<br />rows, non-imgadon ditchbanks, and around farm buildings, and CAP acres. A
<br />non-ionic surfactant cleared for use on growing crops at the manufacmrcr's rec-
<br />ommended rate is recommended for al) applications of this product. Use a higher
<br />recommended rate of surfactant in the spiny mixture when applying lower spiny
<br />volumes per acre.
<br />General Use Precautions and Restrictions
<br />Maximum Applicafion Rate: Do not apply more than 4 pints per acre of
<br />Redeem R&P per annual growing season (1.]25 Ib ae of tdclopyr plus 0.375 lb
<br />ae of clopymlid).
<br />In California and Plorida, the maximum use rate is 2r/s pints (0.75 lb ae tdclopyr,
<br />0.25 lb ae clopyralid) per acre per annual use season.
<br />Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type tlf imigadon system.
<br />Rotation to Broadleaf Crops: Do not plant broadleaf crops such as tobacco,
<br />cotton, soybeans, sunflower, clover, alfalfa, and many others in treated areas until
<br />an adequately sensitive bioassay shows that clopymlid is no longer detectable m
<br />the soil.
<br />Field Bioassay Instructions: In fields previously treated with this product, plant
<br />short test rows of the intended rotational crop across the original d'nection of
<br />application in a manner to sample field conditions suck as soil texture, soil pH,
<br />drainage, and any other variable that could affect the seed bed of the new crop.
<br />Field bioassay at any time prior to planting of the intended rotadonal crop. Observe
<br />the test crop for herbicidal activity, such as poorstand (effect on seed germination)
<br />chlorosis (yellowing), and necrosis (dead ]eaves or shoots), or stunting (reduced
<br />growth). If herbicidal symptoms do not occur, the test crop can be grown. If
<br />there is apparent herbicidal activity, wait one yeaz before repeating bioassay or
<br />plan[ a crop rolerant to clopymlid such as barley, canola (rapeseed), grasses, field
<br />coin, oats, sugar beets, or wheat.
<br />Do not contaminate water intended for irrigation or domestic purposes: To
<br />avoid injury m crops or other desirable plants, do eat neat or allow spiny drift: to
<br />fafl onro banks or bodoms of irrigation ditches or other channels that cant' water
<br />that may be used for irrigation purposes.
<br />Tank Mixtures: Observe label of other products used in tank mixtures and folow
<br />all applicable label recommendations.
<br />Do not spray pastures if inJary to ezisdng forage legumes or other desirable
<br />broadleaf plants cannot be tolerated. This product will injure or kill legumes
<br />and most other broadleaf plants. However, the stand and growth of established
<br />perennial grasses is usually improved after trcatraent, especially when rainfall is
<br />adequate and gazing is deferred.
<br />Do not apply to desirable legume species with exposed roots or suckers such
<br />as pod bearing plans idea acacia, IocusS mimosa, redbud, or mesquite.
<br />Established grasses are tolerant to this product, but newty seeded glasses
<br />maybe injured anti] well established as indicated by tilledng, development of a
<br />secondary root system, and vigorous growth.
<br />Do not use on smooth brome grass grown for seed.
<br />Grazing and Haying Resnictions
<br />Grazing or harvesting green forage:
<br />1) Lacmtng dairy animals: Do no[ graze or harvest grern fomge from treated
<br />area for ]4 days after treatment
<br />2) Other Livestock: No grazing rcstdcdons.
<br />Haying (harvesting of dried forage):
<br />1) Lactating dairy animals: Do not harvest hay until the next growing season.
<br />2) Other Livestock: Do not harvest hay for 7 days afar treatment.
<br />Slaughter Restrictions:
<br />Withdraw livestock from grazing treated Bass or consumption of treated hay at
<br />least3 days before slaughter. This rcsniction applies to grazing during the season
<br />of u<atm<nt or hay harvested during t6c season of treatment
<br />Do not transfer livestock from treated grazing areas (or feeding of treau:d
<br />hay) m sensidve broadleaf crop areas without first allowing 7 days of grazing
<br />on an untreated pasture (or feeding of untreated hay). If livestock arc transferred
<br />within less than 7 days of grazing untreated pasture or caring untreated hay, urine
<br />and manure may contain enough clopymlid ro cause injury to sensidve broadleaf
<br />plants.
<br />Grating poisonous plants: Herbicide applicadon may increase palatability of
<br />certain poisonous plans. Do not gran treated azeas until poisonous plane arc
<br />dry and no longer palatable to livestock.
<br />Do not apply this product with a mistblower.
<br />Avoiding Injury to Non-target Plants
<br />Ibis product can affect susc<pdble broadleaf plants directly through foliage and
<br />indirectly by root uptake from treated soil. 7hereforc, do not apply this product
<br />dmectly ro, or allow spray drifr m come into contact with vegetables, ornamentals,
<br />various susceptible bmadleafcrops, orother suscephblc desimblenon-target plans.
<br />Small auras of new legume seedlings should be established pdor to seeding more
<br />extensive areas m order to determine ifphytoroxic residues am present in the soil
<br />of previously Heated areas at levels that could inhibit legume establishment.
<br />Do not use plant materials from treated areas or manure from animals grazing
<br />Kealed areas for composting or mulching of desirable susceptible broadleaf
<br />plants or apply such materials to land used for growing broadleaf crops,
<br />ornamentals, orchards, or other susceptible desirable plans. Plant materials
<br />or manure may contain enough clopyralid m cause injury to susceptible plant
<br />species.
<br />Residues in Plants or Manure: Do not use plant residues, including hay or
<br />straw from Heated areas, or manure from animals that have grazed or consumed

<br />fomge from treated areas for composting ar mulching where susceptible plants
<br />may be grown the following season. Do not spread manure from animals that
<br />have grazed or consumed fomge or hay from treated areas on land used far
<br />growing susceptible broadleaf crops. To promote herbicidal decomposition, plant
<br />residues ::hould be evenly incorporated or homed. Breakdowm of clopymlid in
<br />crop residues or manure is more rapid under warm, moist soil conditions and may
<br />be enhanced by supplemental irrigation.
<br />Avoid Spray Drik
<br />Avoid spray ddfr since very small quantities of the spiny, which may no[ be
<br />visible, may severely injure suscepnble crops during active growth or dormant
<br />periods. Ilse coarse sprays ro minimize drift To aid in further reducing drift, a
<br />drift connol or deposition agent suitable for agricultural use maybe used with this
<br />product. If used, follow all use recommendations and precautions on the product
<br />label.
<br />Ground application: With ground equipment, spray drift can be lessrned by
<br />keeping dte spay boom as low as possible; by applying IO gallons or more of
<br />spray per acre; by keeping the operating spiny pressures at the manufacturer's
<br />minimum recommended pressures for the specified nozzle type used (law pressure
<br />nozzles are available from spiny equipment manufacturers); and by spraying when
<br />the wind velocity is low (Follow state regulations). Avoid application under
<br />complcroly calm conditions which may be conducive to air inversion, In hand-
<br />gun applicadons, select the minimum pressure required m obtain adequate plant
<br />coverage without forming a mist. Do sot apply wii6 a mist blower.
<br />Aerial application: With aircraft, drift can be lessened by using straight stream
<br />nozzles directed suaight back; by using a spiny boom no longer than 4. of the
<br />rotor or wing length of the aircraft; by using drift control systems or drift control
<br />additives, and by keeping spiny pressures low enough to provide costa spray
<br />droplets. Do not use a thickening agent with dte Microfoil or the Thin-Valve
<br />booms, or other systems which cannot accommodate thick sprays. Spiny only
<br />whe¢ the wind velocity is low (Follow state regulatiens). Avoid calm conditions
<br />which may be conducive ro air inversions.
<br />Do not apply 6t' aircraft when an air temperature inversion eziss: Such a
<br />condition is characterized by little or no wind and with lower air tempemttue
<br />near the ground than at higher levels. The use bf a smoke device on the aircmfr
<br />or condnubus smoke column at or near the site of application will indicate air
<br />dvecdon and velocity, and whether a tempemmre inversion is present, as indicated
<br />by horizontal ]ayeting of the smoke.
<br />Sprayer Clean-0uf
<br />To avoid injury ro desirable plants, equipmen[used to apply Redeem R&P should
<br />be thorouehly cleaned before reusing to apply any other chemicals.
<br />1. Rinse and flush application equipment thoroughly after use at least three dines
<br />with caner. Dispose of rinse water in non-cropland arcs away from water
<br />supplies. -
<br />2. During the second rinse, add 1 qt of househ¢Id ammonia for every 25 gals
<br />of water Circulate the solution through the endre system so that afl internal
<br />surface:. are contacud (15-20 minutes). Let the solution stand for several hours,
<br />prefemk~ly overnight.
<br />3. Flush the soludon out of the spiny rank through the boom.
<br />4. Rinse the system twice with clean water, rccirculadng and draining each dine.
<br />5. Remove nozzles and screens and clean separately.
<br />Spray Drift Management
<br />Avoid spiny drifr at the application site. The intemedon of many equipment-
<br />and-wea[hrr-related factors determine the potendal for spiny drift. Users are
<br />responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions.
<br />The following ddfr managementrequiremens must be followed to avoid off-target
<br />ddfr movement from aerial applications:
<br />1. The distance of the outer most operating nozzles o¢ the boom must not exceed
<br />Y. dte length of the roar.
<br />2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel wick the air stream and never be .
<br />pointed downwards more than 45 degees.
<br />Where starts have more stringent reguladons, they should be observed.
<br />The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information
<br />covered in the following Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory. [This information is
<br />advisory in nature and does not supersede mandatory ]abe7 requirements.]
<br />Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory
<br />Information On Droplet Size: The most effective way to reduce ddfr potendal is
<br />ro apply large droples. The best drifr management strategy is to apply the largest
<br />droples thpt provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droples
<br />reduces ddit potential, but will not prevent drifr if applicadons are made improp-
<br />erly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and
<br />Humidity, and Temperature inversions).
<br />Controlling Droplet Size:
<br />• Volume--Use high flow rate noules ro apply the highest practical spray vol-
<br />ume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droples.
<br />• Pressure-Do not exceed the noale manufacturer's recommended pressures.
<br />For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger droples. When highez
<br />flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
<br />• Number of Nozzles-Use the minimum number of nozzles thatprovide unifo
<br />cov<mge.
<br />• Nozzle Orienta6on~rienting nozzles so that the spray is released pamlld
<br />to the airstream produced larger droplets than other orientations and is the rec-
<br />ommended pmedce. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet
<br />size and increase drift potential.
