Brush Rhap
|
||
EPA Reg. No. 5905-568
|
||
Your Submission Dated October 14, 2010
|
||
Dear Ms. Wagner:
|
||
The labeling referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the
|
||
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is acceptable,
|
||
provided you make the following changes:
|
||
1. Add "Sorghum" to the list of use sites under the product name on page 1.
|
||
2. On page 4, delete the second occurrence of the "Container Disposal" heading (it appears
|
||
twice).
|
||
3. On page 5, move the statement "Do not apply in greenhouses" to a position below the
|
||
chemigation prohibition so that it's clearly distinguished from it.
|
||
4. On page 10, in the formulas for calculating banding rate and volume, clarify that the
|
||
bandwidth in inches should be divided by the row width in inches by placing a line
|
||
between these variables or inserting a division symbol (-7-).
|
||
5. On page 13, insert the word "allowable" into the last sentence of the 4th bulleted
|
||
statement under "V. Restrictions and Limitations" ("Arid (dry) conditions") so that it
|
||
reads "The maximum allowable application rate ofBRUSH-Rhap may be needed to
|
||
control susceptible weeds in this environment."

Page 2 of3
|
||
EPA Reg. No. 5905-568
|
||
6. On page 13, in the first paragraph under "VI. Food/Feed Crop Specific Information,"
|
||
change "4 pints" to "4 %" pints" to agree with the directions for use on pastures, hay, and
|
||
silage.
|
||
7. Move the 3 paragraphs at the bottom of page 13 under "VI. Food/Feed Crop Specific
|
||
Information" (beginning with the paragraph discussed in item 6, above) to the directions
|
||
for use on "Pastures, Rangeland and Grass (Hay, Silage)" on page 14, since these
|
||
paragraphs are not relevant to all food/feed crops.
|
||
8. Move the "Crop Rotational Restrictions" on page 14 to section "V. Restrictions and
|
||
Limitations." The directions for use on several crops refer users to section V for
|
||
rotational crop information, and this information was located in section V on previously
|
||
accepted labels.
|
||
9. In Table 5 on page 14, correct the maximum rate per acre per season for pasture, hay, and
|
||
silage to read "4 % pints."
|
||
10. On page 14, revise the footnote to Table 5 to read "'Refer to specific crop sections for
|
||
grazing and feeding restrictions."
|
||
11. Make sure the words that run off the right side of the page in the three paragraphs at the
|
||
bottom of page 14 ("hay or" in the first paragraph; "mixes" in the second paragraph; and
|
||
"during" in the third paragraph) appear on the final printed labeling, and correct this
|
||
formatting error in future submissions.
|
||
12. On page 16, insert the word "for" in the statement above "Sorghum Tank Mixes" so that
|
||
it reads "Do not harvest for grain or fodder within 30 days of application."
|
||
13. Revise the beginning of the second sentence at the top of page 19 under "Rates and
|
||
Timings" to read "Refer to Tables 1 and 2 to determine ... "
|
||
14. In the third sentence at the top of page 19 under "Rates and Timings," change "4 pints" to
|
||
"4 % pints" to agree with Table 5.
|
||
15. On page 21, in the rate restriction statement above "NonCrop Area Restrictions," revise
|
||
the acid equivalency statement to read "Equivalent to 1.4 lbs. 2,4-D acid and 1.1 lbs.
|
||
dicamba acid per acre" as in the second paragraph on page 22.

I. PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
BRUSH-RHAP® is a postemergence herbicide for controlling a wide spectrum of annual, biennial, and perennial
|
||
broadleaf weeds and brush in pastures, rangeland, and grass (hay, silage), sorghum, sugarcane, wheat, conservation
|
||
reserve program land, postharvest, fallow, crop stubble, set-aside acres, general farmstead areas, certain noncrop
|
||
areas, and for forest management.
|
||
Use ofthis product in certain portions of Cali fomi a, Oregon, and Washington is subject to the January 22,2004 Order
|
||
ofInjunctive Relief in Washington Toxics Coalition et all vs. EPA COl-132C (W.D.WA.). For information, please
|
||
refer to www.epa.gov/espp/litstatus/wtc.
|
||
Mode of Action
|
||
BRUSH-RHAP® contains two active ingredients uniquely formulated to be used alone or tank mixed with other
|
||
listed products as well as liquid fertilizer solutions. BRUSH-RHAP® is readily absorbed by plants through shoot and
|
||
root uptake, translocates throughout the plant's system, and accumulates in areas of active groWth. BRUSH-RHAP®
|
||
interferes with the plant's growth hormones (auxins) resulting in death of many broadleafweeds.
|
||
For best results, thoroughly clean sprayer equipment (tank, lines and nozzles) immediately after use by flushing
|
||
system with water and heavy duty detergent or other suitable tank cleaner.
|
||
II. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only
|
||
protected handlers may be in the area during application. Apply BRUSH-RHAP® at the rates and growth stages
|
||
listed in Tables 1 and 2 as follows unless instructed differently by section on FoodlFeed Crop Specific Information
|
||
or Non-FoodlFeed Use (Land not Harvested, Grazed or Foraged) - Specific Information. BRUSH-RHAP® may
|
||
be applied using water or sprayable fluid fertilizer as a carrier. The most effective application rate and timing varies
|
||
based on the target weed species (refer to Tables 1 and 2). In mixed populations of weeds the correct rate is
|
||
determined by the weed species requiring the highest rate. Delaying application permits weeds to exceed the
|
||
maximum size and will prevent adequate control. For certain specified applications liquid fertilizer or oil may replace
|
||
part or all of the water as diluent. If dry flowable (DF), wettable powder (WP) or flowable (F} tank mix products are
|
||
to be used, these should generally be added to the spray tank first. Refer to the mixing directions on the labels of the
|
||
tank mix products.
|
||
Irrigation:
|
||
In irrigated areas, it may be necessary to irrigate before treatment to ensure active weed growth.
|
||
CHEMIGATION PROHIBITION
|
||
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Do not apply in greenhouses.
|
||
Spray Coverage:
|
||
5
|
||
|
||
( (
|
||
\
|
||
Weeds must be thoroughly covered with spray. Dense leaf canopies shelter smaller weeds and prevent adequate spray
|
||
coverage.
|
||
Sensitive Crop Precautions:
|
||
BRUSH-RHAP® may cause injury to desirable trees and plants, particularly beans, cotton, flowers, fruit trees,
|
||
grapes, ornamentals, peas, potatoes, soybeans, sunflowers, tobacco, tomatoes and other Qroadleaf plants when
|
||
contacting their roots, stems or foliage. At high temperatures (about 85 degrees or higher), vapors from this product
|
||
may cause injury to the aforementioned susceptible crops. These plants are most sensitive to BRUSH-RHAP®
|
||
during their development or growing stage. Do not treat areas where either possible downward movement into the
|
||
soil or surface washing may cause contact ofBRUSH-RHAP® with the roots of desirable trees and shrubs.
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATION METHODS AND EQUIPMENT
|
||
Water Volume: Use 3-10 gallons of water per acre. Use the higher spray volume when treating dense or tall
|
||
vegetation.
|
||
Application Equipment: Select nozzles designed to produce minimal amounts of fine spray particles. Make
|
||
applications at the lowest stage height to reduce the exposure of spray droplets to evaporation and wind. The
|
||
applicator must follow the most restrictive use cautions to avoid drift hazards, including those found in this labeling
|
||
as well as applicable state and local regulations and ordinances.
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind directions, wind speed, temperature, relative humidity)
|
||
and method of application (e.g., ground, aerial, airblast) can influence pesticide drift. The applicator must evaluate all
|
||
factors and make appropriate adjustments when applying this product.
|
||
Droplet Size
|
||
When applying sprays that contain 2,4-D as the sole active ingredient, or when applying spr~ys that contain 2,4-D
|
||
mixed with active ingredients that require a coarse or coarser spray, apply only as a coarse or coarser spray (ASAE
|
||
standard 572) or a volume mean diameter of 385 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles.
|
||
When applying sprays that contain 2,4-D mixed with other active ingredients that require a medium or more fine
|
||
spray, apply only as a medium or coarser spray (ASAE standard 572) or a volume mean diameter of 300 microns or
|
||
greater for spinning atomizer nozzles.

Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Only apply this product if the wind direction favors on-target
|
||
deposition and there are not sensitive areas (including, but not limited to, residential areas, bodies of water, known
|
||
habitat for nontarget species, nontarget crops) within 250 feet downward. If applying a medium spray, leave one
|
||
swath unsprayed at the downwind edge of the treated field.
|
||
Temperature Inversions
|
||
If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must determine if: a) conditions of temperature inversion
|
||
exist, or b) stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make applications into areas of
|
||
temperature inversions or stable atmospheric conditions.
|
||
Susceptible Plants
|
||
Do not apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, forage, or other plantings that might be
|
||
damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. Susceptible crops include, but are not limited
|
||

to, cotton, okra, flowers, grapes (in growing stage), fruit trees (foliage), soybeans (vegetative stage), ornamentals,
|
||
sunflowers, tomatoes, beans, and other vegetables, or tobacco. Small amounts of spray drift that might not be visible
|
||
may injure susceptible broadleaf plants.
|
||
Other State and Local Requirements
|
||
Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regarding application of 2,4-D herbicides.
|
||
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
|
||
Equipment
|
||
All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or
|
||
surrogates.
|
||
For aerial application:
|
||
The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter.
|
||
Release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight safety. Do not release spray at a height greater
|
||
than 10 feet above the crop canopy unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. This requirement does not
|
||
apply to forestry or rights-of-way applications.
|
||
When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. The applicator must
|
||
compensate for this by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind.
|
||
For ground boom application:
|
||
Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy.

RHAP® each year for 3 consecutive years.
|
||
4 Under dense populations, a second application may be needed the following growing season.
|
||
For increased control of weeds such as blackberry and dewberry, BRUSH-RHAP® may be tank mixed with Ally®
|
||
herbicide (0.1-0.2 ounces per acre), iflabeled for the use site.
|
||
Ground Application (Banding)
|
||
When applying BRUSH-RHAP® herbicide by banding, determine the amount of herbicide and water volume needed
|
||
using the following formula:
|
||
Bandwidth in inches X Broadcast rate = Banding herbicide
|
||
Row width in inches per acre rate per acre
|
||
Bandwidth in inches X Broadcast rate = Banding water
|
||
Row width in inches volume per acre volume per acre
|
||
Ground Application (Broadcast)
|
||
Water volume: Use 10-25 gallons of spray solution per broadcast acre for optimal performance. Use the higher
|
||
spray volume when treating dense or tall vegetation.
|
||
Application Equipment: Select nozzle design to produce minimal amounts of fine spray particles. Spray nozzles as
|
||
close to the weeds as is practical for good weed coverage.
|
||
Spot or Small Area Application
|
||
BRUSH-RHAP® may be applied to individual clumps or small areas of undesirable vegetation using handgun or
|
||
similar types of application equipment. Apply diluted sprays to allow complete wetting (up to runoff) of foliage and
|
||
stems. For knapsack or other small capacity sprayers, prepare a solution of BRUSH-RHAP® in water according to
|
||
Table 3 (assuming that the spot treatment rate equates to 40 gallons pre acre on the broadcast basis.) Adding a
|
||
surfactant (0.5% by volume) can help improve control.
|
||
Do not make spot treatments in addition to broadcast or band treatments.
|
||
Application equipment: Select nozzles designed to produce minimal amounts of fine spray· particles. Spray with
|
||
nozzles as close to the weeds as is practical for good weed coverage.

III. ADDITIVES
|
||
To improve burndown of emerged weeds, surfactants and/or low use rates of liquid fertilizers (28-0-0; 32-0-0), or
|
||
crop oil concentrate may be used with BRUSH-RHAP® herbicide or BRUSH-RHAP® tank mixes applied after the
|
||

|
||

||
( (
|
||
weeds have emerged. Crop oil concentrate is for non-food/feed crop uses only. Do not apply tank mixes that include
|
||
Ammonium Sulfate or Crop Oil Concentrate to any food/feed crop use listed on this label. For food/feed crop use, do
|
||
not use liquid fertilizers that contain Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) as a source of nitrogen as tolerances in commodities
|
||
derived from the crop may contain residues that exceed established tolerances.
|
||
Oil Concentrate
|
||
A crop oil concentrate must contain either a petroleum or vegetable oil base and must meet all of the following
|
||
criteria:
|
||
• be non-phytotoxic
|
||
• contain only EPA-exempt ingredients
|
||
• provide good mixing quality in the jar test, and
|
||
• be successful in local experience
|
||
The exact composition of suitable products will vary; however, vegetable oil and petroleum oil concentrates should
|
||
contain emulsifiers to provide good mixing quality. Highly refined vegetable oils have proven more satisfactory than
|
||
unrefined vegetable oils. For additional information, see Compatibility Test for Mix Components.
|
||
Nitrogen Source
|
||
Sprayable liquid fertilizers: Use Yz GPA of sprayable liquid fertilizers (28-0-0; 32-0-0) per acre. Do not use brass or
|
||
aluminum nozzles when spraying fertilizers.
|
||
Non-ionic Surfactant
|
||
The standard label recommendation is 2-4 pints of an 80% active non-ionic spray surfactant per 100 gallons of water.
|
||
(Rate will vary with the size and condition of weeds to be controlled. Use lowest rate per 100 gallons when weeds are
|
||
small and actively growing. As weeds increase in size and or become hardened off, the rate of non-ionic surfactant
|
||
will have to be increased to give optimum coverage and control.)

Read and follow the applicable Restrictions and Limitations and Directions for Use on aU products involved in
|
||
tank mixing. The most restrictive labeling applies to tank mixes. Physical incompatibility, or reduced weed control
|
||
may result from mixing BRUSH-RHAP® with other pesticides (fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, or miticides),
|
||
additives, or fertilizers.
|
||
Compatibility Test for Mix Components
|
||
Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility jar test.
|
||
For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3.3 cups (800 ml) of water. For other spray volumes adjust accordingly.
|
||
Only use water from the intended source at the source temperature. .
|
||
Add components in the sequence indicated in the Mixing Order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon for
|
||
each pint of specified label rate per acre.
|
||
Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between component additions.
|
||
When the components have all been added to the jar, let the solution stand for 15 minutes. Evaluate the solution for
|
||
uniformity and stability. The spray solution should not have free oil on the surface, nor fine particles that precipitate
|
||
to the bottom, nor thick (clabbered) texture. If the spray solution is not compatible, repeat the compatibility test with
|
||
the addition of a suitable compatibility agent. If the solution is still incompatible, do not mix the ingredients in the
|
||
same tank.
