SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT: 
A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind direction, 
wind speed, temperature, relative humidity), and method of application 
(e.g;, ground, aerial, airblast, chemigation) can influence pesticide drift. 
The applicator must evaluate all factors and make appropriate 
adjustments when applying this product. 
Droplet Size 
When applying sprays that contain 2,4-0 as the sole active ingredient, 
or when applying sprays that contain 2,4-0 mixed with active 
ingredients that require a Coarse or coarser spray, apply only as a 
Coarse or coarser spray (ASAE standard 572) or volume mean 
diameter of 385 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles. 
When applying sprays that contain 2,4-0 mixed with other active 
ingredients that require a Medium or more fine spray, apply only as a 
Medium or coarser spray (ASAE standard 572) or a volume mean. 
diameter of 300 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles. 
Wind Speed 
Do not apply at wind speeds great than 15 mph. Only apply this product 
if the wind direction favors on-target deposition and there are not 
sensitive areas (including, but not limited to, residential areas, bodies of 
water, known habitat for nontarget species, nontarget crops) within 250 
feed downwind. If applying a Medium spray, leave one swath 
unsprayed at the downwind edge of the treated field. 
Temperature Inversions 
If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must 
determine if: a) conditions of temperature inversion exist, or b) stable 
atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make 
applications into areas of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric 
conditions. 
Susceptible Plants 
Do not apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, 
forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or crops thereof 
rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. Susceptible crops include, 
but are not limited to, cotton, okra, flowers, grapes (in growing stage), 
fruit trees (foliage), soybeans (vegetable stage), ornamentals, 
Revised storage & disposa127May2010 
sunflowers, tomatoes, beans, an'd other vegetables, or tobacco. Small 
amounts of spray. drift that might not be visible may injure susceptible 
broad leaf plants. I 
Other State and Local Requirements 
Applicators must follow all state an~ local pesticide drift requirements 
regarding application of 2,4-0 herbicides. Where states have more 
stringent regUlations, they must be'observed. 
Equipment . , 
All aerial and ground application1e<juipment must be properly 
maintained and calibrated using :a~prOPriate carriers or surrogates. 
The boom length 'must not exceJd 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the 
rotor blade diameter. . i 
Release spray at the lowest height:consistent with efficacy and flight. 
safety. Do not release spray at ~ h~ight greater than 10 feet above the 
crop canopy unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. This 
requirement does not apply to fo~e~try or rights-of-way applications. 
When applications are made with a, crosswind, the swath will be 
displaced downwind. The applicator must compensate for this by 
adjusting the path of the aircraft lJp}vind. 
Do not apply with a nozzle height g~eater than 4 feet above the crop · , canopy. 
2,4-0 esters may volatilize during qonditions of low humidity and high 
temperatures. Do not apply duri~g Conditions of low humidity and high 
temperatures. ' 
Do not apply this product in a w~y \hat will contact workers or other 
persons, either directly or throug~ qrift. Only protected handlers may be 
in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your 
State or Tribe, consult the agency tesponsible for pesticide regulation. 
I 
MIXING AND LOADING: ! 
The mixing and loading of spray lmiktures into the spray equipment 
must be carried out on an impervioOs pad (Le., concrete slab, plastic 
sheeting) large enough to catch any spilled material. If spills occur, 
contain the spill by using an absorb'ent material (e.g., sand, earth, or 
synthetic absorbent). Dispose oflthe contaminated absorbent material 
I 
by placing in a plastiC bag and following disposal instructions on this 
label. ! : 
· i 
Triple rinse empty containers ana add the rinsate to the mixing tank. 
· ! , I 
• I 
Cleaning of Equipment: When d~aning equipment, do not pour the' 
washwater on the ground; spray 'or:drain over a large area away from 
wells and other water sources. f 
OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS 
Avoid application of spray or drift ofrspray to desirable plants, as this 
product may injure cotton, tomatge~, beans, peas, most vegetables, 
omamentals, grapes, or others. ~v$n minute quantities of the spray 
may cause severe injury. Accordingly application by airplanes should 
be made only when there is no hazard from drift. All sprays are likely to , . 
drift under certain conditions. The finer the spray, the greater the 
likelihood of drift effect. Coarse sprbys are less likely to drift. 
Use only amount needed. DO NOTjOVERDOSE. 
I 
i !

Since vapors of the ester in this product may injure susceptible plants in 
the vicinity, use only where there is no danger from such vaporization. 
Be sure that airplane spraying equipment has a quick-acting, effective 
cutoff valve, and is used from the lowest possible altitude by an aircraft 
operator experienced in the application of herbicides. 
Do not use same equipment for other purposes. If necessary to use 
sprayer for any other spraying, be sure to thoroughly clean all 
equipment with a suitable chemical cleaner. (1 qt. household ammonia 
in 20 to 25 gals. water - let stand ovemight, then rinse thoroughly with 
water). 
Do not store or place near fertilizers, seeds, plant insecticides, or 
fungicides. 
Excessive amounts of 2,4-0 LV Ester 4 in the soil may temporarily 
inhibit seed germination or plant growth. 
A SELECTIVE, EMULSIFIABLE OR OIL-MISCIBLE HERBICIDE 
FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY 
Always mix with water or oil (heater oil or diesel fuel recommended) so 
as to apply the recommended amount of 2,4-0 LV Ester 4 per acre in 
the amount of material necessary to cover an acre with the spraying 
equipment used. 
Apply 2,4-0 sprays at low pressures of approximately 30 to 50 pounds 
with nozzles adjusted to give a coarse, wetting, fan-shaped spray. For 
airplane application, adjust nozzles to produce a coarse, wetting spray 
of large droplets. 
For best results, apply 2,4-0 sprays when soil and climatic conditions 
are conductive to rapid growth. This product may be applied when 
temperatures range from 50°F to 95°F; results may be unsatisfactory 
below 65°F and above 95°F. Sprays applied under adverse conditions 
(abnormally cool or hot and dry weather or when weeds are near 
maturity) should contain maximum recommended dosage. Under such 
conditions, control resutts may not always be entirely satisfactory. 
Recommendations given are general. Because of varietal and local 
conditions, consult Agricultural Experiment Station or Extension Service 
weed specialists. 
AMOUNTS OF SPRAY MIXTURE TO APPLY 
AIRPLANE APPLICATION - Water - Dilute recommended amount of 
2,4-0 LV Ester 4 in 1-5 gallons of water and apply per acre. Oil - Dilute 
recommended amount in 1 gallon of heater oil or diesel fuel and apply 
per acre. 
GROUND SPRAYERS - Dilute recommended amount in 8 to 20 or 
more gallons of water and apply per acre. The amount of water required 
will depend upon the crop and type of equipment used. Thorough 
agitation of spray mixture is necessary for best results.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT: 
A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind direction, 
wind speed, temperature, relative humidity), and method of application 
(e.g., ground, aerial, airblast, chemigation) ean influence pesticide drift. 
The applicator must evaluate all factors and'make appropriate 
adjustments when applying this product. 
Droplet Size 
When applying sprays that contain ?,4-C'~ ar· the sole ac1ive ingredient, 
or when applying sprays that contain 2,4-0 mixed with active 
ingredients that require a Coarse or courser-spray, apply only as a 
Coarse or coarser spray (ASAE standarc (72) or VflhJm~ niean 
diameter of 385 microns or greater foJ.~pir;n\ng atomizer nozzles. 
When applying sprays that contain 2JO ~ixed with ')t1~r<lctive 
ingredients that require a Medium or more fine spray, apply only as a 
Medium or coarser spray (ASAE :standard 572) or a volum€. mean 
diameter of 300 microris or great~r for spinning atomizer nozzles. 
!

Wind Speed 
Do not apply at wind speeds great than 15 mph. Only apply this product 
if the wind direction favors on-target deposition and there are not 
sensitive areas (including, but not limited to, residential areas, bodies of 
water, known habitat for nontarget species, nontarget crops) within 250 
feed downwind. If applying a Medium spray, leave one swath 
unsprayed at the downwind edge of the treated field. 
Temperature Inversions 
If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must 
determine if: a) conditions of temperature inversion exist, or b) stable 
atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make 
applications into areas of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric 
conditions. 
Susceptible Plants 
Do not apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, 
forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or crops thereof 
rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. Susceptible crops include, 
but are not limited to, cotton, okra, flowers, grapes (in growing stage), 
fruit trees (foliage), soybeans (vegetable stage), ornamentals, 
sunflowers, tomatoes, beans, and other vegetables, or tobacco. Small 
amounts of spray drift that hlight not be visible may injure susceptible 
broad leaf plants. 
Other State and Local Requirements 
Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements 
regarding application of 2,4-0 herbicides. Where states have more 
stringent regulations, they must be observed. 
Equipment 
All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly 
maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or surrogates. 
The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the 
rotor blade diameter. 
Release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight 
safety. Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the 
crop canopy unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. This 
requirement does not apply to forestry or rights-of-way applications. 
When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be 
displaced downwind. The applicator must compensate for this by 
adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. 
Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop 
canopy. 
2,4-0 esters may volatilize during conditions of low humidity and high 
temperatures. Do not apply during conditions of low humidity and high 
temperatures. 
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 specifi to your 
State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation. 
MIXING AND LOADING: 
Revised storage & disposal 27May2010 
The mixing and loading or spray· mixtures into the spray eqUipment % 
must be carried out on an impervious pad (Le., concrete slab, plastic 
sheeting) large enough to catch "any spilled material. If spills occur, 
contain the spill by using an abs.orbent material (e.g., sand, earth, or 
synthetic absorbent). Dispose of the contaminated absorbent material 
by placing in a plastic bag and following disposal instructions on this 
label. 
Triple rinse empty containers and add the rinsate to the mixing tank. 
Cleaning of Equipment: When cleaning equipment, do not pour the 
washwater on the ground; spray or drain over a large area away from 
wells and other water sources. 
OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS 
Avoid application of spray or drift of spray to desirable plants, as this 
product may injure cotton, tomatoes, beans, peas, most vegetables, 
ornamentals, grapes, or others. Even minute quantities of the spray 
may cause severe injury. Accordingly application by airplanes should 
be made only when there is no hazard from drift. All sprays are likely to 
drift under certain conditions. The finer the spray, the greater the 
likelihood of drift effect. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift. 
Use only amount needed. DO NOT OVERDOSE. 
Since vapors of the ester in this product may injure susceptible plants in 
the vicinity, use only where there is no danger from such vaporization. 
Be sure that airplane spraying equipment has a quick-acting, effective 
cutoff valve, and is used from the lowest possible altitude by an aircraft 
operator experienced in the application of herbicides. 
Do not use same equipment for other purposes. If necessary to use 
sprayer for any other, spraying, be sure to thoroughly clean all 
equipment with a suitable chemical cleaner. (1 qt. household ammonia 
in 20 to 25 gals. water - let stand overnight, then rinse thoroughly with 
water). 
Do not store or place near fertilizers, seeds, plant insecticides, or 
fungiCides. 
Excessive amounts of 2,4-0 LV Ester 4 in the soil may temporarily 
inhibit seed germination or plantgrowth. 
A SELECTIVE, EMULSIFIABLE OR OIL-MISCIBLE HERBICIDE 
FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY 
Always mix with water or oil (heater oil or diesel fuel recommended) so 
as to apply the recommended amount of 2,4-0 LV Ester 4 per acre in 
the amount of material necessary to cover an acre with the spraying 
equipment used. 
Apply 2,4-0 sprays at low pressLires,(\(cp~roximately 30 to 50 pounds 
with nozzles adjusted to give a coar8e, ~etfng, fan-shaiDed spray. For 
airplane application, adjust nozzles to produce a coarse, wetting spray 
of large droplets. 
For best results, apply 2,4-0 sprays '.v::Jqr; Joil and cli,llati~conditions 
are conductive to rapid growth. This P.rcjuct~may be applied when 
temperatures range from 50°F to' 9501=; results may ~)~IJ,)~?,tisfactory 
below 65°F and above 95°F. Sprays applied under adverse conditions 
(abnormally cool or hot and dry weather or when we~ds are;,near

maturity) should contain maximum recommenced dosage. Under such 
conditions, control results may not always be entirely satisfactory. 
Rewmmen<i'ations given are general. Because of varietal and local 
conditions, consult Agricultural Experiment Station or Extension Service 
weed specialists. 
AMOUNTS OF SPRAY MIXTURE TO APPLY 
AIRPLANE APPLICATION - Water - Dilute recommended amount of 
2,4-0 LV Ester 4 in 1-5 gallons of water and apply per acre. Oil- Dilute 
recommended amount in 1 gallon of heater oil or diesel fuel and apply 
per acre. 
GROUND SPRAYERS - Dilute recommended amount in 8 to 20 or 
more gallons of water and apply per acre. The amount of water required 
will depend upon the crop and type of equipment used. Thorough 
agitation of spray mixture is necessary for best results.
