ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is 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 watermark. Drift and
runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Do not
contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water orrinsate.
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.
Groundwater Contamination: Most cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy
herbicides such as 2,4-D have been associated with mixing/loading and disposal sites. Caution
must be exercised when handling 2,4-D pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of
groundwater 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.
Endangered Species.Concerns: The use of any pesticide in.a manner that may kill or otherwise
harm an endangered species or adversely modify their habitat is a violation of federal law.

I. PRODUCT INFORMATION
BW III is a postemergence herbicide for controlling a wide spectrum of annual, biennial,
and perennial broadleaf weeds and brush in pastures, range/and, and grass (hay,
silage); sorghum; wheat; conservation reserve program land; postharvest, fallow, crop
stubble, set-aside acres; general farmstead areas; certain noncrop areas, and for forest
management.
Mode of Action
BW III contains two active ingredients uniquely formulated to be used alone or tank
mixed with other listed products as well as liquid fertilizer solutions. BW III is readily
absorbed by plants through shoot and root uptake, translocates throughout the plant's
' system, and accumulates in areas of active growth. BW III interferes with the plant's
growth hormones (auxins) resulting in death of many broadleaf weeds.
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
Apply BW III at the rates and growth stages listed in Tables 1 and 2 as follows unless
instructed differently by section on "Food/Feed Crop Specific Information" or "Non-
Food/Feed Use (Land not Harvested, Grazed or Foraged)-Specific Information." BW III
may be applied using water or sprayable fluid fertilizer as a carrier. Sprayable fluid
fertilizer may be used as the carrier in preplant or pre-emergence use for all crops
listed on this label. Postemergence uses with sprayable fluid fertilizer may be made on
pasture, hayland, or wheat crops only. The most effective application rate and timing
varies based on the target weed species (refer to Table I). 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. Follow the mixing directions on the labels of the tank mix products.
Apply product only when active weed growth is evident.
Chemigation Prohibition •
Restrictions:
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
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.
Filename: HELENA BW-III (5905-575) 082114 CLN.doc
c
Spray Coverage
Weeds must be thoroughly covered with spray. Dense leaf canopies shelter smaller
weeds and prevent adequate spray coverage. Do not apply more than 2 applications
per year.
Sensitive Crop Precautions
BW III may cause injury to. desirable trees and plants, particularly beans, cotton, flowers,
fruit trees, grapes, ornamentals, peas, potatoes, soybeans, sunflowers, tobacco,
tomatoes and other broadleaf 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 BW
III during their development or growing stage. Do not treat areas where either possible
downward movement into the soil or surface washing may cause contact of BW III 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
PREVENTING SPRA Y DRIFT A T THE APPLICA TION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY
OF THE APPLICATOR.
Drift Reduction Information
The following information may be helpful in reducing possible spray drift from ground or
aerial applications. Avoid making applications when spray particle may be carried by air
currents to areas where sensitive crops and plants are growing. Do not spray near
sensitive plants if the wind is gusty or in excess of 5 mph and moving in the direction of
nearby sensitive crops or if a temperature inversion exists. Always determine the
direction and distance of possible spray drift prior to application. Leave an adequate
buffer zone between area to be treated and sensitive plants. Coarse sprays are less
likely to drift out of the target area than fine sprays. Properly maintain and calibrate all
spray equipment. The use of agriculturally accepted drift retardants are acceptable and
advised. Avoid applications within the vicinity of susceptible plants when at all possible.
Filename: HELENA BW-III (5905-575) 082114 CLN.doc
f r v^ ( 12,)
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 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, orb)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 (vegetable 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.
Filename: HELENA BW-III (5905-575) 082114 CLN.doc
c c '31
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.
Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy.
Do not apply during conditions of low humidity and high temperatures.
SENSITIVE AREAS
The pesticide must only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive
areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or
endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away
from the sensitive areas).

3 Under dense populations, a second application may be needed the following growing season. '
For increased control of weeds such as blackberry and dewberry, BW III may be tank mixed with Ally®
herbicide (0.1-0.2 ounces per acre), if labeled for the use site.
Ground Application (Banding)
Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy.
When applying BW III herbicide by banding, determine the amount of herbicide and water volume needed
using the following formula:

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
BW III 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 ofBW III in water
according to Table 3 (assuming that the spot treatment rate equates to 40 gallons per 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 BW III herbicide orBWIII tank mixes applied after the
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.
Filename: HELENA BW-III (5905-575) 082114 CLN.doc 12

Oil Concentrate
/4 crop oil concentrate must contain either a petroleum or vegetable oil base and must meet all of the
following criteria:
• be non-phytotoxic
• 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.
Adjuvants containing crop oil concentrates may be used forpreplant, pre-emergence and between
cropping applications. Do not use crop oil concentrate for postemergence applications to food/feed crops
(i.e. sorghum, grass (hay or silage), pastures, rangeland, and wheat).
Nitrogen Source
Sprayable Liquid Fertilizers: Use 1A GPA ofsprayable 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.)

See "VI. Food/Feed Crop Specific Information" section for more information for more details. Read and
follow the applicable Restrictions and Limitations and Directions for Use on all products involved in tank
mixing. Physical incompatibility, reduced weed control, or crop injury may result from mixing BWIII with
other pesticides (fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, or miticides), additives, or fertilizers. Therefore, •
always determine compatibility before tan mixing this product with any other pesticide.
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.
Filename: HELENA BW-III (5905-575) 082114 CLN.doc j 4
r c
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.
Mixing Order: If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after each component has been added. Maintain
constant agitation during application.
1. Water- Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer tank half full of clean water.
2. Agitation - Maintain constant agitation throughout mixing and application.
3. Product in PVA bags. Place any product contained in water-soluble bags into the mixing tank.
Wait until all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved and the product is evenly mixed in the
spray tank before continuing.
4. Water-dispersible products (such as dry flowables, wettable powders, suspension concentrates,
and suspo-emulsions).
5. Water-soluble products (such as BW III).
6. Emulsifiable concentrates (such as oil concentrate when applicable)
7. Water-soluble additives (such as liquid fertilizers (28-0-0; 32-0-0), when applicable)"
8. Remaining quantity of water.
*lf sprayable fluid fertilizer is used as the carrier.
Always perform the Compatibility Test before mixing into the spray tank. Also, when using a
sprayable fluid fertilizer as the carrier, any product contained in PVA bags must first be completely
dissolved in water before the contents can be added to the fertilizer mix.
V. RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS
• Maximum seasonal use rate: Refer to Table 5:
• Do not make more than two applications per season regardless of individual application rates.
• Preharvest Interval (PHI): Refer to "Food/Feed Crop Specific Information"
• Restricted entry Interval (REI): 48 Hours
• Crop Rotational Restrictions:
The interval between application and planting rotational crop is given below. Always exclude
counting days when the ground is frozen. . Moisture is essential for the degradation of this

VI. FOOD/FEED CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
PASTURES, RANGELAND AND GRASS (HAY, SILAGE)
BW III is directed for use on pasture (including pasture grown for hay), range/and, grass grown for hay
or silage, between crop applications/fallow systems. Conservation Reserve Programs, and general
farmstead (non-cropland only).
Refer to Tables 1 and 2 for rate selection based on targeted weed or brush species. Some weed species
will require tank mixes for adequate control.
Pasture & Rangeland Restrictions:
Retreatments may be made as needed; however;
• Do not make more than 2 applications per year.
• Do not exceed a total of2Y2 pints ofBW III per treated acre during a growing season.
• Minimum of 30 days between applications.
• If grass is to be cut for hay, Agricultural Use requirements for the Worker Protection Standard are
applicable.
Filename: HELENA BW-III (5905-575) 082114 CLN.doc 16
0 C
• 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.
•Do not exceed a combined total of 2.0 pounds a, e. of dicamba per acre per year.
BW III contains 0.125 pounds a.e. of dicamba per pint. When tank mixing with products that contain
dicamba, do not exceed a combined total of 1.0 pound a.e. per acre per application
B W III contain 0.29 pounds a.e. of 2,4-D per pint. When tank mixing with products that contain 2,4-D, do
not exceed a combined total of 4.0 pounds of a.e. per acre per year.
Uses described in this section also pertain to small grains (such as barley, corn, forage, sorghum, oats,
rye, sudangrass, or wheat) grown for pasture, hay and silage only. Newly seeded areas including small
grains grown for pasture or hay, may be injured if rates ofBWIII are greater than 1 % pints per acre are
applied in one application.
In newly established hybrid Bermudagrass, Pangolagrass, and stargrasses (Cynodon spp.) use 1 to 2
pints of BW III per acre to control or suppress weeds after planting vegetative propagules (stolens) of
hybrid bermudagrasses. In addition to the weeds listed in Tables 1 and 2, this rate of BW III will control or
suppress 'annual sedges, broadleaf signalgrass, crabgrass, and goosegrass. Best results will be obtained
if BW III is applied at the germinating stage of weeds. Under favorable conditions, this is usually 7-10
days after planting these grasses. Reduced control can be expected if weeds are allowed to reach 1" in
height before application or if germination of weeds occurs 10 days after application.
Use on bentgrass, susceptible grass pastures (such as carpetgrass, buffalograss, or St. Augustine grass),
lespedeza, wild winter peas, vetch, clover, and alfalfa pastures may result in some degree of plant injury.
When perennial weeds are reaching maturity, mowing and allowing some regrowth will enhance control.
For pasture renovations, wait 3 weeks per 1 Vt pints of BW III used per acre before interseeding or injury
may occur.
If grasses are grown for seed or for seed-down purposes, do not apply aftergrass reaches joint stage.
Grazing and Feeding Non-Lactating Animals: Do not graze non-lactating animals within 7 days of
treatment. Do not permit meat animals being finished for slaughter to graze treated fields within 30 days
of slaughter.
Grazing and Feeding Lactating Animals: Do not graze lactating dairy animals within 7 days of treatment.
Dry hay and Silage : Treated grasses may be harvested for dry hay or silage but do not harvest within 37
days of treatment.
Pasture and Rangeland Tank Mixes
BW III may be applied in tank mixes with one or more of the following herbicides:
Banvel® Dicamba DMA* 2,4-D*
Amber® Clarity® Rave™
"When tank mixing with products that contain either 2,4-D or dicamba, do not exceed the annual per acre
application rate for each active ingredient for that crop.

SORGHUM
Rates and Timings
Apply 2/3 pint of BW III per acre to sorghum in the 3-5 leaf stage (4"-8" tall). For best performance apply
when weeds are small (less than 3" tall).
Applications ofBW III to sorghum during periods of rapid growth may result in temporary leaning of plants
or rolling leaves. These effects are usually outgrown within 10-14 days. Sorghum growing under
conditions of stress such as high moisture, low fertility, and abnormal temperature may be more sensitive
to applications ofBWIII. Do not use surfactants or oils with postemergence applications ofBWIII on
sorghum crops. Do not use BW III if the potential for sorghum injury is not acceptable.
If sorghum is grown for pasture, hay or silage, refer to "Pastures, Range/and and Grass (Hay, Silage)"
under "VI. Food/Feed Crop Specific Information" for livestock grazing and feeding restrictions.
Sorghum Tank Mixes
BW III may be applied in tank mixes with one or more of the following herbicides:
Atrazine Laddock®S-12 Peak®
Basagran® Paramount® Permit®
' Buctril®
Sorghum Restrictions:
• Do not graze or feed treated sorghum forage or silage prior to mature grain stage.
• Do not make more than one postemergence application per growing season.
• Do not permit meat or dairy animals to consume treated crop as fodder or forage for 30 days
following application.
• Do not apply B W III to sorghum grown for seed production.
• Pre-Harvest Interval is 30 days.
• Do not exceed a combined total of 2.0 pounds a.e. of dicamba per acre per year.
BW III contains 0.29 pounds a.i. of2,4-D per pint. When tank mixing with products that contain 2,4-D
ester, do not exceed a combined total of 0.5 pounds a. i. per acre per year.
WHEAT
(Fall and Spring Seeded)
If small grains are grown for pasture or hay only, refer to Pastures, Range/and and Grass (Hay, Silage).
Do not graze or harvest for livestock feed prior to crop maturity.
Do not use BW III in wheat underseeded with legumes.
Early Season Application:
Apply up to 2 pints of BW III per acre to wheat unless using one of the wheat specific programs below.
Early season applications to spring-seeded wheat must be made after tillering and before wheat reaches
the 6-leaf stage.
Early season applications to fall-seeded wheat must be made after tillering and prior to the jointing stage.
Care should be taken in staging early developing wheat varieties such as TAM 107, Madison, or
Wakefield to be certain that the application occurs prior to the jointing stage.
Filename: HELENA BW-/II (5905-575) 082114 CLN.doc j g
c
Specific Use Programs for Fall-Seeded Wheat Only:
Up to 3A pints ofBWIII per acre may be applied on fall-seeded wheat after the wheat begins to tiller for
suppression of perennial weeds, such as field bindweed. Applications may be made in the fall following a
frost but before a killing freeze. Periods of extended stress such as cold and wet weather may enhance
the possibility of crop injury. For fall applications only, do not use if the potential for crop injury is not
acceptable.
Preharvest Applications:
BW III can be used to control weeds that may interfere with harvest of wheat. Apply up to 1 % pints of BW
III per acre as a broadcast or spot treatment to annual broadleaf weeds when wheat is in the hard dough
stage and the green color is gone from the nodes (joints) of the stem. Best results will be obtained if
application can be made when weeds are actively growing but before weeds canopy. A waiting interval of
14 days is required before harvest. Do not use preharvest-treated wheat for seed unless a germination
test is performed on the seed with an acceptable result of 95% germination or better. For control of
additional broadleaf weeds or grasses, BW III may be tank mixed with other herbicides such as Ally or Gly
Star™ Plus that are registered for preharvest use in wheat.
Wheat Restrictions.
• Do not exceed a comine total of 2.0 pounds a.e. of dicamba per acre per year.
• Postemergence:
• Do not make more than one application per crop cycle.
• Do not apply more than 2 pints per acre per application.
• Preharvest:
• Do not make more than one application per crop cycle.
• Do nof apply more than 1 % pints per acre per application.
• Pre-Harvest interval is 14 days.

BW III can be applied postharvest in the fall, spring, or summer during the fallow period or to crop
stubble/set-aside acres. Apply to weeds after crop harvest (postharvest) and before a killing frost or in the
fallow cropland or crop stubble the following spring or summer.
See 'V. Restrictions and Limitations" for the specified interval between application and planting to
prevent crop injury.

Rates and Timings:
Apply 1-3 2/3 pints of BW III per acre. Refer to Table 1 to determine use rates for specific targeted weed
species. Retreatments may be made as needed; however, do not exceed a total of4% pints ofBWIII per
treated acre during a growing season. For best performance, apply BW III when annual weeds are less
than 6" tall, when biennial weeds are in the rosette stage and to perennial weed regrowth in late summer
or fall following a mowing or tillage treatment. The most effective control of upright perennial broadleaf
weeds such as Canada thistle and Jerusalem artichoke occurs if BW III is applied when the majority of
weeds have at least 4-6" of regrowth or for weeds such as field bindweed and hedge bindweed that are in
or beyond the full bloom stage. The addition of liquid fertilizers (28-0-0, 32-0-0) at 1A GPA has shown to
increase efficacy.
Avoid disturbing treated areas following application. Treatments may not kill weeds that develop from
seed or underground plant parts such as rhizomes or bulblets, after the effective period for BW III. For
seedling control, a follow-up program or other cultural practices could be instituted.
Between Crop Tank Mixes:
In tank mixes with one or more of the following herbicides, apply 1.0- 1.25pints of BW III per acre for
control of annual weeds, or 1.25-4.25 pints ofBW III per acre for control of biennial and perennial
weeds.

APPLICATIONS TO FALLOW GROUND PRIOR TO PLANTING COTTON
Rates and Timings
Apply BW III as a broadcast or spot treatment to emerged and actively growing weeds at the rate of 1 to 3
2/3 pints per acre. The most effective control of weeds occurs if application is made when weeds are in
the 2-4 leaf stage and rosettes are less than 2" across.
Filename: HELENA BW-III (5905-575) 082114 CLN.doc . 21
Cropping Restrictions
Do not plant cotton for at least 30 days after application and after allowing for a minimum accumulation of
1" rainfall or overhead irrigation. Do not apply west of the Rockies or to geographic areas with average
annual rainfall less than 25".
Tank Mix Treatments
For control of grasses or additional broadleaf weeds, OUTLA W may be tank mixed with CAPROL®,
GRAMOXONE® Extra, and glyphosate herbicides.
FOREST MANAGEMENT
Do not apply under drip line of desirable trees or adjacent to desirable vegetation.
Do not apply more than 1 gallon of product per acre per year.
Maximum: 1 application per year.
Forest Site Preparation
Budbreak Spray: For control of alder, susceptible broadleaf weeds, and susceptible woody plants before
planting forest seedlings, apply up to 2 quarts per acre in a minimum of 10 gallons spray mixture per acre.
Apply as an oil spray (see "Mixing Instructions") after alder buds break, but before foliage is Y« full size. A
water spray including 2 to 4 quarts per acre of diesel oil, fuel oil, stove oil, or crop oil concentrate may
also be used.
Foliage Spray: To control alder and susceptible woody plants before planting forest seedlings, apply up
to 4 pints per acre in a minimum of 10 gallons spray mixture per acre. If desired, apply as a water spray
including up to 1 quart of diesel oil, fuel oil, stove oil, or crop oil concentrate per gallon of water (see
"Mixing Instructions"). For best results, apply after alder foliage has reached full size.
Conifer Release: Some conifers are more susceptible to BWIII than others. To control alder, susceptible
broadleaf weeds, and susceptible woody plants in young conifer stands, apply up to 2 pints per acre in a
minimum of 10 gallons spray mixture per acre. This spring foliage treatment should be applied as a water
spray when 3/> of the brush foliage has full size leaves and before new conifer growth reaches 2 inches in
length. Such stages usually occur between early May and mid-June, but application timing should be
based on growth stages of brush and conifers. Application may cause leader deformation and other
conifer injury, but trees should overcome it during the next growing season.
To control tanoak, madrone, ceanothus, canyon live oak, and -Manzanita, and to release Douglas fir,
hemlock Sitka spruce or grand fir, apply up to 3 pints per acre in'a minimum of 10 gallons spray mixture
per acre. This spring foliage treatment should be applied as a water spray including, if desired, up to 1
quart of diesel oil, fuel oil, stove oil, or crop oil concentrate per gallon of water (see "Mixing Instructions").
Make application before new growth on Douglas fir is 2 inches long. To release ponderosa pine from the
same species, treat before new pine growth begins in the spring. Addition of oil or oil concentrate may
cause unacceptable injury to pines. For dormant applications in late winter or early spring for control of
susceptible woody species, such as alder, willow, poplars, cherry, vine maple, ceanothus, tanoak,
madrone, and Manzanita, apply up to 3 pints per acre in a minimum of 10 gallons spray mixture (with
diesel oil, etc.) per acre. This dormant treatment should be applied in diesel oil, fuel oil, stove oil, or other
suitable diluent such as water plus-crop oil concentrate (see "Mixing Instructions"). Do not use in
plantations where pine and larch are among the desired crop species.
To control hazel dodder (cuscuta coryli) in the Lake states, apply up to 2 pints per acre in a minimum of
10 gallons spray mixture per acre. Apply as a water spray when new shoot growth of hazel is complete
(usually mid-July).
After conifer species such as white pine, ponderosa pine, jack pine, red pine, black spruce, white spruce,
red spruce, and balsam fir crease growth and harden off and brush is still actively growing in late summer,
Filename: HELENA BW-III (5905-575) 082114 CLN.doc 22
c rV v
apply up to 3 pints per acre in a minimum of 10 gallons water spray mixture per acre. Apply as a water
spray to control certain competing hardwoods such as alder, aspen, birch, hazel and willow. However, if
possible injury cannot be tolerated, do not use since this treatment may cause conifer injury.
Forest Roadsides: To control susceptible broadleaf weeds and woody plants on forest roadsides, apply
1 to 3 pints per acre in a minimum of 10 gallons water spray mixture per acre. Apply as a water spray and,
if necessary to ensure penetration of foliage, include up to 3 quarts per acre of diesel oil, fuel oil, stove oil,
or crop oil concentrate (see "Mixing Instructions").
ROADSIDES: MEDIANS; HIGHWAY, RAILROAD, UTILITY AND PIPELINE RIGHTS-OF-WAY;
VACANT LOTS; AROUND UTILITY INSTALLATIONS, TRANSFORMERS, PUMP HOUSES, AND
BUILDINGS; STORAGE AREAS; FENCES; GUARDRAILS; LUMBER YARDS; INDUSTRIAL SITES;
AIRPORTS; TANK FARMS; FARMSTEADS; AND SIMILAR NONCROP AREAS.
Do not apply under drip line of desirable trees or adjacent to desirable vegetation.
For control of many broadleaf weeds and small woody plants, apply 2/3 to 2 pints per acre diluted in 10
gallons of water. Use the high rate for woody plants. Applications may be as broadcast sprays, small area
sprays or spot treatments. For small areas or spot spraying, use 2 fluid ounces per gallon of water and
spray weeds to runoff. Regardless of the method of application, use adequate spray volume for full
coverage of weeds. Preferred application timing is in the early spring when sufficient weeds have
emerged, and when weeds are small and actively growing, but before weeds exceed size limits described
in weed tables. Summer applications to older, drought-stressed weeds are less effective. However,
weeds are more susceptible again in the fall when cooler, wetter conditions support active growth before
a killing frost. For fall treatment of mature weeds or perennial weed regrowth, use up to 1.0 pints per acre
diluted in 10 gallons of water. Several seasons of spring plus fall treatments may be necessary to control
certain perennials. Use of oil sprays or the addition of spray adjuvants improves weed control, but also
increases the risk of damage to desirable ground covers.
Plant Response: Bent grass, other warm season or southern grasses, alfalfa, clover, or other legumes
may be killed or injured. Do not apply when grass is in boot to milk stage, or after heading begins, if grass
production is desired. Do not apply to newly seeded areas until grass is well established. Do not reseed
for at least 30 days following application.
CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAMS AND GENERAL FARMSTEAD
BW III is directed for use for Conservation Reserve Programs, general farmstead (non-cropland only),
weed and brush control, or use in State Recognized Noxious Weed areas (non-cropland areas).
Refer to Tables 1 and 2 for rate selection based on targeted weed or brush species. Some weed species
will require tank mixes for adequate control.
Retreatments may be made as needed; however, do not exceed a total of 4 % pints ofBW III per treated -
acre during a growing season.
Restriction : Do not make more than 2 applications per year. Minimum of 30 days between applications.
For control of annual and perennial weeds, do not make more than 2 applications per year with a
minimum of 30 days between applications. For control of woody plants, do not make more than 1
application per year.
Farmstead and Fence-row Treatment Application Instructions
BW III may be applied using water or oil and water emulsions in spot application to control undesirable
vegetation using handgun or similar types of application equipment. In addition to weed species listed in
Tables 1 and 2, these treatments may be used to control or suppress woody plant species listed in Table
7.
Filename: HELENA BW-/II (5905-575) 082114 CLN.doc . 23
c r
To prepare soil and water emulsions, mix in the order and proportions indicated below.
The solution should remain milky colored without an oily layer on top when under agitation. If an oily layer
forms, increase the amount of emulsifier or change to a more effective emulsifier.
Do not exceed 40 gallons of spray solution per treated acre per application. One gallon ofBW III in forty
gallons of spray solution contains 1.0 pounds acid equivalent ofdicamba and 2.3 pounds acid equivalent
of 2,4-D. Spray plants to wet. Do not allow this spray mix to contact desirable vegetation.
To control brush, briars, and weeds along fence-rows surrounding pasture and ranch lands, and fallow
fields, use a tank mix of 1.5% BW III, 88.5% water, 10% diesel oil, and sufficient emulsifier (to mix the
diesel and emulsifier). The diesel oil in this tank mix will damage or kill desirable grasses and should not
be used in pastures or where damage to desirable species cannot be tolerated.
1. Water: Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer tank with the desired quantity of clean
water. Maintain constant agitation during complete mixing procedure.
2. Emulsifier: Add 0.5% volume to volume of water.
3. BW III: Add 1.5 gallons per 100 gallons of total intended solution.
4. Diesel Oil: Add 10 gallons per 100 gallons of total intended solution.
Maintain constant agitation during application. Under good agitation, the spray solution should be milky
white with no oil layer on top. If oil layer forms, increase the amount of emulsifier or change to a more
effective emulsifier.
For Spraying Foliar Applications
1. Spray when leaves have reached full size but have not hardened due to drought or maturity.
2. Spray individual plants to wet with handgun.
3. For larger stems (up to 3" in diameter) and hard to control species, direct spray stream to base of
stems to wet the stem at soil surface in addition to wetting the foliage.
4. Do not apply under drip line of desirable trees or adjacent to desirable vegetation.
For Dormant Basal Applications
1. Increase diesel oil content to 15% or 15 gallons of diesel oil per 100 gallons of total solution.
2. Spray in late winter and early spring before plants break dormancy.
3. Spray the bottom 24" of the target stem to wet on all sides.
4. For larger stems (up to 3" in diameter) and hard to kill species direct the spray solution to the
base of target stems to wet the soil at the stem/soil junction in addition to wetting the stem.
5. Do not apply under drip line of desirable trees or adjacent to desirable vegetation.
For Cut Surface Treatments
Apply BW III in an undiluted state as a cut surface treatment to control unwanted trees and prevent
sprouts of cut trees.
• Frill or Girdle Treatments: Make a continuous cut or a series of overlapping cuts using an axe to girdle
tree trunk. Spray or paint the cut surface with BW III.
• Stump Treatments: Spray or paint freshly cut surface with BW III. The cambium layer (the area
adjacent to the bark) should be thoroughly wet. Treat stumps within 6 hours after cutting.
• Basal spray, Cut Surface (stumps and frill): Limit of one basal spray or cut surface application per year.

SOD FARMS
For best results, do not mow turf 1 to 2 days before or after application. Turf watering should be delayed
until the day after application. Do not apply to newly seeded areas until grass is well established and has
been mowed several times. A period of about 30 days after application is usually a sufficient interval
before reseeding. Seeding a small area and observing response is recommended before large scale
seeding.
Cool Season Grasses:
To control many emerged broadleaf weeds in cool season turfgrasses such as tall fescue, • bluegrass, or
perennial ryegrass, apply 1.0 - 4.0 pints per acre. Apply when weeds are small and actively growing
under good moisture conditions. Do not use on centipede, carpetgrass, St. Augustine, bentgrass, or
Dichondra turf, or where desirable clovers are present.
Restrictions:
• Do not use on creeping grasses such as bentgrass except as a spot treatment.
• Do not use on injury-sensitive southern grasses such as St. Augustinegrass.
• Do not use on dichondra or other herbaceous ground covers. Legumes may be damaged or killed.
Precautions:
• Reseeding: Delay reseeding at least 30 days following application. Preferably, with spring application,
reseed in the fall and with fall application, reseed in the spring.
• Use sufficient spray solution for thorough and uniform coverage, and no less than 2 gallons per acre.
Sod Farm Restrictions:
• Do not apply more than 4 pints product (1.2 Ibs ae) per acre per application.
• . Do not make more than 2 applications per year (excluding spot treatments).
• Minimum spray interval between broadcast applications is 21 days.
BW III contains 0.3 pounds a.e. of 2,4-D per pint. When tank mixing with products that contain 2,4-D, do
not exceed a combined total of 4.0 pounds of a.e. per acre per year excluding spot treatments.
ORNAMENTAL AND RECREATIONAL TURFGRASSES.LAWNS,
GOLF COURSES (Fairways, Aprons, Tees, and Roughs), PARKS AND CEMETERIES
Refer to "Turf Use Requirements" in the "Non-Agricultural Use Requirements" section. For best results,
do not mow turf 1 to 2 days before or after application. Turf watering should be delayed for at least 1 hour
after application. Avoid contacting desirable trees, shrubs, flowers or vegetables since plant injury may
result. Do not apply to newly seeded areas until grass is well established and has been mowed several
times. A period of about 30 days after application is usually.a sufficient interval before reseeding grasses
(or other plants). Seeding a small area and observing response is recommended before large scale
seeding.
Cool Season Grasses: To control many emerged broadleaf weeds in cool season turfgrasses such as
tall fescue, bluegrass, or perennial ryegrass, apply 2.0-3.0 pints per acre (0.75 to 1.0 fluid ounces per
1,000 square feet). Preferred application timing for broadcast treatment is in the early spring when small
weeds have emerged and are actively growing under good moisture conditions. For very weedy turf, a
follow-up broadcast or spot application may be needed from 2 to 4 weeks later. Summer applications are
typically spot treatments of individual weeds that have emerged after a spring broadcast treatment. In the
fall when cooler, wetter conditions favor active weed growth, broadcast application may be appropriate for
very weedy turf, such as an area that had no spring broadcast treatment. Do not use on centipede,
carpetgrass, St. Augustine, bentgrass or Dichondra turf, or where desirable clovers are present.
