PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals
CAUTION: Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through skin. Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin or clothing.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
Some materials that are chemically-resistant to this product are listed below. If you want more options, follow the
instructions for category A on an EPA chemical resistance category selection chart.
Mixers and loaders must wear: Coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and long pants, chemical-resistant footwear,
chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material such as nitrile, butyl, neoprene, and/or barrier laminate,
and chemical-resistant apron.
Applicators and other (other than mixers and loaders) handlers must wear: Coveralls over long-sleeved shirt
and long pants, chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material such as nitrile, butyl, neoprene, and/or
barrier laminate, and chemical-resistant footwear.
Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use
detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
When handlers used 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 170.240 (d) (4-6)], the handler PPE re­
quirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should: 1) Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. 2) Remove
clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. 3) 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 pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water or to areas where surface water is
present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not apply where weather conditions favor drift from
areas treated. Do not contaminate water when cleaning of equipment or disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.
Ground Water Advisory: This chemical is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions
as a result of agricultural use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water
table is shallow, may result in ground water contamination.
Surface Water Advisory: Unuron may contaminate surface water through spray drift or, under certain conditions,
from surface runoff into adjacent surface water bodies (ponds, lakes, streams, etc.). For several weeks post-appli­
cation, this product has a high potential to runoff when applied to fields with any of the following conditions: sloping
land draining into nearby surface waters; very poorly to somewhat poorly drained soils; areas with extremely shallow
ground water; frequently flooded areas; fields with surface water canals or ditches; and highly erodible land cultivated
with poor management practices.
USE INFORMATION
Unuron DF Herbicide is a dispersible granule to be mixed in water and applied as a spray for selective control of
weeds in certain crops and for non-selective weed control on non-cropland areas. It is non-corrosive to equipment,
non-flammable and non-volatile.
To control susceptible weed seedlings for an extended period of time, apply this product to soil before weed emer­
gence. The degree of control and duration of effect will vary with the amount of chemical applied, soil texture, rainfall
and other conditions. Higher dosages are needed for soils high in clay or organic matter. Soil low in clay or organic
matter will require lower dosages to obtain equivalent herbicide performance. Since moisture is needed to activate
this product, rainfall or irrigation is needed within 2 weeks of application. In the Columbia River Basin, use this
product only if the crop is sprinkler irrigated.
When using this product to control emerged weeds, best results are obtained on succulent weeds growing in tem­
peratures of 70°F or higher with high humidity. Where recommended, addition of a surfactant to the spray increases
contact effects of this product.
It is suggested that growers limit their first use to small areas as the effect of this product varies with soils, uniformity
of application and environmental conditions. Follow all label directions on this and any product used in mixtures.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
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.
RESISTANCE
When herbicides that affect the same biological site of action are used repeatedly over several years to control the
same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring resistant biotypes may survive a correctly applied herbicide
treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field.
Adequate control of these resistant weed biotypes cannot be expected. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be
necessary to retreat the problem area using a product affecting a different site of action.
To better manage herbicide resistance through delaying the proliferation and possible dominance of herbicide re­
sistant weed biotypes, it may be necessary to change cultural practices within and between crop seasons such as
using a combination of tillage, retreatment, tank-mix partners and/or sequential herbicide applications that have a
different site of action. Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed will promote the spread of resistant biotypes.
It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides applied to individual fields to help obtain information on the
spread and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, applicator, and/or appropriate
state agricultural extension service representative for specific alternative cultural practices or herbicide recommen­
dations available in your area.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include biological, cul­
tural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices include field
scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population reach locally determined action
thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities
to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop systems in your area.
GRASSES AND BROADLEAF WEEDS CONTROLLED BY THIS PRODUCT
PREEMERGENCE USE (GERMINATING WEEDS)
This product at specified rates, controls annual weeds such as:
Broadleaved Weeds
Carpetweed Nettleleaf goosefoot
Chickweed Pigweed
Common dayflower Purslane (common)
Florida beggarweed Ragweed (common)
Florida purslane (Florida pusley) Shepherdspurse
Galinsoga Smartweed (Pennsylvania)
Lambsquarters Wild radish
Mustard
Grasses
8arnyardgrass (watergrass) Fall panicum
Canarygrass Foxtails (including giant)
CrabQrasses Goosegrass
This product will provide partial control of the following:
Partial Control
Annual morningglory Sickle pod
Cocklebur (common) Velvetleaf (buttonweed)
Eastern black nightshade Waterhemp
Prickly sida (teaweed)
The lower dosage rates are effective on coarser soils and the higher rates on finer soils and on the more resistant
seedling weeds. Sufficient moisture (one-half to 1 inch on moist soils; 1 to 2 inches on dry soils) in the form of rainfall
or sprinkler irrigation is necessary after treatment to carry the chemical into the root zone of germinating weeds;
best results are obtained when this occurs within two weeks after application. If heavy rainfall occurs soon after ap­
plication, injury to crop may result.
This product applied pre-emergence, before emergence of Asparagus, Carrots, Corn (field), Parsnips, Potatoes,
Soybeans and weeds, is an effective procedure because susceptible weeds are controlled in an early, vulnerable
seedling stage before they compete with the crop. With favorable moisture conditions, this product continues to con­
trol weeds for some time as the crop becomes better able to compete. Should weed seedlings begin to break through
the pre-emergence treatment in significant numbers, secondary weed control procedures should be implemented.
These include cultivation and post-emergence herbicide application.
A good seed bed must be prepared before application of this product as crop injury may result if application is made
LlNURON OF Page 3 of 12
co (
to ground which is cloddy or compacted resulting in improperly planted seed. Plant seed to depth specified. Surface
of the soil should not be cultivated or disturbed after application of this product and before emergence of the crop
as weed control may be reduced and crop injury may result. However, if moisture is insufficient to activate the her­
bicide, a shallow cultivation (rotary hoe preferred) should be made after emergence of row crops while weeds are
small enough to be controlled by mechanical means. Deep cultivation reduces the effectiveness of this product.
POST-EMERGENCE USE (Emerged Seedling Weeds): This product, at specified rates, controls weeds such as:
Broadleaved Weeds
Annual morning glory Lambsquarters
Carpetweed Mustard
Chickweed (common) Nettleleaf goosefoot
Cocklebur (common) Pigweed
Common dayflower Prickly sida (teaweed)
Common ragweed Purslane (common)
Dog fennel Sesbania
Fiddleneck (Amsinckia) Sickle pod
Florida beggarweed Smartweed, (Pennsylvania)
Florida purslane (Florida pusley) Velvetleaf (buttonweed)
Groundsel Wild buckwheat
Knawel
Grasses
Annual ryegrass Fall panicum
Barnyardgrass (watergrass) Foxtail (including giant)
Broadleaf signalgrass Goosegrass
Canarygrass Rattail fescue
Crabgrass Texas panicum
Results of post-emergence treatment of emerged weeds vary with rate applied and environmental conditions. Best
results are obtained on succulent weeds growing under conditions of high humidity and temperatures of 70°F or
higher. Addition of a surfactant such as Surf-Ac® 820 to the spray (where recommended), increases contact effects
of this product. Application will also provide control of emerging susceptible weed seedlings for an extended period
of time
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, green­
houses 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 (REI). 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 of 24 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, chemical-resistant gloves
made of any waterproof material, shoes plus socks, and chemical-resistant headgear for overhead exposure.
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. Non-crop weed control is not within the scope of
the Worker Protection Standard. Do not enter or allow unprotected persons to enter treated areas until the sprays
have dried.
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS: This product must be used only in accordance with this label. Injury to or loss of
desirable trees or other plants may result from failure to observe the following:
• Do not apply by air.
• Do not apply to sand or loamy sand.
• Do not use on soils with less than 1 % organic matter.
GROUND APPLICATION: Use a fixed-boom power sprayer calibrated to a constant speed and rate of delivery.
Openings in screen should be equal to or larger than 50 mesh. Continuous agitation in the spray tank is necessary
to keep the material in suspension. Agitation can be by hydraulic or mechanical means. If a by-pass or return line is
used, it should terminate at the bottom of the tank to minimize foaming. Avoid overlapping of spray swaths and shut
off spray booms while starting, turning, slowing or stopping or crop injury may result.
LlNURON OF Page 4 of 12
( C
For pre-emergence application, use a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre. For post-emergence application,
use sufficient volume of water (minimum of 25 gallons per acre) for thorough coverage of weed foliage. Always apply
in a manner and under conditions favorable to avoid spray drift.
CLEANING: Equipment should be cleaned of all traces of this product immediately after use. Nozzle tips and screens
should be removed and cleaned separately. Flush tank, pump, hoses and boom with several changes of water.
Equipment should not be flushed or drained, or this product applied near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas
where their roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their
roots. This product should not be used on home plantings of trees, shrubs or herbaceous plants, lawns, walks,
driveways, tennis courts or similar areas. Keep drift of dry powder or spray from desirable plants.
SPRAY PREPARATION: The tank should be one-quarter full with clean water. Start agitation system, add this prod­
uct and continue adding water. Each component of any tank mix should be added separately while adding water.
Surfactant, if used, should be added last when the tank is nearly full. Agitation should continue throughout. If poor
mixing should occur with any component, premix the component with two parts water before adding to the spray
tank.
RATES: All rates are expressed as broadcast rates. For band treatment, use proportionately less. For example, use
one-third of the broadcast rate when treating a 14 inch band where row spacing is 42 inches. Where a range of
dosages is given, use the lower rate on coarser soils (low in clay or organic matter) and the higher rate on finer soils
(high in clay or organic matter). For post-emergence application, use the lower rate on smaller weeds and the higher
rate on larger weeds. See crop sections for rates for specific crops.
REPLANTING: If initial seeding fails to produce a stand, any crop registered for the rate of this product that was ap­
plied may be replanted immediately. Thoroughly rework soil before replanting. Do not retreat field with second ap­
plication as injury to the crop may result.
CROP ROTATION DIRECTIONS:
East of the Rocky Mountains
• Any crop registered for the rate of linuron that was applied may be replanted immediately.
• Any crop may be planted after 4 months, except for cereals, where only barley, oats, rye, and wheat may be
planted.
• Cereal crops not listed above may be planted after 12 months.
West of the Rocky Mountains
• Any crop registered for the rate of linuron that was applied may be replanted immediately.
• Do not plant any other crop until 12 months after the last application of this product as crop injury may result.
FERTILIZER SPRAY MIXTURES: For pre-emergence application, non-pressure nitrogen or fertilizer solution may
be used in the spray mixture unless otherwise directed. Small quantities should be tested for compatibility by the
following procedure before full scale mixing.
1. Measure one pint of intended spray water or fertilizer solution into a jar.
2. Add in the order given the intended ingredients, shaking after each addition.
(a)Surfactants (spreaders), acidifiers, compatibility agents and activators: add 1 teaspoon for each pintl100 gal-
lons.
(b) Dry ingredients (wettable powders, dry flowables): add 1 tablespoon for each pound/100 gallons.
(c) Flowables: add 1 teaspoon for each pintl100 gallons.
(d) Soluble ingredients: add 1 tablespoon for each pound/100 gallons.
(e)Spreaders/stickers: add 1 teaspoon for each pintl100 gallons.
3. The final mixture should be uniform and smooth with no evidence of coagulation occurring. If incompatibility is
evident, begin test again with a compatibility agent added first. Six drops is equivalent to 4 ounces per 100 gallons,
If this does not smooth the mixture, try higher concentrations and other compatibility agents.
4. Allow the mixture to stand undisturbed thirty minutes. If separation occurs, shake and observe the resulting mix­
ture. If mixture is smooth, proceed with spraying, provided the tank has good agitation. If mixture is not smooth,
do not spray. You may try:
(a) more compatibility agents.
(b) different formulations of the active ingredients (switch from WP or EC to flowable or from WP to EC).
(c) change active ingredients; some combinations will not tank mix.
CHEMIGATION INSTRUCTIONS
Apply this product only through one or more of the following types of systems: sprinkler including center pivot, lateral
move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set or hand move irrigation system(s). Do not apply this
product through any other type of irrigation system.
Crop injury or lack of effectiveness or illegal pesticide residues can result from the nonuniform distribution of treated
water.
If you have any questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment man­
ufacturers 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 the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS
Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such
system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60
days out of the year.
Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, backflow
preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction.
As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system. should be discharged into the reservoir tank prior
to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe
and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow
of fluid back toward the injection pump.
The pesticide injection pipeline must 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.
The system must contain functional, interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when
the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when the water pressure decreases to the
point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effec­
tively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a
system interlock.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
When mixing, fill nurse tank half full with water. Add this product slowly to tank while hydraulic or mechanical agitation
is operating and continue filling with water. Stickers, spreaders, insecticides, nutrients, etc. should be added last. If
compatibility is in question, use the compatibility jar test before mixing a whole tank. Because of the wide variety of
possible combinations which can be encountered, observe all cautions and limitations on the label of all products
used in mixtures.
This product should be added through a traveling irrigation system continuously or at the last 30 minutes of solid
set or hand moved irrigation systems. Agitation is recommended. Shut off injection equipment after treatment and
continue to operate irrigation system until this product has been cleared from the last sprinkler head.
SPRINKLER CHEMIGATION
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.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow
of fluid back toward the injection pump.
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.
The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when
the water pump motor stops.
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.
Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump) effec­
tively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a
system interlock.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
When mixing, fill nurse tank half full with water. Add this product slowly to tank while hydraulic or mechanical agitation
is operating and continue filling with water. Stickers, spreaders, insecticides, nutrients, etc. should be added last. If

• Do not use surfactant or fertilizer solution in spray mixture.
• Do not apply within 1 day of harvest.
DIRECT SEEDED OR NEWLY PLANTED CROWNS
Pre-emergence Application: Make a single application of 2 to 4 pounds per acre after planting seed one-half inch
deep in coarse soil and 1 inch deep in fine soils. During planting operation, spray activated charcoal as a 1 inch
band on soil surface directly over seed rows at the rate of 300 pounds per acre (equivalent to 15 pounds per acre
of crop with 20 inch row spacing). Pre-emergence weed control will be reduced in soils with high organic matter
(greater than 5% and peat or muck).
Post-emergence Application: Make 1 or 2 applications of 1 to 2 pounds per acre when ferns are in 6 inches to 18
inches stage and weeds are not over 4 inches tall.
ESTABLISHED BEDS
Pre-emergence Application: Make a single application of 2 to 4 pounds per acre. Pre-emergence weed control
will be reduced in soils with high organic matter (greater than 5% and peat or muck.)
Post-emergence Application: Make 1 to 3 applications of 1 to 2 pounds per acre before weeds exceed 4 inches
in height. Apply before cutting season or immediately after cutting.
Directed Post-emergence Application (Fern Stage): Make a single application of 4 pounds per acre as directed.
Spray to base of plants for control of Dudain melon. In California, Dudain melon and annual Nightshade are con­
trolled.
BULBS-Tulip, Caladium, Calla Lily, Daffodil and Dutch Iris (California, Florida)
After planting of bulbs, settle the soil with sprinkler irrigation (rainfall will serve the same purpose). Before emergence
of plants (bulbs), apply 2 pounds of this product per acre in a minimum of 20 gallons of water per acre. Treat only
once during growing season.
CARROTS
Because Carrot varieties vary in their resistance, determine tolerance to this product prior to adoption as a field
practice to prevent possible crop injury.
• Do not exceed 4 pounds of this product per acre per year East of Rocky Mountains.
• Do not exceed 3 pounds of this product per acre per year West of Rocky Mountains.
• Do not apply within 14 days of harvest.
Pre-emergence Application-California, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey,
North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin only
Make a single application of 1 to 2 pounds per acre in California, Florida, Minnesota, North Dakota, Oregon and
Washington, and 1 to 3 pounds per acre in Colorado, Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, and Wisconsin, after planting but
prior to Carrots emergence. Plant seed at least one-half inch deep. Use the lower rate on lighter soils and higher
rate on heavier soils. Subsequent post-emergence application may be made provided the total does not exceed the
seasonal maximum for the geography.
Post-emergence Application-Entire U.S.:
Apply 1.5 to 3 pounds per acre as a broadcast spray.
Applications to Carrots that are less than 3 inches tall may result in crop injury; grower and/or applicator assumes
all crop injury risk if applications are made to Carrots less than 3 inches tall. Repeat application may be made as
long as the total use does not exceed the seasonal maximum of this product for the geography.
Post-emergence Application-Alternate Treatment for New York: For control of emerged broadleaf weeds early
in the development of the Carrot crop, apply 0.25 pound per acre to Carrots having at least one fully developed true
leaf and 0.5 pound per acre to Carrots having three or more leaves. A single application applied prior to the 5-leaf
stage of Carrots may not provide adequate season-long control. Multiple applications at 1- and 3-, and 2- and 4-, or
3- and 5-leaf stages will significantly improve weed control. Early crop injury can occur; however the effect should
be transitory, with no yield losses attributable to crop injury. At normal rate, Carrots must be at least 3 inches tall at
the time of application. Failure to control weeds before this stage of development will result in significant yield losses
due to weed competition.
Crop Rotation-California
Following this product use in Carrots grown to maturity, Barley, Garlic, and Onions may be planted after 6 months
and Potatoes after 9 months.
Precautions for Postemergence Carrot Applications:
• Do not treat susceptible varieties which show an initial burning of foliage following postemergence treatment with
this product.
• Do not exceed 40 psi spray nozzle pressure as crop injury may result.
• Do not apply when temperature exceeds 85°F as crop injury may result.

Directed Postemergence Application: Make a single application as a directed spray after Corn is at least 15 inches
high (measured to the highest leaf surface on free standing plants). Do not spray over top of Corn. Apply only when
there is sufficient differential between height of Corn and weeds so that the directed spray thoroughly covers all
weed foliage without contact of upper leaves or whorl of Corn by spray or drift, as such contact may cause crop
injury. Early cultivation (rotary hoe or other suitable equipment) will aid in achieving proper differential between height
of Corn and weeds.
Use 1.25 to 1.5 pounds per acre; add 1 pint of surfactant for each 25 gallons of spray mixture.
Non-pressure nitrogen solution may be substituted for all or part of the water.
Use the lower rate on lighter soils (lOW in clay or organic matter) and when weeds do not exceed 2 inches in height;
use the higher rate on heavier soil (high in clay or organic matter) for weeds up to 5 inches in height. Do not apply
within 57 days of harvest.

NONCROP WEED CONTROL
Apply 2 to 6 pounds of this product per acre in 40 to 100 gallons of water for short term control of annual weeds on
noncropland areas such as roadsides and fence rows. Apply shortly before weed growth begins or at early seedling
stage of growth for best results. Add 2 quarts of Surf-Ac 820 per 100 gallons of spray mixture for control of established
weeds. Apply as a thorough coverage spray during periods when daily temperatures exceed 70°F and before weed
growth exceeds 8 inches in height.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator
is responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions.
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.
Importance of Droplet Size
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management
strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of sensitive
species nearby, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an applicator balances drift control
and coverage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS REDUCES DRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT WILL NOT PREVENT DRIFT
IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS!
See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions sections of this label.
Controlling Droplet Size - General Techniques
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows
produce larger droplets.
• Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size
and does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER-CA­
PACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE.
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower
spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles.
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage.
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to the airstream will pro­
duce larger droplets than other orientations.
• Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with swirl plate removed) oriented stright back produce
LlNURON DF Page 11 of 12
(
larger droplets than other nozzle types.
(
• Boom Length - The boom length should not exceed three-fourth of the wing or rotor length - longer booms in-
crease drift potential.
• Application Height - Application more than 10ft. above the canopy increases the potential for spray drift.
Boom Height
Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure
of droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have
minimal bounce.
Wind
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) of more than 10 mph. However,
many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID
GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how
they 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 ponentiaL 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 into 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) indicated 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 ap­
plicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.
