spray volume is the recommended spray adjuvant. When
<br />making spot applications, spray coverage should be suffi-
<br />cient to moisten the leaves of the target vegetation, but
<br />not to the point of runoff. See section on desired species
<br />and DO NOT exceed the specified Journey° herbicide
<br />rate per acre. Also see Weeds Controlled, Special
<br />Weeds Controlled and Residual Bareground Weed
<br />Control sections of this label for specific rate and /or tank
<br />mix instructions. DO NOT apply more than 32 oz of
<br />Journey per acre.
<br />AERIAL APPLICATION
<br />All precautions should be taken to minimize or eliminate
<br />spray drift. Fixed wing aircraft and helicopters can be used
<br />to apply Journey; however, when making applications by
<br />fixed wing aircraft, maintain appropriate buffer zones to
<br />prevent spray drift out of the target area. Aerial equipment
<br />designed to minimize spray drift such as a helicopter
<br />equipped with a Microfoil• boom, or Thru- ValveT" boom
<br />or raindrop nozzles, must be used and calibrated. Except
<br />when applying with a Microfoil boom, a drift control agent
<br />may be added at the recommended label rate. To avoid
<br />drift, applications should not be made during inversion
<br />conditions, when winds are gusty, or under any other con-
<br />ditions that promote spray drift.
<br />Uniformly apply specified amount of Journey in sufficient
<br />spray volume to provide adequate coverage of target area
<br />or foliage. Include an adjuvant in the spray solution (See
<br />Spray Adjuvants For Postemergence Applications
<br />section). A foam - reducing agent may be added at the rec-
<br />ommended rate, if needed.
<br />IMPORTANT: Thoroughly clean application equipment,
<br />including landing gear, immediately after use of this prod-
<br />uct. Prolonged exposure of this product to uncoated steel
<br />(except stainless steel) surfaces may result in corrosion
<br />and failure of the exposed part. The maintenance of an
<br />organic coating (paint) may prevent corrosion.
<br />Avoid overlaps when spraying.
<br />SPRAY ADJUVANTS FOR POSTEMERGENCE
<br />APPLICATIONS
<br />Postemergence applications of Journey require a spray
<br />adjuvant. See Special Weed Control section. Due to
<br />variations in surfactant contents, certain surfactants con-
<br />taining high amounts of alcohols, paraffin -based petroleum
<br />oils, and other compounds which can increase phytotoxic-
<br />ity to desirable vegetation, it is recommended to choose a
<br />low phytotoxic surfactant.
<br />Methylated Seed Oils or Vegetable Oil Concentrates:
<br />Instead of a surfactant, a methylated vegetable -based
<br />seed oil concentrate containing 5% to 20% surfactant and
<br />the remainder methylated vegetable oil is the preferred
<br />adjuvant for use with Journey, and may be used at the
<br />rate of 1.5 to 2 pints per acre. Methylated seed oils pro-
<br />vide their greatest effects at 30 GPA or less. At spray vol-
<br />umes above 50 GPA, their advantage appears negated.
<br />When using spray volumes greater than 30 gallons per
<br />acre, methylated seed oil or vegetable, based seed oil
<br />concentrates should be mixed at a rate of 1 % of the total
<br />spray volume or alternatively use a nonionic surfactant as
<br />described below. Research indicates these oils may aid in
<br />deposition and uptake of Journey for hard -to- control
<br />perennials, waxy leaf species or when plants are under
<br />moisture or temperature stress.
<br />Nonionic Surfactants: Use a nonionic surfactant at the
<br />rate of 0.25% v/v or higher (see manufacturer's label) of
<br />the spray solution (0.25% v/v is equivalent to 1 quart in
<br />100 gallons). For best results, select a nonionic surfactant
<br />with an HLB (hydrophilic to lipophilic balance) ratio
<br />between 12 and 17 and having at least 60% surfactant in
<br />the formulated product (alcohols, fatty acids, oils, ethylene
<br />glycol or diethylene glycol should not be considered as
<br />surfactants to meet the above requirements).
<br />Silicone -based Surfactants: See manufacturer's label
<br />for specific rate recommendations. Silicone -based surfac-
<br />tants may reduce the surface tension of the spray droplet
<br />allowing greater spreading on the leaf surface as com-
<br />pared to conventional nonionic surfactants. However,
<br />some silicone -based surfactants may dry too quickly, limit-
<br />ing herbicide uptake and higher spray volumes may exhibit
<br />"runoff ".
<br />Fertilizer /Surfactant Blends: Nitrogen -based liquid fertil-
<br />izers such as 28 0 1'0 N, 32% N, 10 -34 -0, or ammonium sul-
<br />fate, may be added at the rate of 2 to 3 pints per acre in
<br />combination with the recommended rate of nonionic sur-
<br />factant or methylated seed oil. Research indicates that
<br />nitrogen -based fertilizers aid in the burndown of annual
<br />weeds and increase Journey uptake through waxy leaf
<br />species. The use of fertilizers in a tank mix without a non-
<br />ionic surfactant or a methylated seed oil is not recom-
<br />mended and may result in herbicide failure.
<br />TANK MIXES
<br />Journey may be tank mixed with Pendulum' AquaCapT"
<br />herbicide for additional control of late season annual
<br />grasses and certain broadleaves. For additional weed con-
<br />trol, Journey may be tank mixed with Accord•,
<br />Roundup Pro®, Roundup Ultra ®, glyphosate, Arsenal*,
<br />diuron, Campaign®, Finale ®, Garlon® 3A, MSMA,
<br />Vanquish', Overdrive®, Sahara® DG, Oust®, Escort®, or
<br />Tordon® herbicides, or other labeled products. A com-
<br />patibility test is advised for products not listed. Tank mix-
<br />tures with 2,4 -D and other phenoxy type herbicides have
<br />resulted in reduced control of perennial grass weeds.
<br />Consult manufacturer's labels for specific rates and weeds
<br />controlled. Always follow the more restrictive label when
<br />making an application involving tank mixes.
<br />FOR WEED CONTROL IN PASTURE
<br />AND RANGELAND
<br />For the control of undesirable weeds in pasture and range-
<br />land (see Guidelines For Rangeland Use section), apply
<br />Journey at rates up to 32 oz per acre as a broadcast
<br />treatment or as a 0.625% to 13% solution with 1.0% MSO
<br />for spot treatments. See appropriate sections of this label
<br />for specific use directions.
