<br />potential for spray drift. The applicator and [he entity authorizing spraying are
<br />responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions.
<br />Spray drift from applying this product may result in damage to sensitive plants
<br />adjacent to the treatment area. Only apply this product when the potential for
<br />drift to these and other adjacent sensitive areas (e.g, residential areas, bodies of
<br />water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, or non-Target crops)
<br />is minima]. Do not apply when [he following conditions exist that increase
<br />the likelihood of spray drift from intended targets: high or gusty winds, high
<br />temperatures, low humidity, temperature inversions.
<br />To minimize spay drift, the applicator should be familiar with and rake into
<br />accountthefoliowing drift reduction advisory information. Additional information
<br />may be available from state enforcement agencies or the Cooperative Extension
<br />on [he application of this product.
<br />The best drift managemem strategy and most effective way m reduce drift potential
<br />are [o apply large droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying
<br />larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications
<br />are made improperly, or under unfavoable environmental conditions (see WIND,
<br />TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITI', and TEMPERATURE ]NVERSIONS).
<br />CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE
<br />• Volume-Use high flow ate nozzles to apply the highestpactical spay volume.
<br />Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
<br />• Pressure-Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures.
<br />For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher
<br />flow ales are needed, use higher flow ate nozzles instead of increasingpressure.
<br />• Number ofNozzles-Usethe minimum number of nozzles that provide uniforn
<br />coverage.
<br />• Nozzle Orientation-0rien[ing nozzles so that the spay is released paallel to
<br />the airstream produces larger droplets than other orienmtions and is recom-
<br />mended practice. Significant deFlection from the horizonal will reduce droplet
<br />size and increase drift potential.
<br />• Nozzle Type-Use a nozzle type [hat is designed for the intended application.
<br />With most nozzle types, narower spay angles produce larger droplets. Consider
<br />using lowdtifi nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented staigh[ back produce
<br />the largest droplets and the lowest drift. Do not use nozzles producing a mist
<br />droplet spray.
<br />APPLICATION HEIGHT
<br />Making applications at the lowest possible height (helicopter, ground driven spay
<br />boom) that is safe and pacrical reduces exposure of droplets to evapoation and
<br />wind.
<br />SWATH ADJUSTMENT
<br />When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced down-
<br />wind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the treatment area, the
<br />applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of [he
<br />application equipment (e,g. aircaft, ground) upwind. Swath adjustment distance
<br />should increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller droplets, etc.).
<br />WIND
<br />Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 3-I O mph. However, many
<br />factors, including droplet size and equipmem type, determine drift potential at any
<br />given speed. Application should be avoided below 3 mph due to variable wind
<br />direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind
<br />pa[[ems. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how
<br />they affect spay drift.
<br />TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
<br />When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce
<br />larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe
<br />when conditions are both hot and dry.
<br />TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
<br />Drift potential is high during a tempeature inversion. Temperature inversions
<br />res[ria vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain
<br />in a concentrated cloud, which can move in unpredictable directions due to
<br />the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are
<br />characterized by increasing tempeatures with altitude and are common on nights
<br />with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun
<br />sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by
<br />ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by
<br />the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircmfr smoke generator.
<br />Smoke [hat layers and moves lateally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind
<br />conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and apidly
<br />dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
<br />WIND EROSION
<br />Avoid treating powdery dry or light sandy soils when conditions are favoable for
<br />wind erosion. Under these conditions, [he soil surface should firs[ be settled by
<br />ainfall or irrigation.
<br />SENSITIVE AREAS
<br />The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drill to adjacent
<br />sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies ofwatey known habitat for threatened
<br />or endangered species, or non-mrge[ crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing
<br />away from the sensitive areas).

<br />apply ARSENAL using the least amount of water pac[ical to obtain uniform
<br />coveage of the vegemtion foliage. Using excessive spray volumes which cause
<br />mnoff from the plant foliage may result in reduced performance.
<br />When using spay volumes greater than 60 gallons per acre, additional nonionic
<br />surfactant must be added at the ate of 1 gnart per 100 gallons of spay solution

<br />WEEDS CONTROLLED
<br />ARSENAL will provide pos[emergenmcan[rol with residual control ofthe follow-
<br />ing target vegetation species a[ the rates listed. Residual control refers to control
<br />of newly germinating seedlings in both annuals and perennials. In general, an-
<br />nual weeds may be controlled by preemergence or postemergence applications
<br />of ARSENAL; whereas, for esmblished biennials and perennials, postemergence
<br />applications of ARSENAL are recommended. ARSENAL should be used only
<br />in accordance with the recommendations on this label and the leaflet label.
