This BOOM HEIGHT will prevent the tank mix partner from interfering with the dissolution of the ESCORT XP. Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified) which provides uniform SPRAYER CLEANUP coverage reduces the exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. Spray equipment must be cleaned before ESCORT XP is sprayed. Follow the cleanup procedures specified on the labels of previously applied products. If no WIND directions are provided, follow the six steps outlined below. Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion At the End of the Day When multiple loads of ESCORT XP herbicide are applied, it is recommended potential) or more than 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed.
