<br />Methylated Seed ORs or Vegetable OB Camcentratea: Insmad of a surfactant,
<br />a methylated vegetable-based seed oil concentram containing 5 to 20% surfactant
<br />and the remainder of the methylated vegemble o0 may be used at the rate of
<br />1.5 m 2 pints per acre: -Methylated seed oils provide their greatest effecm et 30
<br />A or less. At spiny volumes above 50 GPA, their advanmgc appears negated.
<br />en using spiny volumes greater than 30 gallons per acre methylated seed oil
<br />r vegemble based seed oil concentrates shwld be mixed at a rate of 1% of the
<br />total spiny volume or alternatively use a nonionic surfactant as described below.
<br />Research indicates these oils may aid in deposition and uptake of PLATEAU
<br />hefiicide for herd•tocontrol perennials, waxy leaf species or when plants are
<br />under moisture or tempemmre stress. DO NOT use a methylated seed oil or
<br />vegpmbk oil rnncentmm when making applications m newly emerged seedling
<br />pmiriegrasses or wildflowers as injury may ocem.
<br />Nonionic Surfactants: Use a nonionic surfactant at the rate of 0.25% v/v or
<br />higher (see manufacturer's label) of [he spiny solution (0.25% v/v is equivalent
<br />to 1 quad in 100 gallons). For best results, select a nonionic surfactant with a
<br />HLB (hydrophilic to lipophilic balance) ratio between 12 and 17 and having a[
<br />least 60% surfactant in the formulated product (alcohols, fatty acids, oils, ethylene
<br />glycol or diethylene glycol should not be considered as surfactants to meet the
<br />above requirements).
<br />Silicone-Based Surfactants: See manufacmrer's label for specific rate recom-
<br />mendations. Silicone-based surfactanm may reduce the surface tension of the
<br />spiny droplet allowing greater spreading on the leaf surface as compared m con-
<br />ventional nonionic surtactanm. Howevtt, some silicone-based surfactanm may
<br />dry roe quickly, limiting herbicide upmke and higher spiny volumes may exhibit
<br />..~-off„
<br />Fertilizer/SUrfactaot Blends: Nitrogen-based liquid fertilizers such as 28%N,
<br />32%N, 10-34-0, or ammonium sulfau, may be added at the rate of 2 to 3 pints
<br />per acre in combination with the recommended rate of nonionic sudacmnt or
<br />methylated ued oil. Research indicates that nitrogen baud fertilizers aid in the
<br />bumdown of annual weeds and increase PLATEAU herbicide upmke through
<br />waxy leaf species. However, fertilizers may increase phytotozicity m desired
<br />species and newly emerged uedling prairiegrasses and wildflowers. The use of
<br />liquid fertilizers at a rate of 2 to 3 pints per acre in a rank-mix without a nonionic
<br />surfactant or.a methylated seed oil is not recommended and may result in herbicide
<br />failure. Only when liquid fertilizer is used as the spiny carver is no additional
<br />spray adjuvant required.
<br />TANK MIXES
<br />For use in noncrop areas, PLATEAU herbicide may be rank-mixed with
<br />PENDULUM° herbicide for additional conrol of lam season annual grasses and
<br />certain. broadleaves. For addidonal weed control N noncro~ areas, PLATEAU
<br />herbicide may be rank-mixed with ACCORD'", ROUNDUP ° PRO, glyphosatc,
<br />ENAL° hefiieide, SAHARA° DG herbicide, diuroq CAMPAIGNTM FI-
<br />ALETM, GARLONTM 3A, MSMA, VANQUISHTM, OUSTTM, ESCORTTM, TOR-
<br />ON TM or other labeled producm. A wmpatibility test is advised for products not
<br />listed. 2,4-D and other phenoxy type herbicides have resulted in reduced control
<br />of perennial gross weeds.

<br />RECTIONS FOR USE IN BERMUDAGRASS PASTURES AND HAY MEAD-
<br />OWS" section.
<br />DO NOT tank mix with organophospha[e insecticides or use [he same year as
<br />PLATEAU herbicide when making applications to newly planted areas.
<br />Consul[ manufacturer's ]abets for specific rates and weeds controlled. Always
<br />follow the mom restrictive label when making an application involving tank-
<br />mixes.
<br />FOR WEED CONTROL IN PASTURE AND RANGELAND
<br />For the control of undesirable weeds m pasmrc and rangeland (ue "GUIDELINES
<br />FOR RANGELAND USE" section), apply PLATEAU herbicide at 2 to 12 oz.
<br />per acre-as a bmadcast vestment or as a 44 [0 1 % solution for spot treatmenm.
<br />See appropriate actions of this label for specific use directions.
<br />GUIDELINES FOR RANGELAND USE
<br />PLATEAU herbicide may be applied ro rangeland for the conrml of undesirable
<br />vegemtion in order to achieve one or mare mfthe to0owing vegetation management
<br />objectives:
<br />1. The control of undesirable (non-native, invasive and noxious) plant species.
<br />2. The control of undesirable vegetation in order to aid in the esmblishmem of
<br />desirable rangeland plant species.
<br />3. The control of undesirable vegetation in order to aid in the establishment of
<br />desirable rangeland vegetation following a fire.
<br />4. The control of undesirable vegetation for purposes of wildfire fuel reduction.
<br />S. The release of existing desirable rangeland plant communities from the com-
<br />petitive pressure of undesirable plan[ species.
<br />6. The conhol of undesirable vegeation for purposes of wildlife habitat improve-
<br />ment
<br />To ensure the protection of threatened and endangered plants when applying
<br />PLATEAU herbicide to rangeland;
<br />1. Federal agencies must follow NEPA regulations to ensure prorection of threat-
<br />ened and endangered plants.
<br />State agencies must work with the Fish and Wildlife Service ar [he Service's
<br />designated state conservation agency ro ensure protection of threatened and
<br />endangered planet.
<br />3. Other organizations ar individuals must operate under a Habitat Conservation
<br />Plan if threatened or endangered plants are known m be present on the land [o
<br />be heated.

<br />Please ue the appropriate section(s) of this label for specific use directions for
<br />the desired rangeland vegeation management objective.
<br />PLATEAU herbicide should only be applied to a given rangeland acre as specific
<br />weed problems arise. For the control of annual weed specie such as cheatgrass,
<br />downy bmme and medusahead rye, a single application of PLATEAU herbicide
<br />that coincides with the successful establishment and/or releau of desirable range-
<br />land vegetation and the use of available IPM can provide effective, sustainable
<br />control of the annual weed problem. For difficult to control perennial weed species
<br />such as leafy spurge, dalmatian toadflax and Russian knapweed, a single bmadcast
<br />application of PLATEAU herbicide should be effective in most cases. If needed,
<br />spot treatments with PLATEAU herbicide can be used to control any remnant
<br />plants or new seedlings that may emerge. Long term control ofundesirable weed
<br />species ultimately depends on the successful use of land management pmetices
<br />that promote [he growth and sustainability of desirable rangeland plant species.
<br />DIRECTIONS FOR USE 1N BERMUDAGRASS PASTURES AND HAY
<br />MEADOWS
<br />PLATEAU herbicide may be used postemergence at a rate of 4 m 12 oz per acre
<br />for control of undesirable winter and summer annual and perennial grasses in
<br />''. bermudagrass pasmres and hay meadows (see ram and timing recommendations
<br />below). PLATEAU herbicide may be used on common and coastal varieties of
<br />bennudagress including, but not restneted m Tifton 44, 78 and 85, Alicia and
<br />Rusull. Suppression of bermudagrass growdt for 30 to 45 days or longer may
<br />' ocNq depending upon growth conditions after application. Diggs bennudagmss
<br />in particular has shown greater sensitivity m PLATEAU herbicide. Do not uu
<br />PLATEAU herbicide if this growth response is not acceptable.
<br />ta bermudagrass pasmres and hay meadows, even and thorough spiny coverage
<br />is necessary to achieve the desved level of weed control. To ensure proper
<br />spiny coveragq [he sprayer must be calibrated to deliver the recommended spiny
<br />volume and pressure and the spiny boom height adjusted ro ensure proper coverage
<br />of weed fofiage (according io the manufacmrer's recommerdadon). The uu of
<br />boomless or flood type nozzles is not rewmmended and may rcsul[ in decreased
<br />weed control.
<br />DO NOT apply PLATEAU to drought stressed bermudagrass.
<br />DO NOT use PLATEAU for the establishmentof sprigged or seeded bermudagrass.
<br />DO NOT use PLATEAU on World Feeder varieties of bermudagrass.
<br />DO NOT apply PLATEAU during trensidpn from dormancy to full green-up.
<br />AVOID applications of PLATEAU to newly aerated fields for 30 days after
<br />aeration.
<br />Spring Applications and Bermudagrass Tolerance; Spring application of
<br />PLATEAU herbicide should only be made after bermudagrass has reached 100%
<br />green-up, PLATEAU applications to bermudagrass during transition from witr-
<br />mr dormancy to 100% green-up will significantly delay green-up and growm of
<br />bermudagrass, resulting in the potential loss of one or more cuttings. Bermuda-
<br />gmss can be considered m have reached 100% green-up only when all stolons
<br />(mnners) have developed new active growth. Partial green-up may be characmr-
<br />ized by the green appearance of new bermudagrass growth m the field, but upon
<br />close inspection some of the stolons may no[ have begun to grow. PLATEAU
<br />applications made at this lime can still cause significant reductions in bermuda-
<br />grass growth and development and should be delayed until ]00% green-up. 70
<br />minimize bermudagrass response flora spring applications, all applications should
<br />be made postemergence to the mrgetetl summer annual or perennial weeds. See
<br />specific use directions below for appropriate postemergence timing for targeted
<br />weed species.
<br />Postemergent Control of Summer Annual and Perennial Grass Weeds; Apply
<br />PLATEAU heMicide after bermudagrass has reached fail green-up and mrget
<br />grass weeds am at the desired growth singe (see recommended cores and growth
<br />singes below). Early Spring applications made during transition from domrancym
<br />green-up will delay bermudagrassgreen-up and subsequent bermudagrass growth.
<br />Recommended PLATEAU herbicide applicetionsmay rouse some stolen intemode
<br />shortening and yellowing of the bermudagrass. The use of a nitrogen fertilizer
<br />(32-0-0 or 28-0-0) as the spiny carrier will shorten recovery thne.
<br />For summer annual grass control apply 4 to 6 oz per acre of PLATEAU early
<br />postemergence (2 to 4 leaf singe) fallowing fug bermudagras5 green-up. If target
<br />wceds are at or above boot singe, apply 6 to 8 oz per acm for control. Always add
<br />a surfactant when applying PLATEAU herbicide unless liquid fertilizer is being
<br />used es the spray caries PLATEAU will provide some preemergence annual
<br />grass control, however initial applications need to be made postemergence m
<br />target weed species.
<br />For summer perennial grass control apply 6 to IZ oz per acre of PLATEAU
<br />postemergence following bermudagmss green-up. If higher rates (B m 12 oz
<br />per acre) are needed for control of mrget species, PLATEAU herbicide can be
<br />applied in th< fall before killing frost occurs. When making a fall application,
<br />if bermudagrass has been cut for hay, allow sufficient regrowth of target species
<br />before making application. Always add a surfactant when applying PLATEAU
<br />herbicide unless liquid fertilizer is being uud as [he spray carrier.
