SPECI!19EN LABEL UPDATES AVAILABLE AT W\\'\\'.GREENBOOK.NF.T 5 off spmy booms while starting, mining, slowing or stopping to avoid injury [o desired plants. Refer to the brash control section of this label for information unique to that articular use. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Fill the tank 4o to ~!a full of water. 2. While agitating, add the required amount of ESCOR'I® XP. 3. Continue agitation until [he ESCOR7® XP is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes. 4. Once the ESCOR'Iw XP is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water. ESCOR"I® XP should be thoroughly mixed with water before adding any other material. 5. As the tank is filling, add tank mix partners (if desired) then add [he necessary volume of nonionic surfactant Always add surfactant last. 6. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will occur. Ifset[ling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before using. 7. ESCOR'I® XP spmy preparations are stable if [hey are pH neutral or alkaline and stored at or below 100°F. 8. If ESCOR'I® XP and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, pre-slurry the ESCOR'I® XP in clean water prior to adding to [he tank. This will prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the dissolution of the ESCORT° XP. SPRAYER CLEANUP Spray equipment must be cleaned before ESCORT° XP is sprayed. Fallow the cleanup procedures specified on the labels of previously applied products. If no directions are provided, follow the six steps ou[Irned below. At the End of the Day When multiple loads of ESCOR'I® XP herbicide are applied, i[ is recommended that at the end of each day of spraying, the interior of the tank be rinsed with fresh water and then partially filled, and the boom and hoses flushed. This will prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits that can accumulate in [he application equipment. 1. Drain tank; thoroughly rinse spray tanks, boom, and hoses with clean water. Loosen and physically remove any visible deposits. 2. Fill the tank with clean water and 1 gal of household ammonia" (contains 3 active) for every 100 gal of water. Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles with the cleaning solution. Then add more water to completely fill the tank. Circulate the cleaning solution through the tank and hoses for at least } 5 min. Flush the hoses, boom, and nozzles again with [he cleaning solution, and then drain the tank. •. Remove [he nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing cleaning agent and water. 4. Repeal step 2. 5. Rinse the lank, boom, and hoses with clean water. 6. If only Ammonia is used as a cleaneq [he rinsate solution may be applied back [o the crop(s) recommended on this label. Do not exceed the maximum labeled use rate. If other cleaners are used, consult the cleaner Vabel for rinsate disposal instructions. If no instructions are given, dispose of the rinsate on site or at an approved waste disposal facility. " Equivalemamounts ofan alternate-suengthammonia soludon ore Dupont-approveddeaner can be used in the deanout procedure. Carefally read and follow die individual clwner instmctions. Consul[ your egriculmnl dealer, applicator, or DuPont representative for a listing of approved cleaners. Notes: }, Attention: Do not use chlorine bleach with ammonia, as dangerous gases will form. Do not clean equipment in an enclosed area. 2. Steamcleaning aerial spray tanks is recommended prior [o performing [he above cleanour procedure to facilitate the removal of any caked deposits. 3. When DuPontTM ESCOR'I® XP is tank mixed with other pesticides, all required cleanour procedures should be examined and the most rigorous procedureshould be followed. 4. In addition [o this cleanour procedure, all precleanout guidelines on subse- quently applied products should be followed as per the individual labels. SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMEN7 The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICA- TOR. /MPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets (>I50- 200 microns). The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplet that provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of sensitive species nearby, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an ap- plicator balances drift control and coverage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS EDUCES DRIFT' POTENTIAL, BU7 WILL NOT PREVENT DAIF-I' IF AP- ~LICA710NS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE EN- IRONMENTAL CONDITIONS! See Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions sections of this label. Controlling Droplet Size-General Techniques • Yolume-Use high slow rate noules to apply the highest practical Spray vol- ume. Nozzles with higher rated flaws produce larger droplets. • Pressure-Use [he lower spray pressures recommended for [he nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE AHIGHER-CAPACITY NOZ- ZLE INS7EAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE. • Nozzle Type-Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplet. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Controlling Droplet Size-Aircraft • Number of Nozzles-Use the minhnum number of nozzles with the highest flaw rate that provide uniform coverage. • Noule Orientafion~rienting nozzles so [fiat the spray is emitted backwards. parallel m the airsrceam will produce larger droplets than other orienutions. • Nozzle Type-Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with swirl plate removed) oriemed Straight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types. • Boom Length-The boom length should not exceed Va of the wing or rotor length-longer booms increase drift potential. • Application Heigbt-Application more than 10 ft above the canopy increases the potential for spray dnfi. BOOM HEIGHT Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of droplets [o evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. WIND Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due [o inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipmem type determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS. Note: Local retain can influence wind pat[ems. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how [hey affect spmy drift. TEMPERATURE AND HUMID/TY When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger droplet to reduce effects of evaporadon. TEMPERATURE /NVERS/ONS Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended dropVet to remain cbse to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin [o form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. SHIELDED SPRAYERS Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product. USE PRECAUTIONS Injury to or Toss of desirable tree or other plants may result from failure to observe the following. • If equipment is drained or Flushed on or near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas where [heir roots may extend, or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into contact with (heir roots. • Treatment ofpowdery, dry soil or light, sandy soil when there is little likelihood ofminfall soon treatment may result in off target movement and possible damage to susceptible craps when soil panicles are moved by wind or water. Injury to corps may result if treated soil is washed, blown, or moved onto land used m produce crops. Expposure to DuPomTM ESCORT° XP may injure or kill most crops. Injury may be more severe when the crops are irrigated. • Applications made where runoff water flaws onto agriw1mral ]and may injure crops. Applications made during periods of intense rainfall, [o soils saturated with water, surfaces paved with materials such as asphalt or concrete, or soils through which rainfall will not readily penetrate may result in mnoff and movement of ESCORT° XP. Do not treat frozen soil. Treated sail should be left undisturbed to reduce the potential for ESCORT° XP movement by soil erosion due [o wind or water. • Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts or similar areas. • Do not apply through any type of irrigation system. • Do not use the equipment used ro mix or apply ESCOR'I® XP on crops (except pasture, range and wheat). The mixing and application equipment may be used for noncrop areas and conifer plantations only. • When used as directed, there is no grazing restriction for use tares of I Yr ounce per acre and less. At use rates of 1 as m 3 4r ounce per acre forage grasses may be cut for hay, fodder or green forage and fed [o livestock, including lactating animals, 3 days after treatment. • Do not use this product in the following counties of Colorado: Saguache, Rio Grande, Alamosa, Costilla and Conejos. • Do not use [his product in California.
