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. If pesticide gets on skin, wash immediately with soap and water. 3) Remove PPE immediately
after handling this product. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide may be toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where
surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff may be
hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Do not contaminate water when
disposing of equipment wash waters 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. Application around a cistern or well may result in contamination of drinking water or
groundwater.
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.
USE INFORMATION
This product is a herbicide intended for the control of many broadleaved weeds, herbaceous perennials and
woody plants susceptible to 2,4-D in various crops including cereal grains (Barley, Millet, Oats, Rye, Wheat),
Corn (Field, Pop, Sweet), fallow land and crop stubble, Potatoes, Sorghum, and Soybeans (preplant and
burndown applications only), forests, rangeland and established pastures including Conservation Reserve
Program (CRP) acres, noncropland, grasses grown for seed or sod and ornamental turf.
Apply this product as water or oil-water spray during warm weather when weeds, brush or woody plants are
actively growing. Application under drought conditions often will give poor results. Use low spray pressure
to minimize drift. Generally, the lower dosage specified on this label 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 dosage will be needed. Deep-rooted perennial weeds such as Canada thistle and F ield
bindweed and many woody plants usually require repeated applications for maximum control. Note: If there
are uncertainties concerning special local use situations or specific crop variety tolerances to 2,4-D, consult
your State Agricultural Experiment Station or Local Extension Service weed specialist for advice.

WEED RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
GROUP 4 HERBICIDE
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. Weed species with acquired resistance to Group 4 may
eventually dominate the weed population if Group 4 herbicides are used repeatedly in the same field or in
successive years as primary method of control for targeted species. This may result in partial or total loss of
control of those species by this product or other Group 4 herbicides.
To delay herbicide resistance, consider:
• Avoiding the consecutive use of this product or other target site of action Group 4 herbicides that have a
similar target site of action on the same weed species.
• Using tank mixtures or premixes with herbicides from different target site of action Groups as l ong as the
involved products are all registered for the same use, have different sites of action, and are both effective
at the tank mix or prepack rate on the weed(s) of concern.
• Basing herbicide use on a comprehensive IPM program.
• Monitoring treated weed populations for loss of field efficacy.
• Contacting your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors and/or manufacturer for herbicide
resistance management and/or integrated weed management recommendations for specific crops and
resistant weed biotypes.

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 appli -
cator 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, residential areas,
bodies of water, known habitat for nontarget species, nontarget 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.
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. Susceptible
crops include, but are not limited to, Beans, Cotton, Flowers, Grapes (in growing stage), Fruit trees (foliage),
Okra, Ornamentals, Soybeans (vegetative state), Sunflowers, Tobacco, Tomatoes, and other Vegetables.
Small amounts of spray drift that might not be visible may injure susceptible broadleaved 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.
Additional Requirements for 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 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.
2,4-D esters may volatize during conditions of low humidity and high temperatures. Do not apply during
conditions of low humidity and high temperatures.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fill the spray tank about one- half full with water, then add the required amount of this product with
agitation, and finally, the rest of the water. Note: This product in water forms an emulsion, which tends to
separate unless agitation is maintained.
2. If oil is added, first mix this product and the oil and then add this mixture to the water. However, with
adequate agitation, the oil can be added after this product is mixed in the water.
Page 5 of 20
3. If straight oil is used, a solution is formed and separation does not occur. Do not allow any water to get
into the oil-herbicide mixture to avoid formation of an invert emulsion.
Note: Adding oil, wetting agent, or other surfactant to the spray mixture may increase effectiveness on
weeds, but also may reduce selectivity in crops resulting in crop damage.
Tank Mixes: Read carefully and follow all applicable use directions, precautions, and limitations on the
respective product labels. Do not exceed specified application rates. Do not tank mix with another pesticide
product that contains the same active ingredient as this product unless the label of either tank mix partner
specifies the maximum dosages that may be used.
Compatibility Testing: A jar test is recommended 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 m ixture several times and observe the mixture for approximately
one-half hour. If the mixture balls-up, forms flakes, sludges, jels, oily films or layers, or other precipitates, it
is not compatible and the tank mix combination should not be used.
Oil Spray: Use only as directed on th e label distributed for this product . Fill clean spray tank about one-
half to two-thirds full with diesel oil, fuel oil, stove oil, or other suitable oil. Add required amount of product
with agitation turned on. Continue a gitation while adding balance of oil. The resulting mixture is a solution
and will generally remain uniform without agitation once mixed. However, agitation is suggested if available.
Do not allow any water to get into the spray mixture to avoid formati on of an invert emulsion (mayonnaise
consistency).
Water Spray With Oil: Use only as directed on the label distributed for this product. Where a combination
of water and oil diluent is specified, use emulsifiable crop oil or crop oil concentrate with mild agitation. Mix
in the sequence of water, product, and oil. If diesel or other non- emulsified oils listed above under "O il
Spray" are desired for use with water, add no more than 1 quart of such oil per 1 gallon of water and agitate
vigorously until tank is emptied. If possible, premix non- emulsified oil with this product and add this premix
to a mostly filled spray tank with agitation on. Follow these procedures carefully to avoid formation of an
invert emulsion (mayonnaise consistency).
Mixing with Liquid Nitrogen Fertilizer: This product may be combined with liquid nitrogen fertilizer suitable
for foliar application to accomplish broadleaved 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 by mixing spray ingredients in correct proportions in a clear glass jar before mixing in spray
tank. A compatibility aid 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
compatibility aid. Pre-mixing this product with 1 to 4 parts water may help in situations when mixing difficulty
occurs.
Adjuvants for Pre-emergence and Preplant Applications: A nonionic surfactant or a crop oil concentrate
may be added to the spray solution when this product is applied pre- emergence or preplant to increase
control of large or hard-to-control weeds. Crop oil concentrate must contain at least 17% emulsifier and be
used at 0.25% v/v (2 pints per 100 gallons of spray solution).
CLEANING OF SPRAY EQUIPMENT
To avoid injury to desirable plants, thoroughly clean the equipment used to apply this product before re-use
or applying other chemicals as indicated below.
1. Rinse and flush application equipment thoroughly after 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.
2. During the second rinse, add 1 quart of household ammonia for every 25 gallons of water. Circulate the
solution through the entire system for 15 to 20 minutes so that all internal surfaces are contacted. Let the
solution stand for several hours, preferably overnight.
3. Flush the solution out of the spray tank through the boom.
Page 6 of 20
4. Rinse the system twice with clean water, recirculating and draining each time.
5. Remove nozzles and screens and clean separately.
6. 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 INSTRUCTIONS
Volume of Spray: Apply this product with calibrated spray equipment by ground or air using sufficient spray
volume to provide adequate coverage of target weeds or as otherwise directed in specific use directions.
For broadcast application, apply the specified rate of thi s product by air in a minimum of 2 gallons of spray
per acre and 10 gallons of spray per acre by ground. Use low-pressure sprays to minimize drift.
Where states have regulations, that 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. Do not apply less than 2 gallons total spray volume per acre.
Rates of Application: Generally, lower rates in specified rate ranges will be satisfactory for more sensitive
weeds species, when weeds are small, and when environmental conditions are favorable for rapid growth.
Use higher rates in the specified rate range for less sensitive species and under less favorable growing
conditions. For crop uses, do not mix with oil or other adjuvants unless specifically directed on this label.
Spot Treatments: To prevent misapplication, apply spot treatments with a calibrated boom or with hand
sprayers using a fixed spray volume per 1,000 square feet as indicated below.
Handheld Sprayers: This product may be applied using handheld sprayers for spot applications. Apply the
spray uniformly at a rate equivalent to a broadcast application. R ates in the below "Rate Conversion Table
for Spot Treatments" are based on the application rate for an area of 1,000 square feet.
Mix the amount of this product (fl. oz. or mL) 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 value in the table (fl. oz.

FALLOW LAND* AND CROP STUBBLE
Target Weeds This Product
per Acre Use Instructions
Annual broadleaved weeds 0.75 to 1.33
pints
Use a lower rate in the rate range when weeds
are small (2 to 3 inches tall) and actively growing.
Use a higher in the rate range when weeds are
larger and under less favorable growth
conditions.
Biennial broadleaved weeds 1.33 to 2.66
pints
Apply when Musk thistles or other biennial
species are in the seedling to rosette stage and
before development of flower stalks.
The lower rate can be used in the Spring during
the rosette stage. Use the highest rate in the Fall
or after flower stalks have developed.
Perennial broadleaved weeds 1.33 to 2.66
pints
Apply when perennial w eeds are in bud to early
bloom stage or while in good vegetative growth.
Wild garlic and Onion in crop
stubble
2.66 pints Apply to new regrowth of Wild garlic or Onion
which occurs in the Fall after harvest of Small
grains, Corn or Grain sorghum.
Use Precautions:
For best weed control results, do not cultivate for at least 2 weeks after application or until top growth is
dead.
Planting in Treated Areas:
Labeled Crops: Within 29 days after an application of this product, plant only those crops listed on this
or other registered 2,4-D labels. Follow more stringent limitations, if any, provided in directions for specific
crops. Labeled crops may be at risk of crop injury or loss if planted soon after application, especially during
the first 14 days. When weighing this risk, consider the degradation factors described below.
Other Crops: All other crops may be planted 30 or more days after 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 ri sk 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 breakdown 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 or information about susceptible crops and
typical conditions in your area.
*Fallow land is idle land, postharvest to crops or between crops.

acre. Apply when weeds are small and actively
growing. For best results, apply when soil moisture
is adequate for active weed growth.
Do not apply to newly seeded grasses until well
established (5-leaf stage or later ). Cool season
grasses are more tolerant to higher rates.
Do not apply to grass in the early boot through milk
stage if seed production is desired.
When grass is well established, higher rates of up
to 2.75 pints per acre may be applied for control of
hard-to-kill annual or perennial weeds.
Deep-rooted perennials such as Bindweed and
Canada thistle may require repeat applications.
Avoid mowing sod farms for 1 to 2 days before or
after application.
Delay irrigation until the day following application.
