SPECIMEN LABEL UPDATES .4 VAILABLE AT \i'R'\i'.GREENBOOK.NET 5 off spay booms while starting, turning, slowing or stopping [o avoid injury to desired plants. Refer to the brush control section of this label for information unique to that articular use. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Fill the tank 4a to 4t full of water. 2. While agitating, add the required amount of ESCOR'fa XP. 3. Continue agitation until [he ESCOR"I® XP is fully dispersed, at leas[ 5 minutes. 4. Once [he ESCOR't® XP is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water. ESCOR'1® XP should be thoroughly mixed with water before adding any other material. 5. As the tank is filling, add tank mix partners (if desired) [hen add the necessary volume of nonionic surfactant Always add surfactant last. 6. If the mixture is not continuouslyagitared, settling will occur. if settling occurs, thoroughly re-agitate before using. 7. ESCOR'I® XP spay prepaations are stable if they are pH neural or alkaline and stored at or below 100°F. 8. If ESCOR'I® XP and a rank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads, pre-slurty the ESCORT° XP in clean water prior to adding to the tank. This will prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the dissolution of the ESCOR7° XP. SPRAYER CLEANUP Spay equipment must be cleaned before ESCORT° XP is spayed. Follow [he cleanup procedures specified on the labels of previously applied products. If no directions are provided, follow [he six steps outlined below. At the End of the Day When multiple loads of ESCOR'fo XP herbicide are applied, it is recommended [hat at [he end of each day of spraying, the interior ofthe tank be rinsed with fresh water and then partially filled, and [he boom and hoses Flushed. This will prevent the buildup of dried pesticide deposits that can accumulate in the application equipment. 1. Drain unk; thoroughly rinse spay tanks, boom, and hoses with clean water. Loosen and physically remove any visible deposits. 2. Fill [he tank with clean water and 1 gal of household ammonia' (contains 3% active) for every 100 gal of water. Flush the hoses, boom, and noules with the cleaning solution. Then add more water to completely fill the tank. Circulate the cleaning solution ehrough the tank and hoses For at least 15 min. Flush the hoses, boom, and noules again with the cleaning solution, and [hen lain the tank. •. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean separately in a bucket containing cleaning agent and water. 4. Repeat step 2. 5. Rinse the tank, boom, and hoses with clean water. 6. If only Ammonia is used as a cleaner, the rinsate solution may be applied back to the crop(s) recommended on this label. Do not exceed the maximum labeled use ate. ]f other cleaners are used, consult the cleaner label for rinsate disposal ins[mctions. If no instmctions are given, dispose of [he rinsate on site or at an approved waste disposal facility. • Equivalentamounts ofan alternate-strength ammonia solution ore Dupont-approvedcleaner can be used in the cleanout procedure. Carefully read and follow the individual leaner instmcvons. Consult your agricultural dealer, applicator, or DuPOm representative for a listing of approved cleaners. Notes: 1. Attention: Do no[ use chlorine bleach with ammonia, as dangerous gases will forth. Do not clean equipment in an enclosed area. 2. Steam-cleaning aerial spmy tanks is recommended prior to performing the above cleanout procedure to facilitate [he removal of any caked deposits. 3. When DuPontTM ESCOR"1® XP is tank mixed with other pesticides, all required cleanoutproceduresshould beexamined and the most rigorous procedure should be followed. 4. In addition to [his cleanout procedure, all precleanout guidelines on subse- quently applied products should be followed as per the individual labels. SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential far spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICA- TOR. IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET S/ZE The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets (> 150- 200microns). The best drift managemem sta[egy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of sensitive species nearby, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an ap- plicatorbalances drib control and coveage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS ~R~DUCES DRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT WILL NOT PREVENT DRIFT IF AP- ~ICA710NS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE EN- iRONMENTAL CONDITIONS! See Wind, Temperature and HumidiTy, and Temperature Inversions sections of this label. Contro(ling Droplet Size-General Techniques • Volume-Use high flow ate nozzles to apply the highest pactical spay vol- ume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. Database and format copyright ©by C&P Press All rights resen~e • Pressure-Use the lower spmy pressures recommended for the Houle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE AHIGHER-CAPACITY NOZ- ZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE. • Noule Type-Use a Houle type [hat is designed for [he intended appbca[ion. With most nouletypes, narrower spmy angles produce largerdroplets. Consider using low-0rift noules. Contro(ling Drople! Side-Alrerofr • Number of Noules-Use [he minimum number of noules with [he highest flow ace that provide uniform coverage. • Noule Orientation-Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, paallel ro the airstream will produce larger droplets than other orientations. • Nozzle Type-Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with swirl plate removed) oriented staight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types. • Boom Length-The boom length should na[ exceed ya of [he wing or rotor length-longer booms increase drift potential. • Application Height-Application more than 10 ft above the canopy increases the potential for spay drift. BOOM HE/GHT Setting [he boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of droplets to evapoa[ion and wind. For ground equipment, [he boom should remain level with [he crop and have minimal bounce. WIND Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than ]0 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS. Note: Local Certain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind pattems and how they affect spmy drift. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment m produce larger droplets to reduce effects of evapoation. TEMPERATURE INNERS/ONS Drift potential is high during a tempeamre inversion. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. 7empeamre inversions are chaacterized by increasing tempeamre with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as [he sun sets and often continue into [he morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke geneator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. SHIELDED SPRAYERS Shielding the boom or individual noules can reduce [he effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product. USE PRECAUTIONS Injury m or lass of desiable tree or other plants may result from failure to observe the following. • If equipmem is drained or Flushed on or near desirable trees or other plants, or on areas where their roots may extend, or in locadons where [he chemical may be washed or moved into contact with their roots. • Treatment ofpowdery, dry soil or light, sandy soil when there is little likelihood ofainfall soon treatment may result in off target movement and possible damage [o susceptible crops when soil particles are moved by wind or water. Injury ro corps may result if treated soil is washed, blown, or moved onto land used to produce crops. Exposure to DuPon[TM ESCORT° XP may injure or kill most crops. Injury may be more severe when the crops are irrigated. • Applications made where mnoff water flows onto agriculmal land may injure crops. Applications made during periods of intense ainfall, to soils samated with water, surfaces paved with materials such as asphalt or concrete, or soils through which ainfall will not readily penetrate may result in runoff and movement of ESCORT° XP. Do not treat frozen soil. Treated soil should be left undisturbed to reduce the potential for ESCORT° XP movement by soil erasion due to wind or water. • Do no[ use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts or similar areas. • Do not apply through any type of irrigation system. • Do no[ use the equipment used to mu or apply ESCOR'1® XP on crops (except pasture, range and wheat). The mixing and application equipment may be used far nonerop areas and conifer plantations only. • When used as directed, there is no gazing restriction for use ales of 1 Yr ounce per acre and less. At use ales of 1$ to 34s ounce per acre forage gasses may be cu[ for hay, fodder or green foage and fed to livestock, including lactating animals, 3 days after treatment. • Do not use this product in the following counties of Colorado: Saguache, Rio Ganda, Alamosa, Costilla and Conejos. • Do no[ use this produa in California.
