<br />GENERAL INFORMATION
<br />PLATEAU herbicide is an aqueous solution to be mixed with water and an
<br />adjuvant and applied as a spiny solution ro provide weed control and/or turf
<br />height suppression on pastures, rangeland (see "GUIDELINES FOR RANGE-
<br />LAND USE" section), Federal Conservadm Reserve Program (CRP) ]and and
<br />noncropland areas including ndncropland areas that may be grazed or cut for
<br />hay. Examples of noncropland areas rnGude, but arc not limited m raihoad,
<br />utility, pipeline and highway rights-of--way, railreed crossings, utility plant sites,
<br />petroleum rank farms, pumping installations, non-agriculmml fence rows, storage
<br />areas, non-irrigation ditchbanks, prairie sites, airports, industrial turf, golf courses,
<br />recrtatiorial and non-residential turf and other similar areas. PLATEAU herbicide
<br />may be used for the release of bermudagrass, bahiagrass, smooth bromegrass,
<br />wheatgrass, "wildtype" common Kentucky bluegrass, native prairiegrass, wild-
<br />flowers, crown vetch, othtt grosses and certain legumes. PLATEAU herbicide can
<br />also be used for weed control during the establishment of native pmiriegrasses and
<br />other grasses (see "REVEGETATION WITH PRAIRIEGRASSES AND OTID?R
<br />FORAGE GRASSES" section).
<br />PLATEAU herbicide is readily absorbed through leaves, stems, and roots and is
<br />tmnslocated rapidly throughout the plant, with accumulation in the metistematrc
<br />regions. Treated plants stop growing soon after spray application. Chlorosis ap-
<br />pears List in the newest leaves, and necrosis spreads from this point In perennials,
<br />th< herbicide is translocated into, and kills, underground storage organs which
<br />prevents regrowth. Chlorosis and tissue necrosis may not be apparent in some
<br />plant species for several weeks after application. Complete kill of plants may
<br />not occur for several weeks after application. Adequate soil moismre is impor-
<br />tant for opfunum PLATEAU herbicide activity. When adequate soil moismre is
<br />presen5 PI-ATEAU herbicide will provide residual control of susceptible germi-
<br />nating weeds. Activity on esmblished weeds will depend on the weed species and
<br />mating depth. PLATEAU herbicide is rainfas[ one hour after application.
<br />PLATEAU herbicide will control annual end perennial grasses and broadleaf
<br />weeds and vine species. PLATEAU herbicide will. provide residual control of
<br />labeled weeds which germinate in the treated area. Certain brash species and
<br />omarnentals may be injured by direct applicadom of PLATEAU herbicide to
<br />their foliage. This product may be applied either preemergence or postemergence
<br />[o the weeds. However, postemergence application is the method of chmce in
<br />most situations, particularly for perennial species. For maximum activity, weeds
<br />should be growing vigorously at the time of posumergence applications and
<br />the spray solution should include an adjuvant (see "SPRAY AD7UVAN?S POR
<br />POSIEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS" section). These solutions maybe applied
<br />az a broadcast or as a spot treatment using backpack, or ground equipment.

<br />PLATEAU herbicide may be applied in the dormant or growing season for weed
<br />control.
<br />Tolerance of desirable gross species to PLATEAU herbicide may be reduced
<br />when grasses are stressed due to insect damage, disease, environmental conditions,
<br />shade, poorly drained soils or other causes.
<br />Depending on the turf type being treated, some yellowing of and may occur
<br />with applications during the growing season. Depending an weather condidons,
<br />yellowing will usually disappear in 2 to 4 weeks.
<br />PLATEAU herbicide should not be applied to newly seeded or sprigged grass
<br />stands, nnless otherwise stated in this label (see ' REVEGETATION WITH
<br />PRAIRIEGRASSES AND OTHER FORAGE GRASSES" section).
<br />MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
<br />Fill the spray tank one-half [o three-quarters full with clean water. Use a calibrated
<br />measuring device to measure [hc required amount of PLATEAU herbicide. Add
<br />PLATEAU herbicide to the spiny tank while agitating. Fill the remainder of the
<br />tank with water.
<br />For postemergence applications, add a surfactant m the spiny tank (sec "SPRAY
<br />ADJUVANTS FOR POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS" section of this label
<br />for specific recommendations). Maintain agitation while spraying to ensure a
<br />uniform spray mixture. An anufoaming agent may be added to the rank if needed.
<br />When rank-mixing PLATEAU herbicide with recommended herbicides, add wet-
<br />table powders, dispersible granules or other dry formulations firsS then EC's, then
<br />PLATEAU herbicide, and then an adjuvant.
<br />SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS
<br />DO NOT apply during windy or gusty conditions unless applications are being
<br />made with a drift control agent and/or an enclosed or shielded spiny rysum. DO
<br />NOT apply if rainfall is threatening. Rainfall within I hour after PLATEAU
<br />herbicide application may reduce weed control.
<br />GROUND APPLICATIONS:
<br />Uniformly apply with properly calibmud ground equipment in 2 or molt gallons
<br />of water per acre. Application equipment, specially designed m make low volume
<br />application should be used when making applications using less than 10 gallons
<br />of water per acre. A spiny pressure of 20 to 40 psi is recommended.
<br />To achieve acceptable control of the tagget vegetation, good spray coverage of
<br />the weed foliage (postemergence) or soil surface (preemergence) is required. To
<br />achieve good spray coverage the sprayer must be calibrated m deliver the recom-
<br />mended spiny volume and pmssure and adjust the spray boom height m ensure
<br />proper coverage of weed foliage or soil surface (according to the manufacturer's
<br />reconunrndation). Avoid overlaps when spraying.
<br />SPOT 7TEA1'MENTS:
<br />To prepare the spiny solutioq thoroughly race in water 025 to 1.5% (0.3 m
<br />1.9 oz/gaEon waur) PLATEAU herbicide plus an adjuvant (see "SPRAY AD-
<br />JWAN'!S FOR POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS" secnon). A methylaud
<br />seed oil at 1 %v/v is the recommendedspray adjuvantexceptwhen treating seedling
<br />prairiegrasses and wildflowers. See section on desired species and do not exceed
<br />the recommended PLATEAU rote per acre. Also ue "WEEDS CONTROLLED"
<br />and "SPECIAL WEED CONTROL" sections for specific rote and/or tank-mix
<br />recommendations.
<br />AERIAL. APPLICATION:
<br />All precautions should be taken to minimize or eliminate spiny drift. Fixed wing
<br />aircraft and helicopters can be used to apply PLATEAU herbmidq however, when
<br />making applications by fixed wing aircraft maintain appropriau buffer zones m
<br />prevent ::pray drift out of the target area. Aerial equipment designed m minimize
<br />spray drift such as a helicopter equipped with a MICROFOILr'" boom, qr THRU-
<br />VALVETM boom or raindrop nozzles, must be used and calibrated. Exbept when
<br />applying with a MICROFOIL boom, a drift control agent may be added at Ute
<br />recommended label rote. To avoid drift, applications should not be made during
<br />invemion conditions, when winds are gusty, or under any other conditions that
<br />promote spiny drifr.
<br />Uniformly apply recommended amount of PLATEAU herbicide, using enough
<br />water volume to provide adequate coverage of targee area or foliage. Include ao
<br />adjuvant m the spiny solution (see "SPRAY ADJWANTS FOR POSTEMER-
<br />GENCE APPLICATIONS" secton). A foam reducing agent may be added at
<br />rite recommended rote, if needed. Aerial application to target species growing
<br />under the canopy of trees and brash may not receive sufficient spray coverage for
<br />effective control. For weed species with a recommended fall application timing
<br />(see "SPECIAL WEED COMROL" section), delaying the aenal application
<br />until tiers and brush have dropped their leaves can improve weed control and
<br />reduce [he potential for tree and brash injury (see "TOLERANCE OF 7REE5
<br />AND Bf:USH TO PLATEAU HERBICIDE" section).
<br />BvIPORTANT: Thoroughly clean application equipment, including landing gear,
<br />immediately after use of this product. Prolonged exposure of this product to
<br />uncoated steel (except stainless steel) surfaces may result io cortosion and failure
<br />of the exposed part. The maintenance of an organic coating (paint) may prevent
<br />coaosimt.
<br />Avoid overlaps when spraying.
<br />SPRAY ADJUVANTS FOR POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS
<br />Postemergence apphca[ions of PLATEAU herbicide require a spiny adjuvant.
<br />See "SPECIAL WEED CONTROL" section. Due to variations m surfacant
<br />contents, certain surfactants containing high amounts of alcohols, paraffin based
<br />petroleum oik, and other compouridswhich can increase phytotoxiciry m desirable
<br />vegetation, i[ is recommended to choose a low phytotoxic surfactant
