<br />rows, non-irigation dimhbanks, and around fans buildings, and CRP acres. A
<br />non-ionic surfactant cleared for use on growing crops at the manufacturer's rec-
<br />ommended rate is recommended for all applications of this product Use a higher
<br />recommended rate of surfacmnt in the spray mixture whrn applying Tower spiny
<br />volumes per acre.
<br />General Use PrecauHans and Restrictions
<br />Maximum Application Rate: Do not apply more than 4 pints per acre of
<br />Redeem R&P per amual growing season (1.125 16 ac of triclopyr plus 0.375 Ib
<br />ae of clopyralid).
<br />)n California and Florida, the maximum use rate is 2$ pints (0.75 16 ae triclopyr,
<br />0.25 Ib ae clopyrelid) per acre per annual use season.
<br />Chemigatioo: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
<br />Rotation [o Broadleaf Crops: Do not plant broadleaf crops such as tobacco,
<br />cotton, soybeans, sunflower, clover, alfalfa, and many others in treated areas until
<br />an adequately sensitive bioassay shows that clopyralid is no longer detectable in
<br />the soil.
<br />Field Bioassay Instructions: in fields previously treated with this product, plant
<br />short test rows of the intended rotational crap across the original direction of
<br />application in a manner m sample field conditions such as soil texture, soil pH,
<br />drainage, and any other variable that could affect the seed bed of the new crop.
<br />Field bioassay at any time prior to planting of the intended rotational crop. Observe
<br />the test crop for herbicidal activity, such as poor stand (effect on seed germination)
<br />chlorosis (yellowing), and necrosis (dead leaves or shoots), or stunting (reduced
<br />growth). If herbicidal sympmms do not occur, the test crop can be grown If
<br />there is apparent herbicidal activity, wait one year before repeating bioassay or
<br />plant a crop mlerant to dopyralid such as barley, counts (rapeseed), grasses, field
<br />coin, oats, sugar beets, or wheat.
<br />Do mot contaminate water intended for irrigation ar domestic purposes: To
<br />avoid injury to crops or other desirable plants, do not treat or allow spray drift to
<br />fall onm banks or bottoms of irtigation ditehes or other channels that catty water
<br />that may be used for irrigation purposes.
<br />Tank Mixtures: Observe label of other products used in tank mixtures and follow
<br />all applicable label recommendations.
<br />Do not spray pastures if injory to existing forage legumes or other desirable
<br />broadleaf plaota cannot be tolerated. This product caul injure or kill legumes
<br />and most other broadleaf plants. However, the smnd and growth of esmblished
<br />perennial grasses is usually improved after treatment, especially when rainfall is
<br />adequate and grazing is deferred.
<br />Do not apply to desirable legume species with exposed roots or suckers such
<br />as pod bearing plants like acacia, locust, mimosa, redbud, or mesquite.
<br />Established grasses are tolerant to this product, but newly seeded grasses
<br />may be injured until well established as indicated by tittering, developmrnt of e
<br />secondary root system, and vigorous growth.
<br />Do not use on smooth brome grass grown for seed.
<br />Grazing and Nayiag Restrictions
<br />Grazing or harvesting green forage:
<br />I) lactating dairy animals: Do not guru or harvest green forage from bested
<br />area for 14 days after treatment
<br />Z) Other Livestock: No grazing restrictions.
<br />Haying (harvesting of dried forage):
<br />1) Lacmting dairy animals: Do not harvest hay until the next growing season.
<br />2) Other Livestock: Do not harvest hay far 7 days after treatment.
<br />Slaughter Restrictions:
<br />Withdrsw livestock from grazing treated grass or consumption of Heated hay at
<br />least 3 days before slaughter. This restriction appliesm grazing during the season
<br />of treatment or hay harvested during [he uason of treatment.
<br />Do not transfer livestock from treated grazing areas (or feeding of treated
<br />hay) te sensitive broadleaf crop areas without first allowing 7 days of grazing
<br />on an untreated pasture (or feeding of untreated hay). If livestock are transferred
<br />within less than 7 days of grazing untreated pasmrc or eating untreated hay, urine
<br />and manure may contain enough clopyralid te cause injury m sensitive broadleaf
<br />plants.
<br />Crazing poisonous plants: Herbicide application may increase palambility of
<br />certain poisonous plants. Do not graze treated areas until poisonous plants are
<br />dry and no longer palamble to ]ivesmck.
<br />Do not apply this product with a mistblower.
<br />Avoiding Injury to Non-target Plants
<br />This product can affem susceptible broadleaf plants directly through foliage and
<br />indirectly by root uptake from treated soil. Therefore, do not apply this product
<br />directly to, or allow spray drib to come into concoct with vegetables, ornamentals,
<br />various susceptible broadleafcrops, or othersuscepnble desimblenon-targetplants.
<br />Small areas of new legume seedlings should be established prior to seeding more
<br />extensive areas in order to determine if phymtoxic residues are present in the soil
<br />of previously bested areas at levels that could inhibit legume establishment.
<br />Do not use plant materials from treated areasor manure from animals grazing
<br />treated areas for composting or mulching of desirable susceptible broadleaf
<br />plants or apply such materials to land used for growing broadleaf crops,
<br />ornamentals, orchards, or other suscepfible desirable plants. Plant materials
<br />or manure may contain enough dopymlid m cause injury to susceptible plan[
<br />species.
<br />Residues in Plants or Manure: Do not use plant residues, including hay or
<br />straw from treated areas, or manure from animals that have grazed or consumed

<br />forage from treated areas for composting or mulching where susceptible plants
<br />may be grown the following season. Do not spread manure from animals that
<br />have grazed or consumed forage or hay from treated azeas otr land used for
<br />' growing susceptible broadleaf crops. To promote herbicidal decomposition, plant
<br />residues should be evenly incorporated or burned. Brcakdawm of clopyralid in
<br />crop residues or manure is more rapid undo warm, moist soil conditions and may
<br />be enhanced by supplemental irrigation.
<br />Avoid Spray Drill
<br />Avoid spray drift since very small quantities of the spray, which may not be
<br />visible, may severety injure susceptible crops during active growth or dormant
<br />periods. Use coarse sprays m minimize drift. Ta aid in further reducing drift, a
<br />drift wntrol or deposition agent suimble for agricultural use may be used with this
<br />product. If used, follow all use recommendations and precautions on the product
<br />label.
<br />Ground application: With ground equipmene, spray drift can be lessened by
<br />keeping the spray boom as low as possible; by applying 10 gallons or more of
<br />spray per acre; by keeping the operating spiny pressures at the manufacturer's
<br />minimum recommended pressures for the specified nozzle type used (]ow pressure
<br />nozzles arc available from spray equipment manufacturers); and by spraying when
<br />the wind velocity is ]ow (Follow smte regulations). Avoid application under
<br />completely calm conditions which may be conducive m a'n inversion. In hand-
<br />gun applications, select the minimum presmre required to obtain adequate plant
<br />coverage without forming a mist. Do not apply with a mist blower.
<br />Aerial application: With aircraft, drift can be lessened by using straight stream
<br />nozzles directed straight back; by using a spray boom no longer than P, of the
<br />rotor or wing length of the avcmft; by using drift control systems or drift control
<br />additives, and by keeping spray pressures low enough m provide coarse spray
<br />droplets. Do not use a thickening agent with the Microfoii or the Thm-Valve
<br />booms, or other systems which cannot accommodate thick sprays. Spray only
<br />when the wind velocity is low (Follow state regulations). Avoid calm conditions
<br />which may be conducive m etr inversions.
<br />Do not apply by aircraft when an air temperature inversion exists: Such a
<br />condition is characterized by little or no wind and with lower air temperature
<br />near the ground than at highs levels. The use of a smoke device on the aircraft
<br />or continuous smoke column at or near the she of application will indicate air
<br />dhcton and velocity, and whether a temperature inversion is present, as indicated
<br />by horizontal layering of the smoke.
<br />Sprayer Clean-0ut
<br />7o avoid injury to desirable plants, equipment used m apply Redccm R&P should
<br />be thoroughly cleaned before reusing to apply any other chemicals.
<br />]. Ainx and flush application equipment thoroughly after use at least three rimes
<br />with water Dispose of rinse water ninon-cropland area away from water
<br />supplies.
<br />2. During the ucond rinse, add 1 qt of household ammonia for every 25 gals
<br />of water. Cimulate the solution through the entire system so that all internal
<br />surfaces are contacted (I 5-20 minutes). Let the solution stand for several hours,
<br />prefembty overnight.
<br />3. Flush the solution out of the spiny rank through the boom.
<br />4. Rinse the system twice with clean water, recirculating and drzining each dine.
<br />5. Remove nozzles and careens and clean separately.
<br />Spray Drift Management
<br />Avoid spiny drift at the application site. The interaction of many equipment-
<br />and-weather-related factors determine the potential for apmy drift. Users arc
<br />responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions.
<br />The following drift managemcntrequirements must be followed m avoid off-mrgct
<br />drfr movemrnt from aerial applications:
<br />1. The dismnce of the outer most operating nozzles on the boom must not exceed
<br />tL the length of the rotor.
<br />2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the av stream and never be
<br />pointed downwards more than 45 degrees.
<br />Where smtes have more stringent regulations, they should be observed.
<br />The applicamr should be familiar with and take into account the information
<br />covered in the following Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory. [This information is
<br />advisory in Harare and does not supersede mandamry label rcquirements.j
<br />Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory
<br />Information On Droplet Size: The most effective way to reduce drift potential is
<br />to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest
<br />droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets
<br />reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improp-
<br />sly, or under unfavorable environmenml conditions (tie Wind, Temperature and
<br />Humidity, and Temperature lnversions).
<br />Controlling Droplet Size:
<br />s Volume-Use high flow rate nozzles te apply the highest prsctica] spray vol-
<br />ume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
<br />s Pressure-Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures.
<br />For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher
<br />flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
<br />r Number of Nozzles-Use the minimum number of nozzles thatprovide unifottr
<br />coverage.
<br />~ Nozzle Orientation--0rienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel
<br />m the airstream produced larger droplets than other onentations and is the rec-
<br />ommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet
<br />size and increase drift potential.
