<br />potential for spmy drift. The applicator and the entity authorizing spraying are
<br />responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions.
<br />Spray drill from applying this product may result in damage m sensitive plants
<br />adjacent to the treatment area, Only apply this product when the potential for
<br />drift to these and other adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of
<br />water, known habitxr for threatened or endangered species, or non-target crops)
<br />is minimal. Do not apply when the following conditions exist that increase
<br />the likelihood of spray drift from intended targets: high or gusty winds, high
<br />temperatures, low humidity, temperature inversions.
<br />To minimize spmy drift, the applicator should be familiar with and take into
<br />accountthe following drift reduction advisory information. Additional information
<br />may be available from state enforcement agencies or the Cooperative Extension
<br />on the application of this product.
<br />The best drift management strategy and most effective way to reduce drift potential
<br />are ro apply large droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying
<br />larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications
<br />are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see WIND,
<br />TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY, and TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS).
<br />CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE
<br />• Volume-Use high flow rate nozzles[o apply the highest practical spmy volume.
<br />Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
<br />. Pressure-Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures.
<br />For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher
<br />flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
<br />• Number ofNozzles-Usethe minimum number of nozzles [ha[provide uniform
<br />coverage.
<br />• Nozzle Orientation--0rienting nozzles so that the spray is released parzllel to
<br />the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is recom-
<br />mendedpractice. Significant deflection from the horizontal will reduce droplet
<br />size and increase drift potential.
<br />• Nozzle Type-Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application.
<br />With most nozzle types, narrower spmy angles produce larger droplets. Consider
<br />using lowdrift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce
<br />the largest droplets and [he lowest drift. Do not use nozzles producing a mist
<br />droplet spmy.
<br />APPLICATION HEIGHT
<br />Making applications at the lowest possible height (helicopter, ground driven spmy
<br />boom} that is safe and practical reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and
<br />Wmd,
<br />SWATH ADJUSTMENT
<br />When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced down-
<br />wind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the treatmem area, the
<br />applicamr must compensate for this displacement by adjusting [he path of the
<br />application equipment (e.g. aircraft, ground) upwind. Swath adjustment distance
<br />should increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller droplets, etc.).
<br />WIND
<br />Drift porendal is lowest between wind speeds of 3-IO mph. However, many
<br />factors, including droplet size and equipment type, determine drift potential at any
<br />given speed. Application should be avoided below 3 mph due to variable wind
<br />direction and high inversion potential, NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind
<br />pattems. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind pattems and how
<br />[hey affect spmy drift.
<br />TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
<br />When making applications in law relative humidity, set up equipment to produce
<br />larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe
<br />when conditions are both hot and dry.
<br />TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
<br />Drift potential is high during a tempemmre inversion. 7empemture inversions
<br />restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain
<br />in a concentrated cloud, which can move in unpredictable directions due to
<br />the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are
<br />characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights
<br />with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to Form as the sun
<br />sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by
<br />ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by
<br />the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator.
<br />Smoke [hat layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind
<br />conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke [hat moves upward and rapidly
<br />dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
<br />WIND EROSION
<br />Avoid treating powdery dry or light sandy soils when conditions are favorable far
<br />wind erosion. Under these conditions, the soil surface should first be settled by
<br />rainfall or irigation.
<br />SENSITIVE AREAS
<br />The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent
<br />sensitive areas (e.g. residen[ialareas, bodies ofwater, known habimt for threatened
<br />or endangered species, ornon-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing
<br />away from [he sensitive areas).

<br />H1CH•VOLUME SPRAY EQUIPMENT
<br />ARSENAL may be applied using high-volume spmy equipment. For best results,
<br />apply ARSENAL using the least amount of water practical to obtain uniform
<br />coverage of the vegetation foliage. Using excessive spmy volumes which cause
<br />mnoff from the plant foliage may result in reduced performance.
<br />When using spmy volumes greater than 60 gallons per acre, additional nonionic
<br />surfactant must be added at the rate of 1 quart per 100 gallons of spmy solution
<br />to provide optimum wetting and/or contact activity. A foam reducing agent may
<br />be added at the recommended label rate, if needed. IF desired, a spray pa[tem•
<br />indicator may be added at the recommended label rate.
<br />To mix the spray solution, determine the proper ARSENAL pints per acre rate
<br />from the WEEDS CONTROLLED section of this label.
<br />IMPORTANT: DO NOT exceed recommended dosage mfe per acre. DO NOT
<br />side-trim desirable vegetation with this product. Gleam application equipment after
<br />using this product by thoroughly flushing with water.
<br />WEEDS CONTROLLED
<br />ARSENAL will provide postemergence control with residual can Vol of the follow-
<br />ing target vegetation species at [he rates listed. Residual control refers to control
<br />of newly germinating seedlings in bath annuals and perennials. In general, an-
<br />nual weeds may be controlled by preemergence or postemergence applications
<br />of ARSENAL; whereas, for established biennials and perennials, postemergence
<br />applications of ARSENAL are recommended. ARSENAL should be used only
<br />in accordance with the recommendations on this label and the leaflet label.
