ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS 
This product--is -toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Drift or runoff may 
'a~versely affect aquatic invertebrates and nontarget plants. Do not 
apply directly to water or wetlands (sw1mps, bogs, marshes, and 
pothole~). Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment 
washwaters. 
Host cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy herbicides 
such as 2,4-D have been associated with mixing/loading 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 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.

USE PRECAUTIONS 
D~ not apply directly to or otherwise permit sprays to come in contact 
w1th vegetables, flowers, grapes, fruit trees cane berries ornamentals 
or other desirable plants which are sensitive'to 2 4-0 and do not permit 
spray mist to drift onto them, since even minute ~antities of the spray 
may cause severe injury during both growing and dormant periods. Coarse 
sprays are less likely to drift. 
Application by airplane, ground equipment, or hand sprayer should be 
made only When there is no hazard from drift. 
BEST AVAILABLE COP1

Do not apply by airplane in the vicinity of 
grapes or other desirable 2,4-0 susceptible 
plants. 
Do not contam1nate irrigation ditches or water used for aome~L~~ 
purposes. Excessive amounts of 2,4-0 in the soil may temporarily 
inhibit seed ge~ination or plant growth. 
1 t lif 
At higher temperatures vaporization may cause injury to susceptible 
plants growing nearby. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. 
Do not use spray equipment for any other purpose. Such equipment should 
not be used for application of insecticides, fungicides, or other 
agricultural chemicals. 
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS 
Applications should be made during warm weather when weeds are well 
leaved out and growing actively. Repeat applications may be necessary 
to achieve adequate control. Apply at moderate pressures of tram 40 to 
60 lbs. DO NOT APPLY BY AIRPLANE IN THE VICINITY OF GRAPES OR OTHER 
SUSCEPTIBLE CROPS. 
MIXING DIRECTIONS 
Add half the required saount of water to the spray tank, then add the 
specified amount of this product with agitation, then add the balance of 
the water with continued agitation. (Agitation must be continuous to 
maintain ideal emulsion.) 
RARHING: This product forms an eaulsion in water--not a solution. The 
water emulsion tends to sep~a~e on standing and for this reason 
continued.agitation is necessary to prevent separation and to baintain a 
uniform spray mixture.

2. Apply in SUfficient water (minimum 5 gallons for air application; 
10 gallons for ground application) to give uniform coverage of the 
weeds. 
3. The lower rate is suggested only for very susceptible weeds such as 
Mustard. For resistant weeds, such as Wild Buckwheat and Thistles, 
use the higher rate. 
4. Do not use on grain interplanted with leguaes, particularly Alfalfa 
or sweet Clover, unless injury to the legume can be tolerated. 
5. Spray When grain is 4 to 8 inches high (full tiller stage). When 
applied prior to tillering and also after the grain has reached the 
boot stage, injury may result.
