and
tansyragwort, apply 1 to 3 quarts of product per acre in sufficient
water for good coverage. Make application at rates and timing
indicated above if pines are present. For control of hazel brush and
similar species in the .Lake States area, apply 2 quarts of product per
acre per site in 8 to 25 gallons of water, when new shoot growth of
hazel is complete.
Site Preparation:
(As Dormant Spray) - For control of alder prior to planting seedlings,
apply 2 to 4 quarts of product per acre in S to 25 gallons of water,
after alder budbreak but before foliage is 1/4 full size.
(As Foliage Spray) - For control of alder prior to planting seedlings,
apply 2 to 3 quarts of product per acre in S to 25 gallons of water,
after most alder leaves are full size.
To increase penetration, 2 to 4 quarts per acre of diesel, fuel oil,
kerosene, or a suitable approved nonionic surfactant at
recommended label rates may be added to the spray mixture.

Christmas tree plantings: A tank mix of these two producls can be
used to control weeds and thus aid in establishment of young
transplants of Douglas fir, grand fir, nobel fir, white fir, Austrian pine,
bishop pine, Jeffrey pine, Knobcone pine, loblolly pine, lodgepole
pine, Monterey pine, ponderosa pine, scotch pine, slash pine, blue
spruce and Sitka spruce.
The mix should be applied between fall and early spring, preferably
in February or March, while trees are still dormant, or soon after
transplanting. Weeds should not be more than 1-1/2 inches high. It
can be applied with either ground or air equipment. Helicopters have
been highly effective for reforestation applications or steep terrain.
Uniform application is the key to good weed control. Use 20 to 40
gallons of water per acre for ground application. When applying by
air, use a minimum of 5 gallons of water. Be sure equipment is
properly calibrated. All screens in the spray system -- nozzles, and
in-line and suction strainers -- should be 15 mesh or coarser. Use a
pump with capacity to maintain a nozzle pressure of 35 to 40 psi, and
sufficient agitation to keep the mixture in suspension in the spray
tank. If a nurse tank is used, keep the mixture agitated while awaiting
transfer to the spray tank. Mix 2 to 4 quarts atrazine 4L or 2-112 to 5
pounds atrazine 80W with 1 to 3 quarts per acre of Weed Rhap® LV-
4D. The actual rate of atrazine used should depend on soil type.
Scils high in organic matter require higher rates than light to medium
soils. Band application to Christmas Trees - Calculate the amount to
be applied per acre. The band width in inches, divided by the rows
spacing in inches, times the rate per acre for broadcast treatment will
equal the amount needed per acre for band treatment. For example,
when treating a 4-foot band over trees planted in rows of 8 feet apart,
apply 1 Y. to 2 Y. pounds of atrazine per acre. Please read atrazine
label(s) for additional instructions.
