ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Drift or run-off may adversely affect nontarget plants. Do
not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface
water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean
high water mark. Do not contaminate water when
disposing of equipment washwaters. Do not contaminate
water intended for irrigation or domestic purposes. Do not
apply when weather conditions favor drift from target site.
GROUND WATER CONTAMINATION STATEMENT
Most cases of groundwater contamination involving
phenoxy herbicides such as MCPA have been associated
with mixing/loading and disposal sites. Caution should be
exercised when handling MCPA pesticides at such sites
to prevent contamination of groundwater supplies. Use of
closed systems for mixing and 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.
CLEANING OF EQUIPMENT
When cleaning equipment, do not pour washwater on the
ground; spray or drain over a large area away from wells
and other water sources.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a
manner inconsistent with its labeling.
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. For any requirements specific to your State or
Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide
regulation.

leaking containers. Check for leaks after refilling and
before transportation. If the container is not being refilled,
return to the point of purchase.
GENERAL PRODUCT INFORMATION
USE PRECAUTIONS: MCP Amine Herbicide is
injurious to most broad leaf plants and is useful for
controlling these weeds in certain crops. Salts are the
least volatile forms of MCPA and do not release enough
vapors from treated areas to reduce yield of adjacent
susceptible crops. This product is a salt of MCPA.
Susceptible plants may, however, be injured by physical
drift from the application of this product. However,
several crops such as flax, rice oats, and small grains
underseeded to legumes are more tolerant of MCPA than
they are of 2,4-0. Apply this product only to varieties
known to be tolerant of MCPA. Injury to crops may occur
from this pesticide. If you are not prepared to accept
some degree of crop injury, do not use this product. If
you are uncertain concerning tolerant varieties or local
use situations that may affect crop tolerance, contact your
seed company or State Agricultural Extension Service for
advice. Do not apply directly to or otherwise permit even
Itltl
minute amounts (such as spray drift) to contact fruit trees,
vegetables, flowers, ornamentals, or other desirable
plants susceptible to MCPA. DO NOT APPLY IN THE
VICINITY OF COnON, GRAPES, TOBACCO OR
TOMATOES. Do not use in or near a greenhouse. Do not
spray when wind is blowing towards susceptible crops or
ornamental plants. Do not apply this product through any
type of irrigation system.
Use coarse sprays to minimize spray drift since, under
certain weather conditions, fine spray droplets may drift a
mile or more. A spray thickening agent may be used with
this pro9uct to aid in reducing spray drift. If used, follow
all use recommendations and precautions on the product
label.
With ground equipment spray drift can be lessened by:
1. Keeping the spray boom as low as possible.
2. Applying 20 gallons or more of spray volume per acre.
3. Using large-droplet producing nozzles.
4. Using no more than 20 psi spray pressure at the
nozzles.
5. Spraying only when wind velocity is low.
6. Stopping all spraying when wind exceeds 8 MPH.
Do not use hollow cone-type nozzles or other nozzles
that produce large amounts of line spray droplets.
With aerial equipment, drift can be minimized by:
1. Using no more than 20 psi spray pressure at nozzles.
2. Using nozzle types and positions which do not produce
fine spray droplets.
3. Using a spray boom no longer than 3/4 the wing or
rotor span 'of the aircraft.
4. Spraying only when wind is less than 6 MPH.
Determine air movement and direction before foliar
application. Use a smoke generator or other means at or
near the application site for the detection of air
movement, air stability, or temperature inversions. Such a
condition exists when there is little or no wind and air
temperature is lower near the ground than at higher
levels. Use appropriate drift control measures or avoid
application when smoke is moving toward nearby
desirable susceptible pli3nts or sensitive areas.
Excessive amounts of this herbicide in the soil may
temporarily inhibit seed germination or plant growth.
Violent windstorms may move soil particles. If MCPA is
on soil particles and they are blown onto susceptible
plants, visible symptoms may appear. Serious injury is
unlikely. The hazards of movement of MCPA on dust is
reduced if treated fields are irrigated or if rain occurs
shortly after application.
To avoid injury to desirable plants, do not handle or apply
other agricultural chemicals with the same equipment
used for MCPA unless it has been thoroughly cleaned
with a suitable chemical cleaner.
Local conditions may affect the use of herbicides. Consult
your State Agricultural Experiment Station or Extension
Service Weed Specialists for advice in selecting
treatments from this label to best fit local conditions. Be
sure that the use of this product conforms to all applicable
regulations. Apply this product only as specified on this
label.
WHERE TO APPLY: MCP Amine Herbicide is used to
control broad leaf weeds in flax, peas, small grains,
established alfalfa and red clover, grass pastures,
rangeland, and many non-crop areas. This product will kill
or control the following weeds in addition to many other
noxious plants susceptible to MCPA.

WHEN TO APPLY: Apply the product during warm
weather when weeds are young and actively growing.
Uniform spray coverage is necessary for best results.
Generally the low dosages listed will be satisfactory for
young, succulent growth of sensitive weed species. For
less sensitive species and under conditions where control
is difficult, the higher dosages will be needed.
HOW TO APPLY:
PREPARING THE SPRAY: Mix the MCP Amine'
Herbicide with water unless otherwise indicated on the
label. Fill the mixing tank or spray tank with approximately
1/2 theilmount of water to be used for spraying. Add the
required amount of product with agitation. Add the
remainder of water while continuing to agitate. NOTE:
adding oil, wetting agents, or other adjuvants to the spray
may reduce selectivity to crops, possible causing crop
damage.
SPRAYING CONDITIONS: Use a moderate spray
pressure of approximately 20 psi. Enough spray volume
should be used to give good coverage of the weeds being
sprayed, This is usually 5 to 30 gallons by ground
application or 3 to 10 gallons by air unless directed
otherwise under specific directions, Higher spray
volumes may be useful in some situations to provide
better spray coverage when weeds are especially dense
and/or to reduce spray drift.
WEED CONTROL APPLICATIONS
FOR USE IN FLAX, GRAINS, PASTURES,
RANGELAND: Do not forage or graze dairy and meat
animals on treated areas within seven (7) days of
slaughter and/or treatment.
FLAX: For control of susceptible weeds, use 1/4 to 1/2
pint of MCP Amine Herbicide per acre. Treat flax when
3 to 8 inches tall before buds begin to form. Rates of 3/4
to 1 pint per acre may be needed to control some weeds
such as wild buckwheat, smartweed and thistles but flax
may be injured at these rates. Consult Local Extension
Service or University Specialists for advice on herbicide
use on flax. Do not forage or graze meat animals on
treated areas within se\ien (7) days of slaughter.
WEED CONTROL IN SMALL GRAINS: NOTE: Do not
forage or graze meat animals on treated areas within
seven (7) days of slaughter,
Wheat, Barley, Oats and Rye not underseeded with
Legumes: Use 1/2 to 1 pint MCP Amine Herbicide per
acre for the most susceptible weeds when grains are in
the 3 to 4 leaf stage or up to early boot stage. Apply when
weeds are very small for best results. Use up to 3 pints
MCP Amine Herbicide per acre for the less susceptible
weeds after crop has tillered but not later than early boot
stage. Do not apply during the boot to dough stage of the
grain.
Wheat, Barley, Oats and Rye underseeded with
Alfalfa, Birdsfoot Trefoil, Lespedeza, Red, White or
Ladino Clover ( Clover·Pacific Northwest Only): For
emergency control of susceptible weeds such as mustard
and lambsquarters, use i4 to Y, pint of MCP Amine
Herbicide per acre as soon as possible after weeds
emerge, but after seedling grain is at least 3 inches tall.
The 114 to 112 pint per acre rate can produce injury to
legumes. Balance the severity of your weed problem
against the possibility of crop damage. The grain and
weeds should form a protective canopy which, together
with the use of low gallonage applied at low pressure, will
reduce the risk of damage to the legumes. Treatment
may be made up to the full tiller stage, but not in the boot
to dough stages of the grain. To control certain weed
species, 1 pint per acre may be needed. Do not use
where small seeded legumes, especially vetch, sweet
clover, trefoil or alfalfa, are seeded unless injury to them
can be tolerated.
When applying to small grains, use a minimum of 5 -10
gallons of water per acre for ground application and at
least 2 gallons of total spray per acre for aerial
application.
PEAS (Pacific Northwest Only) Use 1/4 to 3/4 pint of
MCP Amine Herbicide in at least 15 to 30 gallons of
water per acre when peas are 4 to 6 inches tall, before
first flowering, and weeds are small. Do not apply
during bloom period. Higher rates of 1/2 to 3/4 pint per
acre may be used to improve control of difficult weeds,
but crop injury is more likely to occur. Do not apply if
peas are taller than 7 inches or when they are stressed
for lack of soil moisture. Do not apply when air
temperature is over 90" F. Do no graze treated fields or
feed treated vies to livestock.
NOTE: MCP can cause injury and delayed maturity in
the pea crop.
ESTABLISHED ALFALFA OR RED CLOVER (Clover·
Pacific Northwest Only) : For control of yellow rocket
and other susceptible annual weeds such as pennycress
or fanweed, use 1 pint of MCP Amine Herbicide per
acre. Use only 1/2 pint per acre on new stands after
clover has two or more true leaves. Old stands of Red
f,/tl
clover may be retarded by application of MCPA. Apply in
late fall after frost has killed legume top-growth and
legumes are donmant. The temperature at time of
spraying should be above 40°F.
GRASS PASTURES (INCLUDING GRASS GROWN
FOR SEED): Use 2 to 4 pints of MCP Amine Herbicide
per acre in 2 to 120 gallons in airplane or ground sprayer
application. Apply when weeds are small and actively
growing for best results. Use the higher rates fOr
whitetop, Canada thistle, buttercup and other more
difficult to control weeds. Use only the lower rate on
seedling grasses. Spray perennials in early bud to full
bloom stage and regrowth in Fall; other weeds in spring
or fall. Legumes may be injured or killed. Do not use this
treatment where legumes, especially alfalfa, are present
and desirable. In some areas bent, buffalo, centipede,
dichondra, carpet and St. Augustine grasses may be
susceptible to injury. Do not use on newly seeded areas
until grass is well established. Do not use from early boot
to milk stage where grass seed production is desired.
CONTROL OF WHITEBRUSH ON RANGELAND: Use 3
pints of MCP Amine Herbicide with 1 gallon of diesel oil
or IMPEL RED and enough water for good spray
coverage, usually 5 to 10 gallons per acre. Apply in
spring or fall when plant foliage is well developed and
actively growing. Spraying during bloom is recommended
but not immediately after shedding of blossoms.
Retreatments may be needed in succeeding years.
NOTE: First mix the MCP Amine Herbicide in the water,
then add the oil with agitation. Spray must be kept
agitated during spraying to avoid separation in the tank.
NON·CROP AREAS: For control of susceptible weeds in
fencerows, fallowlands, rights-of-way, roadsides, and
similar areas, use 6 pints of product per acre in enough
water to give sufficient coverage. NOTE: on fallow land,
do not plant any crop for 3 months after treatment or until
chemical has disappeared from soil.
SPOT TREATMENT: For weed control in pastures,
rangelands and in non-crop areas such as fencerows,
fanmyards, shelter-belts and roadsides: Use Y. pint of
MCP Amine Herbicidejn 3 to 4 gallons of water or 3/4
gallon per acre in sufficient water to give good coverage
for most extensive areas to control weeds such as
Canada thistle, whitetop, meadow buttercup and Texas
blueweed. Apply to wet weeds thoroughly when weeds
are growing vigorously, usually prior to bloom, in bud to
early bloom and spray fall regrowth if necessary. Do not
forage or graze livestock or dairy animals on treated
areas within 7 days of treatment. Local conditions may
affect the use of this chemical. Consult State Agricultural
Extension or Experiment Station weed specialists for
specific recommendations for local weed problems and
for information on possible lower dosages.
TANK MIXES
Read and follow the manufacturer's label
recommendation for each tank mix product used for
precautionary statements, directions for use, geographic
and other restrictions. If these recommendations conflict
with this label, do not use as a tank mix with MCP Amine
Herbicide. All intended tank mix combinations should be
used only in recommended areas on the same broadcast
and weed species found on both labels. For application
methods and other use specifications, use the most
restricted limitations from labeling of both products.
MCP Amine Herbicide may be tank mixed with
Harmony® for selective post-emergence control of certain
weeds on Wheat and Barley. Use MCP Amine Herbicide
at the rate of 1/8 to 3/8 pound acid equivalent (a.e.) per
acre. Nonionic surfactant may be added at 1 to 2 pints
per 100 gallons of spray volume; however, the addition of
a surfactant may increase the chance of crop injury. Use
the 1 to 2 pint rate of surfactant with 1/8 pound a.e. of
MCP Amine Herbicide. Higher rates may be used, but do
not exceed highest rate allowed on the label. Always mix
Harmony in water prior to adding MCP Amine Herbicide
and surfactant.
MCP Amine Herbicide may be tank mixed with
Harmony® Extra for use on Wheat, Barley, and Oats.
For best results, add MCP Amine to the tank at 1/8 to 3/8
pound a.e. per acre. Nonionic surfactant may be added
to mixture at 1 to 2 pints per 100 gallons of spray volume;
however, adding surfactant may increase the potential for
crop injury. In tank mixes containing 1/8 pound a.e. per
acre of MCP Amine per acre, add 1 to 2 pints of
surfactant; in tank containing 1/4 to 3/8 pound a.e. per
acre, add 1 pint of surfactant. Higher rates of MCP
Amine may be used, but do not exceed the highest rate
allowed by this label. Always mix Harmony Extra with
water prior to adding MCPA and add the surfactant last.
MCP Amine Herbicide may also be tank mixed with
Harmony Extra for the control of Com gromwell, Wild
buckwheat, and Vetch (common and hairy). In Oats, also
controls Vetch (common and hairy), Wild garlic, and Wild
radish.
MCP Amine may be tank mixed with Ally® after weeds
have emerged. For best results, use 1/10 ounce of Ally
7//1
per acre, add MCP Amine to the tank at 1/4 to 1/2 pound
a.e. per acre. Nonionic surfactant may be added to the
mixture at 1/2 to 1 quart per 100 gallons of spray solution;
however, adding surfactant may increase the potential for
crop injury. Apply MCP Amine plus Ally after three to
five-leaf stage, but before boot (with Durum and
Wampum varieties, do not apply before tillering). Always
mix Ally in water prior to adding MCP Amine and
surfactant. Always add surfactant last. MCPA and Ally
can be tank mixed for use on Wheat or Barley or in
pastures and rangelands for the control of Blue mustard,
Flixweed, Tansy mustard, Canadian thistle, Sow1histle,
Corn gromwell, Prostate knotweed, Sunflower
(common/volunteer), and Wild buckwheat.
MCP Amine may be tank mixed with Express® for use on
Wheat and Barley. For best results, add MCP Amine to
the tank at 1/8 to 3/8 pound a.e. per acre. Nonionic
surfactant may be added to the mixture at 1 to 2 pints per
100 gallons of spray volume; however, adding surfactant
may increase the potential for crop damage. Tank mixes
containing 1/8 pound a.e. MCP Amine per acre, add 1 to
2 pints of surfactant; in tank mixes containing 1/4 to 3/8
pound a.e. of MCP Amine per acre, add 1 pint of
surfactant. Higher rates of MCP Amine may be used, but
do not exceed the highest rate allowed on the label.
Always mix Express and water prior to adding MCPA and
add the surfactant last. MCP Amine and Express may
also be used to control Vetch (common and hairy), Wild
garlic, and Wild rice.
MCP Amine may be used annually with Glean® FC after
weeds have emerged. For best results, use 1/6 to 113
ounce of Glean FC per acre; add MCP Amine to the tank
at 1/4 to 1/2 pound a.e. per acre. Nonionic surfactant
may be added to the mixture at 1/2 to 1 quart per 100
gallons of spray solution; however, adding surfactant may
increase the potential for crop injury. Do not add
surfactant when Glean FC and MCP Amine are tank
mixed with a liquid fertilizer. Apply MCP Amine plus
Glean FC after the three to five-leaf stage, but before
boot. Applying a tank mixture of MCP Amine and Glean
FC, with fertilizer when temperatures are below freezing
or when crop is stressed in cold weather, just prior to
winter dormancy, can r~.sult in severe foliar bum and/or
crop injury. Do not apply MCP Amine plus Glean FC in
combination with organophosphate insecticides.
MCP Amine may be tank mixed with Finesse® in Wheat
and Barley for postemergent broad leaf weed control. For
best results, use 1/5 to 2/5 ounce of Finesse per acre,
add MCP Amine to the tank at 1/4 to 1/2 pound a.e. per
acre. Nonionic surfactant may be added to the mixture at
1/2 to 1 quart per 100 gallons of spray solution; however,
• adding surfactant may increase the potential for crop
injury. Do not add surfactant when MCP Amine and
Finesse are applied with liquid fertilizer. Apply MCP
Amine plus Finesse after the three to five-leaf stage, but
before boot stage. Applying tank mixture of MCP Amine,
Finesse, and a liquid fertilizer when temperatures are
below freezing or when the crop is stressed from cold
weather, just prior to winter dormancy, can result in foliar
bum and/or crop injury. Do not apply MCP Amine plus
Finesse in combination with organophosphate
insecticides.
MCP Amine may be used with Buctril® in Wheat, Barley,
Oats, and Rye in the four-leaf stage, but before jointing.
This tank mix improves control of Mustards, Pigweed,
and Kochia. Apply to weeds up to four-leaf stage, two
inches in height to one inch in diameter, whichever
comes first. Use at a rate of 1/4 to 112 pound a.e. per
acre of MCPA and 1 to 2 pints per acre of Buctril. Do not
use this tank mixture in areas where Alfalfa or other
legumes have been planted.
MCP Amine may be tank mixed with Banvel® Herbicide
for fall and spring-seeded wheat. Applications to fall­
seeded wheat must be made prior to jointing stage and to
spring-seeded wheat before the wheat exceeds the five­
leaf stage. Apply 2 to 4 fluid ounces of Banvel and 8 to
12 fluid ounces of MCP Amine per acre. For use on fall­
seeded wheat only, apply 3 to 4 fluid ounces of Banvel
with 1 to 2 pints of MCP Amine per acre. Do not use
unless potential crop injury will be acceptable. For fall­
seeded Barley, apply 2 to 4 fluid ounces of Banvel with 8
to 12 fluid ounces of MCP Amine per acre. This mixture
must be applied to fall-seeded Barley prior to jointing
stage. For spring Barley varieties that are seeded during
the winter months or later, follow the rates and timings
given for spring-seeded Barley. For spring-seeded
Barley, application must be made before Barley exceeds
the four-leaf stage. Apply 2 to 3 fluid ounces of Banvel
Herbicide with 8 to 12 fluid ounces of MCP Amine per
acre. For fall and spring-seeded Oats, application must
be made before spring-seeded Oats exceed the five-leaf
stage. Applications to fall-seeded Oats must be made
prior to the jointing stage. Use 2 to 4 fluid ounces of
Banvel with 8 to 12 fluid ounces of MCP Amine per acre.
For grasses grown for seed, such as Bermudagrass,
Bluegrass, Fescue, and Ryegrass, application must be
made after the grass seed crop begins to joint. For the
best performance, make applications when weeds are in
~/"
the two to four-leaf stage and rosettes are less than two
inches across. Use the higher level of listed ranges when
treating more mature weeds or dense vegetative growth .
Apply 1/2 to 2 pints of Banvel with 1 to 2 pints of MCP
Amine per acre.
Herbicides other than Sulfonylureas, such as MCP
Amine, tank mixed with Banvel® SGF will offer more
consistent control of sulfonylureas-resistant weeds.
Surfactants are not recommended when applying this
tank mix on small grains. This tank mix must be applied
to fall-seeded Wheat prior to the jointing stage. For
spring-~eeded Wheat, applications must be made before
wheat exceeds the five-leaf stage. Apply 4 to 8 fluid
ounces of Banvel SGF with water before adding 8 to 12
inches of MCP Amine per acre. Always add MCP Amine
after diluting Banvel SGF. For fall-seeded Wheat only,
apply 6 to 8 fluid ounces of Banvel SGF with 1 to 2 pints
of MCP Amine per acre. Do not use unless potential crop
injury will be acceptable. For fall-seeded Barley,
application must be made prior to jointing stage. Apply 4
to 8 fluid ounces of Banvel SGF with 8 to 12 fluid ounces
of MCP Amine per acre. For spring Barley varieties that
are seeded during the winter months or later, follow the
rates and timing given for spring-seeded Barley. Spring­
seeded Barley must be applied before Barley exceeds
the four-leaf stage. Apply 4 to 6 fluid ounces of Banvel
SGF with 8 to 12 ounces of MCP Amine per acre. For fall
and spring-seeded Oats, this tank mix must be applied
before spring-seeded Oats exceed the five-leaf stage.
Applications to fall-seeded Oats must be made prior to
the jointing stage. Apply 4 to 8 fluid ounces of Banvel
SGF with 8 to 12 fluid ounces of MCP Amine per acre.
For grasses grown for seed, such as Bermudagrass,
Bluegrass, Fescue, and Ryegrass, tank mixes with
Banvel SGF and MCP Amine may be used to control
broad leaf weeds.
MCP Amine may be tank mixed with Tordon® 22K, a
restricted-use pesticide. For use on Barley, Oats, and
Wheat not underseeded with a legume (which is not flood
or sub-irrigated and not rotated to broad leaf crops).
MCP Amine may be tank mixed with Curtail®. Apply
Curtail at a rate of 2 to '2,~2/3 pints plus MCP Amine using
up to 112 pint per acre in the spring to actively growing
Wheat or Barley once four leaves have unfolded on the
main stem and tillering has begun up to the jointing stage
(first node of main stem detectable). To control or
suppress weeds, make application at the maximum
emergence of the target weeds, but before they exceed
three inches in height or diameter (four rosettes). To
obtain season-long control of perennial weeds, such as
Canada thistle, apply after the majority of the weed's
basal leaves have emerged from the soil, but before bud
stage. A late timing of application (when the grain is
between the jointing and boot stages) may be used to
treat later-emerging weeds; however, do not apply unless
the risk of injury is acceptable. Do not apply after the
boot stage. NOTE: Higher rates of Curtail or any
application of Curtail following spring postemergence
treatment with MCPA may increase risk of crop injury.
MCP Amine may be tank mixed with Stinger® for weed
control in Wheat, Barley, and Oats. Apply 1/4 to 1/3 pint
of Stinger plus 1/2 to 1 pint of MCP Amine per acre from
the three-leaf stage up to early boot stage of growth. For
control of perennial weeds, such as Canada thistle, 1/3
pint of Stinger per acre should be used. Russian
knapweed will only be suppressed at this rate.
MCP Amine may be tank mixed with Stinger for
application in grasses grown for seed. Apply only to
established grasses before the boot stage. Application in
the boot stage and beyond can increase injury. Do not
apply to Bentgrass unless injury can be tolerated. For
control of late emergent Canada thistle, a pre-harvested
treatment may be made after the grass seed is fully
developed. Treatment of Canada thistle at the bud stage
or later may result in less consistent control. Post­
harvest, fall treatments may be made to actively growing
Canada thistle after the majority of basil leaves have
emerged. Use 2 to 4 pints of MCP Amine with 1/4 to 2J3
pint of Stinger per acre. For control of annual weeds and
Canada thistle, treat as necessary, but do not exceed 213
pint of Stinger per acre per season. NOTE: Do not tank
mix Stinger with MCPA unless the risk of injury is
acceptable.
MCP Amine may be used in combination with Poasl®
and Buctril® for grass and broad leaf weed control in Flax.
Controls a mixed population of grasses and broadleaf
weeds listed as susceptible on the respective product
labels. Prepare the tank mix by adding MCP Amine to
half the final water volume, then crop oil concentrate,
then Poas!, then Buctril, and bring the mixture to the final
volume. Agitation must be continuous from the time of
mixing through spraying. Mix these three products
according to the rates recommended on the respective
product labels, up to a maximum of one pint of Buctril
equivalent per acre, or up to a maximum of 1/4 pound
MCP Amine a.e. per acre. Do not delay spraying
broad leaf weeds even though grassy weeds are not in
correct stage for treatment. Buctril or Poast applied with
qll/
MCP Amine may cause leaf bum, retarded growth, and
delayed maturity of the crop. Some reduced grass
control may be experienced with this tank mix. Do not
add ammonium sulfate or UAN solutions to this tank mix.
