<br />Foliar Treatment With Ground Equipment
<br />High Volume Foliar Treatment
<br />•For cootrot ofwoodyplants, use Garlon4 at the rate oft to3 quarts per 100 gallons
<br />of Spmy mixture, or Garton 4 at 1 to 3 quarts maybe tank mixed with labeled aces
<br />of 2,4-D low volatile ester herbicide, Tordon 101 Mixture herbicide, or Tordon
<br />K herbicide and diluted to make 100 gallons of spray. Apply at a volume of 100
<br />m 400 gallons of total spay per acre depending on size and density of wootly
<br />plants. Coverage should be thorough to wet all leaves, stems, and root collars.
<br />See Table 1 for relationship between spmy volume and maximum application
<br />rate. When tank mixing, follow applicable use directions and precautions on each
<br />manufacturer's label.
<br />Low Volume Foliar Treatment
<br />To control susceptible woody plants, mix up [0 20 quarts of Garton 4 in ] 0 to ] OD
<br />gallons of finished spray. The spray concentration of Garton 4 and [oral spray
<br />volume per acre should be adjusted according to [he size and density of target
<br />woody plants and kind of spmy equipment used. With low volume sprays, use
<br />sufficient spray volume N obtain uniform coverage of target plants including the
<br />surfaces of all foliage, stems, and root collars (See General Use Precautions). For
<br />best results, a surfactant should be added to all spray mixtures. Match equipment
<br />and delivery ate of spmy nozzles m height and density of woody plants. When
<br />treating fall, dense bmsh, a stuck mounted spray gun with spmy tips that deliver
<br />up [0 2 gallons per minute at 40 N 60 psi may be required. Backpack or other
<br />types ofspe<ialized spray equipment with spmy lips [hat deliver less than 1 gallon
<br />of spmy per minute maybe appropriate for short, low m modeate density bmsh.
<br />See Table 1 for relationship between mixing ate, spay volume and maximum
<br />application ate.
<br />Tank Mixing: As a low volume foliar spay, up to 12 quarts of Garton 4 may be
<br />applied in tank mix combination with labeled ates of Tordon K or Tordon 101
<br />MixNre in 10 to I00 gallons of finished spay.
<br />Broadcast Applications With Ground Equipment
<br />Make application using equipment that will assure thorough and uniform
<br />coverage of spray volumes applied.
<br />Woody Plant Control
<br />Foliage Treatment: Use 4 to 8 quarts of Garton 4 in enough water [o make 5
<br />or more gallons per acre of Ntal spay, or Garton 4 at 1 r/r N 3 quarts may be
<br />combined with labeled ales of 2,4-D low volatile ester, Tordon 101 MixNre, or
<br />Tordon K in sufficient water to make 5 or more gallons per acre of [oral spray.
<br />Broadleaf Weed Control
<br />Use Garton 4 at ales of 1 N 4 quarts in a total volume of 5 or more gallons per
<br />~cre as a water spmy mixtme. Apply at any time weeds are actively growing.
<br />orlon 4 at 0.25 to 3 quarts may be tank mixed with labeled rates of 2,4-D amine
<br />or low volatile ester, Tordon K, or Tordon 101 MixNre to improve [he spectmm
<br />of activity. For thickened (high viscosity) spray mixtures, Garton 4 can be mixed
<br />with diesel oil or other inverting agent. When using an inverting agent, read and
<br />follow the use directions and precautions on the product label.
<br />Aerial Application (Helicopter Only)
<br />Aerial spays should be applied using suitable drift connol (See ^Geneml Use
<br />Precautions").
<br />Foliage Treatment NBliy and Pipeline Rightsof-Way)
<br />Use 4 to B quarts of Garton 4 alone, or 3 to 4 quarts Garton 4 in a tank mix
<br />combination with labeled ales of 2,4-b low volatile ester Tordon 101 MixNre
<br />or Tordon K and apply in a NtaI spay volume of 10 to 30 gallons per acre. Use
<br />the higher rates and volumes when plants are dense or under drought conditions.
<br />Basal Bark and Dormant Brush Treatments
<br />To control susceptible woody plants in rights-of-way, and other non-crap areas,
<br />and in forests, use Garton 4 in ail or oil-water mixNres prepared and applied
<br />as described below. When preparing mixtures, use as oils either a commercially
<br />available bass] oil, diesel fuel, No. 1 or No. 2 fuel oil, or kerosene. Substitute
<br />other oils or diluents only as recommended by the oil or diluent's manufacNrer.
<br />When mixing with a basal oil or other oils or diluents, read and follow the use
<br />directions and precautions on the product label prepared by [he oil or diluent's
<br />mannfaCNrel.
<br />Oil Mixture Sprays
<br />Add Garton 4 [o the required amount of oil in the spray tank or mixing tank and
<br />mix thoroughly. If the mixmre stands over 4 hours, reagitalion is required.
<br />Oil Mixtures ofGarlon 4 and Tordon K: Tordon K and Garton 4 may be used in
<br />rank mix combination for basal bark treatment of woody plants. These herbicides
<br />are incompatible and will not fora[ a stable mixmre when mixed together directly
<br />in oil. Stable Nnk mixtures for basal bark application can be made if each product
<br />is first combined with a compatibility agent prior to final mixing in the desired
<br />a[io. ($ee product bulletin for mixing instmctions.)
<br />Oil-Water Mixture Sprays
<br />First, premix the Garton 4, oil and surfactant in a sepaate container. Do not allow
<br />any water or mixtures containing water to get into the Garton 4 or the premix.
<br />Fill the spray rank about half full with water, then slowly add the premix with
<br />continuous agitation and complete filling the tank with water. Continue modea[e
<br />gitation.
<br />Note: If me premix is put m the tank without any water, the first water added
<br />may form a thick "invert" (water in oil) emulsion which will be hard [o break.
<br />Basal Bark Treatment
<br />To control susceptible woody plants with stems less than 6 inches in basal diameter,
<br />mix 1 to 5 gallons of Garton 4 in enough oil to make 100 gallons of spmy mixmre.

<br />Apply with knapsack sprayer or power spaying equipment using low pressure
<br />(20-40 psi). Spmy the basal pans of bmsh and tree trunks to a height of 12 N l5
<br />inches from the ground. Thorough wetting of the indicated area is necessary for
<br />good control Spmy until mnoff at the ground line is noticeable. OId or rougfi
<br />bark requires more Spmy than smooth young bark. Apply at any time, including
<br />the winter months, except when snow or water prevent splaying to the ground
<br />line.
<br />Low Volume Basal Bark Treatment
<br />7o control susceptible woody plants with stems less than 6 inches in basal diameter,
<br />mix 20 to 30 gallons of Garton 4 in enough oil to make 100 gallons of spray
<br />mixmre. Apply with a backpack or knapsack sprayer using low pressure and a
<br />solid cone or flat fan noule. Spray the basal parts of brush and tree [ranks in
<br />a manner which thoroughly wets the lower stems, including the root collar area,
<br />but no[ N the point of mnoff Herbicide concentration should vary with size and
<br />susceptibility of species treated. Apply at any time, including the winter months,
<br />except when snow or water prevent spmying to the ground line or when stem
<br />surfaCCS are SaNmted Wlth Watel.
<br />Garton 4 Plus Tordon K in Oil Tank Mix: Gallon 4 and Tordon K may be
<br />applied as a low volume basal bark treatment [o improve control of certain woody
<br />species such as ash, elm, maple, poplar, aspen, haekbeny, oak, oceanspay, birch,
<br />hickory, pine, tanoak, cherry, locust, sassafras, and multifloa rose. (See product
<br />bulletin for mixing instructions.)
<br />Streamline Basal Bark Treatment (Southern States)
<br />To control or suppress susceptible woody plants for conifer release, mix ZO Co
<br />30 gallons of Garton 4 in enough oil N make 100 gallons of spay mixmre.
<br />Apply with a backpack or knapsack spayer using equipment which provides a
<br />directed straight stream spay. Apply sufficient spmy N one side of stems less
<br />than 3 inches in basal diameter to form a vested zone that is 6 inches in height.
<br />When the optimum amount of spay mixmre is applied, the treated zone should
<br />widen to encircle [he stem within approximately 30 minutes, Treat both sides of
<br />stems which are 3 to 4 inches in basal diameter. Direct the spmy at bark [hat
<br />is approximately 12 to 24 inches above ground. Pines (loblolly, slash, shortleaf,
<br />and Virginia) up m 2 inches in diameter breast height (dbh) can be controlled
<br />by directing [he spay at a point approximatety 4 fee[ above ground. Vary spmy
<br />mixmre concentration with size and susceptibility of the species being [reared.
<br />Best results are achieved when applications are made m young vigorously growing
<br />stems which have not developed the thicker bark chaacteristic of slower growing,
<br />understory pees in older stands. This technique is not recommended for semb
<br />and live oak species, including blackjack, turkey, post, live, bluejack and laurel
<br />oaks, or biglea( maple. Apply from approzima[eIy 6 weeks prior to hardwood
<br />leaf expansion in the spring until approximately 2 months after leaf expansion
<br />is completed. Do not apply when snow or water prevent spaying at the desired
<br />height above ground level.
<br />Low Volume Stem Bark Band Treatrent (North Central and Lake States)
<br />To control susceptible woody plants with stems less than 6 inches in basal diameter,
<br />mix 20 to 30 gallons of Garton 4 in enough oil to make 100 gallons of spay
<br />mixmre. Apply with a backpack or knapsack spayer using low pressure and a
<br />solid cone or flat fan nozzle. Apply the spay in a 6 to ]0 inch wide band that
<br />completely encircles the stem. Spmy in a manner that completely wets [he bark,
<br />but not to the point of mnoff The treatment band may be positioned at any height
<br />up to the first major booth. For best results apply the band as low as possible.
<br />Spay mixmre concennation should vary with size and susceptibility of species N
<br />be treated. Applications may be made at any time, including winter months.
<br />Thinline Basal Bark Treatment
<br />To connol susceptible woody plants with stems less than 0 inches in diameter,
<br />apply Garton 4 either undiluted or mixed at 50-75%v/v with oil in a thin stream to
<br />all sides of the lower stems. The stream should be directed horizontally to apply
<br />a narrow band around each stem or clump. Use a minimum of 2 N 15 milliliters
<br />of Garton 4 or oil mixmre with Garton 4 to treat single stems and from 25 to
<br />100 milliliters to veal clumps of stems. Use an applicamr metered or caiibared
<br />m deliver the small amounts required.
<br />Dormant Stem Treatment
<br />Dormant stem treatments will control susceptible woody plants and vines with
<br />stems less than 2 inches in diameter. Plants with stems greater than 2 inches in
<br />diameter may not be controlled and resprou[ing may occur This treatment method
<br />is best suited for sites with dense, small diameter bmsh. Dormant stem treatments
<br />of Garton 4 can also be used as a chemical sidetrim for controlling latest branches
<br />of larger trees Iha[ encroach onto roadside, utility, or other rights-of--way.
<br />Mix 4 to 8 quarts of Garton 4 in 2 to 3 gallons of crop oil concentrate or other
<br />recommended oil and add this mixmre to enough water to make 100 gallons of
<br />spay solution. Use continuous adequate agitation. Apply with Radiate, OC or
<br />equivalent nozzles, or handgun using 70 m 100 gallons of spay per acre to ensure
<br />uniform coverage of stems. Garton 4 may be mixed with 4 quarts of Weedone
<br />170 herbicide to improve the connol of black cherry and broaden the spectmm
<br />of herbicidal activity. In western states, apply anytime after woody plants are
<br />dormant. In other areas apply anytime within 10 weeks of budbreak, geneally
<br />February through April. Do not apply m wet or satiated bark as poor connol
<br />may result.
<br />Cut Stump Treatment
<br />To control resprouting ofmr[ stumps of susceptible species, mix 20 m 30 gallons
<br />of Garton 4 in enough ail [o make 100 gallons of spray mixure. Apply with a
<br />backpack or knapsack spayer using low pressures and a solid cone or flat fan
<br />nozzle. Spay the root co0ar area, sides of the stump, and the outer portion of
<br />[he cut surface including the cambium until thoroughly wet, but not to the point
<br />of mnoff. Spmy mixmre concentration should vary with Size and susceptibility
