GENERAL INFORMATION 
BRONA TE'" GEl is formulated as a gelatinous mixture containing the equivalent of 2.5 los. per gallon of bromoxyni and 2.5 pounds par 
gallon of isooctyIs5ler of MCPA. BRONA TE'" GEl is packaged in convenient water soluble bags. 
BRONA TE'" GEL is a selective postemergenc& herbicide for control of important broadleaf weeds infesting smal grains (wheat, barIoy, 
oats, rye), and conservation reserve program areas. Optimum weed control is obtained when BRONA TE" GEl is applied to activaly 
growing weed seedlings. BRONA TE" GEL is primarily a contact herbicide, therefore thorough coverage of the weed seedlings is 
essential for optimum control 
BRONATE'" GEL has little residual activity. Therefore subsequent flushes of weeds will not be controlled by the initial treatment. 
Generally, crops that form a good canopy will help shade subsequent weed flushes. However, certain crops or short-straw varieties, 
for example Yaccora Rojo whea~ may not develop the crop canopy fast enough to shade the subsequent flushes of weeds. 
• Occasional transitory leaf bum may occur. The temporary leaf bum is similar to that seen with liquid fertilizer. Because the activity of 
.. . BRONA TE" GEL is mainly contact, recovery of the crop is generaUy rapid wiIh no lasting effoct. Frequency and amount of leaf bum 
:"', ' may be groater when crops are stressed by abrasive winds, cool to cold evening temperatures or mechanical injury, such as that . 
~.:' .. '! . caused by hail, sleet or insect feeding. To reduce the potential for temporary leaf bum, applications should be made to dry foliage in 
.', . the recommended spray volumes par acre When weather conditions are not 8X\nIma.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES 
BRONA TE" GEL can be applied to registered use areas by ground. and aarial equipment. 
GROUND APPliCATION 
Usa a standard herbicide boom sprayer that provides uniform and accurate application. Sprayer should be equipped wkh screens roo 
finer than 50 mash in the nozzle tips and in-line strainers. 
Select a spray voluma and delivery system that win ensure thorough and unfform spray coverage. For optimum spray <fostnbution and 
thorough covarage use of flat fan nozzlas (maximum tip size 8008) wfth a minimum spray pressure of 30 psi at the nozzle tips are 
recommanded. Other nozzle typos that produce courna spray droplets may not provide adequate covarage of the woods to ensure 
optimum control. Raindrop(3) nozzles are not recommended as weed control wkh aRONA TEO> GEL may be reduced. In general a 
minimum spray volume 0110 gallons per aae (GPA) is recommended for optimum spray coverage. A minimum of 5 GPA wfth a mirimum 
spray pressure of 50 psi may be used with higher speed, low volume ground application if ground terrain. crop and woad density dow 
effective spray distribution. When using higher spaed equipment a maximum spoad of 10 mph is suggested ff field cond~ions causa 
"xcossivo boom movoment during application and subsequent poor spray coverage. 
When weed infestations are heavy, usa 01 higher spray volumes arid spray pressure wi" be helpful in obtaining uniform weed cawrago. 
Ground applications made whan dry, dusty field conditions exist may provide reduced weed control in wheal track areas. 
00 not apply when winds are gusty or when other conditions favor poor spray coverage andIor off target spray movement 
AERIAL APPLICATION 
Use orifoce discs, cores and nozzle types arid arrangements that will provide for optimum spray distribution arid maximum coverage. In 
ganera! a minimum spray volume of 5 GPA arid a maximum pressure of 40 psi are f9C0mmended. A minimum spray wlume of 3 GPA 
may be used ff crop canopy and weed dart'Sijy allow adequate spray cov9l'aga at that gallonage. 
00 not apply during inversion cond~ions, when winds ara gusty or when other conditions favor poor spray coverage andIor off target 
spray movement Off target spray movement can be minimized by increasing the spray voIuma per acta and not appfying when winds 
9xoead 10 mph. "
