<br />ING INSTRUCTIONS ,~,,,
<br />iB the mnk Na to ys full of water.
<br />Whi]c agimdng, add the required amount of FSCORTa XP.
<br />3. Continue agitation until the ESCORTn XP is fully dispersed, a[ least 5 minutes.
<br />4. Once the ESCORTa XP is fully dispersed, mainmin agitation and continue
<br />filling tank with wake ESCORTo XP should be thoroughly mixed with wear
<br />bdfore adding any other material.
<br />5. As the tank is filling, add mnk mix partners (if desired) then add the necessary
<br />volume of nonionic surfacmnt. Always add surfacmn[ last.
<br />6. if the mixture is not continuou5lyagimtM, sealing will occur. If setding occurs,
<br />thoroughly rc-agimte before using.
<br />7. ESCOR'I~ XP spiny preparations are amble if they arc pH neutral or alkaline
<br />and stored at or below 100'F.
<br />8. If ESCORT' XP and a mnk mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads,
<br />pre slurry the ESCOR7° XP in clean wa4r prior m adding to the mnk. This
<br />will prevent the mnk mix partner from interfering with the dissolution of the
<br />ESCORT° XP.
<br />SPRAYER CLEANUP
<br />Spiny equipment must be cleaned before ESCORT° XP is sprayed. Follow the
<br />cleanup procedures specified on the Wbels of previously applied products. if no
<br />directions are provided, follow the six steps outlined below.
<br />Ar the EM of the Day ~ -
<br />When muhipk loads of ESCORTa XP herbicide are applied, it is recommended
<br />[hat at the end of each day of spraying, the interior of the mnk be rinsed with fresh
<br />wa4r and [hen partially filled, anti the boom and hoses thtshed. This wiB pmvem
<br />[he buildup of dried pesticide deposits that can accumulate in the application
<br />equipment ,
<br />1. Draiu mnk; thoroughly riax spiny ranks, boom, and hoses with clean water.
<br />Loosen and physically remove any visible deposits.
<br />2. Fill rite mnk with clean water and 1 gal of household ammonia" (conmins 3%
<br />active) for every 100 gal of water. Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the
<br />cleaning solution. Then add more wa4r to completely 50 the mnk. Circulak
<br />the cleaning solution through the tadr and hoses fm et least I S min. Flush the
<br />hoses, boom, and noales again with the cleaning solution, and then drain the
<br />mnk.
<br />Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately iu a bucket containing
<br />,t cleaning agent and wa4r. ~ -
<br />Repeat step 2. '.
<br />Rinse [he mnk, boom, and hoses with clean wa4r.
<br />6, if only Aramania is uxd as a cleaner, the rinsa4 solution may be applied
<br />back m the crop(s) recommended on this label. Do not exceed the maximum
<br />labeled use rate. if other cleaners arc used, consult the cleaner label for rinsa4
<br />disposal instructions. ]f no instructions are given, dispose of ilia tinsa4 on si4
<br />or at en approved was4 disposal facility.

<br />4. In addition to this cleanout procedure, all prccleanout guidelines on subse-
<br />quently applied products should be followed as per the individual labels.
<br />SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT -
<br />The in4raction of many equipment and weather-related famors determines the
<br />potential for spiny drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these
<br />factors when making application decisions.
<br />AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICA-
<br />TOR
<br />IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
<br />The most effective way [o reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets (> 150-
<br />200 micmnsj. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets
<br />that provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of sensitive species
<br />nearby, the rnvironmenml conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an ap-
<br />plicator balances drift control and coverage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS
<br />REDUCES DRIFL POTENTIAL, HUT WILL NOT PREVENT DRIFT IF AP-
<br />ICATIONS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE EN-
<br />IRONMENTgI CONDTTIONS! Sce Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and
<br />mperature loversims sections of this label.
<br />ontrolling Droplet Size-General Teehrtiques
<br />• Volume-Use high flow rate noales m apply rite highest practical spiny vol-
<br />ume. Noules wiN higher mod flows produce target droplets.
<br />Database and format copyright ©by C&P Press. Al! rights reserred.
<br />• Pressure--Use the lower spiny pressures recommended for the Houle. Higher
<br />pressure reduces droplet size and does not'unprove canopy penetration. WHEN
<br />t HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE AHIGHER-CAPACITY NOZ-
<br />ZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE.
<br />• Nouk Typt-1Iu a nozzle type that is desigrt<d for the in4nded application.
<br />Widr most nozzle types, narrows spray anglesproduce larger droplets. Consider
<br />using low-drill nozzles. -
<br />CaMOlling Droplet Siza--Aircraft
<br />• Number of Noules-Ilse the minimum number of noales with the highest
<br />flow rare that provide uniform coverage.
<br />• Noale Orientatioo--Orienting noales so that the spiny is emitted backwards,
<br />parallel to the airstream will produce larger droplets than other orientations.
<br />• Noule Type-Solid stream Hoots (such as disc and coin with swirl plate
<br />removed) orien4d straight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types.
<br />• Boom Length-The boom length should no[ exceed >!. of the wing or rotor
<br />length-longer booms increase drift poential.
<br />• Application Height-App(icaGon more than 10 fl above the canopy increases
<br />ilia potential for spiny drift.
<br />BOOM HEIGHT
<br />Sc[ling the boom of the lowest labeled height (if specified) which provides uniform
<br />coverage reduces the exposure of droplets m evaporation and wind. For ground
<br />equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
<br />WIND
<br />Drift potential increases et wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion
<br />potential) or more than 10 mph_ Howevu, many factors, including droplet siu
<br />and equipment type de4rmine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID
<br />GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
<br />Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be
<br />familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spiny drift
<br />TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
<br />When making applications in Lot and dry conditions, xt up equipment m product
<br />larger droplets m reduce effects of evaporation.
<br />TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
<br />Drift poental is high during a 4mpemture inversion. Tempemmre inversions
<br />restrict vertical av mixing, which causes small suspended droplets m remain close
<br />m the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Tempemmre inversions
<br />ere chamclerized by increasing Tempemmre with altitude and are common on
<br />nights wr& 1vnited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin m form es the
<br />sun sets and Often Continue into me morning. Their presence can be indicated
<br />by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified
<br />by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an airomft smoke generator.
<br />Smoke that layers and moves la4rnlly in a concentrated cloud (under low wind
<br />conditions) mdira4s an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly
<br />dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
<br />SHIELDED SPRAYERS
<br />Shielding the boom or individual noales can reduce the effects of wind. However,
<br />it is the responsibility of the applicator m verify that the shields arc preventing
<br />drift and no[ ia4rfmng with untfonn deposition of the product
<br />USE PRECAUTIONS
<br />Injury Co or Toss of desirnbic tree or other plants may insult from failure to observe
<br />the following.
<br />• If equipment is drainetl or flushed on or near desirable nett or other plants, or
<br />on areas where their roots may extend, or m locations where the chemical may
<br />be washed or moved into concoct with their mots.
<br />• Treawent ofpowdery, dry soil ar Iigh4 sandy soil when them is little likelihood
<br />of rainfall soon treatment may result N off target movement andpossibh damage
<br />to susceptible crops when soil panicles are moved by wind or water. Injury m
<br />corps may result if treated soil is washed, blown, or moved Dora land used m
<br />produce craps, Exposure m DuPonF'r ESCORT° XP may injure or kill most
<br />crops. Injury may be more xverc when the crops are irriga4d.
<br />• Applications made where runoff water flows onto agricultural land may injure
<br />cops. Applications made during periods of intense rainfall, to soils mmrn4d
<br />with wa4y surfaces paved with materials such as asphalt or concrete, or soils
<br />through which rainfall will not readily penetrak may insult in mnoff and
<br />movement of ESCOR7° XP, Do not treat frozen soil. Treated soil should be
<br />left undisturbed m reduce the po4ntial for FSCOR'I~ XP movement by soil
<br />erosion due to wind or water.
