<br />of species treated. Apply at any time, including in winter months, except when
<br />snow or water prevent spraying to the ground line.
<br />Treatment of Cut Stumps in Western Stales
<br />To control resprouting of salt-cedar and other Tamarix species, bigleaf maple,
<br />tanoak, Oregon myrtle, and other susceptible species, apply undiluted Garlon 4 to
<br />wet the cambium and adjacent wood around the entire circumference of the cut
<br />stump. Treatments may be applied throughout [he year; however, control may be
<br />reduced with treatrnent during periods of moisture stress as in late summer. Use
<br />an applicator which can be calibrated N deliver the small amounts of material
<br />required.
<br />Note: All basal bark and dormant bmsh treatment methods may be used to treat
<br />susceptible woody species on range and pernanen[ pasture land provided that no
<br />more than I.5 quarts of Garlon 4 are applied per acre. Large plants or species
<br />requiring higher rotes of Garlon 4 may not be completely controlled.
<br />Forest Management Applications
<br />Far broadcast applications apply the recommended rate of Garlon 4 in a total spray
<br />volume of 5 to 25 gallons per acre by air or 10 to 100 gallons per acre by ground.
<br />Use spray volumes sufficient to provide thorough coverage oftreated foliage. Use
<br />application systems designed to prevent spray drift to off-target sites. Nozzles
<br />or additives that produce larger droplets may require higher spray volumes N
<br />provide adequate coverage.
<br />Plant Back ]nterval for Conifers: Conifers planted sooner than 1 month after
<br />treatment with Garlon 4 at Tess than 4 quarts per acre or sooner than 2 months
<br />after treatment at 4 to 8 quarts per acre may be injured. When tank mixures of
<br />herbicides are used for forest site preparation, labels for all produce in the mixture
<br />should be consulted and the longest recommended waiting period observed.
<br />Broadcast Treatments for Forest Site Preparation (Not Far Conifer Release)
<br />Southern States Including Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia,
<br />Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Car-
<br />olina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia: To control susceptible woody plants
<br />and broadleaf weeds, apply Garlon 4 at a rate of 4 to 8 quarts per acre. To
<br />broaden the specwm of woody plants and broadleaf weeds controlled, apply 2
<br />N 4 quarts per acre of Garlon 4 in tank mix combination with labeled rates of
<br />7ordon 101 Mixture or Tordon K. 7ordon IOI Mixture and Tordon K are not
<br />registered for'use in the states of Califomia and Florida. Where grass control is
<br />also desired, Garlon 4, alone or in combination with Tordon K or 7ordon IOI
<br />MixNre, may be tank mixed with labeled rates of other herbicides registered for
<br />grass control in forests. Use of tank mix products must be in accordance with the
<br />most restrictive of label limitations and precautions. No label application rates
<br />should be exceeded. Garlon 4 cannot be tank mixed with any product containing
<br />a label prohibition against such mixing.
<br />In Western, Northeastern, North Central, and Lake States (Slates Not Listed
<br />Above As Southern States): To control susceptible woody plants and broadleaf
<br />weeds, apply Garlon 4 at a race of 3 to 6 quarts per acre. To broaden the spectmm
<br />of woody plane and broadleaf weeds controlled, apply 1.5 to 3.0 quarts per acre
<br />of Garlon 4 in rank mix combination with labeled rates of Tordon 101 Mrxmre,
<br />Tordon K, or 2,4-D low volatile ester. Tordon 101 Mixture and Tordon K are not
<br />registered foruse in the states of Califomia and Florida. Where grass control is also
<br />desired, Garton 4, alone or in tank mix combination with Tordon 101 Mixture
<br />or Tordon K, may be applied with labeled rates of other herbicides registered
<br />for grass control in forests. When applying tank mites, follow applicable use
<br />directions and precautions on each product label.
<br />Applications for Site Preparation in Southern Coastal Fiatwoods: 7o control
<br />susceptible broadleafweeds and woody species such as gallberry and wax-myrtle,
<br />and for partial control of saw-palmetto, apply 2 to 4 quaffs per acre of Garlon 4.
<br />To broaden the spectmm of species controlled to include fetterbush, staggerbush,
<br />till, and grasses, apply 2 to 3 quarts per acre of Garton 4 in tank mix combination
<br />with labeled rates of Arsenal Applicator's Concentrate herbicide. Where control
<br />of gallberry, wax-myrtle, broadleaf weeds, and grasses is desired, 2 to 3 quarts
<br />per acre of Garlon 4 may be applied in tank mix combination with labeled rates
<br />of Accord herbicide.
<br />These treatments maybe broadcast during site preparation of flat planted or bedded
<br />sites or, on bedded sites, applied in bands over the top of beds. For best results,
<br />make applications in late summer or fall. Efficacy may not be satisfactory when
<br />applications are made in early season prior to August. Note: Do not apply after
<br />planting pines.
<br />Applications for Conifer Release
<br />Note: Applications for conifer release may cause temporary damage and growth
<br />suppression where contact with conifers occur; however, injured conifers should
<br />recover and grow normally. Over-the-top spray applications can kill pines.
<br />Directed Sprays
<br />7o release conifers from competing hardwoods and bmsh such as red maple,
<br />sugar maple, striped maple, sweetgum, red and white oaks, ash, hickory, alder,
<br />birch, aspen, pin cherry, Ceanorhus spp., blackberry, chinquapin, and poison oak,
<br />mix 4 to 20 quarts of Garlon 4 in enough water to make ]00 gallons of spray
<br />mixture. This spray should be directed onto foliage of competinve hardwoods
<br />using knapsack or backpack sprayers with flat fan nozzles or equivalent any time
<br />after the hardwoods and bmsh have reached full leaf size, but before autumn
<br />coloration. The majority of treated hardwoods and bmsh should be less than 6
<br />feet in height [o ensure adequate spiny coverage. Care should be taken to direct
<br />spray solutions away from conifer foliage, particularly foliage of desirable pines.
<br />See Table 1 for relationship between mrxmg rata spray volume and maximum
<br />application rate.

<br />combination with either Arsenal Applicator's Concentrate or Escort herbicide.
<br />These mixures should be broadcast applied over mrget understory bmsh species,
<br />but to prevent injury to pines, make applications underneath the foliage
<br />of pines. It is recommended that spmys be applied in 30 or more gallons per
<br />acre of Nml volume. For best results, make applications in late summer or fall.
<br />Efficacy may not be satisfactory when applications are made in early season prior

<br />On Dormant Conifers Before Bud Swell (Excluding Pines): To control or
<br />suppress deciduous hardwoods such as vine maple, bigleaf maple, alder, scotch
<br />broom, or willow before leafou[ or evergreen hardwoods such as madrone,
<br />chinquapin, and Ceanorhus spp., use Garlon 4 at 1 to 2 quarts per acre. Diluents
<br />used may be diesel or Nel oil. Or, water plus 1 N 2 gallons per acre of diesel
<br />ail or a suitable surfactant or oil subsdNte a[ manufacNrer's recommended rates
<br />may be used.
<br />On Conifer Plantations (Excluding Pines) After Hardwoods Begin Growth
<br />and Before Conifer Bud Break ("Early Foliar" Hardwood Stage): Use Garlon
<br />4 at 1.0 N 1.5 quarts alone or plus 2,4-D low volatile ester herbicide in water
<br />carter N provide no more than 3 pounds acid equivalent per acre from bath
<br />products. After conifer bud break, these spmys may cause more serious injury
<br />to the crop trees. Use of a surfactant may cause unacceptable injury to conifers
<br />especially after bud break.
<br />On Conifer Plantations (Excluding Pines) After Conifers Harden Off In Late
<br />Summer and While Hardwoods Are Still Growing Actively: Use Garlon 4 at
<br />rates of 1.0 N LS quarts per acre alone or plus 2,4-D low volatile ester to provide
<br />no more than 3 pounds acid equivalent per acre from both products. Treat as soon
<br />after conifer bud hardening as possible so that hardwoods and bmsh are actively
<br />growing. Use of oil, oil substiN[e, or surfactant may cause unacceptable injury
<br />to the conifers.
