|
||
GENERAL INFORMATION
|
||
ETI 114 01 H is a water-dispersible gra~ule for selective p6stemergence grass weed control in field corn
|
||
grown for seed or grain, popcorn and sweet corn and may be applied to field corn, high lysine, waxy,
|
||
. white or other food grade corn hybrids. This product provides weed control via foliar absorption and only
|
||
controls those weeds that have emerged. ETI 114 01 H is to be used at a rate 1/3 to 1-1/3 ounces per
|
||
2
|
||
|
||
c
|
||
acre. Do not make more than two applications of ETI 114 01 H in a single cropping season and the
|
||
combined dosage of sequential applications must not exceed 1-1/3 ounces per acre.
|
||
WHEN TO APPLY - NORMAL PLANNED USE .
|
||
Research indicates best results are obtained when applications are made early postemergence when
|
||
corn and weeds are small. Target applications to corn that is less than 12" tall for best overall
|
||
performance. ETI 114 01 H may be broadcast to corn that is either up to 20" tall (free standing) or that is
|
||
exhibiting up to and including 6 leaf collars (V6), whichever is more restrictive. .
|
||
TIMING TO WEEDS
|
||
ETI 114 01 H should be applied when grasses are young and actively growing but before they exceed the
|
||
sizes indicated in Table 1. Heavy infestations of weeds should be treated before they become too
|
||
competitive with the crop, especially when fertility and 1 or soil moisture are limited. A second application
|
||
or a timely cultivation is required for later-emerging weeds. Unsatisfactory control may result if
|
||
applications are made to weeds under stress or to weeds larger than the size indicated in this label.
|
||
Refer to the LATE OR RESCUE APPLICATIONS section for more information.
|
||
LATE OR RESCUE APPLICATIONS
|
||
ETI 114 01 H may be applied as a rescue treatment for the control of escaped grasses in field corn, or as
|
||
a directed postemergence application on corn that has more than 6 collars or that is taller than 20"
|
||
(whichever occurs first).
|
||
• For corn that is 20" - 36" tall: Apply ETI 114 01 H using drop nozzles ONLY and avoid spraying
|
||
into the whorl of cornstalks.
|
||
• Do NOT apply to crop that is taller than 36" or that exhibits 10 or more collars (V10), whichever is
|
||
most restrictive.
|
||
Control for applications made to weeds larger than those . listed on this label may vary from suppression to
|
||
complete control with the level of control depending on the weed species, stage of growth, and
|
||
environmental conditions. .
|
||
Because rescue applications are typically unplanned, choices must be made between the risks that arise
|
||
from applications made outside of the optimal timeframe for ETI 114 01 H use and the effects of harvest
|
||
complications and / or season long grass competition. The risks from improperly timed ETI 11401 H use
|
||
that should be considered include, but are not limited to:
|
||
Yield Loss Due to Competition: Research indicates that corn yields may be reduced by competition from
|
||
foxtail exceeding 4 inches in height. The risk of yield losses due to prolonged competition with the crop
|
||
even though control may be acceptable may increase if applications are made to foxtail and other annual
|
||
grasses that exceed the size stated on the label.
|
||
Incomplete Control of Grasses Beyond Labeled Size:. Reduced corn yield may result when applications
|
||
are made to grasses that exceed the labeled sizes due to reduced control of the grasses.
|
||
Incomplete Grass Control Due To Herbicide Stress: Reduced control of grasses under stress from
|
||
previous herbicide applications may result due to the stressed grasses not be actively growing, therefore
|
||
reducing susceptibility to ETI 11401 H in rescue situations.
|
||
Ear Malformation: The potential for ear malformation (pinching) increases when ETI 114 01 H is applied
|
||
to corn that has 7 to 10 collars (V7 to V10). This risk may be greatly reduced, but not eliminated, by using
|
||
drop nozzles properly adjusted so as to not apply ETI 11401 H into the corn whorl.
|
||
RATE
|
||
For weeds in the size ranges listed below, optimum control is obtained using 2/3 ounces of ETI 114 01 H
|
||
per acre. Weeds exceeding the listed by up to 50% may be partially controlled with rates between 2/3
|
||
and 1-1/3 ounces of ETI114 01 H per acre.
|
||
For limited control of certain small grass weeds, ETI 114 01 H may be applied at rates of 1/3 to 2/3
|
||
ounces. For more information, refer to Table 2 under ADDITIONAL RECOMMEDATIONS.
|
||
Due to drought or other environmental factors, grassy weeds may not reach the sizes listed below as they
|
||
mature (more than 3 tillers). Because weed sensitivity to ETI 114 01 H decreases as weeds mature,
|
||
stressed weeds that are maturing rapidly should be treated before they reach the stages listed below.

Popcorn, Field Corn Grown for Seed and Sweet Corn
|
||
ETI 114 01 H may be applied to field corn grown for seed or popcorn that exhibits up to and including 5
|
||
leaf-collars (V5) or that is less than 20" tall (free-standing), whichever is most restrictive. Do NOT apply to
|
||
corn that exhibits more than 5 leaf-collars (V5) or that is taller than 20" (whichever is more restrictive).
|
||
Make either a broadcast application or apply with drop nozzles.
|
||
ETI 114 01 H has been tested on seed corn inbreds or yellow popcorn hybrids for sensitivity by many
|
||
seed companies and excellent safety has been reported. Unless specifically approved by the seed
|
||
company, do NOT apply ETI 114 01 H to any white popcorn inbred or white popcorn hybrid (including
|
||
"White Dynamite" popcorn).
|
||
4
|
||
|
||
(
|

'.
|
||
A single application (per year) of ETI 114 01 H may be applied to certain sweet corn hybrids grown for
|
||
fresh markets or under contract for processing. Apply broadcast or with drop nozzles (post-directed) on
|
||
sweet corn up to 12 inches tall or up to and including Sleaf-collars (VS). For sweet corn 12-18 inches tall,
|
||
apply using drop nozzles only. Do NOT apply to sweet corn taller than 18 inches or that has 6 or more
|
||
leaf-collars (V6).
|
||
Because not all sweet corn hybrids have been tested for crop tolerance and hybrid sensitivity to ETI 114
|
||
01 H is highly variable, contact your Etigra Sales Representative. for information on local sweet corn
|
||
hybrids that have been·evaluated with ETI 11401 H. . ( .
|
||
Additionally, because not all seed corn inbreds, popcorn or sweet corn hybrids have been tested, nor
|
||
does Etigra have access to all seed company data, Etigra is not responsible for any crop injury arising'
|
||
from the use of ETI 11401 H on field corn grown for seed, popcorn or sweet corn.
|
||
Be sure to check tank mix partner label(s) for tolerances and instructions for use when tank mixing.
|
||
When applying ETI114 01 H to popcorn, sweet corn or field corn grown for seed that has been previously
|
||
treated with a soil insecticide, be sure to refer,to the SOIL INSECTICIDE INTERACTION INFORMATION
|
||
section for additional information.
|
||
Spray Adjuvants
|
||
ETI 114 01 H must be applied with either a crop oil concentrate or a nonionic surfactant. Additionally, an
|
||
ammonium nitrogen fertilizer must be used unless specifically prohibited by tank mix partner labeling. For
|
||
difficult to control species such a woolly cupgrass, quackgrass, sandbur, and wirestem muhly, crop oil
|
||
concentrate plus ammonium nitrogen fertilizer is the preferred adjuvant system. Prior to using other
|
||
adjuvant systems, consult your local Etigra representative. If another herb'icide is tank mixed with ETI 114
|
||
01 H, be sure to select adjuvants authorized for use with both products. Products must contain only EPA
|
||
exempt ingredients (40 CFR 1001).
|
||
Crop Oil Concentrate (COC)- Petroleum or Modified Seed Oil (MSO)
|
||
• Apply at 1% v/v (1 gallon per 100 gallons spray solution) or, under arid conditions, 2% v/v. If
|
||
specified in an Etigra product bulletin, MSO adjuvants may be used at O.S% v/v.
|
||
• If specifically noted on adjuvant product labeling, MSO adjuvants may be used at O.S% v/v (O.S
|
||
gallons per 100 gallons spray solution).
|
||
• A COC adjuvant must contain at least 80% high quality petroleum (mineral) or modified vegetable
|
||
seed oil with at least 1S% surfactant emulsifiers.
|
||
Nonionic Surfactant (NIS)
|
||
• Apply at 0,2S% vlv (1 quart per 100 gallons spray solution) or, under arid conditions, O.S% v/v.
|
||
• Use a surfactant with a hydrophilic / lipophilic balance (HLB) greater than 12.
|
||
Ammonium Nitrogen Fertilizer
|
||
• Use 2 pounds per acre of a spray-grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) or 2 quarts per acre of high
|
||
quality urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) such as 28%N or 32% N. Under arid conditions, use 4
|
||
quarts per acre UAN or 4 pounds per acre AMS.
|
||
• Do NOT use liquid nitrogen fertilizer as the total carrier solution.
|
||
Special Adjuvant Types
|
||
• Combination adjuvant products may be used at doses that provide the required amount of NIS,
|
||
COC, MSO andlor ammonium nitrogen fertilizer. Consult product literature for use rates and
|
||
restrictions.
|
||
• Other adjuvant types may be used if they provide the same functionality and have been evaluated
|
||
and approved by Etigra.
|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
1. Fill the tank 14 to 1/3 full of water.
|
||
2. Begin agitation and add the recommended amount of ETI 11401 H.
|
||
3, Continue agitation until the ETI 11401 H is fully dispersed (at least S minutes).
|
||
4, Once fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling the tank with water. As the tank is
|
||
filling, add the required spray adjuvants (crop oil concentrate, nonionic surfactant, or ammonium
|
||
nitrogen fertilizer). Before adding any other material (other than spray adjuvants), be sure to
|
||
thoroughly mix the ETI114 01 H with the water.
|
||
S
|
||
|
||
5. Settling will occur if the mixture is not continuously agitated. Thoroughly re-agitate prior to using if
|
||
settling occurs.
|
||
6. To avoid product degradation, apply ETI 11401 H spray mixture within 24 hours of mixing.
|
||
NOTE: If ETI 11401 H and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, pre-slurry the ETI114
|
||
01 H in clean water prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with
|
||
the dissolution of the ETI 11401 H.
|
||
WHEN TO APPLY· SEQUENTIAL APPLICATIONS FOLLOWING REDUCED RATES OF
|
||
PREEMERGENCE HERBICIDES
|
||
ETI 114 01 H may be used in a planneq postemergence weed control program in corn as a sequential
|
||
application following a reduced rate of a preemergence herbicide. Prior to corn emergence, apply a
|
||
reduced rate of preemergence grass herbicide and then follow with a postemergence application of ETI
|
||
11401 H.
|
||
Products such as DuPont CINCH®, CINCH® ATZ, Balance® Pro, Axiom®, Dual® II, Magnum, Surpass®,
|
||
Outlook® and Harness® Xtra may be applied at rates as low as y.. to % of the full labeled use rate,
|
||
followed with a sequential postemergence application of ETI 114 01 H. Prior to applying ETI 114 01 H,
|
||
refer to the preemergence grass herbicide label for application information, rotational crop guidelines,
|
||
cautionary statements and use restrictions.

TANK MIX APPLICATIONS - For additional control of broad leaf weeds
|
||
For additional control of broad leaf weeds, ETI 114 01 H may be tank mixed with many herbicides
|
||
registered for postemergence application in corn. Refer to the tank mix partner label for weeds
|
||
controlled, adjuvant and crop rotation information, precautions and use restrictions. When tank mixing,
|
||
be sure to apply the most restrictive language on either label.
|
||
In addition to the tank mixtures noted above, for improved control of many broadleaf weeds (including
|
||
cocklebur, dandelion, Eastern black nightshade, lambsquarters, pigweeds, ragweeds, PA smartweed and

better control. .
|
||
For improved grass and broad leaf weed control, ETI 114 01 Htank mixtures with 1.5 ounces of Callisto®
|
||
(with or without atrazine) may be applied with 0.5% v/v MSOspray adjuvant. When tank mixing ETI114
|
||
01 H with more than 1.5 ounces Callisto®, do NOT use a MSO adjuvant; use a petroleum-based crop oil
|
||
concentration plus an ammonium nitrogen fertilizer.
|
||
For Additional Control of Later Emerging Grasses
|
||
For residual activity on later-emerging flushes or grass, ETI 114 01 H may be tank mixed with full or
|
||
reduced rates of preemergence grass herbicides labeled for early postemergence application to field
|
||
corn (such as DuPont™ CINCH®, CINCH® ATZ, Prowl®, Surpass® EC, Dual® " Magnum, or Outlook®).
|
||
Application MUST be made before the grass emerges and before.other grass weeds on the ETI 11401 H
|
||
label exceed their labeled sizes.
|
||
When applications are made early postemergence to small grass weeds, a non ionic surfactant in place of
|
||
crop oil concentrate is recommended for tank mixtures with preemergence grass herbicides. Refer to the
|
||
SPRAY ADJUVANTS section for adjuvant rate recommendations.
|
||
Do NOT add Callisto® herbicide to the tank mixture when tank mixing ETI 114 01 H with EC formulated
|
||
preemergence grass herbicides (such as DuPont™ CINCH®, Dual® " Magnum, or Prowl®). When other
|
||
formulations of preemergence grass herbicides are tank mixed with ETI 114 01 H + Callisto® (such as
|
||
CINCH® ATZ or Bicep" Magnum): limit broadleaf weed sizes to less than or equal to 4" tall, limit the
|
||
preemergence herbicide rates to 2/3 times full rates, and always add a non ionic surfactant in place of
|
||
crop oil concentrate. .
|
||
When tank mixing ETI 114 01 H with Lumax® herbicide: limit applications to corn up to 5" tall, limit
|
||
Lumax® rates to no more than 2 pints, always add a non ionic surfactant in place of crop oil concentrates,
|
||
and omit adjuvants containing ammonium nitrogen fertilizer.
|
||
NOTE: ETI 114 01 Hand preemergencegrass herbicide tank mixes MUST be broadcast applied
|
||
postemergence to field corn before the crop exceeds the heights listed on the preemergence grass
|
||
herbicide label. For complete postemergence application information, rates,and restrictions, refer to the
|
||
WHEN TO APPLY - POSTEMERGENCE section and the preemergence grass herbicide label.

TANK MIXTURES WITH INSECTICIDES
|
||
ETI 114 01 H may be tank mixed with pyrethroid or carbamate insecticides. Refer to the SOIL
|
||
INSECTICIDE INTERACTION section for information on using ETI 114 01 H following soil insecticide
|
||
applications.
|
||
Other Tank Mixtures
|
||
Other than the exceptions noted, in addition to the tank mix partners .and rates indicated above, other
|
||
products registered for use in corn may be tank mixed or sequential applications of full or reduced rates
|
||
applied following a ETI 11401 H application as long as:
|
||
• The tank mixture is not specifically prohibited in the label of the tank mix product.
|
||
• The tank mix product has the same adjuvants, method of application, timing, and use restrictions as
|
||
ET111401H.
|
||
• The tank mix combination is compatible as determined by the jar test described in the TANK MIX
|
||
COMPATIBILITY TESTING section below.
|
||
NOTE: Weed control and crop response with tank mixtures not specifically recommended in this label are
|
||
the responsibility of the user and manufacturer of the tank mix product.
|
||
Tank Mix Precautions
|
||
Unless the label of either tank mix partner specifies the maximum rate that may be used, do NOT tank
|
||
mix ETI 11401 H with other products that contain the same active ingredient (nicosulfuron).
|
||
Do NOT exceed labeled application rates.
|
||
A corn plant's predisposition to develop fused tissue emerging form the whorl (rattail) after the V-11 stage
|
||
may increase·if tank mixes or products containing dicamba (e.g., Clarity®, Marksman®) that are applied to
|
||
small corn under early stressful conditions. Refer to the ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS section for a
|
||
description of these stressful conditions.
|
||
To avoid crop injury or antagonism, apply the following products at least seven days prior-to or three days
|
||
after the application of ETI 114 01 H:
|
||
• Tank mixes of ETI 11401 H with Basagran® and Laddok® may result in severe crop injury.
|
||
• Tank mixing ETI 114 01 H with products containing 2,4-D may result in severe grass control
|
||
antagonism. .
|
||
• Tank mixing ETI 114 01 H with foliar-applied organophosphate insecticides (e.g., Lorsban®,·
|
||
malathion, parathion, etc.) may result in severe crop injury.
|
||
Tank Mix Compatibility Testing
|
||
To ensure ETI 114 01 H with other tank mix partners, perform the following jar test prior to mixing:
|
||
1) Mix the tank mix ingredients using their relative proportions in a clear glass quart jar with a lid.
|
||
2) Invert the jar containing the mixture several times and observe the mixture for approximately Y2
|
||
hour.
|
||
3) If the mixture balls-up, layers, or forms flakes, sludges,· gels, oily films or other preCipitates, the
|
||
tank mix combination is not compatible and should not be used.
|
||
SEQUENTIAL ETI114 01 H APPLICATIONS
|
||
To control grasses under the following conditions, a sequential application of ETI114 01 H may be
|
||
necessary:
|
||
• Perennial grasses that regrow from underground stems or roots, depending upon environmental
|
||
condWons. .
|
||
• Regrowth of treated annual grasses due to adverse environmental conditions following applications.
|
||
• Annual grasses that have more than one flush of emerging seedlings.
|
||
In a single season, the combined dosage of all sequential applications must not exceed 1 1/3 ounces per
|
||
acre of ETI 11401 H.
|
||
Cultivation
|
||
9
|
||
|
||
c (
|
||
A timely cultivation may be necessary to control suppressed weeds or weeds that emerge after an
|
||
application of ETI 11401 H. For best results, cultivate 7-14 days after ETI114 01 H is applied or as soon
|
||
as new weeds are beginning to be established. .
|
||
Environmental Conditions and Biological Activity
|
||
ETI 11401 H provides best results when applied to young actively growing weeds. For best results, apply
|
||
during war.m, moist conditions (i.e., 70°F or more) with· adequate soil moisture both before and after
|
||
application. Weed spectrum and size, spray coverage, growing conditions before and after treatment, soil
|
||
moisture, and adjuvant selection are all factors that will affect the degree and duration of control.
|
||
ETI 11401 H is rainfast in 4 hours after application.
|
||
If weeds that are under stress or that exceed the maximum label height are treated, incomplete control
|
||
may result. Crop injury or poor weed control may result from applications made to plants under stress
|
||
from: .
|
||
• Carryover from a previous year's herbicide application or prior herbicide applications
|
||
• Weather that is abnormally cold or hot
|
||
• Environmental conditions such as hail damage, drought, water-saturated soils or frost
|
||
• Injury caused by insects, nematodes, or disease
|
||
Severe stress from conditions preceding or immediately following application may also result in crop injury
|
||
or poor weed control. This stress issue affects all weeds, but especially weeds such as woolly cupgrass,
|
||
green and yellow foxtail and wild proso millet. '
|
||
When the corn or grass weeds are under stress, delay the application until the stress passes and both
|
||
weeds and corn resume active growth.
|
||
Soil Insecticide Interaction Information
|
||
Crop response varies with insecticide used, insecticide application method, field corn type and soil type.
|
||
Because ETI 114 01 H may interact with certain insecticides previously applied to the crop, be sure to
|
||
verify that ETI114 01 H is compatible with any insecticides previously applied prior to use.
|
||
Do NOT app!?, ETI 114 01 H to corn previously treated with Counter® 15G or to corn treated at cultivation
|
||
with Counter 20CR over the row or in-furrow.
|
||
Regardless of soil type, ETI 114 01 H may be ap~lied to corn previously treated with non
|
||
organophosphate (OP) soil insecticides or Fortress®, Aztec or Force® insecticides.
|
||
UnacceRtable crop inju~ may occur if applications of ETI 114 01 H to corn previously treated with
|
||
Counter® 20CR, Lorsban , or Thimet® may occur, especially on soils of less than 4% organic matter.
|
||
Crop Rotation
|
||
The amount of ETI 114 01 H which may be present in the soil depends on application rate, soil pH and
|
||
organic matter content, elapsed time since application, crop production practices, and environmental
|
||
factors. ETI 11401 H dissipates rapidly in warm, acidic, microbiologically active soils.
|
||
Rotational crops vary in their response to low concentrations of ETI 114 01 H remaining in the soil, and if
|
||
dry weather prevails between application and rotational crop planting in cold, high-pH soils, injury to
|
||
rotational crops may occur. For additional guidelines, consult your local Etigra representative.
|
||
Because soil pH varies within fields recropping should be based on the highest soil pH within each field.
|
||
Soil pH should be determined on representative soil samples taken at 0-4" depth by laboratory analysiS
|
||
using the 1:1 soil:water suspension method. For recommended soil sampling procedures, consult local
|
||
extension publications. .
|
||
When using ETI 11401 H at a maximum rate of 1 1/3 ounces, the following rotational intervals should be

APPLICATION INFORMATION
|
||
USE PRECAUTIONS
|
||
• Do NOT apply ETI114 01 H through any type of irrigation system.
|
||
• All direct or indirect contact (such as spray drift) with crops other than field corn should be
|
||
avoided because many crops are highly sensitive to ETI 114 01 H (refer to SPRAY DRIFT
|
||
MANAGEMENT).
|
||
• Use 50-mesh or larger strainer screens.
|
||
GROUND APPLICATION
|
||
Broadcast Application -
|
||
• For best results, use a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre (15 GPA).
|
||
• For light, scattered stands of weeds use a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre (GPA).
|
||
• To minimize spray drift and for optimal product performance, adjust the spray boom to the lowest
|
||
possible spray height recommended in manufacturers' specifications:
|
||
• Select nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets, for example, as indicated in
|
||
nozzle manufacturer's catalogues and in accordance with ASAE Standard S572. Nozzles that
|
||
deliver COARSE spray droplets may be used to reduce drift, provided spray volume is increased
|
||
to main coverage on small Weeds.
|
||
• Be sure that equipment is setup to avoid applying excessive amounts directly over the rows and
|
||
into the corn plant whorl (most likely to occur ~hen a nozzle is positioned directly above the row).
|
||
• Crop injury may be caused by overlaps or starting, stopping, slowing, and turning while spraying;
|
||
Band Application -
|
||
• Use proportionately less spray mixture and calibrate the band applicator being sure to not exceed
|
||
the labeled rate.
|
||
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions for nozzle type (flat fans), orientation, distance of nozzles
|
||
from the crop and weeds,spray pressure, spray volumes and calibration.
|
||
AERIAL APPLICATION
|
||
NOTE: Aerial applications are prohibited in New York state and California.
|
||
• Do NOT apply during a temperature inversion, when winds are gusty, or when conditions favor
|
||
poor coverage and/or off-target spray movement. .
|
||
• Use nozzle types and arrangements that will provide optimum spray distribution and maximum
|
||
coverage at a minimum 3 GPA.
|
||
SPRAYER PREPARATION I CLEANUP
|
||
To avoid subsequent crop injury, thoroughly clean all mixing and spray eqUipment immediately following
|
||
applications of ETI114 01 H. . ,
|
||
When spraying or mixing equipment will be used over an extended period to apply multiple loads of ETI
|
||
114 01 H, partially fill the tank with fresh water at the end of each day of spraying, flush the boom and
|
||
hoses, and allow to sit overnight.
|
||
Prior to applying ETI 114 01 H, the spray equipment must be clean and free of all previous pesticide
|
||
deposits. Be sure to clean all application equipment BEFORE applying ETI 114 01 H by following the
|
||
cleanup procedures specified on the label of the product previously sprayed and following the label
|
||
directions for proper disposal of the rinsate. If no cleanup· proceaure is provided, use the following
|
||
procedure.
|
||
12
|
||
|
||
Cleanup Procedure:
|
||
NOTE: Steam cleaning aerial spray tanks will help to dislodge any visible pesticide deposits.
|
||
1. Drain the tank and thoroughly hose down the interior surfaces. Flush the tank, hoses, and boom
|
||
with clean water for a minimum of 5 minutes. .
|
||
2. Partially fill the tank with clean water and add one gallon of household ammonia (containing 3%
|
||
active) for every 100 gallons of water. Finish filling the tank with water, then flush the cleanjng
|
||
solution through the hoses, boom, and nozzles. Add more water to completely fill the tank and
|
||
allow to agitate/recirculate for at least 15 minutes. Again, flush the hoses, boom and nozzles with
|
||
the cleaning solution, then drain the tank.
|
||
3. Repeat Step 2.
|

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift.
|
||
The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions.
|
||
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE .
|
||
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets (>150-200 microns). The best
|
||
drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets than provide sufficient coverage and control.
|
||
The presence of sensitive species nearby, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect
|
||
how an applicator balances drift control and coverage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS REDUCES
|
||
DRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT WILL NOT PREFENT DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY
|
||
OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS! See Wind, Temperature and Humidity,
|
||
. and Temperature Inversions sections of this labeL
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size - General Techniques
|
||
Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher
|
||
rated flows produce larger droplets.
|
||
Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces
|
||
droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED,
|
||
USE A HIGHER-CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE.
|
||
Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types,
|
||
narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
|
||
Number of Nozzles. - Use the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform
|
||
coverage.
|
||
Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to the airstream
|
||
will produce larger droplets than other orientations.
|
||
Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with swirl plate removed) oriented straight
|
||
back produce larger droplets than other nozzle sizes.
|
||
Boom Length - The boom length should not exceed % of the wing or rotor length - longer booms
|
||
increase drift potential.
|
||
Application Height - Application more than 10 feet above the canopy increases the potential for spray
|
||
drift.
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT
|
||
Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the
|
||
exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with
|
||
the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||
WIND
|
||
13
|
||
|
||
c . c. lloll ~
|
||
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10
|
||
mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any
|
||
given wind speed. AVOID GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
|
||
Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind
|
||
patterns and how they affect spray drift.
|
||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to
|
||
reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing,
|
||
which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a
|
||
concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude
|
||
and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun
|
||
sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog
|
||
is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground-source or an
|
||
aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind
|
||
conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good
|
||
vertical air mixing.
|
||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility
|
||
of the applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of
|
||
the product.
|
||
INTEGRATED PEST·MANAGEMENT
|
||
This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program that can include
|
||
biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and
|
||
practices include field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population
|
||
monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds. Consult
|
||
your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to
|
||
determine. appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop systems. in your
|
||
area.
|
||
RESISTANCE
|
||
When herbicides that affect the same biological site of action are used repeatedly over several years to
|
||
control the same weed species in the same field, naturally-occurring resistant biotypes may survive a
|
||
correctly applied herbicide treatment, propagate, and become dominant in that field. Adequate control of
|
||
these resistant weed biotypes cannot be expeGted. If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be necessary
|
||
to retreat the problem area using a product affecting a different site of action.
|
||
To better manage herbicide resistance through delaying the proliferation and possible dominance of
|
||
herbicide resistant weed biotypes, it may be necessary to change cultural practices within and between
|
||
crop seasons such as using a combination of tillage, retreatment, tank-mix partners and/or sequential
|
||
herbicide applications that have a different site of action. Weed escapes that are allowed to go to seed
|
||
will promote the spread of resistant biotypes.
|
||
It is advisable to keep accurate records of pesticides applied to individual fields to help obtain information
|
||
on the spread and dispersal of resistant biotypes. Consult your agricultural dealer, consultant, applicator,
|
||
. and/or appropriate state agricultural extension service representative for specific alternate cultural
|
||
practices or herbicide recommendations available in your area.
