<br />ar using the miler.
<br />ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
<br />Do oat apply directly to water, or m areas where surface wakr is present, or [o
<br />intertidal arras below the mean high wares mark. Do not contaminate water when
<br />disposing of equipment wastewaters.
<br />This herbicide is injurious to plants at extremely low concentratlons. Nonmrget
<br />plants may be adversely effected from drift and runoff.
<br />IMPORTANT
<br />DO NOT USE ON FOOD OR FEED CROPS EXCEPT AS RECOMMENDED BY
<br />TH1S LABEL OR SUPPLEMENTAL LABELING. Injury to or loss of desirable
<br />trees or other plants may result from failure m observe the following: Do rat
<br />apply DuPont'" ESCOR'T'" XP herbicide (except as recommrnded), or drain or
<br />flush equipment on or rem desirable tees or other plants, or on areas where Neir
<br />roots may extend or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved iota
<br />contact with their mots. Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts,
<br />or similar areas. Prevent drift of spray m desiable Plants. Ito not eontaminak
<br />any body of wakr, including irrigation wakr. Keep from contact with fertilizers,
<br />insecticides, fungicide and seeds.
<br />Following an ESCOR7~ XP application, do not use sprayer for application k
<br />crops, This is ex[rcmdy important, as low rotes of ESCORT° XP can kill or
<br />severety injure most crops (except small graids).
<br />GENERAL INFORMATION
<br />ESCORI'o XP herbicide is a dispersible granule fiat is mixed in water and applied
<br />as a spray. ESCORT° XP controls many annual and perennial weeds and woody
<br />plants in non-ttop areas and conifer plantations.
<br />ESCORTa XP may be used for general weed and brash control on industrial
<br />nontrop siks and for selective weed control in certain types of unimproved turf
<br />gases on industrial sites and in native grosses. I[ can also be used for controlling
<br />and suppressing undesiable weeds and hardwoods in conifer plantations.
<br />ESCOR7~ XP controls weeds and woody plants primarily by paskmergentactiv-
<br />iry. Although ESCOR'l~ XP has preemergence activity, best insults ere grneally
<br />btaincd when ESCOR7~ XP is applied to foliage after emergence or dormancy
<br />reek. Except where noted, ESCOAI~ XP provides die best results whrn applied
<br />young, actively growing weeds. The use rate depends upon the weed species
<br />and size at the time of apphcafion.
<br />The degree and duration of control may depend on the following:
<br />• weed spectrum and infermtion intensity
<br />Database and format copyright ©by C&P Press. All rights reserved.
<br />• weed size at application
<br />• environmennl <ondifions at and following treamtent
<br />• soil pH, soil moisture, and soil organic mauve
<br />[t is pcrmissble to apply ESCOR'Im XP k floodpiains where surface water is no[
<br />present, terrestrial areas of deltas and low lying areas where water is drained but
<br />may be isolated in pockets due to uneven or unkvel conditions.
<br />ESCOR7m XP is noncorrosive, nonflammable, nonvolatile and does not freeze.
<br />ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
<br />ESCOR'Im XP is absorbed primarily ttirough the foliage of plants, and by the
<br />roots to a lesser degree. Plant cell division is geneally inhibited in sensitive
<br />planes within a few hours following uptake, Two to 4 weeks after applicadon,
<br />leaf growth slaws followed by discoloation and tissue death. The final effect on
<br />annual weeds am evident about 4 to 6 weeks after applicadon The ultimate effect
<br />on perennial weeds and woody plants occurs in the growing season following
<br />application.
<br />Warm, moist conditions following ircatment promote the activity of ESCOR7°
<br />XP, while cold, dry conditions may reduce or delay activity. Weeds and brush
<br />hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be controlled.
<br />The use of a surfactant is recommended to enhance the control of susceptible
<br />plants, except whets noted. Apply at a minimum ate (concentration) of 4.%
<br />volumelvolume (1 qt. per 100 gal. of spiny solution), or at the manufacturer's
<br />recommrnded ink. Use only EPA approved surfactants conmining at least 80%
<br />active ingredient. Certain types of surfactants, such as those incorporating acetic
<br />acid (i.e. L1-700), may not be compatible with ESCOA7w XP and may result
<br />in decreased performance. Certain surfactants may not be suitable for use on
<br />desirable plants, such as turf and conifers, listed on this label. Consult the
<br />surfactant manufacm[er's ]abet for appropriate uses,
<br />Weed and brash control may be reduced if rainfall occurs soon after application.
<br />RESISTANCE
<br />Biotypes of terrain weeds listed on this lobe) ors resistant m ESCOR'I® XP and
<br />other herbicides with the same mode of action, even at exaggeakd application
<br />rates. Biotypes are namrafly occurring individuals of a specie that arc identical in
<br />appearance but have slightly different genetic compositions; [he mode of action of
<br />a herbicide ta the chemical inkaction that inkttupts a biological process necessary
<br />for plant growth and development. -
<br />]f weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be necessary 1o retreat problem areas
<br />using a produtt with a different roods of action, such as postemergence broadleaf
<br />and/or grass herbicides. ,
<br />If resismnt weed biotypes such as kochia, prickly lettuce, and Russian thistle are
<br />suspeckd or known to be present use a rank-mix partner with ESCORTa XP m
<br />help control these biotypes, or use a planned herbicide rotation program where
<br />other residual broadleaf herbicides having different modes of action are used.
