<br />This product plus dicamba tank mixtures may not be applied by air in Cahfomia.
<br />Ensure uniform application-To avoid sneaked, uneven or overlapped application,
<br />use appropriate marking devices.
<br />AERIAL SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT -
<br />Thefollowing drill management requirements must be followed m avoid off-target
<br />drift movement from aerial applications [o agriculNal field crops.
<br />1. 71se distance of the outemrost nozzles an the boom must not exceed >/. Ne
<br />length of the wingspan Dr rotor.
<br />2. Nozzles must always point backward, peatlel with the air sveam and never bt
<br />pointed downwards more Nan 45 degrees. Whe¢ states have more stringent
<br />regulations, they should be observed.
<br />Importance of Droplet Size
<br />The most effective way m reduce drifr potential is to apply large droplets. The
<br />best drift management strategy is to apply Ne largest droplets that provide sut5-
<br />cient coveage and control, Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but
<br />will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable
<br />environmental conditions (see Ne "Wind", "Tempemmre and Humidity", and
<br />"Temperature Inversions" sections of this Iabe]).
<br />Contratling Droplet Size
<br />• Volume: Use high-flow-ate noules to apply the highest practical spiny vol-
<br />ume, Nozzles wiN the higher rated flows produce larger dmpic[s.
<br />• Pressure: Use Ne lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher
<br />pressure reduoea droplet siu and does not improve canopy penetration. When
<br />higher flow rates are needed, use higher-flow-ate nozzles instead of increasing
<br />pressure.
<br />• Number otnoules: Use the minimum number of noules that provide uniform
<br />Coverage.
<br />• Nozzle orienN[ion: Orienting nozzles so Nat the spray is released backwards,
<br />paella] to the airstream, will produce larger droplets than other orienmdons.
<br />Significant deflection from the horizontal will reduce droplet size andinuease
<br />ddR potential.
<br />Nozzle type: Use a noule type Nat is designed for the intended application.
<br />WiN most nozzle types, narrower spay angles produce larger droplets. Consider
<br />using tow-drfr nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce
<br />larger droplets than other noule types.
<br />• Boom length: For. some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to
<br />less than t, of Ne wingspan or rotor IengN may furthu reduce drift without
<br />reducing swath widN.
<br />Database and format copyrirht©by VPC Acquisition Corporation.
<br />• Application height: Applications should not be made at a height greater than
<br />10 feet about the top of the largest plants unless a graaer height is required
<br />for aircafr safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe induces
<br />the exposure of the droplets m evapomdon and wind.
<br />Swath Adjustment
<br />When apphcations are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced down-
<br />wind. -Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must
<br />compensate for Nis displacement by adjusting the path of the aircmfr upwind.
<br />Swath adjustment distance should increase, with inerwsing drift potential (highu
<br />wind, smaller droplets, etc:).
<br />Wind
<br />Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to l0.nules per hour, However,
<br />many facmrs, including droplet size and equipment type determine drifr potential
<br />at any given syeed. Application should be avoided below 2 miles per hour duc
<br />to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Loco] retain
<br />can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should he familiar with local wind
<br />patterns and haw Ney effect drift
<br />Temperature and Humidity
<br />When making applications in tow relative humidity, ut up equipmrnt to produce
<br />]a aerdropleis to compensatc far evapomdon Droplet evapoatian is most severe
<br />when conditions are boN hot and dry.
<br />Temperature inversions -
<br />Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion becausc drift po-
<br />tential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes
<br />small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move
<br />in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds cotnmo¢ during invu•
<br />sions. Tempemmre inversions are characterized by increasing tempeamrcs wiN
<br />aldmde and are common oa nights with limited cloud cover and Ggh[ to no wind.
<br />They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue inm Ne rooming. Thew
<br />presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, ihversio¢s
<br />can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground so[rrce or as
<br />aimraR smoke generator. Smoke chat layers and moves laterally in a concentrated
<br />cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves
<br />upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
<br />Sensitive Areas
<br />The product should only be applied when dre potential for drift to adjaceN sensitive
<br />areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water; known habitat for Nrcarencd oc
<br />endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is bowing
<br />away from the sensitive areas).
<br />Avoid direct application to any body of water.
<br />Aircraft Maintenance -.
<br />Thoroughly wazh airuafr, especially landing gear, after each day of spaying
<br />m remove residues of this product accumulated during spraying or from spills.
<br />PROLONGED EXPOSURE OF THIS PRODUCT TO UNCOATED STEEL SUR-
<br />FACES MAY RESULT Ai CORAOSiON AND POSSIBLE FAII.URE OF THE
<br />PART. LANDING GEAR IS MOST SUSCEPTIBLE, The mainrt¢aoce of an
<br />organic coating (paint), which meets auospace specification MIL-C-384]3, may
<br />prevent corosian.
<br />7.2 Ground $roadeast Equipment
<br />Use the recommended rates of this pmduc[ in 3 m 40 gallons of water per aen as
<br />a broadcast spiny uNess otherwise specified. As density of weeds increases, spiny
<br />volume should b< incrcaud wiNin Ne recommended range to ensure complete
<br />coverage. Carefully select proper nozzles to avoid spraying a fine mist For best
<br />results with ground application equipment, trse flat spay noales. Check for even
<br />distribution of spray droplets.
<br />73 Hand-Held or High-Volume Equipment
<br />Apply to foliage of vegetation to be convolled. For applications made on aspay-
<br />to-wet basis, spiny covemge should be uniform and complete. Do no[ apmy to Ne
<br />point of mnoff. Use coarse spays only. For rccommrndedrates and timing, refer
<br />to Ne "ANNUAL WEEDS-Hand-Held or High-Volume Equipmrnt" section of
<br />Nis product label.
<br />7.4 Selective Equipment
<br />This product may be applied through rccimulating spay systems, shidded ape
<br />phcators, hooded sprayers, wiper applicators or sponge bars,~after dilution and
<br />Noreugh mixing wiN water, m listed weeds growing m any non<rop silt specified
<br />on this label. -
<br />]n cropping systems, hooded sprayers, shielded sprayers, and wipers may be used
<br />in row middles (in between rows of crop plants) where any dripping or (taking
<br />will not contact crop foliage, when listed under `'TYPES OF APPLICATION" in
<br />the crop sections of this product's labeling. Such equipment must be capable of
<br />preventing all crop contact wide herbicide solutions and opeated without leakage
<br />of spaq mists or dapping onto crop. Wipers over-Ne-top of crops may be used
<br />only when specifically recommended in this product's labeling.
<br />AVOID CONTACT OF HERBICIDE WITH DESBL4BLE VEGETATION.
<br />Contact of the herbicide solution wiN desirable vegetation may result in damage
<br />or destruction. Applicators used above desirable vegetation should be adjusted
<br />so that Ne lowest spray stream or wiper contact paint is at ]east 2 inches above
<br />Ne desiable vegetaton, Droplets, mist, foam or splatter of the herbicide solution
<br />settling on desirable vegetation may result in discoloation, stunting or destvction.
<br />Applications made above the crops should be made when Ne weeds are a minimum
<br />of 6 inches above the desirable vegeation. Better results maybe obtained when
<br />more of the weed is exposed m Ne herbicide solution. Weeds not concocted by
<br />the herbicide solution will not be affected. This may occur in dense clumps,
<br />All rights resen'ed.
