Subject: Label Amendment in Response to EPA Letter, Dated October 4, 2010
Brush Rhap
EPA Reg. No. 5905-568
Your Submission Dated October 14, 2010
Dear Ms. Wagner:
The labeling referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is acceptable,
provided you make the following changes:
1. Add "Sorghum" to the list of use sites under the product name on page 1.
2. On page 4, delete the second occurrence of the "Container Disposal" heading (it appears
twice).
3. On page 5, move the statement "Do not apply in greenhouses" to a position below the
chemigation prohibition so that it's clearly distinguished from it.
4. On page 10, in the formulas for calculating banding rate and volume, clarify that the
bandwidth in inches should be divided by the row width in inches by placing a line
between these variables or inserting a division symbol (-7-).
5. On page 13, insert the word "allowable" into the last sentence of the 4th bulleted
statement under "V. Restrictions and Limitations" ("Arid (dry) conditions") so that it
reads "The maximum allowable application rate ofBRUSH-Rhap may be needed to
control susceptible weeds in this environment."
\

Page 2 of3
EPA Reg. No. 5905-568
6. On page 13, in the first paragraph under "VI. Food/Feed Crop Specific Information,"
change "4 pints" to "4 %" pints" to agree with the directions for use on pastures, hay, and
silage.
7. Move the 3 paragraphs at the bottom of page 13 under "VI. Food/Feed Crop Specific
Information" (beginning with the paragraph discussed in item 6, above) to the directions
for use on "Pastures, Rangeland and Grass (Hay, Silage)" on page 14, since these
paragraphs are not relevant to all food/feed crops.
8. Move the "Crop Rotational Restrictions" on page 14 to section "V. Restrictions and
Limitations." The directions for use on several crops refer users to section V for
rotational crop information, and this information was located in section V on previously
accepted labels.
9. In Table 5 on page 14, correct the maximum rate per acre per season for pasture, hay, and
silage to read "4 % pints."
10. On page 14, revise the footnote to Table 5 to read "'Refer to specific crop sections for
grazing and feeding restrictions."
11. Make sure the words that run off the right side of the page in the three paragraphs at the
bottom of page 14 ("hay or" in the first paragraph; "mixes" in the second paragraph; and
"during" in the third paragraph) appear on the final printed labeling, and correct this
formatting error in future submissions.
12. On page 16, insert the word "for" in the statement above "Sorghum Tank Mixes" so that
it reads "Do not harvest for grain or fodder within 30 days of application."
13. Revise the beginning of the second sentence at the top of page 19 under "Rates and
Timings" to read "Refer to Tables 1 and 2 to determine ... "
14. In the third sentence at the top of page 19 under "Rates and Timings," change "4 pints" to
"4 % pints" to agree with Table 5.
15. On page 21, in the rate restriction statement above "NonCrop Area Restrictions," revise
the acid equivalency statement to read "Equivalent to 1.4 lbs. 2,4-D acid and 1.1 lbs.
dicamba acid per acre" as in the second paragraph on page 22.
A stamped copy of your label is enclosed for your records. This label supersedes all
previously accepted labels for the subject product. You must submit one (1) copy of the final
printed label before you release the product for shipment. Products shipped after eighteen (18)
months from the date of this letter or the next printing of the label, whichever occurs first, must

I. PRODUCT INFORMATION
BRUSH-RHAP® is a postemergence herbicide for controlling a wide spectrum of annual, biennial, and perennial
broadleaf weeds and brush in pastures, rangeland, and grass (hay, silage), sorghum, sugarcane, wheat, conservation
reserve program land, postharvest, fallow, crop stubble, set-aside acres, general farmstead areas, certain noncrop
areas, and for forest management.
Use ofthis product in certain portions of Cali fomi a, Oregon, and Washington is subject to the January 22,2004 Order
ofInjunctive Relief in Washington Toxics Coalition et all vs. EPA COl-132C (W.D.WA.). For information, please
refer to www.epa.gov/espp/litstatus/wtc.
Mode of Action
BRUSH-RHAP® contains two active ingredients uniquely formulated to be used alone or tank mixed with other
listed products as well as liquid fertilizer solutions. BRUSH-RHAP® is readily absorbed by plants through shoot and
root uptake, translocates throughout the plant's system, and accumulates in areas of active groWth. BRUSH-RHAP®
interferes with the plant's growth hormones (auxins) resulting in death of many broadleafweeds.
For best results, thoroughly clean sprayer equipment (tank, lines and nozzles) immediately after use by flushing
system with water and heavy duty detergent or other suitable tank cleaner.
II. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
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. Apply BRUSH-RHAP® at the rates and growth stages
listed in Tables 1 and 2 as follows unless instructed differently by section on FoodlFeed Crop Specific Information
or Non-FoodlFeed Use (Land not Harvested, Grazed or Foraged) - Specific Information. BRUSH-RHAP® may
be applied using water or sprayable fluid fertilizer as a carrier. The most effective application rate and timing varies
based on the target weed species (refer to Tables 1 and 2). In mixed populations of weeds the correct rate is
determined by the weed species requiring the highest rate. Delaying application permits weeds to exceed the
maximum size and will prevent adequate control. For certain specified applications liquid fertilizer or oil may replace
part or all of the water as diluent. If dry flowable (DF), wettable powder (WP) or flowable (F} tank mix products are
to be used, these should generally be added to the spray tank first. Refer to the mixing directions on the labels of the
tank mix products.
Irrigation:
In irrigated areas, it may be necessary to irrigate before treatment to ensure active weed growth.
CHEMIGATION PROHIBITION
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Do not apply in greenhouses.
Spray Coverage:
5
( (
\
Weeds must be thoroughly covered with spray. Dense leaf canopies shelter smaller weeds and prevent adequate spray
coverage.
Sensitive Crop Precautions:
BRUSH-RHAP® may cause injury to desirable trees and plants, particularly beans, cotton, flowers, fruit trees,
grapes, ornamentals, peas, potatoes, soybeans, sunflowers, tobacco, tomatoes and other Qroadleaf plants when
contacting their roots, stems or foliage. At high temperatures (about 85 degrees or higher), vapors from this product
may cause injury to the aforementioned susceptible crops. These plants are most sensitive to BRUSH-RHAP®
during their development or growing stage. Do not treat areas where either possible downward movement into the
soil or surface washing may cause contact ofBRUSH-RHAP® with the roots of desirable trees and shrubs.
AERIAL APPLICATION METHODS AND EQUIPMENT
Water Volume: Use 3-10 gallons of water per acre. Use the higher spray volume when treating dense or tall
vegetation.
Application Equipment: Select nozzles designed to produce minimal amounts of fine spray particles. Make
applications at the lowest stage height to reduce the exposure of spray droplets to evaporation and wind. The
applicator must follow the most restrictive use cautions to avoid drift hazards, including those found in this labeling
as well as applicable state and local regulations and ordinances.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind directions, 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 active ingredient, or when applying spr~ys 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 downward. 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
6
( 11 (
---
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-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.
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.
For ground boom application:
Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy.

2 Recommended rate will provide top growth suppression only. .
3 For improved root kill or woody species such as mesquite and eastern persimmon spray 2 pints of per acre BRUSH­
RHAP® each year for 3 consecutive years.
4 Under dense populations, a second application may be needed the following growing season.
For increased control of weeds such as blackberry and dewberry, BRUSH-RHAP® may be tank mixed with Ally®
herbicide (0.1-0.2 ounces per acre), iflabeled for the use site.
Ground Application (Banding)
When applying BRUSH-RHAP® herbicide by banding, determine the amount of herbicide and water volume needed
using the following formula:
Bandwidth in inches X Broadcast rate = Banding herbicide
Row width in inches per acre rate per acre
Bandwidth in inches X Broadcast rate = Banding water
Row width in inches volume per acre volume per acre
Ground Application (Broadcast)
Water volume: Use 10-25 gallons of spray solution per broadcast acre for optimal performance. Use the higher
spray volume when treating dense or tall vegetation.
Application Equipment: Select nozzle design to produce minimal amounts of fine spray particles. Spray nozzles as
close to the weeds as is practical for good weed coverage.
Spot or Small Area Application
BRUSH-RHAP® may be applied to individual clumps or small areas of undesirable vegetation using handgun or
similar types of application equipment. Apply diluted sprays to allow complete wetting (up to runoff) of foliage and
stems. For knapsack or other small capacity sprayers, prepare a solution of BRUSH-RHAP® in water according to
Table 3 (assuming that the spot treatment rate equates to 40 gallons pre acre on the broadcast basis.) Adding a
surfactant (0.5% by volume) can help improve control.
Do not make spot treatments in addition to broadcast or band treatments.
Application equipment: Select nozzles designed to produce minimal amounts of fine spray· particles. Spray with
nozzles as close to the weeds as is practical for good weed coverage.

III. ADDITIVES
To improve burndown of emerged weeds, surfactants and/or low use rates of liquid fertilizers (28-0-0; 32-0-0), or
crop oil concentrate may be used with BRUSH-RHAP® herbicide or BRUSH-RHAP® tank mixes applied after the
10
( (
weeds have emerged. Crop oil concentrate is for non-food/feed crop uses only. Do not apply tank mixes that include
Ammonium Sulfate or Crop Oil Concentrate to any food/feed crop use listed on this label. For food/feed crop use, do
not use liquid fertilizers that contain Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) as a source of nitrogen as tolerances in commodities
derived from the crop may contain residues that exceed established tolerances.
Oil Concentrate
A crop oil concentrate must contain either a petroleum or vegetable oil base and must meet all of the following
criteria:
• be non-phytotoxic
• contain only EPA-exempt ingredients
• provide good mixing quality in the jar test, and
• be successful in local experience
The exact composition of suitable products will vary; however, vegetable oil and petroleum oil concentrates should
contain emulsifiers to provide good mixing quality. Highly refined vegetable oils have proven more satisfactory than
unrefined vegetable oils. For additional information, see Compatibility Test for Mix Components.
Nitrogen Source
Sprayable liquid fertilizers: Use Yz GPA of sprayable liquid fertilizers (28-0-0; 32-0-0) per acre. Do not use brass or
aluminum nozzles when spraying fertilizers.
Non-ionic Surfactant
The standard label recommendation is 2-4 pints of an 80% active non-ionic spray surfactant per 100 gallons of water.
(Rate will vary with the size and condition of weeds to be controlled. Use lowest rate per 100 gallons when weeds are
small and actively growing. As weeds increase in size and or become hardened off, the rate of non-ionic surfactant
will have to be increased to give optimum coverage and control.)

Read and follow the applicable Restrictions and Limitations and Directions for Use on aU products involved in
tank mixing. The most restrictive labeling applies to tank mixes. Physical incompatibility, or reduced weed control
may result from mixing BRUSH-RHAP® with other pesticides (fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, or miticides),
additives, or fertilizers.
Compatibility Test for Mix Components
Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility jar test.
For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3.3 cups (800 ml) of water. For other spray volumes adjust accordingly.
Only use water from the intended source at the source temperature. .
Add components in the sequence indicated in the Mixing Order using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon for
each pint of specified label rate per acre.
Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between component additions.
When the components have all been added to the jar, let the solution stand for 15 minutes. Evaluate the solution for
uniformity and stability. The spray solution should not have free oil on the surface, nor fine particles that precipitate
to the bottom, nor thick (clabbered) texture. If the spray solution is not compatible, repeat the compatibility test with
the addition of a suitable compatibility agent. If the solution is still incompatible, do not mix the ingredients in the
same tank.
