APPLY THESE SPRAY SOLUTIONS IN PROAERLY MABTFAINED AND CALIBRATED EQUIPMENT CAPABLE OF DELNERPIG DESIRED VOL- UMES. SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT AVOID DRIFT. EXTREME CARE MUST BE USED WHEN APPLYING THIS PRODUCT TO PREVENT INIURY TO DESIRABLE PLANTS AND CROPS. Do not allow the herbicide solution to mist, drip, drift or splash onto desirable vegetation since minute quantities of this product can cause severe damage or destmc[ion to the crop, plants or other areas on which treatment was eat imendcA. Avoiding spiny drift at the apylication site is the responsibility of the applies- tor. The intemcrion of many. equipment and weathu-related factors determine the potential for spiny drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. ~_ 7.1 Aerial Equipment DO NOT APPLY THIS PRODUCT USING AERIAL SPRAY EQUIPMENT EXCEPT UNDER CONDITIONS AS SPECIFIED WITHIN THIS LABEL.

Ensure uniform applicatian-To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped epplicatioq use appropriate marking devices. AERIAL SPRAY DRIFF MANAGEMENT The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. 1. 71re distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed $ the length of the wingspan or rotor. Z. Nozzles must always point backward, parallel with [he av stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. Importance of Droplet Size The most effective way m reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management so-ategy is to apply the largest droplets chat provide sutE- cient covemge and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potrndal, but will not prevent ddft if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see the "Wind" "Temperamre and Humidity", and "Temperature Inversions" sections of this Labe]). Controlling Droplet Stu • Volume: Use high-flow-rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spiny vo]- umc. Nozzles w$h the higher rated'flows produce larger droplets. • Pressure: Use the lower spiny pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher-flaw-rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. • Number of nozzles: Use the minimum number of noules that provide uniform covemge. • Nozzle orientation: Orieming nozzles so that the spray is released backwards, parallel to the airstream, wi6 produce larger droplets than other orientations. Significant deflection from the horizontal wrll reduce droplet size and increase ddfi potential. oule type: Use a nozzle type char is designed for the intended application. ith most nozzle types, nanower spiny angles produce larger droplets. Consider Using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types. • Boom length: For some use panems, inducing the effective boom length to less than $ of the wingspan or rotor length may funkier reduce daft withom reducing swath width.

Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces the exposure of the droplets m evaporation and wind. Swath Adjustment When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath wi0 be displaced down- wind. Therefore, on [he up and downwind edges of the field, Ibe applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller droplets, etc:). Wind Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 m 10 miles per hour. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potental at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 miles per hour due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Loce] tenain can influence wind panems. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patums and how [hry affect drift. Temperature and Humidity When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. Temperamre Inversions Applications should not occur during a tempemmrc inversion because drift po- tential is high. Temperamre inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in 8 concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due m the light variable winds common during inver- sions. Temperamre inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altiNde and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue inm the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by [he movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally N a concenvated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke [hat moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Sensitive Areas The product should only be applied when Ne potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies-of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target craps) is minimal (e.g., whrn wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas). Avoid direct application to any body of water. Aircraft Maintenaa<e Thoroughly wash aircraft, especia0y landing gear, after each day of spraying to remove residues of this product accumulated during spraying or from spills. PROLONGED EXPOSURE OF THiS PRODUCT' TO UNCOATED STEEL SUR• FACES MAY RESULT IN CORROSION AND POSSIBLE FAILURE OF THE PART. LANDING GEAR 18 MOST SUSCEPTIBLE. The maintenance of an organic coating (paint), which meets aerospace specification MIL-C-38413, may prevent conosion. 7.2 Ground Broadcast Equipment Use the recommended mfes of this product in 3 Io 40 gallons of water per acre as a broadcast spiny unless otherwise specified. As density ofwecds increases, spray volume should be increased within the recommended range to ensure complete coverage. Carefully select proper nozzles m avoid spraying a fine mist For best results with ground application equipment, use flat spiny nozzles. Check for even distribution of spiny droplets. . 7J Hand-Held or High•Volume Equipment Apply to foliage of vegetation m be controlled. For applications made on a spmy- to-wet basis, spiny covemge should be uniform and complete. Do not spiny to the point of mnofi. Use coarse sprays only. For recommended rates and timrng, refer to the "ANARJAL WEEDS-Hand-Held or High-Volume Equipment" se<non of this product label. 7A Selective Equipment This product may be applied through recirculating spray systems, shielded ap- plicators, hooded sprayers, wiper applicators or sponge bars, after dilution and thorough mixing with water, to listed weeds growing in any norvcrop site specified on this label. ]n cropping systems, hooded sprayers, shielded sprayers, and wipers may be used in row middles (in between rows of crop plants) where any dripping or leaking will not contact crop foliage, when listed under "7YPIS OF APPLICATION" in the crop sections of this product's labeling. Such equipment must be capable of preventing all crop contact with herbicide solutions and operated without leakage of spiny mists or dripping omo crop. Wipers over-the-rap of crops may be used only when specifically recommended in this product's labeling. AVOID CONTACT OF HERBICIDE WITH DESIRABLE VEGETATION. Contact of the herbicide solution with desirable vegetation may result in damage or destruction. Applicators used above desirable vegetation should be adjusted so that the lowest spray stream or wiper conmet point rs al ]east 2 inches above the desirable vegetation. Droplets, mist, foam or splatter of the herbicide solution settling oo desirable vegetation may result in discoloration, stunting or destruction. Applications made above the crops should be made when dre weeds are a minimum of 6 inchR above the desimbic vegetation. Bever results may be obtained when more of the weed is exposed to the herbicide solution. Weeds not contacted by the herbicide solution will not be affected. This may occur in dense clumps, 411 rights reserved.
