APPLICATION EQUIPMENT , <br /> Use only nozzles that will produce uniform spray patterns and thorough coverage, spaced up to 20 inches apart. Select nozzles designed to <br /> L, produce minimal amounts of fine spray particles.Do not use controlled droplet applicator(CDA)nozzles as erratic coverage can cause incon- <br /> sistent weed control. Do not use selective application equipment such as recirculating sprayers or wiper applicators. Drift reduction nozzles <br /> such as Delavan®Raindrop Drift Reduction Flat Spray Tip, RF Tips,XR Tee JetTM Extended range Flat Spray Tips,or other brands of compa- <br /> rable capabilities are recommended. <br /> GROUND APPLICATION <br /> Whenever possible, spray mixtures containing QUINSTAR®4L should be applied using ground spray equipment. Do not make spray applica- <br /> tions when wind speed is greater than 10 mph, when air temperatures exceed 90°F, or when environmental conditions exist for temperature <br /> inversions. <br /> Application Information: <br /> Rice (Preplant/Pre-emergence and Delayed Pre-emergence): <br /> Water Volume:Apply 10-40 gallons of water per broadcast acre. ' <br /> Spray Pressure: Use 25-40 psi <br /> Rice(Postemergence): <br /> Water Volume:Apply 10-20 gallons of water per broadcast acre. ' <br /> Spray Pressure: Use 25-40 psi <br /> Fallow Systems, Grass Grown for Seed, Preplant Wheat, Preplant and In-Crop Sorghum, and Non-Crop Areas: <br /> Water Volume:Apply 5-30 gallons of water per broadcast acre. <br /> Spray Pressure: Use a maximum of 30 psi. ' <br /> AIR APPLICATION <br /> If application with ground spray equipment is not possible, application by aircraft is acceptable, provided the aerial applicator understands <br /> the risks and assumes the liability associated with accidental spray drift from aerial application. ' <br /> Do not make spray applications when wind speed is greater than 8 mph, when air temperatures exceed 90°F,or when environmental condi- <br /> tions exist for temperature inversions. <br /> I <br /> Application Information: ' <br /> Water Volume:Apply a minimum of 5 gallons of water per acre for Rice and 3-10 gallons of water per acre for all other uses. <br /> Spray Pressure: Use a maximum 40 psi. <br /> MIXING ORDER ' <br /> 1. Water: Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer tank three-quarters full of clean water. <br /> 2. Agitation: Maintain constant agitation throughout mixing and application. <br /> 3. Products in PVA bags: Place any product contained in water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing tank. Wait until all water-soluble PVA bags <br /> have fully dissolved and the product is evenly mixed in the spray tank before continuing. <br /> 4. Water-dispersible products(such as wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or suspoemulsions) <br /> 5. Water-soluble products <br /> 6. Emulsifiable concentrates: If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after the component has been added. <br /> 7. Water-soluble additives: If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after the component has been added. ' <br /> 8. Remaining quantity water <br /> Maintain constant agitation during application. <br /> COMPATIBILITY TEST FOR MIX COMPONENTS ' <br /> Add components in the following sequence using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint of recommended label rate per <br /> acre. <br /> 1. Water: For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3-1/3 cups(800 ml)of water. For other spray volumes,adjust rates accordingly. Use only <br /> water from the intended source at the source temperature. ' <br /> IM 2. Products in PVA bags:Cut an opening in the water-soluble PVA bag just large enough to use a teaspoon for measuring purposes. Use the <br /> opened water-soluble PVA bag first when preparing spray solution. Cap the jar and invert 10 cycles. <br /> 3. Water-dispersible products including QUiNSTAR®4L, such as dry flowables, wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or suspo-emul- <br /> sions: For the 0.5 pint rate, use 1 teaspoon. For the 0.75 pint rate, use 1.5 teaspoons. Cap the jar and invert 10 cycles. ' <br /> 4. Water-soluble products: Cap the jar and invert 10 cycles. <br /> 5. Emulsifiable concentrates: (methylated seed oil or crop oil concentrate when applicable). Cap the jar and invert 10 cycles. <br /> 6. Water-soluble additives(AMS or LAN when applicable): Cap the jar and invert 10 cycles. <br /> 1 7. Let the solution stand for 15 minutes. ' <br /> 8. Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability.The spray solution should not have free oil on the surface, nor fine particles that precipi- <br /> tate to the bottom, nor thick(clabbered)texture. Do not use any spray solution that could clog spray nozzles. <br /> 4 <br /> i <br /> I <br />
