Application Height: Making applications at the lowest
possible height (aircraft or ground driven spray boom) that
is safe and practical reduces exposure of droplets to evap-
oration 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 field, the
applicator must compensate for this displacement by
adjusting the path of the application equipment (e.g. air-
craft or ground) upwind. Swath adjustment distance
should increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind,
smaller droplets, etc.).
Wind: Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 3-
10 mph; however, many factors, including droplet size and
equipment type, determine drift potential at any given
speed. Application should be avoided below 3 mph due to
variable wind direction and high inversion potential.
NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every
applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and
how they affect spray drift.
Temperature and Humidity: When making applications
in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larg-
er droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evapo-
ration is most severe when conditions are both hot and
dry.
Temperature Inversions: Drift potential is high during a
temperature inversion. Temperature inversions restrict verti-
cal air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to
remain in a concentrated cloud, that can move in unpre-
dictable directions due to the light variable winds common
during inversions. Temperature inversions are character-
ized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are com-
mon on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no
wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often contin-
ue into the morning. 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 an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that
layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under
low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke
that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good
vertical air mixing.
Wind Erosion: Avoid treating powdery, dry or light sandy
soils when conditions are favorable for wind erosion.
Under these conditions, the soil surface should first be
settled by rainfall or irrigation.
Aerial Application Methods and Equipment: Use 2 or
more gallons of water per acre. The actual minimum spray
volume per acre is determined by the spray equipment
used. Use adequate spray volume to provide accurate and
uniform distribution of spray particles over the treated area
and to avoid spray drift.
• Managing Spray Drift From Aerial Applications:
Applicators must follow these requirements to avoid off -
target drift movernent: 1) boom length - the distance of the
outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the
length of the wingspan or rotor, 2) nozzle orientation -
nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air
stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45
degrees, and 3) application height - without compromising
aircraft safety, applications should be made at a height of
10 feet or less above the crop canopy or tallest plants.
Applicators must follow the most restrictive use cautions
to avoid drift hazards, including those found in this labeling
as well as applicable state and local regulations and
ordinances.
Ground Application (Broadcast): Use 5 or more gallons
of water per acre. The actual minimum spray volume per
acre is determined by the spray equipment used. Use
adequate spray volume to provide accurate and uniform
distribution of spray particles over the treated area and to
avoid spray drift.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Fill the spray tank 1/2 to 3/4 full with clean water. Use a
calibrated measuring device to measure the required
amount of Joumeym herbicide. Add Journey to the
spray tank while agitating. Fill the remainder of the tank
with water.
For postemergence applications, add a surfactant to the
spray tank (See Spray Adjuvants For Postemergence
Applications) section of this label for specific recommen-
dations). Maintain agitation while spraying to ensure a uni-
form spray mixture. An antifoaming agent may be added
to the tank if needed.
When tank mixing Journey with recommended herbi-
cides, add wettable powders, dispersible granules or other
dry formulations first, then ECs, then Journey, and then
an adjuvant.
SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS
In areas where spray drift is a concern Journey should
not be applied during windy or gusty conditions unless
applications are being made with an enclosed or shielded
spray system and /or the addition of a drift control agent.
DO NOT apply if rainfall is threatening. Rainfall within
1 hour after postemergence Journey application may
reduce weed control.
GROUND APPLICATIONS
Uniformly apply with properly calibrated ground equipment
in 2 or more gallons of water per acre. Application equip-
ment specially designed to make low volume application
should be used when making applications using less than
10 gallons of water per acre. A spray pressure of 20 to 40
psi is recommended.
Adjust the boom height to ensure proper coverage of
weed foliage or soil surface (according to the manufactur-
er's recommendation). Avoid overlaps when spraying.
SPOT TREATMENTS
To prepare the spray solution, thoroughly mix in water
0.625 to 13% (0.8 to 17 oz/gallon water) Journey plus an
adjuvant (see Spray Adjuvants For Postemergence
Applications section). A methylated seed oil at 1 % by
