<br />Long-sleeved shirt and long pants.
<br />Shoes plus socks.

<br />tmctions far washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE
<br />pamtely from other laundry.
<br />USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
<br />Users shoola: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco
<br />or using the toilet.
<br />ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
<br />Do not apply directly ro water, or to areas where surface water is present, or m
<br />intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when
<br />disposing of equipmem washwatars.
<br />This herbicide is injurious to plants at extremely low concentrations. Nontarget
<br />plants may be adversely effected from drift and run-off.
<br />IMPORTANT
<br />DO NOT USE ON FOOD OR FEED CROPS EXCEPT AS RECOMMENDED BY
<br />THIS LABEL OR SUPPLEMENTAL LABELING. Injury to or loss of desimble
<br />trees or other plane may result from failure to observe the following: Do not
<br />apply DuPonITM ESCOR'I® XP herbicide (except as recommended), or drain or
<br />flush equipment on or near desimble trees or other plants, or on areas where their
<br />roots may extend or in locations where the chemical may be washed or moved into
<br />contact with their roots. Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis coons,
<br />or similar areas. Prevent drift of spay to desirable plants. Do not contaminate
<br />any body of water, including irtigation water. Keep from contact with fertilizers,
<br />insecticides, fungicides and seeds.
<br />Following an ESCOR'I~ XP application, do not use sprayer for application to
<br />crops. This is exvemely important, as low rates of ESCOR7° XP can kill or
<br />severely injure most crops (except small grains).
<br />GENERAL WFORMATION
<br />ESCOR'1® XP herbicide is a dispersible granule Iha[ is mixed in water and applied
<br />as a spiny. ESCOR"I® XP controls many annual and perennial weeds and woody
<br />plants in non-crop areas and conifer plantations.
<br />ESCOR'f® XP may be used for general weed and bmsh control on industrial
<br />nonstop sites and for selective weed control in certain types of unimproved turf
<br />gmsses on industrial sites and in native gmsses. I[ can also be used for controlling
<br />and suppressing undesirable weeds and hardwoods in conifer plantations.
<br />ESCOR'I® XP controls weeds and woody plants primarily by postemergent ac[iv-
<br />iry. Although ESCOR7® XP has preemergence activity, best results are generally
<br />brained when ESCOR'I® XP is applied to foliage afrer emergence or dormancy
<br />teak. Except where noted, ESCOR'I® XP provides the best results when applied
<br />to young, actively growing weeds. The use rate depends upon the weed species
<br />and size at the time of application.
<br />The degree and duration of control may depend on the following:
<br />• weed spectrum and infestation intensity
<br />Database and format copyright ©by CRP Press. All rights reserves
<br />• weed size at application
<br />• environmental conditions at and following treatment
<br />• sail pH, soil moisture, and soil organic matter
<br />]t is permissible to apply ESCOR'I® XP to floodplains where surface water is no[
<br />present, tertestrial areas of deltas and low lying areas where water is drained but
<br />may be isolated in pockets due to uneven or unlevel conditions.
<br />ESCOR'I® XP is noncortosive, nonflammable, nonvolatile and does not freeze.
<br />ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
<br />ESCOR'I® XP is absorbed primarily through [he foliage of plants, and by [he
<br />roots to a lesser degree. Plant cell division is generally inhibited in sensitive
<br />plants within a few hours following uptake. Two to 4 weeks after application,
<br />leaf growth slows followed by discoloration and [issue death. The final effect on
<br />annual weeds are evident about 4 to 6 weeks after application. The ultimate effect
<br />on perennial weeds and woody plants occurs in the growing season following
<br />application.
<br />Warm, moist conditions following treatment promote the activity of ESCOR'1®
<br />XP, while cold, dry conditions may reduce or delay activity. Weeds and bmsh
<br />hardened off by cold weather or drought stress may not be controlled.
<br />The use of a surfactant is recommended to enhance the control of susceptible
<br />plants, except where noted. Apply at a minimum rate (concentration) of 4.%
<br />volume/votume (1 qt. per 100 gal. of spray solution), or et the manufacturer's
<br />recommended rate. Use only EPA approved surfactants containing s[ least 80%
<br />active ingredient Certain types of surfactants, such as those incorporating acetic
<br />acid (i.e. L]-700), may not be compatible with ESCOR7° XP and may result
<br />in decreased performance. Certain surfactanu may not be suitable for use on
<br />desimble plants, such as Nrf and conifers, listed on this label. Consult the
<br />surfactant manufacturer's label for appropriate uses.
<br />Weed and brush control may be reduced if rainfall occurs soon after application.
<br />RESISTANCE
<br />Biotypes of certain weeds listed on this label are resistant to ESCOR'I® XP and
<br />other herbicides with the same mode of action, even at exaggerated application
<br />mre5. Biotype5 are naturally occurting individuals of a species that are identical in
<br />appearance but have slightly different genetic compositions; the mode of action of
<br />a hefiicide is the chemical interaction that interrupts a biological process necessary
<br />for plant growth and development.
<br />If weed control is unsatisfactory, it may be necessary to repeat problem areas
<br />using a product with a different mode of action, such as pos[emergence broadleaf
<br />and/or grass herbicides.
<br />If resistant weed biorypes such as kochia, prickly lettuce, and Russian thistle are
<br />suspected or known to be present use atank-mix partner with ESCOR7° XP to
<br />help control these biorypes, or use a planned herbicide rotation program where
<br />other residual broadleaf herbicides having different modes of action are used.
