<br />GENERAL INFORMATION
<br />PLATEAU herbicide is an aqueous solution to be mixed with water and an
<br />adjuvant and applied as a spray solution to provide weed control and/or mrf
<br />height suppression on pastures, rangeland (see "GUIDELINES FOR RANGE-
<br />LAND USE" section), Federal Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land and
<br />noneropland areas including noneropland areas that may be grazed or cut for
<br />hay. Examples of noneropland areas include, but are no[ limited to railroad,
<br />utility, pipeline and highway rights-of--way, ailroad crossings, utihty plant sites,
<br />petroleum tank farms, pumping installations, non-agricultural fence rows, slomge
<br />areas, non-irtigation ditchbanks, prairie sites, airports, industrial mrf, golf courses,
<br />recreational and non-residential turfand other similar areas. PLATEAU herbicide
<br />may be used for the release of bermudagass, bahiagass, smooth bromegass,
<br />whealgrass, "wildtype" common Kentucky bluegrass, native pairiegass, wdd-
<br />flowers,crown vetch, other grasses and certain legumes. PLATEAU herbicide can
<br />also be used for weed control during [he establishment of native pmiriegrasses and
<br />other grasses (see "REVEGETATION WITH PRAfRIEGRASSES AND OTHER
<br />FORAGE GRASSES" section).
<br />PLATEAU herbicide is readily absorbed through leaves, stems, and roots and is
<br />transloca[ed rapidly throughout [he plant, with accumulation in [he meristema[ic
<br />regions. Treated plants stop growing soon aRer spray application. Chlorosis ap-
<br />pearsfirst in [he newest leaves, and necrosis spreads from this point. ti perennials,
<br />[he herbicide is translocated into, and kills, underground slomge organs which
<br />prevents regrowth. Chlorosis and tissue necrosis may not be apparent in some
<br />plant species for several weeks after application. Complete kill of plants may
<br />not occur for severe) weeks after application. Adequate soil moistwe is impor-
<br />tant for optimum PLATEAU herbicide activity. When adequate soil moisture is
<br />present, PLATEAU herbicide will provide residual control of susceptible germi-
<br />nating weeds. Activity on established weeds will depend on the weed species and
<br />rooting depth. PLATEAU herbicide is ainfast one hour after application.
<br />PLATEAU herbicide will control annual and perennial grasses and broadleaf
<br />weeds and vine species. PLATEAU herbicide will provide residual control of
<br />labeled weeds which germinate in the treated area. Cerain brash species and
<br />ornamentals may be injured by direct application of PLATEAU herbicide to
<br />their foliage. This product maybe applied either preemergence or postemergence
<br />to the weeds. However, postemergence application is the method of choice in
<br />most situations, particularly for perennial species. For maximum activity, weeds
<br />should be growing vigorously at the time of postemergence applications and
<br />the spray solution should include an adjuvant (see "SPRAY ADJUVANTS FOR
<br />POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS" section). These solutions may be applied
<br />as a broadcast or as a spot treatment using backpack, of ground equipment.

<br />PLATEAU hefiicide may be applied in the dormant or growing season for weed
<br />control.
<br />Tolerance of deniable gass species to PLATEAU herbicide may be reduced
<br />when gasses are stressed due to insect damage, disease, environmental conditions, •
<br />shade, poorly dained soils or other causes.
<br />Depending on the mrf type being treated, some yellowing of turf may occur
<br />with applications during [he growing season. Depending on weather conditions,
<br />yellowing will usually disappear in 2 [0 4 weeks.
<br />PLATEAU herbicide should not be applied to newly seeded or sprigged grass
<br />stands, unless otherwise stated in this label (see ' REVEGETATION WITH
<br />PRAIR]EGRASSFS AND OTHER FORAGE GRASSES" section).
<br />MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
<br />Fill the spray tank one-half to three-quarters full with clean water. Use a calibrated
<br />measuring device to measure [he required amount of PLATEAU herbicide. Add
<br />PLATEAU herbicide to the spray tank while agitating. Fill the remainder of the
<br />tank with water.
<br />For postemergence applications, add a surfactant m the spay tank (see "SPRAY
<br />ADJUVANTS FOR POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS" section of this label
<br />for specific recommendations). Maintain agitation while spraying [o ensure a
<br />uniform spray mixture. An antifoaming agent may be added to the tank if needed.
<br />When tank-mixing PLATEAU herbicide with recommended herbicides, add wet-
<br />tablepowders, dispersible granules or other dry formulations first, [hen EC's, then
<br />PLATEAU herbicide, and then an adjuvant.
<br />SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS
<br />DO NOT apply during windy or gusty conditions unless applications are being
<br />made with a drift control agent and/or an enclosed or shielded spray system. DO
<br />NOT apply if rainfall is threatening. Rainfall within 1 hour aRer PLATEAU
<br />herbicide application may reduce weed control.
<br />GROUND APPLICATIONS:
<br />Uniformly apply with properly calibrated ground equipment in 2 or more gallons
<br />of water per acre. Application equipment, specially designed to make low volume
<br />application should be used when making applications using less than 10 galons
<br />of water per acre. A spray pressure of 20 to 40 psi is recommended.
<br />To achieve acceptable control of [he target vegetation, good spray coverage of
<br />the weed foliage (postemergence) or soil surface (poeemergence) is required. To
<br />achieve good spray coverage [he sprayer must be calibrated to deliver the recom-
<br />mended spray volume and pressure and adjust the spiny bomm height [o ensure
<br />proper coverage of weed foliage or soil surface (according to the manufacturer's
<br />recommendation). Avoid overlaps when spaying.
<br />SPOT TREATMENTS:
<br />To prepare the spray solution, thoroughly mix in water 0.25 to LS% (0.3 to
<br />].9 oz/gallon water) PLATEAU herbicide plus an adjuvant (see "SPRAY AD-
<br />NVANTS FOR POSTEMERGENCE APPLICATIONS" section). A medtylated
<br />seed oil at I % v/v is the recommended spray adjuvant exceptwhen treating seedling
<br />pairiegrasses and wildflowers. See section on desired species and do not exceed
<br />the recommended PLATEAU rate per acre. Also see "WEEDS CONTROLLED"
<br />and "SPECIAL WEED CONTROL" sections for specific rate and/or tank-mix
<br />recommendations.
<br />AERIAL APPLICATION:
<br />All precautions should be taken to minimize or eliminate spray drift. Fixed wing
<br />aircaft and helicopters can be used to apply PLATEAU herbicide, however, when
<br />making applications by fixed wing aircraft maintain appropriate buffer zones to
<br />prevent spray drift out of the target area. Aerial equipment designed to minimize
<br />spray drift such as a helicopter equipped with a MICROFOILTM boom, or THRU-
<br />VALVEr'" boom or raindrop nozzles, must be used and calibrated. Ezcept when
<br />applying with a MICROFOIL boom, a drift control agent may be added at the
<br />recommended Zabel ate. To avoid drift, applications should not be made during
<br />inversion conditions, when winds are gusty, or under any other conditions that
<br />promote spray drift.
<br />Uniformly apply recommended amount of PLATEAU herbicide, using enough
<br />water volume to provide adequate coverage of target area or foliage. Include an
<br />adjuvant in the spray solution (see "SPRAY ADNVANTS FOR POSTEMER-
<br />GENCE APPLICATIONS" section). A foam reducing agent may be added at
<br />the recommended rate, if needed. Aerial apphcation to target species growing
<br />under [he canopy of trees and brash may not receive sufficient spray coverage far
<br />effective control. For weed species with a recommended fall application timing
<br />(see "SPECIAL WEED CONTROL" section), delaying the aerial application
<br />until trees and brush have dropped their leaves can improve weed control and
<br />reduce the potential for tree and brash injury (see "TOLERANCE OF TREES
<br />AND BRUSH TO PLATEAU HERBICIDE" section).
<br />IMPORTANT: Thoroughly clean application equipment, including landing gear,
<br />immetliately after use of this product. Prolonged exposure of this product [o
<br />uncoated steel (except stainless steel) surfaces may resulC m corrosion stud failure
<br />of the exposed part. The maintenance of an organic coating (paint) may prevent
<br />corrosion.
<br />Avoid overlaps when spraying.
<br />SPRAY ADJUVANTS FOR POSTEMERCENCE APPLICATIONS
<br />Postemergence applications of PLATEAU herbicide require a spay adjuvant. -
<br />See "SPECIAL WEED CONTROL" section. Due to variations m surfactant
<br />contents, certain surfactants containing high amounts of alcohols, paraffin based
<br />petroleum oils, and other compounds which can increase phyto[oxicity ro deniable
<br />vegemtion, it is recommended to choose a low phytotoxic surfactant.
