<br />cular use.
<br />ING INSTRUCTIONS
<br />1. Fill the conk Ala to 4r full of water.
<br />2. While agitating, add [he requimd amount of ESCOR'1~ XP.
<br />3, Continue agitation until the ESCORT° XP is fully dispersed, at least 5 minuus.
<br />4, Once the ESCORT° XP is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and contnu
<br />filling tank with water. ESCOR7° XP should be thoroughly mixed with wau
<br />before adding any other material.
<br />5. As the conk is fillimg, add rank mix partners (if desired) then add the necessary
<br />volume of nonionic suraacant. Always add surfactant last.
<br />6. If the mixture is not continuously agitaud, settling will occur. If settling occurs,
<br />thoroughly re-agitate before using.
<br />7. ESCOR'I~ XP spray preparations are stable if they are pH neuval or alkaline
<br />and stored at or below 100'F.
<br />8. If ESCORT° XP and a tank mix partner are to be applied in multiple loads,
<br />pre-slurry the ESCOR7° XP in clean water prior to adding to the tank. This
<br />will prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the dissolution of the
<br />ESCORTS XP.
<br />SPRAYER CLEANUP
<br />Spiny equipment must be cleaned before ESCORT° XP is sprayed. Follow the
<br />cleanup procedures specified on dte Labels of previously applied products. if no
<br />directions are provided, follow the six steps outlined below.
<br />At the End of [he Day
<br />When multiple loads of ESCOR'I® XP herbicide are applied, it Ss recommended
<br />that at the end of each day of spraying, [he inurior of dte conk be rinsed with fresh
<br />waur and [hen partially filled, and the boom and hosts flushed. This will prevent
<br />the buildup of dried pesticide deposits drat can acwmulale in the application
<br />equipment.
<br />1. Drain tank; thoroughly rinse spiny conks, boom, and hoses with clean waur.
<br />Loosen and physically remove any visible deposits.
<br />2. Fill the tank with clean water and 1 gal of household ammonia• (contains 3%
<br />acfive) for every 100 gel of water. Flush the hoses, boom, and noales with [he
<br />cleaning solution. Then add roam water m compleuly fill the tank. Cireulau
<br />the cleaning solution through the tank and hose for at least 15 min. flush the
<br />hoses, boom, and noales again with the cleaning solution, and then drain the
<br />unk.
<br />emove the noales and screens and clean separately in a bucket eonmining
<br />leaning agent artd water.
<br />Repeat sup 2.
<br />5. Rinse the mrtk, boom, and hoses with clean water.
<br />6, if only Ammonia is used as a cleaner, the rinsate solution may be applied
<br />back m the crop(s) recommended on this label. Do not exceed the maxrmum
<br />labeled use rate. If other cleaners are used, consult the cleaner label for rinsau
<br />disposal instructions. If no instmctions are given, dispose of [he rinsau on site
<br />or at an approved waste disposal facility.
<br />• Equivalentemounts Dean alternam-srmrgthammoniasoludon ors DuPom-approveddeaorr
<br />can be used N the cleanout procedure. Carefully rind and folbw the individual cleaner
<br />irtswetions. Consuh your agricalmrel dealer, applicator, or DuPont represenmuve for a
<br />listing of approved elwners.
<br />Notes:
<br />1. Attention: Do not use chlorine bleach with ammonia, as dangerous gases will
<br />form. Do not clean equipment in an enclosed area. -
<br />2. Stcamclcaning aerial spiny tanks is recommended prior [o performing the
<br />about cleanout procedure m faeilimu the removal of any caked deposits.
<br />3. When DuPontTM ESCOR7~ XP is conk mixed with other pesticides, all required
<br />eieanou[proceduresshould be examined and the most rigorous procedureshould
<br />be followed.
<br />4. In addition to [his cleanout procedure, all precleanout guidelines on subse-
<br />quently applied products should be followed as pw [he individual labels.
<br />SPRAY DRIFT PIANACEMENT
<br />The in[emclion of many equipment and weatheo-reiated factors determines the
<br />poumial for spiny drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these
<br />facmrs when making application decisions.
<br />AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICA•
<br />TOR
<br />JMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
<br />The mast effective way to reduce drift potential is ro apply large droplets (> 150-
<br />200microns). The best drift management strategy is m apply the lazgest droplets
<br />that provide sufficient covoage and control. The prcaencc of sensitive species
<br />nearby, the environmontal conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an ap-
<br />plicatorbalances drifr Control and coverage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS
<br />DUCES DRIFP POTENTIAL, BUT WILL NOT PREVENT DRIFT IF AP-
<br />~ICATIONS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE EN-
<br />ONMENTAL CONDIT1ONSt See Wind, Temperature end Humidity, and
<br />emperaturc Inversions sections of [his label,
<br />ComrolRng Droplet Size-General Techniques
<br />• Volume-Use high flow cote nozzles to apply the highest practical spray vol-
<br />ume. Noales with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
<br />Database and format eoprrigEtt ©by C&P Press AI[ rights reserved.
<br />• Presanre--Use the lower spiny pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher
<br />pressure reduces droplet size and does not improve canopy penetra0on. WHEN
<br />HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE AHIGHER-CAPACITY NOZ-
<br />ZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASWG PRESSURE.
<br />• Naule Type-Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application.
<br />Wide most mzzle types, narrower spiny angles produce larger droplets. Consider
<br />using low-0rift nozzles.
<br />Connalling Drople! Size-Airerof[
<br />< • Numlxr of Nozzles---Ilse the minimum number of noales with [he highest
<br />r flow rate that provide uniform coverage.
<br />• Nozzle Orientation--0rienting nozzles so that dre spiny is emitted backwards,
<br />parallel to the ahsveam will pzduce larger droplets than ader orientations.
<br />• Nozzle Tvpe-Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core wi0r swirl plate
<br />removed) oriented shaight back produce larger droplets than other noale types.
<br />• Boom Length-The boom length should not exceed y. of [he wing or rotor
<br />length-longer booms increase drift potential.
<br />• Application Height-Application more than 10 ft above the canopy increases
<br />the poundal for spiny drift
<br />6t)OM HEIGHT
<br />Setting the boom a[ Cite lowest labeled height (if specified) which provides uniform
<br />coverage redacts the exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground
<br />equipmen; the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce,
<br />WIND
<br />Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion
<br />potential} or more than 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet siu
<br />and equipment type determine drift potential at any givrn wind speed. AVOID
<br />GUSTY OR WINDLESS CONDITIONS.
<br />Note: Local Certain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should 6e
<br />familiar with local wind panems and how they affect spiny drill.
<br />TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
<br />When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce
<br />larger droplets m reduce effects of evaporation.
<br />TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
<br />Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Tempemmre inversions
<br />restrict vertical a'v mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain close
<br />m the ground and move latemlly in a concentmtW cloud. Tempemmre inversions
<br />are characterized by increasing temperature with altlmde and arc common on
<br />nights with lirni[ul cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the
<br />sun sets end often continue inm the morning. Their presence can be indicated
<br />by ground fog; however, if fog is not present inversions tan also be idcn[ified
<br />by the movemrnt of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke grnemtor.
<br />Smoke that layers and moves latemlly in a concentrated Cloud (under ]ow wind
<br />conditons) iadicaus ao inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidty
<br />dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
<br />SHIELDED SPRAYERS
<br />Shielding the boom Or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However,
<br />it is the responsibility of the app)icaror to verify that the shields are preventing
<br />drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product
<br />USE PRECAUTIONS
<br />Injury [o art toss of desirable tree or outer plants may result from failure to observe
<br />the following.
<br />• If equipment is drained or flushed on or near desirable trees or other plants, or
<br />on areas where their roou may exund, or in locations where the chemical may
<br />be washed or moved into contact with [heir roots.
<br />• Treatment of powdery, dry soil or light sandy soil when there is little likelihood
<br />ofmirtfall soon treanoerttmay result in off Earget movement and possible damage
<br />to suscepnble crops when soil particles are moved by wind or waur Injury m
<br />carps may result if vested soil is washed, blown, or moved onto land used m
<br />produce crops. Exposure to DuPontTM ESCOR'Io XP may injure or kill most
<br />crops. Injttry may be more severe when the crops are irrigated.
<br />• Applications made where mnoffwater flows onto agricultural land may injure
<br />crops. Applications made during pariods of intense rainfall, m soils samraud
<br />with waur, surfaces paved with materials such as asphalt or concrete, or soik
<br />through which rain(atl w01 not readily penetrau may result in mnoff and
<br />movemrnt of ESCORTo XP. Do not treat frozen soil. Treated soil should be
<br />lefr undistrtrbed to reduce the pountia] for ESCOAT~ XP movement by soil
<br />erosion due to wind or water.
<br />• Do not use on lawns, walks, driveways, tennis courts or similar areas.
<br />• Do not apply through any type of irrigation system.
<br />• Do not use the equipment used io mix or apply ESCORT° XP on crops (excep7
<br />pasture, range and wheat). The mixing and applicaBon equipment may be used
<br />for noncrop areas and conifer plantations only.
<br />• When used as directed, there is no grazing restriction for use rates of 1$ ounce
<br />per acre and less: At use rates of 1'/r m 3 4r ounce per acre forage grasses may
<br />be cut for hay, fodder or groan forage and fed to livestock, including lactating
<br />animals, 3 days after treatment.
<br />• Do not use this product in the following counties of Colorado: Saguache, Rio
<br />Grande, Alamosa, Costilla and Conejos.
<br />• Do not use this product in California.
