ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
For Terrestial Uses:
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 except as noted on appropriate labels. 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.
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 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.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
READ ENTIRE LABEL BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT. USE STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH LABEL PRECAUTIONARY
STATEMENTS AND DIRECTIONS.
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.
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 emerge'ncy assistance. It also
contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE)
and restricted-entry interval. 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 (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, chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof
material, shoes plus socks and protective eyewear.
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.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Do not contaminate water used for irritation or domestiC purposes.
Excessive amounts of this product in soil may temporarily inhibit seed germination and plant growth. Do not use the same spray
equipment for applying other materials to 2,4-0 susceptible crops as injury may result. It is best to use a separate sprayer for
application of insecticides and fungicides.
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, chemigation) 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 2,4-0 as the sole active ingredient, or when applying sprays that contain 2,4-0 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 2,4-0 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.
3
(
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, 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 2,4-0 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 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 applications:
Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy.
WEEDS CONTROLLED
This product will kill or control the following weeds in addition to many other noxious plants susceptible to 2,4-0.

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 growing actively. Use enough spray volume for uniform coverage by ground or air application. If
only bands or rows are treated, leaving middles unsprayed, the dosage per crop per acre is reduced proportionately. Do not apply
when temperature exceeds 90°F. -
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
MIX this product only with water. 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 may increase effectiveness on
weeds but also may reduce selectivity to crops resulting in crop damage.
CORN
(Field and Sweet)
Preemergence (For annual grasses and broad leaf weeds) - Apply to soil anytime after planting but before corn emerges. Do not use
on light sandy soil, or where soil moisture is low. Use 1 gallon in 15 to 30 gallons of water per acre. Maximum rate per application is
1 gallon per acre, limited to one preplant or preemergence application per crop cycle.
Emergence - Apply 2 quarts in 15 to 30 gallons of water per acre just as corn plants are breaking ground.
Postemergence - (For broadleaf weeds) - Apply 1 to 2 quarts in 8 to 15 gallons of water per acre, when most weeds have germinated.
Maximum rate per application is 2.5 quarts per acre, limited to one postemergence application per crop cycle. Spray after corn
emerges and until 8 inches tall. Use low rates on inbreds. Corn is susceptible to injury shortly after emergence and after unfolding of
leaves. Do not spray during this period nor after first tassels appear. When corn is over 8 inches tall, use drop nozzle to keep spray
off corn fOliage. Spray must strike tops of weeds but should not drench corn plants. Do not apply from tasseling to dough stage. Injury
to corn is most likely to occur if this product is applied when corn is growing rapidly under high temperatures and high soil moisture
conditions. In such conditions, use the low rate. For resistant weeds, use up to 2.5 quarts per acre though corn injury may result. Do
not use higher rates unless possible crop injury will be acceptable. After application, delay cultivation for 8 to 10 days to allow the corn
to overcome any temporary brittleness.
Preharvest (Field): After the hard dough or denting stage, apply by air or ground equipment to suppress perennial weeds, decrease
weedseed production, and control tall weeds such as Bindweed, Cocklebur, Dogbane, Jimsonweed, Ragweed, Sunflower, Velvetleaf,
and vines that interfere with harvesting. Use 0.5 to 1 gallon in 30 to 50 gallons of water per acre. Maximum rate per application is 1.75
gallons per acre, limited to one preharvest application per crop cycle. -
Limitations for Use on Field Corn:
• Do not use treated crop as fodder for 7 days following application.
• The preharvest interval (PHI) is 7 days.
• Maximum of 3.5 gallons per acre per crop cycle.
Limitations for Use on Sweet Corn:
• Do not use treated crop as fodder for 7 days following application.
• The preharvest interval (PHI) is 45 days.
• Minimum of 21 days between applications.
• Maximum of 1.75 gallons per acre per crop cycle.
WITH LIQUID NITROGEN SOLUTIONS: For late season control of your Smartweed, Cocklebur, Annual morningglory and other
annual broadleaf weeds less than 1 inch high. Field should be as clean as possible and corn 20 to 30 inches tall. Apply 1/2 gallon
with 80 to 120 pounds Nitrogen per acre; the spray must be prepared by first adding the required amount of liquid Nitrogen solution
to spray tank. Next dilute 2 quarts of this product with 2 quarts clean water for each acre to be treated with one tankful. Start the tank
agitator and (slowly) add the diluted 2,4-0 solution. Spray immediately, maintaining continuous agitation until spray tank is empty.
Direct the spray to lower 3 to 4 inches of corn stalk. Use spray equipment designated to handle corrosive liquid nitrogen solutions.
After spraying, remove any remaining solution and rinse rig thoroughly with water. Mix only one tank at a time. Do not spray during or
immediately following cold weather.
SORGHUM
Postemergence - Apply 2-213 to 4 pints in 6 to 10 gallons of water per acre when sorghum is 6 to 8 inches tall. Use 4 pints when
sorghum is 8 to 15 inches tall. Treat only after the sorghum is 6 inches high and preferably before it is 15 inches high. Do not treat
during the boot, tasseling, or early dough stages. Reduce spray drift by keeping the boom and spray nozzle as low as possible. If crop
is taller than 8 inches, use drop nozzle to keep the spray off the leaves. Temporary spray injury can be expected under conditions of
high soil moisture and high air temperatures. If it is necessary to apply this product under these conditions, use no more than 2-2/3
pints per acre. Maximum rate per application is 9 pints per acre, limited to one application per crop cycle.
Limitations forUse on Sorghum: _
• Do not permit meat or dairy animals to consume treated crop as fodder or forage for 30 days following application.
• The preharvest interval (PHI) is 30 days.
NOTE:
Corn & Sorghum Hybrids vary in tolerance to 2,4-0. Some are easily injured. Spray only varieties known to be tolerant to 2,4-0.
Consult the seed company or your Agricultural Experiment Station or Extension Service weed specialist for this information.

(
BARLEY, WHEAT, OATS AND RYE
Spring Postemergence - In Spring grown grains, spray after grain begins tillering and before the boot stage (usually 4 to 8 inches
tall) and weeds are small. Apply 1 to 2 quarts of this product in 5 to 10 gallons of water per acre. Oats are more sensitive to 2,4-0
than other grains and should be sprayed in the Spring when well established and tillered and before jointing after crop has reached
the dough stage. In Winter grains, use 2 to 4 quarts of this product to control large weeds that will interfere with harvest or to suppress
perennial weeds. The maxirnum rate per application is 6 quarts per acre per application, limited to one postemergence application
per crop cycle.
Preharvest treatment can be applied when the grain is in the dough stage. Best results will be obtained when soil moisture is adequate
for plant growth and weeds are growing well. Maximum rate per application is 2.5 quarts per acre per application, limited to one
preharvest application per crop cycle.
Limitations for Use on Barley, Wheat, Oats and Rye:
• Do not permit dairy animals or meat animals being finished for slaughter to forage or graze treated grain fields within 2 weeks after
treatment. Do not feed treated straw to livestock.
• The preharvest interval (PHI) is 14 days.
• Limited to 8.25 quarts per acre per crop cycle.
SUGARCANE
Preemergence - Use 2 gallons in 15 to 20 gallons of water per acre as a blanket spray through layby, to aid in control of Johnsongrass
seedlings and susceptible broadleaf weeds. The maximum rate per application is 2.5 gallons per acre, limited to one preemergence
application per crop cycle.
Postemergence - Use 0.75 to 1 gallon in 10 to 30 gallons of water. Apply when cane is 1 to 2 feet tall. The maximum rate per
application is 2.5 gallons per acre, limited to one postemergence application per crop cycle.
Limitations Use on Sugarcane:
• Do not harvest cane prior to crop maturity.
• Do not apply more than 4.75 gallons per acre per crop cycle.
RICE
Use 0.75 to 1.25 gallons of this product in 5 to 10 gallons of water per acre to control Curly indigo and other broadleaf weeds. Apply
in the late tillering stage of rice development, at the time of first joint development (first to second green ring), usually 6 to 9 weeks
after emergence. Do not apply after panicle initiation, after rice internodes exceed 1/2 inch at early seeding, early panicle, boot,
flowering or early heading growth stages. The maximum rate per application is 1.75 gallons, limited to one postemergence application
per crop cycle.
Note: Some rice varieties under certain conditions can be injured by 2,4-0. Therefore before spraying, consult local Extension Service
or University specialist for appropriate rates and timing of 2,4-0 sprays.
Limitations for Use on Rice:
• The preharvest interval (PHI) is 60 days.
• Maximum of 1.75 gallons per acre per crop cycle.
ON FALLOW LAND
Use 1 to 2 gallons of this product per acre on annual broadleaf weeds and up to 3 quarts per acre on established perennial species,
such as Canada thistle and Field bindweed. Apply to weeds actively growing. Plant only labeled crops within 29 days following
application. The maximum rate per application is 2.5 gallons per acre, limited to 2 applications per year. Allow a minimum of 30 days
between applications.
GRASSES
(Established Pastures and Rangeland)
In established pastures and rangelands, use 1 to 2 gallons of this product in 15 to 30 gallons of water per acre per application per
site. Use the light rate on more easily injured grasses. For small areas, use 3 to 4 fluid ounces (6 to 8 Tablespoons) per 1,000 square
feet; mix 1 to 3 gallons of water and apply uniformly over the area. Apply preferably when weeds are small and growing actively before
bud stage. Fall or Spring is the best time to treat. Repeated treatments may be needed for less susceptible weeds, but no more than
2 applications per year. Treatment will kill or injure alfalfa, sweet clover and other legumes. White clover (including Ladino) may be
injured. by light application but recovers; repeated treatments will kill it. In some areas dichondra, bent, carpet, buffalo, and St.
Augustine grasses may be injured. Usually colonial bents are more tolerant than creeping types; velvets are most easily injured. Where
bentgrass predominates, make 1 application of 1/2 gallon per acre at 30 day intervals. Maximum rate per application is 2.5 gallons
per acre, limited to 2 applications per year. A minimum of 30 days between applications. The preharvest interval (PHI) is 7 days (cut
forage for hay).
Note: If grass is to be cut for hay, Agricultural use Requirements for the Worker Protection Standard are applicable. For program lands,
such as Conservation Reserve Program, consult program rules to determine whether grass or hay may be used. The more restrictive
requirements of the program rules or this label must be followed.

(
SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS: Apply with low pressure (10 to 40 psi) power spray equipment mounted on truck, tractor or boat.
Apply while traveling upstream to avoid accidental concentration of chemical into water. Spray when the air is fairly calm; 5 mph or
less.
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
For DitchbankWeeds: Do not allow boom spray to be directed onto water surface and do not spray across stream to opposite bank.
For Shoreline Weeds: Allow no more than 2 foot overspray into water with an average of less than 1 foot overspray to prevent
introduction of greater than negligible amounts of chemical into the water.
AQUATIC WEED CONTROL
(Surface Application to Floating and Emergent Weeds)
Aerial Application: Use 2.5 gallons of this product in 5 to 15 gallons of water to cover one surface acre.
B,oat Application: Use 2.5 gallons of this product in 50 to 100 gallons of water per acre.
Uniform coverage is essential. Avoid submerging plants after treatment. Application should be made when leaves are fully developed
above water line and plants are actively growing.
Treatment of aquatic weeds can result in oxygen loss from decomposition of dead weeds. This loss can cause fish suffocation.
Therefore, to minimize this hazard, treat 1/3 to 1/2 of the water area in a single operation and wait at least 21 days between
treatments. Begin treatments along the shore and proceed outwards in bands to allow fish to move into untreated areas.
The maximum rate per broadcast application is 5 gallons per surface acre, limited to applications is 2 per year. Do not make a
broadcast application within 21 days of previous broadcast application. Spot treatments are permitted.
Apply to emergent aquatic weeds in ponds, lakes, reservoirs, marshes, bayous, drainage ditches, non-irrigation canals, rivers, and
streams that are quiescent or slow moving. .
Coordination and approval of local and state authorities may be required, either by letter of agreement or issuance of special permits
for aquatic applications. .
Water Use
1. Water for irrigation or sprays:
A. If treated water is intended to be used only for crops or non-crop areas that are labeled for direct treatment with 2,4-0 such
as pastures, turf, or cereal grains, the treated water may be used to irrigate and/or mix sprays for these sites at anytime after
the 2,4-0 aquatic application.
B. Due to potential phytotoxicity considerations, the following restrictions are applicable:
If treated water is intended to be used to irrigate or mix sprays for plants grown in commercial nurseries and greenhouses;
and other plants or crops that are not labeled for direct treatment with 2,4-0, the water must not be used unless one of the
following restrictions has been observed:
i. A setback distance from functional water intake(s) of greater than or equal to 600 feet was used for the application, or,
ii. A waiting period of 7 days from the time of application has elapsed, or,
iii. An approved assay indicates that the 2,4-0 concentration is 100 ppb (0.1 ppm) or less at the water intake. Wait at
least 3 days after application before initial sampling at water intake.
2. Drinking water (potable water):
A. Consult with appropriate state or local water authorities before 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 2,4-0 in the water is less than the MCl (Maximum Contaminant Level) of 70 ppb.
Applicators should consider the unique characteristics of the treated waters to assure that 2,4-0 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
greater than or equal to 600 feet.
C. If no setback distance of greater than or equal to 600 feet is used for application, applicators or the authorizing organization
must provide a drinking water notification prior to a 2,4-0 application to the party responsible for public water supply or to
individual private water uses. 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 the water use restrictions when this product is applied to
potable water.
The following is an example of a 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.
8
( (
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 more 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 greater than or equal to 600 ft. was used for the appiication, or,
ii. A waiting period of at least 7 days from the time of application 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 aft~r 2,4-D application. Analysis of samples must be
completed by a laboratory that is certified under the Safe Drinking Water Act to perform drinking water analySis using
a currently approved version of analytical Method Number 515,555, other methods for 2,4- D as may be listed in Title
40 CFR, Part 141.24, or Method Number 4015 (immunoassay of 2,4-0) 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 applications of 2,4-D adjacent to water bodies with potable water
intakes.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal.
PESTICIDE STORAGE: Always store pesticides in a secured warehouse or storage building. Store at temperatures above 32°F. If
allowed to freeze, rewarm to 40°F, remix thoroughly before using. This does not alter this product. Containers should be opened in
well-ventilated areas. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use. Do not stack cardboard cases more than two pallets high. Do
not store near open containers of fertilizer, seed or other pesticides.
PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Pesticides wastes are toxic. If container is damaged or if pesticide has leaked, contain all spillage. Absorb
and clean up all spilled material with granules or sand. Place in a closed, labeled container for proper disposal. Improper disposal
of excess pesticide, spray mixtures, or rinsate is a violation of Federal law and may contaminate groundwater. If these wastes
cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the
Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance.
CONTAINER DISPOSAL: Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Triple rinse (or equivalent) promptly after
emptying. Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins
to drip. Fill the container 1/4 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank
or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times.
Then offer for recycling or reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by other procedures approved by State
and local authorities. Plastic containers are also disposable by incineration, or, if allowed by State and local authorities, by burning.
