<br />Methylated Seed ODs or Vegemble Oil Coneentntes: Instead of a surfactant,
<br />a methylated vegetable-based seed oil concentrate containing 5 to 20 % surfactant
<br />and the remainder of the methylated vegetable oil may be used at Ore rate of
<br />L5 m 2 pints per acre: ~ Methylated sad oils provide their greatest effects at 30
<br />GPA or less. At spiny volumes above 50 GPA, their advantage appears negated.
<br />en using spray volumes greater than 30 gallons ptt acre methylated sad cif
<br />vegemble based seed oil concentrates should be mixcd'a[ a rate of ] % of the
<br />tat spray volume or alternatively use a nonionic surfacant as described below.
<br />Research indicates these oils may aid in deposition and uptake of PLATEAU
<br />herbicide for harcl-m~ontrol perennials, waxy leaf species or when planet are
<br />under moisture or tempemmre stress. DO NOT use a methylated seed oil or
<br />vegeable oil concentrate when making applications m newly emerged seedling
<br />pmiriegrasses or wildflowers as injury may occur.
<br />Nonionic Surfacmots: Use a nonionic surfactant at the rate of 0.25% v/v or
<br />higher (see matmfacmrer's label) of the sppiny solution (025 % v/v is equivalent
<br />io 1 quart in 100 gallons). For best rcsulm, elect a nonionic surfactant with a
<br />HLB (hydrophilic to lipophilic balance) ratio between 12 and 17 and having at
<br />least 60 % surfactant in the formulated product (alcohols, fatty acids, nets, ethylene
<br />glycol or diethylene glycol should not be considered as surfacants to meet Oro-
<br />above requircmenta).
<br />Silicone-Dared Surfaemnm: See manufacmrer'S label for specific mte recom-
<br />mendations. Silicone-based surfactanm may reduce the surface tension of the
<br />spiny droplet allowing greater spreading on the leaf surface as compared m con-
<br />ventional nonionic surfactants. However, some silicone-based surfactants may
<br />dry mo quickly, Smiting herbicide uptake and higher spray volumes may exhibit
<br />"run-ofP'.
<br />Fertilizer/Surfactant Blends: Nitrogen-based liquid fertilizers such as 28%N,
<br />32%N, ]0-34-0, or ammonium sulfate, may be added a[ the rate of 2 to 3 pints
<br />per acre in combination with the recommended rate of nonionic surfactant or
<br />methylated seed oil. Research indicates that nitrogen based fertilizers aid fr the
<br />bumdown of annual wads and increase PLATEAU herbicide upmke through
<br />waxy leaf species. However, fertilizers may increase phytotoxicity m desired
<br />species and newly emerged seedling pmiriegmsses and wnldflowers. The use of
<br />liquid frrtiliurs a[ a rate of 2 m 3 pmts per acre m stank-mix without a nonionic
<br />surfactant or.a methylated seed oil is not recommended and may result in herbicide
<br />failure. Only when liquid fertilizer is used as the spiny carter is no additional
<br />spiny adjuvant required.

<br />For use in noncrop areas, PLATEAU herbicide may be rank-mixed with
<br />PENDULUble herbicide for additional control of late season annual grosses and
<br />certain broadleaves. For additional weed control in noncro~ areas, PLATEAU
<br />herbicide may betank-mixed with ACCORDTM, ROUNDUP "PRO, glyphosate,
<br />`ARSENAL herbicide, SAHARA° DG herbicide, diuron, CAMPAIGN' FI-
<br />ALEr", GARLONTM 3A, MSMA, VANQUISHTM, OUST1O, ESCORTTM, TOR-
<br />ONT"" or other labeled products. A compatibility test is advised for products not
<br />listed. 2,4-D and other phenoxy type herbmrdes have resulted in reduced control
<br />of perennial grass weeds.

<br />DO NOT rank mix with drganophosphate insecticides or use the same year as
<br />PLATEAU herbicide when making applications to newly planted areas.
<br />Consult manufaenver's labels for specific rotes and weeds controlled. Always
<br />follow the more restrictive label when making an applicalion involving Iank-
<br />mixes.
<br />FOR WEED CONTROL IN PASTURE AND RANGELAND
<br />For the control of undesirable weeds in pasmrc and rangelaud (see "GUIDELINES
<br />FOR RANGELAND USE" section), apply PLATEAU herbicide at 2 m 12 oz.
<br />per acrd as a broadcast treatment or as a Ft m 1 % solution for spot treatmenm.
<br />See appropriate Sections of this Zabel for specific use directions.
<br />GUIDELINES FOR RANGELAND USE
<br />PLATEAU herbicide may be applied m rangeland for the control of undesirable
<br />vegetation in order to achieve one or more of the following vegetation management ~~
<br />objectives: I
<br />I. The control ofundesimble (non-nafive, invasive ahd noxious) plant species.
<br />2. The control of undesimb]e vegetation in order to aid in the establishment of
<br />desirable rangeland plant species.
<br />3. The control of undesirable vegetation in order to aid in the establishment of
<br />desirable rangeland vegetation following a fire.
<br />4. 71te wntrol ofundesimble vegetation for purposes of wildfire fuel reducrioo.
<br />5, The release of existing desirable rangeland plant communities from the com-
<br />petitive pressure of undesirable plant species.
<br />6, 7'he control of undesirable vegetation for purposes of wildlife habitat improve-
<br />ment.
<br />Ta ensure the protection of threatened and endangered plants when applying
<br />PLATEAU herbicide to rangeland:
<br />1, Federal agencies must follow NEPA regulations to ensure protection of threat-
<br />med and nadangered plants.
<br />2. State agencies must work with the Fish and Wildhfe Service or dte Servme'a
<br />designated smte conservation agency m ettsurc protection of threatened and
<br />mdangercd plants.
<br />3. Other organizations or individuals must operate under s Habimt Conservation
<br />Plan if threatened or endangered plants are known m be present on the land to
<br />be treated.

<br />Please see the appropriate section(s) of this label for specific use directions for
<br />the desired rangeland vegetation management objective.
<br />PLATEAU herbicide should only be applied to a given rangeland acre as specific
<br />weed problems arise. For the control of annual weed spectu such as cheatgmss,
<br />downy brome and medusahead rye, a single application of PLATEAU herbicide
<br />That coincides with the successful estabbsWnent and/or release of desirable range-
<br />land vegemdon and the use of available IPM ran provide effective, sustainable
<br />control of the annual weed problem. For difficult m control perennial weed species
<br />such as leafy spurge, dalmatian toadflax and Russian knapweed, a single broadcast
<br />application of PLATEAU herbicide should be effective in most cases, If needed,
<br />spot treatments with PLATEAU herbicide wn be used to control any remnant
<br />plants or new seedlings that may emerge. Long term control of undesirable weed
<br />species ultimately depends on the successful use of land management practices
<br />that promote the growth and sustainabiliry of desirable rangeland plant species.
<br />DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN BERMUDAGRASS PASTURES AND HAY
<br />t4~ADOWS
<br />PLATEAU herbicide may be used postemergencc at a rate of 4 to ] 2 oz per arm
<br />for control of undesirable wirtmr and summer annual and perennial grosses in
<br />bermudagrass pasmres and hay meadows (see role and timing recommendations
<br />below). PLATEAU herbicide may be used on common and coasml varieties of
<br />bermudagrass including, but not restricted to Tifton 44, 78 and 85, Alicia and
<br />Russell. Suppression of bermudagtass growth Tor 30 [d 45 days or longer may
<br />occur, depending upon growth conditions after application. Jiggs bermudagrass
<br />m particular Las shown greater sensitiviTy m PLATEAU herbicide. Do not use
<br />PLATEAU berbicide if this growth response is not accepmbk.
<br />m bertnudagrass pasmres and Aay meadows, even and thorough spray coverage
<br />is necessary m achieve the desired level of weed control, To ensure proper
<br />spiny covemgq the sprayer must be calibrated m deliver the recommended spray
<br />volume and pressureand the spiny boom height adjusted m ensure proper wverage
<br />of weed foliage (according m the manufacturer's raorrnnendadon). The use of
<br />boomless or flood type nozzles is nofrecommrnded and may result in decreased
<br />weed control.
<br />DO NOT apply PLATEAU to drought stressed bermudagrass.
<br />DO NOT use PLATEAU for the establishmentof sprigged or seeded bermudagrass.
<br />DO NOT use PLATEAU on World Feeder varieties of bermudagmss.
<br />DO NOT apply PLATEAU during traasition from dormancy m full green-up.
<br />AVOID applicadons of PLATEAU m newly aerated 5ehis for 30 days aRer
<br />aeration.
<br />Spring Applications and Bermudagrass Tolerance: Spring application of
<br />PLATEAU herbicide should only be made after bermudagrass has reached 100%
<br />gran-up. PLATEAU applicafions to bertnudagrass doting vansition from win-
<br />ter domtancy to 100% green-up will significantty delay green-up and growth of
<br />bermudagrass, insulting in the potential lass of one or more cumngs. Bermuda-
<br />gress can be considered m have reached 100% stern-up only when all seolons
<br />(runners) have developed new active growth. Partial green-up may be character-
<br />ized by the gran appearance of new bermudagrass growth in the field, but upon
<br />close inspection some of the smlons may nor have begun m grow. PLATEAU
<br />applications made at Otis time can stiff cause significant reductions in bermuda-
<br />gmss growth and development and should be delayed until 100% green-up. To
<br />minimize bermudagmss response from spring applications, all applications should
<br />be made postemergence to the targeted summer annual or perennial weeds. See
<br />specific use directions below for appropriate postemergence timing for targeted
<br />weed species.
<br />Postemergent Control of Summer Annual antl Perennial Grass Weeds: Apply
<br />PLATEAU herbicide after bermudagrass has reached CuD green-up and mrget
<br />grass weeds are et the desired growth singe (see recmnmended rates and growth
<br />stages below). Early Spring applications made during transition from dormancy to
<br />green-up will delay bermudagmss greenwp and subsequent bermudagmss growth."
<br />RaommendedPLATEAU herbicide apphcations may cause some smlon commode
<br />shortening and yellowing of the bermudagrass. The use of a nitrogen fertilizer
<br />(32-0-0 or 28-0-0) as the spiny carrier will shorten recovery thee.
<br />For summer annual grass control apply 4 to 6 oz per acre of PLATEAU early
<br />pos[emergence (2 m 4 leaf stage) following full betmudagmss green-up. If tazget
<br />weeds are at or above boot stage, apply 6 to 8 oz per acre forcontrol. Always add
<br />a surfactant when applying PLATEAU herbicide unless liquid fertilizer is bring
<br />used as the spray carrier. PLATEAU wiD provide some preemergence annual
<br />grass control, however initial applications need to be made postemergenee m
<br />target weed species.
<br />For summer perennial gross control apply 6 m ]2 oz per acre of PLATEAU
<br />postemergence fallowing bermudagmss green-up. If higher m[w (8 m 12 oz
<br />per acre) are needed for conwl of target species, PIATEAU~ herbicide can be
<br />applied N We fall before killing frost avers. When making a fall application,
<br />$bermudagrass has been cut far hay, allow sufficient regrowth of mrget species
<br />before making application. Always add a surfactant when applying PLATEAU
<br />herbicide unless liquid fertiliztt is bring used as Ote spiny canter.
