' (2) Orange or yellow hawkweeds: Apply Milestone at 4 to 7 fl oz per acre to plants in the bolting stage of development. (3) Diffuse,spotted,and squarrose knapweeds:Apply Milestone at 5 to 7 fl oz per acre when plants are actively growing with the optimum time of application occurring from rosette to the bolting stages of development or in the fall. Plants will be controlled by mid-summer and fall applications even though plants may not show any changes in form or stature the year of application. ' (4) Russian knapweed: Apply Milestone at 5 to 7 fl oz per acre to plants in the spring and summer at early bud to flowering stages and to dormant plants in the fall. (5) Mullein: Apply to the rosette stage (6) Tropical soda apple: Apply Milestone at 5 to 7 fl oz per acre at any growth stage, but application by flowering will reduce seed production potential. ' (7) Malta,purple,and yellow starthistle: Apply Milestone at 3 to 5 fl oz per acre to plants at the rosette through bolting growth stages. (8) Bull,musk,and plumeless thistles: Apply Milestone at 3 to 5 fl oz per acre in the spring and early summer to rosette or bolting plants or in the fall to seedlings and rosettes. Apply at 4 to 5 fl oz when plants are at the late bolt through early flowering growth stages. 2,4-D at 1 lb ae/acre should be tank-mixed with Milestone starting at the late bud stages (9) Canada thistle: Apply Milestone at 5 to 7 fl oz per acre in the spring after all plants have fully emerged(some may be budding)until the oldest ' plants are in full flower stage. Use the higher rate when applying to the flower stage. Applications are also effective in the fall before a killing frost. Use higher rates for older/dense stands or for longer residual control. (10) Absinth wormwood: Apply 6 to 7 fl oz per acre before wormwood is 12 inches tall. When applying by air on CRP,coverage is important and a minimum of 3 GPA is specified. Remove old duff and litter by fire or mowing for best results (11) Invasive knotweeds:Japanese,Bohemian,giant knotweeds:Optimum suppression of invasive knotweeds with Milestone herbicide is obtained ' when applications are made to plants that are at least 3 to 4 feet tall. Results of field trials conducted in the western U.S.indicate that high volume applications(100 gpa or greater)of Milestone at 7 fl oz/A or a spot treatment rate up to 14 fl oz/A applied in summer will provide good control of invasive knotweeds. In the upper Midwest,mowing in summer followed by fall application of Milestone(prior to frost)provided the best control. Infestations of invasive knotweed that are mowed should be allowed to regrow to at least 3 feet in height prior to herbicide treatment. Monitoring and follow-up herbicide treatments on regrowth will be necessary to control resprouts and achieve long-term control. ' (12) Purple loosestrife:For optimum control apply Milestone at 7 fl oz per acre plus 1 pt to 1 qt of 2,4-D amine or 1 to 2 qts of Garlon 3A. Spot treatments I may also be made by applying Milestone at 14 fl oz(see Spot treatment section of the label)with or without the addition of 2,4-D or Garlon 3A. (13) Fiddleneck:For optimum control apply Milestone at 4 to 7 fl oz per acre when the plants are young and before flowering. Use higher rates if the plants are older and larger.In California optimal application timing is November through March. i 8 Specimen Label Revised 02-27-18 I
