<br />(Tim Hill mustard).
<br />• Suppression is a visual reduction in weed competruon (reduced population or vigor) as
<br />compared m untrrated areas. Degree of suppression will vary with Ne size of weed and
<br />rnvironmenml condidom following trratrvent
<br />Application liming
<br />For established grasses, apply when weeds arc in the seedling stage.
<br />For grasses in the seedling smge, apply preplan[ or preemergrnce where the soil
<br />(seed bed) has been cultivated.
<br />BRUSH CONTROL
<br />Application Information
<br />ESCOR'I® XP is recommended for [he control of undesirable bms6 growing in
<br />noncrop areas. Applications may be made by am, high volume ground application,
<br />low volume ground apphcation and ultra-low volume ground application. Except
<br />as noted for multiflora rase, ESCORI° XP should be applied as a spray to the
<br />foliage.
<br />The apphcation volume required will vary with the height and density of the bmsft
<br />and the application equipment used. Generally, aerial apphcadons will require
<br />IS to 25 gallons of water per acre; high volume ground application will require
<br />100 to 400 ga0ons of water per acre; low volume ground application will require
<br />20 to 50 gallons of water per acre; and ultra-low volume ground application will
<br />require ] 0 m 20 gallons of waur per acre.
<br />Regardless of the apphcation volume and equipment used, thorough coverage of
<br />the foliage is necessary to optimiie results. - -

<br />Apply the spray preparation with an exact delivery handgun applicator. Apply
<br />st the rate of 4 milliliters for each 2 feet of rase canopy diamercc. Direct the
<br />vestment to the soil within 2 feet of Ute stem union. When trearing large plants
<br />roll more than ont delivery is required, make applications on opposite sides of
<br />he plant.
<br />Spplications should be made from early spring m summer.
<br />,MPORTANT PRECAUTIONS-NON-CROP BRUSH ONLY
<br />. When using rank mixmrcs of ESCORTa XP with companion herbicides, read

<br />nent for application to agricultural crops, except that i[ may be used to treat
<br />iasmre, range and wheat This is extremely important as low rates of ESCORT°~
<br />CP can kill or severely injure most agricultural crops.
<br />'he selected sprayer should be equipped with en agitation system ro keep
<br />iSCORT° XP suspended in the spiny tank. Use a efficient volume of weror m
<br />rorough]y cover the foliage of undesirable weeds, generally 10 m 40 gallons per
<br />ere. Select a spray volume and delivery system that will deliver a uniform spray
<br />attem. Be sort the sprayer is calibrated before use. Avoid overlapping and shut
