<br />PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
<br />Applicators and other handlers must wear:
<br />Long-sleeved shirt and Long pants.
<br />ShceS plus socks.
<br />Follow manufacturer's instmctions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such in-
<br />-tructions for washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE
<br />parntely from other laundry.
<br />USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
<br />Users should: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco
<br />or using the mile[.
<br />ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
<br />Do not apply directly m water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to
<br />intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when
<br />disposing of equipment washwaters.
<br />This herbicide is injurious to plants at extremely low concenha[ions. Noniarget
<br />plants may be adversely effected from drift and runroff.
<br />IDIPORTANT
<br />DO NOT USE ON FOOD OR FEED CROPS EXCEP7 AS RECOMMENDED BY
<br />7}f15 LABEL OR SUPPLEMENTAL LABELING. Injury m or loss of desimble
<br />trees or other plants may result from failure to observe the following: Do not
<br />apply DuPont''" ESCORTa XP herbicide (except as recommended), or drain or
<br />Flush equipment on or near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas where their
<br />roots may extend or in locations where [he chemical may be washed or moved into
<br />contact with their roots. Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts,
<br />or similar areas. Prevent drift of spray [o desirable plants. Do no[ contaminate
<br />any body of water, including iniga[ion water. Keep from contact with fertilizers,
<br />insecticides, fungicides and seeds.
<br />Following an ESCOR7° XP application, do not use sprayer for application m
<br />crops. This is extremely important, as low rates of ESCOR'I~ XP can kill or
<br />severely injure most crops (except small grains).
<br />GENERAL INFORMATION
<br />ESCOR"f® XP herbicide is a dispersible granule that is mixed in water and applied
<br />as a spray. ESCORT° XP controls many annual and perennial weeds and woody
<br />plants in non-crop areas and conifer plantations.
<br />ESCOR'I® XP may be used for general weed and brush control on industrial
<br />non-crop sites and for selective weed control in certain types of unimproved turf
<br />grasses on industrial sires and in native grasses. It can also be used for comrolling
<br />and suppressing undesirable weeds and hardwoods in conifer plantations.
<br />ESCOR"I® XP conrols weeds and woody plants primarily by postemergent activ-
<br />ity. Although ESCOR'I® XP has pwemergence activity, best results are generally
<br />brained when ESCORT° XP is applied to foliage after emergence or dormancy
<br />teak. Except where noted, ESCOR"1® XP provides the best results when applied
<br />to young, actively growing weeds. The use rnte depends upon the weed species
<br />and size at the time of application.
<br />The degree and durntion of control may depend on the following:
<br />• weed spectrum and infestation intensity
<br />Database and format copyright ©bc CRP Press. All rights reserves
<br />• weed size at application
<br />• environmental conditions at and following treatmem
<br />• soil pH, soil moisture, and soil organic matter
<br />It is permissible to apply ESCOR'I® XP to floodplains where surface water is not
<br />present, terrestrial areas of deltas and low lying areas where water is drnined but
<br />may be isolated in pockets due to uneven or unlevel conditions.
<br />ESCOR7° XP is noncortosive, nonflammablq nonvolatile and does no[ freeze.
<br />ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
<br />ESCOR'I® XP is absorbed primarily through the foliage of plants, and by the
<br />roots to a lesser degree. Plant cell division is generally inhibited in sensitive
<br />plants within a few hours following uptake. Two to 4 weeks after application,
<br />leaf growth slows followed by discolorn[ion and tissue death. The final effect on
<br />annual weeds are evident about 4 to 6 weeks after application. The ultimate effect
<br />on perennial weeds and woody plants occurs in the growing season following
<br />application.
<br />Warts, moist conditions following treatment promote the activity of ESCOR'I®
<br />XP, while cold, dry conditions may reduce or delay activity. Weeds and bmsh
<br />hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may no[ be controlled.
<br />The use of a surfactant is recommended [o enhance the control of susceptible
<br />plants, ezcept where noted. Apply at a minimum rnre (concentration) of U,%
<br />volume/volume (1 qt, per 100 gal. of spray solution), or at the manufacturer's
<br />recommended rate. Use only EPA approved surfactants containing at (east 80%
<br />active ingredient Cenain types of surfactants, such as [hose incorporating acetic
<br />acid (i.e. LI-700), may not be compatible with ESCOR'I® XP and may result
<br />in decreased performance. Certain surfactants may not be suitable for use on
<br />desimble plants, such as Turf and conifers, listed on this label. Consult the
<br />surfactant manufacturer's label for appropriate uses.
<br />Weed and bmsh control may be reduced if rninfall occurs soon after application.
<br />RESISTANCE
<br />Biorypes of certain weeds listed on this label are resistant to ESCOR'1® XP and
<br />other herbicides with the same mode of action, even at exaggerated application
<br />rates. Biorypes are nammlly occurring individuals of a species that are identical in
<br />appearance but have slightly different genetic compositions; the mode of action of
<br />a herbicide is the chemical interaction that interrupts a biological process necessary
<br />for plant growth and development.
<br />If weed conuol is unsatisfactory, i[ may be necessary to retreat problem areas
<br />using a product with a different mode of action, such as pos[emergence broadleaf
<br />and/or grass herbicides.
<br />If resistant weed biotypes such as kochia, prickly terrace, and Russian thistle are
<br />suspected or known to be presem use stank-mix partner with ESCOR7° XP to
<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.
