Triple rinse empty containers as instructed above and add the rinsate to the mixing tank. <br />Cleaning of Equipment: When cleaning equipment, do not pour the washwater on the ground; spray or drain away from <br />wells and other water sources. <br />SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT <br />A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind direction, wind speed, temperature, relative humidity) and <br />method of application (e.g., ground, aerial, airblast, chemigation) can influence pesticide drift. The applicator must evaluate <br />all factors and make appropriate adjustments when applying this product. <br />Droplet Size <br />When applying sprays that contain 2,4-D as the sole active ingredient, or when applying sprays that contain 2,4-D mixed <br />with active ingredients that require a Coarse or coarser spray, apply only as a Coarse or coarser spray (ASAE standard <br />572) or volume mean diameter of 385 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles. <br />When applying sprays that contain 2,4-D mixed with other active ingredients that require a Medium or more fine spray, <br />apply only as a Medium or coarser spray (ASAE standard 572) or a volume mean diameter of 300 microns or greater for <br />spinning atomizer nozzles. <br />Wind Speed <br />Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Only apply this product if the wind direction favors on-target disposition <br />and there are not sensitive areas (including, but not limited to, residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for <br />nontarget species, nontarget crops) within 250 feet downwind. If applying a Medium spray, leave one swath unsprayed at <br />the downwind edge of the treated field. <br />Temperature Inversions <br />If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must determine if: a) conditions of temperature inversion exist, or <br />b) stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make applications into areas of temperature <br />inversions or stable atmospheric conditions. <br />Susceptible Plants <br />Do not apply under circumstances where spray drift may occur to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or <br />crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption. Susceptible crops include, but are not limited to, cotton, okra, <br />flowers, grapes (in growing stage), fruit trees (foliage), soybeans (vegetable stage), ornamentals, sunflowers, tomatoes, <br />beans, and other vegetables, or tobacco. Small amounts of spray drift that might not be visible may injure susceptible <br />broadleaf plants. <br />Other State and Local Requirements <br />Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regarding application of 2,4-D herbicides. Where <br />states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. <br />Equipment <br />All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or <br />surrogates. <br />The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter. <br />Release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight safety. Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 <br />feet above the crop canopy unless a greater heights is required for aircraft safety. This requirements does not apply to <br />forestry or rights-of-way applications.
