GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION 
Most cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy 
herbicides such as 2,4-0 have been associated with mixinglloading 
and disposal sites. Caution should be exercised when handling 2,4-0 
pesticides at such sites to prevent contamination of groundwater 
supplies. Use of closed systems for mixing or transfening this 
pesticide will reduce the probability of spills. Placement of the 
mixinglloading equipment on an impervious pad to contain spills will 
help prevent groundwater contamination. 
PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS 
Do not use, pour, spill or store near heat or open flame.

OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS 
Avoid applications of spray or drift of spray to desirable plants, as this 
product may injure cotton, tomatoes, beans, peas, most vegetables, 
ornamentals, grapes or others. Even minute quantities of the spray 
may cause severe injury. Accordingly, application by airplanes 
should be made only when there is no hazard from drift. All sprays 
are likely to drift under certain conditions. The finer the spray, the 
greater the likelihood of drift effect. Coarse sprays are less likely to 
drift. 
Use only amount needed. DO NOT OVERDOSE. 
Be sure that airplane spraying equipment has a quick-acting, 
effective cutoff valve, and is used from the lowest possible altitude by 
an aircraft operator experienced in the application of herbicides. 
Do not use same equipment for other purposes. If necessary to use 
sprayer for any other spraying, be sure to thoroughly clean all 
equipment with a suitable chemical cleaner. (1 qt. of household 
ammonia in 20 to 25 gals. water - let stand overnight, then rinse 
thoroughly with water) 
FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY 
Always mix with water, so as to apply the recommended amount of 
2,4-0 Amine per acre in the amount of water necessary to cover an 
acre of ground with the spraying equipment used. 
Apply 2,4-0 sprays at low pressures of approximately 30 to 50 
pounds, with nozzles adjusted to give a coarse, wetting spray 
consisting of large droplets. . 
For best results apply 2,4-0 sprays when soil and climatic conditions 
are conducive to rapid plant growth. This product may be applied 
when temperatures range from 50' to 95'; results may be 
unsatisfactory below 65' and above 90'. Sprays applied under 
adverse conditions (abnormally cool or hot and dry weather or when 
weeds are near maturity) should contain maximum recommended 
dosage. Under such conditions, control results may not always be 
entirely satisfactory.

The recommendations given are general. Because of varietal and 
local conditions, consult Agricultural Experiment Station or Extension 
Service weed specialists.

required will depend upon the crop and type of equipment used. 
Thorough agitation of spray mixture is necessary for best results. 
TO CONTROL WEEDS IN RESISTANT CROPS 
2,4-D Amine is a selective water soluble herbicide for the control of 
susceptible broadleaf weeds in growing small grain crops, com, 
sugar cane, pastures, lawns, and turf. 
The following dosages are suggested on growing crops for the 
control of susceptible weeds such as mustard, sunflower, lambs· 
quarters, pigweed, ragweed, dock, cocklebur, sow thistle, marsh 
elder, and many other species. Perennial weeds are best when In 
bud or in ea~y bloom stage of growth. 
WHEAT, OATS, BARLEY AND RYE· 2,4-D sprays applied during 
seedling stage of growth may reduce yields. When crop plants are 
tillering (stooling), use Yo to 1 pint of 2,4·D Amine per acre and 1 to 
1 Yo pints per acre when fully tillered (stooled) • but before the ea~y 
boot stage. 
Sprays containing 2 to 3 pints per acre may be applied as an 
emergency weed control measure when seed in heads is past dough 
stage. 
When small grain is underseeded with a legume such as alfalfa or 
clovers, use Y. to Yo pint of 2,4-D Amine per acre while the small 
grain is between tiller and boot stage. The legumes are less likely to . 
be injured if a small grain foliage canopy is allowed to develop before 
application is made. Apply the lowest gallonage possible at low 
pressure in order to reduce penetration of the canopy with the spray. 
For Spring Wheat'and Durum, this product can be used when the 
crop is in the three leaf stage but before the booting stage. 
Consult your local authorities: Fall applications of 2,4·D in crops are 
not recommended. Do not forage or graze treated grain fields within 
two weeks after treatment with 2,4-0. Do not feed treated straw to 
livestock. 
CORN AND SORGHUM· Crop varieties vary in susceptibility to 
injury. 2,4-D sprays may cause some injury to stalks such as lodging, 
bending, and brittleness. Plants generally recover from lodging or 
bending. Stalks may remain brittle 5 to 7 days, during which time 
they are subject to breakage by high winds and cultivation. Avoid 
. tf/(; 
cultivating while this condition prevails. Injury is most likely when crop 
is growing rapidly. 
Spray 1 pint of 2,4·D Amine per acre as soon as majority of weeds 
are actively growing. Do not apply 2,4·0 sprays from tasseling to 
dough stage. Use extension nozzles to direct sprays away from the 
leaves of com and sorghum that are 8 inches or more high. 
RICE· To control Cu~y Indigo, Coffeeweed and other broadleaved 
weeds in rice, apply 2,4-D Amine at 1 to 2·112 pints per acre any time 
after rice is well tillered but before the joining or boot stage (4 to 8 
weeks after emergence; or where flooded, treated between 7 and 9 
weeks after seeding, when plants have emerged above water and 
leaves are standing erect). Rice plants are sensitive to 2,4·0 in the 
ea~y seedling, boot and ea~y heading stages; avoid applications of 
2,4·0 Amine during these stages of growth. Avoid drift to cotton or 
other 2,4·0 susceptible crops. 
SUGAR CANE· Apply 2,4-0 Amine at 1 or 2 quarts per acre when 
cane is 1 to 2 feet tall to control broadleaf weeds. 
TO CONTROL WEEDS ON NON·CROPPED AREAS 
Fence rows, vacant lots, around buildings 
Apply sprays containing 2 to 4 pints of 2,4·0 Amine per acre (or 2 to 
3 quarts of 2,4-0 Amine in 100 gallons of water) for control of most 
broadleaf weeds. Use higher dosage to control more resistant 
weeds. Sufficient spray should be used to thoroughly wet all the 
weed foliage. Spray when weeds are growing actively. Deep rooted 
perennial weeds such as Bindweed, Canada Thistle, Hoary Cress, 
and Poison Ivy may require 4 to 6 pints per acre and repeat 
application may be necessary as new growth appears. 
TO CONTROL WEEDS ON PASTURE, GOLF COURSES, 
PARKS, CEMETERIES, AND LARGE TURF AREAS 
For each application apply sprays containing 2 to 3 pints of 2,4-D 
Amine per acre per site for control of most broadleaf weeds. Use 
higher rate where perennial broadleaf weeds are the major problems. 
Spray when seeds are growing actively. Seedling grasses should not 
be sprayed until root systems are established and sod has been 
fonned. Some injury to clover, creeping bent, carpet grass and St. 
Augustine grass may occur. Keep dairy animals off treated areas for 
7 days. Do not cut grass for hay for 30 days after treatment. Do not 
slaughter for meat animals for 3 days after treatment. For use in 
hand sprayers, mix 1·112 to 2 teaspoons of 2,4-0 Amine per gallon of 
water. Wet all foliage thoroughly. 
NOTES FOR ALL TURF SITES: 
The maximum number of broadcast applications per treatment site is 
2 per year.
