|
||
removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean
|
||
clothing.
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to
|
||
intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not con-taminate water
|
||
when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.
|
||
Reporting Ecological Incidents:
|
||
To report ecological incidents, including mortality, injury, or harm to plants and
|
||
animals, call 1-901-774-4370.
|
||
Groundwater Advisory
|
||
This chemical is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain
|
||
conditions as a result of label use. This chemical may leach into groundwater if
|
||
used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is
|
||
shallow.
|
||
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
|
||
groundwater. This product is classified as having high
|
||
potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several weeks or months 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 Metolachlor from runoff
|
||
water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding
|
||
application when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.

capacity to contain at a minimum 110% of the capacity of the largest pesticide
|
||
container or application equipment on the pad. A pad that is covered by a roof
|
||
of sufficient size to completely exclude precipitation from contact with the pad
|
||
shall have a minimum containment capacity of 100% of the capacity of the
|
||
largest pesticide container or application equipment on the pad. Containment
|
||
capacities as described above shall be maintained at all times. The above-
|
||
specified minimum containment capacities do not apply to vehicles when

site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by following label
|
||
directions intended to minimize spray drift.
|
||
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
|
||
ENDANGERED SPECIES PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS:
|
||
It is a Federal offense to use any pesticide in a manner that results in an
|
||
unauthorized “take” (e.g. kill or otherwise harm) of an endangered
|
||
species and certain threatened species, under the Endangered Species
|
||
Act section 9. When using this product, you must follow the measures
|
||
contained in the Endangered Species Protection Bulletin for the area in
|
||
which you are applying the product. You must obtain a Bulletin no
|
||
earlier than six months before using this product. To obtain Bulletins,
|
||
consult http://www.epa/gov/espp/, call 1-844-447-3813, or email
|
||
ESPP@epa.gov. You must use the Bulletin valid for the month in which
|
||
you will apply the product.
|
||
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with
|
||
its labeling.
|
||
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. For any requirements specific to your state or tribe, consult the
|
||
agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
|
||
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use
|
||
this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the 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
|
||
requirements 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 12 hours. Exception: If the product is
|
||
soil-injected or soil-incorporated, the Worker Protection Standard, under
|
||
certain circumstances, allows workers to enter the treated area if there will
|
||
be no contact with anything that has been treated.
|
||
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 barrier laminate or viton
|
||
• Shoes plus socks
|
||
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND USE
|
||
PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN POOR WEED
|
||
CONTROL, CROP INJURY, OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.
|
||
HERBICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
METOLACHLOR GROUP 15 HERBICIDE
|
||
For resistance management, this product is a Group 15 mode of action
|
||
herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants
|
||
naturally resistant to this product and other Group 15 mode of action
|
||
herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population
|
||
if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate
|
||
resistance management strategies should be followed.
|
||
To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
• Rotate the use of this product or other Group 15 mode of action
|
||
herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing
|
||
seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds
|
||
in a field.
|
||
• Use tank-mixtures with herbicides from a different group if such use
|
||
is permitted; where information on resistance in target weed species
|
||
is available, use the less resistance-prone partner at a rate that will
|
||
control the target weed(s) equally as well as the more resistance-
|
||
prone partner. Consult your local extension service or certified crop
|
||
advisor if you are unsure as to which active ingredient is currently
|
||
less prone to resistance. • Adopt an integrated weed-management
|
||
program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical
|
||
information related to herbicide use and crop rotation, and that
|
||
considers tillage (or other mechanical control methods), cultural
|
||
(e.g., higher crop seeding rates; precision fertilizer application
|
||
method and timing to favor the crop and not the weeds), biological
|
||
(weedcompetitive crops or varieties) and other management
|
||
practices. • Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed
|
||
populations for early signs of resistance development. Indicators of
|
||
possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed
|
||
species normally controlled by the herbicide at the dose applied,
|
||
especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading
|
||
patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; (3)
|
||
surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same
|
||
species. If resistance is suspected, prevent weed seed production in
|
||
the affected area by an alternative herbicide from a different group
|
||
or by a mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage. Prevent
|
||
movement of resistant weed seeds to other fields by cleaning
|
||
harvesting and tillage equipment when moving between fields, and
|
||
planting clean seed.
|
||
• If a weed pest population continues to progress after treatment with
|
||
this product, discontinue use of this product, and switch to another
|
||
management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if
|
||
available.

|
||
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
|
||
Observe all use precautions and limitations on the labels of each
|
||
product used in tank-mixtures. Tank-mixtures are permitted only in
|
||
those states where the tank-mix partner is registered.
|
||
Me-Too-Lachlor III Herbicide is a selective herbicide recommended as
|
||
a pre-plant surface-applied, pre-plant incorporated, or preemergence
|
||
treatment in water or fluid fertilizer for control of most annual grasses
|
||
and certain broadleaf weeds in Field corn and Popcorn.
|
||
Note: Do not use in nurseries, turf, or landscape plantings. Do not
|
||
apply under conditions which favor runoff or wind erosion of soil
|
||
containing this product to non-target areas.
|
||
To prevent off-site movement due to runoff or wind erosion:
|
||
1) Avoid treating Powdery dry or Light sand soilswhen conditions are
|
||
favorable for wind erosion. Under these conditions, the soil surface
|
||
should first be settled by rainfall or irrigation.
|
||
2) Do not apply to impervious substrates such as paved or highly
|
||
compacted surfaces.
|
||
3) Do not use tailwater from the first flood or furrow irrigation of
|
||
treated fields to treat non-target crops unless at least one-half inch
|
||
of rainfall has occurred between application and the first irrigation.
|
||
Where directions on this label specify a tank-mixture with Atrazine
|
||
follow the rates, recommendations, and limitations on the Atrazine
|
||
product label.
|
||
Note: Certain states may have established rate limitations for Atrazine
|
||
within specific geographical areas. Consult your state lead pesticide
|
||
control agency for additional information. It is a violation of this label to
|
||
deviate from state use regulations.
|
||
If this product is incorporated, any supplemental tillage before planting
|
||
must not exceed the depth of incorporation.
|
||
Dry weather following pre-emergence application of this product or a
|
||
tank-mixture may reduce effectiveness. Cultivate if weeds develop.
|
||
Where reference is made to weeds partially controlled, partial control
|
||
can either mean erratic control from good to poor, or consistent control
|
||
at a level below that generally considered acceptable for commercial
|
||
weed control.
|
||
1) SOIL TEXTURES AND HERBICIDE RATES
|
||

||
3) APPLICATION PROCEDURES Application Timing
|
||
This product alone or in some tank-mixtures with other labeled
|
||
herbicides may be applied for weed control in Field corn and Popcorn
|
||
at various times. Refer to the given crop section of the label to
|
||
determine if application timings listed below are recommended.
|
||
A) Pre-plant Surface-Applied: For minimum-tillage or no-tillage
|
||
systems only, this product alone and some tank-mixtures of this
|
||
product may be applied up to 45 days before planting. Use only
|
||
split applications for treatments made 30 to 45 days before
|
||
planting, with two-thirds the recommended broadcast rate for the
|
||
crop and soil texture applied initially and the remaining one-third at
|
||
planting. Treatments less than 30 days before planting may be
|
||
made either as a split or a single application. If weeds are present
|
||
at the time of treatment, apply in a tank-mixture combination with
|
||
a contact herbicide (for example, Gramoxone Extra or Roundup).
|
||
Observe directions for use, use precautions, and restrictions on
|
||
the label of the contact herbicide. To the extent possible, do not
|
||
move treated soil out of the row or move untreated soil to the
|
||
surface during planting, or weed control will be diminished.
|
||
B) Pre-plant Incorporated: Apply this product to the soil and
|
||
incorporate into the top 2 inches of soil within 14 days before
|
||
planting, using a finishing disk, harrow, rolling cultivator, or similar
|
||
implement capable of providing uniform 2 inch incorporation. Use
|
||
a pre-plant incorporated application if furrow irrigation is used or
|
||
when a period of dry weather after application is expected. If Field
|
||
corn and Popcorn will be planted on beds, apply and incorporate
|
||
this product after bed formation, unless specified otherwise.
|
||
C) Pre-emergence: Apply this product during planting (behind the
|
||
planter) or after planting, but before weeds or Field corn and
|
||
Popcorn emerge.
|
||
4) SPECIAL APPLICATION PROCEDURES
|
||
A) CA Only (Field corn and Popcorn)—Pre-plant Incorporated:
|
||
Broadcast this product alone or with tank-mix partners listed on
|
||
this label to the soil and thoroughly incorporate with a disk or
|
||
similar implement set to till 4 to 6 inches deep. For more thorough
|
||
incorporation, till the soil in 2 different directions (cross-till). Field
|
||
corn and Popcorn may be planted on flat surface or on beds.
|
||
Caution should be used when forming the beds that only soil from
|
||
this product’s treated zone is used (i.e., untreated soil should not
|
||
be brought to soil surface). If the application is made to preformed
|
||
beds, incorporate this product with a tillage implement set to till 2
|
||
to 4 inches deep. Care should be taken during tilling to keep the
|
||
tilled (this product treated) soil on the beds.
|
||
Pre-emergence: Apply this product after planting. Water with
|
||
sprinkler or flood irrigation within 7 to 10 days. Fall Application
|
||
(Only in IA, MN, ND, SD, WI, and portions of NE and IL - see
|
||
specific instructions for timing of appli-cation and other
|
||
information): Do not apply to frozen ground. Use on Medium and
|
||
Fine soils with greater than 2.5% organic matter that will be planted
|
||
to Field corn or Popcorn the next Spring. Ground may be tilled
|
||
before or after application. Do not exceed a 2 to 3 inch
|
||
incorporation depth if tilled after treatment. Note: If a Spring
|
||
application is made, the total rate of the Fall plus Spring
|
||
|
||
applications must not exceed the maximum total rate for the
|
||
specific crop, or illegal residues may result.
|
||
Ground Application: Apply this product alone or in tankmixtures by
|
||
ground equipment in a minimum of 10 gallons of spray mixture per
|
||
acre, unless otherwise specified.
|
||
Use sprayers that provide accurate and uniform application. For tank-
|
||
mixtures of this product with wettable powder or dry flowable
|
||
formulations, screens and strainers should be no finer than 50
|
||
mesh. Rinse sprayer thoroughly with clean water immediately after
|
||
use.

|
||
*See “GENERAL INFORMATION”section. Control of these weeds
|
||
can be erratic, due partially to variable weather conditions.
|
||
Control may be improved by following these suggested
|
||
procedures:
|
||
1) In Field corn and Popcorn use 2 to 2.67 pints per acre or the pre-
|
||
plant surface-applied rates for this product alone or in tank-
|
||
mixture, if allowed, when making pre-plant incorporated or pre-
|
||
emergence applications.
|
||
2) Thoroughly till moist soil to destroy germinating and emerged
|
||
weeds. If this product is to be applied pre-plant incorporated, this
|
||
tillage may be used to incorporate this product if uniform 2 inch
|
||
incorporation is achieved as recommended under “APPLICATION
|
||
PROCEDURES”.
|
||
3) Plant Field corn and Popcorn into moist soil immediately after
|
||
tillage. If this product is to be used pre-emergence, apply at
|
||
planting or immediately after planting.
|
||
4) If available, sprinkler irrigate within 2 days after application. Apply
|
||
one-half to 1 inch of water. Use lower water volume (one-half inch)
|
||
on Coarse-textured soils and higher volume (1 inch) on Fine-
|
||
textured soils . Also, refer to the section on “CENTER PIVOT
|
||
IRRIGATION APPLICATION” for this method of applying this
|
||
product.
|
||
5) If irrigation is not possible and rain does not occur within 2 days
|
||
after planting and application, weed control may be decreased.
|
||
Under these conditions, a uniform, shallow cultivation is
|
||
recommended as soon as weeds emerge.
|
||
**For partial control of this weed, use a minimum of 2 pints per acre
|
||
and apply pre-emergence.
|
||
***For partial control of this weed, use a minimum of 2 pints per acre
|
||
and apply through a center pivot irrigation system.
|
||
2) ROTATIONAL CROPS
|
||
This Product Alone: (1) If Field corn or Popcorn crop treated with
|
||
this product alone is lost, either Field corn or Popcorn may be
|
||
replanted immediately. Do not make a second broadcast
|
||
application of this product. If the original application was banded
|
||
and the second crop is planted in the untreated row middles, a
|
||
second banded treatment may be applied. (2) Barley, Oats, Rye,
|
||

0.8 to 1.6 pints per acre of an appropriately labeled 3.8 pounds a.i.
|
||
per gallon of 2,4-D amine (such as Weedar
|
||
® 64, Weedar 64A, DMA-
|
||
4 Herbicide, or Formula 40 ®) to the spray tank last and apply in a
|
||
minimum of 25 gallons of carrier per acre. As carriers, nitrogen
|
||
solutions and complete liquid fertilizers, applied before Corn
|
||
emergence, enhance burndown of existing weeds, and therefore, are
|
||
recommended instead of water. Add X-77 surfactant at 1 to 2 quarts
|
||
per 100 gallons of diluted spray, or another appropriate sur-factant at
|
||
its recommended rate, or add crop oil concentrate plus 28% liquid
|
||
nitrogen (or equivalent).
|
||
Apply before weeds exceed 3 inches in height. If Alfalfa is present,
|
||
add Dicamba (Banvel) to the spray mixture at 0.33 to 0.5 pint per acre
|
||
and apply before Alfalfa exceeds 6 inches in height.
|
||
For fields with existing sod grasses (e.g., Bromegrass, Orchardgrass,
|
||
Rye, or Timothy), when existing weeds exceed 3 inches in height or
|
||
when very dry conditions exist, add Gramoxone Extra at the rate of
|
||
2.5 pints per acre in place of or in addition to 2,4-D, as indicated
|
||
above. Do not apply Gramoxone Extra in suspension-type liquid
|
||
fertilizer. Observe all directions for use, use precautions, and
|
||
limitations on the respective product labels when applying these
|
||
products in tank-mix combination.
|
||
8. TANK-MIXTURE WITH MARKSMAN IN CONSERVATION
|
||
TILLAGE — FIELD CORN
|
||
In conservation tillage systems where Field corn is planted directly
|
||
into a cover crop or previous crop residue, this product + Marksman
|
||
will kill most emerged small annual weeds. Apply this product +
|
||
Marksman before, during, or after planting, but before Field corn
|
||
emergence on Medium and Fine soils with greater than 2.5% organic
|
||
matter. For fields with existing vegetation exceeding 3 inches in
|
||
height or when very dry conditions exist, add Gramoxone Extra at its
|
||
standard rate. This product + Marksman may be applied post-
|
||
emergence to Field corn less than 3 inches tall and before weedy
|
||
grasses exceed the 2 leaf stage. As carriers, nitrogen solutions and
|
||
complete liquid fertilizers, applied before Corn emergence, enhance
|
||
burndown of existing weeds. Do not apply Gramoxone Extra in
|
||
suspension-type liquid fertilizer or use on emerged crop. Refer to the
|
||
Marksman label and follow all directions, limitations, use precautions,
|
||
and information regarding application and use in Field Corn.

APPENDICES
|
||
APPENDIX A: COMPATIBILITY TEST
|
||
Because liquid fertilizers can vary, even within the same analysis,
|
||
always check compatibility with herbicide(s) each time before
|
||
use. Be especially careful when using complete suspension or fluid
|
||
fertilizers, as serious compatibility problems are more likely to occur.
|
||
Commercial application equipment may improve compatibility in some
|
||
instances. The following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gallons
|
||
per acre For other spray volumes, make appropriate changes in the
|
||
ingredients. Check compatibility using this procedure: 1. Add 1 pint of
|
||
fertilizer to each of 2 one-quart jars with tight lids.
|
||
2. To one of the jars, add one-quarter teaspoon or 1.2 milliliters of a
|
||
compatibility agent approved for this use, such as Compex ® or
|
||
Unite® (one-quarter tsS LV HTXLYDOHQW WR SWV JDOV VSUD\
|
||
Shake or stir gently to mix.
|
||
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of herbicide(s). If more
|
||
than one herbicide is used, add them separately with dry
|
||
herbicides first, flowables next, and emulsifiable concentrates last.
|
||
After each addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix. The
|
||
appropriate amount of herbicides for this test follows:
|
||
Dry herbicides: For each pound to be applied per acre, add 1.5
|
||
level teaspoons to each jar.
|
||
Liquid herbicides: For each pint to be applied per acre, add
|
||
onehalf teaspoon or 2.5 milliliters to each jar.
|
||
Note: For this product in tank-mixtures with Atrazine + Sim-Trol,
|
||
use one-third to one-half the amount of Atrazine specified above
|
||
and the remainder as Sim-Trol, depending on whether the 1:2 or
|
||
1:1 ratio of Atrazine to Sim-Trol is to be applied.
|
||
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, and invert each
|
||
jar 10 times to mix. Let the mixtures stand 15 minutes and then
|
||
look for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film
|
||
on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility. Determine if the
|
||
compatibility agent is needed in the spray mixture by comparing
|
||
the 2 jars. If either mixture separates, but can be remixed readily,
|
||
the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If
|
||
the mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods of
|
||
improving compatibility: (A) slurry the dry herbicide(s) in water
|
||
before addition, or (B) add one-half of the compatibility agent to the
|
||
fertilizer and the other one-half to the emulsifiable concentrate or
|
||
flowable herbicide before addition to the mixture. If incompatibility
|
||
is still observed, do not use the mixture.
|
||
APPENDIX B: LOW CARRIER APPLICATION For Broadcast
|
||
Ground Application Only
|
||
Use sprayers, such as Ag-Chem RoGator
|
||
®, Hagie, John Deere Hi-
|
||
Cycle™, Melroe Spra-Coupe, Tyler Patriot™, or Willmar Air Ride ®,
|
||
that provide accurate and uniform application. Only water may be
|
||
used as a carrier. Screens in suction and in-line strainers should be
|
||
50 mesh. Manufacturers may require that tip screens as fine as 100
|
||
mesh be used with some nozzles. Use a pump with capacity to: (1)
|
||
maintain up to 35 to 40 psi at the nozzles, and (2) provide sufficient
|
||
agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension. Use a minimum of 5
|
||
gallons of spray mixture per acre. Maximum recommended sprayer
|
||
speed is 15 mph. Rinse sprayer thoroughly with clean water
|
||
immediately after each use.
|
||
Note: Low pressure nozzles are recommended to reduce drift and
|
||
increase application accuracy. Care should be taken when using
|
||
automatic rate controlling devices to spray the material within the
|
||
rated working pressure and flow ranges of the nozzles selected.
|
||
Nozzle screens should be used when recommended by the
|
||
manufacturer. All nozzles should be placed on 20 inch centers, except
|
||
flooding types which should be placed on 40 inch centers. When Flat
|
||
Fan-type nozzles are used, angles of 80° or 110° are recommended.
|
||
Always read and follow the manufacturer’s directions for optimum
|
||
setup and performance of their nozzles or tips.
|
||
APPENDIX C: AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||
Apply this product in water alone or in tank-mixtures with Atrazine, or
|
||
Linuron in a minimum total volume of 2 gallons per acre by aircraft.
|
||
This product may also be applied by air in combination with Prowl.
|
||
Avoid application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot
|
||
be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur. To assure that
|
||
spray will not adversely affect adjacent sensitive nontarget plants,
|
||
apply this product alone or this product + Atrazine by aircraft at a
|
||
minimum upwind distance of 400 feet from sensitive plants, or apply
|
||
this product + Lorox at a minimum upwind distance of 300 feet from
|
||
sensitive plants. Avoid application to humans or animals. Flagmen
|
||
and loaders should avoid inhalation of spray mist and prolonged
|
||
contact with skin.
|
||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
GROUND BOOM APPLICATIONS:
|
||
• User must only apply with the release height recommended by the
|
||
manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop
|
||
canopy.
|
||
• Applicators are required to select the nozzles and pressure that
|
||
deliver medium or coarser droplets (ASABE S572).
|
||
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the
|
||
application site.
|
||
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
BOOMLESS GROUND APPLICATIONS:
|
||
• Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that
|
||
deliver medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.3) for all
|
||
applications.
|
||
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 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
|
||
ground or vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is
|
||
necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
• Applicators are required to select the nozzle and pressure that
|
||
deliver medium or coarser droplets (ASABE S641).
|
||
• If the wind speed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use
|
||
one-half swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the
|
||
field. When the wind speed is between 11 to 15 miles per hour,
|
||
applicators must use three-fourths swath displacement upwind at
|
||
the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the
|
||
application site. If the wind speed is greater than 10 mph, the boom
|
||
length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft
|
||
and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. Otherwise,
|
||
the boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixedwing
|
||
aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters.
|
||
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFFSITE
|
||
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.
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom
|
||
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.
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||

|
||
ME-TOO-LACHLOR III
|
||
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.
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID
|
||
APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
|
||
Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain
|
||
that could affect spray drift.
|
||
BOOMLESS 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.
|
||
APPENDIX D: CENTER PIVOT IRRIGATION APPLICATION
|
||
This product alone in tank-mixture with other herbicides on this label,
|
||
which are registered for center pivot application, may be applied in
|
||
irrigation water pre-emergence (after planting, but before weeds or
|
||
crop emerge) at rates recommended on this label. This product also
|
||
may be applied post-emergence to the Field corn crop or Popcorn
|
||
crop and pre-emergence to weeds in Field corn or Popcorn where
|
||
post-emergence applications are allowed on this label. Follow all
|
||
restrictions (height, timing, rate, etc.) to avoid illegal residues. Apply
|
||
this product only through a center pivot irrigation system. Do not apply
|
||
this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury,
|
||
lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can
|
||
result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. If you have
|
||
questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension
|
||
specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. Do not
|
||
connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used
|
||
for pesticide application to a public water system, unless the pesticide
|
||
label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place.
|
||
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible
|
||
for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person,
|
||
shall shut down the system and make the necessary adjustments
|
||
should the need arise.
|
||
Operating Instructions
|
||
1. The system must contain a functional check-valve, vacuum relief
|
||
valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately located on the
|
||
irrigation pipeline to prevent water-source contamination from
|
||
backflow.
|
||
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional,
|
||
automatic, quick-closing check-valve to prevent the flow of fluid
|
||
back toward the injection pump.
|
||
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional,
|
||
normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake
|
||
side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock
|
||
to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when
|
||
the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut
|
||
down.
|
||
4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to
|
||
automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water
|
||
pump motor stops.
|
||
5. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional
|
||
pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the
|
||
water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution
|
||
is adversely affected.
|
||
6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive
|
||
displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump or piston
|
||
pump), effectively designed and constructed of materials that are
|
||
compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a
|
||
system interlock.
|
||
7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area
|
||
intended for treatment.
|
||
8. Prepare a mixture with a minimum of 1 part of water to 1 part
|
||
herbicide(s) and inject this mixture into the center pivot system.
|
||
Injecting a larger volume of more dilute mixture per hour will
|
||
usually provide more accurate calibration of metering equipment.
|
||
Maintain sufficient agitation to keep the herbicide in suspension.
|
||
9. Meter into irrigation water during entire period of water
|
||
application.
|
||
10. Apply in one-half to 1 inch of water. Use the lower water volume
|
||
(one-half inch) on Coarse-textured soils and the higher volume (1
|
||
inch) on Fine-textured soils . More than 1 inch of water at
|
||
application may reduce weed control by moving the herbicide
|
||
below the effective zone in the soil. Use Precautions: for center
|
||
pivot applications: Where sprinkler distribution patterns do not
|
||
overlap sufficiently, unacceptable weed control may result.
|
||
Where sprinkler distribution patterns overlap excessively, crop
|
||
injury may result.
|
||
APPENDIX E: DRY BULK GRANULAR FERTILIZERS
|
||
Many dry bulk granular fertilizers may be impregnated or coated with
|
||
this product alone or selected tank-mixtures of this product which are
|

|
||
Absorptive materials should be added only after the herbicide has
|
||
been thoroughly blended into the fertilizer mixture. Best application
|
||
results will be obtained by using a granule of six-thirtieth particle size
|
||
or of a size similar to that of the fertilizer material being used.
|
||
Generally, less than 2% by weight of absorptive material will be
|
||
needed. Avoid using more than 5% absorptive material by weight.
