Observe any special use and application restrictions and limitations, including method of application and pemtissble areas of use as promulgated by state ar local authorities. Uae In Hawa6: In Hawaii, approved uses of Tordon 22K arc limited to [host described in Supplemental Labeling which may be obtained from your Dow Agro- Sciences repmsentative ar chemical dealer. Refer to this Supplemental Labeling for specific use directions and precautions. To prevent damage to crops and other desirable plants, mad and follow all directions and precautions on this label and container before using. Do Not Mi: With Dry Fertilizer. Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Grazing Restrictions: When applying more than 1 quart of Tordon 22K per acre, do not cut grass for feed within two weeks after treatrnrnt. Meat animals grazing for up to two weeks after vestment should be removed from treated areas three days prior to slaughttt. Do not grane lactating dairy animals on treated areas within two weeks star treatrnent. Gress Tolerance: Tordon 22K at rotes over 1 quart per acre may suppress certain established grosses, such as bromegmss, blue gmmma, and buffalogmss. However, subsequent grass growth should be improved by release from weed competition. Grazing Poisonous Plants: Herbicide application may increase palatability of certain poisonous planss. Do not graze treated areas until poisonous plants am dry and no longer palatable to livestock. Mazimum Use Rates: • Nancropland Areas: Total zest of Tordon 22K, including reveatments ar spot treaunenta, must not ezcced I Ib a.i. piclomm (2 quarts of Tordon 22K) per acre per annual growing season. • Rangeland and Permanent Grass Pasmrea: For control of noxious or invasive weeds as defined by federal, state, or local authorities, Tordom 22K may be applied at up to 2 quarts per acre per annual growing season as a broadcast treatment. Spot treatments may be applied at the equivalent broadcast rote of up to 2 quarts per acre. For control of other broadleaf weeds and woody plants, 7ordon 22K may be applied broadcast at up m I quart per acre per annual growing season. Spot treatments may be appbed at ur equivalent broadcast mt< of up to 2 quarts per acre per annual growing season, but not more tttao 50% of an acre may be treated. Repeat treatments may be applied as necessary, but total use must not exaed the maximum amount specified. • Cropland (Spring-seeded Wheat, Barley and Oats): Do not apply mom than ] t/ fluid ounces of Tordon 22K per acre during [he small groin growrng season. • Fallow Cropland (Not Rotated to Broadleaf Crops): Do not apply more than 1 pint per acm as a broadcast veavnent per annual growing season. • Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) for Seeding to Permanent Grasses Only: Do not broadcast apply more than 1 quart per acre of Tordon 22K per aunual growing season mr apply mom than 2 quarts per acre per annual growing season as a spot appkcation. 7o reduce potential damage to subsequent sma6 grain crops, use the lower rote or discontinue the use of Tordon 22K at (east 2 years prior to the seeding of small groin crops. Aher CRP, do not plant broadleaf crops in treaud acres until an adequately sensitive bioassay shows that na detectable piclomm is present in the sml, Precautions for Avoiding ]njury to Non-target Plants • Do not use manure from animals grazing treated areas or feeding on treated hay on land used for growing broadleaf crops, ornamentals, orchards or other susceptible, desirable plants. Manure may contain enough piclomm to cause injury to susceptible plants. • Do not use grass or hay from treated areas for composting or mulching of susceptible broadleaf crops. • Do not transfer livestock from treated grazing areas (or feeding of treated hay) onto sensitive broadleaf crop areas without first e6owing 7 days of grazing on an untreated grass pasmrc (or feeding of untreated hay). Otherwise, urine and manure may contam enough piclomm to cause injury to srnsitive broadleaf plants. • Do not contaminate water intended for irrigation or domestic purposes. 7o avoid injury u crops or other desirable planss, do not vest or allow spmy drift or mnoff to fall onto banks or bottoms of irrigation ditches, either dry or containing waur, or other channels that carry water that may be used for irrigation or domestic purposes. • Do not use on flood ar sub-irrigated land. • Da not rotate to food or feed crops on treated land if they are not registered for use with piclomm until an adequately sensitive bioassay or chemical test shows that no derecmble piclomm is presto[ in the soil. • Do not spray if the loss of forage legumes, including clover cannot be tolerated. Tordon 22K may injure or kill legumes. New legume seedlings may not grow for several years following application of this herbicide. • Do not apply to snow or frown ground, Application during very cold (near freezing) weadrer is not advisable. • Tordon 22K should no[ be applied on residential or commercial lawns or near ornamental trees and shrubs. Untreated trees can occasionally be affecud by root uptake of herbicide through movement into the mpsoil or by excretion of the product from the roots of nearby vested veer. Do not apply Tordon 22K within the root zone of desirable trees unless such injury can be tokmted. • Do not move treated soli m areas other than those treatment sites for which Tordon 22K is registered far use. Also, do not use treated soil m grow plants Datahase and format copyright ©bv Vance Communication Corp. for which use of 7ordon 22K is not regisured until an adequately sensitive bioassay or chemical test shows that no detectable residue of piclomm is present in the sail. • Do not make application when circumstances favor movement from vest- ment site. Precautions for Avoiding Injurious Spray Drift Do not apply or otherwise permit Tordon 22K or sprays curtaining Tordon 22K to contact crops or other desirable broadleaf ptants, including but not limited m alfalfa, beans, gropes, melons, peas, potatoes, saft]ower, soybeans, sugar beets, sunflower, tomatoes, and other vegetable crops, flowers, fruit plants, omamcntals or shade tlccs or [hc soil containing roots of nearby valuable plants. Applications should be made to avoid spmy drift since very sma6 quantities of spmy, which may not be visible, may seriously injure susceptible crops during both growing and dormant periods. To mmimiu spmy drift, use low nozzle pressure; apply as a coarse spray; and use nozzles designed for herbicide application that do not produce a fine droplet spmy. To aid in further reducing spmy drift, e drift control and deposition aid may be used with [his product, especialty when wear alone is used as the carrier. If a drift control aid is used, follow ell use recommendations and precautions on the product label. Do not use a thickening agent with Microfoil or Thm-Valve booms, or other sysums that cannot accommodate thick sprays. Ground Equipmemt: With ground equipment spmy drift can be lessened by keeping the spmy boom as low as possible; by applymg 10 gallons or more of spmy per acre; by keeping [he operating spmy pressures at the manufacturer's recommended minimum pressures for Ote specific nozzle type used (low pressure nozzles are available from spmy equipment manufacturers); by spmymg when the wind velocity is low (follow state regulations). Avoid calm conditions which may be conducive to air inversions. Direct sprays no.higher than the tops of target vegetation end keep spmy pressures low enough m provide coarse spray droplets to minimize drift. Aspmy-thickening agent may be used m further reduce the potential for drift. Aerial Application: Avoiding spmy drift at the application site is the rcspoasi- biliry of the applicator. The intemcvon of many equipment-and-weather-related tacmrs deurnine the potential for spmy drift. The appkwtor and [he grower arc responsible for considering all these factors when makrng decisions. The following drift managcmentrequiremenssmust be followed to avoid otf target drift movement from aerial applications: 1. The distance of the outer most operating noules on the boom must not exceed y. the length of the wingspan or rotor. 2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air sveam and never be pointed downwards more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringrnt regulations, they shall be observed. The applicator should be familiar with and rake into account the information covered m the following Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory. [This information is advisory in nature and does not supersede mandatory label requirements.] Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information on Droplet Size: The most effective way m reduce drift poundal is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide su%cient coverage and control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift poundal, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improp- erly, or under unfavorable endvonmenta] conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Tempemmre Inversions). Convo6ing Droplet Size: • Volume-Use high flow rote nozzles to apply the highest practical spmy vol- ume. Noules with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. • Pressure-Do not exceed the Houle manufacmrei s recommended pressures. For many Houle types lower pressure products larger droplets. When higher flow rotes am needed, use higher flow rote nozzles insuad of increasing presmre. • Number of Nozzles-Use the minhnum numbs of nozzles thatprovide uniform coverage. • Noule Orientafion-Orienting noules so [hat the spray is mleased pam6el to the avstream produced larger droplets than other orientalrons and is the rec- ommended practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. • Noule Type-Use a noulc type that is designed for dre intended application. With most Houle types, narrower spmy angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift noules. Solid svwm nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and [he lowest drift. Boom Length: Far some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3'. of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drfr without reducing swath width. Application Height: Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants unless a greater height is required For aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest hmght Otat is safe reduces :xposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. Swath Adjustment: When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the Geld, the applicator must compensau for this displacement by adjusting the path >f the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing irft poun[ia] (higher wind, smaller drops, euJ N'ind: Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2-10 mph. However, zany factors, including droplet size and equipment type dcunnine drift poential st any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influrnce rights reserved.
