Page 2 of 33 PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals DANGER: Corrosive. Causes irreversible eye damage. Harmful if swallowed. Do not get in eyes or on clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or spray mist. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) All mixers, loaders, flaggers, other applicators and handlers must wear: Long-sleeved shirt and long pants, shoes plus socks, chemical-resistant gloves such as barrier laminate, butyl rubber > 14 mils, nitrile rubber > 14 mils or viton > 14 mils, protective eyewear (goggles, safety glasses or face shield), and chemical-resistant apron when mixing or loading, cleaning up spills or equipment, or otherwise exposed to the concentrate. See Engineering Controls for additional requirements. 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. After each day of use, clothing or PPE must not be reused until it has been cleaned. ENGINEERING CONTROLS When handlers use enclosed cabs or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultura l pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4- 6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS. Pilots must use an enclosed cockpit that meets the requirements listed in the WPS for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(6)]. USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Users should: 1) Wash hands thoroughly before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet. 2) Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pest icide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. If pesticide gets on skin, wash immediately with soap and water. 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 aqua tic invertebrates. For terrestrial uses, do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present or to intertida l areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas and nontarget plants. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate. 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. Applicatio n around a cistern or well may result in contamination of drinking water or groundwater. Aquatic Weed Control: 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 following 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. Do not contaminate water used for irrigation or domestic purposes (except as directed on this label) especially in areas where Cotton, Grapes, Tomatoes or other susceptible plants are grown. Do not treat irrigation ditches in areas where water will be used to overhead (sprinkler) irrigate susceptible crops especially Cotton, Grapes, Tobacco and Tomatoes. Do not apply this product directly to , or permit to drift onto Cotton, Flowers, Fruit trees, Grapes, Okra, Tomatoes, Vegetables or other desirable plants which are susceptible to 2,4-D. Do not apply near susceptible plants since very small quantities of 2,4-D will cause severe injury during the growing or dormant periods. Crops contacted by sprays or spray drift of this product may be killed or suffer significant stand loss with extensive quality and yield reduction. Mixing and Loading: Most cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy herbicides such as 2,4-D have been associated with mixing/loading and dispos al sites. Exercise precautions when handling 2,4-D pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of ground water supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing or transferring this pesticide will reduce the probability of spills. Placement of the mixing/loading equipment on an impervious pad to contain spills will help prevent groundwater contamination.
Page 3 of 33 WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 2,4-D GROUP 4 HERBICIDE For resistance management, this product is a Group 4 mode of action herbicide. Any weed population may contain or develop plants naturally resistant to this product and other Group 4 mode of action herbicides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed. To delay herbicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: xRotate the use of this product or other Group 4 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among growing seasons with different herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field. xUse tank-mixtures with herbicides from a different gro up 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 resi stance-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. xAdopt 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-compet itive crops or varieties) and other management practices. xScout after herbicide application to monitor weed popu lations 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 sp ecies; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled individuals of the same species. If resistance is suspec ted, 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. xIf a weed pest population continues to progress after tr eatment with this product, discontinue use of this product, and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different mode of action, if available. xContact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for additional pesticide resistance- management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific crops and weed biotypes. xFor further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Drexel Chemical Company representatives at (901) 774-4370.

Page 4 of 33 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 (WPS) for agricultural pestici des (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries or greenhouses. Entry Restrictions for Non-WPS Uses: When this product is applied in the rangeland and established pastures not harvested for hay or seed; non-cropland areas, when tree injection method only in forest sites, and when applied in aquatic areas, do not enter or allow people (other than applicator) or pets on treatment area during application. Do not enter treated areas until sprays have dried. USE INFORMATION DE-AMINE 4 is a herbicide that contains 2,4-D Dimethylamine salt active ingredient. It is intended for selective control of many broadleaf weeds in the various sites listed on this label. Apply this product as a water or oil-water spray during warm weather when target weeds or woody plants are actively growing. Application under drought conditions will often give poor results. Use low spray pressure to minimize drift. Generally, the lower dosages specified on this label will be satisfactory for young, succulent growth of susceptible weed species. For less susceptible species and under conditions where control is more difficult, use the higher specified rates. Deep-rooted perennials such as Canada thistle and Field bindweed and many woody plants usually require repeated applicat ions for satisfactory control. Consult your State Agricultural Experiment stations or Extension Service Weed Specialist for recommendations from this label that best fit local conditions. USE PRECAUTIONS xExcessive amounts of 2,4-D in the soil may inhibit seed germination and plant growth temporarily. USE RESTRICTIONS xDO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system. xUse 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. W.A.). For further information, please refer to EPA website: http://www.epa.gov/espp/litstatus/wtc/index.htm. SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind direction, wind speed, temperature, 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 acti ve 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 (ASAEstandard 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, residentia l 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.
Page 5 of 33 Susceptible Plants Do not apply under circumstances where spray drift may occu r to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, us e or consumption. Susceptible crops include, but are not limited to Cotton, Okra, flowers, fruit trees, Grapes (in growing stag e), fruit trees (foliage), Soybeans (vegetative stage), Ornamentals, Sunflowers, Tomatoes , Beans, and other vegetables or Tobacco. Small amounts of spray drift that may 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 maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or surrogates. Aerial Application 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 effica cy 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. W hen 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. Ground Boom Application Groundboom: Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy. Handguns and Boomless Nozzles: Applications for Rights-of-way vegetation management are best applied with specialized nozzles delivering a coarse or very coarse spray volume. MIXING Mix this product only with water, unless otherwise directed on this label. Add about half the water to the mixing tank, then, add this product with agitation, and finally the rest of the water with continuing agitation. Note: Adding oil, wetting agent, or other surfactant to the spray mixture may increase effectiveness on weeds, but also may reduce selectivity to crops resulting in crop damage. Tank-mixing When tank-mixing, read and follow the label of each tank-mix product used for precautionary statements, directions for use, weeds controlled, and geographic and other restrictions. Use in accordance with the most restrictive of label limitat ions and precautions. No label dosages should be exceeded. Do not tank-mix this product with any product containing a label prohibition against tank-mixing with 2,4-D. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank-mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank-mixture. Tank-mix Compatibility Testing If compatibility with the tank-mix product is not known, perform a jar test prior to tank-mixing to ensure compatibility of this product and other pesticides. Use a clear glass quart jar with lid and mix the tank-mix ingredients in their relative proportions. Invert the jar containing the mixture several times and observe the mixture for approximately one-half hour. If the mixture balls-up, jells, forms flakes, sludge, oily films or layers, or other precipitates, it is not compatible and the tank-mix combination should not be used. Mixing With Liquid Fertilizer This product may be combined with liquid nitrogen fertilizer suitable for foliar application to accomplish broadleaf weed control and fertilization of Corn, small grains or Pastures in a single operation. Use this product in accordance with directions for these crops provided in this label. Use liquid fertilizer at rates specified by the supplier or Extension Service Specialist. Test for mixing compatibility as describe above before mixing in spray tank. A compatibility aid such as Mix TM, Unite or Compex may be needed in some situations. Compatibility is best with liquid fertilizer solutions containing only nitrogen. Mixing with N-P-K solutions may not be satisfactory, even with the addition of a
Page 6 of 33 compatibility aid. Premixing 1 part this product with up to 4 parts water may help in situations when mixing difficulty occurs. Fill the tank about half full with the liquid fertilizer, then add the required amount of this product with agitation. Maintain agitation and complete filling the tank with liquid fertilizer. Apply immediately and continue agitation in spray tank during application. Do not store the spray mixture. Application during very cold weather (near freezing) is not advisable. SPRAYER CLEAN-OUT To avoid injury to desirable plants, equipment used to apply this product should be thoroughly cleaned before re-use or applying other chemicals.
- Rinse and flush application equipment thoroughly afte r use at least three times with water. Dispose of all rinse water by application to treatment area or apply to non-cropland area away from water supplies.
- During the second rinse, add 1 quart of household ammonia for every 25 gallons of water. Circulate the solution through the entire system so that all internal surfaces are contacted (15 to 20 minutes). Let the solution stand for several hours, preferably overnight.
- Flush the solution out of the spray tank through the boom.
- Rinse the system twice with clean water, recirculating and draining each time.
- Remove nozzles and screens and clean separately.
- If equipment is to be used to apply another pesticide or agricultural chemical to a 2,4-D susceptible crop, additional steps may be required to remove all traces of 2,4-D, including cleaning of disassembled parts and replacement of hoses or other fittings that may contain absorbed 2,4-D. APPLICATION Apply with calibrated air or ground equipment using sufficient spray volume to provide adequate coverage of target weeds or as otherwise directed in specific use directions. For broadcast application, use a spray volume of 1 or more gallons per acre by air and 5 or more gallons per acre for ground equipment unless otherwise specified. Where states have regulations which specify minimum spray volumes, they should be observed. In general, spray volume should be increased as crop canopy, height and weed density increase in order to obtain adequate spray coverage. RANGE OF RATES AND APPLICATION TIMING Generally, the lower dosages given will be satisfactory for young, succulent growth of sensitive weed species. For less sensitive species and under conditions where control is more difficult, the higher dosages will be needed. Apply this product during warm weather when weeds are young and actively growing. SPOT TREATMENT To prevent misapplication, spot treatments should be applied with a calibrated boom or with hand sprayers using a fixed spray volume per 1,000 square feet as indicated below. Handheld Sprayers: Handheld sprayers may be used for spot applications of this product. Care should be taken to apply the spray uniformly and at a rate equivalent to a broadcast application. Application rates in the table are based on the application rate for an area of 1,000 square feet. Mix the amount of this product corresponding to the desired broadcast rate in 1 to 3 gallons of spray. To calculate the amount of this product required for larger areas, multiply the table value (fl. oz. or ml) by the thousands of square feet to be treated.

Page 31 of 33 Fish breathe oxygen in the water and a water-oxygen ratio must be maintained. Decaying weeds use up oxygen, but during the period when applications should be made, the weed mass is fairly sparse and the weed decomposition rate is slow enough that the water-oxygen ratio is not disturbed by treating the entire area at one time. If treatments must be applied later in the season when the weed mass is dense and repeat treatments are needed, apply product in lanes, leaving buffer strips which can then be treated when vegetation in treated lanes has disintegrated. During the growing season, weeds decompose in a 2 to 3 week period following treatment. Water Use:
