PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
ALL mixers, loaders, applicators, flaggers and other handlers must wear: 
x Protective eyewear (goggles, face shield, or safety glasses).
x Long-sleeved shirt and long pants.
x Shoes plus socks.
x Waterproof gloves. 
x Chemical-resistant apron for mixing, loading, cleaning up spills or equipment, or otherwise exposed to the concentrate.
See engineering controls for additional requirements.
Discard clothing or other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this product's concentrate. 
Do not reuse them. Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning or maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables
exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. After each day’s use, clothing or PPE 
must not be reused until it has been cleaned.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS STATEMENT
Pilots must use an enclosed cockpit that meets the requirements listed in the WPS for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 
170.240(d)(6)].
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft, in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker 
Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 1 70.240 (d) (4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be 
reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should:
- Wash hands after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet.
- Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. If pesticide gets 
on skin, wash immediately with soap and water.
- Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, 
wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This product may be toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. For terrestrial uses: Do not apply directly to water, to areas where 
surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark except as noted elsewhere on this label. Drift 
and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic invertebrates and non-targ et plants in water adjacent to treated areas. Do not 
contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.
For aquatic uses: Fish breathe dissolved oxygen in the water and decaying weeds also use oxygen. When treating 
continuous, dense weed masses, it may be appropriate to treat only part of the infestation at a time. For example, apply the 
product in lanes separated by untreated strips that can be treated after vegetation in treated lanes has disintegrated. During
the growing season, weeds decompose in a 2 to 3 week period fol lowing treatment. Begin treatment along the shore and 
proceed outwards in bands to allow fish to move into untreated areas. Waters having limited and less dense weed infestations 
may not require partial treatments.
This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. The use of this chemical 
in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination. 
Application around a cistern or well may result in contamination of drinking water or groundwater.
Most cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy herbicide such as 2,4-D have been associated with mixing/loading 
and disposal sites. Caution should be exercised when handling 2 ,4-D pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of 
groundwater supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing and tran sferring this pesticide will reduce the probability of spills. 
Placement of mixing/loading equipment on an impervious pad to contain spills will help prevent groundwater contamination.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its label. 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.
Use of this product in certain portions of California, Oregon and Washington is subject to the January 22, 2004 Order for 
injunctive relief in Washington Toxics Coalition, et al. v. EPA, C01-0132C, (W.D. WA). For further information, please 
refer to EPA Web Site: http://www.epa.gov/espp.
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 statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE)
and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box appl y only to those 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 48 hours.
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.
- Waterproof gloves. 
- Shoes plus socks.
- Protective eyewear (goggles, face shield, or safety glasses).
NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard for
agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, 
forests, nurseries, or greenhouses.
Do not enter or allow people (or pets) to enter the treated area until sprays have dried.
USE DIRECTIONS
Unless noted otherwise under individual DIRECTIONS section, for aerial application, apply the specified amount in a minimum 
of 2 gallons of water per acre. For ground application, apply the specified amount in a minimum of 5 gallons of water per acre. 
Use more water for both methods when adverse growing conditions are present.
Band Treatment: If only bands or rows are treated, leaving middles untreated, the dosage and spray volume per crop acre are
reduced proportionately. For example, treating a 12-inch band where the row spacing is 36 inches would require 1/3 of the 
specified broadcast rate per acre (12 inches divided by 36 inches = 1/3).

Restrictions For All Uses:
DO NOT apply with high spray pressures, hollow cone or other nozzle types that produce small spray droplets which may drift. 
Avoid spray drift by making applications when conditions such as wind, air stability and temperature inversions are not a factor. 
The use of a suitable drift control agent at the proper rate will aid in the reduction of spray drift. Apply when weather is warm 
and plants are rapidly growing. Cold weather or dry conditions may cause poor results. DO NOT apply if rain is expected within 
6 hours. Consult your local agronomist or Extension specialist for specific use and crop tolerance situations. Do not apply this 
product through any type of irrigation system.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
For resistance management, this product is a Group 4 herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally 
resistant to this product and other Group 4 herbicides. The resi stant 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: 
x Rotate the use of this product or other Group 4 herbicides withi n a growing season sequence or among growing 
seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
x 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.
x Adopt an integrated weed-management program for herbicide use t hat 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.
x 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 applies, 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 c ontrolled 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.
x 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.
x Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors , and/or Winfield Solutions, LLC representative for 
herbicide resistance management and/or integrated weed managemen t recommendations for specific crops and 
resistant weed biotypes. 
x For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact your Winfield Solutions, LLC representative.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind d irection, wind speed, temperature, and 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 sprays 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.
Wind Speed
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, r esidential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for non-target 
species, non-target crops) within 250 feet downwind. 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.

5
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. Susc eptible 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 ma intained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or 
surrogates.
Additional requirements for aerial applications:
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.
Additional requirements for ground boom application:
Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy.

Resistant Weeds: This product will not provide adequate control of known resistant weeds. For a list of these weeds in your 
area, check with your local agronomist, university or extension service.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
WATER BASED SPRAY: Fill the equipment half full of water, agitate while adding this product; then add the rest of the water. 
COMPATIBILITY: Before full-scale mixing of this product with other herbicides, fertilizer solutions and adjuvants, it is 
advisable to determine the compatibility of the proposed mixture. Use proportionate quantities of each ingredient and mix 
in a small container. Always mix one product thoroughly with the diluent before adding another product. If no 
incompatibility is evident after 30 minutes, the mixture is generally compatible for spraying.
NITROGEN FERTILIZER: Weed and feed applications for corn, small grains, grasses grow n for seed or grass pastures 
according to label use rates. - Add half the fertilizer to the tank, and then add the specified label amount of RUGGED Herbicide
per acre. Agitate constantly and vigorously and finish filling the spray tank with fertilizer. Apply as soon as possible, agitating 
constantly. Do not hold spray mixture overnight. If incompatibility is a problem, the use of a compatibility agent at the specified
label rate may correct the problem. Fertilize according to the recommendations of your supplier or your Extension specialist. 
Herbicide foliage contact burning may occur as a result of fertilizer use. Lower use rates and concentrations will reduce this 
problem.
ADJUVANTS FOR PREEMERGENCE AND PREPLANT APPLICATIONS: A non-ionic surfactant, high surfactant oil 
concentrate, or a crop oil concentrate may be added to the spray solution when this product is applied preemergence or 
preplant to increase control of large or difficult to control weeds. Crop oil concentrates must contain at least 17% emulsifier, 
and should be used at 1% volume/volume (1 gallon per 100 gallons of spray solution). Non-ionic surfactants should be used at 
a 0.25% volume/volume (1 quart per 100 gallons of spray solution). High surfactant oil concentrates must contain at least 25% 
emulsifier and should be used at least at 0.5% v/v (minimum 1 pt. per acre). Wash spray equipment thoroughly after using this 
product. When cleaning, do not pour washwater on the ground: spray or drain over a large area away from wells or other water 
sources. Apply the specified amount of RUGGED Herbicide per acre reg ardless of the amount of diluent used.
When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, Winfield Solutions, LLC recommends the use of a Council of Producers 
and Distributors of Agrotechnology certified adjuvant.
TANK MIXES
Unless otherwise prohibited on this label or the label of an in tended tank mix product, this product may be applied in 
combination with any herbicide registered for the same crop, ti ming, and method of application. It is the pesticide user’s 
responsibility to ensure that all products used in tank mixtures are registered for the intended use. Users must follow the most 
restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. LIABILITY FOR CROP INJURY 
RESULTING FROM A TANK MIXTURE NOT SPECIFIED ON THIS LABEL OR SUPPLEMENTAL LABELING DISTRIBUTED 
FOR RUGGED HERBICIDE IS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMED BY WINFIELD SOLUTIONS, LLC.
RUGGED Herbicide + glyphosate (various formulations) may be use d on all approved crops, use sites and use patterns, 
approved on both labels.
PLANTING IN TREATED AREAS
Labeled Crops: Within 29 days following an application of this product, plant only those crops named as use sites on this or 
other registered 2,4-D labels. Follow more specific limitations, if any, provided in the directions for individual crops. Labeled 
crops may be at risk for crop injury or loss when planted soon after application, especially in the first 14 days. Degradation
factors described below should be considered in weighing this risk.
Other Crops: All other crops may be planted 30 or more days following an application without concern for illegal residues in 
the planted crop. However, under certain conditions, there may be a risk of injury to susceptible crops. Degradation factors 
described below should be considered in weighing this risk. Under normal conditions, any crop may be planted without risk of
injury if at least 90 days of soil temperatures above freezing have elapsed since application.
Degradation Factors: When planting into treated areas, the risk of crop injury is less if lower rates of product were applied 
and conditions following application have included warm, moist soil conditions that favor rapid degradation of 2,4-D. Risk is 
greater if higher rates of product were applied and soil temperatures have been cold and/or soils have been excessively wet or 
dry in the days following application. Consult your local Agricultural Extension Service for information about susceptible crops 
and typical soil conditions in your area.

7
Precautions for Planting Cotton: Following application of RUGGED Herbicide and following a minimum of 1” rainfall or 
irrigation in a 24 hr. period, wait an interval of 30 days prior to planting cotton. Failure to observe these precautions may result 
in injury to cotton.

Maximum of 4.5 pts. (2 lbs. ae) per acre per application.
Minimum of 30 days between applications. Spot treatment permitted. 
Do not use on small canals with a flow rate less than 10 cubic feet per second (CFS) where water will be used for drinking 
purposes. CFS may be estimated by using the formula below. The approximate velocity needed for the calculation can be 
determined by observing the length of time that it takes a floating object to travel a defined distance. Divide the distance (ft.) 
by the time (sec.) to estimate velocity (ft. per sec.). Repeat 3 times and use the average to calculate CFS.
Average Width (ft.) x Average Depth (ft.) x Average Velocity (ft. per sec.) = CFS
SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS
Low pressure (10 to 40 PSI) power spray equipment should be used and mounted on a truck, tractor, or boat. Apply while 
traveling upstream to avoid accidental concentration of chemical into water. 
Spray when air is calm, 5 mph or less. 
For Ditch Bank Weeds: Do not spray cross-stream to opposite bank. Do not allow boom spray to be directed onto water.
For Shoreline Weeds: Allow no more than 2 foot overspray onto water.

Surface Application 2
to 
4.2 quarts
Apply in 50 to 100 gallons of water per acre. Use power sprayer s operated 
with a boom or spray gun mounted on a boat, tractor or truck. Spray to wet 
foliage thoroughly. Application should be made when leaves are fully 
developed, above water line and plants are actively growing. Avoid spray drift 
to sensitive crops with low pressure and large nozzles or by using drift control 
or thickening agents. The maximum rate may be needed for mature plants or 
dense growth.
Aerial Application 1 gallon Apply in 5 to 15 gallons of water to cover one surface acre. Use drift control 
agents in the spray solution. Apply through standard boom systems with a 
minimum of 5 gallons of spray mix per acre.
SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS
Do not apply to more than 1/3 to 1/2 of the water area in any one month because excessive decaying vegetation may deplete 
oxygen content of water and kill fish. Waters having limited and less dense weed infestations may not require partial 
treatments. Other local factors such as water exchange and sedim ent load can also influence the dissolved oxygen level. 
Begin treatments along the shore and proceed outwards in bands to allow fish to move into untreated areas. For large bodies 
of weed infested waters, leave buffer strips of at least 100 feet wide and delay treatment of these strips for 4 to 5 weeks or until 
the dead vegetation has decomposed. Repeat as necessary to kill regrowth and plants missed in previous application.
RESTRICTIONS FOR SURFACE APPLICATIONS TO EMERGENT AQUATIC WEEDS:

A. Consult with appropriate state or local water authorities bef ore applying this product to public waters. State or local 
agencies may require permits.
The potable water use restrictions on this label are to ensure that consumption of water by the public is allowed only 
when the concentration of 2,4-D in the water is less than the M CL (Maximum Contaminant Level) of 70 ppb. 
Applicators should consider the unique characteristics of the treated waters to assure that 2,4-D concentrations in 
potable water do not exceed 70 ppb at the time of consumption.
B. For floating and emergent weed applications, the drinking water setback distance from functioning potable water 
intakes is •600 ft.
C. ,IQRVHWEDFNGLVWDQFHRI•IWLVXVHGIRUWKHDSSOLFDWLRQapplicators or the authorizing organization must provide 
a drinking water notification prior to a 2,4-D application to th e party responsible for a public water supply or to 
individual private water users. Notification to the party responsible for a public water supply or to individual private 
water users must be done in a manner to assure that the party is aware of a water use restrictions when this product 
is applied to potable water.
The following is an example of an example of notification via posting, but other methods of notification which convey 
the above restrictions may be used and may be required in some cases under state or local law or as a condition of 
a permit. 
Example:
Posting notification should be located every 250 feet including the shoreline of the treated area and up to 250 feet of 
shoreline past the application site to include immediate public access points. Posting must include the day and time 
of application. Posting may be removed if analysis of a sample collected at the intake 3 or more days following 
application shows that the concentration in the water is less than 70 ppb (100 ppb for irrigation or sprays), or after 7 
days following application, whichever occurs first.
Text of notification: Wait 7 days before diverting functioning surface water intakes from the treated aquatic site to 
use as drinking water, irrigation, or sprays, unless water at functioning drinking water intakes is tested at least 3 days
after application and is demonstrated by assay to contain not m ore than 70 ppb 2,4-D (100 ppb for irrigation or 
sprays). 
Application Date: ______ Time: _____ .
D. Following each application of this product, treated water must not be used for drinking water unless one of the 
following restrictions has been observed:
i. A setback distance from functional water intake(s) of •600 ft. was used for the application, or,

19
ii. A waiting period of at least 7 days from the time of applica tion has elapsed, or,
iii. An approved assay indicates that the 2,4-D concentration is 70 ppb (0.07 ppm) or less at the water intake. 
Sampling for drinking water analysis should occur no sooner than 3 days after 2,4-D application. Analysis of 
samples must be completed by a laboratory that is certified unde r the Safe Drinking Water Act to perform 
drinking water analysis using a currently approved version of a nalytical Method Number 515, 555, other 
methods for 2,4-D as may be listed in Title 40CFR, Part 141.24, or Method Number 4015 (immunoassay of 2,4-
D) from U.S. EPA Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste SW-846.
E. Note: Existing potable water intakes that are no longer in use, such as those replaced by a connection to a municipal 
water system or a potable water well, are not considered to be functioning potable water intakes.
F. Drinking water setback distances do not apply to terrestrial ap plications of 2,4-D adjacent to water bodies with 
potable water intakes.
3. There are no restrictions on using water from treated areas for swimming, fishing, waterin g livestock or domestic 
purposes.

DIRECTIONS
Submerged 
aquatic 
weeds, 
including 
Eurasian 
Water Milfoil
2-1/2 to 2-3/4 gallons Application Timing: For best results, apply in spring or early summer when weeds 
start to grow. This timing can be checked by sampling the lake bottom in areas 
heavily infested with weeds the previous year. A second application may be needed 
when weeds show signs of recovery, but no later than mid August in most areas. 
Subsurface Application: Apply RUGGED Herbicide undiluted directly to water 
through a boat mounted distribution system. Shoreline areas should be treated by 
subsurface injection application by boat to avoid aerial drift. 
Surface Application: Use power operated boat mounted boom sprayer. If rate is 
less than 5 gallons per acre, dilute to a minimum spray volume of 5 gallons per 
surface area. 
Aerial Application: Use drift control spray equipment or thickening agents mixed 
with sprays to reduce drift. Apply through standard boom system s in a minimum 
spray volume of 5 gallons per surface acre. For Microfoil® drif t control spray 
systems, apply RUGGED Herbicide in a total spray volume of 12 to 15 gallons per 
acre. 
Apply to attain a concentration of 2 to 4 ppm (see Table 1 below.)
Dissolved Oxygen Rations: Fish require oxygen dissolved in water for life processes and a favorable water-oxygen ration 
must be maintained. Decaying weeds use up dissolved oxygen in water. Fish kill resulting from decaying plant material can be 
prevented by:
1. Treating the entire area when the weed mass is sparse and the rate of decomposition will not be sufficient to disturb the
water-oxygen ratio: or
2. If application is delayed until there is a dense weed mass, treat no more than one-half of a lake or pond at one time. For 
large bodies of weed-infested water, apply product in lanes, leaving buffers strips at least 100 feet wide which can be treated in 
4 to 5 weeks or when vegetation in treated lanes has decomposed. During the growing season, decomposition of treated strips 
will usually occur in 2 to 3 weeks.
