I. USE INFORMATION
|
||
Ultra Blazer herbicide is a soluble liquid intended for selective postemergence control of certain
|
||
broadleaf weeds and grasses in edamame (vegetable soybean), peanuts, soybeans, Strawberries
|
||
and Low Growing Berries (crop subgroup 13-07G), and rice.
|
||
|
||
Crop Rotation Restriction: In case of crop failure, only edamame (vegetable soybean), peanuts,
|
||
soybeans, Strawberries and Low Growing Berries (crop subgroup 13-07G) or rice may be
|
||
immediately replanted. Small grains must not be planted in fields treated with Ultra Blazer for 40
|
||
days following treatment. All other rotated crops must not be planted in fields treated with Ultra
|
||
Blazer for 100 days following treatment.
|
||
|
||
Ultra Blazer label edamame Rev.2/25/22 Page 4
|
||
|
||
Crop Tolerance
|
||
All listed crops are tolerant to Ultra Blazer at all stages of growth listed. Leaf speckling may occur,
|
||
but plants generally outgrow this condition within 10 days. New growth is normal and crop vigor is
|
||
not reduced.
|
||
|
||
Cleaning Spray Equipment
|
||
Clean application equipment thoroughly by using a strong detergent or commercial spray cleaner
|
||
according to the manufacturer’s directions and then triple rinsing the equipment before and after
|
||
applying this product.
|
||
|
||
Herbicide Resistance Management
|
||
For resistance management, Ultra Blazer is a Group 14 herbicide. Any weed population may contain
|
||
or develop plants naturally resistant to Ultra Blazer and other Group 14 herbicides. Weed species
|
||
with acquired resistance to Group 14 may eventually dominate the weed population if Group 14
|
||
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 Ultra Blazer or other Group 14 herbicides within a growing season
|
||
sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same
|
||
weeds in a field. Whenever possible incorporate multiple weed control practices such as
|
||
mechanical cultivation, biological management practices, and crop rotation.
|
||
• 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 (weed-competitive crops or varieties) and other management practices.
|
||
• Fields should be scouted before application to identify the weed species present and their
|
||
growth stage to determine if the intended application will be effective. 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 (MOA), if available. Treat weed escapes with an herbicide with a different
|
||
MOA or use non-chemical methods to remove escapes. To the extent possible do not allow
|
||
weed escapes to produce seeds, roots, or tubers.
|
||
• Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors, and/or manufacturer for
|
||
additional herbicide resistance management and/or integrated weed management
|
||
recommendations for specific crops and resistant weed biotypes. Report any incidence of
|
||
non-performance of this product against a particular weed species to your retailer or UPL NA
|
||
Inc. representative.

II. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Apply labeled rates of Ultra Blazer as follows unless instructed differently in section VI. Crop-
|
||
Specific Information. Applications can be made to actively growing weeds as aerial banding or
|
||
broadcast applications at the rates and growth stages listed in Table 4. Application Rates for Ultra
|
||
Blazer herbicide – Peanuts and Soybeans and in VI. Crop-Specific Information for edamame
|
||
(vegetable soybean), rice and Strawberries and Low Growing Berries (crop subgroup 13-07G). The
|
||
most effective control will result from making postemergence applications of Ultra Blazer early,
|
||
when weeds are small. Early application to weeds results in improved weed control, allows use of
|
||
the lower rate (depending on weed species), and makes thorough spray coverage easier to obtain.
|
||
Delaying application permits weeds to exceed the maximum size stated and will prevent adequate
|
||
control.
|
||
|
||
Irrigation
|
||
In irrigated areas, it may be necessary to irrigate before treatment to ensure active weed growth.
|
||
Weeds growing under drought conditions usually are not adequately controlled.
|
||
|
||
Spray Coverage
|
||
Weeds must be thoroughly covered with spray. Always use an adequate volume of spray solution to
|
||
ensure thorough coverage. Dense leaf canopies shelter smaller weeds and can prevent adequate
|
||
spray coverage.
|
||
|
||
Cultivation
|
||
Do not cultivate within 5 days before or 7 days after applying Ultra Blazer herbicide.
|
||
|
||
Aerial Application Methods and Equipment
|
||
Water Volume: Use a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre. A minimum of 5 gallons of water per
|
||
acre has been effective where adequate coverage can be achieved.
|
||
Spray Pressure: Use up to 40 psi.
|
||
|
||
Application Equipment: Use only diaphragm-type nozzles that produce cone or fan-spray spray
|
||
patterns.
|
||
|
||
Ground Application (Banding)
|
||
Follow Ground Application (Broadcast) instructions for band applications. When row banding
|
||
equipment is used, adjust it to provide maximum coverage of weeds in the row. Thorough coverage
|
||
of the weeds can be obtained with two nozzles directed from either side of the crop row toward the
|
||
weeds in the center rows. The minimum band width is 15 inches with a minimum of 15 gallons of
|
||
water per acre on the band. Do not apply with a single nozzle over the row.
|
||
|
||
Ground Application Methods and Equipment (Broadcast)
|
||
Water Volume: Use 10-20 gallons of spray solution per broadcast acre for optimal performance.
|
||
Increase water volume up to 50 gallons if crop or weed foliage is dense. For Strawberries and Low
|
||
Growing Berries (crop subgroup 13-07G), use 20-40 gallons of spray solution per broadcast acre.
|
||
|
||
Spray Pressure: Use a minimum of 40 psi (measured at the boom, not at the pump or in the line).
|
||
Note: When using the lower water volume (i.e. 10 gallons per acre) or when crop and weed foliage
|
||
is dense, use a minimum of 60 psi for best results.
|
||
|
||
Application Equipment: Use standard high-pressure pesticide flat fan or hollow cone nozzles
|
||
spaced up to 20 in. apart. Do not use flood, whirl chamber, or controlled droplet applicator (CDA)
|
||
nozzles as erratic coverage can cause inconsistent weed control. Do not use selective application
|
||
equipment such as recirculating sprayers or wiper applicators.
|
||
|
||
Ultra Blazer label edamame Rev.2/25/22 Page 6
|
||
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT
|
||
Ground boom applications:
|
||
• When using ground application equipment, apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet a bove the ground
|
||
or crop canopy.
|
||
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.3).
|
||
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Aerial applications:
|
||
• 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.
|
||
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser spray droplet size (ASABE S572.3).
|
||
• When applying to crops via aerial application equipment, the spray boom must be mounted on the aircraft
|
||
so as to minimize drift caused by wing tip or rotor blade vortices. The boom length must not exceed 75% of
|
||
the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter.
|
||
• When applying to crops via aerial application equipment, applicators must use ½ 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.
|
||
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT 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 app lications
|
||
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 applicat ion. If a greater spray vo lume 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.
|
||
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 inc reasing
|
||
temperature with al titude and are common on ni ghts 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 laterall y in a concentrated cloud (under low wind
|
||
conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good
|
||
|
||
Ultra Blazer label edamame Rev.2/25/22 Page 7
|
||
|
||
vertical air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential generally increas es 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.
|
||
|
||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce
|
||
effects of evaporation.
|
||
|
||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which
|
||
causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud.
|
||
Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights
|
||
with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue i nto the
|
||
morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be
|
||
identified 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.
|
||
|
||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However , it is the responsibility of the
|
||
applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform depos ition of the
|
||
product.
|
||
|
||
|
||
III. MIXING INFORMATION
|
||
|
||
Mixing Order
|
||
1. Water. Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer tank three-quarters full of clean water.
|
||
2. Agitation. Maintain constant agitation throughout mixing and application.
|
||
3. Products in PVA Bags. Place any product contained in water-soluble PVA bags into the
|
||
mixing tank. Wait until all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved and the product is
|
||
evenly mixed in the spray tank before continuing.
|
||
4. Water dispersible products (such as dry flowables, wettable powders, suspension
|
||
concentrates, or suspo-emulsions). If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after the
|
||
component has been added.
|
||
5. Water-soluble products (such as Ultra Blazer). If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly
|
||
after the component has been added.
|
||
6. Emulsifiable concentrates (such as oil concentrate when applicable). If an inductor is used,
|
||
rinse it thoroughly after the component has been added.
|
||
7. Water-soluble additives (such as AMS or UAN when applicable). If an inductor is used,
|
||
rinse it thoroughly after the component has been added.
|
||
8. Remaining quantity of water. Maintain constant agitation during application.
|
||
|
||
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 rates accordingly. Only use
|
||
water from the intended source at the source temperature.
|
||
|
||
Add components in the sequence indicated in Mixing Order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1
|
||
teaspoon for each pint of 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,
|
||
|
||
Ultra Blazer label edamame Rev.2/25/22 Page 8
|
||
|
||
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 compatible, use the compatibility agent as directed on its label. If the solution is still
|
||
incompatible, do not mix the ingredients in the same tank.
|
||
|
||
See section VI. Crop-Specific Information for more details. Read and follow the applicable
|
||
Restrictions and Limitations and Directions for Use on all products involved in tank mixing. The
|
||
most restrictive labeling applies to tank mixes. Physical incompatibility, reduced weed control, or
|
||
crop injury may result from mixing Ultra Blazer with other pesticides (fungicides, herbicides,
|
||
insecticides, or miticides), additives, or fertilizers. The user assumes all risks of using tank mixes
|
||
other than those listed.
|
||
|
||
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use.
|
||
Read and follow the applicable restrictions, limitations, and directions for use on all product labels
|
||
involved in the tank mixture. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and
|
||
precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
|
||
|
||
IV. ADDITIVES
|
||
|
||
To achieve consistent weed control, use one of the following additives with Ultra Blazer: ammonium
|
||
sulfate, crop oil concentrate, nonionic surfactant, or urea ammonium nitrate. Use AMS (or UAN)
|
||
when velvetleaf is a target weed. Additives may cause some leaf burn, but new growth is normal and
|
||
crop vigor is not reduced. The potential for leaf burn is increased when relative humidity and
|
||
temperature are high. Consult your local UPL NA Inc. representative for your area. See Table 2
|
||
Additive Rates Per Acre for additive rates and Table 1 Additive Options for Ultra Blazer
|
||
herbicide Tank Mixes.
|
||
|
||
Ammonium Sulfate (AMS)
|
||
AMS is a dry, granular nitrogen-source fertilizer. Use only fine feed-grade or spray-grade AMS
|
||
because inferior grades of AMS do not dissolve adequately and can plug spray nozzles. Do not
|
||
apply AMS if applied in less than 10 gallons per acre because of potential problems with precipitation
|
||
in reduced volumes. Use AMS only if it has been demonstrated to be successful in local experience.
|
||
|
||
Nonionic Surfactant
|
||
The standard label rate is 1-2 pints of an 80% active nonionic spray surfactant per 100 gallons of
|
||
water. For certain weeds, use the higher spray surfactant rate.
|
||
|
||
Oil Concentrate
|
||
The oil concentrate must contain either a petroleum or vegetable oil base and must meet all of the
|
||
following criteria:
|
||
• be nonphytotoxic,
|
||
• contain only EPA-exempt ingredients,
|
||
• provide good mixing quality in the compatibility test, and
|
||
• be successful in local experience.
|
||
|
||
The exact composition of suitable products will vary; however, vegetable 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.
|
||
Some oil concentrates cause excessive leaf burn. Refer to your supplier for information concerning
|
||
successful local experience before purchasing any oil concentrate.
|
||
|
||
Ultra Blazer label edamame Rev.2/25/22 Page 9
|
||
|
||
Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN)
|
||
Commonly referred to as 28%, 30%, or 32% nitrogen solution, UAN may be added in place of other
|
||
spray additives to improve weed control. Because most nitrogen solutions are mildly corrosive to
|
||
galvanized, mild steel, and brass spray equipment, rinse the entire spray system with water soon
|
||
after. Do not use brass or aluminum nozzles when spraying UAN.
|
||
|
||
Temperature and Relative Humidity Effects
|
||
The following standard will help determine the optimum adjuvant rate to use. If the temperature and
|
||
relative humidity exceed 150 (e.g. temperature of 85ºF plus 70% relative humidity = 155), use the
|
||
lower adjuvant rates.

V. LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS – ALL CROPS
|
||
• Stress: Unsatisfactory control may result if applied to weeds or crops under stress due to
|
||
lack of moisture, hail damage, flooding, herbicide injury, mechanical injury, or widely
|
||
fluctuating temperatures.
|
||
• Do not apply Ultra Blazer to crops that show injury (leaf phytotoxicity or plant stunting)
|
||
produced by any other prior herbicide applications, because this injury may be enhanced or
|
||
prolonged.

a Do not count leaves as pairs; count each leaf separately. Do not count cotyledon leaves. Do not spray
|
||
weeds in the cotyledon growth stage.
|
||
b Controlling Florida beggarweed is difficult because of the weed’s long germination season. Apply Ultra
|
||
Blazer herbicide when beggarweed seedlings have no more than 2 young expanding true leaves. Weeds
|
||
at this time will not be more than 1.5” high. It is important to obtain maximum control of the earliest weed
|
||
flush. Time the cultivation to give maximum control of regrowth or secondary weed flushes. Ultra Blazer
|
||
will suppress or partially control weeds growing under conditions of high soil moisture and high relative
|
||
humidity.
|
||
c Partial control of wild buckwheat and buffalobur can usually be obtained when the seedlings have fewer
|
||
than 2 true leaves. Use Ultra Blazer in 30 gallons of water per acre plus surfactant.
|
||
d Members of the cucumber family germinate over an extended period of time. Therefore, control is
|
||
difficult to obtain with a single spray. For Ultra Blazer to be effective, make the initial application to
|
||
weeds no later than the 2-leaf growth stage.
|
||
e Use 1.5 pints of Ultra Blazer herbicide per acre and 2 pints of spray surfactant per 100 gallons of spray
|
||
mix unless otherwise stated. Activity depends on good soil moisture during and after the spray
|
||
applications.
|
||
f Sesbania and crotalaria are very sensitive to Ultra Blazer. Apply 1 pint of Ultra Blazer per acre. Effective
|
||
control can be obtained at just about all plant heights; however, it is important that Ultra Blazer be applied
|
||
prior to bloom. Do not apply after bloom as such applications are usually not effective. To control these
|
||
weeds, time the application to occur after maximum weed emergence has taken place. Care must be
|
||
exercised to make certain that crop canopies do not shade this weed from spray deposits. Waiting for the
|
||
sesbania to break through the crop canopy may be advisable to control late season infestations.
|
||
g Suppression or partial control.
|
||
h More consistent control of morningglories can be achieved by using sequential applications of 1 pint of
|
||
Ultra Blazer.
|
||
i The labeled application of Ultra Blazer will usually kill or severely stunt wild poinsettia. Apply before the
|
||
third true leaf has formed. This treatment will usually cause a height differential between soybeans and
|
||
surviving wild poinsettia which will allow directed applications and even greater control.
|
||
j The labeled application of Ultra Blazer will kill or suppress seedlings that are not past the 2-leaf stage.
|
||
Applications after the 2-leaf stage are usually ineffective.
|
||
k Use AMS (or UAN) as the additive when velvetleaf is a target weed.
|
||
l Ultra Blazer must not be the basic component of a grassy weed or volunteer small grains management
|
||
program. Ultra Blazer will kill or stunt many emerging volunteer small grains or grassy weeds in the 1-2
|
||
leaf stage. Ultra Blazer can be used for additional control of escaped grasses and volunteer grains
|
||
following a pre-plant incorporated or pre-emergence herbicide.
|
||
|
||
Ultra Blazer label edamame Rev.2/25/22 Page 18
|
||
|
||
m Growth of perennial weeds from underground rootstocks is very difficult to control. Apply Ultra Blazer
|
||
as listed above with 2-4 pints of spray surfactant per 100 gallons of spray mix to burn back the above-
|
||
ground plant parts and retard regrowth. Ultra Blazer will not kill the underground rootstocks of these
|
||
weeds.
|
||
|
||
|
||
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
|
||
Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.
|
||
Pesticide Storage: Do not store below 32ºF.
|
||
Pesticide Disposal: Pesticide wastes are acutely hazardous. Improper disposal of excess pesticide,
|
||
spray mix, or rinsate is a violation of federal law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of according to
|
||
label instructions, contact the state agency responsible for pesticide regulation or the Hazardous
|
||
Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance.
|
||
Container Handling: Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Clean container
|
||
promptly after emptying.
|
||
[for containers less than or equal to 5 gallons] Triple rinse as follows: empty the remaining contents
|
||
into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the
|
||
container ¼ full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment
|
||
or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to
|
||
drip. Repeat this procedure two more times.
|
||
[for containers greater than 5 gallons] [Triple rinse or pressure rinse as follows:
|
||
Triple rinse: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the container
|
||
¼ full with water. Replace and tighten closures. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth,
|
||
ensuring at least one complete revolution, for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, stand the container over
|
||
on its end and tip it back and forth several times. Empty the rinsate into application equipment or a mix
|
||
tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Repeat this procedure two more times.
|
||
Pressure rinse: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and continue to
|
||
drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Hold container upside down over application
|
||
equipment or mix tank or collect rinsate for later use or disposal. Insert pressure rinsing nozzle in the
|
||
side of the container, and rinse at about 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds. Drain for 10 seconds after flow
|
||
begins to drip.]
|
||
[all sizes] Then offer for recycling, if available, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by
|
||
other procedures approved by state and local authorities. If rinsate cannot be used, follow pesticide
|
||
disposal instructions. If not triple rinsed, these containers are acute hazardous wastes and must be
|
||
disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
|
||
|
||
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled:
|
||
Dike and contain the spill with inert material (sand, earth, etc.) and transfer liquid and solid diking
|
||
material to separate containers for disposal. Remove contaminated clothing, and wash affected skin
|
||
areas with soap and water. Wash clothing before re-use. Keep the spill out of all sewers and open
|
||
bodies of water.
