DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
It is a violation of Federal law to use this produot in a manner inconsistent 
with its labeling. 
RE-EIITRY STATEHENT 
Do not apply this product in such a manner as to directly or through drift 
expose workers or other persons. The area being treated must be vacated by

various crops treated with this product, oonsult your State Department of 
Agriculture for further information. 
Written or oral warnings must be given to workers who are expected to be in a 
treated area or in an area about to be treated with this produot. The 
PRECAUTIOIIARY STATEI-lEUTS shOUld be read to workers as well sa the instruotion

Apply when weather is warm and plants are rapidly growing. Cold weather or dry ) 
oonditions may cause poor results. DO Nor apply if rain is expected within two 
hours. 
Consult your Extension Service or Agricultural Experiment Station for local use 
and crop tolerance situations. 
This product may be applied as a water, 011, or adjuvant based sp.ray. Use 
coarse sprays to minimize drift. DO Nor apply where spray may come in contact 
with any desirable plants or susceptible crops other than those listed on this 
label. 
DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system. 
When using ground eqUipment, keep boom or nozzles close to crop, apply 20 
gallons or more of spray per acre using flooding or flat fan nozzles with 20 
pounds or less of pressure. If wind exceeds 7 miles per hour, sprayinE should 
stop. DO Nor apply with hollow cone or any other mist producing nozzle. 
When using aerial eqUipment, apply a minimum of 3 to 5 gallons of spray per acre 
at 20 pounds or less nozzle pressure using nozzles that produoe a ooarse spray 
pattern. Spray only when wind is blowing less than 5 miles per hour. 
Apply the recommended amount of 2,4-D per acre regardless of the amount of 
diluent used. 
Applicatioa by any !Deana should take place only vbea there is ao danger :cit' ~pra": . :

NITROGEN FERTILIZER -- The compatability of this product must be tested with the 
fertilizer before its use· in application· equipment. This is done by means of a 
quart jar test as follows: The amount of this product to add to one pint of 
liquid nitroge~ fertilizer is determined by using this table --

The amount in the table is based on gallons of finished spray per aore. 
Different spray volumes will require appropriate changes in the amount of this 
product added to one pint of fertilizer. Actd the required amount of this 
product to one pint of fertilizer in a quart jar and shake to mix well. Let the 
mixtl!re stand and examine it after 5 minutes and again after 30 minutes. The 
product is incompatible if it balls up, forms flakes, sludges, gels, oily films, 
layers, or other precipitates. If the precipitate can be suspended with / 
agitation the oombination can be used if the equipment has vigorous agitation 
throughout mixing and spraying operations. 
In some cases, when incompatibility occurs, the addition of 1/4 teaspoon of a 
oompatibility agent to the jar before adding this product ~ay solve the problem 
(1/4 teaspoon is equal to 2 pints per 100 gallons of fertilizer). IF THIS DOES 
1I0T WORK, DO NOT ATTEMPT THE ADDITION OF THIS PRODUCT TO THE FERTILIZER. 
-- Fertilizer Mixing Sequenoe: Add this product to liquid fertilizer for weed 
and feed applications at the rates specified on this label. Fill the equipment 
half full of fertilizer, make a pre-mix of 1 part this product and 4 parts water 
and add to fertilizer with agitation 011. Tilen add balance of fertilizer and 
apply immediately with agitation ON. DO Il0T leave spray mixture in tank 
overnight. 
CORM -- Use the lower rate for small annual weeds. Use the higher rate for 
perennial or hard to kill weeds. To avoid injury, do not use with atrazine, 
oil, or other adjuvants. --Preemergenoe: Appl!,' 1 1/3 - 2 213 pints pel' aore 
after planting but before corn emerges. DO Il0T apply to sandy so11s. 
--Emergence: Apply 2/3 pint per acre just as corn plants are breaking ground. 
--rostemergenoe: Apply 1/3 pint per lcre after oorn is up. If oorn is ove~ 8 
inohes tall, use drop nozzles to !reep spray off oorn foliage as much all 
possible. 2/3 pint per acre may be needed to control some weeds, but this rate 
may injure the corn. DO !lOT apply from tasseling to dough stage. DO !lOT apply 
to open whorls. High m~isture and temperature oonditions may cause injury or 
brittleness. DO llOT cultivate for a week to 10 days after treatment. 
--Late Season Weed Control (To reduce weeds that interfere with harvest and 
reduce weed seed production): After silks are completely brown apply ,3/1 - 1:":': 
1/3 pints per acre. ,.. : .... :

SHALL GRAINS (!lot underseeded with a legume) -- 1I0TE: Do not let dairy animals"", 
or animals being finished for slaughter forage or graze treated fields within 2,,: ,,' 
weeks after treat~ent. Use the lower dose rate for small annual or biannual 
weeds. Use the higher dose rate for perennial or hard J kill weeds. ":' ...... , , 
--Spring I1heat, Barley, and Rye: Apply 1/3 pint per _~re when grain is ,~n, full 
tiller stage (4 to 8 inohes high) but before dough stage when weeds ane'small":":

--Winter Wheat and Rye: Apply 113 - 1/2 pint per acre only in spring before 
grain is in boot to doueh stage. 
--Spring-seeded Oats: Apply 1/3 - 1/2 pint per acre at full tiller, but before 
early dough staee. 
--Fall-seeded Oats Orown For Ora in (Southern): Apply 1/2 - 1 pint per acre at 
full tiller, but before early doUSh. stage. Difficult weeds may require hisher 
rate, but some injury may occur since oats are less tolerant to 2,4-D than wheat 
or barley. DO flot spray durilll: or just after cold Weather. 
--Preharvest Treatment: Apply 2/3 - 1 1/3 pints per acre when grain is in hard 
dough stage to control weeds that ~ill interfere with harvest. Apply when soil 
moisture is p,dequate for weed growth for best results. IIOTE: DO 1I0T feed 
treated otraw to livestook. 
MILO (ORAIII SOnOHllH) - MOTE: Some varieties and ~.ybrids are 2,1I-D sensitive. 
Crop injury may also be increased by high moisture and temperature conditions. 
Check with your seed cocpany and Ex.tension Service for advice. Apply 1/3 pint 
per acre when plants are 5 to 15 in.ches tall. A higher rate of 1/2 - 2/3 pint 
per ~~"e may be needed for some we£ds, but chances of crop injury may increase. 
DO IIOT use oil. DO IIOT treat crop less than 5 inches tall or from boot to early 
dough stage. Use drop nozzles when crop is over 8 inches tall.
