<br />Methylated Seed Oils or Vegetable Oil Concentrates: Instead of a surfactant,
<br />a methylated vegetable-based seed oil concentrate conmining 5 to 20% surfactant
<br />•and the remainder of the methylated vegetable oil may be used at [he rate of
<br />1.5 to 2 pints per acre. Methylated seed oils provide [heir greatest effects at 30
<br />GPA or Tess. At spray volumes above 50 EPA, their advantage appears negated.
<br />When using spmy volumes greater than 30 gallons per acre methylated seed oil
<br />or vegetable based seed oil concemmtes should be mixed at a rate of ] % of the
<br />total spmy volume or al[ematively use a nonionic surfactant as described below.
<br />Research indicates these oils may aid in deposition and uptake of PLATEAU
<br />herbicide for hard-to-control perennials, waxy leaf species or when plants are
<br />under moisture or tempemmre stress. DO NOT use a methylated seed oil or
<br />vegetable oil concentrate when making applications to newly emerged seedling
<br />pmiriegmsses or wildflowers as injury may occur.
<br />Nonionic Surfacmnts: Use a nonionic surfactant at the rate of 0.25% v/v or
<br />higher (see manufacturer's label) of the spray solution (0.25% v/v is equivalent
<br />to 1 quart in 100 gallons). For best results, select a nonionic surfactant with a
<br />HLB (hydrophilic to lipophilic balance) ratio between 12 and ]7 and having at
<br />least 60%surfactant in the formulated product (alcohols, fatty acids, oils, ethylene
<br />glycol or die[hylene glycol should not be Considered as surfactants [o meet [he
<br />above requirements).
<br />Silicone-Based Surfac[anu: See manufacturer's label for specific rate recom-
<br />mendations. Silicone-based surfactants may reduce the surface tension of the
<br />spray droplet allowing greater spreading on the leaf surface as compared to con-
<br />ventional nonionic surfactants. However, some silicone-based surfactants may
<br />dry too quickly, limiting herbicide uptake and higher spmy volumes may exhibit
<br />"mnoff''.
<br />Fertilizer/Surfactant Blends: Nitrogen-based liquid fertilizers such as 28%N,
<br />32%N, 10-34-0, or ammonium sulfate, may be added a[ [he rate of 2 to 3 pints
<br />per acre in combination with the recommended rate of nonionic surfactant or
<br />methylated seed oil. Research indicates that nitrogen based fertilizers aid in the
<br />bumdown of annual weeds and increase PLATEAU herbicide uptake through
<br />waxy leaf species. However, fertilizers may increase phytotoxiciry to desired
<br />species and newly emerged seedling prairiegmsses and wildflowers. The use of
<br />liquid fertilizers at a rate of 2 to 3 pints per acre in a rank-mix without a nonionic '.
<br />surfacmnt or a methylated seed oil is not recommended and may result in herbicide
<br />failure. Only when liquid fertilizer is used as the spray carrier is no additional
<br />spray adjuvant required.
<br />TANK MIXES
<br />For use in noncrop areas, PLATEAU herbicide may be tank-mixed with
<br />PENDULUM® herbicide far additional connol of late season annual grasses and
<br />certain broadleaves. For additional weed control in noncrop areas, PLATEAU
<br />~erbicide may be tank-mixed with ACCORD'"', ROUNDUPTa PRO, glyphosa[e,
<br />ARSENAL® herbicide, BAHARA® DG herbicide, diuron, CAMPA]GNTM, FI-
<br />NALETM, GARLONTM 3A, MSMA, VANQUISHTM, OU57TM, ESCORTTM, 70R-
<br />DONTM, or other labeled products. A compatibility test is advised for products not
<br />listed. 2,4-D and other phenoxy type herbicides have resulted in reduced control
<br />of perennial grass weeds.
<br />For tank mix recommendations for use in bernudagrasspastures, refer [o [he "DI-
<br />RECTIONS FOR USE IN BERMUDAGRASS PASTURES AND HAY MEAD-
<br />OWS" section.
<br />DO NOT tank mix with organophospha[e insecticides or use the same year as
<br />PLATEAU herbicide when making applications [o newly planted areas.
<br />Consult manufacturer's labels for specific rates and weeds controlled. Always
<br />follow the more restrictive label when making an application involving tank-
<br />mizes.
<br />FOR WEED CONTROL IN PASTURE AND RANGELAND
<br />For the connoV of undesimble weeds in pasture and rangeland (see "GUIDELINES
<br />FOR RANGELAND USE" section), apply PLATEAU herbicide at 2 m 12 oz.
<br />per acre as a broadcast treatment or as a y, to I% solution for spot nea[ments.
<br />See appropriate sections of [his label for specific use directions.
<br />GUIDELINES FOR RANGELAND USE
<br />PLATEAU herbicide may be applied to rangeland for the control of undesirable
<br />vegetation in order to achieve one or more of [he following vegem[ion management
<br />objectives:
<br />1. The control of undesimble (non-native, invasive and noxious) plant species.
<br />2. The connol of undesirable vegetation in order to aid in the establishment of
<br />desimble rangeland plant species.
<br />3. The control of undesirable vegetation in order to aid in the establishment of
<br />desiable rangeland vegemtion following a fire.
<br />4. The connol of undesirable vegetation for purposes of wildfire fuel reduction.
<br />5. The release of existing desirable rangeland plant communities from the com-
<br />petitive pressure of undesimble plant species.
<br />6. The control of undesimble vegetation for purposes of wildlife habitat improve-
<br />ment.
<br />To ensure the protection of threatened and endangered plants when applying
<br />PLATEAU herbicide [o rangeland:
<br />I. Federal agencies must follow NEPA regulations to ensure protection of threat-
<br />ened and endangered plants.
<br />2. State agencies must work with the Fish and Wildlife Service or the Service's
<br />designated state conservation agency to ensure protection of threatened and
<br />endangered plants.
<br />3. Other organizations or individuals must operate under a Habitat Conservation
<br />Plan if threatened or endangered plants are known m be present on the land to
<br />be treated.

<br />Please see the appropriate section(s) of [his label for specific use directions for
<br />the desired rangeland vegetation management objective.
<br />PLATEAU herbicide should only be applied [o a given rangeland acre as specific
<br />weed problems arise. For the control of annual weed species such as chea[grass,
<br />downy brome and medusahead rye, a single application of PLATEAU herbicide
<br />that coincides with the successful establishment and/or release of desimble range-
<br />land vegetation and the use of available IPM can provide effective, susminable
<br />control of [he annual weed problem. Far difficult to control perennial weed species
<br />such as leafy spurge, dalmatian [oadflax and Russian knapweed, a single broadcast
<br />application of PLATEAU herbicide should be effective in most cases. If needed,
<br />spot treatments with PLATEAU herbicide can be used to connol any remnant
<br />plants or new seedlings that may emerge. Long term control of undesimble weed
<br />species ultimately depends on the successful use of land management practices
<br />that promote the growth and sustainability of desimble rangeland plant species.
<br />DIRECTIONS FOR USE IN BERMUDAGRASS PASTURES AND HAY
<br />MEADOWS
<br />PLATEAU herbicide may be used postemergence at a rate of 4 to 12 oz per acre
<br />for control of undesimble winter and summer annual and perennial grasses in
<br />bernudagmss pastures and hay meadows (see rate and timing recommendations
<br />below). PLATEAU herbicide may be used on common and coastal varieties of
<br />bermudagrass including, but not restricted to Tifton 44, 78 and 85, Alicia end
<br />Russell. Suppression of bermudagmss growth for 30 to 45 days or longer may
<br />occur, depending upon growth conditions after application. Jiggs bernudagmss
<br />in particular has shown greater sensitivity b PLATEAU herbicide. Do not use
<br />PLATEAU herbicide if this growth response is not acceptable.
<br />In bernudagrass pastures and hay meadows, even and thorough spray coverage
<br />is necessary to achieve the desired level of weed control. To ensure proper
<br />spray coverage, the sprayer must be calibrated to deliver the recommended spray
<br />volume and pressure and the spmy boom height adjusted m ensure proper coverage
<br />of weed foliage (according to the manufacturer's recommendation). The use of
<br />boomless or flood type nozzles is not recommended and may result in decreased
<br />weed control.
<br />DO NOT apply PLATEAU to drought stressed bermudagmss.
<br />DO NOT use PLATEAU for the establishmentofsprigged or seeded bermudagmss.
<br />DO NOT use PLATEAU on World Feeder varieties of bernudagrass.
<br />DO NOT apply PLATEAU during transition from dormanty to full green-up.
<br />AVOID applications of PLATEAU to newly aerated fields for 30 days after
<br />aeration.
<br />Spring Applications and Bermudagrass Tolerance: Spring application of
<br />PLATEAU herbicide should only be made after beroudagmss has reached 100%
<br />green-up. PLATEAU applications to bervudagmss during transition from win-
<br />ter dormancy to 100% green-up will significantly delay green-up end growth of
<br />bernudagmss, resulting in [he potential loss of one or more cuttings. Bermuda-
<br />grass can be considered to have reached 100% green-up only when all stolons
<br />(runners) have developed new active growth. Partial green-up may be charac4r-
<br />ized by the green appearance of new bermudagrass growth in the field, but upon
<br />close inspection some of [he stolons may not have begun to grow. PLATEAU
<br />applications made a[ this time can still cause significant reductions in bertnuda-
<br />gmss growth and developmem and should be delayed until 100% green-up. To
<br />minimize bermudagmss response from spring appbca[ions, all applications should
<br />be made postemergence to the targeted summer annual or perennial weeds. See
<br />specific use directions below for appropriate postemergence timing for targeted
<br />weed species.
<br />Postemergent Control of Summer Annual and Perennial Grass Weeds: Apply
<br />PLATEAU herbicide after bermudagrass has reached full green-up and target
<br />grass weeds are a[ the desired growth stage (see recommended rates and growth
<br />stages below). Early Spring applications made during transition from dormancy m
<br />green-up will delay bernudagmss green-up and subsequent betmudagmssgrow(h.
<br />Recommended PLATEAU herbicide applications may cause some s[olon in[emode
<br />shortening and yellowing of [he berynudagmss. The use of a nitrogen fertilizer
<br />(32-0-0 or 28-0-0) as the spmy carier will shorten recovery time.
<br />Far summer annual grass control apply 4 to 6 oz per acre of PLATEAU early
<br />postemergence (2 to 4 leaf stage) following full bermudagrass greem-up. If target
<br />weeds are at or above boot stage, apply 6 [0 8 oz per acre for connol. Always add
<br />a surfactant when applying PLATEAU herbicide unless liquid fertilizer is being
<br />used as the spray carrier. PLATEAU will provide some preemergence annual
<br />grass comtrol, however initial applications need to be made postemergence to
<br />target weed species.
<br />For summer perennial grass control apply 6 to 12 oz per acre of PLATEAU
<br />postemergence following betmudagtass green-up. If higher rotes (8 to 12 oz
<br />per acre) are needed for connol of target species, PLATEAU herbicide can be
<br />applied in the fall before killing frost occurs. When making a fall application,
<br />if bernudagmss has been cut for hay, allow sufficient regrowth of target species
<br />before making application. Always add a surfactant when applying PLATEAU
<br />Herbicide unless liquid fertilizer is being used as [he spray carrier.
