ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS:
This product is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Drift or runoff may adversely
affect aquatic invertebrates and 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 washwater.
PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Hazards to Humans & Domestic Animals
DANGER: Corrosive. Causes irreversible eye damage. Do not get in eyes or
on clothing. Harmful if absorbed through skin or if swallowed. Avoid contact
with skin, eyes or clothing.
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. Most
cases of groundwater contamination involving phenoxy herbicides such as
2,4-D and MCPP-p have been associated with mixing/loading and disposal
sites. Caution should be exercised when handling 2,4-D and MCPP-p
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.
Applicators and other handlers must wear:

Use the largest droplet size consistent with acceptable efficacy. Formation
of very small droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by
orienting nozzles away from the air stream as much as possible and by
avoiding excessive spray boom pressure. For ground boom and aerial
applications, use medium or coarser spray nozzles according to ASAE 572
definition for standard nozzles or a volume mean diameter (VMD) of
300 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles.

vegetation management or for
low maintenance. (Kentucky
bluegrass, tall fescue, smooth
bromegrass and orchardgrass)
Do not make aerial or ground applications into areas of temperature
inversions. Inversions are characterized by stable air and increasing temper-
atures with increasing distance above the ground. Mist or fog may indicate
the presence of an inversion in humid areas. Where permissible by local
regulations, the applicator may detect the presence of an inversion by
producing smoke and observing a smoke layer near the ground surface.
Low humidity and high temperatures increase the evaporation rate of spray
droplets and therefore the likelihood of increased spray drift. Avoid spraying
during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures.

APPLICATION SCHEDULES
Apply this product to broadleaf weeds that are young and actively growing
for the best results. Spring and fall treatments under adequate soil moisture
conditions are preferred to the summer treatments. Generally, summer
broadcast applications to older, drought stressed weeds are less effective.
Fall applications provide improved control for emerged winter annuals and
perennials such as henbit, chickweed, clover and ground ivy.
• Apply any time the emerged broadleaf weeds are actively growing.
• Calibration and proper application are essential when using this product.
• Uniform applications are essential when using this product. Over applica-
tion or rates above those specified on this label including excessive over-
laps of this product can cause turf injury.
• Hand-held techniques: Wands fitted with flat fan nozzle tips may be used
with the appropriate technique. Flat fan nozzles should not be waved in a
back-and-forth motion, or in a side-to-side motion, or in a swinging arm
motion. Instead, the nozzle should be held stationary at the proper height.
Side-to-side motions result in uneven coverage.
• Follow-up applications as spot treatments at a 2-6 week interval are
recommended for more mature weeds, for dense infestations, and for
adverse environmental conditions.
• For cool-season turfgrass: Mix 1.2-1.5 fl. oz. of this product per one
(1.0) gallon of water for treatment of approximately 1,000 sq.ft of turfgrass.
Apply any time the emerged broadleaf weeds are susceptible.
Sequential broadcast applications or follow-up applications as spot treat-
ments at a 2-6 week interval are recommended for more mature weeds, for
dense infestations, and for adverse environmental conditions.
Spot treatments during the summer may be appropriate for sparse infesta-
tions, or as a follow-up treatment, or any time broadleaf weeds are actively
growing.
Extremes in environmental conditions e.g. temperature and moisture, soil
conditions, and cultural practices may affect the activity of this product. Under
warm moist conditions, herbicide symptoms may be accelerated. While under
very dry conditions, the expression of herbicide symptoms is delayed, and
weeds hardened off by drought are less susceptible to this product.
