) GENERAL INFORMATION
PLA TEAU DG is a pre-measured quantity (1.44 oz) of water dispersible granules, contained within a water
soluble bag, to be mixed with water and an adjuvant and applied as a spray solution to provide weed control
and/or turf height suppression on noncropland areas such as railroad, utility, pipeline and highway rights-of-way,
railroad crossings, utility plant sites, petroleum tank fanns, pumping installations, non-agricultural fence rows,
'J storage areas, non-irrigation ditch banks, Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land (see USE OF PLATEAU
DG ON CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM LAND section), prairie sites, airports, industrial turf, golf
courses, recreational and non-residential turf and other similar areas. PLATEAU DG may be used for the release
of unimproved berrnudagrass, bahiagrass, centipede, smooth bromegrass, wheatgrass, "wildtype" common
Kentucky bluegrass, native prairiegrass, wildflowers, crown vetch and certain legumes. PLi\-TEAU DG can also
be used for weed control during the establishment of native prairie grasses (see NATIVE PRAIRIEGRASS
RENOVATION AND RESTORATION).
PLATEAU DG is readily absorbed through leaves, stems, and roots and is translocated rapidly throughout the
plant, with accumulation in the meristematic regions. Treated plants stop growing soon after spray application.
Chlorosis appears first in the newest leaves, and necrosis spreads from this point. In perennials, the herbicide is
translocated into, and kills, underground storage organs which prevents regrowth. Chlorosis and tissue necrosis
may not be apparent in some plant species for several weeks after application. Complete kill of plants may not
occur for several weeks after application. Adequate soil moisture is important for optimum PLATEAU DG
activity. When adequate soil moisture is present, PLATEAU DO will provide residual control of susceptible
germinating weeds. Activity on established weeds will depend on the weed species and rooting depth.
) PLATEAU DG is rainfast one hour after application.
4
2/00
(
PLATEAU DG will control annual and perennial grasses and broad leaf weeds and vine species. PLATEAU DG
will provide residual control of labeled weeds which germinate in the treated area. Certain brush species and
ornamentals may be injured by direct application of PLATEAU DG to their foliage. This product may be applied
) either preemergence or postemergence to the weeds. However, post emergence application is the method of
choice in most situations, particularly for perennial species. For maximum activity, weeds should be growing
vigorously at the time of postemergence applications and the spray solution should include an adjuvant (See
"Adjuvants" Section). These solutions may be applied as a broadcast or as a spot treatment using backpack, or
ground equipment.
I ,
PLATEAU DG may be applied in the dormant or growing season for weed control.
Depending on the turf type being treated, some yellowing of turf may occur with applications during the growing
season. Depending on weather conditions, yellowing will usually eiisaj3j3ear appear in 2 to 4 weeks.
PLATEAU DG should not be applied to newly seeded or sprigged grass stands, unless otherwise stated in this
label. See COASTAL BERMUDAGRASS and PRAIRIEGRASS RENOVATION AND RESTORATION
sections.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Fill the spray tank one-half to three-quarters full with clean water. Add required number of PLATEAU DG
water soluble packets to spray tank while agitating. Fill the remainder of the tank with water.
For postemergence applications, add a surfactant to the spray tank (See Adjuvants section of this label for
specific recommendations). Maintain agitation while spraying to ensure a uniform spray mixture. An
antifoaming agent may be added to the tank if needed.
) When tank-mixing PLATEAU DG with recommended herbicides, add PLATEAU DG to the spray tank first and
make sure it is thoroughly mixed before adding the other herbicides.
PLATEAU DG is a pre_measured quantity (1.44 oz) of water dispersible granules, contained within a water
soluble packet. The water soluble packets must be used as a whole unit. DO NOT open and subdivide packets
when preparing a spray mixture. For use rate recommendations that prescribe partial water soluble packet per (
. ') acre rates, refer to the table below for the equivalent whole packet per acre rate.
)
Partial Water Soluble Packet per Acre Rate Equivalent Whole Water Soluble Packet Rate
0.5 per acre 1.0 per 2 acres
0.75 per acre 1.0 per 1.3 acres
1.5 per acre 1.0 per 0.6 acres
2.5 per acre 1.0 per 0.4 acres
SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT apply during windy or gusty conditions unless applications are being made with an enclosed or
shielded spray system. DO NOT apply if rainfall is threatening. Rainfall within I hour after PLATEAU DG
application may reduce postemergence weed control.

to sunlight or UV treated. PLATEAU DO herbicide breaks down rapidlv when mixed in water and exposed to
sunlight. Stock mixtures of PLATEAU DG herbicide in water should be used within two days of being prepared
to prevent deterioration of the herbicide mixture. Mix thoroughly before removing additional stock mixture.

AERIAL APPLICATION:
All precautions should be taken to minimize or eliminate spray drift. Fixed wing aircraft and helicopters can be
used to apply PLATEAU DG, however, when making applications by Ilxed wing aircraft maintain appropriate
) buffer zones to prevent spray drift out of the target area. Aerial equipment designed to minimize spray drift such
as a helicopter equipped with a MICROFOIL~ boom, or THRU-VALVE~ boom or raindrop nozzles, must be

used and calibrated. Except when applying with a MICROFOIL boom, a drift control agent may be added at the
recommended label rate. To avoid drift, applications should not be made during inversion conditions, when
winds are gusty, or under any other conditions which promote spray drift.
Uniformly apply recommended amount of PLATEAU DG in 5 or more gallons of water per acre, using enough
volume to provide adequate coverage of target area or foliage. Include an adjuvant in the spray solution (See
"Adjuvants" Section). A foam reducing agent may be added at the recommended rate, if needed.
IMPORTANT: Thoroughly clean application equipment, including landing gear, immediately after use of this
product. Prolonged exposure of this product to uncoated steel (except stainless steel) surfaces may result in
corrosion and failure of the exposed part. The maintenance of an organic coating (paint) may prevent corrosion.
Avoid overlaps when spraying.
SPRA Y ADJUVANTS FOR POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS
Postemergence applications of PLATEAU DG require a spray adjuvant. See "Special Weed Control" section.
Due to variations in surfactant contents, certain surfactants containing high amounts of alcohols, paraffin based
petroleum oils, and other compounds which can increase phytotoxicity to desirable vegetation, it is
recommended to choose a low phytotoxic surfactant.
Methylated Seed Oils or Vegetable Oil Concentrates: Instead of a surfactant, a methylated vegetable-based
seed oil concentrate containing 5 to 20% surfactant and tRe FemaieEleF eftRe 80 to 95% methylated vegetable oil
may be used at the rate of 1.5 to 2 pints per acre. Methylated seed oils provide their greatest effects at 30 GPA or
less. At spray volumes above 50 GPA, their advantage appears negated. When using spray volumes greater than
.J' 30 gallons per acre methylated seed oil or vegetable based seed oil concentrates should be mixed at a rate of 1%
of the total spray volume or alternatively use a nonionic surfactant as described below. Research indicates these
oils may aid in deposition and uptake of PLATEAU DG for hard-to-control perennials, waxy leaf species or
when plants are under moisture or temperature stress. DO NOT use a methylated seed oil or vegetable oil
concentrate when making applications to newly emerged seedling prairiegrasses or wildflowers as injury may
') Non ionic Surfactants: Use a nonionic surfactant at the rate of 0.25% v/v or higher (see manufacturer's label) of
the spray solution (0.25% v/v is equivalent to 1 quart in 100 gallons). For best results, select a non ionic
surfactant with a HLB (hydrophilic to lipophilic balance) ratio between 12 and 17 and having at least 60%
surfactant in the formulated product (alcohols, fatty acids, oils, ethylene glycol or diethylene glycol should not be
considered as surfactants to meet the above requirements).
Silicone-Based Surfactants: See manufacturer's label for specific rate recommendations. Silicone-based
surfactants may reduce the surface tension of the spray droplet allowing greater spreading on the leaf surface as
compared to conventional non ionic surfactants. However, some silicone-based surfactants may dry too quickly,
limiting herbicide uptake and higher spray volumes may exhibit "run-off'.
Fertilizer/Surfactant Blends: Nitrogen-based liquid fertilizers such as 28%N, 32%N, 10-34-0, or ammonium
sulfate, may be added at the rate of 2 to 3 pints per acre in combination with the recommended rate of non ionic
surfactant or methylated seed oil. Research indicates that nitrogen based fertilizers aid in the burndown of
annual weeds and increase PLATEAU DG uptake through waxy leaf species. However, fertilizers may increase
phytotoxicity to desired species and newly emerged seedling prairiegrasses and wildflowers. The use of
)
fertilizers in a tank-mix without a nonionic surfactant or a methylated seed oil is not recommended and may
_ result in herbicide failure.

TANK MIXES
PLA TEA-U DG herbicide may be tank-mixed with PENDULUM@ herbicide for additional control of late season
) annual grasses and certain broadleaves. For additional weed control, PLATEAU herbicide may be tank-mixed

other labeled products. A compatibility test is advised for products not listed. 2,4-0 and other phenoxy type
herbicides have resulted in reduced control of perennial grass weeds.
DO NOT tank mix with organophosphate insecticides or use organophosphate insecticides the same year as
PLATEAU DG herbicide on newly seeded areas.
Consult manufacturer's labels for specific rates and weeds controlled. Always follow the more restrictive label
when making an application involving tank-mixes.
FOR FOLIAR AND SEEDHEAD SUPPRESSION OF BAHIAGRASS, COOL SEASON GRASSES AND
SUPPRESSION OF SOME ANNUAL WEEDS
) Bahiagrass: PLATEAU DG may be used at the rate of 0.5 + water soluble packets per 8Be half te w.'e acre to
suppress growth and seedhead development of bahiagrass in unimproved areas. In North and South Carolina it is
recommended to use PLATEAU DG at the rate of Q) + water soluble packet per !We acre, as higher rates may
cause rurf thinning. Depending on rate of PLATEAU DG used, surfactant and environmental conditions,
temporary turf discoloration may occur. For optimum performance, application should be made after green-up.
Applications may be made before or after mowing. If applied prior to mowing, raise mowing height to leave
adequate existing foliage as new growth will be suppressed. If applied after mowing, allow adequate foliage to
') remain by increasing mower height or allowing time for foliar regrowth prior to application. DO NOT apply to
turf under stress (drought, cold, insect, disease, etc.) or severe injury may occur. DO NOT use a methylated seed
oil adjuvant.

and VANOUISH GarlsR, TsrasR, TraRsliR8, aRa V!lll~lIisR may decrease the potential of turf injury. DO NOT
"J apply to turf under stress or severe injury may occur.
FOR THE CO:-lTROL OF UNDESIRABLE WEEDS IN UNIMPROVED BERMUDAGRASS
PLATEAU DG may be used on unimproved bermudagrass turf such as roadsides, utility rights-of-way, railroad
crossings, airports, non-irrigation drainage ditches and other such noncropland sites. There is a differential
tolerance between berrnudagrass types (See below paragraphs). Depending on bermudagrass type, timing of
application, and PLA TEA U DO rate, some foliar, stolon, and seedhead suppression may occur. IMPORTANT:
Apply PLATEAU DO after berrnudagrass has reached full green-up. Spring applications made prior to full
green-up may delay green-up. Always add a surfactant when applying PLATEAU DO. DO NOT apply to grass
under srress from drought, disease, insects or other causes. Simultaneous mow/spray operations may suppress
internode development. After mowing, allow adequate foliage regrowth prior to PLATEAU DO application as
some internode suppression may prevent bermudagrass from quickly recovering from mowing.
Common Bermudagrass: Common berrnudagrass is the most tolerant bermudagrass to PLATEAU DO.
PL\ TE.\U DG at 1.5 to 3 water soluble packets per acre will provide control of labeled weeds as well as foliar
and seed head suppression of established common bermudagrass. Tank-mixes with RSIIRall1' Prs, Asssra
ROUNDUP PRO. ACCORD or glyphosate will improve the weed control spectrum, but may increase turf
ph~lotoxicity. Some stolon internode shortening and seedhead suppression may occur for the first 8 weeks.
Sprigged Coastal Bermudagrass: PLATEAU DO at I to 1.5 water soluble packet~ per acre may be applied at
sprigging for weed control to aid in the establishment of coastal bermudagrass. DO NOT use on hybrid varieties
such as Tifton 85. New World. etc .
. ) Established Coastal Bermudagrass: PLATEAU DG at + .Li.to 3 water soluble packets per acre will provide
, control of labeled weeds as well as foliar and seed head suppression of established coastal bermudagrass. Do not
use on hvbrid varieties such as Tifton 85. New World, etc. Depending on environmental conditions and weed
pressure, the longevity of suppression and weed conrrol increases as the PLATEAU DO rate increases. Tank­
mixes with RellRall1' Prs, A.ssra ROUNDUP PRO. ACCORD or glyphosate may result in death or excessive
injury of coastal bermudagrass.
Turf Type Bermudagrass: Turf type bermudagrass varieties show a high degree of variation in tolerance to
PLA TEAU DG. PLATEAU DO at I to 1.5 water soluble packet per acre will provide some annual weed control
and foliar & seedhead suppression. Rates above + 12 water soluble packet~ per acre may result in excessive
injury or death of turf type berrnudagrass.
SEE ABOVE SECTIONS FOR PLATEAU DG RATES AND TIMINGS FOR SPECIFIC
BERMUDAGRASS TYPES WITH REGARD TO WEED CONTR .t"~ TURF TOLERANCE.
Winter Annual Weed Control: Apply PLATEAU DO at the rate f~ 2.J.tO) 3 water soluble packets per acre
prior to winter weed germination or while winter weeds are active growi . Early spring applications may
delay green-up of berrnudagrass turf.
Summer Annual Weeds: For best results, apply PLATEAU DO at the rate of 2 to 3 water soluble packets per
acre pre-emergence or early postemergence before weeds have reached 6 inches in height. Larger weeds may be
controlled depending on susceptibility, growing conditions, tank-mix partner and adjuvant selection.
'" Perennial Weeds: Apply PLATEAU DO at the rate of2 to 3 water soluble packets per acre paste mergence after
) weeds have pwduced adequate foliage for herbicide uptake. For a particular weed' see "Special Weed Control"
section below. The addition of Accord or Roundup Pro herbicide may increase control.

Bahiagrass Control: Apply PLATEAU DG at the rate ~of:;?' 2.5 to 3 water soluble packets per acre
postemergence. See SPECIAL WEED CONTROL section below for recommendations. The addition of
RellRall1' Pre er ABBerG ROUNDUP PRO or ACCORD herbicide at 12 to 16 oz per acre may increase control.
FOR THE CONTROL OF UNDESIRABLE WEEDS IN UNIMPROVED CENTIPEDE GRASS
PLATEAU DG may be applied at a rate of I to 2 water soluble packets per acre' to established centipede grass for
the control of annual broadleaf and grass weeds. Apply PLATEAU DG after centipede grass has reached full
green-up. Spring applications made prior to full green-up may delay green-up. Always add a surfactant when
applying PLATEAU DG. DO NOT apply to grass under stress from drought, disease, insects or other causes.
Simultaneous mow/spray operations may suppress internode development. After mowing, allow adequate
foliage regrowth prior to PLATEAU DG application as some internode suppression may prevent centipede grass
from quickly recovering from mowing.
FOR CONTROL OF UNDESIRABLE WEEDS IN SMOOTH BROMEGRASS, WILDTYPE COMMON
KENTUCKY BLUEGRASS AND CRESTED WHEATGRASSES
PLATEAU DG may be used on unimproved smooth bromegrass, "wildtype" common Kentucky bluegrass and
crested, western. bluebunch and intermediate wheatgrass in non cropland areas. For other types of wheatgrass
species, make application to small area to determine tolerance to PLATEAU DG. PLATEAU DG provides
control of labeled grass and broadleaf weeds (See WEEDS CONTROLLED and SPECIAL WEED CONTROL
sections). Treatment of smooth bromegrass and wheatgrass with PLATEAU DG may result in foliar height and
seedhead suppression.
Smooth Bromegrass and "Wildtype" Common Kentucky Bluegrass: Use PLATEAU DG at I to 2 water
soluble packets per acre in the spring for weed control and growth suppression after smooth bromegrass and
') "wildtype" common Kentucky bluegrass have reached I 00% green-up. Applications prior to I 00% green-up
~ may delay green-up, Rates from 2 to 3 water soluble packets per acre may be applied in the spring but may
result in excessive growth suppression, For fall applications (see SPECIAL WEED CONTROL section),
PLATEAU DG may be used at 2 to 3 water soluble packets per acre for control of perennial weeds,
Wbeatgrass: To control undesirable weeds in crested, western, bluebunch, intermediate and other wheatgrasses
apply PLATEAU DG herbicide at I to 3 water soluble packets per acre. For wheat grass species other than
crested. western. bluebunch and intermediate. make application to small area to determine tolerance to
PLATEAU DG herbicide.
FOR CONTROL OF UNDESIRABLE WEEDS IN CROWN VETCH
PLATEAU DG may be applied at the rate of I water soluble packet per acre to newly seeded crown vetch beds to
aid in the establishment of vetch and reduce weed competition.
PLATEAU DG at 2 to 3 water soluble packets per acre may be used on unimproved established crown vetch in
noncropland areas. PLATEAU DG provides control of labeled grass and broadleafweeds (Refer to the "Weeds
Controlled" and "Special Weed Control" section for specific rates). Treatment of crown vetch beds with
PLATEAU DG may cause internode shortening and some minor tip chlorosis depending on timing of
application.
PLATEAU DG should be applied during winter dormancy or early spring to reduce potential injury.
Applications made after May, may result in increased injury or defoliation. Addition of surfactants such as
.~) dilimenene based or crop oil concentrates will increase injury. Fall applications during the period of active
. crown vetch growth may result in severe injury or loss of stand.

NATIVE PRAIRIE GRASS RENOVATION AND RESTORA nON
PLATEAU DO may be applied at the rate of .j. 0.5 to 3 water soluble packets per acre to newly established or
1 existing stands of labeled species (see below for details) in such areas as roadsides, industrial sites, prairie
restoration sites, drainage ditch banks, and other such noncropland areas. Certain local ecotypes or varieties may
be suppressed by PLATEAU DO. Many factors such as poor seedling vigor, cool temperatures, poor soil,
planting depth, excessive moisture, disease, insects and dry weather after emergence can all result in poor stands.
Additional stress of herbicide residue, poor soils and other factors contributing to poor seedling vigor can also
increase injury and could result in mortality. American Cyanamid can not be held responsible for such
unforeseen factors. It is suggested to try PLATEAU DO on a small area iftolerance is not known. PLATEAU
DO controls many annual and perennial grass and broadleaf weeds. Weed competition is reduced allowing
prairiegrass seedlings to establish. PLATEAU DO is also effective for control of noxious weeds in established
prairiegrass stands and must be applied postemergence as a foliar treatment to perennial weeds. IMPORTANT:
ALWAYS ADD AN ADJUVANT when applying PLATEAU DO. To maximize weed control always use a
methylated seed oil when treating established prairiegrass stands. Use a non ionic surfactant when treating newly
emerged seedling prairiegrasses. The addition of liquid fertilizer will decrease grass tolerance and should not be
used when treating newly emerged seedling prairiegrasses.
PLATEAU DO may be applied at a rate of up to I water soluble packet per acre to Federal Conservation Reserve
Program (CRP) land for the establishment or release of big bluestem, little bluestem, Indiangrass, sideoats and
blue grama.
Establishment: For optimum results in establishing mixed pramegrass stands with PLATEAU DG, make
application at planting before prairiegrass seedlings emerge. Newlv emerged grasses can be sensitive to
PLATEAU DO herbicide and/or the adjuvant used. If native warm season prairie grasses have begun to emerge,
it is best to wait until thev have reached the five leaf stage to make a PLATEAU DO herbicide application and
) use a nonionic or silicone surfactant. Do not use a methylated seed oil at this time as some grass species
tolerance will be lost. PLATEAU DG will control annual weeds preemergence or early postemergence. See
"WEEDS CONTROLLED" section for maximum height of weeds and see below for more details on best rate
and timing for prairiegrass and wildflower species. Postemergence applications may result in stand thinning due
to variability in seedling grass tolerance to the use of spray adjuvants. Seedling grasses are generally more
tolerant to the use of spray adjuvants after they have reach the five leaf stage. When planting into a field which
was row cropped the previous year, compounded injury may occur from herbicide carry-over (See /'
) "DIRECTIONS FOR USE" section).
Rates and Control: Apply PLATEAU DG at .j. 0.5 to 1.5 water soluble packet~ per acre to fields cropped the
previous year, when annual weeds are the target and/or if grass/forb mixtures are used. PLATEAU DO at .j. 0.5
to 1.5 water soluble packet~ per acre will provide control and/or suppression of many annual grass and broadleaf
weeds. Use lower rates when in the northern most U.S., dry climates or for late season plantings into clean
seedbeds. PLATEAU DO herbicide rates as low as 0.5 water soluble packets per acre may be used on soils with
a pH > 7. a low CEC and a course texture containing a minimum of clav and organic matter. Use higher rates in
heavy weed pressure, heavy residue, high organic matter; high rainfall and long growing season (southern
portions of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Ohio, etc.). Apply PLATEAU DO at 2 to 3 water soluble packets per
acre for giant ragweed or for perennial weed control/suppression. PLATEAU DO rates of 2 to 3 water soluble
packets per acre may result in stunting or stand thinning. The duration and intensity of suppression are directly
related to weed pressure, chemical residue, soil type and environmental conditions. See below for details for
particular grass tolerances and timings.
Established Stands: For optimum results, apply PLATEAU DO as an early postemergence application to
') annual grasses and broad leaf weeds. For perennial weed control, see "SPECIAL WEED CONTROL" section.
, The use of high rates may result in foliar and/or seed head height suppression of established stands of
pramegrass. This effect is more likely to occur under conditions of light soils, low weed pressure, low rainfall,
I I
2/00
. )
and short growing seasons. Use the lower rates for light weed infestations or when mixing with wildflowers and
legumes (See "Wildflower" Section for rate tolerance). Use higher rates to broaden and lengthen weed control
spectrum .
Big Bluestem, Little Bluestem and Indiangrass: PLATEAU DG may be applied at the rate of .j. 0.5 to 3 water
soluble packets per acre at planting, or any time thereafter, including after seedling grasses have emerged or to
perennial stands (dormant or actively growing). See weed control section for desired rate. Use the lower rates in
Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Nebraska and higher rates as rainfall and/or
growing season increases.
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum): PLATEAU DG is not recommended for the establishment of pure
switchgrass stands as severe injury or death may result. PLATEAU DG may be applied at a rate of 0.5 to I water
soluble packet per acre if switchgrass is planted in mixed stands with tolerant species, but only if some stand
thinning or loss of stand can be tolerated. Mature switchgrass planting can be reclaimed from certain perennial
weeds such as tall fescue, leafy spurge, johnsongrass, etc., with PLATEAU DG at rates of 22 to 3 water soluble
packets per acre. However, severe stunting and injury is imminent. DO NOT apply PLATEAU DG to
switchgrass if such severe injury can not be tolerated.
Sideoats and Blue Grama: Apply PLATEAU DG herbicide to monoculture stands of sideoats and blue grama
only if some stand thinning or loss of stand can be tolerated. PLATEAU DG may be applied at the rate of ~
0.5 to I water soluble packets per acre plus an adjuvant to aid in the establishment of sideoats and blue gram a
after new seedlings have emerged and reached the five (5) leaf stage. When using PLATEAU DG at ~ 1 water
soluble packet per acre it is not recommended to use in combination with a methylated seed oil adjuvant as stand
thinning may occur. The lower rates may provide adequate weed suppression in early summer plantings in the
states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Nebraska and other states where
growing degree days are short. Sideoats and blue grama have shown tolerance to PLATEAU DG at 0.5 to I
) water soluble packet per acre, applied pre-emergence at planting, however, some stand thinning may occur. For
weed control in established stands use I to 22 water soluble packets per acre of PLATEAU DG. Up to 3 water
soluble packets per acre of PLATEAU DG may be applied, but may result in foliar andlor seed head suppression,
)
or in the injury of sideoats and blue grama, depending on surfactant choice, soil type, variety, weed pressure and
environmental conditions.
Buffalograss: Apply PLATEAU DG at the rate of 0.5 to I water soluble packet per acre for control or
suppression of labeled weeds and to aid in the establishment of newly sprigged buffalograss. Apply PLATEAU
DG herbicide immediately after planting prior to spring growth or seed germination. New growth and small
seedlings can be severely injured or killed. If applying after emergence it is best to wait until buffalo grass has at
least five true leaves and use a non ionic or silicone surfactant. Do not use a methylated seed oil. For established
stands, PLATEAU DG may be applied at the rate of .j. 0.5 to 2 water soluble packets per ~re for weed control.
Higher rates may cause some turf discoloration and stunting. PLATEAU DG may be applied to dormant
buffalograss to control winter annual weeds. Turf type buffalograss may express different tolerance level to
PLATEAU DG than wild type buffalograss. Some turf types can tolerate low rates of PLATEAU DG at seeding.
Consult seed dealer for details.
Eastern Gamagrass: PLATEAU DG should only be used for the establishment or maintenance of eastern
gamagrass if some stand thinning or loss can be tolerated. Apply PLATEAU DG at -I- 0.5 to 1.5 water soluble
packet~ per acre at planting prior to gamagrass emergence. Stand thinning and stunting is imminent. Adverse
conditions, poor soils, or added stress to the gamagrass could result in stand mortality. Postemergence
application to seedlings will cause mortality. On established Eastern gamagrass, apply PLATEAU DG at -I- 0.5 to
2 water soluble packets per acre prior to gamagrass breaking dormancy. Some stunting will occur and increases
as the PLATEAU DG rate increases. Applications made during or after green~up may result in foliar and
) seedhead suppression and possible mortality of weak plants.
12
2/00
Tall Fescue Control: Tall fescue can be controlled by using PLATEAU DG at the rate of 3 water soluble
packets per acre plus methylated seed oil at 2 pints per acre in established stands of or to prepare a seed bed for
big bluestem, little bluestem, and indiangrass. The addition of Nitrogen fertilizer (See "ADJUVANTS" Section)
') to the above mix will aid in control. Tall fescue must be actively growing for optimum control. If tall fescue has
reached the boot stage or has reached summer dormancy, control may be poor. For improved control of tall
fescue, PLATEAU DG may be tank mixed with ACCORD, ROUNDUP PRO Assenl, ReliRGlI1' PFe, or
glyphosate. Fall applications of PLATEAU DG at 2 to 3 water soluble packets per acre, plus 24 to 64 ozl A
ACCORD or ROUNDUP PRO Assenl eF ReliRGlI1' PFe will result in best control of existing tall fescue and new
germinating seedlings. With spring applications of PLATEAU DG at 12 to 3 water soluble packets per acre,
plus a ACCORD or ROUNDUP PRO ASSefG Sf ReliRGlI1' Pfe at 32 to 64 ozl A, use higher rates for older, mature
fescue stands and lower PLATEAU DG rates when planting forbs. When using 2 water soluble packets per acre
of PLATEAU DG in the fall with a glyphosate product, it is recommended to apply I water soluble packet per
acre PLATEAU DG in the spring at planting for annual weed and seedling fescue control. Burning the fescue
stand, where permitted, the following spring, just prior to green-up, will aid in control and provide a better'
seedbed for planting. Mowing the fescue several times the summer before fall application, will weaken the
fescue root system, making it more susceptible to herbicides. Always allow for at least 10 inches of regrowth,
following the last mowing before spraying, as both PLATEAU DG and glyphosate products need foliage present
for herbicide uptake and satisfactory control.

WILDFLOWER ESTABLISHMENT AND MAINTENANCE
Due to high degree of variation in genotypes. ecotypes and varieties of wildflowers, tolerances to PLATEAU DG
herbicide can vary dramatically and may be reduced under certain soil types and environmental conditions.
Applv PLATEAU DG herbicide on Iv if some stand thinning or loss can be tolerated. Preemergence applications
of low use rates (I water soluble packet per acre) to tolerant species, result in the least amount of injury, but may
not eliminate it. Postemergence applications of PLATEAU DG can result in injury or death of some genotypes,
and should be used only as a rescue treatment when weed competition threatens the stand. Use of certain spray
adjuvants can also increase wildflower injury and loss of stand. Although most legumes listed in the tolerance
table are tolerant to I water soluble packet per acre of PLATEAU DG preemergence, some stand thinning may
occur. Legumes are more tolerant to post applications, but chlorosis or stunting is possible. Recommendations
listed in the tables below are designed for mixed grasslwildflower stands. Less than satisfactory results may
occur from applications to monoculture stands. It is recommended to try on a small scale to determine degree of
satisfaction on monoculture stands .
. ) For use in wildflower beds: Certain wildflowers have shown tolerance to PLATEAU DG applied pre­
emergence andlor postemergence. Apply PLATEAU DG at the rate of 0.5 to I water soluble packet per acre plus
a silicone or non ionic surfactant to wildflower beds when weed competition threatens establishment or
preser.ation of stand. Do not use a methylated seed oil or add fertilizer after seedling wildflowers have emerged
or severe injury or death of some species may occur. Do not use if injury can not be tolerated. Species listed in
the table below will outgrow early phytotoxicity. Higher rates may cause delayed flowering andlor height
suppression of some species. Late postemergence applications (at bolting, bud or bloom set) on seedling and
established beds will delay or prevent bloom. Combinations with PENDULUM® herbicide will provide broad
'J spectrum grass and broadleafweed control (see PENDULUM herbicide label for tolerant species).
)
For prairiegrass/wildflower mixtures: Where some wildflower injury (phytotoxicity, height suppression) can (
be tolerated, apply PLATEAU DG at the rate to achieve desired weed control, but not to exceed tolerance rate
listed in the table below. Wildflower injury can be reduced or eliminated with pre-emergence applications. To
minimize injury, apply PLATEAU DG at 0.5 to I water soluble packet per acre at planting to tolerant species
listed below. Use the 0.5 water soluble packet per acre rate under cool dry conditions and in low rainfall areas.
If postemergence application is made to established prairiegrasslwildflower mixtures, use the lowest rate of
PLATEAU DG necessary to achieve desired weed control (see "WEEDS CONTROLLED" section).
Postemergence application can result in stand. thinning or death due to vast variation in seed sources, varieties
and genotypes. It is recommended that a small area be tested prior to full application for tolerance of desired
species. The rates listed below are for those species in which acceptable tolerance has been confirmed on the
varieties/genotypes being treated.
Application of PLATEAU DG in conjunction with an organophosphate insecticide may cause an IOcrease 10
wildflower injury.

Due to the diversity of species and varieties which exist in areas where wildflowers are grown, the response to
PLATEAU DG may vary greatly. Careful testing on desirable species is recommended to determine if area-wide
applications can be made. Try on a limited area to verifY tolerance in a specific area.
The suitability of PLATEAU DG use on wildflower species not listed, should be determined by treating a small
number of such wild flowers at an appropriate rate, not to exceed 3 water soluble packets per acre per year.
Treated wildflowers should be evaluated I to 2 months following application' for possible injury. THE USER
ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE OR OTHER LIABILITY.
SPECIAL WEED CONTROL
ALWAYS ADD AN ADJUVANT to PLATEAU DG (see "ADJUVANTS" section). Research has shown
Methylated Seed Oil (MSO) surfactants provide PLATEAU DG with superior control of perennial weeds. This
effect is not always observed and is most prevalent on waxy leaf species, perennials and weeds under stress
conditions. For the weeds listed below, it is recommended to use a MSO for best results. The use of nonionic
surfactants or silicone based surfactants may result in less than acceptable control.
Johnsongrass & Itchgrass: For best results, apply PLATEAU DG at the rate of2 to 3 water soluble packets per
acre after johnsongrass or itchgrass has reached 18 to 24 inches in height at the whorl. The addition of ACCORD
or ROUNDUP PRO A6s8,,1 sr RSHR~HP Prs at the rate of 8 to 16 oz per acre may improve control after culm
elongation or in dense stands. Use higher herbicide rates as density increases. Larger grass than specified above
can be controlled.
Dallisgrass, Bahiagrass, Vaseygrass, Paspalum spp" Smutgrass: For best results, apply PLATEAU DG at the
rate of 22 to 3 water soluble packets per acre postemergence after grass has reached 100% green-up. The
addition of ACCORD or ROUNDUP PRO A.68rs er ReHRsH!! Pre at the rate of 12 to 16 oz per acre will
improve efficacy. Use higher herbicide rates as target grass weed densities and/or maturity increase. The
addition of PENDULUM herbicide will provide increased preemergence control of these grasses from seed.
Leafy Spurge: For best results, apply PLATEAU DG at 2 to 3 water soluble packets per acre in the late summer
or fall fall, al leasl 2 weel,s prier Ie a killiRg frest (late August through mid-October). Consecutive year
applications will optimize long term control. PLATEAU DG at 3 water soluble packets per acre applied spring
or fall, or I water soluble packet per acre in the spring following a 2 water soluble packets per acre fall treatment
may result in excessive injury to cool season grasses in some areas. For best results, always use a methylated
seed oil at 2 pints per acre. Two pints per acre of Nitrogen fertilizer (See Adjuvant Section) may also be added
to the spray tank to increase leafy spurge control, however, this may increase injury to desired species of grasses
and forbs. The use of nonionic and silicone based surfactants have resulted in little or no control of leafY spurge.
Approximate dates for fall timing in North and South Dakota is late August through Sep.tember; for Nebraska
and Iowa is mid September through mid-October. This application should be made after good soil moisture is
present but prior to a killing frost.
Canada Thistle: Spring applications of 3 water soluble packets per acre PLATEAU DG plus 2 pints of
Methylated Seed Oil per acre applied postemergence to Canada thistle will provide control and/or suppression of
above ground biomass. For best results, apply when thistle is in the rosette to early bolt. Applications made at
flowering will provide knock down of existing foliage but may result in root sucker sprouting.
Tall Fescue Control: Tall fescue can be controlled by using PLATEAU DG at the rate of 3 water soluble
packets per acre plus Methylated Seed Oil at 2 pints per acre. The addition of Assers ACCORD, glyphosate or
R8HRsHpPre ROUNDUP PRO and/or Nitrogen fertilizer (See "ADJUVANTS" Section) to the above mix will aid
') in control. Tall fescue must be actively growing for optimum control. If tall fesclie has reached slimmer
_ dormancy, control may be poor.

/
Fall applications of PLATEAU DG at 2 to 3 water soluble packets per acre plus a ACCORD or ROUNDUP PRO
A668,,1 er R8HASH!, Pre at 24 to 64 ozlA will result in best control of existing tall fescue and new germinating
seedlings. With spring applications of PLATEAU DG at 2~ to 3 water soluble packets per acre, plus ACCORD
') or ROUNDUP PRO Aee8rs 8r ReHRsH" Pre at 32 to 64 ozlA, use higher rates for older, mature fescue stands
and lower PLATEAU DG rates when planting forbs. When using 2 water soluble packets per acre of PLATEAU
OG in the fall with ACCORD or ROUNDUP PRO A6e8rs er ReHRsH" Pre, it is recommended to apply I water
soluble packet per acre PLATEAU DG in the spring at planting for annual weed and seedling fescue control.
Burning the fescue stand, where permitted, the following spring, just prior to green-up, will aid in control and
provide a better seedbed for planting. Mowing the fescue several times the summer before fall application, will
weaken the fescue root system, making it more susceptible to herbicides. Always allow for at least 10 inches of
regrowth, following the last mowing before spraying, as both PLATEAU DG and ReHRsH!, ROUNDUP products
need foliage present for herbicide uptake and satisfactory control.
Resistant Biotype.: Naturally occurring biotypes (a plant within a given species that has a slightly different, but
distinct genetic makeup from other plants of the same species) of some weeds listed on this label may not be
effecti\ely controlled by this and/or other herbicides (GHsF OUSTT") with the ALSI AHAS enzyme inhibiting
mode of action. If naturally occurring ALSIAHAS resistant biotypes are present in an area, PLATEAU DG
should be tank-mixed or applied sequentially with an appropriate registered herbicide having a different mode of
action to ensure control.
WF+ RESIDUAL BAREGROUND WEED CONTROL
For sensitive areas and use around desirable vegetation PLATEAU DG at 3 water soluble packets per acre may
be tank mixed with ARSHIAL hereieise, PENDULUM herbicide, SAHARf,@ hersieiae, ReMAs,,!, Pre, eS68rt,
OMsl, Karme,?, ROUNDUP PRO. ESCORT. KARMEXT". 2.4-0, diuron, ENDURANCP" or other labeled
products to provide total vegetation control. For other bareground areas PLATEAU DG herbicide at 3 water
._, soluble packets per acre may be tank mixed with ARSENAL herbicide, SAHARA DG herbicide, KROV AR, } ./ OUST, TORDONT", VANQUISH or other labeled products to provide total bareground weed control. For
maximum weed control, use 2 pints per acre of methylated seed oil as an adjuvant. The addition of a nitrogen
fertilizer may aid in weed control (see ADJUVANTS section for recommendation).
Spot Treatments: PLATEAU DG may be used to control weed encroachment in bareground or total vegetation <.
control situations. To prepare the spray solution, thoroughly mix in each gallon of water I water soluble packet
.") PLATEAU DG plus a methylated seed oil adjuvant.
USE UNDER PAVED SURFACES
Applications should be made to the soil surface onlv when final grade is established. DO NOT move soil
following PLATEAU DG herbicide application. Applv PLATEAU OG herbicide in sufficient water to ensure
thorough and uniform wetting of the soil surface. including the shoulder area. Add PLATEAU DG herbicide at a
rate of 3 water soluble packets per acre to clean water in the spray tank during the filling operation. Agitate
before spraying. If soil is not moist prior to treatment. incorporation of PLATEAU DG herbicide will improve
control. PLATEAU DG herbicide can be incorporated into the soil to a depth of two inches using a rototiller or
disc. Rainfall or irrigation totaling one inch is also sufficient to incorporate PLATEAU DG herbicide into the
soil surface. DO NOT allow treated soil to wash or move into untreated area.
USE OF PLATEAU DG ON FEDERAL CONSERVATION
RESERVE PROGRAM (CRP) LAND
) PLATEAU DG may be used on Federal Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land at rates up to I water soluble
packet per acre per year (see minimum plant-back intervals below). See appropriate section of this label for
19
2/00
specific instructions for the intended use. DO NOT use rates higher than I water soluble packet per acre per year
on CRP land.

-For Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas only: Cotton may be planted 18 months after PLATEAU
DG application in the states of Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas unless drought conditions develop
the year of PLATEAU DG application. DO NOT rotate to cotton at 18 months after PLATEAU DG application
if less than 15 inches of rainfall or irrigation is received from the time of PLATEAU DG application through
November I of the same year. If drought conditions develop the year of PLATEAU DG application, cotton may
be planted 16 months after PLATEAU DG application.
Use of PLATEAU DG in accordance with label directions is expected to result in normal growth of plant-back
crops in most situations; however, various environmental and agronomic factors make it impossible to eliminate
all risks associated with the use of this product and, therefore, plant-back crop injury is always possible.
TOLERANCE OF TREES AND BRUSH TO PLATEAU DG
DO NOT use PLATEAU DG on nursery, orchard, ornamental plantings, new plantings or seedling trees. It is
) suggested that PLATEAU DG be tried on a limited basis to determine tolerance in your area. PLATEAU DG
may be used at rates up to 3 water soluble packets per acre for general weed control in and around established
trees on roadsides, prairies and other noncropland areas used for wildlife cover, erosion control, wind breaks, etc.
Tree and brush species known to have acceptable tolerance to PLATEAU DG when applied under the canopy
and/or to the foliage are listed below. Tolerance is based upon trees with a minimum of 2 inch DBH. Some
species may exhibit tip chlorosis and minor necrosis. Foliar contact may increase injury to include defoliation
and terminal death.
