APPLY THESE SPRAY SOLU770N5 IN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND CALIBRATED EQUIPMENT CAPABLE OF DELIVERING DESIRED VOL- UMES. SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT AVOID DRIFT. EXTREME CARE MUST BE USED WHEN APPLYING THIS PRODUCE TO PREVENT INJURY TO DESIRABLE PLANTB AND CROPS. Do no[ allow the herbicide solution [o mist, drip, drift or spiuh onto desirable vegetation since minute quantities of this product can cause severe damage or deswetion to the crop, plants or other areas on which treatment was not intrnded. Avoiding splay drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applica- tor. The interaction of many equipment and weather-relatrd factors determine the potential for spiny drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible far considering ell these factors when making decisions. , 7.] Aerial Equipment DO NOT APPLY THIS PRODUCE USING AERIAL SPRAY EQUIPMENT EXCEPT UNDER CONDIT10N5 AS SPECIFIED WITHIN THIS LABEL.

AERIAL SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-mrget drift movement from aerial applications m agriculmml field crops. ]. The distance of the omermost noules on the boom must not exceed $ the length of the wingspan or rotor. 2. Nozzles must always point backward, parallel with me ah sveam and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they Should be observed. Importance of Droplet Size The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is [o apply the largest droplets that provide sir%- cienl coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable envhonmental conditions (see the "Wimd", "Temperature sod Humidity", and "Temperature Inversions" sections of this label). Controlling Droplet Size • L'olume: Use high-flow-rate nozzles to apply the highest pmetical spiny vol- ume. Nozzles with the higher rated flows produce larger droplets. • Pressure: Use the lower spiny pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure inducts droplet size and dots not improve canopy prnetration. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher-flow-rate mules instead of increasing pressure. • Number of noules: Use the minimum number of noules that provide uniform eavemge. • Noule orienmtion: Orienting noules so that the spray is released backwazds, parallel [o the airstream, will produce larger droplets thatt other orientations. Significant deflection from the horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase ,~y~ drifr potential. ~Nnzzle Type: Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intendedapplication. With roost nozzle types, narower spiny angles produce largerdroplets. Consider using lowdrift noules. Solid stream nozzles oriented snaight back produce larger droplets than other nozzle types. • Boom length: For, some use pattems, reducing the effective boom lrngth to less than 8. of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width.

Making applications at fhe lowest height that is safe reduces the exposure of the droplets to evaporation and wind. Swath Adjusime¢t When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced down- wind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, [he applicamr must compensate Cor this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with inercasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller droplets, etc.). Wind Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 10 miles per hour. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 miles per hour due m variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind pattems. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind pattems and how they affect drill. Temperature and Humidity When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets [o comptnsate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. Temperature Inversions Applications should not occur during a tempemmre inversion because drift po- tential is high. Temperature inversions reshict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain N a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inver- sions. Temperature inversions are chamaeriud by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light m no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the rooming. 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 m aimmft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally vt a cancentmted cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke [hat moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air miring. Sensitive Areas Theproduc[should only be applied whenthe potential far drift badjactntsensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known habimt for dutatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minvnal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas). Avoitl direct applicadon m any body of water. Aircraft Mainte¢ance Thoroughly wash airemti, especially landing gear, after each day of spraying to remove residues of this product accumulated during spraying or from spills. PROLONGED EXPOSURE OF THIS PRODUCE TO UNCOATED STEEL SUR- FACES MAY RESULT IN CORROSION AND POSSIBLE FAII-URE OF THE PART. LANDING GEAR IS MOST SUSCEPTBLE. The maintenance of an organic coating (paint), which meets aerospace specification MIIIC-38413, may prevent corrosion. 7,2 Cround Broadcast Equipment Ust the recommended rotes of this product in 3 to 40 gallons of water per acre as a broadcast spiny uNess otherwise specified. As density of weeds increases, spiny volume should be increased within the recommended range to ensure complete coverage. Carefully select proper noules m avoid spraying a fine mist. For best results with ground application equipmenS use flat spiny nozzles. Check for even distribution of spiny droplets. 7,3 Hand-Held or High-Volume Equipment Apply to foliage of vegetation to be controlled. For applications made on a spmy- to-wet basis, spray coverage should be uniform and complete. Do not spiny to the point of mnoff. Use coarse sprays only. For recommended rates and timing, refer to the "ANNUAL WEEDS--Hand-Held or High-Volume Equipment" section of this product label. 7.4 Selective Equipment This product may be applied through recirculating spiny systems, shielded ap- plicators, hooded sprayers, wiper applicators or sponge bars, after dilution and thorough mixing with water, to listed weeds growing in any non-crop site specified on this label. In cropping systems, hooded sprayers, shielded sprayers, and wipers may be used in row middles (in between rows of crop plants) where any dripping or leaking will not conme[ crop foliage, when listed under "TYPES OF APPLICATION" in me crop sections of this products labeling. Such equipment must 6e capable of preventing all crap contact with herbicide solutions and operated without leakage of spiny mists or dripping onto crop. Wipers over-the-rap of crops may be used only when specificalty recommended in this product's labeling. AVOID CONTACT OF I%RBICIDE WITH DESIRABLE VEGETATION. Contact of the herbicide solution with desirable vegetation may result in damage or deswction. Applicators used above desirable vegetation should be adjusted so that the lowest spiny stream or wiper contact point rs at least 2 inches above the desirable vegetation. Droplets, mist, foam or splatter of the herbicide solution settling ov desirable vegetation may result in discoloration, stunting or deswction. Applications made above the crops should be made when the weeds are a minimum of 6 inches above the desirable vegetation. Better results may be obtained when more of the weed is exposed to the herbicide solution. Weeds not contacted by the herbicide solution will not be affected. This may occur in dense clumps, .II rights reserved.
