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 />' Equivelentarmunts ofen altemn4-mengmemmoniasomuon ors WPOnt-approvedcleanm <br />can be used in Ne cleanout procedure. Carefully read and fallow the individual cleaner <br />insuuctioru, Consult your agricultwal deals, applicabr, or DuPont representative for a <br />Esimg of approved cleaners. <br />Notes: <br />I. Attention: Do no[ use cfilorine bleach with ammonia, as dangerous gases will <br />form. Do not clean equipment in sa enclosed area. <br />2. S4am-cleaning aerial spiny tanks is recommended prior to performing the <br />above cleanout procedure m facilim4 [he removal of any caked deposits. <br />3. When DuPontTM FSCOR7° XP is tank mixed with o[herpcsticides, all requfired <br />clcanoutproceduresshould be ezaminedandthe most rigorousprocedureshould <br />be followed. <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.
